don't sleep on Janey Jacke from dragrace Holland, my dark horse for this UK vrs the world, a polished fashionista with an individual style. Jujubee is the obvious plant in here, love some ms juju but will be interested to see her 'arc'. don't know a few of these girls as who can really keeping up with all the franchise's these days? but interested to see if there is much deviation from the main show.

Ned the super fan, judging by your contributions upthread, you've probably watched more Dragrace than Rupaul, lol..#aintgottimefoalldat

DRUK vrs THE WORLD omigod, Jimbo ..spoilers....
I had not seen dragrace Canada but Jimbo brings some refreshing clowndrag/performance energy..and that runway was some evil Queen realness par excellance. Juju was pretty pedestrian, surprisingly, got a lucky pass. Blu was another fun watch. I never watched DRUK season 1 but caught season 2, I think I watched the better season, judging by the other UK cast here. The weird soundmixing for a lot of the queen's own songs in the talent competition did little for these mediocre catchphrase pop numbers. Does it ever sound that bad for Ru's tracks, I call shade! lol. Glad Janey survived the lipsync, don't feel she was even in the bottom two but she definitely didn't excel. Bye, bye, baga, bye, bye...asap please!
― Swanswans, Thursday, 3 February 2022 21:27 (two years ago) link
I like Baga but I would. Yeah Jimbo broke up a looooot of monotony in the talent show, that's for sure.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 February 2022 21:58 (two years ago) link
jimbo went all in and didn’t disappoint sadly juju did, it’s like she’s treating it as a provincial show - the funny thing is it very much feels like a provincial show
juju is still the funniest in talking segments though
jimbo was smart to avoid the wrath of either of the 2 countries but could’ve showed at least some effort
― scanner darkly, Friday, 4 February 2022 00:23 (two years ago) link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SEuA2w409gthis Jimbo reaction vid is adorbs, absolutely worked that talent show. It's not easy to captivate with such a minimal act, but the comic timing and general sillyness was so beguiling...and then brought the evil alien queen look/performance that tore up the runway, totally feeling the fantasy and walking us all in nature.winner, winner, chicken dinner.
― Swanswans, Friday, 4 February 2022 22:16 (two years ago) link
based on seeing jimbo in drcanada that’s just jimbo’s natural reactions, love that

Wow, tonight's episode was unexpected right from the start! Real bummer, hope she'll come back at some point.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 5 February 2022 05:49 (two years ago) link
thought for a second you meant the bottom queen and was like, that was well deserved! :)
best mini challenge ever
― scanner darkly, Saturday, 5 February 2022 06:55 (two years ago) link
That mini challenge was amazing. 14 seasons in and they can still find new ways to be merrily goofily crass.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 5 February 2022 15:08 (two years ago) link
Yeah, Kornbread should be back, at least the offer will certainly be there. Their departure has definitely weakened this competition tho. Jorgous and her family, wonderful story and a fierce af dance off. Orion's timidness might be the pressure of competing (it happens) but I suspect it's also their usual mood, you gotta have plenty of nerve to shine against a performance like that. Odd take on the mini challenge from Maddy, it's a mini acting challenge, girl, get into it, get t' grindin those boys, get!! otherwise they did pretty well, her realness outfit was identical to an outfit jinx wore in a challenge, I'm sure of it. There's a drag by numbers thing going on here and I don't think it's gonna get them into the top...will it?
― Swanswans, Saturday, 5 February 2022 19:01 (two years ago) link
the show’s willingness to not just do something silly and over the top but embrace it fully(often to cringeworthy results) is what sets it apart from other similar shows and a big reason i love it
― scanner darkly, Saturday, 5 February 2022 20:08 (two years ago) link
sooooo bummed for Kornbread. such a goddam star, what a sucky way to go out. but hey, look at Eureka. she came back & turned the party, so i expect bigger & better from Korny. maddys look :/ it’s a concept-art version of a mother of the bride dress. not. cute. not fashion. his drag consistently ages him by at least 20 years & i find it very tiring. Dress Barn realness has 👏🏻got👏🏻 to 👏🏻go👏🏻Willow’s runway was my favorite. But I loved bosco’s too. Glad they got the win.

Frontrunners without Kornbread are Angeria, Willow and Bosco. 4th spot could go to anyone at this point.
I was so disapointed with Juju in UK vs World. She's been there for so much longer than these other queens. She must have some money. Why are her looks still basic ? I feel like it's kept her from winning time and time again.

