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 (seven 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"

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.)

i think i need to revise my top 3valentinasheasasha, but barely now - trinity is gonna kick her out if she dont work
valentinasheasasha, 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 (seven 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 (seven years ago) link
Definitely could see that.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 May 2017 15:39 (seven 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 (seven 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 (seven years ago) link
shea/nina was O_O
love shea more & more every week
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 13 May 2017 18:13 (seven 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 (seven 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 (seven 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 (seven 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.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Monday, 15 May 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link
but even her Ursula, the cage dress was a weird length
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 15 May 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link
I didn't love her Ursula. I think her Gaga was my favorite from her.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 15 May 2017 20:32 (six years ago) link
Was that the Golden Globes one? Zzzzzzzz.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Monday, 15 May 2017 20:36 (six years ago) link
Oh I agree it was dull, but she looked good.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 15 May 2017 20:46 (six years ago) link
her makeup and hair was great but the outfit didn't really do it justice.
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 15 May 2017 21:18 (six years ago) link
also lerooleroo otm, alexis is definitely this season's shannel
she has potential but she's too nutty to pull it off
