OK, so that holiday special was kind of ... really truly awful.

That was kind of rote. Hardly anything surprising or, unfortunately, entertaining.

Also the timing of it just before Xmas seems weird, honestly. Guess we'll see where it goes...

This ep had the benefit of coming a week after the worst thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
It was totally fine. Tho if I'm to be totally honest I think Monique won that LSFYL.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Sunday, 16 December 2018 03:04 (five years ago) link
Also, seemed a little weird to re-introduce two previous all-stars and then both of them are merely safe the first week. Like, make at least one of them a serious threat?
(Which based on the talent show I kinda feel Manila actually was. Latrice, otoh, seemed saved in the editing room.)
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Sunday, 16 December 2018 03:07 (five years ago) link
Trixie otm. I'm ok with Monique hitting the cow stuff hard in the variety show but Monet repeating her crossing/splits-fakeout thing was very disappointing -- she can do so much better! (I wonder if going from 10 to AS4 means that she hasn't had the time to replenish her gag bag.)
― The Boorish Manners of a Yaleee (Leee), Sunday, 16 December 2018 03:14 (five years ago) link
Monique’s lipsync was a nope for me. the stupid wig flip like, 30 SECONDS into the song? and then that fake orgasm finale. ugh. wall to wall Gimmicks & jumps in your first lipsync in allstars to classic MARIAH? cmon. Trinity sold it way better imo.

Gia Gunn's haterade tho ...
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Sunday, 16 December 2018 03:33 (five years ago) link
Agreed with Trinity that it's even stronger this time around.
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Sunday, 16 December 2018 03:34 (five years ago) link
Absolutely.
(Sorry.)

The Race Chaser ‘very important message’ that just went up is worth a listen.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 18 December 2018 11:45 (five years ago) link
Monet repeating her crossing/splits-fakeout thing was very disappointing
SOOOOOO otm and I felt the same way when I watched it, like "oh shit is this going to be the entire season"?
y'all, is the scripting/producer manipulation actually getting more obvious/less believable (e.g. Gia Gunn being such a bitch abt Farrah and then being like "wow she slayed me") or am I just getting more cynical and less invested?
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 14:16 (five years ago) link
OMG at the Race Chaser announcement! That was ... out of the blue!
― I Never Promised You A Hose Harden (Eric H.), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 16:08 (five years ago) link
i was worried for a moment, i’m so gullible lol
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 16:50 (five years ago) link
With apologies to Latrice: GGGGGIAR (good god Gia Gunn give it a rest). I didn't notice her being extra shady the first episode but she just morphed into Messy Drama Jesus.
Which naturally overshadows Valentina who definitely slayed the main challenge and lipsync and definitely is starring in her own one-woman telenovela.
Monique clearly the right choice to stay but if she had more self-awareness she'd be incredible.
― Siouxie Sioux Vide (Leee), Saturday, 22 December 2018 22:21 (five years ago) link
And the whole show is so metatextual now, I guess this is what a long-running successful reality show is bound to be in 2018.
― Siouxie Sioux Vide (Leee), Saturday, 22 December 2018 22:23 (five years ago) link
OK, I underestimated Manila's capacity for tele-genic (and not just messy, self-serving) drama.
― love craptually (Eric H.), Saturday, 29 December 2018 03:33 (five years ago) link
Top 3 are going to be Trinity, Valentina and Manila, and it kills me to see Latrice fading into the background so consistently thus far.
― love craptually (Eric H.), Saturday, 29 December 2018 03:34 (five years ago) link
Last week's episode showed the real danger of consistently going to 90 minutes because that dragged, in the bad way. Thankfully this worked better this week.
Manila rules and always has. Latrice does seem to be more...relaxed.
Top 3 are going to be Trinity, Valentina and Manila
Meaning all the black queens go? (I mean...I could see that at this point, given season 10.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 29 December 2018 05:48 (five years ago) link
Exactly. Unless ru’s producers are getting wise to the criticisms.

I seriously lol'd that Gia called out Trinity's fucked up nose.

I think (hope?) that Naomi is getting a stealth edit, especially considering that she's done well in the last two challenges.
― Siouxie Sioux Vide (Leee), Tuesday, 1 January 2019 00:19 (five years ago) link
Not sure that's going to be the most popular thing that [THIS WEEK'S WINNER] will have ever done, but I hate to say it, she made the very right decision. I wish [THIS WEEK'S SASHAY-ER] had at one point really stepped her puss up.
― love craptually (Eric H.), Saturday, 5 January 2019 03:24 (five years ago) link
Yeah I don’t disagreeBut then again I don’t look at Monet & think ~she’s such an all star~I mean, she’ll go home too in a couple of episodes imo
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 5 January 2019 18:43 (five years ago) link
Definitely going to shift into major crunch time here -- but the tease about the big rule change next time has me wondering.

Apparently the original name of the runway was Padded for the Gods but they changed it last minute because of this. It explains why Valentina's look seemed a bit off for the theme.

Oh and interesting thing I heard from Monet's Youtube series is that when Manila wanted to wear her period piece, Rupaul actually said she'd be eliminated if she tried.

I honestly didn't think Naomi had it in her but it was amazingLatrice vs. Monique was REALLY the show-stopper though, my fist banged the table four times

It's such a gimme, but at the same time I kinda want to see her body through the entire competition, send everyone home crying, physically take the crown from somebody at the end of the day and just leave and establish an actual monarchy somewhere.