Would like to put Lady Camden in the mix there for fourth.
Well yesterday's results...answers one question at least.

buh byethat lipsync was hilariously both ends of the drag spectrum at the same time

The cuts to Daya, then Bosco, then Kerri putting on those eyeball glasses left me dead.
Really weird judging, thought all the safe girls had better outfits than the tops with the exception of Angeria -- god she's flawless.

― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 14 February 2022 22:00 (two years ago) link
After watching untucked for s14, for the first time in ages, I love the footage of the queen's preparing for lipsyncs in the mirror, so fierce, like a boxing promo. Ms Kerri does her best work on the show in untucked and the diary stuff, she got some memetastic reactions to other queens. Is it wrong to love JFK, jasmine fucking Kennedy, I think she's had a strange ride in the show, having to justify herself every two minutes. I love her zestiness and confidence and don't think she is crossing as many lines as people are making out. Her inevitable exit after burning the runway down vrs jorgous will be bittersweet. Angeria for the overall win. Classy and sassy is a winning platform and I find Bosco and willow a little boring away from their killer runways.
― Swanswans, Tuesday, 15 February 2022 10:04 (two years ago) link
oh .... and lady Camden deserves top placement but doubt she fits the winners mould, regardless what she does, she's one queen that seems like she'd be a hoot to hang out with, smart and sweet in equal measure.

Like my cynicism about this show's direction the last few seasons, where everything is so packaged and ready to sell and glamor glamor glamor, did not prepare me for the realness on that Untucked.
― Choice Errol Quotes (Leee), Saturday, 19 February 2022 22:08 (two years ago) link
i feel mean saying this but i rolled my eyes a little at how ~much~ she was crying? i thought it was going to be some tragic thing but ultimately Jasmine and Bosco were kinda going through similar experiences? and instead of sharing w Bosco, Jasmine just criiiiiiiiiiiiiies & pulls focus bosco has to be like ok cool fuck my trans journey i guess? like cynical me saw it as a spotlight grab idk not that i’m diminishing Jasmine’s experience ~itself~ which is still moving its just, i’m already numb to jasmine & that def affected my reaction to her display of emotion

bc you are sweet & kindhearted <3some of these chaps looks though yikesno idea what the judges saw in daya’s look (other than story) - i hated it! and deja’s was not great. Jorgeous’s look was! not! chaps! and keri’s hairy chaps were weird, did not enjoy but she would look beautiful in possum guts so i guess it doesn’t matterlady camden’s runway stunt/reveal was great & i loooved her tearaway mustache move in the lipsync so funnybosco should have been top w lady camden imo, her runway look was EVERYTHING
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 19 February 2022 22:57 (two years ago) link
also Willow
oh and Jasmine’s chaps look was … idk…horrifying & confusing … my brain is still reeling

Yeah that was almost unlike ANYTHING I've seen on any iteration of the show. Phew.

we watched one episode of UK Vs The World and wow is Baga insufferable
― boxedjoy, Friday, 25 February 2022 10:15 (two years ago) link
insufferable is the word, **spoiler** didn't rate the snatch game misery sketch in this recent and it wasn't the opus it was set up to be. best bit of this episode: jujubee to Janey 'girl, what would you have done with that dress?' Janey 'gurl, I'd burn it'. Rootin' for Blu, Pangina's tears were edited and amplified, right?, it created the worst atmosphere for an exit. Feel for Pangina but this format is ruthless, she must have realised.
― Swanswans, Friday, 25 February 2022 20:35 (two years ago) link
Yeah watching it I thought the sobs were added on top of the end credits in post-production, but people on line say they just left her mic on, which could be right. Whichever way, it seemed unnecessary and cruel. Like are we supposed to enjoy hearing someone be so devastated?
You have to give it to Blu. She even warned Pangina that she was thinking about doing it. But I feel the format doesn't really work if the queens play that way. We're left with the less threatening and underperforming queens, like Jujubee wearing another unforgivable look on the runway.
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 26 February 2022 17:29 (two years ago) link
Last nigth's episode was fun. I always enjoy the singing challenges and I loved the theme. Didn't really understand the outcome of the lipsynch though.
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 26 February 2022 17:37 (two years ago) link
Mm. Honestly I would have laughed if the gold bar turned up in this episode right after the non-elimination last week.

otm. getting rid of 2 countries and 2 most interesting queens doesn’t bode well for the show which now became UK vs US +and i love jujubee but, girl, you should’ve stopped when you almost won
