Loved it all! I teared up when Eureka was talking to Gaga. Very happy that Nina won. I've liked her since the promos. So far my favorites are Nina, Eureka, Sasha and Valentina. Aja completely underwhelmed me. Maybe because she was talked up so much. She seems super full of herself and man, I can't get behind wearing real fur. Everyone else was mostly meh to me. Jaymes was wow bad. I know she's a comedy queen but maybe I was missing the jokes? What was her deal with the sleepy stumble on the runway? Man I hate that there's a week between shows.

Just finished Untucked and I wanted to give Nina a big giant hug. She seems so unsure of herself and her life. She's a star and can't see it. Untucked made me renew my love of Gaga. She seems to fully understand the position she's in, being a gay icon and idol to so many young people. She seems like she takes that responsibility very seriously and with a lot of humility. I love how when Valentina tried to thank her, she turned it back and was like, no thank you. Anyhow, Jaymes definitely needs someone to help her, like Bianca helped Adore. Charlie seemed like he wanted to genuinely help but that was not the time or place. Eureka I like, but I feel like she's trying to push the drama. Like, during the entrances she read everyone as they came in. Then she tried to do the whole bottom 2 thing on untucked. It seems manufactured, like she's trying to be edgy but she backs off really quick when others don't play along.

A couple of things. That was the most boring LSFYL I've ever watched. That song was utterly wasted on them. Valentina had the most gorgeous smile and beautiful teeth I have ever seen. I love her.

Nemo posted:Aja was way better than Kimora, but neither of them were Tandi Iman Dupree. 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!

I loved Eureka so I'm so disappointed. I thought it was nice that she apologized to Valentina and Sasha. I don't think Eureka was ever trying to be purposefully mean. She just made some poor jokes. I hope she comes back and kicks some super rear end season 10. Also, Meghan Trainer for the judge. No. I feel like everyone is forcing her into everything, trying to make her the next big thing. Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Oh my god peppermint killed that lip sync! When she did the shotgun move, I died. She was so on. Sorry CLF. Although I thought Nina's Jasmine was good, I am also done with the girls doing other drag queens for Snatch Game. It's so niche. You have to have seen the other seasons to get it. So many missed opportunities to do celebrities. Dear Prudence fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Apr 29, 2017 |

And then she made the comment about how yeah, she was angry and she seemed very angry herself about that. Girl, you only have yourself to blame.

Aja always overdraws her top lip and I don't get it. Looking at the normal outline, she has a really nice top lip. Comes to a good point and everything. But no, she's obsessed with the kool-aid stain lips.

I literally hid behind my hands while watching Trinity, Farrah, and Alexis in that roast. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die I was so embarrassed for them. I'm so glad Sasha did so well. And I couldn't tell if Valentina was playing up the ditzy and the accent but whatever, it worked. She was so freaking adorable.

Nihonniboku posted:It's been taken over by straight people looking to do some gay cultural tourism, and the gay community has mostly moved on, feeling unwelcome at our own bar. This is why I avoid gay clubs for the most part. I don't want to be perceived as a tourist. And I don't want to mislead someone into hitting on me only to have to turn them down because I'm straight. That's not nice and it's not fair. I completely get the whole idea that it's a safe space and I don't understand this obsession some straight women have with invading it. Stop. It's not for you! A God drat Ghost posted:Yeah, I am a straight woman and I'm pretty reluctant to go to gay bars simply because I don't want to invade someone else's space, even though I would never act like you're all describing. I pretty much only go to a gay bar when there's a performer I want to see. I've loved drag since I was a tween and first gaped at Tim Curry in Rocky Horror Picture Show, I started going to local shows in college, and now with RPDR taking off so much it seems like there are so many more straight people, esp. women, at drag shows, and I have heard some grumbling from the gay community that they feel like drag is being taken away from them. I don't know what to do about that one though. I love drag, I don't want to stop going to shows, as if I alone could turn back the mainstreaming effect. I appreciated what Lady Gaga had to say in the first episode, about being a straight woman who wants to pay the gay community respect and still be in some way a part of it. Not really a solution though. I love drag and have pretty much the same experience as you. I will occasionally go see a drag show at Hamburger Mary's but even then I feel like I'm intruding. I just make sure I bring lots and lots of cash with me and am very generous. It helps with the guilt.

