Welp, now you know what happened, right?

Though I guess #maskgate ended up leaking, so the spoiler was too big to be contained ... or something.
Anyway, really really sad elimination and it extra fucking sucks that now the way it happened is going to make the world hate Nina that much more.

Wellllll...
Well well.
(Ariana has even been on the show as a judge! Imagine if it had been this episode.)

that was a shockah
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 20 May 2017 13:33 (seven years ago) link
that was actually the most painful thing i've ever watched on this show, the look of panic and terror on her face the entire performance was.... ugghhh. like, to spend a whole season crafting this pristine perfection and to have it end in such a humiliating fashion
also most queens who make it even past the first 4 or 5 episodes wind up being big enough in their own right on the RPDR circuit for a few years but like how do you bounce back from this? Inevitably this will define her from here on out
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 20 May 2017 14:22 (seven years ago) link
It's really tragic for both Valentina AND Nina. The elimination was the direct result of both Nina's crippling self-doubt and Valentina's blind self-confidence. And if Valentina's embarrassment was a stinging shock, Nina's going to be taking more than her share of the burden of fan fallout.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 20 May 2017 17:41 (seven years ago) link
I just don't get, like.... CLEARLY Valentina was supposed to slay Nina and send her home, and we've had people in the bottom two like this many many times before and the stronger person has always knocked it out of the park, how is this anyone's fault but V's?
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 20 May 2017 17:53 (seven years ago) link
Logic doesn't exactly prevail when you're dealing with a show that trades in so much artifice.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 20 May 2017 18:01 (seven years ago) link
Anyway, you're exactly right. The untucked ep shows Nina more or less stuffing the earbud into Valentina's ear to learn the song
Next episode after this should have Ru's last warning be "Good luck...and don't make me fuck YOU up."
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 20 May 2017 18:03 (seven years ago) link
"I thought you had what it took to go all the way." Just brutal.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 20 May 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
ok i havent watched untucked yet but O_O
on the one hand, shocking... on the other hand, be prepared & come to play 24/7 or your ass is going home no matter how cute or polished you are
valentina ya fucked it up. byeeeeeee
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 20 May 2017 18:49 (seven years ago) link
I think, eventually, she'll be able to leave it behind her (Phi Phi *almost* pulled it off), because a pretty face buys a lot of leeway. It won't be easy, of course, but a lot of people are going to give her the benefit of the doubt (rightly or wrongly). All that said: entirely inexcusable. At least she owned up to it.
Any hate spilled onto Nina is entirely stupid (while she and Valentina both contributed to falling into the bottom two, nothing Nina did DURING the lipsync made Valentina unprepared), but then don't bet against stupidity on the Internet and of the people.
OK but let's talk about Sasha and Shea! Yay!

omg they were so good
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 20 May 2017 19:37 (seven years ago) link
Saw a comment that it was almost like an audition for their own WOW Presents series. Would watch.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 20 May 2017 19:59 (seven years ago) link
totally. they have great chemistry
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 20 May 2017 20:12 (seven years ago) link
I do love their chemistry a ton. Tho I do think Sasha's Russian act suffers from having to follow Katya.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 20 May 2017 21:11 (seven years ago) link
idk, that seems like a reach as a criticism

but i have a knee-jerk hatred of hot gay men who think that they're hot/funny/interesting and also i project a lot so

he reminds me of popular gay ppl i've met at parties and bars and stuff who I'm introduced to and are rly standoffish and snobby, did i mention i project a lot?
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 20 May 2017 23:02 (seven years ago) link
he was a bit too "caricature of a flaming queen" at first but i love his references & i dig his sense of humor

ugh otm stevie
― clouds, Monday, 22 May 2017 01:14 (seven years ago) link
i think valentina will be ok. it was shocking and sad in the way stevie describes but i think people recognize her talent, and she wasn't defiant or arrogant about her lip sync disaster like charlie hides. it was a very human failing, people usually empathize with that. also i think i read something about her being pretty popular anyway.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 23 May 2017 03:54 (seven years ago) link
sad for the show tho. i think she was really talented and unique and i hope she gets brought back on the inevitable next edition of all stars.

No one will ever top Detox's military makeover sister.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Tuesday, 23 May 2017 17:11 (seven years ago) link
Well, I mean, probably someone has and/or will top her *in that sense*
*badumtish*
Also if you see an advance and even breathe a word about it we will hunt you down.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 23 May 2017 17:17 (seven years ago) link
After reddit leaked #maskgate last week, I'm not sure I'll get episodes as quickly from here on out.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Tuesday, 23 May 2017 17:27 (seven years ago) link
oh good
― clouds, Tuesday, 23 May 2017 19:22 (seven years ago) link
So now that we've all had a few days...who's your top three *now*?
(I would not be unhappy with Shea, Sasha and Peppermint.)

― clouds, Tuesday, 23 May 2017 22:13 (seven years ago) link
yep to that! i wouldnt be mad if trinity was top 3, i like her more & more. I love Pep but seems like she could go either way at this point? like she could blow us all away or flame out totally

is it just me (tm) or is the talent pool not very deep this season? I don't really love any of these queens that are left.

You terrible person.
Way upthread a couple of years back or so, the big change was noted in that there's very little emphasis on creating something in the work room to wear anymore. It's the one element I would change back -- you can tell people already have their costumes and things brought to bear.
