I was a little behind this week, finally caught up. yay!
I have definitely turned a corner on Adore, I think she's great and I'm so glad she won...she was so on point with her rap game.
Darienne's starting to show her true colors and she is not a very nice person imo. But I dunno if Ben is as sweetness and light as she's making herself out to be.
Can I just say that one of the things I love about the Lipsync for your Life challenge is the way that Michelle always sings along to all the songs. I like that about her. Oh and I lol'd at her whole 'TRACK NINE ON THE BODYGUARD SOUNDTRACK FYI'

oh and I was a bit sad to see Milk go but it wasn't heartbreaking. I kinda think that as shitty as Trinity is at almost everything else, she'll never go home while she has to lipsync. That she can do.

Coco and to a lesser extent Alyssa slayed in lipsyncs, though.

true

I'm not too bothered by Darienne, but for those who are, here's some schadenfreude for you:

Love the filial bianca-adore dynamic tbh, both are my picks to be finalists. ben also likely, imho.
― patron sailor, Thursday, 3 April 2014 18:33 (ten years ago) link
also adore's walk on the runway this week is one of the best walks (if not looks) of all time, loved it so much, that runway hasn't been pummeled so since raja iirc
― patron sailor, Thursday, 3 April 2014 18:39 (ten years ago) link
Thank you. I really think she should've been in the bottom instead of Milk. Her rap sucked and her runway look was boring. The judges always say they want to see versatility but apparently it doesn't apply to her. At least Milk tried something different.
I guess the producers saw more opportunity in creating drama *yawn* by keeping her.
― LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 3 April 2014 19:08 (ten years ago) link
Agreed with the idea of Bianca/Adore/Ben in the final three -- not that it will be for sure but that's looking more and more damned likely. (Bianca at least is a shoo-in unless something REALLY weird happens.)
Meantime, Alaska, Pandora and Jinkx say hi dere:

Red's a good look for Pandora.
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Thursday, 3 April 2014 21:15 (ten years ago) link
I loved that thing that Adore said in one of the cutaways about Bianca will do stuff to make you want to hug her but she'll be all 'fuck off' if you try to
<3
LeRoo otm, I didn't feel like Milk was anywhere near as bad as Darienne in the video, and Milk's runway getup was no great shakes but Darienne looked pretty off the rack*shrug*

I'm not really into Adore (and kinda not seeing what everyone else is seeing in her), but early in the episode where she cracked herself up was very endearing.
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Thursday, 3 April 2014 21:57 (ten years ago) link
*sigh* TWO episodes tonight plus Untuckeds for both, there is no way I'm going to make it through all of them.

YOU BETTAH WERK

Some wine and Ben and Jerry's might help...
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 01:47 (ten years ago) link
HA I KNEW IT.
No wonder they're doing two episodes tonight.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 05:00 (ten years ago) link
And good lord this second episode is starting out with ALL the claws out.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 05:03 (ten years ago) link
My dumb DVR is recording both Untuckeds tomorrow (ffuuuu) so I get all my catfighting tomorrow lol

Okay wow THAT was a crash and burn during the stand up sequence I did NOT expect.

Nah I thought it was an audience member...wasn't it?

...okay?
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 06:03 (ten years ago) link
I can't tell you how richly satisfying it was to have Ru and Michelle both dress her down.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 06:04 (ten years ago) link
Anyway, Untuckeds for tomorrow SLEEP NOW.

Ok guys, here the scoop (I go to a big viewing party hosted every week by Dela and Jinkx). The heckler was Jinkx's veteran from last season who was in the audience. Edited out was Bianca TEARING INTO HIM during her act.
So glad Laganga is out, so happy Ben stays. I was gonna flip every table in the joint if she was sent home.
― kate78, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 07:58 (ten years ago) link
You know, I *thought* I recognized that guy!
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 12:46 (ten years ago) link
i wonder how much of trinity's transformation was tricky editing from the jump and how much of it was her really... transforming. anyway that was fun to see.
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 14:02 (ten years ago) link
it was hilarious in untucked when bianca and adore really went in on her but were like "we don't want you to feel picked on!"
but she definitely needed to hear it. she seems to me like someone who completely modeled herself off the idea of a Drag Queen (i.e. super minstrelsy) w/o anyone telling her that her act was really horrible
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 14:06 (ten years ago) link
I love how Bianca's turned into a sort of drag mom for Adore and Trinity. Like the two who I could have given a shit about in the first episode are now totally getting their shit together
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 15:25 (ten years ago) link
I have a question. In the talking heads everybody is dressed the same since episode one. Does that mean that they were all filmed in one sitting after all the taping was done? I don't recall it being like that in past seasons...
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 01:39 (ten years ago) link
I dunno, I think they were always mostly the same with some exceptions but maybe they just did it all in one fell swoop this time.
Caught up with the Untuckeds. Laganja, youuuu...wore out your welcome.
So! Of the original two teams the first one is decimated. Just Adore and Ben, easily the best of that bunch.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 01:58 (ten years ago) link
I still am not feeling Ben, dunno why.
I felt a bit uncomfortable with the way Bianca came for LaGanja about her story with her parents. Like, ok you think she's fake but that felt like a bridge too far & unnecessary, since they were all coming for her over that shit anyway.
Regardless, still teamBianca. go you clown

It's kind of interesting for me that unlike last year I do not have a ride-or-die favorite. There's a higher tier but nobody's making me go "Oh YOU need to win," rather it's more "Hmm...who WILL win?"
Also of note: Ben, Bianca and Adore have now all won two times each.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 02:07 (ten years ago) link
Liking Courtney less and less. She seems to just assume she's going to the final bcz she's Courtney. She is talented, but she's so distant, it's gard to root for her. Her remove is v Australian, granted, it's clear she doesnt go in for the emotional soulbaring & likes to keep it light... but more & more she's seeming kinda cold. Which bums me out.

Mm, yeah, her dynamic with Joslyn's rather...odd. And while Joslyn still hasn't turned into a sleeper for me here, it was rather nice (and sad!) to see that clip from her fiancé as well as learning about her nephew.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 02:20 (ten years ago) link
her style is wretched tho
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 02:43 (ten years ago) link
totally. she's like Miss Rio De Janeiro every week, I honestly can't stand her.

I felt the same way. Laganja deserved the rest but this was a bit too much. Bianca could've just pointed out that Joslyn was taking the jokes and having fun after her emotional moment with her fiancé's video.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 03:21 (ten years ago) link
Was thinking this very same thing this week. Actually, the theme of the season is starting to materialize as "versions of previous season winners compete against each other," with Courtney Act (which many probably pegged as this year's presumptive frontrunner) even getting her own Eve Harrington, albeit a super nice one. Trinity is Tyra, Milk was Sharon, Ben is Jinxx. Stretching it a little, Bianca fills Raja's wise/hysterical drag veteran slot, tho no one feels much like BeBe.
