ok that untucked was great.
now that Alexis isnt sucking all the air out pf the room I could finally appreciate just how rad these four queens are.
really happy with the result, cant wait to see what shakes out
sidebar: holy fuck Shea slayed the house down with her rhyme, good god that was great. and with the baseball bat? in love.

Yeah if there had been a designated winner for that round, Shea had it lock stock and barrel.
And how come Bjork can't DJ for me after I see an episode, I tell ya.

Haha yes to that!
Also having been a Peppermint fan the moment she walked through the door to kick off the whole thing -- and she really did feel like the season narrator -- her ending up at the end is really great.
So is there a recap episode next week or do we just wait on the 23rd?
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:07 (six years ago) link
reunion next week no?
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:16 (six years ago) link
Grand finale is the 23rd per the graphic at the end of Untucked.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:46 (six years ago) link
hmm
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:48 (six years ago) link
oh well
They're such a crew. I would 100% watch a magazine show presented by these ladies.
― trishyb, Sunday, 11 June 2017 08:56 (six years ago) link
Poor Trinity! Gave up shotgun just so they could get that final shot in the van!
Even though we've got four girls, I have to say that the crown is Shea's to lose. /duh
In fact, I think all their looks were very tame this week. I wonder if they get a budget from the show to spend on their looks, and if that budget has been cut?
At least from seasons past, the queens bring in their own wardrobe (e.g. Willam, who has a sugar daddy, coming in with high-end stuff).
so I guess we have YET ANOTHER season of horrible pre-taped faux-reaction from the winner, ugh, this is the worst worst finale setup of any reality competition show ever
I think that the alternative -- revealing the winner on the main stage -- is a little underwhelming -- the setting is too small and familiar for such a grand announcement, the celebration so much more low-key compared to a huge theater filled with fans. A little bit of confetti dropped from above doesn't make up for the difference in scale.
I do miss the claws-out reunion though -- having that part in front of a live audience has made it tamer (although the higher profile of the show and its impact on getting gigs or getting social media hate also undoubtedly affects how much bitterness and candor can now come through).

I know Sasha is fab in a lot of ways, but I think her looks are very tame. In fact, I think all their looks were very tame this week.

idk you'd think the budget would go UP when switching from logo to vh1.. I do find it odd that the looks mostly seem to be BYO. the show must be a huge success because they have no expenses!

I thought Trinity's final look was fantastic.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 12 June 2017 17:14 (six years ago) link
yeah Trinity looked incredible. The hair, makeup, THE DRESS...so much perfection
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 June 2017 17:39 (six years ago) link
yeah Im glad trinity decided to go out with guns blazing if thats what it was going down to.
I like the top 4 but I do feel that theyre all missing some part of the complete puzzle..
― officer sonny bonds, lytton pd (mayor jingleberries), Monday, 12 June 2017 17:42 (six years ago) link
in the finale they form Voltron and become ULTIMATE DRAG QUEEN

I just learned that Lucian Piane had some kinda mystery illness & then ate a truckload of edibles and went cuckoo... and that's why he's not on the show this season O_o

Unfortunately I've had some friends lose their minds and ruin their lives with crystal meth and his behavior last year was definitely similar to that.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 12 June 2017 21:55 (six years ago) link
it's still ongoing w/ him... his instagram is uh... concerning
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 June 2017 14:49 (six years ago) link
i think there's something deeper and more serious going on there than meth or edibles
not that todrick hall is any more tolerable onscreen, what a humorless privileged twat
― clouds, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 13:32 (six years ago) link
LOL, there isn't a single recurring judge or coach on this show who doesn't inspire catcalls from at least 3 or 4 gays in my life ... Ross first and foremost.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 13:45 (six years ago) link
I thought Todrick was much better as a coach than as a judge. He was completely useless on All Stars 2. I really enjoy Ross as a judge though. He's funny and his comments are always constructive and on point.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:26 (six years ago) link
I think Ross is useful primarily as an antidote to Michelle in sniffing out positives when the overall picture might be negative. Constructive tho? His time in the workroom for the roast challenge involved him saying, for about five minutes, "be funny." Thanks, Ross.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:32 (six years ago) link
those who can't, teach
― clouds, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:33 (six years ago) link
I don't want to be too harsh on him tho. Most of the slams I've heard directly pertaining to Ross are femme shaming, straight up.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:37 (six years ago) link
yeah, fuck that noise. i don't think he's funny but it's not because he presents androgynously.
― clouds, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:40 (six years ago) link
I agree he wasn't the best as a coach, but I like him behind the judging table. I guess he's the opposite of Todrick. *Sigh* at gay guys still shaming femininity in gays (while enjoying Drag Race no less).
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:50 (six years ago) link
yeah i enjoy Ross as a judge
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 21:31 (six years ago) link
I think Ross has gotten better -- or at least his jokes have, so that's something.
Almost feels like it's time for another changeup for next season's regular judges, though.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 21:44 (six years ago) link
Bring in Raja and Raven!
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 14 June 2017 21:52 (six years ago) link
That would be something, but given how many queens have clearly already performed with one another over time before actually appearing on the show, probably hard to keep some direct bias out...
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 21:53 (six years ago) link
I really like him. But then, I don't know anything about him at all except for the ten minutes I see him on Drag Race. He's not exactly a major figure in Ireland.

Idea for drag name/persona: Ginnie Vincent. Just boost this entire shtick, don't alter the look at all. https://t.co/46TVsMAWUJ— Ferris (@dxferris) June 15, 2017

omg Ross has DEF gotten better, I thought his jokes were Santino-level stupid at first but he has become so cleverly self-aware w/r/t his dad-level corniness that it's made him really fn smart and endearing.
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 15 June 2017 18:18 (six years ago) link
I don't respond to it, but he's not my bete noir or anything. I save that for the guy who does the yelly ambush gamified interviews on NYC streets.

Oh, for god's sake. Why isn't the reunion episode on my Netflix? Stupid Ireland.
― trishyb, Saturday, 17 June 2017 07:57 (six years ago) link
But other than that!
Combine that with the live (well, at the time of taping) lipsync that's been introduced to help determine the final winner and next week suddenly gets really interesting.
