that challenge was pretty fun!!

i think i need to revise my top 3
valentinasheasasha, but barely now - trinity is gonna kick her out if she dont work
shea killed it this week in both challenge & runway, i'm a believer
valentina's drunk donna was so fkn good, i love her
i cant keep hoping nina raises to her true level. ru saved her this week and i'm not mad but if that doesnt light a fire next week nothing will.
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 6 May 2017 19:22 (seven years ago) link
What you all saw in last week's lip sync, I saw in this week's. Nina's facial expressions in those Thriller contacts were everything!
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 6 May 2017 23:20 (seven years ago) link
yeah nina killed that lipsync but sadly i think trinity will be top 3 too
― clouds, Sunday, 7 May 2017 12:53 (seven years ago) link
im glad we get another week of ru riffing on nina's name
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 7 May 2017 15:48 (seven years ago) link
nina bonina brown abdul-jabbar nearly killed me
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 7 May 2017 15:49 (seven years ago) link
watching the episode i genuinely thought they were unloading their best ones bcuz she was going home but i guess not
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 7 May 2017 15:50 (seven years ago) link
ru's reaction to farrah being born in 1993 was awesome
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 7 May 2017 15:59 (seven years ago) link
now that cucu is gone the new drinking game/group suicide game can be take a shot every time farrah makes cryface
― clouds, Sunday, 7 May 2017 16:18 (seven years ago) link
i didn't think that lip sync was particularly awful or exceptional but i legit could not tell who was winning and actually thought aja had it
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 7 May 2017 17:34 (seven years ago) link
Nina's performance fit the song better, though they were both entertaining.
At least we got to see Aja's surprisingly neat penmanship!
― Bashir-Worf Hypothesis (Leee), Sunday, 7 May 2017 19:33 (seven years ago) link
that elimination decision didn't really make such sense to me, it might have been one where the producers wanted to keep nina around for the purposes of drama.

How many times has the winner of the first challenge not made it to the final 3?
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Sunday, 7 May 2017 21:53 (seven years ago) link
The moment the two of them leaned into the note twice killed me.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Sunday, 7 May 2017 21:54 (seven years ago) link
Sometimes I don't know what people want from lip syncs. Awkward bankheading and earring eating?
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Sunday, 7 May 2017 21:55 (seven years ago) link
Sorry, don't mean to fun police. It's kinda true for me that if I don't particularly like the song being lip sync'd to, odds are good I won't be moved by the performances themselves, and "Music" is among my very least favorite Madonna singles.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Sunday, 7 May 2017 21:59 (seven years ago) link
for me i didn't think the lipsync from either of them was nearly energetic enough for the song.
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 7 May 2017 22:19 (seven years ago) link
It was a pleasant lipsync there with "Finally," but it was almost like the song was carrying the performances rather than the other way around. But yeah, fun episode all around.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 8 May 2017 03:26 (seven years ago) link
Also it's been interesting seeing Untucked 2.0 stretch out a bit beyond its own now-established beats -- the easy-going song as Aja left the stage area instead of the full-on sad melancholia, and now for the last couple of weeks seeing the departing queen remove their makeup before going to the work area. Small changes but even so.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 8 May 2017 03:31 (seven years ago) link
has untucked 2.0 been going longer than 1.0? tbh i prefer the old one :(
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 8 May 2017 03:39 (seven years ago) link
also i just realized if you go all the way back to s1 this is prob untucked 3.0 or 4.0
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 8 May 2017 03:43 (seven years ago) link
2.0 or whatever we want to call it has been going since...season 7 I think?
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 8 May 2017 04:31 (seven years ago) link
i miss the manufactured drama of untucked, BUT i love the unselfconscious moments between queens that the new format allows
idk
i kinda want it both ways
we'll never have a BITCH AH AM FROM CHICAGO/get yr popcorn/bitches gonna brawl moment
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 8 May 2017 04:53 (seven years ago) link
not a fan of the setup group-share at the same moment in every episode
like i love the content and the conversations but it's weird & offputting that they happen at the same spot in the show every week

xpost True but it always happens around when everyone's getting into full makeup so kinda by default they're sitting around and talking.

