Ru has been desperately trying to shoehorn a big queen into the crown for like 5 years now and every single time something ruins that plan and it'd be hilarious if it wasn't so frustrating.

Dahlia Sin reminds me of all these young girls who worked with me at my old job: Extremely recently out of school, where they were popular, and thus had an easy time of it. They think that being pretty is the ultimate goal in life, and that's the only goal they have in life. No personality beyond looks, aside from being way too overconfident. When something even slightly doesn't go their way, they get huffy and upset, because they're not used to any of their peers saying "no" without making it into some huge drama. Is that reading really deep into it? Yeah probably, but I've worked with so many girls who fit this exact description and Dahlia's body language and everything she said is near identical to how they act. Anyway Heidi was robbed, and if Aiden stays much longer that black pussycat wig is gonna have more screentime this season than Redacted.

I am here for this Sherry Pie edit where she is basically relegated to "so what are you doing?" and nothing else. Ross' pun game is insanity this week, I don't think I've ever heard him make more puns more rapidly. esperterra posted:I was more than happy with Gigi winning. Either her or Jaida were 100% the right pick. And then I watched the rest of the episode and jesus loving christ how was Aiden safe instead of bottom 2. In what way was that performance worthy of safe? Rock M didn't do good but the hair from that first look and the beat in general should have let her scrape by.

I've said it before and I'll say it until it stops being relevant: These comedy challenges need to be judged differently because the ESL queens are always at a disadvantage. Whether it's Puerto Rican queens with Spanish, Mercedes (oppalenz aside, the performance in that challenge wasn't super good) or Nicky this time with French. There's a buffering time that doesn't quite allow for quick witted improv/ad-libbing, AND it's a lot more difficult to understand a joke in another language, and even if you do understand it, it's hard to know where the emphasis needs to go, leading to weird deliveries. Either the challenges need to change to let that buffering time work, or these queens need softer grading than others. Now, granted, Nicky's bottom placement was deserved this time. She could have really played up the French baby schtick once it started getting laughs from Carson. Hell, go full "hon hon baguette eiffel tower" baby with mime paint and a beret, lord knows Ru loves a stereotype (not to mention emphasizing the juxtaposition with that french rear end baby and Widow's character) The scripted lines though, would still have been rough.

I love that they are still employing that shady rear end cameraman, zooming in on Aiden's contacts spinning out of alignment (they aren't toric????) I think they're giving [REDACTED] a limited amount of screentime per episode, and having a runway would have pushed her over. Ironically, a very lukewarm lipsync.  Though I am surprised Disney "our gay representation is an adlib blink-and-youll-miss-it singular voice line" Corporation let Drag Race of all things use their most iconic song of the last few decades.I am biased because Same Identity, but Gigi Goode for the crown, gently caress all these other hoes.

Jan absolutely should have won that. I figured out what bothers me the most about [REDACTED]'s makeup. It's a combo of the complete lack of depth in the paint (chubby faces have that issue but it is able to be overcome with proper contouring, which she hasn't done) and the construction paper-rear end lashes. Light hits that beat so much harsher than everyone else.

The problem with Gigi's ad was that the dry humor wasn't delivered in a way that made it obvious it was humor. The deliveries were clunky and oddly cadenced, with no change in facial expression. It was like a text to speech robot did it. There were quite a few jokes in there that I really liked tbh but it just...wasn't said funny. It's what her Sophia would have been if she was a failure in Snatch Game.

I'm watching Season 3 with a friend who hasn't seen anything prior to season 9 or 10, and there's a couple things that noticeably stand out at me. First off everyone is so loving bitchy and unafraid to be mean and nasty at other queens, I'd almost forgotten how rapidly they descended on Shangela and Mimi like sharks in the water. With the actual prize nowadays being the instant fanbase that comes with the show I don't think we'll ever see queens be outright mean again. It's also nuts seeing how much Ru seems to actually like, care about what's going on. I didn't realize how much I'd missed Mathu's hair and makeup on him, also. He has a real hairline that doesn't make it look like he's standing in front of a wig that's being puppeted from up in the rafters! This post brought to you by Absolut vodka.  I don't know where to find Untucked for these old seasons, so we're just watching the "best of" scenes that I can remember as the episodes would have come up, like Shangela's sugar daddy rant.

He's in the UK so all of Drag Race is on Netflix, but it doesn't have Untucked. (we're watching it via discord screen sharing) Once we get to season 7 we can watch it all on Youtube, since those are still uploaded on WOWPresents, so it's just 3-6 that I need to find.

Ru has been trying to push for a big queen win since season 7, and every single one of them has hosed it up somehow. I think Trev R.

