She could have clapped back at Carmen without bringing her transness into it. e: still a bianca fan, too, and i'd hate if people assumed I have an issue with trans people because of it.

With how messy RPDR fans can be, especially the younger and straighter ones, I don't blame you lol. The fandom for this show is a mixed bag and like 70% of that bag is terrible these days.

I like the lip sync musical challenges in theory, but only Glamazonian Airways and Bitch Perfect were any good in terms of the songs not being embarrassingly bad. As for last night's episode!! Goddamn this season is good! I'm loving all of the girls, and I was really starting to love Kalorie for her werkroom interactions this week, but I'm not surprised to see her be second out. Eureka was a bit insufferable with her pity party but I get where she was coming from. I get why people are tired of her. I don't get people thinking her lip sync was bad, though. She rocked that poo poo and gave me all sorts of emotion. Lackluster LSFYL overall but mostly because Kalorie wasn't very good-- or at least what the cameras showed us of Kalorie wasn't very good. I thought Eureka did loving great though and was the clear winner. Love love loving The Vixen. I love that she's a messy ho out for drama but she's also been super sweet and supportive to the other queens and a shoulder to cry on. Like she's that sister who loves everyone but still wants THE FACTS when it comes to drama. Her wanting to mess with Aquaria to amuse herself was also kind of delightful, I like her a lot. Her winning the main challenge wouldn't have been my first choice, but I can see why she won it. She was good in the performance-- though not as good as Kameron or Blair, when it came to her team-- and her runway was gorgeous, but it definitely gave me Disastah teas. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't so close to AS3 and we just saw Aja's rudemption look for that. But I can't blame The Vixen for wearing it considering the seasons were filmed back to back and she would have had no idea. That said she wasn't the best looking girl on the runway or the best girl in the challenge, but she performed well in both and was team leader for a group that ended up working super well and cohesively together, there wasn't really a weak link among them and they all played off eachother well. I can see her getting bonus points and the win for that. A queen who was team leader has been in the bottom before when she wasn't the worst so I'm fine with a queen who was a team leader winning when she wasn't necessarily the best. The runway this week was kind of a mess. I loved them springing Best Drag on the queens in episode loving two, but it was clear nobody wanted to actually bust out their best drag so early. And some tea from Vanessa at a viewing party says the category may have actually been 'Trademark Drag' when given to the girls, which would make sense for the looks they were serving. But standouts there for me would be Mayhem, Aquaria, Blair, Dusty, Monique, Cracker and Kameron. Yuhua and Asia looked really good, too, but I liked the girls listed before them better for this runway. Of all of those looks I listed, though, none of them said best drag to me. If the tea about it being trademark drag is true then these looks make a lot more sense. Still too many bodysuits, though. Asia is me re: Monet's loving sponge dress. Also re: Kameron and sleeves, I don't think she's a muscle queen in the sense one would think when saying muscle queen, so I don't get the complaints. Her whole schtick (from what I can tell) is putting super feminine outfits on her hard, sexy man body so I can understand why she isn't showing off her muscles constantly. Padma was a loving excellent guest judge and I want her back, and I was surprised how good Halsey was, as well, and I wouldn't mind at all if she came back in the future as well. Her little moments with Michelle were also adorable. loving loving this season so far. Feels way more like the show I'm madly in love with of seasons 1-6. I still loved the show in seasons 7-9 but it was definitely missing something. I don't know what the gently caress was up with the editing of the past few seasons to have so little of what we're seeing now: werkroom Ru, the girls actually preparing for the challenge, mini challenges etc. With 90 minutes we're suddenly getting all the things that the show used to be able to edit into 40. It's weird. I'm happy we're getting it, but it's weird, and I wonder if it will stay this way next season. I imagine the 90 minute runtime is due to this being a milestone season and we'll be back to 40 next year. Here's hoping they keep the flow of the episodes back to this/the oldschool style. Please replace Todrick with Alyssa Edwards every loving year. Watching her coach was so good and it makes me even saltier it's taking so long for her Beyond Belief show to drop. She was constructive and helpful while still being critical, and all wrapped in that Alyssa energy and making the girls feel good and not like poo poo if they got stuff wrong. loving amazing coach. e: Kameron surprised the hell out of me this episode and I hope if she ever hits bottom two she ends up being a lip sync assassin. Her performance was great. Blair was a standout to me, too, despite her fumbling a lot of the choreography she made it work and embodied her character. These two queens are super quiet but imo they are definitely real competition for this season. e2: Aquaria and Dusty were the best parts of their team in terms of both challenge and runway. Yuhua was better than Aquaria in the performance, though. But Dusty was definitely the standout there. e3: srsly though the vixen is so great. she reminds me a lot of bianca (in terms of personality, because even though she did well this episode she is no bianca in terms of performance, that's for sure), but turned up to 11 and actually seeking drama instead of just being shady. esperterra fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Mar 30, 2018 |

See me with them arms Kameron Kameron is giving a bit of Priscilla Queen of the Desert to me for some reason, but i can't decide if it's Guy Pearce or Hugo Weaving. Yeah, it's a shame they were stuck on the losing team. I agree with Dusty that she may well have won the whole challenge if her team hadn't lost. e: also fair re: kameron and his sexy arms

