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

may I call you Jiggly?

I kinda assume that Dita/RuPaul's ignored urging were added in post-production, based on nothing really.

I mean ... My. God.

phi-phi makes me want to call my therapist. how she didn't leave in a bodybag is beyond me

there has never been a queen with more issues, more open hate, more blind competitive fury than that girl

I didn't mind her...

xxpost dita/ru moment def not a post-production add-on imo, i just watched the ep & it didn't play like that at all

INTERESTING. Just now posted via the show's FB page:

We wanted to thank the community for sharing their concerns around a recent segment and the use of the term 'she-mail' on Drag Race.
Logo has pulled the episode from all of our platforms and that challenge will not appear again.
Furthermore, we are removing the 'You've Got She-Mail' intro from new episodes of the series.
We did not intend to cause any offense, but in retrospect we realize that it was insensitive. We sincerely apologize.

a little bit more detail here

Oh dear at Joslyn's prep. That is all. For now.

That was NOT the bottom two I was expecting.

sorta weird that they booted trinity just as her redemption narrative was getting going but she's been pretty up and down and there's no way they were gonna let adore go just yet

joslyn probably offers a bit more friction amongst the girls so that might've been a producer's decision

Maybe. Still pretty damn weird, especially if we're talking Joslyn's big biff of a question plus that outfit, which Trinity wiped the floor with.

yeah trinity's runway look was incredible

i feel like joslyn's prob going home next week anyway so it might not even end up mattering

Next week does look fun -- makeover challenge, wedding challenge, NPH!

Am wondering more and more, though -- a lot of the regular challenges are coming a little...early? Noticed this before, how Snatch Game had ten people, the reading mini challenge was a touch early too, and now this, which usually comes when there are five people left, not six. This is all feeding into my sense that they're going to do something a little different for the end of the challenges/final winner scenario.

Meantime, Courtney now makes it four who have won twice, along with Ben, Bianca and Adore.

RichJuz on the whole shemail thing

good stuff

Dela was robbed.

ok i legit cannot stand joslyn, i've had all i can stands etc

she stuck some feathers in her head and called it macaroni

joslyn should have had to lipsync

nothing adore did was worse than joslyn's abortion bullshit

What. Just. Happened.

If last week I came to the conclusion that this season was a confluence of prior tried-and-true types pitted against each other, now we see the result of these narratives clashing and all sense flying out the window. What other way to explain Trinity getting dismissed at this point in her storyline? What other way to explain answering Joslyn's extremely touching and genuine Untucked moment last week by casting her as the show's Tatianna (not overtly villainous but also not as seasoned and poised to send Pandora/BenDeLa packing next week)? And has anyone else coasted as far by (predominately) hanging out in the background as Darienne?

Dela was robbed

As edited, it was a true dead-even sitch, though Visage's objection makes me wonder.

Both even brought out their best in$$$pector gadget drag.

that lipsync was badASS

And WHEN is Ru gonna bring back the dunk tank?!

I loved the concept of dela's runway look but the actual execution of the costume looked kinda Michael's to me, a bit too artsycraftsy construction paper

but i'm mean :)

I love Joslyn but yeah she should've been in the bottom. I have to agree with Courtney that she's become this season's Dida Ritz. She's sweet but lacking too much polish to have made it this far.

Dela was robbed.

I think it was very close but I would've given it to Ben too. She was an INSECT !! Courtney looked more like an angel than a bird imo.

(x-post) I thought it looked very professionnal !

Speaking of mean, I had to rewind "a meaty tuck" a few times.

Furthermore, it took me until this week to realize Joslyn's voice is exactly the same as the ones from all the tracheotomy patients speaking through their voice boxes in the QuitPlan commercial currently in rotation on logo.tv

And has anyone else coasted as far by (predominately) hanging out in the background as Darienne?

She's probably been kept around to fill in the bitchy queen spot after Gia was eliminated. Her elephant costume was the first time she's had an interesting look.

darienne needs to go. she's just like a mean albatross hanging around the show's neck

ok i legit cannot stand joslyn, i've had all i can stands etc

Sharon Needles posted this on FB today: old episode of Rikki Lake featuring Pandora Boxx & our very own Darienne Lake

Nice find!

Meantime, a fun, not too academe-speak NPR article here exploring themes of identity and projection: "Drag Is Raw: Wrestlers, Queens And Gender As Performance Art"

http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2014/04/16/303652716/drag-is-raw-wrestlers-queens-and-gender-as-performance-art

But there is a WEIRD glaring absence, namely no mention of the Season 4 pro wrestling challenge episode. Which given Sharon Needles is mentioned is...odd?