My friend and I are making steady headway through the old seasons of drag race, we're about halfway through season 4 now and I'm starting to wonder: Outside of main episodes and the occasional iconic Untucked (it's kind of a pain to watch Untucked so we're not watching all of them) what extracurricular videos should we be watching? I know once we hit season 6's top 3 I'm gonna show him Mean Gays, and I am absolutely going to watch those Katya videos from season 7 (and UNHhhh, segmented into post season 7, post AS2, and post AS3) but I don't remember anything else off the top of my head that came out around the seasons and was relevant to the queens. I am reading him Willam's tweet about all the behind the scenes poo poo from Season 4 as the bits become relevant, also. EDIT: Kelly Mantle's "dont you know who i think i am" how could I forget about that one

I watched them when I went through the show a second time a few years back, and I'm not gonna lie I like the new Untucked format more. It feels less...manufactured somehow? It's a reality show so obviously it's still fake as hell a lot of the time, and I do miss the two rooms that let people talk poo poo without everyone hear it. All the constant fighting gets kind of tiring, also. Besides, I'm using a Hulu account that's shared between...9? people including myself and there are times where I just straight up can't watch it because of the screen limit lol.

I'm not gonna lie, I am unreasonably excited for Derrick. Morbidly curious to see if he's changed at all. Generally a lot of the differences in a queen's ability from their main season to All Stars can be attributed to the boost in income, notoriety, and consistent booking that getting a spot lands you, but Derrick arguably had all 3 of those beforehand? I'm also really interested in mariah because she was kinda fuckin' boring in season 3. Same with India.

Derrick is a celebrity impersonator, that's what he wants to do (and he does it fairly loving well) and given what drag is I don't know why they harp on him so much for it. (well, i do, but i'm still upset about it  ) He's never gonna do well on Drag Race, despite how much he seemingly seeks the validation from it.blizzardvizard posted:Also I suppose we're gonna get alternating bottom 2 and bottom 3 to prevent a tie situation? But that doesn't work when we're at 7 queens You know, it's the strangest thing! Not one tie across the whole season! Not even once!

She already doesn't do after-show meet and greets, etc, because she prioritizes putting on a good show for everyone in the audience over stressing her body out further to provide extras to a few.

My friend and I are still watching through Drag Race and we got to the Season 6 episode with the drag weddings. I haven't seen this episode in years, and I lived in Bumfuck Nowhere, Maryland the last time I saw it. Now I live in Rochester, NY, and I get to both understand Darienne Lake's drag name, and be upset that she named her drag daughter in this episode "Anne Drogyny" instead of "Cici Breeze"

There are 12 episodes of Season 7, and only 4 of them aren't team challenges.Now I remember why nobody liked this season. Also Drag Race Canada looks so good. The colors on the judge backdrop actually change!! That stage looks so good!!! Brooke Lynn is there and she is great! Maybe we'll actually get drag queen guest judges because Ru isn't there!

My friend and I have roped other people into watching older seasons of Drag Race with us, and we've had little mini viewing parties most nights the last few weeks and it's really nice. We just finished season 8, which I hadn't seen since the original airing and I forgot just how much Bob loving crushed it. Even my friends who hadn't really seen any Drag Race before this knew he was winning all the way back in Snatch Game. (which, to be fair, was pretty garbage) We're moving on to All Stars 2 next, and I'm very excited to watch their reactions to the LFYLegacy format. My one friend also really, really likes Alaska so watching him watching her win is gonna be fun.

Nihonniboku posted:The US series is so difficult to watch if you're not watching it live or buying a season pass that I thought at least I'd be able to watch it all in one place. We're about to run into this problem with All Stars in my group rewatch. UK Netflix has all the main seasons, but it doesn't have All Stars except for 4 and 5. US Hulu has All Stars 1 and 2, but not 3, 4, or 5. I have  of seasons 1-7, and all stars 1 and 2, but after that they are impossible to find anywhere.I legit don't know how we're going to watch All Stars 3. I haven't even thought about Canada yet but I'm sure that's going to be just as difficult once it's over. You'd think a cultural phenomenon like this would be readily available but alas.

Cracker probably knew that eliminating a front runner to get the crown would backfire and get her a lot of poo poo on social media. She doesn't have the confidence that Naomi had to weather that shitstorm, and also could probably see the writing on the wall from earlier in the series in regards to said fandom hate. Eliminating the weakest person was the only real option to her.

Season 6 didn't really have a villain in it, that slot was taken by Bianca and her "villain (with a heart of gold)" edit. Season 3's winner was a part of the Heathers clique, but it was more Delta who got the hard villain editing. There's no chance of villains winning post season 6, too much of the crown is fan response.
