Regarding AS5: The fact that production gave Neutron Dance to Alyssa and Fancy to Kennedy keeps me awake at night. Swap them!

Drag race down under s2e2: "I feel sorry for anyone who has to watch this poo poo" is definitely the most honest take on a RuPaul acting challenge.

That was one of the worst of those scripted acting challenges in a long time too, bf is usually in the bag for those but was just stone-faced about this one.

Yip Yip, bitch.
I don’t mind the acting challenges where the queens can write their own material or improv it to some extent. The producer scripted ones are always hot steaming garbage, and the people directing are usually entirely too hung up on specific words to an extent that’s annoying considering that the queens had all of five minutes with the script.

Remember Kandy Who on season 7? With the weird Merle Ginsberg challenge? “Mother does not play.” “That.”

Jesus gently caress the whole drat challenge was a confusing mess, and you’re here harping on a word that doesn’t really change the meaning anyway. loving droppppp it.

I though Kaos won that lip synch on Canada's drag race but whatever. But is was good to see Jimbo as a judge.

Also kinda related my straight white male friend sent me pictures for seeing RP Drag race live. I won't go to a place filled with that many people (Covid).

I've always marveled at how terrible the scripted challenges are, but the other day I watched the A&E Biography episode of Rupaul from 2001, and they showed clips from his VH1 show, and drat, that show included the very same type of terrible scripted sketches starring Ru and Michelle. They were just as terrible as the ones from Drag Race.

if anything my biggest fault with that last episode was them having Lucy Lawless on as a judge, someone who spent seasons upon seasons doing nothing but adding fun and authenticity to absolute schlock, and then gave her like 4 words to say the entire time

I just put on Episode 2 (S2) of Down Under and Lucy Lawless (Xena) is going to be a guest judge - I really don't care what any of the queens do at the moment I just want to see Lucy Lawless.

Edit: just do add my aunt once bought me a Chakram and for my last birthday my husband bought me a Xena t-shirt.

Yeah it didn't do Lucy any compliments but I was still happy to see her. I tried to watch her newer show "Murder is my Life" or something like that but it wasn't for me. She is better in shows that Sam Raimi or Robert Tapert (her husband0 directs/produces as like an action show. She was great in the tv show Ash vs. Evil Dead.

Yes it is an affront to peanuts because peanuts harm no one - Especially the honey roasted kind. Because they are tasty. Maybe she meant the dollar store lightly salted dry roasted kind that are always stale.

Just got to thinking, we've had a lot of queens for Puerto Rico, but I don't think we've had any from any other US territory. I wonder what's the gay scene in like, Guam, the Marshall Islands, The US Virgin Islands, or Saipan?

I know this is too late for any live-watching, but just in case you didn't know (like I didn't), T-Mobile gives a year's subscription to Paramount+ with an account with them. It's ad-tier, but I'm sure it's still good.

Also, this may be just me, but I'm so excited! Drag Race Mexico is happening! They're casting as we speak. I've been watching España as a substitute, and it's nice and all, but it'll be nice to see Mexico and recognize things.

I bought paramount plus ad free the first year it was out, because it was $50 for the year. The app was hot steaming garbage and I hated it. Oh, and they played ads for other shows on paramount+ even though it was supposedly ad free. Cancelled it as fast as possible.

since last year and as6 bf and i have just been getting it for the exclusive all stars season and pretty much watching everything good on offer while we have it, it's worked pretty well for these two years though he uses it a lot more than I do.

We just use it through amazon prime's channel thingy though because the app was indeed one of the only apps I've seen be coded worse than hbomax.

CDR3: I think that runway theme was a little too high minded for the show. On one hand you literally had "I'm gonna wear bones" for Calcium and "I'm wearing some crap and calling it Salt" and on the other hand Lady Boom Boom is wearing a water-cooling setup and Gisele has Cesium crystals on her shoulders that no one noticed.

yeah the only three who even sort of delivered on the assignment were the top three, the cesium crystals, the use of arsenic as a dye, and the silly pun for yellow cake and also the cute 50's housewife radiation dress

also lmao at boom boom by all visual accounts just using real rear end bromine in her weird pc cooler setup and then lip syncing in it, come thru toxic inhalant

Drag Race has officially been renewed for a 15th season. Although, given that season 15 has already filmed, along with All Stars 8, not sure why they needed to announce it like this.

And apparently season 2 of Celebrity Drag Race premiered on Friday. I completely missed that.

The set and lighting design is bonkers in celeb DR2. Like why can’t they do this for normal drag race?

I do miss the transformation process that the first season gave us but whatever, I’ll watch this.

I would have liked more banter, but I imagine we'll get more of that as celebrities are sent home.

And unlike the first season, I actually know who all of the celebrities are (I looked it up), although I recognized none of them in drag.

According to spoilers, not only is the set and lighting better but all of the lip sync song choices are big money banger songs as well.

Also if you get spoilers from reddit the spoiler sub seems to be imploding for whatever reason.
