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.

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.

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.)

Exactly. Unless ru’s producers are getting wise to the criticisms.

I think (hope?) that Naomi is getting a stealth edit, especially considering that she's done well in the last two challenges.

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

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.

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.

GAG.
This season has definitely picked up in the last couple weeks, and it was great to see this week's winner step up, especially since I knew, based on her original season, she had more to show than we've seen. And the high camp of her lipsync!
I did not expect to Monet in the top though...

Or even Monique. Did not get the Money love at all. Maybe she did good at the Judy number, but we can never really tell who does well in these.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 4 February 2019 20:57 (five years ago) link
and why would that figure higher in the judging than you two judy looks & runway? monet’s judy makeover of Patty was kinda horrifying imo, his face was clown- white with hardly any contour of color anything!! compared to Trinity’s judy looks for ex
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 4 February 2019 21:14 (five years ago) link
Maybe they wanted a sacrificial lamb on the altar of Naomi's lipsync?

Frances Bean didn't bring much to the table as a judge but, you know, being the age I am and remembering her arriving in the world in real time and all that...just a little strange. (And I do remember that bunch of photos with Kurt and Ru and etc.)
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 4 February 2019 21:19 (five years ago) link
I think she was super-duper nervous
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 4 February 2019 21:29 (five years ago) link
I don't know how anybody else feels but Naomi's lip-sync was the one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my lifeI actively wondered if Monet was deliberately sitting it out to let Naomi have her win (and to remove her from having to make that toughest of decisions)Bummer though I was hard-core rooting for the individual who was eliminated (and now I'm rooting 100% for Naomi)
― froggles! (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 4 February 2019 21:47 (five years ago) link
From my spot on the couch, it looked like Monet was trying to pull one of those "let the face sell the song" bits, like what Latrice did with Aretha's "You Make Me Feel." It didn't feel anywhere near as deliberate a throw as Trinity's old suit from last week.
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Monday, 4 February 2019 21:48 (five years ago) link
lol I loved Trinity's performance last week!
like what Latrice did with Aretha's "You Make Me Feel."
This sounds 100% plausible! But IMO that tactic totally doesn't fit the song.
― Stateleee, Plump Buck Mulleeegan (Leee), Monday, 4 February 2019 22:03 (five years ago) link
Exactly how I saw it too. Which I thought could've worked on it's own, but not next to Naomi's slayage.
