It was absolutely, undeniably, unquestionably Ru pulling Katya because RuPaul's been aiming for a big queen winner and, if by chance Katya ended up in the top 3, she would have taken it all, period. Scientific. Fact. I have charts and schematics. I have red thumbtacks stuck in a map of Russia and headshots connected to each other by yarn, nobody attempt to take this away from me. :cripes:


EDIT: I'm watching the newest episode right now and have come to the conclusion that Pearl is the Peter Sellers of drag - no discernable personality herself, yet a weird knack for doing characters. It's, like, I need to hear Pearl do the Big Ang voice outside of the Snatch Game because that poo poo was so ridiculous, it's hard to believe it's her.

And I'd like to point out that, being 34 I think Kennedy and Ginger are completely out of line... but not 100% wrong? If only because I want life to beat the poo poo out of Violet so she can become an actual person.

If you're willing to wade through it, all the reunion gossip is going down on the reddit page.

Ru announces Katya as the winner to gently caress with the audience, which is pretty hilarious, but at least she walks away with $5,000 in Cash for Miss Congeniality (why am I even spoiling this? You knew it. I knew it. We all knew it). Sorry Bendela!

I really wonder what Ru's honest reaction to this season is since clearly he had a very definite idea of what he wanted the show to be, which was pretty much the exact opposite of what the audience was hoping for and expecting.

I mean, Ru's been fairly "gently caress all you motherfuckers, my show my rules," but he will have gone completely and utterly insane if he writes off everything that's been said.

It really is the best.

WoW is doing that whole countdown which featured a "BEST SEASON 7 CATCHPHRASES!" and Katya recites that loving bullshit awesomeness from memory.

The endless attempts at manufacturing quotes and catchphrases was extremely irritating, but that entire speech will go down as the best thing out of Season 7.

EDIT: If there was an AllStars 2, who would be in it? Other than Alaska and Katya, of course.
Adore's a shoe-in. I hope they re-hire Willam and then fire her again, and what the gently caress, bring back Pandora and throw her under the bus again somehow.

Because nothing makes me cackle maniacally more than a bummed out Pandora Boxx.

My boss walked in on me typing that entire last bit (his reaction being "I DON'T CARE IF YOU GOOF OFF," thank god), which then spiraled into a five minute conversation where I broke down Drag Race for him. It was pretty fantastic.

Pandora Boxx always looks bummed out.
I have Pandora's stank face from that first episode of All Stars burned into memory. I've never seen defeat so perfectly defined than the moment Pandora got paired with Mimi. Take a photo, put it in the dictionary, we're done.

Pandora Boxx: the Pagliacci of drag.

(That's not true: somewhere along the way, Pandora forgot the clown part of of the "sad clown" stereotype)

I actually have to wait until Wednesday (my friends made me promise not to watch it until we could all get together) so I'm going completely blank on all the medias, but I'm going to pretend it's going to be like the last shot in Lords of Salem, as Katya stands triumphant upon a pile of dead drag queens while "All Tomorrow's Parties" by The Velvet Underground blasts in the background while strobe lights go off.

Well, a friend blew it for me, so I would like to point out that after crowing the entire season about how Ru was clearly aiming for the first big girl win, crowning the tiniest waist in Drag Race herstery is delicious enough it might justify crowning someone who, while having changed throughout the season for the better, is still a pretty gross human being.

I mean, girl deserved it out of the three the most, I can't deny it. But I just can't imagine a scenario where $100,000 and a crown doesn't turn Violet into the worst demon.

Screw season 1, this has now become the lost season.

(it might just be. The general consensus seems to be digging it well enough.)

How do you figure that? I don't see that happening with her. I think she's self aware enough to not have that happen.
To me, it just feels like crowning Violet could lead her into confirming for herself every move that she had made was the correct decision rather than reflecting on how she was received in the front half of the season and how she can continue to better herself.

But I never warmed up to her, so I haven't been following Violet's social media stuff. Maybe she's changed for the better, but I wouldn't be surprised if she got a whole lot worse.

It's sad. I've tried to find a good gay podcast out there, and haven't come across any yet.
Specifically about gayness or simply featuring gay people? 'Cause the first 40 or so episodes of The Todd Glass Show are brilliant, but the actual gay content is pretty minimum to zero. Though to be fair Glass was in the closet for a solid chunk of those episodes.

This episode with (gay comedian/impressionist) James Adomian has a bunch of silly stuff in it (at one point Adomian does an impression of Andy Kindler doing an impression of James Adomian doing an impression of Andy Kindler), and an utterly insane Joan Rivers story:

http://nerdist.com/the-todd-glass-show-17-james-adomian/

Super on topic: I really enjoy The Shade of it All podcast, which is a Drag Race recap show done by a bunch of professional comedians that pretty much covers the entire LGBT spectrum, a couple straights and a cat. They've been covering season 7 in real time, and cover past seasons and drag/gay movies when the show isn't on the air.

Aw man. I can listen to Alyssa doing bits all day. She might be the one person in existence who started out unintentionally funny but managed to stay funny after gaining self awareness (unlike, say, Gia Gunn or Tommy Wiseau).

Another good podcast pick: The Dollop is not a gay podcast, it's a weird history podcast where a comedian tells other comedian strange news stories. The Newport Sex Scandal episode recounts the U.S. Navy's attempt to infiltrate the gay lifestyle in 1919 by... Forcing Navy officials to have lots of hot gay sex. :allears:

I didn't get any strong villain vibes out of anyone in particular other than Naysha Lopez being the one real Pageant Queen in the bunch, or everyone deciding to strangle Derrick Barry after the 500th Britney name drop.

It feels like they made sure to skew older this season (the average age seems to be about 32) to prevent the outright fuckery of last season. I dig that.
