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.

Absoluteleeeee! I had to work to remember that Kandy is really short.

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.
― Eric H., Friday, 1 May 2015 06:15 (nine years ago) link
as a gay nostalgia junkie i am v embarassed to admit that this show has introduced me to a lot of mid 80's freestyle pop jams that were maybe Top 10 but didn't necessarily hit #1 and were probably all over the radio at the time but aren't played that much since. I think being born in 1987 gives me a free pass, though.

i realize it's a requisite tool that every drag queen should have but i really dislike the sewing challenges so late in the season. i'm not trying to see these hobby lobby fashions.

― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 18:41 (nine years ago) link
To some degree I've danced all of the partner dances (I need to learn to vogue!), and Katya and Violet had the most technically demanding choreo and still managed to execute it the best, very well-earned win for them. I would've put Pearl/Kennedy in the bottom, though maybe because I actually do Charleston and did not like what I saw from either of them. I did agree with Carson(!) about Kennedy's energy level. Trix I thought had more energy than Ging, but that couple had a better performance since their choreo had more camp in it.
― Madison Dumbbarfer (Leee), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 19:17 (nine years ago) link
Travesty that Trixie went home? No. What's the opposite of travesty? That's what that was. What really irked me is that her boy side was so incredibly undercooked. Each of the other 5 got that the boy side had to be just as stylized as the girl side. Trixie literally half assed it. So much schadenfreude that she was literally the only one in Untucked that felt she had probably won.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Thursday, 7 May 2015 02:13 (nine years ago) link
Is next week a makeover challenge? They sort of already had that this season, no? I think Minj and Katya are looking pretty safe for the top 3 now. Third spot is a crapshoot.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Thursday, 7 May 2015 02:15 (nine years ago) link
Maybe Violet will turn it, who knows. It's getting interesting. I actually really like the whole top 5 this time
