i love loosey’s self-own with her ugly-ass “runner-up” dress that honestly looked like she made it for someone a full 6 inches shorter yet she made it for herself go figure and martha just snorting rails of delusion now too lol. she should have been in the top? THIS top? on THIS drag race! i mean. if anyone’s drag screams middling safe realness it’s her lol but go off not sad about lack of spice going forward, but did like how kind Mistress was to her and my top three for sure Sasha, Anetra & Mistress. I think Lux needs to let go a little more & not be so on-brand always. Reminda me of the first early episodes of Naomi in her season. Once Naomi started being stupid & enjoying herself she like BECAME the Naomi we love. Because we can already see the beauty & the legs, you can be giving AND be a dork & not ruin the vibe.

I think I'm the closest thing to a Marcia stan and I was also like, "Your look is a bustier with some beads. At least Luxx has a credible argument."

she’s safe even even if this was the Louis XVI/Marie Antoinette Ball

Strange slumgullion of an episode -- but then again, so is the season. Once again the Pit Stop was the better chaos factor, and at least we're still steadily working down the size of the group here.
Drag Race Sweden started today meantime and I do like all the little variations each incarnation does, like turning the lights off at the end of the workday etc. (I was also surprised to realize that when they offered immunity today I was all "Oh yeah, they don't really do that any more!") More emotional out of the gate as well than I would have guessed.

the challenge was interesting but most of them kinda whiffed on it, which surprised me. loosey was the only one (to me) who really nailed the interview but gah her runway look was a no for me - she looked like Wynnona Judd more than she looked like Bey! no offense to wynonna. bummed there was no lemonade or homecoming beyonce lookmistress’s destiny’s child look was hilarious & great and sasha looked amaaaaaaaazing
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 4 March 2023 23:54 (one year ago) link
Yeah those were two true highlights!
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 4 March 2023 23:57 (one year ago) link
i thought malaysia won the lipsync tbh but i think i was just going off selena losing her wig & being messy
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 5 March 2023 00:13 (one year ago) link
I liked Sasha riding the Charo kooky cuchi train, which felt a lot more spontaneous and fun than Loose's interview.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Sunday, 5 March 2023 02:01 (one year ago) link
the heavy handed editing of the interviews was weird considering it didn't support the judging decisions. based on what we saw, loosey was the only one who had any resemblance of control over her interview.

oh i forgot one more thingmarcia’s beyonce runway!?!?!?!??the best i can say is it looked like a small-town high school prom dress circa 1991, she got it from the “classy” dress shop & mom paid at least $100 for it. terrible. just terrible
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 5 March 2023 21:06 (one year ago) link
yeah, marcia should’ve been in the bottom
― scanner darkly, Sunday, 5 March 2023 21:27 (one year ago) link
Bianca's Pit Stop reaction to that look was everything.

Kinda loved how the mini challenge was just trundling along and then Sasha wiped the floor with everyone beforehand.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 11 March 2023 04:13 (one year ago) link
omg sasha in that mini challenge = incredible loosey & lux were the obvious winners of the challenge bc everyone else kinda stunk lol loosey’s runway look & esp the makeup was a huge YEESH for me Lux of course killed it with that Ru lookloved Sasha’s runway, love how she always understands the assignment lipsync was pretty freaking great
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 12 March 2023 16:13 (one year ago) link
Yeah that was a treat, granted the episodes are back to the length they should be at last but I appreciated them showing what looked like the whole thing.
Plastique Tiara on Pit Stop and Beyonce mentions = comedy for days.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 12 March 2023 16:25 (one year ago) link
If some other lip sync results in a double shantay, I'm going to be pissed.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Sunday, 12 March 2023 16:51 (one year ago) link
That really was an actually good Rusical there. All too apt as well!
Still I was hoping for a different end result because that would have eventually meant an all top four that was POC/not white, which I don't think has ever happened in the show, and even regardless of that, Ms LaDuca is wearying me greatly -- but there's still next week.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 18 March 2023 17:30 (one year ago) link
loosey is more jan than jan ever was
RUTH deserved a much better lipsync, should’ve been a double sashay
― scanner darkly, Saturday, 18 March 2023 18:04 (one year ago) link
I was half thinking that! No energy.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 18 March 2023 18:13 (one year ago) link
yeah god that lipsync was a crime of boredom, kate bush is a DANCER maybe DANCE to the song ughlux’s “lemme tell you about EACH of these girls AND drag loosey for filth” was A+ tv this girl has reality tv producer in her bones
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 18 March 2023 20:27 (one year ago) link
rusical was pretty great though, mistress & anetra were so good
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 18 March 2023 20:28 (one year ago) link
Loosey isn't even an interesting villain anymore. And the way she's been overdrawing her top lip has been unflattering and distracting.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Sunday, 19 March 2023 05:32 (one year ago) link
lol agree

honestly they did a great job across the board w the makeovers, the skill level was pretty high!

It was! Good theme for the episode in general
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 25 March 2023 19:49 (one year ago) link
i loved the bibe btw sasha & her teacher, they were like instant besties
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 25 March 2023 20:10 (one year ago) link
VIBE jesus
I hope everyone's blood pressure is OK because Loosey served up a whole heap of salt at the end there.
I'm a little surprised that the teachers gave their full names because given the current state of things I can easily see them getting harassed for being on the show (and I certainly hope I'm wrong there).
― Shartreuse (Leee), Saturday, 25 March 2023 21:12 (one year ago) link
yeah i mean Loosey def got the rough end of the editing/producing stick but she is also deeply deluded & thats why she made for good reality tv
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 25 March 2023 22:38 (one year ago) link
Tired of:
- Mistress's eras- Sasha's confessional gloves- Luxx's confessional hat that makes her look like she's 12.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Sunday, 2 April 2023 01:18 (one year ago) link
tired of SPOILER ending i still love Sasha forever

Yeah this whole week was just kind of pointless.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Sunday, 2 April 2023 01:59 (one year ago) link
Very. Guess they had to fill out a contract.
Meantime, a crossover I did not expect!

Watching the reunion, Poppy and Robin felt like years ago.
― Shartreuse (Leee), Saturday, 8 April 2023 21:54 (one year ago) link
Really did! Enjoyable watch but there were times I was all "Wait that was this season?"
Drag Race Belgique ended its first season the other day -- good winner and the whole thing was very entertaining! Rita Baga made an excellent host for sure. Be nice if there'll be more (still waiting on Drag Race Holland to hopefully come back for a third season...).

yeah relieved it’s almost over and don’t particularly care who wins (i do love sasha and anetra and glad they got the exposure they deserve)
it’s mind boggling that some queens don’t seem to be aware that the reunion ep is one of the biggest opportunities to fix/expand your arc
― scanner darkly, Monday, 10 April 2023 19:16 (one year ago) link
Hahahah quite.
Definitely will be ordering that oral history tomorrow with payday funds. (Granted it's official but even so; Race Chaser gives me all the retrospective dirt that wouldn't be in there.)

surprised irene dubois didn’t have a venmo link under her name chyron - she was really going for it i always find it funny when early exit queens grab for allll the camera time, like even over the finalists
