Oh, and Jinkx's mom crying was the emotional highlight for me.

yeah the mom moment was basically rivers of tears on my couch
No, I meant Jinkx's stage mom crying because he long ago gave up any hope to fraternize with the younger crowd. That sort of got to me.

oh yeah, that was really touching too. he was an interesting guy

Indeed. And thanks re: which mom, I was all "Er wait." Yes, dude's a treasure.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 23:20 (eleven years ago) link
And boom, top 3. And I agree Alaska won that round and as soon as I saw it was Yma Sumac for the lip sync I was all "Jinkx survives" and so it proves...
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 05:01 (eleven years ago) link
Meantime hmmm indeed. Also interesting to note in this interview how Alyssa fesses up to being a Jinkx fan!

i'm waiting for eric to start the drag race alumnae dance singles poll, when is that going to happen eric
― ampersand cooper black (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 14:58 (eleven years ago) link
i'm not saying any of the music is particularly good but if this show is pretty good at getting its fans to buy singles on itunes

Taking advantage of the market. (Hey, why not.)

Meanwhile Jinkx ruling every roost from over the weekend, whether solo:

having more & more affection for Alaska as this thing goes on
she's really grown on me
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
and Ru's point about her pulling off the suit/pants in drag was key
She's great! I still want Jinkx to win and then some but if it's Alaska, no complaints. (If it's Roxxy, derp.)
There were some great red carpet clips with Jinkx and Alaska in the promos for the awards last night. Alaska as Not-Sharon matched with Jinkx AS Alaska. Her imitating Alaska giving GPS directions had me roffling for a good two minutes, it was so note perfect.

And Jinkx just now on FB. Yeah, I think I'm ride or die with her for life now:
In the heat of everything. Amidst all the criticisms and all the fan adoration and all the craziness, the one thing that stays the most important to me is the texts of undying love and pride from my youngest brother, Jacob, that mean the most and give me all the strength I need.I love you Bug.
I love you Bug.

On the one hand, it's nice that there's still a clear villain going into the final 3. On the other hand, I hate that there has to be a villain going into the final 3.
Sort of shocked that Alaska called out Jinkx on the runway to go home, but maybe it was intended to light a fire under her going into the LSFYL.
Beautiful editing on the Untucked ep as Jinkx went from thinking Roxxy was complimenting her to realizing she was, yet again again, reading her.
― cacao nibs (Eric H.), Wednesday, 17 April 2013 04:33 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, and Alaska has Miss Congeniality in the bag I think.

Getting a big time Nancy Boys vibe from that cooking demo. (Nancy Boys being the premiere and as far as I know only drag variety show on Minneapolis public television.)

Alaska is growing on me. I like Jinkx the best personality wise, but I will say I don't think she's winner material. I would just prefer she were my friend above any of the other queens.
― homosexual II, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
also Roxxxy Andrews is a pretty benign villain. Phi Phi was far more annoying.
― homosexual II, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 17:00 (eleven years ago) link
eh roxxxy is just one of those people who confuses meanness for wit iirc
― ampersand cooper black (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 17 April 2013 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
There's been some image control on Rox & Detox's Twitter accounts this week, but I still blame selective editing for some of the nasty the former displayed ... or at least the amplitude of it.
― cacao nibs (Eric H.), Wednesday, 17 April 2013 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
So we've got tonight, recap next week (I assume) and then the finale in two weeks...

Geez, I thought last night was the finale. Boo. Hopefully Roxxy fans aren't tech savvy enough to push her win.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
was super-impressed by Alaska's defend your life speech, and I liked her LSFYL performance
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 17:26 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, great stuff for sure! I am fine with it coming down to a split between Jinkx and Alaska for the win (I can't see Roxxy marshalling anywhere near enough support now after that last episode.)
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 23 April 2013 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
Oh BTW, Jerick aka Jinkx out of costume last night

Roxxy's weird rant about all the 'comedy' in the courtroom scene was O_o ... she sounded like a 5 year old way past naptime
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
....yeahhh, all her saying it was trying to mindgame everyone = I think not! (Besides which, if anything she didn't help herself given Alaska putting the exclamation point on it all; then again she was savvy enough to note where the other two had slipped, so the advantage of going last!)
Thing about Roxxy is that if the two had been contemporaneous Divine would have trashed her attitude completely and played the big girl card hard in return. So, like, fail on Ms. Andrews' part.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 23 April 2013 17:39 (eleven years ago) link
It amazes me that Roxxxxy is so stupid as to have no concept of drag's inherent camp value. You're dressing up as an ott fascimilie of a woman, gtfo w yr whole THIS IS V V SERIOUS AND NOT AT ALL PLAYFUL OR FUN bs
― hoda nkotb (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 13:28 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it's just straight O_o
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 13:36 (eleven years ago) link
honestly i can't even bother with roxxxy's complaints, which seem to be about how the competition should have been better suited to her style of drag (looking like a low-rent lainie kazan wearing peel-n-stick eyebrows and a tearaway bedsheet)
― ampersand cooper black (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 14:35 (eleven years ago) link
<3 <3 <3 that is the best description of Roxxxy ever
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
both roxxxy and coco had these intense rants about their competition which was basically them projecting their weaknesses and insecruties. it really was like watching a kid or a teen lash out.
