Just caught an ep of AS2 on Pluto and, man, they'll never accumulate a season with a bench of talent that deep ever gain.

Seemed to me me like Alyssa was asked to phone it in on purpose. Shea slayed it anyway.
Sad my little Ongina couldn't find her confidence back.

Yeah biggest cast ever. Imagine if Ben had accepted the invitation and had been there instead of Coco.
AS5 in comparison does seem like Some Stars (save a few obvious superstars).

Ohhh some drama!So is Alexis gonna steal Cracker’s lunch money next week? Stuff her into a locker? She is gagging for a fight The challenge felt a bit weird & dumb but Juju was cracking me up so I am glad she won.Loved the Untucked scene between Juju, Blair & Mayhem talking about struggles with addiction & alcohol. it was v moving to see Mayhem open up to them. I like it when this show can do thatAlexis as a circus tent on the runway made me think of Beetlejuice https://i.gifer.com/2LBe.gif

I knew when they showed not one but two people picking [redacted]'s lipstick that they were trying to build up some big-time drama about sending [redacted] home way earlier than expected. I've watched this show enough that I wasn't worried.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 20 June 2020 21:19 (three years ago) link
Yeah no way THAT result was going to happen. Still mildly surprised at who did go, though.

Yes, that was notable. (Mind you, I think they used every last variation of the 'sad piano music' they have for those sequences.)

This elimination hurt, because the queen who left is so classy and wise. Like, I wish she could be my mentor!
― Learned Leeegue (Leee), Saturday, 20 June 2020 21:31 (three years ago) link
Yeah, I was not thrilled with any of the outcomes of this ep tbh, outside of Juju finally getting a main challenge win!

Sad to see Mariah go for sureBob the Drag Queen said in his recap show that he wishes these original queens like Mariah & were elevated more for making the show what it is now, for inspiring so many queens to DO drag after their seasons

I wanted India to get the chop, she’s SO bland
You said it so I don't have to. I don't disagree with her winning week 1 but I think we've seen the full extent of her talents.
― Learned Leeegue (Leee), Saturday, 20 June 2020 22:28 (three years ago) link
Hard agree. Ugh.

― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 21 June 2020 03:51 (three years ago) link
I have heard stories about my last-placer from people who've worked with her (or, rather, tried to), and her unabashedly picking you-know-who's lipstick this week was the final straw confirming what I'd heard.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 21 June 2020 03:53 (three years ago) link
Agree with yr top 2 for sureI dunno if Alexis is top 3 - she’s insanely talented but her taste level is her worst enemy.But, maybe she is. i dont really care at all about Blair.while I love Cracker I think she is beginning to spiral. If there is a god, she’ll pull out of the freefall & make it into top 3. But I dunno. Alexis is def hungrier. ... Mayhem feels like she coasts too much on the esteem she supposedly has in the drag world without actually living up to the talent they say she has. Or maybe tv just fucks with her head too much. India must go. Please. If there is a god
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 June 2020 04:14 (three years ago) link
I've always looked at Cracker and said "potential." But it more often than not ends there.

Fair

This season feels like it's Shea's to lose, nobody else seems to be coming close to her
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 21 June 2020 07:25 (three years ago) link
Jujubee is funnier, but I think that's the only area where anyone beats Shea.
I actively dislike Cracker at this stage. She is so me-me-me that I just can't stand it. Instead of concentrating on the challenge, all she does is concentrate on how she's coming across in the challenge.
― trishyb, Sunday, 21 June 2020 16:25 (three years ago) link
I can see that. I personally find her neurosis relatable & give her more rope because of it. She’s SO funny to me though as a performer.
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 June 2020 17:26 (three years ago) link
y'all this lip sync was SO bland, I could not believe how bland it was!!!! It felt like neither of them were trying and I definitely wondered if Juju was losing on purpose so she didn't have to be the bad guy who sent someone home, like that's how lifeless it was
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 21 June 2020 17:50 (three years ago) link
yeah it was pretty underwhelming
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 21 June 2020 18:02 (three years ago) link
that's not the first time Alexis has been compared to beetlejuice iirc!!
― here 1st (roxymuzak), Monday, 22 June 2020 19:20 (three years ago) link
in her original season, Alexis was described by Michelle as looking "like Beetlejuice" with her hair pulled back, but the context led me to believe she actually meant this character from beetlejuice