I feel weird saying Yuhua is or isn't trans without some kind of confirmation, though I wouldn't be surprised if she were trans (or if she were just a super femme guy!) So I did a little google-fu and it looks like at a red carpet event or smth for the premiere she mentioned she identifies as neither cis nor trans and is gender neutral. quote:“Drag is whatever you want to be and anybody should have the ability to have fun, be free, and play with drag because drag is for everybody,” Yuhua said. “I’m not trans or cisgender, I identify as gender neutral and I got on the show. So drag is for everybody and I’m here to represent that community.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/drag-race-queens-sound-off-on-rupaul-and-trans-performers-drag-is-for-everybody

I don't think the producers ever forced people not to take their hormones, but the potential/threat of not being accepted to compete or being kicked out had a lot of girls in the past stop taking their hormones for a few weeks while they competed, which loving sucks and I really, really hope that never happens again. Has Peppermint ever said anything about if she was allowed to take her hormones while filming?

It's tough rn but if I had to pick a top four I'd pick Yuhua, Mayhem, one of the twins probably, and ... gently caress idk I could go Monique, Blair, or hell Dusty after this week. Super strong cast so far so I expect my picks that aren't Yuhua and Mayhem to change a lot.

Raere posted:Dusty was at a crossroads this episode. He could've continued to do his stupid dots all over his face to spite Michelle because it's his "signature look" or he could adapt. He chose the latter which is what the show's all about. Not even that, he found a good middle ground where he had small dots that were very Dusty around the eyes, but not super noticable to Michelle, and the only dot really on his face could pass as a beauty mark. I commend the hell out of that decision esp if the tea about the category actually being 'trademark drag' is true, no wonder he was fussing over whether he should do the dots again after Michelle dragged him the first week.

I think it's been stated at some point that Ru or WOW don't want to have any other queens at the judging table, even out of drag. I feel like that's the only plausible reason Lady Bunny has never judged an episode. You'd think she would have done a bunch of them by now if there wasn't an unspoken (but I think spoken at some point) rule about Ru being the only drag queen at the table.

# ¿ Apr 4, 2018 07:52 |

I said I felt!!!! But yeah I looked it up and lol must have misremembered, there's been no official announcement. Certainly seems like an unspoken rule after 12 seasons with no other queen ever judging, though. Also re: Bunny and Drag U I always heard she was offered a spot on RPDR proper but turned it down(probably because she didn't want to judge other queens, yeah), which is why she ended up doing Drag U later.

Kameron's look was a loving SHOOT. I liked most of the runways this episode, though some were waaaaaay weaker than others. The challenge was fun and had a good balance of actually funny, hilariously bad, as well as cringe inducing. The hallmark of a solid acting challenge imho. That Buttrface app, though, was loving dumb and the fibstr girls could have done something more interesting than what they decided on. Buttrface at least gave us the glory of Asia O'Hara mugging for the camera and the pitt crew dude jacking off Aquaria's Pinocchio nose. Fibstr gave me p much nothing. Dusty was fine, but not enough to elevate it. Also, Aquaria asking if Yuhua was having her Doo Wah moment was p cute. Aquaria is weird. When I like her, I like her a lot but 80% of the time I think she's annoying or being a twat. She's not nearly charming nor thick skinned enough to be so bitchy. Sad to see Yuhua go, I was stanning for her hard, go but it was definitely her week, she 100% did the worst of the queens in the challenge and the runway. I would have been sad to see either of them go, but I'm a little less sad it was Yuhua even if she was one of my top picks in episode 1. I'm not sure yet if Mayhem can bring it hard enough to be funny, I can't see comedy out of her like the rest of these queens and we still have Snatch Game, if she makes it that far. But after that LSFYL I would not be surprised if she hits the bottom a few more times but still scrapes her way to top 4. That poo poo was lit. This is a super strong cast and I am going to be upset every week, probably. Aquaria is the queen I'm the least attached to now, but I still kinda dig what she's bringing. My favourite queens as of this week are Blair, Monique, Vixen, Mayhem and my elephant queen, goddamnit. Asia has been a loving delight, and when Cracker hits she's great, but she missed more than hit this week imo. I've been enjoying Dusty all around, but she hasn't really stood out the way the other queens have to me. Kameron may be quiet but her runways have been overall really interesting, while I've only really loved the one Dusty did that was inspired by that avant garde doll. That fuckin tweety bird look btw, goddamn. It was super close between Asia and Blair in the challenge, Blair with a foot up maybe for directing her team so well, and having more material to work with than Asia did, but that runway sealed the fuckin deal and was amazing. Blair's was good from far away but looked unfinished when you kept your eyes on it. Asia knocked it out of the park. also lol we finally have a batch of queens to make single-room Untucked not boring. Did anyone else hear Eureka get really excited from the back when Asia won that gift certificate or w/e to D'lish or something?? lmao e: i just realized I completely forgot to mention Monet so maybe she's the queen I'm the least interested in right now??? but I still like her lmao she's just not stood out other than the voguing/walking challenge ep1 imo e2: plus she bequeathed upon us the sponge blot e3: oh courtney love was really fun and i am so glad they went with celebrity skin, i had been hoping for it the most esperterra fucked around with this message at 09:45 on Apr 6, 2018 |
