Awesome OP!

I have a question about some T I heard through the grapevine. Someone told me that the reason they changed the prize from a lifetime supply of cosmetics to a "sickening" supply was that Sharon Needles was taking an insane amount of Nyx and then selling the extra. Anyone else heard this?

I have heard this before but have yet to see receipts. I also heard a whole bunch of challenge rewards never made it to the queens... Reddit has all the T (but again, no real receipts that I've seen)

I've said it before, I feel that Ru already knows who she wants to win each season, although she is of course open to changing that. For example, she planned on having Chad Michaels win season 4, until Sharon Needles broke out, and so to correct that, she gave her All Stars.

Actually, according to Willam, Sharon got preferential treatment from the get go. She got to shoot her entrance twice for example (I think her hat fell off the first time?) and when other girls asked to reshoot theirs they were turned down. (also they were all on season 4, and Roxxxie was on 5 how can you get this wrong are you not as obsessed as me)


Also kinda sorta related to Drag Race (but not really): Coco Peru is having a kickstarter for the pilot of her new TV show and there's a week left!
It's gonna be amazing! :allears:

DRAG RACE IS BACK ITS REALLY BACK YOU GUYS YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS :derp::dance::derp::toot:





I love Betty and her toxic personality but then I also loved Violet's personality so maybe I'm the weird one (Violet reading Naomi's toes :haw:). I just love love love shady queens when they have the talent to back it up (see: Raven).
Also Kim Chi is everything I hoped for and more I think I'm in love

I am so happy right now

Looks like the entry is deleted/private now, part of why Reddit always screencaps their drama fodder.

Reddit HATES her.
As far as I can tell she's a basic queen with a following of teenage fans she likes to sic on other people's social media.
Back when Tyra had her suicide fiasco on twitter she started the hashtag #BlockedByTyra for example.
Her fans also nagged WoW about the Transformations video she filmed with JSJ which resulted in the shortest episode yet.

tl;dr: Pretty but basic and obnoxious.

I AM SO HAPPY KIM CHI MADE IT and I am also proud of her for voicing that she was a virgin I bet you her social media is going to blow the gently caress up since that.

Honestly my expectations are so low for this returning queen it will be impossible to underwhelm.
Boring but obvious choices include: Naysha (her runway was unforgivable ffs how dare you), Tempest (is she speculated for AS2 tho? people loooove her), Shangela (but merely as a gag and she won't actually stay :(), Willam (lol no i wish :D)

As long as Kim Chi and Bob are around this season remains great, I just hope they don't overdo it with the manufactured shenanigans (anymore).

I also have to wonder if that's why Acid Betty is coming off as such a curmudgeon because the remainder of the cast is just really likeable and full of personality.

Well, no. It's because Betty is an unrepentant narcissist and any redeeming qualities she may have were edited out.
If you're really thirsty for sympathy though, you can see her pick the glass off the floor in Bitch Perfect after CLF kicked her shoe into the lights.

The only one that I have heard is that he snuck his husband into the hotel for :huh: and then was asked to leave the show. I really hope there's more to it than that, at least that he was fed up with the rigged nature of the show, or kept going off script, because that's so bland. I expect more drama from Willam.

That's the official version they had him recite at the finale.
Personally I've researched this quite a bit and am looking forward to seeing which parts were true. I've heard a particularly juicy rumor about Rhea Litre spilling the tea about Willam having an affair with one of the producers.

The few details Willam kinda confirmed make it sound like he was breaking every minor rule he could to gtfo of there (openly stealing things off set, ignoring orders from drama mongering producers etc.).
Funnily enough, the weed mentioned earlier was from Latrice and Mother Dust. It doesn't seem like that had any consequences as far as the production goes.

(Oh yeah. Storylines.)

Because snatch game. This is like the 3rd week he should've lipsynced but you can't have a professional impersonator on his caliber not make it to snatch game.
He would've gone home on every single one of those too.

The thread on reddit said it was in Metropolitan at Brooklyn.
I don't know if she's in the same place every week but I do know a lot of queens have viewing party gigs (Willam was with Laganja last week!) so you might wanna look up local queens or any queen you're particularly interested in seeing.
