Well that was an unexpected twist for the episode and show. Not the ending, that was a hair too preordained (would have gone for Katya/Kasha to win, but it was close, while Ginger wasn't going to go, period).

Best episode of the season so far I thought. From Latrice MF Royale to the mini challenge, to the twist, the runway, and the lypsynch. Very entertaining.
― LeRooLeRoo, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 20:56 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I loved Latrice! What a perfect cameo!
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 00:43 (nine years ago) link
Not only probably the best ep of the season so far, but the best Untucked too, from what I've seen. Like Robert Altman came back from the grave to restage Paris is Burning.

Felt a little bad for Tempest tho, being the first sent home and now this.

Katya's description of the lip sync ... OMG.
― Eric H., Wednesday, 22 April 2015 04:16 (nine years ago) link
would have gone for Katya/Kasha to win
Really? Even given Kasha's umpteenth boxed wine gag?
PS Kennedy seems to love trade almost as much as Kasha loves boxed wine.

Hahaha.
BTW the Untucked, omg Katya and Trix were on fire. Also Jaidynn seems to be such a sweetheart, even all the production assistants were giving her a hug and a kiss when she left.

Fame is really growing on me, kind of like a fouler Alyssa, what with her oblivious dorkiness.
― A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 06:24 (nine years ago) link
Plus her support for Katya in the previous episode was awesome.
Jaidynn is the perennial Miss Congeniality that doesn't win.

I liked her but it was time to go

Sad thing about Ru's Trixie engineering is that it deprived of us of her Snatch. I was daydreaming about alternatives, like eliminating Max earlier and keeping Trix and then bringing Max back after SG so that we would've been spared her Needles.

Although the theme was already done to death, Fame did such an amazing job with Kandy's makeup. Most of the time I couldn't tell them apart.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 16:20 (nine years ago) link
Absoluteleeeee! I had to work to remember that Kandy is really short.
― A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 16:25 (nine years ago) link
I'm amazed at how the show could predict what happened with Trixie. What if people didn't care about her? It was a risk, but they must have been so happy when they saw the reaction online to Trixie's elimination knowing what was going to happen later. (x-post)

I def appreciated Pearl's makeover on Kandy Ho a whole lot more the second time after watching shangela/alaska's commentarytoo bad the costume was a snore

Almost surprising John W. hadn't already been on before! (Still, given the past week, hearing Ru start the intro message with a "Hello Baltimore!" was pretty jarring.)
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 05:07 (nine years ago) link
I wish Katya could have won. But Ginger did great. Kennedy really went for it too!
and I know they were flat but the 3 Divines was still p lol

Pretty sure Violet's dress was designed by Sandhya.

Fame looked great but so not an ugly dress
lol @ untucked that Pearl was imitating Trixie's eye makeup...and katya killing me again
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 29 April 2015 03:55 (nine years ago) link
Feel pretty bad that Fame never really got to capitalize on her oddballishness in the end.
We're all in agreement that Fame and Pearl were totally kai-kai'ing right?
― Eric H., Wednesday, 29 April 2015 04:12 (nine years ago) link
Katya deserved the prize for tackling the only non-Divine/Edie character and slaaaaaaaying.
― Eric H., Wednesday, 29 April 2015 04:13 (nine years ago) link
fame said on Whatcha Packin that she wants to bring drag to high-fashion & be a drag fashion model. She could totally pull that off. She has so much poise on the runway & her face is always goddamn immaculate.
Like, she *could* give us Raja levels of amazing but she's still kinda...undercooked? I dont think she's quite there yet but I think she is capable of killing it even if she is a complete dork inside

I actually did a season pass for the first time this year, so no commercials for me. (I was concerned the show was on the skids, financially.)
― Eric H., Wednesday, 29 April 2015 18:59 (nine years ago) link
I'm a bit late. Great episode, amazing theme!
I agree with what everyone said. Katya was awesome, so was Ginger. Fame is gorgeous and a bit clueless. The contrast is fascinating. Pearl looked amazing, not ugly at all! One of her best looks actually. Lipsynch was pretty boring though.
I liked Violet in the challenge. Anyone else thought she kind of looked like a Maya Rudolph character? And her runway is ALWAYS on point. She has really grown on me with each episode.
― LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 30 April 2015 03:54 (nine years ago) link
Violet's a lot more enjoyable now that she's loosened up in the workroom. If Drag Race was solely runway, Violet and Fame would be top 2. Thankfully it's not that show lol.
has anyone seen Fame's new music video 'Rubber Doll'? Production is GORGEOUS...she looks amazing (she lacks a bit of conviction but hey, we knew that already). The song is ok. I don't like it as much as Alaska or Adore, but just the LOOK: holy shit, fucking sickening

"Rubber Doll" is surprisingly not bad! Reminds me a bit of "Toxic".
― LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 30 April 2015 20:47 (nine years ago) link
The lipsynch was shockingly bad. The song selection didn't help things but Pearl, honey... what are those dance moves? At least she was selling it with conviction, which is more than could be said for Fame. Yes, dear, your face is flawless. We know. Yawn.
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Thursday, 30 April 2015 21:29 (nine years ago) link
Getting a little peeved at how few good lip sync battles there have been this season. Lotta double elimination missed opportunities tbh.

eric otm, lipsyncs have been super meh. esp this last one
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 1 May 2015 01:02 (nine years ago) link
I partially blame the song selection.
― Eric H., Friday, 1 May 2015 01:17 (nine years ago) link
i dislike when the queens have to lipsynch for a pop singer guest judge to the current song they want to promote. the songs are mostly very bad and i mostly do not care. it's boring. i know ru needs to get these checks somehow but it really fucks up the climax of the episode in my damn humble opinion.
but even so! the song was so confusingly out of step for a john waters episode. literally any other song would have been more appropriate
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Friday, 1 May 2015 01:43 (nine years ago) link

the only good one for a guest this season was Twist of Fate for ONJ

Last week's was pretty great for the conjoined twins, too. But, yes, this trend of current pop divettes getting some random throwaway song no one will ever know by heart must stop.
