Oh man, Blair. A lot of emotional moments on this show feel really contrived or like producer meddling

Yeah the episode literally started with Blair doing a piece to camera about how he's feeling pretty secure and is just so happy to be on the show. I'd had the LSFYL results spoiled for me before I watched which made stuff like that stand out a lot more.

Holy crap, as soon as they did the "Who should go home?" segment I knew that Untucked was going to be wild and The Vixen sure didn't disappoint.

I lost my poo poo when Monet told Kameron everyone onstage had said her and she bought it with no hesitation because of the sincerity of the delivery (and some insecurity issues probs). Full on Latrice laugh.

Ha, I had the opposite reaction and went "Aw no :ohdear:"

e: also i love how eureka was like the one girl to not name the vixen but still got the brunt of her anger lmfao

She really genuinely can't understand why Eureka keeps getting praise when she keeps getting critiqued and then got "tossed under the Greyhound" and it shortcircuits her brain.

Accusing someone of being "unprofessional" because they were drawing focus in the Snatch Game (or any time they're on stage, really) is crazy talk, especially when they were getting laughs when they did it.

If you think Eureka was obnoxious and a scene stealer as Honey Boo Boo then I guess it's a good thing she didn't do Divine as she originally planned ... :v:

Also I was pleasantly surprised that Kameron played Chyna the wrestler and didn't mention her weird sex tapes but I guess if Whitney Houston's drug problems were off the board then a similar level of restraint applies to other dead celebrities.

Dunno why everyone was so down on Asia's fish mask. Sure the painting on it wasn't perfect but it was creative as hell among all these little mermaids.

It was a really gutsy move but it was also just an off-the-shelf Halloween mask painted in splotchy dayglo colours that clashed with the rest of her outfit and she didn't apply any matching bodypaint to any of her visible skin so it was a really incomplete look. That cheap wig also wasn't doing her any favours.



If she'd cut the chin section off so she could emote with her mouth more, done a better job on the paint work and chosen a better wig it could have looked awesome. Mermaid FX makeup is pretty popular among amateur costumers so there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of photos on google that show what's possible.

Asia's runway was something else. From the neck up, I liked the idea but... maybe she should have watched some Nina Bo'Nina videos on the youtube.

Yeah Nina does some really crazy stuff but she also makes sure that you can recognise her under the makeup, she has a really personalized aesthetic which she brings to everything she does and allows her to shine through which is actually really difficult when you're covering your entire face with paint and prosthetics. Asia got totally lost underneath that mask.

Phi Phi O'Hara is also really good at combining Halloween/cosplay looks with the drag aesthetic

I have a mad crush on Todrick but oof if he hasn't done some choreos where he gives certain people the star treatment and everyone else just gets a "iunno, what've you got?"

That said, that's probably just an editing thing; if you're a choreographer and you're not asking what your dancers can do, you're not good at your job. It does show on stage though, in the early parts of the season choreos when there's still like 200 contestants, that he doesn't give everyone the same level of focus.

I dunno - it's probably just editing because I love that fuckin man and I'd absolutely be putting Aquaria to shame flirting if I was working with him.

Yeah there'd be an entire day's worth of choreography which the editors cut down to about 5 min total for the show and they very deliberately pick the 1% of footage that tells the narrative they want and the other 99% gets left on the cutting room floor. Also Todrick is a professional choreographer trying to make non-professional dancers look as good as the possibly can but also arranging all the backup dancers to complement them as much as possible but at the same time never overshadow them or show up their skills. That has to be pretty difficult.

When Ru was arguing with Asia about The Vixen and said "I have been discriminated against by white people for being black, by black people for being gay, from gay people for being too femme" I was really hoping someone would say "The Vixen has also been abandoned by all those groups .... but now she's been abandoned by the drag community as well."

edit: Oh through science and engineering, not like every time.

Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, savoy, kohlrabi and several other vegetables are all cultivars of Brassica oleracea and are pretty much the same plant except for appearances, sort of like how all dog breeds are descended from wolves.

They also bring out new cultivars every now and then such as broccoflower and broccolini. I spotted another new one for sale in a nursery last week but I can't remember the name of it.

Wait until the new episode when they challenge people to make a dress out of a tent and she just cuts a hole in the top and wears it.

I agree but her final sign off of "I really hope some of you liked me. We are travesties, and we are beautiful" won me over. I wish we'd seen a little more of that rawness and that honesty before then. On the other hand when you're going up against competitive queens like Alexis and Muffy and Pagan (who put a ton of thought and effort into their runway looks) and super charismatic queens like Vajay J who is a natural performer and really pretty queens like O'Laysia who are going to look amazing whatever they wear I can totally understand why Kevvie was constantly doing pratfalls and dressing as kooky as possible.

I also get the feeling that a bunch of the queens went "Oh a youtube series, that'll be a bit of fun" but Alexis went "Oh hey a chance to do an extended audition for RP's Drag Race MAXIMUM EFFORT!!!" because holy smokes, the difference in effort and quality between the runway looks is a bit crazy.

In a weird move, the youtube series Camp Wannakiki has posted a bonus video for episode 5 showing the costumes and performances the eliminated queens would have presented for this challenge if they were still in the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwGX44WWr5c

On the one hand it's great that all that prep work they did for this episode actually got seen, on the other hand it breaks kayfabe and pretty much destroys the illusion of "eliminated queens get sent home" which underpins the whole show.

Camp wannakiki is super good despite the production levels being sub-community tv station garbage

Yeah I love the show too and I get the feeling it'll be a whole lot better in season 2 after they iron out some of the first season kinks.

They made a few weird production decisions, like having the contestants wear exactly the same clothes during all the camp challenges right down to the wigs and makeup. Having the bottom two contestants quietly standing right behind the top two contestants and looking all :( while the judges shower the winners with compliments is also a little odd but it seems like they had to film the second half of every episode in someone's garage which obviously causes major staging issues.

I also wish they'd include at least some 'werkroom' footage of the queens just shooting the poo poo instead of having them in characters the entire season apart from a very very short interview immediately after they've been eliminated. That brief glimpse we got of Olaysia in ep 5 without the airhead stage persona showed a whole different side that we never got to see. The same with Kevvie.

I guess part of the problem is that I'm inevitably comparing it to RP's Drag Race and that show has some really, really talented people behind the scenes who have had an entire decade to figure out how to make it look slick as hell.

It wasn't super obvious that they filmed all the camp challenges on the same afternoon?

Yeah of course, but they could have at least let them change up their looks between each 'episode' so it wasn't so blatantly obvious.

I'm guessing they filmed the talent show challenges over a few weeks and then got everyone back together when they had access to the camp for a day to shoot all the outdoors footage after they knew who'd be eliminated in each episode, which pretty much explains why a lot of the queens put in completely half-assed attempts at some of the camp challenges :v:
