Kimora lost for sure but I don't get much from Aja's performance. Untucked is full of her being a oval office to the infinitely more polished and better performing Valentina, and then saying IM GOING TO SLAY THIS LIPSYNC IM THE QUEEN before an average-ish performance. Like a B+.

Holy poo poo god drat.

This LSFYL was a vast improvement over last weeks. Both of them didn't know the words, actually, which...how could you not know the words to that song? It's lipsinc/karaoke 101. Anyhow, Aja's makeup was scary. She reminded me of Seth Green playing James St. James in Party Monster when he dressed up like a troll, except she was red. The chaps were not that bad, but those panties were so awful. I actually liked Kimora's look a lot more, but Kimora is just so full of herself. Phara should have been in the bottom two.

I wasn't too impressed with Valentina's look. I mean it was super awesome, but I liked Eureka's look more as far as following a theme. I love how Nina went full on grey alien. Her makeup was so good once again.

I love what Michelle said about Valentina though. "She's so gorgeous you just want to go up to her and lick her face."

So the worst are gone. Everyone else who's around has considerable talent. It's going to be a rough competition from here on out!

Beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure



The thought of Disney Drag Queens made me so excited, but then we got to it and it was a total WOMPWOMP. I was hoping for Kimora to be taken out of the competition, but after seeing Untucked, now I feel kind of bad. She was so nice about it! I'm hoping she gets a ton of gigs after this, because that end speech was really sweet.

:colbert: And I'm glad my other Vegas queen, Farrah Moan, stayed. She's so pretty, I'm sure she has some awesome runway looks ready in her travelcase that don't rely on buttpads, like Kimora's would have.

Also, now I'm hoping Aja can't take advice and leaves next episode. God, her Untucked was so angry and childish. She really did look like a discount troll. I love how she was the one talking about how she's Instagram's darling, she looks exactly like her photos, and her paint is THAT harsh. It was disappointing to see these past episodes, knowing under all that Facetune, there's not much else. Bad personality, bad look, and after her princess story, bad funny bone. Girl, bye.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

I appreciate Aja seems just self aware enough to recognize she was being bitter and upset. I hope she takes Trinity's and the others' advice about following the judges' suggestions and improving. I have to wonder if she had changed her backstory up it would have been Farrah instead? She came off more as "cursed by my mother's chain-smoking cloud" than a volcano.

I'm enjoying Trinity more every episode. She totally deserved the win, especially when so many past pageant queens couldn't or wouldn't push themselves into comedy territory. Looks like she stumbled from the sea onto Daytona Beach during race day, it was absolutely perfect.

Untucked: the "soft sculpture" remark, holy poo poo.

Kimora may have replaced Phi Phi as my most hated queen. At least Phi Phi had the excuse of an abusive home life as a kid for why she was such a poo poo.

Also, Mermaid seems to be this season's Red Kimono.

That was a terrible episode. No mini challenge and the runway was a complete flop. What the hell was up with the flood of purple lights? You couldn't actually make out any of the colors in the costumes.

And all but maybe two missed the mark on the sidekicks. The rest were stilted, unfunny, or just not at all clever.

Glad to see Kimora go and I hope Aja is next.

I loved that they openly mocked her attempt to have a "breakdown confession" moment over hip pads, of all bloody things. And I loved Ru twisting the knife in her dismissal.

Lol. Please do this and post a trip report.
Make sure to do excessive mouth pops.

I'm hoping the top 4 will be Nina, Valentina, Farrah, and Sasha. It's hard to tell as all the queens (sans Aja) are really off the hook this season.

Predicted trip report: "I don't have a career now, but I DO have a court date." :v:

I'm torn on both Farrah and Eureka. I love and hate them both They're both whiny, hateful cunts, but they're also adorable. I'd be okay with and upset in equal measure at either one going home or getting top 3. That said, they both need to step up their game a bit. Farrah is definitely from that same "I wear bought dresses and look cute" school as Kimora (just less of a hateful, stupid piece of poo poo), and needs some skill to go farther, and Eureka needs to either get her head in the game or stop sandbagging, whichever is her issue.

Football? Yaaaay
I'm absolutely shocked that Untucked could completely reverse my opinions of both Kimora and Aja. Kimora comes off TERRIBLY in the main show, but on Untucked she seemed genuine and sweet. Did get a laugh out of her hip pads thing, and of the judges just roasting her nuts over it. But Aja, jeeeeezus. I didn't really care about her either way (I mean, I was hoping she'd loving fix her makeup) but god she was just nasty in untucked. Not a fan, she can go next.

I'm even more of a fan of Shea now. You horny bitch, Shea.

Still, at this point, thinking Shea, Sasha and Nina are very strong contenders, but I'm also now thinking that Valentina is going to make top 5. Her sense of humor's really surprised me this episode, I think she could go top 3 even, if she can bring it in Snatch Game and future acting challenges. I'd also like to see Charlie go far, and I'm really waiting for Eureka to get her poo poo together. Would like to see more Peppermint, too, she's been very background the past two episodes, but she did have a moment to shine in this one.

Also, I've been waiting for this challenge since season goddamn two, and I was kind of disappointed. Oh well. :\ I guess there's only so much they can do with the time limit.

Kimora came off really well in Untucked, and Aja needs to go next unless she busts out something absolutely jaw-dropping. It's hard for me to pick a top 3, there are a lot of great queens this season, but Aja's attitude is really wearing thin. It's fine to be a bitch as long as you're not whiny. Trinity Taylor is a bitch and that's totally fine because she's polished, professional, and smart, she's not complaining or making excuses she's just a tough competitor. Aja and Farrah Moan are both looking pretty whiny and that's not cute.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

I had to mute the ep halfway through the runway, what the gently caress was that. Props to the director for somehow making it even worse by making the queens stand awkwardly on camera through their (ugh) sidekicks' narration. I'm really salty because the premise of a drag fairytale princess sewing challenge is super fun but the execution crashed really really hard.

Also wow, Aja :byodame:

Good on her for being proud of her work and feeling like she did well. But Gurl. Bitching about Nina complaining because she had to do something more elaborate than a Kim Kardashian red carpet look (like sculpting construction paper) in a very limited time while we saw her pout because she had to "sew" a goddamn loincloth. Ugh. She doesn't even have to pad or sculpt her face too much because of all those "god given" cheeks.

The bitches who get savaged by the editing (and the fans) on this show are the ones who appear to lack control of themselves when they're being bitches -- the fear-biters and the flailers. If you stay temperate and sly, ideally with a cool smirk, you can get away with drat near anything. This is entirely within the protocols of Drag Tradition, to the show's credit.

Also Aja apparently didn't get the Do Not gently caress With The Quirky Endearing One memo. It's season goddamn 9. I think she might not be the brightest knife in the shed.
