Kinda loved how the mini challenge was just trundling along and then Sasha wiped the floor with everyone beforehand.

omg sasha in that mini challenge = incredible loosey & lux were the obvious winners of the challenge bc everyone else kinda stunk lol loosey’s runway look & esp the makeup was a huge YEESH for me Lux of course killed it with that Ru lookloved Sasha’s runway, love how she always understands the assignment lipsync was pretty freaking great

Yeah that was a treat, granted the episodes are back to the length they should be at last but I appreciated them showing what looked like the whole thing.
Plastique Tiara on Pit Stop and Beyonce mentions = comedy for days.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 12 March 2023 16:25 (one year ago) link
If some other lip sync results in a double shantay, I'm going to be pissed.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Sunday, 12 March 2023 16:51 (one year ago) link
That really was an actually good Rusical there. All too apt as well!
Still I was hoping for a different end result because that would have eventually meant an all top four that was POC/not white, which I don't think has ever happened in the show, and even regardless of that, Ms LaDuca is wearying me greatly -- but there's still next week.

loosey is more jan than jan ever was
RUTH deserved a much better lipsync, should’ve been a double sashay

I was half thinking that! No energy.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 18 March 2023 18:13 (one year ago) link
yeah god that lipsync was a crime of boredom, kate bush is a DANCER maybe DANCE to the song ughlux’s “lemme tell you about EACH of these girls AND drag loosey for filth” was A+ tv this girl has reality tv producer in her bones

rusical was pretty great though, mistress & anetra were so good
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 18 March 2023 20:28 (one year ago) link
Loosey isn't even an interesting villain anymore. And the way she's been overdrawing her top lip has been unflattering and distracting.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Sunday, 19 March 2023 05:32 (one year ago) link
lol agree

honestly they did a great job across the board w the makeovers, the skill level was pretty high!

It was! Good theme for the episode in general

i loved the bibe btw sasha & her teacher, they were like instant besties
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 25 March 2023 20:10 (one year ago) link
VIBE jesus
I hope everyone's blood pressure is OK because Loosey served up a whole heap of salt at the end there.
I'm a little surprised that the teachers gave their full names because given the current state of things I can easily see them getting harassed for being on the show (and I certainly hope I'm wrong there).
― Shartreuse (Leee), Saturday, 25 March 2023 21:12 (one year ago) link
yeah i mean Loosey def got the rough end of the editing/producing stick but she is also deeply deluded & thats why she made for good reality tv
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 25 March 2023 22:38 (one year ago) link
Tired of:
- Mistress's eras- Sasha's confessional gloves- Luxx's confessional hat that makes her look like she's 12.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Sunday, 2 April 2023 01:18 (one year ago) link
tired of SPOILER ending i still love Sasha forever

Very. Guess they had to fill out a contract.
Meantime, a crossover I did not expect!

Watching the reunion, Poppy and Robin felt like years ago.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Saturday, 8 April 2023 21:54 (one year ago) link
Really did! Enjoyable watch but there were times I was all "Wait that was this season?"
Drag Race Belgique ended its first season the other day -- good winner and the whole thing was very entertaining! Rita Baga made an excellent host for sure. Be nice if there'll be more (still waiting on Drag Race Holland to hopefully come back for a third season...).

yeah relieved it’s almost over and don’t particularly care who wins (i do love sasha and anetra and glad they got the exposure they deserve)
it’s mind boggling that some queens don’t seem to be aware that the reunion ep is one of the biggest opportunities to fix/expand your arc
― scanner darkly, Monday, 10 April 2023 19:16 (one year ago) link
Hahahah quite.
Definitely will be ordering that oral history tomorrow with payday funds. (Granted it's official but even so; Race Chaser gives me all the retrospective dirt that wouldn't be in there.)

surprised irene dubois didn’t have a venmo link under her name chyron - she was really going for it i always find it funny when early exit queens grab for allll the camera time, like even over the finalists

fashion photo ruview with willow pill was great (“this is what marcia thought she looked like” comment was both very funny and otm)(really over raven at this point, i hope they keep willow)
― scanner darkly, Friday, 14 April 2023 19:54 (one year ago) link
I do love Raven but yes, forgot to link this earlier, Willow absolutely brings her vibe perfectly to this thing.
Kinda loving that these next three days are finale, then Drag Race Sweden, then Drag Race España kicks in.
Oh and before I forget:

So obv it ended kinda what we all figured, but happily deserving. Though I was amused that they specifically engineered the top two reduction, of course.
Anyway, the two last key things from this season (well until the last Photo Ruview):

The finale could have just been Sasha’s lipsync because HOLY HOT DAMN that is how you pull focus <3 <3Anetra felt like a windup toy next to what Sasha was giving And consider “pageant queen” officially reclaimed. BOW. DOWN.
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 17 April 2023 01:46 (one year ago) link
mistress becoming the subject of her own song thinking she had a chance to be in the top 2 was pretty funny
jinx was amazing and willow killed it, love her and her sense of humour
but other than that it reflected the whole season: no stakes, no energy affair
― scanner darkly, Monday, 17 April 2023 02:34 (one year ago) link
It was nice to have Drag Race España to get into today — 13 queens, biggest season yet, and the judging panel vibes and everything remain top notch.

Okay All Stars Season 8 cast announcement/promo stuff here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7WG8bnKvuw
This is a solid cast! Some deep cuts and a really interesting mix overall, I'm liking the sound of this season.

I will be a Darienne Lake stan account from this moment on

it’s a good mix, especially with jimbo - the element of chaos - thrown in

this new Hulu “Drag Me To Dinner” thing seems weird & random but of course i’ll watch bc Willam
See 40 drag stars from "RuPaul's" "Drag Race", "Dragula", more join new "Drag Me to Dinner" competition series https://t.co/ObhW8CFQoV— Willam (@willam) May 1, 2023
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 1 May 2023 18:18 (one year ago) link
I appreciated the goss the other day where Willam said one reason why All-Stars 8's cast is the way it is was that a lot of people didn't want to join in unless there was a format like season 7 ie no eliminations. (And supposedly AS9 will be like that.)
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 1 May 2023 18:29 (one year ago) link
On a much more serious note, eesh.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 4 May 2023 21:04 (one year ago) link
So All-Stars has indeed been pretty entertaining with its random enough cast, and the whole Heidi drama is a thing. As is, clearly, Jimbo on a glide path and simultaneously never being able to win a lipsync. But the various Bianca del Rio Pit Stops have been even funnier (I loved how the Sonique episode was half them just talking about other stuff, and the Sugar/Spice one was hilarious).
Drag Race España's been great this season as well, you're missing out if you're missing out of that, but right now Drag Race Mexico looks like it's going to kill it -- that's easily the fanciest work room setup I've seen in a while, not to mention the main stage:

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 June 2023 14:53 (eleven months ago) link
if kandy wins i quit. worried about jimbo being such an obvious favorite (where is the arc!). maybe she’s being intentionally bad at lip syncs, to look less of a threat? but probably not..
pit stops have definitely been a riot but it’s the fashion photo ruview that got significantly better with raven replaced. i <3 kerri as a host, shooting kasha’s runway was everything.
― scanner darkly, Friday, 9 June 2023 20:41 (eleven months ago) link
Yeah she’s a fun change! Introduces a different dynamic by default given the age difference

need a supercut of all the times alexis dramatically wept for attention (also love how the other queens this season are always like “ok. anyway…”)
