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

Truth.

yeah I was thinking about that too. I mean look at Tyra.

I'm interested to see how far Milk goes. I still have my eye on Courtney but I don't know if she's as all-that as I want her to be. We'll see.

I hope Gia hangs around if only for the hilariously dumb things that come out of her mouth.

Darienne's legs with whichever twig was sitting on top of her = GENIUS!

I think it was Ben, actually!

Joslyn's 'gasp!' delivery was way funnier than it should have been.

Totally think she's playing the ditz to a tee so far, and hell HELL, it's working.

I hope Gia hangs around if only for the hilariously dumb things that come out of her mouth.

lol I still kinda hate her but can't lie she is unintentionally hilarious.

When Bianca asked Adore what her name was, I thought it'd have been hilarious if Adore replied, "Willam."

Racial approaches have been very ~iffy~ on this show for a while (S3 was difficult for me to watch in large part because of this), and I was thoroughly uncomfortable during the first Bianca/Trinity exchange where B said T should act ghetto.

Mm. It's definitely of note whenever it overtly surfaces, and you have to wonder what isn't said/shown.

On a lighter note, I think we're all underappreciating Gia's moment where she doesn't know how to pronounce DeLorean or what it is. (But then again, she was born in 1988 or 1989, why WOULD she know?)

there were some doozies aside from that

like the whole black and white vs color thing! lool.
and what was the word she said in untucked, gaahh I can't remember but it was hilarious

Quoted upthread by Eric! :-D

"Fish"?

Nah, she totally malapropped out some nonsense word or another.

it was something like "intellectuate" but not that

Hahaha omg that's right, one of the other queens did note it as well. I probably assumed you meant "fish" because it constitutes about 50% of what she sez.

Also, I always lol furiously at the trainwreck performances (like Yara's Winehouse or Lynesha's "French fries"), so Vi's head-in-a-box entertained me to no end.

INTREPRETATE.

INTERPRETATE, even.

yes!

thank you!

Underrated regular element -- RuPaul going arch-bitchy at the end of the Untucked opening credits with some random line before introducing the specific episode trailer.

"Walk it OUT with your CHEVROLEGS!"

Alright I thought the Rusical was briliant ! Lucian did an amazing job and surprisingly so did all the girls. Although Ben was my favorite.
I'm sad to see April go so soon cause she's had some great looks. In past seasons, there are way worse queens that stuck around for much longer.

i still can't stand Adore but damn if she polished her shit up & stopped acting like a 13 year old she could be a showstopper

I was really moved by Laganga's moment with her parents in untucked. Really beautiful. I hate to say it though but her whole tantrum afterwards was just ugh bitch please. They didnt fuck it up, she did. She wouldnt have been happy unless they threw a telethon in her honor

I mean i get it, but that was overkill

Lucien's musical was fab, lots of fun! I thought the girls did a good job with it!

Agreed with about all the above. (Sorry, busy morning!)

Trinity definitely needs to...settle a bit. That's not slow burn, that's just not stepping up. That said, hell of a lip sync for your life, best of the season so far.

And yeah the musical was fun! Courtney and Adore sure can sing, it was kind of a tossup in the end for me. Did like the fake award ceremony camera editing touches there.

Gia Gia Gia. The bit with the photos of kabuki as a kid was really lovely! A little background and a little more depth. But then she doesn't know what the Tonys are and THEN she complains about ignorance in the Untucked? (Unless the editing intentionally left detail out.)

Oh and did we all see that next week is...

SNATCH GAME

Bianca as Judge Judy, Milk (I think) as Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey, Adore as Anna Nicole, this'll be crazy.

it's gonna be awesome!

I think Trinity has a bit of that Jiggly Caliente thing of beating herself before she's even started. Like she's so focused on the 'can't' that she can't see anything else and won't accept any help or support from anyone to get where she could easily be

And the girl needs to speak up for herself - Rupaul knew that the flippers might have been a problem for her, it probably would have helped her a little in the judges eyes if she had said it too

Girl is gorgeous, she just needs a truckload more confidence in herself.

I want Courtenay's beefcake sweatshirt real bad.

And yeah, this season seems crazy front-loaded with acting/talent challenges over runway.

I'm a touch surprised Snatch Game is a little earlier than it normally is.

Yeah. A bigger panel hopefully equals a longer time spent on the actual game.

Also, I too would find it very difficult to, er, perform with Lucian flashing grins at me from offstage.

I haven't watched the Untucked episode yet, where maybe her preggo runway look gets some actual screentime/explanation, but I'm just starting to feel bad for Milk now that nothing she can do seems to be currying favor with the show editors.

omg yeah lucian is cuuuuuuuuuute i love him

April. :( Things have gotten less fishy. :( :( Definitely think that she would've gone farther in previous seasons, when the show put more emphasis on fashion.

Agree w/ Veggggg that Laganja's spotlight grabbing was nagl (what was agl was that runway look, good god). Also agree with Nedrick about Trinity. I mean, for all of her insecurity, she's done well! Like, her acting in the previous episode turned out fine, and so was her singing this episode! Maybe that's just her process: freak out, lash out, turn out.

I do wonder how much of Gia's schtick is a put-on simply to get screentime, esp. considering her defensiveness about getting called ignert. (But then, actually being dumb could also explain said defensiveness.)

loled at Bianca: "OOoh this is getting good, and this time I didn't start it."

it's gonna be awesome!

Doesn't everybody say that every year? And then we get Detox peeing or romper room tawdriness.

ignert looool

yeah Gia's kabuki was really interesting, kinda warmed up to her a little bit

Ha, nice.

Cannot wait for tonight.

I only got one wrong! :D

16/20, as a straight male I now feel so oppressed.

OMFG THAT EYELASH.

i died

She was bringing out my OCD something fierce.

can we go over there right now & give lil Trinity a big hug? that girl's low confidence is killing me every week

Ganga's hallway moment on untucked

bwahaha. if *gia* is telling you to "glue that bottom lash", you are backsliding

those two are like a weird drag arsenic & old lace

Great snatch game. Adore was killing me with her Anna Nicole, wee bit bummed that she didn't win. Ben was great as Maggie though. Kinda wonder how much longer the old-lady schtick will hold up

what's to become of milk? is she gonna re-re-invent herself, or stick to her guns? tough road ahead imo

Yeah that was a crazy evening. And Trinity dropped a bit of a bombshell there too. Liked her mom, she seemed cool!

Oh Laganja is driving me a little nuts now. Still she deserved to win the lip sync there, but I'm kinda sad to lose Gia's goofy ass ways, I dunno. At least she can't enable Laganja any more!

Top three WERE the top three, Adore is kinda the scrapper here time after time when you think about it. And I think Bianca's a little miffed at losing to Ben there but damn Ben pulled it out, and that was a great dress, so.

I KNEW someone would come out in a suit but I blanked and didn't realize it was obviously going to be Milk. Of course. (Santino's point about trying out full on glamour is well taken.) I like how you could tell Gia was really pissed about Milk skating through, even the usual 'if you didn't like that I sashayed away go bitch about it' promo moment seemed pretty sharp.

Kinda like people predicted -- that first of the two premiere teams is decimated now. The last three losses were all from that team.

And next week is a hip hop crew throwdown? Oh this could be really good or reallllly bad.
