'...and DON'T *bleep* IT UP!' -- the RuPaul's Drag Race thread

lol @ the edit, "I AM A THREAT" *snores* hee hee

I hope she goes all the way.

Same here!

I completely forgot about the narcolepsy.

And she survived so yay for that. Ivy deserved the win though -- the only other real singer from what I could tell but the dress was inspired.

Gotta say that the Alyssa and her dad moment in Untucked was a heavy emotional hit.

Didn't she have immunity?

Ha, true re: Jinkx and immunity, I completely forgot about that. She didn't slack, though!

They didn't mention immunity this week. I thought Alyssa was the last one to have it.

Yeah, they didn't mention anything about immunity for Ivy this week. It must just cycle out at a certain point.

The moment Jade started talking about her past and tearing up in the to-the-camera interview footage, I knew she was toast. They'd been building her up as the cutest little snake in the grass for awhile now, so the gear shift tipped their hand.

Also, I've seen a couple blog recaps point this out (A/V I think?), but I'm pretty damned certain Alyssa and Coco are partially fabricating their bad blood.

I'm glad I found this thread! I love Jinkx and am watching Grey Gardens in her honour right now. Most of the rest of them, however..

Felt sort of bad for the queens, having to freestyle to that dirge.

Almost as sorry as I am they are forced to drink Absolute cran every week.

e

Yeah the song = no great shakes.

The Pointer Sisters were frickin' awesome guest judges though! Bring 'em back anytime!

Love that LaToya is logging her third appearance as a guest judge and still looks afraid of everyone.

I'm afraid of her! That nose/chin combination could cut steel.

Meantime it was also nice to actually hear the Death Becomes Her bit.

Seriously. Jinkx is my no-contest favorite in this cycle.

I'm glad Jade's gone. That cute thing got old quick. And that hairy wtf getup. Bleh.

Jinkx was cool but Ivy def eclipsed everyone. She's impressing me more and more.

Holy shit @ Detox's surgery list. What the fuck would it do to you have silicon *muscles*. Jeeezus lady.
Her cleavage is weird, it looks like an ass crack. But her actual ass crack is lovely, lol

I love Jinkx but I am a tiny bit worried. Michelle really is out for her.

Holy shit @ Detox's surgery list.

First thing I thought was all of that but NOT THE NOSE??

Hahah.

Jinkx may just wear Michelle down, we'll see. Ivy did step up for sure after last week! Like 'em both, really, but Jinkx I'll make time for.

My theory is that CoCo will make the top three by default, meaning: if she ends up in the bottom 2 at any point in the future, she'll kill at lip syncing once again. So...she's going all the way.

I agree re: Coco. Lip syncing's her superpower, no doubt. Honestly as batshit crazy as she is, I'd love to see her Janet show. I bet she kills it.

Michelle really is out for her.

Not exactly sure if Michelle has much nice to say about any of these girls.

I think in the history of judging on this show, it's MUCH more damning for a contestant if Santino is the one calling you out on the runway. Michelle always has her favorites but she's always been a tough critic.

And let's face it: she HAS a point. Jinkx is supremely talented and funny and insightful and it's been great watching her character develop this season, but the LOOK could be elevated for SURE.

Little Edie does indeed use a magnifying glass a lot in GG.. Good work, Jinkx! Had to turn the movie off though, it was too depressing for me. I do agree Jinkx could be a bit more glamorous. Not sure if I can ever look at Ivy the same way after that terrible Marilyn - the Snatch Game means so much to me.

Am I am mistaken in thinking that the reason her name is pronounced IVEEEEE WIINNNTTEERRRSSS was because of the way Latoya introduced Ivy onstage somewhere? Did I miss them taking advantage of this glorious opportunity in this episode?

ivy's marilyn was unforgivable

It was despicable. Ru sorta confused her by telling her to be a smart dumb blonde.

there was nothing marilyn about it besides the beauty mark, least of all that horrible ice dancing costume

The part that was edited out but was shown on the Logo website where she tries to wear her tiara around her neck was kind of funny.

tbh i don't really think coco has much of a chance for the final 3. she's good for a lip synch, yeah, but she's had 2 high energy dance songs versus a couple self-conscious queens. all it takes is a broadway number to take her outside her comfort zone and she's toast.

Hey New Yorkers

This is actually a great lineup!

Featuring Michelle Visage (head judge on the show), Pandora Boxx (Season 2), Carmen Carrera (Season 3), Mimi Imfurst (Season 3), Alaska Thunderfuck (Season 5), Jinkx Monsoon (Season 5) and Ivy Winters (Season 5). Note: lineup subject to change.

I can't deal with Mimi. Theater kids are the worst.

Yeah, I've been filling time between new EPs by catching up, and started with season 3. Mimi should've been knocked out of the running on day 1.

Mimi is the weakest link in that bunch, yeah. Manila Luzon would have been perfect.

I'm halfway through and had to spoil it for myself by checking the Wikipedia page to assure myself that the one I thought should clearly win actually did. I was right.

Hey, it happens. (And yes, deservedly so.)

It's not that I don't like some of the other S3 queens. It's just that I'm basically in love with Raja, in and out of drag.

Rewatching it the other week knowing the outcome made it seem like a royal progression for her throughout the season. Won the opening challenge, along the way, and boom at the end.

How many votes would an ILX poll of the houses (e.g. Extravaganza, Labeija, Ninja, Overness, Pendarvis) get?

wow I didn't even know about houses til just now

I got some learning to do

I just watched Paris is Burning yesterday too. It's been a draggy week here.

Paris is Burning is emerging as an annual view for me, alongside Do the Right Thing.

brb gonna watch

Yup, watch it immediately, VG!

eric there was a poll on 77 and house of ninja won hands down

The all time "I want to go to there" movie.

Re: that janked poll, I have one thing to say -- sashay, rePOLL.
