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

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

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.

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

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

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.

omg yes. especially since Logo is still standard def

It's definitely a fun season for sure, and with the curveball now in place already, bring on whatever is next!

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

OMG "ACID BERRY" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

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.

Also I thought Betty was a lot taller? Wasn't she close to 7 feet when she was on Runway?

Finally, Chi Chi and Kim need to become a couple so that we can call them Kim Chi Chi.

New episode is online somehow, for those who can't wait till tomorrow to know who Ru was calling. Haven't seen it yet!

Sorry, I tried not to embed it and it did the opposite. No spoilers thank god!

Bob is everything, Acid Betty's runway was awesome, and I keep finding more & more reasons to give Robbie hella side-eye.

I haven't watched the first 2 eps yet but oh my god i was DYING @ this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suNNLXLbcWo

she's so funny

jesus, I just watched Untucked and Acid Betty is such a cruel bully, like she's not even a love-to-hate-her bitch like Phi Phi, she's just smug and mean-spirited. It's uncomfortable to watch.

Also, I just realized how much Cynthia Lee Fontaine's wackiness reminds me of Celine Dion.

She's very compartmentalized, like she's all competition & not here for any kind of realness or yknow, humanity. I dunno if that will change over time, she seems v locked down

Like right now she's a fully realized version of what LaGanja attempting, minus apology or regret

I like her tho?

Robbie's wigs need to be set on fire. I dunno how she can walk out on the runway with those hideous acrylic nighmares on her head each week

Hahaha omg I was thinking the same thing about Cynthia and Céline. Her accent even seems more québécois than mexican.

I usually like Betty, even with her over the top bitchy moments, but I agree during Untucked I wanted her to shut the hell up. I mean she's talking on top of Kim Chi's message, saying awful things about her friend. That's really shitty. And Derrick was right, her narrownindedness seemed weird for her. Almost like the producers told her to say those things.

Am I being shady if I think that Thorgy's drag look is tamer her than her boy look?

Ru speaks!

acid betty's mad max thing was cool enough but i was happy they told her to do something different. it's kind of numbing at a certain point. also i don't like her and hope she loses.

i would have given the win to thorgy for being surprisingly good, as opposed to bob who you knew was going to kill it.

also loved robbie's look and her roller lip sync was killing me, there was like a comic gracefulness to it? generally i have a soft spot for the queens who do the suburban aunt thing even tho they generally don't last that long

i dont mind robbie's shtick it's just her look is always so unpolished & drab & her wigs make me angry

I don't mind robbie's shtick either but that non-offended indifference is all I really feel toward her.

No opinions on Les Chicken Wings or Kim's runway look???

waiting for someone to bump cos i couldnt find the thread

loved this ep & challlenge completely, so much fun & even though robbie isnt my fave i'm glad he got the win. bob v lucien was hilar & awkward

i am starting to want derrick barry to go home. like a lot.

chris stein should be a regular judge he was awesome <3

Robbie's anecdote about the Debbie Harry poster was A+++.

yeah that was cool - them going backstage & meeting robbie in untucked was so cool

cool cool cool ugh @ me

It's all cool! Anyway yes to all the above.

Loved the episode. I liked all the songs, even the synth one but I am cheesy. They just didn't sing it very well. They were basically "Rock Lobster", "Cars", and "Blitzkrieg Bop" with new lyrics.

The runway was incredible, especially Acid, Kim Chi and Bob. Too bad it lasted about half a second each.

I screamed when Derrick was announced safe, but I kind of knew they would keep her for Snatch Game.

Chichi SLAYED that lipsynch. Like she should go directly to Top 3 because of it. Amazing.

I'm really liking Chi Chi, sort of a harder-working version of Adore.

yeah totally. you can never count out someone hungry like that, she wants it so much & i love her for it

And like Bob said, smart! She's obviously intelligent and very self-aware.

The last Untucked was great, super sweet and that PA doing some vamping was cuet.

acid betty was v kind to chi-chi too which was nice to see

OTM! "Don't look too good, this is still a competition."

Kim Chi's runway was insaaaaane!!! And we didn't even get to see the judges comment on it :( Also Lucien Piane needs to fuck off and never be on this show again, he is the WORST, every time he is on he is so sooooo fucking smug and bitchy. I cannot even imagine how awful he must be to like be friends with IRL.

Yeah, Lucien was all, "Stop thinking B-52s" to the NY team, and what song did they end up doing?

I'll post more later but for now:

FOUR

GODDAMN

KIMONOS

WTF @ U QUEENS, WTF

Derrick stole Chi Chi's place in the top 3; I would've even preferred to have seen Kim Chi there.

Betty's exit interview was so sad and lonely.

for a runway challenge with so many options I MEAN ITS ONLY MADONNA FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD why did so many ppl choose the same look?! for fucks sake, ladies!!!

that said: i love thorgy, her kimono was definitely the best of them & her michael jackson was so good! its crazy how she keeps getting overshadowed by bob, tho, because she's clearly a first rate performer -- he's just that much more attention grabbing.

Yeah still puzzling over the kimono botch there. Thorgy is definitely dark horsing it more and more.

kimonos pissed me off so much, I'm still mad abt it

carson's nancy grace was a+ though, lol

After the fourth kimono and was all, "omg...are they all going to wear kimonos?" Not a single Madonna look prior to 1989.

fuckin travesty