Nina left her a letter, which i guess she hasn't done for any of the girls who've left so far. I think Ru was super pissed. We all thought she'd go to final three, even Ru and the when she did so spectacularly bad on the lip sinc, Ru's hand was forced and she was pissed. I mean come on, taken side by side Valentina is heads and tails better than Nina. Nina should have gone home. But there's no way Ru could have sent her home after Valentina did so awful. If be pissed too. I was hoping it might be a no elimination decision but she couldn't even justify that it was so bad. I don't know about people having meltdowns, that seems crazy, but I know I'm bummed for sure. But I know she will be the first queen to walk into that work room on All Stars 3. Who else do you think will be on All Stars 3?

gandlethorpe posted:As far as trainwreck acting challenges go, that one was at least somewhat entertaining and not too cringeworthy. Valentina had the idea of working in an office, Nina had the idea of doing a Jerry Springer kind of show. They should have combined that idea and been something like the host and booking agent for a trash talk show and having to contend with the crazy guests. That would be a tv show I would watch.

As far as Ru seeming checked out, I just think she's busy. Aren't they doing a movie or series about her life? I figure that's eating up a lot of her spare time. I think she loves the show, she's just distracted with a full plate, where as previous seasons it was really the only thing she was doing.

Easy Salmon Recipe posted:I can't believe the other girls let Alexis down like that. If you could please stop posting from my head, that would be great. I came to say everything you said, point by point. The only thing I'll add is it's very clear Alexis does not have imagination. Every look she had was basic as gently caress and a literal interpretation of the assignment. Rainbow? I have rainbow stripes everywhere! Unicorn? I'm a gold unicorn! Indian? Beaded corset and tribal print skirt! I mean, she didn't even have a necklace for the Indian look. A beaded, turquoise necklace would have been amazing as gently caress. A lot better than a bow on your head. I was gaga over Trinities cop look. Balls out amazing. I'm happy with final 4. Shea is gonna win it I think.

Final 4 all have to LSFYL, right? And I mean normally that hasn't been an issue, but what if the person is bad at it? I am worried about Sasha because most of what I've seen of her lip sync is very media driven avant garde. Can she do a traditional lip sync? I hope it isn't a Valentina repeat! Also, yes Andy McDowell has to be a witch because bitch hasn't aged since the 90s. She looked drat good!

Valentina doesn't admonish her fans for their behavior because she likes it. Adoring fans who will throw down for you? It makes you feel good, powerful. She's enjoying herself. I don't really know if that makes her a bad person.

Oh I completely agree. Call me naive but I wasn't expecting it from her. I follow her and other queens on IG but I don't pay attention to the comments so I didn't realize any of this was happening until this show. It's great filler drama until the finale drops.

I'm so happy with Sasha's win. She's been a favorite of mine since the promo photos were released. Her lip syncs were so amazing. Someone else said it, but I also was expecting her to rip off her dress and have a rose petal explosion. How come she wasn't crowned? They gave her the scepter, but Bob hung on to the crown and never put it on her head as she walked. Kind of weird.

Everyone being salty over Sasha winning over Shea can sit down. These lip syncs were not a surprise. They had a long time to practice and really turn it up. After all that we got basic dance and sing from Shea. It's disappointing. A trick, a ruveal, a SOMETHING always goes big with the crowd, and more importantly, with Ru. Shea didn't try. I don't know why she didn't. She brought generic bar room lip sync to the loving finale. Get out of here with that bullshit.

On IG, Sasha said she had something strapped to her thigh for a reveal in case she had to dance to Stronger. I wonder what it could have been. Roses in the wig was super awesome, even without the tease from the gloves.

Trig Discipline posted:Did we already have this Vox article about teenage fans of Drag Race in here? It's pretty good. From the article quote:After RuPaul’s keynote (the final event of the con), one 19-year-old girl summoned the courage to go up in front of hundreds of fellow fans and ask her idol, through so many sobs we could barely understand her, “How do you wake up in the morning and tell yourself you’re beautiful?” I choked up. Being a grown up I find this show so much fun and delightful. It didn't occur to me how much it would mean to a younger audience, queer or otherwise. I remember being that girl, trying to figure out how to express myself in the face of pressure to conform. I've never been traditionally pretty and even today it's sometimes a mystery to me how to find myself beautiful. Cheers to that girl and I hope she takes what Ru said to her to heart. RuPaul posted:I'm looking at you. You are beautiful.

I didn't watch untucked while I was watching season 8. I came back and binged all of them after season 9 and Thorgy, who I loved in 8, comes off so bad in Untucked. She very much reminded me of Alexis Michelle with the whole "why didn't you guys tell me I looked bad" thing. Also, she seems more fake when you listen to the stories Bob tells about Thorgy when they worked together at a regular job. Acid Betty was another person i loved who looked real bad in Untucked. She was so catty. Like when Kim Chi got the video from home from Trixie Mattel and Acid Betty was making fun if Trixie's makeup. Like, girl stop. This is a sweet moment for Kim and you're going to talk trash about who she's getting it from? Not even to mention that Trixie's makeup is iconic and completely her. She does it right. Ugh.