As we get ready for tonight: the new season of Werq the World is three episodes in, all pretty good. Asia O'Hara's was more a fun slice of life, but the Yvie and Detox episodes got really heavy -- Detox with extended thoughts and footage about returning to Orlando and visiting Pulse, Yvie with blunt talk about her condition and the pain it causes. Something that really sunk in with me in light of this year is that -- maybe, hopefully not -- that tour might have been Yvie's only chance to really showcase what she does nationwide, all depending on whatever happens with how long it takes live shows to come back and how quickly things will start to affect her.
Lighter note -- so it turns out Race Chaser now has a related spinoff show The Chop which will cover Canada's Drag Race and it's hosted by Manila and Latrice, which, of course (and I'm guessing it may just also become their own podcast for all kinds of things). First episode on Monday, probably just covering the run up to next week's premiere.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 26 June 2020 23:43 (three years ago) link
Color me tickled that [this week's winner] could turn out a lip sync like THAT!
― Juanita was robbed (Eric H.), Saturday, 27 June 2020 01:49 (three years ago) link
Yeah that I did not expect!
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 27 June 2020 04:29 (three years ago) link
I also gotta say them being totally butched up bros for the SheMZ studio part was goddamn hilarious.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 27 June 2020 04:34 (three years ago) link
I just realized that the lipsync assassin ruveal reminds me of The Chase.
― trishyb, Saturday, 27 June 2020 08:06 (three years ago) link
IIRC this week's winner competed with a broken foot in her original season.
None of the groups were any good, though I laughed the most with Alexis (stepped-on lines and all).
The runway was much better though! Who knew that India could pull off editorial? And Blair's mug!
― AxoLOLtl (Leee), Saturday, 27 June 2020 21:53 (three years ago) link
Blair looked like a couture version of being the tree in the school play lolLipsync was so good!! I could watch Morgan slay every day
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 27 June 2020 23:15 (three years ago) link
Something that's baffling me is how India isn't catching any votes.
― AxoLOLtl (Leee), Sunday, 28 June 2020 21:34 (three years ago) link
i feel like maybe it's because people don't see her as a threat?
― here 1st (roxymuzak), Sunday, 28 June 2020 23:47 (three years ago) link
she's also getting generally good critiques
Nothing India's done so far has struck me as egregiously bad, either.
― Juanita was robbed (Eric H.), Monday, 29 June 2020 17:07 (three years ago) link
Okay, first episode of Canada's Drag Race is up, anyone else watch? (Would have picked a different lip sync song, but yes of course, that artist.)
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 3 July 2020 02:35 (three years ago) link
I haven't seen it yet because they're playing it on Crave here, which I don't have. But our homegirl Rita Baga's in it, so it'll be difficult to open Facebook without getting any spoilers. Hopefully the bars will start viewing parties soon (or I could just subscribe to Crave I guess.)
― LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 3 July 2020 13:39 (three years ago) link
I like how harsh the judges were. and Jeffrey Bowyer Chapman trying to imitate Ru's mannerisms
Is it filmed at the same location/stage as Ru's Drag Race?
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 3 July 2020 16:44 (three years ago) link
Didn't look like it at all, honestly. Similar to how the UK set clearly wasn't the US one!
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 3 July 2020 16:48 (three years ago) link
Stacy was brilliant, but she was brilliant on ANTM too. Brooke Lynn's mediocre competence is really highlighted in how unpresent she seemed as a host.
― boxedjoy, Friday, 3 July 2020 20:18 (three years ago) link
Stunning episode of All Stars. Jujubee, Shea, Alexis, and Run were all amazing and very funny. I properly laughed at both Eartha Kitt and Flavor Flav. Ru's dress and makeup were so beautiful. And so much DRAMA! I loved it.
― trishyb, Saturday, 4 July 2020 09:19 (three years ago) link
that was honestly the hardest I've laughed during Snatch Game..... maybe ever?
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 4 July 2020 14:19 (three years ago) link
like Alexis's Walter Mercado was funnier than anything we get out of most Snatch Games and it was only the 3rd best performance
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 4 July 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link
All the drama, all the laughs, what a ride. And yeah, Alexis couldn't've pulled off being pre-publicity for the Mercado doc on Netflix next week if she and they had planned it.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 4 July 2020 14:52 (three years ago) link
I don’t know if anyone follows YouTube drama, but bad timing for picking Jeffree Star!
