Kennedy's kinda surprised me this whole time. (In a good way!)

Apparently I'm always going to be a little bit biased against girls with default boring runway looks. She's likable and can clearly lip sync the house down, but ... meh.
(Her John Waters performance, I'll admit, was impressive.)
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 13 May 2015 04:14 (eight years ago) link
Anyone else hoping that that was Shangela under the HK costume?
What was it that Violet yelled out after the lip sync? I didn't like Kennedy's performance, btw -- way too much manic/desperate energy for that song.

(Tho, if I'm to be totally honest, I think everyone's quite literally sleeping on Pearl's comedic skills. I had to rewind her Madonna Hello Kitty monologue three times to get it all from laughing so hard.)
Same, not just for this week but quite a few times this season. Her Snatch Game is criminally underrated.
If not for Katya's elimination, this could've been my favorite season.
― Madison Dumbbarfer (Leee), Wednesday, 13 May 2015 04:32 (eight years ago) link
Also was underwhelmed by Violet's runway, definitely preferred Pearl this week.

When did you know that drag was something you really could, and should, do?I think it was the first time I did it as Katya. I was in art school, and I hosted my senior video show as the character. The makeup and the costume were absolutely terrible, but the character was fully formed and there. It got such a great reception. I was gonna try to go to grad school to teach foreign language. A philosophy teacher of mine was at the show, and she's like, 'No, you've gotta do this. This is really cool.' She's like this Yugoslavian, intelligentsia, freedom-fighting philosophy woman. And for her to say, 'You should do drag?' I think she would be so happy for me now. If not for that, I'd probably be dead, in jail or a French teacher in Sudbury, Mass.

we need to make her president or something
seeing raven & raja loose it over her Hello Kitty Russian best friend character made me so happy, she is really something else & i hope she does amazing things

Untucked was at turns elegiac, silly, and heartbreaking.

liked when katya thanked the camera guy for panning down her catsuit

I thought that was a very real moment too.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Friday, 15 May 2015 20:31 (eight years ago) link
Loved that in the RuView.

well i was not expecting that elimination. i watched at a bar last night and the crowd sounded as surprised as i was
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Tuesday, 19 May 2015 13:15 (eight years ago) link
I didn't expect it either since Ru kept her many times when she had done worse than last night, but I think her speech condoned her.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:25 (eight years ago) link
*ba dum tish* Only just caught up with the episode myself and yeah, surprised but not overwhelmed surprised, I guess. Still, another odd decision in a season full of them.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 02:02 (eight years ago) link
This show has a way of setting you up to root for an elimination and then, right before it comes, making you second guess it.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 04:12 (eight years ago) link
Shoulda known, tho, when they had a 4-way lip sync that they were contorting to engineer a way to allow for a Kennedy dismissal. Ain't no way she would have walked after a head-to-head lip sync.
Also, woo, finally a super shady, near old school ep of Untucked.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 04:15 (eight years ago) link
It is a little interesting that they've set it up that the only one going into the finale that didn't take the high road is the one everyone is assuming will win it all.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 04:19 (eight years ago) link
Ginger telling Violet the fans wouldn't want a bitch to win was the most ironic thing ever and shows she really has no idea how she comes across. I don't know how the fans will react if/when she wins.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 05:10 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I don't know what the deal with the edit they've been giving Ginger lately. Bianca could be cutting and you would still never stop rooting for her. Ginger, otoh, I'm wavering.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 13:32 (eight years ago) link
I havent watched untucked yet but I was really uncomfortable with the way Ginger came for Violet in the ep. Like, do you really need to put her on blast to make yourself feel good?
That whole thing with the photos and what would you say to yourself was ;_;
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 15:16 (eight years ago) link
That's the moment I'm convinced saved Pearl.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 15:20 (eight years ago) link
I agree
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 16:43 (eight years ago) link
Especially after, once again, she turned in a C- lip sync.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 17:09 (eight years ago) link
(It looked like this year's choreography piece of the video shoot was way easier than usual.)
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 17:10 (eight years ago) link
I thought that too! No hair-eography this time. Seemed very tame over prev seasons

I especially love how the film stock went from all the gorgeous precision of the past months to this trashy look -- and perfectly starting right where the last one ended too. Genius.

she gives me an amy sedaris vibe with her physicality & natural improv skillsand I love how she is happy as a clam to get ugly
