Peppermint's makeup was beautiful, too.

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

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.

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.

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.

I cannot disagree
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.

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.

Unless it's all a deliberate riff against the "so long as it's not out in the streets in my face" cliche.

Woooh boy, tonight has been REALLY interesting.

That was ugly, that was sour, that was unnecessary.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 17 June 2017 06:08 (six years ago) link
I can see why Valentina was so unbelievably angry during that recent Nina Bo'nina FB live.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 17 June 2017 06:12 (six years ago) link
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.

― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 17 June 2017 21:37 (six years ago) link
I actually feel kinda vindicated hearing all of the other queens call Valentina out for being totally artificial and self-serving, like clearly no one really likes her
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 17 June 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
part of me was like omg why weren't you guys like this during the show?! but it kind of makes it somehow better that they locked most of it down? idk. like I love that it alllllllll came out in the reunion. and somehow during the season they were all I wanna win i haven't got time for your shit. like a sort of professionalism set in somehow. maybe I'm wrong.
but yeah, the Valentina stuff was pretty fascinating. I was definitely taken by her from the get go, so it was great to see that she's a really just a plastic irl and that no-one really liked her.
i could watch Eureka and Trinity read each other all day, love it.
and Charlie with her 9 million excuses jesus christ that was some lameness on parade there
Kinda loved Aja taking the role of 'greek chorus' throughout the reunion and whenever the need arose just being like, "I'm sorry but [truth]" especially with that whole Fan Favorite Award. I said the same thing yesterday before I watched the reunion when I saw Valentina won! I was like in what universe is she CONGENIAL? And even then I had no idea how the other queens saw her lol
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 17 June 2017 22:25 (six years ago) link
Or they are all a bit jealous of her, which I can understand. She does have that star quality like no-other queen in the season had.
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 17 June 2017 22:29 (six years ago) link
A friend on FB called her Vilaintina and I laughed so hard. It's kind of true! Anyway, best episode of the season. Even Ru seemed to be enjoying himself more.

OK, I watched it again and it doesn't seem *AS* sour as it seemed on first blush. In fact, it almost made me feel bad for Valentina again, despite mounting evidence that she was no sweetheart on set.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Sunday, 18 June 2017 02:54 (six years ago) link
i kinda turned a corner in Aja & Farrah tbh
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 18 June 2017 03:25 (six years ago) link
*on
If only Farrah had brought some of that "fuck it" attitude to the competition. Any amount. At all.

i don't give a fuck, valentina is the breakout star of this season
everyone looked really really good in this ru-union btw, especially chad michaels and acid betty

I find the respect that Eureka and Trinity have for each other SOOO touching, like it seriously warms my heart. Trinity is legit af.
Also yeah Farrah was really great this ep! Also Valentina as Miss Congeniality seemed super inevitable and I really felt bad when everyone unanimously ganged up on her.
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 18 June 2017 04:02 (six years ago) link
The sarcasm that greeted a $5,000 prize. Hell, that queen on The Price is Right three weeks ago won like six times as much on Plinko.

describing humor obv not very humorous but oh well:
Valentina implored her fans via Instagram video to put a rose emoji in the comments of every season 9 queens to show love/support w/e
so far kimchi has requested croissants instead
and Bob the Drag Queen did a parody video asking for eggplant emojis to "show that we're not all size queens"
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 June 2017 23:47 (six years ago) link
man Valentina done fucked her career up so bad, we have never come close to seeing someone with this much potential blowing it all.
