I enjoyed every moment of that LSFYL. The good and the not good.

i would not have expected dusty's lip sync to be so hard to watch idk why
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 April 2018 03:05 (six years ago) link
the monet lip sync was truly iconic tho... the fake out split into the final bass drop split goes down in history
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 April 2018 03:17 (six years ago) link
Yeah great to have a total design episode all the way along. Seem to be bringing that back in more.This Untucked is...tense.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 13 April 2018 04:39 (six years ago) link
This week's Ru suit is my favourite ever.
Asia really reminds me of a pretty Jordan Peele.
"That's a great skill to teach a child... to make them gay," made me laugh out loud.

This is just about as iconic a LSFYL moment as I've seen since Roxxy's wig reveal.
― Uppercase (Eric H.), Friday, 13 April 2018 16:30 (six years ago) link
It almost flew past me! But then it sunk in and I was amazed. Because lord, that look she gives.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 13 April 2018 16:49 (six years ago) link
Whatever that song was that made the RA tracks list a year or two ago, the one with the drop that refused to ever happen and a viral video showed crowds getting visibly agitated? That LSFYL moment was a million times better than that song.
― Uppercase (Eric H.), Friday, 13 April 2018 16:56 (six years ago) link
Monet had me cackling omg that was brilliant.
Yeah, the design challenge was a great change of pace! It gave the queens more time to breathe and be themselves -- Asia in particular, so glad we got to know her a little bit better.

Vaaaaaaaaaaaaanjie
Anyhoo yeah god that was a lipsync for the ages. Loved it. I am not mad that Aquaria won but I was favoring Miz Cracker myselfFelt bad for Asia - she’s fast becoming a favorite.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 14 April 2018 04:47 (six years ago) link
i love that they’re still saying vanjie. it’s like there are parallel meme worlds, the one within the show that happened months ago and the one happening now

my god I rewound and watched that fakeout drop like 4 times could not believe how bland DRB was was either. I really thought she’d have stayed for a lot longerI love how the muscle queen whose name I forget was like not even on screen once til the very end

I have two theories on Kameron. 1) He's so hot and so used to standing in one spot with a vaguely distracted look on his face while everyone else around him ogles that he's just too boring for words. 2) The editors of the show are mimicking what every other gay person around him would normally do in his presence: ignore him. Could be a combination of both.
― Uppercase (Eric H.), Sunday, 15 April 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
Yet the thing about Kameron is: those ultraglam looks! The makeup! Maybe she should just be a behind the scenes person?
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 15 April 2018 19:51 (six years ago) link
I think Kameron suffered because the producers don't often get workroom conversation as good as that one between Monique. Monet, and Asia, about British accents. I really enjoyed how much fun they were having.
― trishyb, Sunday, 15 April 2018 20:04 (six years ago) link
Kameron is very dull, and he always looks like a dude in a hat/dude in a bathing suit etc Like his drag isn’t much once you get over his whole ~thing ~ I love Dusty so much more out of drag than in drag.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 15 April 2018 20:11 (six years ago) link
Yeah Dusty has personality, Kameron...not yet, at any rate.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 15 April 2018 20:16 (six years ago) link
I think they just pose him in the corner like a mannequin
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 15 April 2018 20:26 (six years ago) link
RIght, I guess I'm just saying I don't know yet if that's her or the editors. She could be getting the Kandy Ho edit.
― Uppercase (Eric H.), Sunday, 15 April 2018 20:42 (six years ago) link
this was a good challenge for kameron because it was purely based on looks. clearly as a performer/actor she's far behind the real contenders
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 15 April 2018 23:37 (six years ago) link
I also keep holding out for Eureka because we’ve gotten glimpses of her sweetness and vulnerability but she is making it really, really hard to like her.
― the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 16 April 2018 12:14 (six years ago) link
Blair's shown a pretty sly sense of humor that you wouldn't expect from someone who looks like a Leave It To Beaver extra.
― Meme Imfurst (Leee), Monday, 16 April 2018 16:54 (six years ago) link
Ok, maybe not.
― Meme Imfurst (Leee), Tuesday, 17 April 2018 05:09 (six years ago) link
Eureka feels like the very weak link in what's been one of the better seasons in a good while, not so much because her drag is bad but her personality feels so grating and exhausting
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 07:17 (six years ago) link
Well this is ... weird ....

I don't even care how engineered the Vanjie phenomenon is being revealed to be, via its repeated use in the edit. It's still amazing.
― Uppercase (Eric H.), Friday, 20 April 2018 13:58 (six years ago) link
I JUST realized what makes Kameron Michaels' runway looks so particularly and subconsciously unnerving. Beyond the hip pads and the breastplates, which we have all come to accept as part of the illusion, Kameron is also wearing a latex piece over her midriff so as to hide her six-pack.

Ru did tweet about Vanjie like about a dozen times one day early on tho. She and/or her producers did somewhat will it into existence. Either that or they decided to hastily edit it into subsequent episodes after they realized it caught on.
― Uppercase (Eric H.), Friday, 20 April 2018 14:32 (six years ago) link
Robbie Turner, tho.
Is there any update on that?
I am not sorry about this week's loser. One of the most underwhelming queens whose name I can still remember.

So there *is* a way to air guitar in a lipsync against Mayhem and not sashay away.
I think the queens were effectively an ad hoc focus group for Vanjie, and the editors were wise enough to capitalize on it.
I don't get the hate for Eureka, sure she needs constant attention but I don't feel to any exceptional degree. That said, I also don't get how she's gotten into the top in either of the comedy challenges so far, i.e. Cracker was robbed of the win so hard.
― Meme Imfurst (Leee), Saturday, 21 April 2018 05:19 (six years ago) link
I wanted Mayhem to go home but Monet's lip sync felt like it relied too much on gags and gimmicks and wasn't actually as strong as Mayhem's?
― the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 21 April 2018 16:54 (six years ago) link
Neither of them were really good and Mayhem's outfit gave me flashbacks to Coco's pink child doll nightmare in Season 5.
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 21 April 2018 18:15 (six years ago) link
monet's lip sync wasn't as good as her previous one but generally the queen who pulls out the tricks/gags wins. pretty consistent formula.
it felt early for mayhem to go home to me but she's not a great actress/comedian and can turn some looks but isn't killing it on the runway every week. kinda hard to keep surviving that.
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 21 April 2018 22:18 (six years ago) link
yeah Mayhem hasn't been at the right level of intensity, she's been a bit too in her own head & secondguessing maybe.
I didn't love Monet's lipsync and I kinda though that taking off the pads might have lost her favor with ru but I guess she kept a wig on and her shoes lol.
The mimed motorcycle made me die inside though, as much as Yuhua's air guitar. TWO things we must never speak of again.
but Mayhem did leave us with a gift:HASHTAG CHOCOLATE JUDD
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 22 April 2018 00:58 (six years ago) link
I am warming up to Miz Cracker. There's something about her personality I really like. And I really have been enjoying Asia & Monet & Monique & Mayhem, and the subtle push-pull they have with Vixen where it's like she's kind of on her own trip but they kind of want to take her under their wing, like how Mayhem engineered the 'sitdown' with Eureka and Vixen.
Vixen intrigues me. I love her directness but it's clear as day how much of a wall she has up; it's a fine line to walk on a show like this.