Nice interview with Valentina here

So, we'll all talk more tomorrow I'm sure but there were a couple of points tonight when I could not look at the screen, the bombing was THAT BAD.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 May 2017 04:06 (six years ago) link
ya that was some of the worst bombing i think the show has ever seen
anyway ugh finally Farrah is gone, spoilers actually got leaked to Reddit earlier this week and I wasn't even mad bcz it was like "oh, duh"
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 13 May 2017 14:31 (six years ago) link
Honestly if the entire bottom three had disappeared through trap doors all at once I would have been all "Hey great!" (Trinity is the best of those three easy but 'wildly inconsistent' is an understatement.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 May 2017 14:37 (six years ago) link
i think i need to revise my top 3valentinasheasasha, but barely now - trinity is gonna kick her out if she dont work
This is kinda where I'm at now, but with Peppermint (who I've always liked -- I kinda see her as the season narrator) winning and Sasha making a mark this week, I might call them a potential final four. But after Alexis finally goes soon (crossed fingers) then I'm almost happy with whatever results.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 May 2017 14:43 (six years ago) link
so who's going home next? I'd say at this point the next 3 will prob be Nina, Trinity, and Alexis
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 13 May 2017 14:59 (six years ago) link
Definitely could see that.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 May 2017 15:39 (six years ago) link
Untucked thoughts:
Valentina and Nina there at the start, that was a kind of relaxed dynamic. In a good way!
Leave it to Alexis to complain that she was hard done by.
That Shea/Nina blowup!
...and who *didn't* leave a farewell note, I wonder.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 May 2017 16:47 (six years ago) link
oh my god Alexis ATE ITthe green and the visible padding like whaaaat is even happening
i knew farrah would eat it, that was expected. thought for a moment she might have won the lipsync but she plateaued
but i got a perverse enjoyment out of seeing alexis look so crazy & tank so hard. i thought she had potential early on & expected her to climb up but she is so insecure, her taste is v questionable & i want to set her dress barn wardrobe on fire
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 13 May 2017 18:12 (six years ago) link
shea/nina was O_O
love shea more & more every week
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 13 May 2017 18:13 (six years ago) link
Ross Matthews made an accurate sports analogy!
I'm glad to see Pep win, even though in truth I like Sasha's routine more. Also, I thought Valentina should've been top 3 instead of Shea. I doubted she had the shade to read so hard!
― Bashir-Worf Hypothesis (Leee), Saturday, 13 May 2017 19:18 (six years ago) link
And you know, I've grown on Farrah! I'm going to miss her whining. If she could translate it into a tee-shirt catchphrase, she could go far in life.
― Bashir-Worf Hypothesis (Leee), Saturday, 13 May 2017 19:20 (six years ago) link
OMG Trinity drinking in between Shea and Nina's argument, she still can't stop stealing the scene.
― Bashir-Worf Hypothesis (Leee), Saturday, 13 May 2017 19:38 (six years ago) link
i can't tell if it was an edit designed to construct a story arch for the album (i suspect it was), but why at the beginning of this episode were all the queens talking about alexis as if she's a no doubt top 3 contender? she's like.... a decent queen? some good performances, some bad ones! she seems to have a very distorted image of her own talent
― J0rdan S., Monday, 15 May 2017 18:52 (six years ago) link
Trinity in some recent Untucked episode said she thought the two people most likely to reach the finish line (presumably alongside her) were Shea and Alexis.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Monday, 15 May 2017 18:56 (six years ago) link
Meanwhile, Katya on her Uhnnnn panel at Dragcon said that the ideal top three would be Shea, Valentina and Sasha. Seems that's what everyone more or less wants.
Alexis is the Shannel of the season, good but delusional.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 15 May 2017 19:02 (six years ago) link
Yeah, predicted order going home from here on out:
NinaTrinityPeppermintAlexis or Sasha [could keep Alexis on for Roxxxy/Phi Phi vibes]
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Monday, 15 May 2017 19:13 (six years ago) link
Raven also said on the live Toot and Boot that she was rooting for Alexis, but she always loves pageanty queens like Roxxxy.
I could see Trinity making the Top 3. She's the only one with two solo wins so far.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 15 May 2017 19:32 (six years ago) link
Alexis isn't living up to the fashion hype tho. Ursula was a stunner, I'll admit.
