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

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

I am so pissed off about robbie's diana vreeland, it was such a failed opportunity. there are a couple key elements to the look and he didnt get a single one of them, you could not have even guessed who he was trying to be. and worse he was boring!!! diana vreeland was a grandiose maniac and all you could give us is "im an old fashion magazine lady." go home robbie, you didnt even rouge your ears!!!!

also his wigs and makeup are consistently awful and i just want him to go already

omg yes. you have to really try HARD to fuck that up.

i'm over robbie in a major way

this is the order I see them going home:

7. Naomi Smalls
6 (or 5). Derrick Barry
5 (or 6). Robby Turner
4. Kim Chi
3. Chi Chi DeVayne
2. Bob
1. Thorgy Thor

I don't think the top 3 could really be anyone else and nobody but Bob or Thorgy will win this thing.

agree

could happily shoot derrick barry into the sun right now tho. she gets worse every week

I still gotta pull for Robbie cuz she is my neighborhood queen, but ffs, she is sucha letdown after Jinx and Dela.

Kim Chi looks great but she's a (barely) walking instagram profile. Looks great, but no chops otherwise.

yeah i am not sure about kim chi

like, i love her but she feels like a universe away from chichi, thorgy & bob

Yeah, sweetly second tier, but still just that. More interesting flashes have been coming out but she's been quietly coasting all this time since her early win.

she still cant walk for shit lol

against anybodys wishes i really expect derrick will be quietly escorted into the top 3 for dramatic villiany purposes. shades of phiphi o'hara

nooooooooo

Oh dear

hey i'll be more than happy to be proven wrong! but there's always a bit of deliberate casting and that goes into selecting the top 3, we know this.

i thought robbie's runway look was really creative especially in the wake of the kimono tsunami. i generally like her on the runway at least in the context of this season which hasn't had a lot of... whimsy on the runway. pretty much all the queens are self-serious this year so i find her appealingly disarming. she's pretty boxed in as a performer tho.

i think the top three is clearly bob, thorgy & kim chi. kim chi always slays on the runway her walking aside (rupaul's little "you better kim chi that walk" riff from the second episode still bounces around my head in idle moments) and i was impressed by her snatch game performance. she def isn't on thorgy or bob's level as a performer but she's good enough in that realm that it won't drag any of her looks down, which are usually very on point.

i'm rooting hard for chi chi but her runway looks are usually pretty tasteless and not in a good way. even her boob cone madonna was kinda... off. she always looks sexy as fuck regardless but i feel like she's perpetually one look away from being in the bottom regardless of her main challenge performance. the only thing is that as we saw in the new wave episode she can lip sync anyone off the stage so that might get her into the top 3.

acid betty's interviews in this episode really were pretty sad. there was that whole bit about how she feels like a lonely outcast but she never connected it back to the fact that she's appears to be a huge bitch to work with, and proud of it. (maybe that characterization is an editing thing but if she really has very few friends in drag that's probably why.)

bob is quite easily one of my fav queens ever on the show, maybe my second favorite after bianca or third favorite after alaska

in betty's whatcha packin interview with michelle, she reveals that her mom was a former dancer that battled hodgkins disease most of her life; really heartbreaking even in the few details she gave

i dont blame anyone for judging her harshly, her armor is definitely a choice... but damn i wish she could have fought against that instinct
