I mean they ran that loving terrible Gay for Play game show, when they could have just done loving Match Game with Drag Queens (not even Snatch Game necessarily) and had a giant loving success.

I think Alaska is certainly the front runner right now.

That being said, I thought Phi Phi killed the lip sync this week and should have won.

It may have been because I was impressed by how much Phi Phi's lip syncing has improved, but I felt her take was a better fit to the song and she sold the illusion of actually singing for me.

Alaska's lip synch was really good, so ultimately I'm not too upset, I just thought Phi Phi's was better. :shrug:

Oh and while Alaska was really fun in the acting challenge I kinda felt she stole Jinkx's Bette Davis from the BotS snatch game performances.

I want phi phi to shut her dumb mouth and just look pretty

But the best part of reality television is people inadvertently revealing all of their character flaws and Phi Phi is the absolute best at that.

Alaska and Roxxxy have since revealed that this apparent rant was actually just responses to producer questions off-screen. :sigh:

Reality TV is some hosed up poo poo, y'all.

Even so, if you're going on television to rehabilitate your image, don't badmouth fan favorites on camera. Yes, the producers set her up, but there is a way to complain about people that doesn't make you come off as an rear end in a top hat and that's Phi Phi's biggest problem.

I'm really enjoying Tatiana's new catchphrase for this season.

What did PhiPhi say just as she left the stage (that made everyone laugh)?

She sang that jumping from car to car thing.

He had a line during the critiques. I forgot what it was, but it was something positive.



He complemented Detox's comedy routine.

Part of me wonders if Phi Phi's problem with not being able to play to the audience comes from her belief she was promised a redemption edit.
One of the things editing can do is make someone look like they are on the right side of an argument. The showgirls-party city argument was started by Sharon attacking Phi Phi on the runway when Phi Phi was offstage and Sharon was the first to start with name calling. But the editors already had the audience on Sharon's side.
Phi Phi may have been doing that mind game bullshit and actively participating/instigating arguments because she was feeling secure she would come out on the good side in the edit because of her redemption promise.
If that's true she needed to realize that producer's will always go with the easiest storyline they have and WoW is certainly not a company unwilling to burn bridges with former contestants.

For me, it's partially that I've always had a soft spot for Tati and I like seeing how much she's improved.

The big thing for me however is attitude. She gives fun confessionals, she doesn't get defensive about her missteps, and when she left she expressed disappointment and feelings that Roxxxy was spared due to friendships but she didn't express bitterness.

Plus, she's so loving pretty it's ridiculous.

I don't fancy Tati to win at all, but I think she's very pretty and seems really nice and is just generally fun to watch.

I basically agree. I would be happy to see Tati in the final 3; I would be very disappointed if she won, unless she pulls off some major improvements and Alaska, Katya, and probably Detox make some major mistakes.

I think Alaska is keeping Roxxy around because she knows she can beat her. That HAS to be it.

:agreed:

I also think this is probably the best result that Tati could hope for.
She gets eliminated on an episode where most people don't feel she was the worst, if she's smart she should be able to turn that sympathy from the fans into a real career boost.

I found Tati's behind the scenes elimination really enjoyable to watch, she seems to have exactly the right attitude.

I think Alaska was worried she would be eliminated because she was the big frontrunner. Also, if one of the queens was still judging on whoever did worst that day Alaska would be the pick.

That being said, for as camera savvy as Alaska has seemed this season; these last two episodes have not been good for her. From her meltdown tonight and her continued insistence that she couldn't eliminate Roxxxy because of the shirt I think Alaska has burned a lot of good will.

It's not Drag Race but my wife and I have been going through Skin Wars and it's weird seeing RuPaul so sedate and low key.

There's a really great episode of that, where he Season 1 reunion rants at the contestants.

I always felt that Raja and Manila were fairly tongue-in-cheek about the Heathers thing. The one who really took it to heart was Delta.
I also felt Shangela was just as divisive with her Team Talent - Team Look stuff.

If these queens could meet the maker of said song and still perform and win, I'm hoping the trend follows:

Dida Ritz (Natalie Cole), Jaidynn Diore Fierce (Ariana Grande), Sahara Davenport (Martha Wash), Shangela (Vanessa Williams), Coco Montrese (The Pointer Sisters), Alexis Mateo (Fantasia Barrino), Willam (Pam Tillis), Chad Michaels (Wynonna Judd), Adore Delano (Paula Abdul), Katya (Olivia Newton-John), Pearl (Demi Lovato), Robbie Turner (Faith Evans), Chi Chi Devayne (Debbie Harry/Blondie)

Also, Akashia (Michelle Williams)
