otm

pearl's dancing: still terrible in that video

Just watched the recap episode.

1. Am I just exhausted or was that incredibly boring?
2. What the hell does "Come through" mean?

3. Did Sharon change her voice as well as her face?

come through means YASS QUEEEN

Sharon is LePore-ing herself, for better or worse

Oh dear.

yeah, it's kind of a bummer

when raven was on ru's podcast a while ago, she said that sharon had said to her at a show once "i dont get why it takes you hours to beat your face, my makeup looks just as good as yours"
* she didnt come right out & say it was sharon but michelle guessed in like nanoseconds

the more I know about sharon since drag race, the less i like. which sucks bcz she was so rad

And now, helping you help yourself. If you need it.

Gia's makeup game stepped up (i.e. she hired some makeup artists).

Katya, living well.

Am glad no one has updated this thread yet. I am forcing myself to stay off social media for the day until I can watch the finale this evening.

boring show and unsatisfying conclusion, though i guess this season deserved an undeserving winner

i didn't find it boring at all!

A take on it all

http://themuse.jezebel.com/what-the-hell-happened-on-rupauls-drag-race-1708447405?rev=1433259408439

I hated Violet early on but I don't have a problem at all with her winning. Couldnt really say why except that Violet is young and still has the potential to become even more than she is; her fashion vocabulary is ridiculous & i have really grown to love her confidence & posi vibes in recent episodes.

I think after Bianca everyone was sure Ginger would take it but Ginger doesnt have the kindness of spirit that Bianca has, and I dunno that she has potential for growth? she feels fully formed to me, and i dont think ru necessarily is looking for that, talented though she may be

I'm prob way off base idk

And in what fuckin universe is KENNEDY Miss Congeniality?? Congenial my ass
She is amazing and talented and fierce as fuck but congenial she ain't

there was no way we were going to get a comedy queen crowned for the 3rd consecutive year. i pretty much stopped caring after katya was eliminated but i'm not at all surprised at violet's win.

i mean, she's gorgeous, young, and confident with a strong runway game but not much else. see also: tyra sanchez

yep

I loved the finale and laughed a lot!

I too had lost interest after Katya was eliminated, but of the top 3 I was definitely team Violet. She just has so much natural talent at such a young age it's very impressive. I thought her performance last night was the best and suggests she has more to offer than runway, as did her growth througout the season. The crowd at the bar I was at was definitely on her side too.

Ginger should've had this in the bag but really burned herself in the last couple of episodes. It seems that even though she's a pageant queen, she's the one who couldn't handle this competition.

i'm not sure violet has a talent beyond "looking fierce" which is a nice talent but traditionally the winners of this show have been done a lot more than that

raja is basically fierce face face body face runway, tyra was 100% runway; even bebe is runway

i think the expectation that they are always going to be sharon/jinx/bianca is understandable, but i personally dont want every queen to be a one woman broadway show

and ginger was not the "all that" that everyone acts like she is

& even for being a pure runway queen, violet's aesthetic is so boring

irl reaction

also if anyine cares they just dumped a boatload of untucked bonus clips on the youtube channel

I'd say that Pearl was ahead of the game in overall personality, but every once in awhile, the ruthless overachiever has to be given the crown. This final 3 was basically a dead heat, so.

And I keep having to question how much of my love for Pearl was based, as per the Bianca read in the recap, on how fucking hot she was as a boy.

lol

violet's new single is... very bad.

the house in the video belongs to a friend of a friend of mine!

i thought it was ok. not great

Loved this season, but Violet winning is the most wtf since the Other Tyra. (BTW Logo TV you kind of spoiled me by having a thumbnail of Violet getting crowned on the video page.) Do not at all get the reaction to Ging Is Mean movement, and I know that all reality shows boil down to popularity contests, but I don't think any of the critical things Ginger said over the course of the season was beyond the pale or at all remarkable.

The solo lip syncs were a terrible idea, I just watched the backup dancers most of the time.

solo lip-sunch would have been worth it if ru had cleared the rights to songs people actually knew & enjoyed, rather than using original songs nobody will ever care about.

yeah the songs were a bit weird

SPEAKING of songs.
