It's weird because she reminds me very strongly of Thorgy, who I found pretty irritating. it absolutely owns that she's getting the proper platform and respect on a worldwide stage to show her stuff because good lord she deserves it in a massive way. She's contributed so drat much to the drag world and so few people even know about it! She was Tandi Iman Dupree's drag mother! Like, holy gently caress! My eyes popped out of my head when I heard that!

You can just skip the exterminations ya know. The show is incredible and shines a light on so many corners of drag and performers who give their lives to their art, and it’s so fun to watch. There are a couple of clunker episodes, but overall? Amazing. And the film they made in quarantine was a TREAT. eta: Tamisha oh my GOD. perfection. the escape goat fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Kandy needs to just shut the gently caress up. I have no idea what the judges see in her; she's the epitome of "loudmouth filler queen". Bummed Utica didn't take the win (seriously, sleeping bags?! I can't imagine working with those!), but Gottmik's middle look absolutely put her over the edge. The queen to watch, imo. Symone is rad, yet Gottmik has something indescribably perfect about her. Tamisha is absolute perfection. Not her looks, so much, but her energy and wisdom are so, so necessary to keep on the show. I'm hoping they don't set up a dramatic lipsync between her and Kandy but it's definitely looking that way.

Kandy's run on DR peaked with her hitting the boombox "play" and "pause" button to bookend the first lipsync and that is that.

I know that people love to say that Violet was the "only option" so far as a winner goes with the top 3 but it drives me up the wall that people completely disregard that she killed the competition from start to finish and never had to lipsync. Ginger's push was undeserved because "big girl". Kandy needs to gently caress right off, and we all know that. The producer's hand is kinda heavy on UK as well, but Lawrence is also deserving of every success she's ever had as well. spite house posted:Credit where it's due, Elliott turned the living gently caress out of that lipsync. I'd pay to see her, no lie.

I'm not trying to be an rear end in a top hat when I say this, but- Black girls did their hair in those beads all the time when I was growing up, Just an adorable wardrobe staple to the max. Assuming Olivia copied Kandy's (poorly) done hair for a challenge where the entire theme is beads and Olivia's was based on that is absurd. It's been said before, but Olivia is suffering from timing on these challenge, I can only imagine how hard she was bricking it when she saw Symone's boxer gig for the first challenge.

resting mitch face posted:Yes I grew up in the 80s too. Nobody said copied. Kandy’s bag look was shite but her hair was cute as gently caress and I was like holy poo poo. So it’s unfortunate that Olivia brought the same hair to be used a few episodes later. I’m glad she did decide to stick to the plan, however I believe any other queen would have been called out for not going with a backup after the 2nd coincidence. I made the mistake of going to reddit last night because I was bored and there are a bunch of maniacs over there saying it so that's exciting. a good reminder to neither touch nor even look at the poop.

I'm trying to not compare it to S13 but like... it's just so much better. The queens don't "produce" themselves. Only real downside is Ru and Michelle not really getting UK humor and trying to judge things that are uniquely British/Scottish and making a face about a lot of stuff. and idk why Kandy is getting the "big girl wins" edit when Lawrence Cheney is gonna legit earn it. I love her.

Watching UK season 1 since I’ve got my free week with wowpresents and Baga nearly throwing her toys out of the pram because of the mere possibility she would have to lipsync was the most pathetic poo poo. I somehow still don’t know who won so I’m excited but ffs, really hoping it ain’t her. That said, and I know I’ve said it already, but my god the UK show is better in nearly every way, and it seems like Ru and Michelle are actually having fun which is wild to see.

that is the most wasteful double shantay in history. side note uh I can't tell if the Russia bit was xenophobic or funny or what. I know drag is supposed to be subversive but it was oddly uncomfortable? otherwise I'm kinda shocked at how much I liked it.

I wonder how many times she practiced that shoulder pop in the mirror to make sure it would have the maximum effect on the runway (and I hope we get a behind the scenes video of her doing so; staring at the mirror with an intensity matching Alyssa Edwards).

Throwing a shitfit over the lineup was the most ridiculous drat thing. no girl, you didn't listen to the coaching and dug your own fuckin' grave. Tayce was so absolutely magnetic during that lipsync, every time the camera cut from her I got so drat fussy.

in my head I'll forever equate panto to an English wrestling promotion called RIPTIDE because they did a show called "Combat Panto" which is the first time I even heard the word, but I'm glad that I got a bit more education on the art from this episode. I'm yet again baffled that Ru is judging a UK competition while still having no fuckin' clue about anything from the UK istg angerbeet posted:Joe Black is such an amazing looking queen, she's just really really not a RPDR queen. Joe is like, the ultimate example of "incredible artist who simply isn't made for the weird ecosystem of Drag Race", but I'm so glad that Joe's got a larger platform due to their time on the show.

Symone looked like a crossdressing Crash Bandicoot and it was PERFECTION. can't help but chortle at Tina going home the one time she doesn't coat herself in those McDonald's-rear end colors, and my god how ego-crushing it must be to have your last look on the show be... that. Does Kandy have some dirt on someone somewhere? why is she so strongly protected?! this is just... insanity at this point. Gottmik, your looks are incredible every week, but please stop it with those gemstone pasties. This is what, the 4th time we've seen 'em? Bummed Rose's incredible "Jan is PRESSED" robe didn't get called out. In general I really did dig this episode and I feel like I'm gettin' fussy about Kandy every week (because I am) but like, drat, just extremely over it.

gandlethorpe posted:Personally, I was living for Utica's intense, somewhat creepy take on a ridiculous song. Tina took a more typical approach. And while I thought she started off strong, towards the end it felt kind of desperate and stunty. Utica was rather controlled the whole time. I feel ya; I prefer a controlled, deliberate lipsync over a desperate one every day. Part of why I loved every one of Tayce's performances in the UK season.

They also edited her comedy challenge to make it look like she did horribly, but its clear by the audience's reaction that she actually did a great job. still bullshit that they didn't kick her off the stage for going WAY over her time. such disrespectful poo poo to do that to her castmates and everyone else involved.

when was this season filmed? I don’t have a drat bit of sympathy for the eliminated queen after they (spoiler bars in case people heard about this mess) went to Puerto Vallarta in January when the situation in LA (where she lives) was so bad that they were RATIONING OXYGEN and so many people were dying that ambulances weren’t even able to get to a hospital without being queued up for hours. One would think that would be a good loving indication that the pandemic should be taken seriously but nope. When called out for that, she got REAL messy, saying poo poo like “if you want an apology, buy a cameo” and “I’m not responsible for covid, it’s the president’s fault, don’t be mad at me for this” I feel like nearly every Rudemption was an incredible step up, and drat near everyone was solid during the acting challenges. I wish Snatch Game was this episode though; it gives a great impression of where a queen actually is with creativity (and I love it, so.)

gandlethorpe posted:I definitely won't excuse or forget this, but she was far from the only queen behaving badly. She just doesn't happen to have the good will of being fan fave for it to blow over. If anyone has ire over this, they better match that energy towards other irresponsible queens, or otherwise treat her with the same amount of apathy I'm definitely not psyched on how the other queens I've heard about handled things, but Silky's flying off the handle, being wildly unapologetic, and tripling down on being a complete rear end in a top hat really put it over the top. Enjoying this season so much more than I'd expected, and at this point I'm almost already at the "don't wanna see any of them go home, poo poo!" phase
