Wow, some of these queens in boy drag are very attractive. Definitely a higher ratio than most US seasons.

Edit: Oh, interesting. I thought Brooke was going to be the host. Weird the "guest" each episode is actually the guest host.

It’s an interesting decision, but Brooke doesn’t yet have the ability to make those lines sound natural. IMO they should have used Jeffrey more, he seemed the most comfortable.

Jeffrey definitely is the strongest of the three, they just needed to pull back on the zoom during his Main Challenge descriptions.

Watched DRCAN! Impressions:

- Kyne is the most unimpressive and loudest. Huge turnoff, hope she fixes it
- Love Starzy's speech mannerisms, gives me the ballroom swish that Vivacious had
- I really dig Jimbo's vibe!
- Rita Baga cloaking Juice Boxx with her outfit when she was struggling was wholesome af
- I would've chosen Kiara as a winner or at least top, because she reminds me of Naomi's Wizard of Oz scarecow look
- Everyone seems pretty okay, interested to see how this goes.
- I can't hear that Carly Rae Jepsen song without thinking about that Vine of the girl bopping to that song and pointing to her cat over and over again
- The closed captions all say "word" instead of "work" and boy howdy does that bother me

Wow, I missed Brooke Lynn! Also on WoW Presents Plus it's listed as having two seasons, so I'm not sure what that's about...

I'm also liking this! It's refreshing in that it feels new and without the strict expectations of normal drag race. (Though we'll see next week how the challenge writing is.)
I think it's a tiny bit awkward that Brooklyn has just hopscotched straight into judge, she really doesn't know how to have a casual stage presence at this point. Also this very likely means she'll never return for All Stars which is a tragedy, she made for excellent TV. Overall the judging team feels a bit.... awkward. It's two handsome gays and two models. I'm legit curious why they were chosen. Was Ru too busy fracking off to do Canada?

So far I'm liking the breadth of queens but I'm a bit disappointed we don't have a hard Newfie accent in the mix eh! I don't imagine their area has a ton of drag queens but STILL

As much as I'm loving that they're doing Canadian History Moments next week I'm also a little bit SLOW DOWN you burned through like 12 hard Canadaisms last week, let's pretend we're going to have more than two seasons here! Most of those boxes could have been a challenge alone

A few notes on the judging:

- What on earth was potato dress doing in top 3, I am actually baffled
- As much as I think that the rainbow dress queen is neat, that dress was a solid safe when there was poo poo like the scarecrow outfit in the mix
- The gold jumpsuit was honestly pretty impressive, but putting all the balls at the bottom like that was an obvious and considerable problem. If she just shut her idiot mouth and accepted the criticism with a like "yeah I thought it looked good in the moment but obviously not so great in execution!" that would have flown so much better. I'm iffy on it, but there were a few uggo outfits in there that could have changed out for hers.


It was really nice to have a perfectly standard and solid first episode! And weird to be like I KNOW ALL OF THESE REFERENCES

https://screenrant.com/rupauls-drag-race-deletes-twitter-wipes-out-instagram/

quote:

RuPaul's Drag Race host, judge and executive producer RuPaul Charles has deleted his Twitter account and wiped out his Instagram profile, following a three-month social media hiatus during which he was criticized for not using his platform to spread awareness of the Black Lives Matter movement. Judging from his drag persona, it may seem to some that RuPaul is an extrovert who uses a lot of social media. However, RuPaul is quite different from his drag character, often describing himself as an introvert who does not even have social media apps on his smartphone.

Something coming out.....

They really went out of their way to make sure everyone knew this was NOT Brook Lynn Hytes’ Drag Race.

I’m glad Lemon stayed. Her confessionals looked mighty teary-eyed, but she seems like she’s fun. Jimbo is probably going to stick around and annoy me for most of the season.

Trying to decide which Alanis Morissette song I want to see in a lip sync. Or Bare Naked Ladies?

SHEA'S SNATCH GAME CHOICE I'M DEAD

That was some of the best Snatch Game that we've ever seen. Alexis, Juju, Shea, phenomenal. Alexis did better than her iconic pregnant lesbian Alicia Keys.

Also, Team India or Team Alexis?

I think it's probably a little of both. I'm usually not someone who buys into that adage of, "There's three sides to every story..." I think that far too often one party is lying, or misremembering, and that it's quite likely that the other party is telling the truth, and if you were to take a little bit of A, and a little bit of B, you come up with a falsehood. But I think that the adage applies here, and that they were both lying.

I think what probably happened was Alexis and Mayhem did broach the topic of voting out Shea because they saw her as competition. But I don't think it was some major conspiracy, they never actively tried to get the numbers. Maybe Alexis just thought that since she, Alexis, and India had that season 3 connection, and she floated the idea with her.

And I think that India knows that it wasn't some active campaign. I think that this was just India's last ditch effort to stay in the game, and she didn't mind throwing Alexis under the bus to do so. And I think that Alexis couldn't just admit to what happened because what India was saying was partially true. So the only thing she could do was accuse India of being a liar.

I believe India only because we've seen Alexis be strategic and manipulative for three seasons. I'd agree that India probably amped up the drama.

Great episode, overall. Loved Alexis, Juju, and Shea.

But also, just crown Shea already.

That near-kiss between Ru and Jeffrey made me actively homophobic.

I'm not a Shea-stan but she deserves the world (or at the very least a week in France) for Snatch Game.

Once again, Juju's talking heads are my favorite thing ever.

Lastly, DRCAN is a loving cute good time. Jimbo for the crown, but I don't hate anyone ... yet.

Regarding the midseason twist, idk. I think it'd be more interesting if the queen who won could be booted by democracy. :devil:

edit: Watching Untucked, I wonder how big of a surprise the assassin really was, because ... that voice DO carry.
