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

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

speaking of crying, the end of the latest UK vs the World was.. unsettling

Yeah that was almost unlike ANYTHING I've seen on any iteration of the show. Phew.
On the brighter side, this was a goddamn delight, Adore in perfect hyperAdore mode:

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
was looking forward to seeing jimbo in a snatch game..

that lipsync was weird as hellreal talk: i hate that dya won i hope her momentary high leads to a steep plumetting drop bc i am not into her at all and that when she goes she takes jasmine with her. those two. ugh.

but i loved the bad boys song, so fucking funny - the other two songs, listening-wise were very hard to sit through. interminably repetitive. loved anjeria’s diana. lovely,

It was really weird to me that the Shangri Las song featured the "Be My Baby" beat but the Ronettes one didn't.

I'm OK with Daya but can see how she can put people off (which is how I felt about Jan).
― Mobile Suit Gundam Style (Leee), Saturday, 26 February 2022 21:39 (two years ago) link
yeah i wasnt really feeling the jantasy much either
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 26 February 2022 22:30 (two years ago) link
Daya has been bringing some creative runway with little credit, she's deserved some dues now. Mama could stop some of the sour puss moments tho, although it's kinda fun to have some tension too, I think that's why I like jazmine, they both are blind to editing themselves and so hungry for it!

the neediness is off putting for megimme a Bosco who handles their shit
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 27 February 2022 18:39 (two years ago) link
watching pitstop yesterday i was reminded about daya forcing willow to change what she was planning to do because she had the same ideathen combine that with similar behaviour when they were choosing songs and a couple of other moments and..daya is starting to come across as a bully (and i miss kornbread who would’ve called out this shit even more)
― scanner darkly, Sunday, 27 February 2022 18:44 (two years ago) link
Bosco very chill demeanor has an edgy, caustic side too, but yeah, well put, they manage themselves around the competition a lot better, ' "I have a lot of friends but not one 100,000 dollars". Love a girl who deliver a read.
― Swanswans, Sunday, 27 February 2022 18:52 (two years ago) link
Bosco has a very oldschool vibe that I love.
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 27 February 2022 19:00 (two years ago) link
While kornbread had important stuff to say, I wasn't wholly down with how they went about it. There was a "can give it but can't take it " vibe that I think would have definitely lead to a more conflict this season. Kornbread's return season is gonna be eventful.
― Swanswans, Sunday, 27 February 2022 19:01 (two years ago) link
i see some similarities between bosco and jinx. must be the seattle thing!

re: kornbread, agreed! didn’t like harping on jasmine after the initial convostill, missing reality check from somebody who can deliver it in a good manner
― scanner darkly, Sunday, 27 February 2022 19:06 (two years ago) link
funny, I think Daya and jazmine have an old school, earlier season vibe, from the point of view of queens who don't realise how they are coming off on screen and gagged at not being seen as the top bish. I kinda live for the delusion as much as the illusion.
― Swanswans, Sunday, 27 February 2022 19:28 (two years ago) link
otm, definitely feels like many queens exercise a very measured approach nowadaysand there isn’t as much blissful lack of self awareness a la valentina
― scanner darkly, Sunday, 27 February 2022 19:43 (two years ago) link
i pretty much wrote deja off but she should’ve been declared the winner in the last epgreat lipsync too, helped by an excellent song choice (it’s almost like they planned for these 2 queens to lip sync..)
meanwhile, UK vs the World doesn’t live up to its own name

i’m salty that there was no elimination better be sending queens home doubletime next week

Right? They've already made up for Kornbread's injury with no bottom/elimination 2 weeks ago. And we still haven't seen the gold chocolate bar. Why not give it to Jorgeous ot Jasmine this week instead of a double shantay ? It's not like it's really going to be left to chance.

PLEASE for the love of GOD eliminate Jasmine jfc she sucks at everything except at dancing in lipsyncs

I'm somehow convinced we get the gold bar after Snatch Game here, and the show turns into Sartre's No Exit.

They are really killing the drama for this gold bar reveal with all these non elims. There is no gold bar, the chocolate is just rations on the longest season ever

Just ahead of the UK vs The World finale: objectively speaking, Baga has the most C U N & T, and Jujubee the least. However, subjectively, their positions are reversed for me. Mo and Blu are... fine, above average midfielders, but not winners.
― mike t-diva, Tuesday, 8 March 2022 20:12 (two years ago) link
I don't find baga delivers the winning c.u.n.t. for me, there's charisma, there's definitely nerve with a capital N but unique? talented? I find those qualities a bit lacking...that snatch game was over rated, the runways are so so, a fierce lipsync is not their forte, a forgettable singer too. I don't think this bunch of queens have set the world alight but certainly not baga.
― Swanswans, Tuesday, 8 March 2022 21:49 (two years ago) link
it says a lot to me about the diversity of human life that there are people out there who haven't given up on UK vs The World because of Baga

It really felt like a series where all the queens were in the UK or close by for something else at the same time so they just decided to get them all together for this made-up show. So odd. Although I really enjoyed Jimbo and Pangina's faceoff in the workroom. What a pair of pros. I assume Pangina's horror was all put on for the cameras.
