"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.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:49 (nine years ago) link
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

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!

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!
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 06:33 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 14:34 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I didn't get the Adore/Laganja thing either.

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?
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 16:33 (nine years ago) link
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

Okay last one
Nice long interview with Queen Bianca, where they mention that part of the pre-taping included a shared crown scenario with Adore & Bianca (!)

Adore in a Misfits shirt? Life is wonderful.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 01:24 (nine years ago) link
And you know I was *wondering* if they'd do a joint crown thing. Hadn't heard any rumors of it.
that would've been kinda cool
though it would have been weird for Courtney
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 01:41 (nine years ago) link
If this had happened, it would've involved Laganja.

Really disappointed that during the wedding, Joslyn didn't tear off her gown to reveal the nine white bikinis underneath.
xpost I'm just getting started!

Oh: Jinkx's makeup was a little, let's say, minimalist.
― Call the Doctorb, the B is for Brownstein (Leee), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 04:55 (nine years ago) link
There was something odd about the headpiece & the wig, it looked like it might have need to be built up with more wig? idk. made her face look very small
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 05:04 (nine years ago) link
the dress was neat though
I think she was going for a Statue of Liberty thing, with the green dress and the spiky crown.
PS the Alyssa's Secrets with Shangela are hysterical.

I kind of agree with the wire piece, but it was probably the most fun finale they've had so I don't really care?
I sort of wish the finale was more of a two parter project runway kind of deal where they have longer to put together something for a challenge and really show their own brand of drag but it's not going to keep me up at night
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 22:21 (nine years ago) link
Yeah same here. Also, let's be frank, the ONLY reason they just don't go ahead and do it live is because of the potential for fuck-ups and raunch.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 22:24 (nine years ago) link
totally
though who doesn't want to see that, let's be honest
