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

otm

First off thank you for a prime Moz/MST3K reference there, Eric.

Yeah Milk...I wonder a touch. This is one of those loaded roads to go down but given in boy life he's a clearly tall/strikingly good looking sort I get a little sense he's gone through life in a happier fashion than others and as a result his "Well I'll show THEM" moves might be a little more self-amusement than "gotta MAKE it!" Now having said that next week we'll get some hyper horrible backstory...

Speaking of which: poor Ben! I'm over three times as old as she was when she lost her mom and I'm definitely not ready to see mine go any time soon. I mean you compare that (and Trinity almost losing her mom) to Laganga's snit fits and I'm all "Count yer blessings, blondie."

interesting take on Milk, Ned...hmmm

And this is Milk's bf: music artist JbDubs.

Yup, she's got it good !

O_O dayum

I thought Milk's boyfriend was in ABT? (Or could that be the same person?)

I don't know but to fully appreciate how gorgeous and hot he is I really recommend that you watch his videos on youtube, especially "Dirty Mouth" and "I Hate My Job". Milk also has cameos in some of them.

thank u

Lol is Bianca rolling her eyes at me or gagging at JbDubs ?

Nice bit on Alaska here
http://thegaybiography.com/post/81205921193/justin-alaska-los-angeles-more-i-was

i didn't know that Alaska & Sharon broke up :(

Courtney on fire this episode.

Her face is beautiful, but I don't think she has the body to do naked drag like Carmen or Willam did. It breaks the illusion.

Still in the Untucked here. Surprisingly mellow main episode, I thought?

Two full episodes next week, BTW -- I will be a wreck at work on Tuesday.

Courtney does have a very square, waistless man body. She was very, very funny, though, especially on Untucked.

Milk leaving before Laganja and Trinity was kind of a surprise. But although I liked her first couple of looks, she wasn't really bringing much to the show. And Trinity killed the lipsynch.

yeah i was surprised milk went home but for whatever interesting things she did on the runway it never transferred to the challenges where she was always mediocre or worse

and yeah trinity was really good at lip sync, it makes a bit more understandable how she always uses that as a crutch when she fails at singing/acting/rapping/being funny

adore is incredibly annoying but she's been really good in the last two challenges... she was amazing in this one in fact :(

That's the thing, she's been consistently good for the past few weeks. Unlike a fair amount of the already departed she can back all the talk up. (In comparison, Laganga starting to yelp more and more about how things aren't breaking her way even when they're 'supposed' to says it all.)

laganja is far and away my least favorite remaining contestant

Darienne not too far behind for me. Girl is getting shady, and not in a funny Bianca Del Rio way.

Bianca not winning the reading mini challenge was like a deliberate slap to her face.

hahaha

The only thing that could've made that gif more otm would be to have Gang doing death drop after death drop after death drop in an endless loop of drag cliche.

I think it's Darienne who delivers that line that was in the intro to the first episode of the season growling about how she'll show versatility when Michelle does something and "Santino starts wearing a dress!" The editing made it seem like it was delivered directly to the judges and they didn't show who it actually was -- it's probably more of an Untucked grouse or something -- but she sure didn't sound like she was having fun.

The insecurity parade between Trinity and Laganja is a, wait for it, major DRAG on this season. Trinity looked fine as hell on the runway, though. Thing with her is that she's rarely as bad as she expects to be in these performances (excepting her rap).

I'm not getting a bittercakes vibe from Darienne, even in that mini-confrontation with Ben.

When Michelle wears a turtle neck lol (x-post)

Ben looked even more hella like Michelle when he was wearing his hip hop costume.

I wonder if he would've played her in snatch game if Sharon hadn't already done it (brilliantly).

OMG Alaska interviews Gia!

I was a little behind this week, finally caught up. yay!

I have definitely turned a corner on Adore, I think she's great and I'm so glad she won...she was so on point with her rap game.

Darienne's starting to show her true colors and she is not a very nice person imo. But I dunno if Ben is as sweetness and light as she's making herself out to be.

Can I just say that one of the things I love about the Lipsync for your Life challenge is the way that Michelle always sings along to all the songs. I like that about her. Oh and I lol'd at her whole 'TRACK NINE ON THE BODYGUARD SOUNDTRACK FYI'

oh and I was a bit sad to see Milk go but it wasn't heartbreaking. I kinda think that as shitty as Trinity is at almost everything else, she'll never go home while she has to lipsync. That she can do.

Coco and to a lesser extent Alyssa slayed in lipsyncs, though.

true

I'm not too bothered by Darienne, but for those who are, here's some schadenfreude for you:

Love the filial bianca-adore dynamic tbh, both are my picks to be finalists. ben also likely, imho.

also adore's walk on the runway this week is one of the best walks (if not looks) of all time, loved it so much, that runway hasn't been pummeled so since raja iirc

I'm not too bothered by Darienne, but for those who are, here's some schadenfreude for you:

Thank you. I really think she should've been in the bottom instead of Milk. Her rap sucked and her runway look was boring. The judges always say they want to see versatility but apparently it doesn't apply to her. At least Milk tried something different.

I guess the producers saw more opportunity in creating drama *yawn* by keeping her.

Agreed with the idea of Bianca/Adore/Ben in the final three -- not that it will be for sure but that's looking more and more damned likely. (Bianca at least is a shoo-in unless something REALLY weird happens.)

Meantime, Alaska, Pandora and Jinkx say hi dere:

Red's a good look for Pandora.

I loved that thing that Adore said in one of the cutaways about Bianca will do stuff to make you want to hug her but she'll be all 'fuck off' if you try to

<3

LeRoo otm, I didn't feel like Milk was anywhere near as bad as Darienne in the video, and Milk's runway getup was no great shakes but Darienne looked pretty off the rack
*shrug*

I'm not really into Adore (and kinda not seeing what everyone else is seeing in her), but early in the episode where she cracked herself up was very endearing.

*sigh* TWO episodes tonight plus Untuckeds for both, there is no way I'm going to make it through all of them.

YOU BETTAH WERK

Some wine and Ben and Jerry's might help...

HA I KNEW IT.

No wonder they're doing two episodes tonight.

And good lord this second episode is starting out with ALL the claws out.

My dumb DVR is recording both Untuckeds tomorrow (ffuuuu) so I get all my catfighting tomorrow lol

also I'm gonna steal Adore's "Fuck oooffff. Fuckallthewayoff."
