Gia should show up once a week just to say something dumb to the camera, for old times' sake.

OTM! The most memorable thing about Ivy was the way Ru said her name.
Well...Ivy DID win one episode before she went, so let's see Joslyn step up for that first!
-Wasn't this just the second time Ben went old lady? And the first time, it was one of the (limited number of) roles? Smells like the judges are fishing for a way to ding her.
Yeah there hasn't been any sort of real pattern there for her. Older *styles* sure, but not full-on 'old lady' per se beyond this and the horror film, unless you want to count the opening Golden Girls thing. (Which she won for!)
āIām unfamiliar with the work of Lady Handler. However, I did think it would be rather amusing if there were a libation flavored with citrus! Can you imagine such a thing?ā
Gotta say that for not doing impersonations he pulled it off well. That and the 'invented the language' bit.

Gia's Whatcha Packin episode is kinda cool! A little less dumbed down, I think, and there are some great outfits:

Just caught up with this week's. (Had been waiting for a night when my friend and I could watch it together and he went ahead and watched it without me. Bitch!)
It was a tight snatch (game), and I don't think they chose incorrectly. Adore and Bianca understood their characters more fully, obviously, but I think Ben showed better improvisational chops, which is first and foremost in an acting challenge.
The montage of exasperated looks from everyone to Laganga's "you hurt me with that remark; did I mention that I cried?" breakdown in the Untucked had me in stitches.

Milk's apparently on borrowed time now, to judge from this editing.

yeah it's not looking good

And as much as I know the editing can lead everyone by the nose, it's clear a lot of those Julia Child punchlines fizzled. Didn't we get some bonus Snatch Game clips last season?
― Eric H., Thursday, 27 March 2014 22:45 (ten years ago) link
Oh wait, never mind I found it.
i thought santino's comment about her constant inversion of drag becoming a staid version of her own self was actually perceptive
milk's bigger problem is that she's sort of invisible in challenges. her julia child was shockingly poor.

Jeez, just give us the raw tape, Logo. That was scarcely worth sitting through the ad.

Yeah, Julia Child is one of those "how do you fuck that up" free squares of camp.
― Eric H., Thursday, 27 March 2014 22:49 (ten years ago) link
i really wasn't feeling ben until this week. she sorta has the opposite dynamic of milk, being really standout in challenges but mostly pedestrian and competent on the runway.
i find laganja (god, i hate that name) to be pretty tiresome. objectively speaking i don't think gia tried hard enough in the lip sync to win but there was something seriously overworked about laganja's jump-splits and shit. it was like watching the drag version of the star wars kid.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 27 March 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link
lol @ "free squares of camp"
I think Milk's argument of stayimg true to her identity is kind of a crutch at some point. Why are you even on the show, otherwise. Sharon Needles was always getting a raft of shit for not being glam enough, Jinx too...there's a way to still kill it, adapt & not lose yr identity.
Not that Milk appears to be at that level, talentwise #juliachildyeesh

every bianca bit is the best but her line about gia's reveal in the lip sync ("everybody knows what you're doing, just take your shit off" or whatever) was incredible
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 27 March 2014 22:55 (ten years ago) link
The difference is that Sharon Needles' scary shit WAS glamorous beyond compare. Milk's is often just ... weird.

Drinking game for next episode: healthy swig every time you catch Bianca rolling her eyes in the corner of the frame.

yeah agreed abt Milk
the thing with the long nose, it looked like a chin dildo it was creepy

Yeah, Ru's made it a point to observe multiple times this season that getting the audience to like you is crucial, and I think the problem with weirdness as Milk serves it (as opposed to Sharon) is that its primary point seems to be to tell her audience "betcha didn't see this coming." Fine once in awhile, but enough times and your audience is going to think you're calling them dumb.

First off thank you for a prime Moz/MST3K reference there, Eric.
Yeah Milk...I wonder a touch. This is one of those loaded roads to go down but given in boy life he's a clearly tall/strikingly good looking sort I get a little sense he's gone through life in a happier fashion than others and as a result his "Well I'll show THEM" moves might be a little more self-amusement than "gotta MAKE it!" Now having said that next week we'll get some hyper horrible backstory...
Speaking of which: poor Ben! I'm over three times as old as she was when she lost her mom and I'm definitely not ready to see mine go any time soon. I mean you compare that (and Trinity almost losing her mom) to Laganga's snit fits and I'm all "Count yer blessings, blondie."
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 27 March 2014 23:38 (ten years ago) link
interesting take on Milk, Ned...hmmm

I thought Milk's boyfriend was in ABT? (Or could that be the same person?)

I don't know but to fully appreciate how gorgeous and hot he is I really recommend that you watch his videos on youtube, especially "Dirty Mouth" and "I Hate My Job". Milk also has cameos in some of them.

Courtney on fire this episode.
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 04:50 (ten years ago) link
Her face is beautiful, but I don't think she has the body to do naked drag like Carmen or Willam did. It breaks the illusion.
― LeRooLeRoo, Tuesday, 1 April 2014 05:00 (ten years ago) link
Still in the Untucked here. Surprisingly mellow main episode, I thought?
Two full episodes next week, BTW -- I will be a wreck at work on Tuesday.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 1 April 2014 05:18 (ten years ago) link
Courtney does have a very square, waistless man body. She was very, very funny, though, especially on Untucked.
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 05:23 (ten years ago) link
Milk leaving before Laganja and Trinity was kind of a surprise. But although I liked her first couple of looks, she wasn't really bringing much to the show. And Trinity killed the lipsynch.
― LeRooLeRoo, Tuesday, 1 April 2014 05:50 (ten years ago) link
yeah i was surprised milk went home but for whatever interesting things she did on the runway it never transferred to the challenges where she was always mediocre or worse
and yeah trinity was really good at lip sync, it makes a bit more understandable how she always uses that as a crutch when she fails at singing/acting/rapping/being funny
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 14:16 (ten years ago) link
adore is incredibly annoying but she's been really good in the last two challenges... she was amazing in this one in fact :(
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 1 April 2014 14:17 (ten years ago) link
That's the thing, she's been consistently good for the past few weeks. Unlike a fair amount of the already departed she can back all the talk up. (In comparison, Laganga starting to yelp more and more about how things aren't breaking her way even when they're 'supposed' to says it all.)

Darienne not too far behind for me. Girl is getting shady, and not in a funny Bianca Del Rio way.

The only thing that could've made that gif more otm would be to have Gang doing death drop after death drop after death drop in an endless loop of drag cliche.
― Eric H., Tuesday, 1 April 2014 16:11 (ten years ago) link
I think it's Darienne who delivers that line that was in the intro to the first episode of the season growling about how she'll show versatility when Michelle does something and "Santino starts wearing a dress!" The editing made it seem like it was delivered directly to the judges and they didn't show who it actually was -- it's probably more of an Untucked grouse or something -- but she sure didn't sound like she was having fun.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 1 April 2014 16:43 (ten years ago) link
The insecurity parade between Trinity and Laganja is a, wait for it, major DRAG on this season. Trinity looked fine as hell on the runway, though. Thing with her is that she's rarely as bad as she expects to be in these performances (excepting her rap).
I'm not getting a bittercakes vibe from Darienne, even in that mini-confrontation with Ben.
