Yes !! While I wait I've been rewatching all the Seasons with my bf who hadn't seen any of them and it's been so much fun!! So many amazing queens, creative challenges, jaw-dropping looks, fun personnalities, hilarious quotes, and fierce lip-synchs! Needless to say he's just as hooked as I am.

Wouldn't RuPaul's Christmas Ball from 1993 actually be the "first-ever drag themed holiday special"?
― cory artangel (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 1 December 2015 22:12 (eight years ago) link
Yeah I thought that too.

I see Acid Betty is following in Sharon Needles's Project Runway footsteps.
― Sofialo Ren (Leee), Tuesday, 2 February 2016 18:18 (eight years ago) link
Based on the Meet the queens on Logo's website, my favorites so far are Bob The Drag Queen, Dax Exclamationpoint, and Thorgy Thor.

What brought these vivacious vixens together? We don’t want to spoil it, but we will say it has to do with the first challenge of Season 8’s premiere episode
As a friend said on FB, Quarter Quell?
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:23 (eight years ago) link
Oh Tyra... :(
― La Lechazunga (Leee), Wednesday, 24 February 2016 19:25 (eight years ago) link
Raja looks amazing as always. Wish Raven was there for that ep.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 24 February 2016 23:03 (eight years ago) link
raven just carries herself like a winner. i fully understand why tyra won but i am glad that raven is so fucking classy that i completely forget tyra
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 27 February 2016 03:30 (eight years ago) link
Loved the first episode. Lot's of great personalities. I can already remember most of them off the top of my head. Makes me excited about the new season!
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 04:51 (eight years ago) link
I am sooooo feeling Bob the Drag Queen. Like, in all aspects. And Acid Betty omggg. Loving these grown New York queens, basically. Fuck yes.
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 05:07 (eight years ago) link
Derek Barry didn't show terribly well in untucked... and Bob is packin a healthy amount of competitive shade.
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 05:09 (eight years ago) link
is derek barry the right name? britney. whatever her name was
Derrick Barry I think. He did better than I thought he would in the challenge though. I mean it was simple, but I didn't expect him to have humor.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 05:22 (eight years ago) link
And yes, Bob is god. With Kim Chi and Thorgy as my holy trinity so far.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 05:24 (eight years ago) link
Yeah catching up on everything here. Bob is pretty damn hilarious, just want him to kill the looks a hair more (not that he can't but even so). Kim is freakin' hilarious and I have soft spots for Naomi and Chi Chi too, so far.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 9 March 2016 05:42 (eight years ago) link
Kim is adorable, looking forward to more if her
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 05:56 (eight years ago) link
I didn't watch Untucked yet but Bob and Kim Chi are my jam rn, I SQUEALED when it showed the bored-dazed photo shoot "best shot"
― police patrol felt the smell of smoke and found that goat burns (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 13:38 (eight years ago) link
also lol @ tugging hard on the heartstrings w/ Kim's parents for what will inevitably be like a super gut-wrenching Untucked at some point
How did Bob get his first name? I missed that part.

"Big ole' bottom" iirc

YOU GUYS
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 15 March 2016 05:55 (eight years ago) link
It felt a bit set up, but it was so deserved!!
― LeRooLeRoo, Tuesday, 15 March 2016 14:20 (eight years ago) link
yeah, suuuuper deserved
but def set up, i agree
i thought the contrast between the two teams performances was pretty stunning, even with dax's awkard giraffe realness. chi-chi's team as a group totally killed it
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 15 March 2016 16:32 (eight years ago) link
I was going to say, however much of a setup it was...if you're going to do, you know, THAT song, kill the damn thing.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 March 2016 16:58 (eight years ago) link
they both lipsynced like it was bubblegum dreampop. it's a strong, defiant song! it's a goddamn anthem whether you like it or not. You need to stomp that shit out like Adore would
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 15 March 2016 17:02 (eight years ago) link
I am enjoying this season a lot more than last season. I dunno if it's the influx of ny queens or the level of talent or what, but i'm diggin it
want a spinoff series where acid betty, thorgy & bob just spill the tea to camera forever
raja said on her commentary for logo that thorgy looked like a ceramics teacher out of drag & i loled so hard
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 02:09 (eight years ago) link
I am loving this season too so far. My only complaint would be all the strobelights during the runway which make it pretty much impossible to see the looks until they actually get critiqued.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 16 March 2016 04:34 (eight years ago) link
omg yes. especially since Logo is still standard def
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 04:57 (eight years ago) link
It's definitely a fun season for sure, and with the curveball now in place already, bring on whatever is next!
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 March 2016 02:10 (eight years ago) link
lmao thorgy's adam duritz-ass dreads are so fn wack but i love them. Also that had to have been set up in some capacity but idk maybe saved until the first truly mediocre lip-sync? they both really sucked
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 20 March 2016 00:56 (eight years ago) link
OMG "ACID BERRY" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 20 March 2016 01:01 (eight years ago) link
Thorgy showed up this week! As did Chi Chi. Acid Butty's runway was remarkable.
Looooooved the cuts to the unimpressed judges during the lipsync!
Guesses for the returning queen are Katya or if the queen arrives in a box, what's-her-face.
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Sunday, 20 March 2016 23:48 (eight years ago) link
Also I thought Betty was a lot taller? Wasn't she close to 7 feet when she was on Runway?
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Sunday, 20 March 2016 23:49 (eight years ago) link
Finally, Chi Chi and Kim need to become a couple so that we can call them Kim Chi Chi.
― Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad Poos (Leee), Sunday, 20 March 2016 23:50 (eight years ago) link
New episode is online somehow, for those who can't wait till tomorrow to know who Ru was calling. Haven't seen it yet!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo0EtDdQQQA

Sorry, I tried not to embed it and it did the opposite. No spoilers thank god!
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 21 March 2016 04:25 (eight years ago) link
Bob is everything, Acid Betty's runway was awesome, and I keep finding more & more reasons to give Robbie hella side-eye.
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 05:17 (eight years ago) link
I haven't watched the first 2 eps yet but oh my god i was DYING @ this
