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

RuPaul just won the Emmy for oustanding host for a reality program!!! This is so deserved, he really is the best, funniest, smartest, most oustanding host on reality tv. Condragulations!!!

hoooolyyyyyy craaaaaapppppp

That was a delicious Ruveal.

Also, I feel like an opportunity was missed not to have a Santino cameo this episode.

Awesome ending for sure

Thus has been a really entertaining season so far imo, enjoying the hell out of it

kinda annoying how they're forcing phi phi to be the "villain" in this -- nothing she's said has been any shadier than anyone else but they put scary droney bass and that woodblock noise underneath her comments

alyssa's camera dress was amazing. her and katya might be my favorite queens.

confident katya is a thing to behold

it's my aesthetic atm tbh

:D

katya is w/o a doubt GOAT

her cutaway interviews are always the best & funniest

for some reason I thought UNHHHhhhh stopped after the 7th or 8th episode and it turns out it's on, like, 22 rn!!!!

every monday!

Great episode overall, but I was a bit frustrated with the judging. Why all of a sudden go back to a Bottom 3 and how the hell did Katya end up in it?? She was awesome in the challenge and while her runway wasn't the best, it was hilarious and was a real transformation.

At this point Alaska is so above and ahead of the competition it feels like we're having a Raja situation, which is saying a lot in an All Stars setting. Her Betty Davis and Lil Poundcake were pure genius I was screaming laughing in my living room. And that lipsynch omg!

I'm still a bit upset at who she elminated though, it really was time to break up Rolaskatox for good.

wow, I keep trying to figure out who's gonna go home next that it didn't even occur to me Alaska is just coasting here, but you're totally right.

oh ***POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT*** next week is gonna be a stand-up comedy thing though so hopefully Katya will totally slay?!?

I'm in a facebook group where we pick top 2, top 1 and loser.. I pick alaska top 2 every week and I'm about to start claiming her the winner every week too.

ok damn

^^ fucking hell that was real

More than might be guessed. (Had a chance to hear some...interesting background information last weekend that reconfirmed much of this on a larger front.)

Oh come on don't leave us hanging!!

Yeah, I feel really sympathetic towards Phi Phi at this point

I genuunely do feel bad for her.
However, this does kinda boil down to scorpion v frog ie
why did you sting me I thought we were friends
bc i am a scorpion etc

And with Phi Phi it's still everyone else's fault but her own. Like "But the producers told me things!" "The producers asked me questions & I was upset at them"
They are producers, that is their job. It's a reality show, not a retreat. They don't want you to be a better person they want you to lose your shit on camera and like leading a horse to water you gave them that

I feel bad that she didn't realize that's what happened but of course that's what happened.

Ru is not yr Mom or your Dad or your friend. And her saying all that just makes Phi Phi seem naive for being disillusioned or thinking she's pulling back a veil.

idk. Like I said I do feel bad for her but she's so high school.

i wouldn't have remembered who jayidyynnnnn dior fierce was either if i were Ru

think phi phi needs counseling, not so much publicity.

otm

I feel bad for Phi Phi too. It took her 4 years and a lot of work to redeem herself with the public so I can understand her disapointment. Unfortunately I think she's making things a lot worse by acting so defensive online. I didn't even think she looked that bad on the show before I started hearing all the drama that was happening on social media. I don't get the "fans" who take it so seriously and act 100 times worse than she ever did.

On a positive note, I'm so happy Alyssa and Tatiana are back. They both looked gorgeous and KILLED that lipsync.

The thing that bums me out is that being villainized on the show translates into IRL consequences like death threats and blacklisting and all of that shit, and that Phi Phi is actually a really vulnerable person who wants to grow and be better and shit

Which is why I think giving a pass to the producers ("of course they're going to edit things someone sez out of context") is a morally problematic argument.

that was an INCREDIBLE lip-sync, too bad the song wasn't up to their energy

i have turned a corner on tati, she's kind of a badass

Yaaaayyyyy

:D

BAD, RUDE, AND STUPID

both the winner and the loser

lost a lot of respect for alaska

katya won the challenge and the lipsync

tatianna got played

gtf home roxxxxxy

yeah that was kind of nuts not sending roxy home. tatianna had one of the best products, a really solid commercial, and a great runway look so ??????

no fat-shaming whatsoever but there's no way that shirt fit roxxxy -_-

Yeah bad calls all around. Alaska is already winning the season, would it have killed them to give Katia the win to make things a bit less predictable? She deserved it too.

yep kinda disappointing

how good was tati's t-boz tho

It was good.

can someone explain to me how roxxxy is still there? please? i dislike her less than on the original season but even there never understood how she made it to the final 3 and here, just mostly boring.

Of course loving Alaska and Katya, and Alyssa has entertained me more than expected, as did Tatianna, but feel like the season was kind of a lost opportunity in terms of who was chosen to return.

I'm not 100% sure

Her strength is normally flawless runway & body-ody-ody, but this week even her runway was kinda boring except for good booty

It makes zero sense to me that she's still here and not Tatianna

I didn't even think that Tati should've been in the bottom -- Roxxxy and Alyssa were easily worse!

Tati's ad was not very good imo

Roxxxy is bad at doing literally anything other than looking really great sometimes.

otm

her hosting of the Comedy challenge was straight-up BAD if not for her looks

Tati's product was good, but the ad not so much. The only reason that can justify eliminating her though was that she missed many challenges so she had to really bring it.
Still think Katya should've won. It will be upsetting if we find out next week she was going to eliminate Roxxxy.

tatiana's t boz look was everything but despite being really good on stage she's sort of stiff and tentative in front of the camera for some reason. they def should have sent roxxy home but it seems like the top 4 is destined to be alaska, detox, alyssa & katya so i don't feel too terrible about that elimination

i was sorta feelin alaska for a bit and now she's really looking shitty - esp. when compared to alyssa and katya who have been consistently the most professional queens in this season

ok wowwwwww
