I'm actually coming around on Scarlet Envy, she's kind of charming in a slightly off-kilter kinda way. The Tammie comparison someone made earlier was apt.
From the first Meet The Queens video all I could think was "This is Milk meets Tammie Brown" and honestly that opinion hasn't changed after the first episode.

A'Keria's giving me Good At Drag Race. I don't think she's gonna get intimidated or rattled, seems like a grownup.

Yvie and Adore oh my goddddddddd why wasn't there more of them?

These are some justifying-rear end bitches. Watching everyone stammer excuses on the main stage made me flash on Tim Gunn barking "DO NOT DEFEND THE SHOE TO ME". This show has been on the air since the Cambrian explosion, people, have we really not figured out that we are not to defend the metaphorical shoe to Ru? Jesus.

Soju makes a living reviewing Drag Race and thought "what if I intentionally do a formless mound of tulle, but Korean" would fly

Sewing an actual hanbok would have been a piece of cake, too. They take basically no fitting and I found half a dozen YouTube how-tos with one indifferent Google. Come on, now.

Yeah, me three. My husband was like "Jesus they've had a hard life".

I feel sorry for Soju, she's seems like Sasha Belle - they both were super fans who somehow knew nothing about the show and made astoundingly basic mistakes you could see coming from outer space. Plus both were not really ready enough for the show, they needed more time to learn their craft perhaps. Sometimes I think they choose "filler" queens they know are going home early so you don't feel bad for a really great queen getting the boot in the first few weeks.

Echoing everyone that said a) they loved Brooklyn Heights b) they hated Silky being obnoxious and c) they were disappointed by Scarlet Envy's entrance look and attitude.

I gotta be honest I just want them to bring Vanjie in as a commentator because I love her more every time she opens her mouth :allears:

RPDR Season 11: "They're not even stuffed!" (alternatively RPDR Season 11: "That dress looks like a rare blood disease")

Is it just me or were there a lot of goddamn leotards on that runway? I agree with Michelle, they're unimaginative as gently caress. At least Soju tried something and failed instead of slapping some poo poo on a bodysuit.

Apparently I am extremely tired of leotards on Drag Race.

RIP Soju, I really wanted you to go further :smith:

My favourite part of the premiere was the perspective from the other queens thinking Silky was attacking a producer when she saw through Miley's disguise.

I'm workin on it on my end at least!

Also count me in on team Scarlet, I love a weird queen and she's got the very genuinely odd and a bit off kilter thing down...probably because it's not an act but heeeeeey.

Plastique is a close second.

Scarlet is weird. In that she looks like Pearl done up like a boy and then slapping on a dress.

Also triple echo for Silky being too much, Scarlet's look looking like it shrank in the wash, but I can't say the same for everyone's swoon for Brook Lynne. She didn't really knock my socks off.

Adore and Yvie are marvelous

that was an analogy that I am now embarrassed to make because it's like the dorkiest thing I might ever say. JNT is john nathan-turner, a producer of old doctor who in the 80s. he relied a lot on camp & bringing back old characters for publicity.

it's my way of saying: the show has now collapsed in on itself. having both challenges in the first episode be about old queens is just sad. but at least we still have drag race thailand.

Yeah that was a great bit. but having a photoshoot with all the returning queens and then having to make an outfit out of whatever fabric some pa thought matched past queen's themes is weak weak sauce.

Did I misread all the signs?
I realize drag dynasties and houses have been a thing for a good while, but it's getting so incestuous that I don't genuinely remember some queens' names. Was that Honey Kardashian Michaels or Trinity Davenport O'Hara... well, maybe if I just wait a few weeks they'll be gone and I won't have to remember.
