Furthermore, it took me until this week to realize Joslyn's voice is exactly the same as the ones from all the tracheotomy patients speaking through their voice boxes in the QuitPlan commercial currently in rotation on logo.tv

And has anyone else coasted as far by (predominately) hanging out in the background as Darienne?
She's probably been kept around to fill in the bitchy queen spot after Gia was eliminated. Her elephant costume was the first time she's had an interesting look.

darienne needs to go. she's just like a mean albatross hanging around the show's neck

Sharon Needles posted this on FB today: old episode of Rikki Lake featuring Pandora Boxx & our very own Darienne Lake

grrr
Nice find!
Meantime, a fun, not too academe-speak NPR article here exploring themes of identity and projection: "Drag Is Raw: Wrestlers, Queens And Gender As Performance Art"
http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2014/04/16/303652716/drag-is-raw-wrestlers-queens-and-gender-as-performance-art
But there is a WEIRD glaring absence, namely no mention of the Season 4 pro wrestling challenge episode. Which given Sharon Needles is mentioned is...odd?

Meantime, relevant, especially given the constant Puerto Rican presence season for season (and April is briefly mentioned):

I really hope Adore doesn't flame out now, I'm kinda worried she's getting in her head too much. Sorta wish Courtney had been in the bottom, just because I think that the way she showed up her bride was definitely on the nose.
And Darienne's bride gave me the creeps. Something about that weird flat affect to his voice or something just, yuk. and SHADY as fuck, him and darienne were two peas in a pod
I kinda liked the little arc they had with Jocelyn's bride...the things he was saying early in the show felt like he was going to maybe have a bit of a meltdown or shit was gonna get a bit tense at some point, but watching him and his wife root for her during the lipsync on untucked and how pissed he was getting at everyone cheering for adore was really cool to watch
Bianca did a bang-up job on her bride. And what a cutie!!

Joslyn's bball player initially didn't really seem to know what he was getting into. Did his fiance drug him to get him there or something?
― kate78, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 21:04 (ten years ago) link
this whole challenge was pretty bizarre imo
bianca looked a lot like her bride but the skin coloration was... weird
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 21:07 (ten years ago) link
she should've won tho obv
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 21:08 (ten years ago) link
It was kind of a strange one
Unless maybe the bball's player's wife was a fan and roped him into it? It seemed like a few of the couples were fans of the show already

FYI - Ru and Michelle have a new podcast called 'Rupaul What's the Tee with Michelle Visage'
Only one up right now. Flagship ep they go in deep on what they are looking for in auditions etc and it's kinda cool...so far anyway
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 22:27 (ten years ago) link
also sidebar re the podcast -- listening to ru talk, and this has struck me before while watching the show, I'm really blown away by how many people in her circle have been with her for 20, 30 years. That is one loyal queen.

Brandon's freak out was strange since he must have known before hand was he was getting himself into. IMO his team mates would've respected him more if he had fun with it and owned it.I thought the sport jocks from season 3 had the best and most surprising attitude. I loved how protective of their girl they were and how they genuinely seemed turned on by Raja and Carmen's lip synch !
― LeRooLeRoo, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 23:24 (ten years ago) link
I think my favorites were the older veteran queens last season, but yeah the sport jocks were pretty fun.
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 23:50 (ten years ago) link
Loved those season 3 jocks, yeah.
Just caught up with yesterday. Okay, Darienne out next, please.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 00:23 (ten years ago) link
What's sad is Joslyn's guy made it clear the worst thing that can happen to a player is to be presumed gay or associated with gay people. He was so scared it made him throw up.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 00:29 (ten years ago) link
I can't believe Darienne is still here. Top 5 wtf ???
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 00:31 (ten years ago) link
RIGHT? She better be the next to go.
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:11 (ten years ago) link
It was a very Willam moment, with much the same results.
xps Aww leave Darienne alone.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:29 (ten years ago) link
darienne has had her moments but she's clearly the next in line, though if it's another challenge not geared towards adore's skill set I could see her getting dropped
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 03:58 (ten years ago) link
yeah she was sweating this challenge
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 04:05 (ten years ago) link
her drag is boring tho and adore is a killer lip syncer
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 04:20 (ten years ago) link
i was vibing with the theory that bianca was gonna cruise to the finals but not win but the way adore has performed recently i dunno who else could really take it from her... ben de la? maybe? courtney? i'm skeptical
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 04:21 (ten years ago) link
adore was on some marilyn manson janet jackson shit last night, that lipsync was straight up awesome, made jocelyn look like a wax dummy
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 04:29 (ten years ago) link
yeah it was sick
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 04:31 (ten years ago) link
adore has that deep hunger/fire that ben & courtney haven't shown yet...they need it to beat her
this is like when alaska got real last season, love watching it happen

Okay tonight is already amusing.
Also my theory that it's going to be a final showdown of *four* not three is coming clearer. This kind of episode was ALWAYS done in the past when there were only four remaining.
