cool cool cool ugh @ me
It's all cool! Anyway yes to all the above.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 1 April 2016 22:56 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Saturday, 2 April 2016 00:17 (eight years ago) link
yeah totally. you can never count out someone hungry like that, she wants it so much & i love her for it
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 2 April 2016 05:26 (eight years ago) link
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."
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Monday, 4 April 2016 02:40 (eight years ago) link
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.
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 4 April 2016 11:59 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, Lucien was all, "Stop thinking B-52s" to the NY team, and what song did they end up doing?
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Monday, 4 April 2016 16:49 (eight years ago) link
I'll post more later but for now:
FOUR
GODDAMN
KIMONOS
WTF @ U QUEENS, WTF
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 5 April 2016 23:55 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 16:41 (eight years ago) link
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!!!
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 18:57 (eight years ago) link
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.
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 19:03 (eight years ago) link
Yeah still puzzling over the kimono botch there. Thorgy is definitely dark horsing it more and more.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 April 2016 19:32 (eight years ago) link
kimonos pissed me off so much, I'm still mad abt it
carson's nancy grace was a+ though, lol
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 21:14 (eight years ago) link
After the fourth kimono and was all, "omg...are they all going to wear kimonos?" Not a single Madonna look prior to 1989.
― kate78, Wednesday, 6 April 2016 21:15 (eight years ago) link
fuckin travesty
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 21:16 (eight years ago) link
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!!!!
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 23:42 (eight years ago) link
also his wigs and makeup are consistently awful and i just want him to go already
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 23:43 (eight years ago) link
omg yes. you have to really try HARD to fuck that up.
i'm over robbie in a major way
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 7 April 2016 01:21 (eight years ago) link
this is the order I see them going home:
7. Naomi Smalls6 (or 5). Derrick Barry5 (or 6). Robby Turner4. Kim Chi3. Chi Chi DeVayne2. Bob1. Thorgy Thor
I don't think the top 3 could really be anyone else and nobody but Bob or Thorgy will win this thing.
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 7 April 2016 01:35 (eight years ago) link
agree
could happily shoot derrick barry into the sun right now tho. she gets worse every week
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 7 April 2016 01:42 (eight years ago) link
I still gotta pull for Robbie cuz she is my neighborhood queen, but ffs, she is sucha letdown after Jinx and Dela.
― kate78, Thursday, 7 April 2016 02:41 (eight years ago) link
Kim Chi looks great but she's a (barely) walking instagram profile. Looks great, but no chops otherwise.
― kate78, Thursday, 7 April 2016 02:42 (eight years ago) link
yeah i am not sure about kim chi
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 7 April 2016 03:28 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 April 2016 04:04 (eight years ago) link
she still cant walk for shit lol
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 7 April 2016 04:27 (eight years ago) link
against anybodys wishes i really expect derrick will be quietly escorted into the top 3 for dramatic villiany purposes. shades of phiphi o'hara
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:53 (eight years ago) link
nooooooooo
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:50 (eight years ago) link
Oh dear
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:53 (eight years ago) link
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.
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Thursday, 7 April 2016 22:42 (eight years ago) link
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.
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 9 April 2016 06:23 (eight years ago) link
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.)
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 9 April 2016 06:26 (eight years ago) link
bob is quite easily one of my fav queens ever on the show, maybe my second favorite after bianca or third favorite after alaska
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 9 April 2016 06:27 (eight years ago) link
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
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 9 April 2016 07:15 (eight years ago) link
I did like how Michelle had some very kind and supportive #realtalk with her about not being so hostile all the time
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 9 April 2016 11:52 (eight years ago) link
yeah i like Michelle being all mamabear with the queens
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 9 April 2016 18:06 (eight years ago) link
Alright, I'm not completely over Betty being only Top 8 and the whole Madonna fiasco but I liked this week's episode. Lots of funny stuff in the workroom and on the judges' pannel.Although I think we can agree that Chichi wasn't put in the bottom so that Britney wouldn't be sent home... They are giving her a redemption arc aren't they?
― LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 15 April 2016 19:59 (eight years ago) link
I'm hoping that they're giving Chi Chi the Adore arc and she makes top 3, and Derek is there to provide drama.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Friday, 15 April 2016 20:30 (eight years ago) link
I think Chichi will make it, but her Dorothy made no sense and deserved bottom imo
― LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 15 April 2016 21:36 (eight years ago) link
Derek needs to get her busted ass off my tv, I am so OVER her
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 16 April 2016 02:32 (eight years ago) link
omg I thought you meant Chi Chi for a minute and I just got so upset
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 16 April 2016 02:43 (eight years ago) link
no never chichi, she's rad
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 16 April 2016 03:04 (eight years ago) link
lol she said 'busted' and your first thought was Chi.
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Saturday, 16 April 2016 03:48 (eight years ago) link
poor robbie wasn't about to beat the Vegas Britney impersonator in a lip sync
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 April 2016 18:43 (eight years ago) link
now i have this like horrible realization of what if derrick who is clearly SO AWFUl just like happens to be really good at lip syncing and will slay ppl clearly better than him in every other way?
has this ever happened in RPDR history? like really worthless ppl who just happen to be great at lip syncing and keep hanging on long after they should be gone?
― sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 17 April 2016 19:30 (eight years ago) link
though i feel like i've seen ppl basically just get sent home after their third consecutive lip sync
