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

Bologna!

Nice New Orleans newspaper story on Bianca

http://www.nola.com/tv/index.ssf/2014/05/new_orleans_native_bianca_del.html

And that in turn links back to a 2002 story by the same writer about her

http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/double-trouble/Content?oid=1240467

Which has this great bit:

One part Carol Burnett, one part Bob Mackie ("my idol!"), one part Don Rickles ("He made me pee"), but only a small sliver RuPaul ("not my cup of tea")

But which could also explain the opening of the new story too!

^^^

but I wont cry if its Adore

I love Adore too, and I think she's going to have a great career but imo it would be a bit insulting to Bianca if she won. I think Bianca really really deserves it. She just kicked ass the whole season, challenge after challenge. She wasn't even in the bottom three once. She definitely won the Race.

This finale reminds me a bit of Chad vs Sharon, the seasoned queen vs the fresh loveable new talent. Except this time around Bianca was 100 times more interesting than Chad, while Adore is not yet as polished and fully-developped as Sharon was.

Are you all aware of Sharon's fondness for throwing around the n-word?

Yes; Sharon is kind of awful it turns out

I kind of heard about that. Is she doing it to be controversial? She seems more intelligent than that. She was hilarious last night. Alaska and her were definitely the funniest.

I never did get the full details beyond the fact that it sounds like some weird misunderstanding. (Which, of course, it easily couldn't be.)

That must be the "stupid" component of her character she was always pointing out.

Anyway, a little something

I thought we would see some sort of finished product from last weeks improv with Ru. What was all that for ?

for lols? idk

Ha, this is fun -- a random rewatch of the intro/audition episode from Season 3, which has a slew of short snippets from various applicants among the actual competitors' tapes, turned up a familiar face -- Joslyn!

awesome

Guess who.

nice

Just caught up with the recap episode and it was a clutch decision to bring back all those previous season queens for commentary the entire time, "VH1 Presents I Love The Drag Queens" tho it played.

Courtney's getting down...

Taylor Swift?

Well Adore's having fun:

April looking great there.

Hahah

lololol I totally believed you that April had just dressed appropriately for the event. Sheesh.

Ru is gonna be on Maron's WTF podcast on Monday, fyi

"No really Marc, there's this thing called dance music and electronics."

"So who are your guys?"

I hope they get deep into it, Ru is fascinating to me

Ru was great on WTF -- I swear to god Ru is maybe the only person who can do this, but like 90% of everything he says is mashed up metaphors from self-help books and I would tune it out at straight up nonsense bullshit within 5 minutes if it was anyone else...but somehow I still want to hear everything he has to say, no matter what!

and he drilled down pretty hard with Maron on the things that hold you back from enjoying yourself etc, it was p cool

Cool, might listen to it later before the finale.

oh and he was playing nice, saying 'f-word' etc and then Maron asked him at the end about the word 'tranny' and hoooooly shit he went on a RANT

It was like Season 1 Tammy rant

It was kind of O_O

Haha cool

anyway Bianca posted a pic of her finale dress yesterday on Instagram and I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE FINALE

Yeah -- about to go off the Net here for the next few hours so I can be surprised by the West Coast broadcast!

magnoselia

The LOOK on Michelle Visage's face when they cut to her when Laganja was Laganjaing. I live.

The reintroduction of the top three song also ruled like hell.

And the winner, well, who else in the end!

great stuff

hooray!!!

Loved Ben getting Miss Congeniality; if she'd been top three then Joslyn but since not, had to be Ben. (And I rather enjoyed Ru both noting general audience lust for Milk in boy mode and the protests when Ben left.)

No direct family mentions for Bianca still, I guess -- or maybe it's just him in the end? Or else the family's very private or etc. I still find it very interesting than in a show where, for all the 'we get to choose our families' rhetoric, immediate family of one form or another is so heavily emphasized (thus the Darienne redemption moment, Joslyn and hubby's moms, etc.). So having it be Lola and her mom solely as the Bianca family support stands out a bit.

Definite odd moment for me was Adore/Laganja watching the Untucked thing, because I couldn't get the exact tone.

Jiggy Caliente! Looking good! Ivy was a bit wobbly there but hey, stilts.

I also like how ALL the queens get glammed up and got up in full for these finales, it shifts from being under-pressure efforts to something else.

Meantime I've seen a few photos emerge from the actual finale party in Las Vegas and presumably video to follow. If they hold it there next year I am seriously thinking of going.

Yeah I didn't get the Adore/Laganja thing either.

Reaction video is super cute

http://www.logotv.com/video/misc/1045243/rupauls-drag-race-season-6-winners-reaction.jhtml

Even though I was more than lukewarm on Courtney, I really liked the chemistry of the 3 of them together as a group

Yeah it was fun! Loved that reaction video. Adore's shoes!

so can Bianca get her own show now? or an HBO special?

Guess we'll see! I'm actually looking forward to Adore's album there.

me too!

I wish I could find a screenshot of little Lola's face when Bianca won. It was priceless! Standing up on her chair all O_O
