Are enough people watching Drag Race Thailand to warrant a separate thread? Seems better than black bars all over the place here, if it's an option.

Did they ever end up getting a take where Darienne said that line correctly? What even was the full line? Big girl walking down the dirty street, something something sturdy feet? fake edit: according to some lyrics sites, her verse is quote:Big girl, why you all in bare feet Oof. That first line doesn't scan at all.

I wish they'd get away from the lip-sync musical format. It feels like they're trying to relive season 6's Shade: The Rusical* without having to cast good singers, but even the mediocre-to-bad singers turned in a better performance than the painfully awkward lip-syncs we've gotten out of the other musicals. Just make 'em sing. Alternatively, skew toward dancing and do something like season 5's Black Swan: Why It Gotta Be Black? *Adore should have won that challenge.

garthoneeye posted:Adore's the better singer, but Courtney had the ingénue/Broadway characterization perfect which pulled her ahead. Alright, that's fair. I think it always chapped me a little that Drag Race tried so hard to make it seem like an even match-up in singing ability, despite the fact that Courtney's initial out-of-drag Idol audition got her nowhere.

cis autodrag posted:Unpack that a little? Lucian is probably mentally ill and prone to twitter meltdowns. Santino's Twitter feed is mostly capslock raw veganism and new-age word salad. I've listened to almost none of What's the Tee, but I've heard that a recurring theme is whatever magical thinking Michelle is into that week. Edit: I would watch a challenge involving queens dramatically reading Santino's Twitter feed.

Re: face dots, I was all set to ask how often Sasha Velour skipped the unibrow, but on review she varies her brow a fair amount while keeping it recognizably her style. "Dots" is a broad enough idea that Dusty can probably do the same.

Fresh Like Zafo posted:I would love it if they have p'Art and p'PanPan on a future season of Drag Race. Only because I want Pangina to scream FIGHT FOR IT when two queens are lip syncing. Her being that into it gets me every time. SAME, but lol if anyone thinks Ru is going to have anyone else in drag as a judge, let alone someone as fierce as Art or Pangina.

esperterra posted: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. If she ever actually spelled that out, it's news to me. Going by Todrick's stint as a judge, queens in boy drag seem to be fine, at least.

Propaganda Machine posted:I've never rewatached it and I love Manila, but Raja kind of had it in the bag. She had the sort of daring, dramatic, polished look that Ru gags over. The Heathers were a bit nasty, but it's that thing where reality television villains of old sometimes look downright cute by today's standards. Edited my post for clarity. I meant the win on that interview episode where she did the Asian caricature. The season definitely belonged to Raja, though I think she'd get some blowback about appropriation for some of those looks now.

shadow puppet of a posted:That reminds me, how did JaJa's blackface Nicki Minaj get a free pass in here and elsewhere? Oof, I didn't notice it at the time, but I see it now that you mention it. If we want to give out free passes, there's the spiel about blackface not having the same baggage elsewhere that it has here. I'm more willing to buy that in this case than I am when people trot it out to justify Zwarte Piet costumes, at least.

I'd actually like to see RuPaul be the 10th queen and compete in her own competition. Maybe replace her as judge with winners from past seasons. Again, it'll never happen but it's fun to imagine. Ru has been very clear that only Judy can judge her

Jr. posted:Rumposting got me in trouble last time, but I'm better now, I swear. Yeah, Drag Race Thailand. It's got two hosts who are both pretty great. The unofficial subs included a lot of notes to explain everything from Thai customs to local celebrities to hard-to-translate wordplay. I haven't seen the official subs, so I don't know if as much effort went into them.

warez posted:There was a fantastic article by Rich Juzwiak titled “The Tao of Ru” where he spent a week with her that talked about it in more detail but it’s been scrubbed from the web I think I haven't found the article yet, but these bits that didn't make it into the article are still out there. In 2012 RuPaul Charles posted:"[Cameras] don't allow me to be really uninhibited and have a good time. I have to think about, 'Oh, this poo poo's gonna end up on YouTube.' It's crazy. Like the Michael Richards thing. He was in a fuckin' comedy club. If people heard some of the things I say in the right setting... I say everything, because it's all bullshit. People take things too loving seriously. If you get offended by bullshit, what you're offended by is the least of your problems."

Even if her plan had worked perfectly, it would have been completely underwhelming. Dunno what she was thinking, but she did a pretty great job at damage control afterwards, at least.

I haven't done a deep dive, but other suggested etymologies include
