So did VH1 just throw them a gigantic amount of money they couldn't refuse?

No, they're both owned by Viacom, which is planning to eliminate channels in the near future.

"Viacom CEO Bob Bakish will focus on six “flagship brands” — BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., and Paramount — as part of his long-awaited company reorganization, out this morning with its year-end earnings."

Did Valentina just say she modeled her dress off of her mother's wedding video?

Good god, that's so wholesome I might puke.

She did say exactly that. I love how she smiles all of the time when she's performing! :)

I can't believe how pretty Farrah is. Even out of drag... what a loving gorgeous face.

Also Cynthia's Cu Cu explanation in the werk room was everything. I know people are so annoyed with cu cu this and cu cu that, but I can't get enough of it. I wish she was my crazy Auntie.

I think it was the sidekick honestly. Valentina's sidekick was one of the funnier ones and seemed to have a personality beyond just explaining the princess character.

I loved Charlie's sidekick! It was 100% in the vein of the fairy godmothers in Disney's Sleeping Beauty and it was funny. :(

The RPDR reddit community has been tracking rumors and gossip and two people apparently predicted not only tonight's elimination, but the circumstances and the season 10 invite, so if anyone wants a glimpse of the likely top 4 based on rumors, then be sure to check out this google doc :tinfoil:

I didn't read all of them, but I saw one queen I'm rooting for in the top 4, so I'm satisfied and ready to just enjoy the rest of the season :neckbeard:

I am rapidly getting on Shea's bandwagon.

She's flawless. Have either she or Valentina made a single misstep in the entire competition? Every challenge, every runway, they've either excelled or led the middle of the pack.

they're perfect, they're beautiful, they look like models 😍

Has anyone been keeping up with the bonus clips on the logotv site? There have been really good ones every single episode. This week we had a cut drama scene where Nina accused Aja of stealing her makeup... it was good and made me like them both even more!

I just want Alexis to leave... she's talented in her own right, but she doesn't have the same level of charisma as the other remaining contestants :cry:

Did anyone in this thread listen to the single from Peppermint, Sasha, Aja, and Alexis? It's pretty fun if you liked "Read U Wrote U". The fact that Alexis's verse is the weakest in the song is probably the root of my antipathy toward her tbh :(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0o0PK7AXFE
Peppermint had a cute verse that charmed me... Sasha laid me flat with her deep even voice edging on monotone and clever wordplay/jokes that have relevance inside and outside of drag... Aja killed it with references to every club kid in a rap that went relatively hard and I love ittt

Alexis just kind of made a few rhymes and pushed her #brand. Boring!

From the second link:

quote:

Basically:
  • A celebrity/previous and extremely messy contestant in and out of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4 and All Stars 2,Phi Phi O'Hara, called out a r/rupaulsdragrace/ mod for being Donald Trump with regards to deleting posts
  • /r/rupaulsdragrace/ mods made a post to apologize to contestant.
  • They apparently talked it out with the rogue mod.
  • They added a new mod, who claims to be the friend of that contestant, Phi Phi O'Hara
  • The most known mod,broosh, said that the new mod was added in order to brand the subreddit in order to get closer to the contestants.
  • The sub hates it because they want the subreddit to be a free discussion forum instead of just sucking up to contestants.
  • The new mod being messy and petty about the drama
  • members being extra messy
  • Phi Phi just watching the chaos ensue - She's that girl we knew she was.
  • The new mod has been removed and contrary to popular belief, the rogue mod,saintrorem, was never removed from the list of moderators.

:munch: I love it. They're calling for the main mod's head on a platter in the main subreddit. It's fun!

About the elimination:
:qq: how heartbreaking...
I hope that they put her on AS3... Wow. I can't wait for Untucked tomorrow.

it's the season of the lip-sync disappointments, I guess. I was taken so aback when they stopped the performance omg... I love to be moved by this show :') But I'm still sad about Dear Valentina!

About the winners:
I LOVED the winning team. Their conceit was hilarious, they performed beautifully, and they wrote a funny script. :3: They killed it!

wait is this the first male-sung song on the runway???

I looked it up: http://rupaulsdragrace.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Lip_Sync_Performances

The answer is no, but it's the first one not sung in falsetto that has male vocals in its entirety.
The other ones (aside from RuPaul's) were:
Bob vs. Derrick performing "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" by Sylvester
Jaymes vs. Kimora performing "Love Shack" by the B-52s
and tonight's!

I want to echo the sentiment in the thread that Trinity is nervier and Shea more talented, but all 4 of them possess the qualities in big ol' heaps so who cares? They're wonderful!

They're top notch entertainers and I am entertained! RuPaul often describes a star as a "shiny thing that people want and want to look at" and my goodness! The top 4 are stars! :swoon:

Yeah, that's my default but I wasn't sure if there were any special events for the finale or anything.

I'm going to try to attend tonight's performance at Roscoe's, but if anyone has any better recommendations then I'll probably show up :)
The one at Roscoe's has Alaska Thunderfuck, Trannika Rex, and Frida Lay. I haven't heard of Frida, but I've heard that Trannika is a hilarious MC and Alaska is, obviously, Alaska.

if you are less than 5'3 then do not try to drink Shea Coulee's signature drink at Roscoe's. you will be too drunk. but if you are short, you can edge near the stage and no one will ever be the wiser.
