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

Hated how she singled out James Mansfield in untucked

Charlie's funniest thing was the mumble through his age bit. Beyond that, so far: *shrug*

Otm

aja's make up looks like modelling clay, yeeeikes that is some shiny trowelled on nastiness

Maybe learned some tricks from fellow queens bc she didn't look as bad on Friday night

I only just started watching this first episode but wow that Ronnie is fishy, I think she can go far.

Sasha looks like Acid Betty, Jr.

Kinda yeah!

kimora black out of drag is heart-eyes emoji

So what do you think of the Kimora Cheekbones DRAMA

Also loved how Valentina's 'coming out' wasn't being gay but being a drag queen.

Although lol at what Pearl hath wrought with her septum ring.

I did like Gaga's advice to Aja re: just that.

Gaga otm re that

lol @ kimora's oh wait I forgot I had my lips done, she's trolling so hard.

Ronnie is hella fishy <3

i almost forgot: WTF @ Farrah Moan having a reveal look and not using it!?!?GIRL. Total rookie move.

i was just thinking abt pearl's septum ring, i honestly just think it's a matter of pearl having a septum piercing back when they were idk slightly a little more punky/hipstery and now they are just common af

also "oh, wait, now i remember, I DID have my lips done, yeah" lmao gurl GURL stop

Okay so STILL waiting on the first Fashion Photo Ruview proper but there was this from four days back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F99zYVQ-av8

Katya: But can they ACT?
Trixie: Kim almost won, she can't WALK!

also "oh, wait, now i remember, I DID have my lips done, yeah" lmao gurl GURL stop

I bet she got those lip injections from her mom, too.

Lol

So Lisa Kudrow and the B52s tonight? That works.

Well, Wisconsin's pretty worthless, innit.

Kimora seems more and more like an unlikeable boring Gia Gunn. ie Kylie Jenner

you are beautiful. Period. bye.

Loving Valentina. And those eyebrows 😍

Valentina feels like the epitome of regurgitated Drag Race, like kids who up watching RPDR and then started doing drag and are on RPDR performing what they imagine RPDR to be

I don't dislike her but every time she talks it feels like she's trying to perform and it feels v weird

Theres no way shes only been doing drag for 10 months

Anyway, this

Katya on Kimora's white party getup: "she looked like she was going to a gang-bang with a bunch of sailors on fourth of July weekend" DYING

Out of drag, Trinity and Charlie have surprisingly similar faces.

Valentina's makeup has been so good, I too find it odd for someone who sez they've only been doing drag for 10 months.

I think this happens to all popular reality contests that have some staying power: a show may originally be based on a subculture and aim to represent it faithfully, but its own success eventually creates distinct ethos and mores that the viewers (and future contestants) absorb.

In the two episodes that she was on, I was puzzled by James Mansfield's under-done makeup.

seems like there might be some decent queens. the season has been weird so far, we're two episodes in and the queens haven't actually performed yet, one lip sync aside. some of them seem cool in the interviews but hard to say anyone has stood out so far.

I play RPDR 'fantasy' lol where we pick the winner, bottom two and loser. I was the big loser this week. =|

But yeah its almost impossible to guess how people will do in the very beginning. And last season it got kinda boring predicting Katya would win everything. I made the mistake of betting on pretty with Kimora being last week's winner. WOOPS.

How could anyone not predict Jaymes in the bottom two? (Presuming you didn't.)

Finally caught up. That was one long drawn out Untucked ending, lemme tell ya.

The only point I got was Jaymes bottom two. EVERYONE picked her.

Anyone picking otherwise, that would have been strange.

It would also be interesting in determining when the crest-point is for such a path. Presumably Season 4 in this case.

yeah that untucked with jaymes was awful.

Meanwhile, Adore Delano has hit some troubles

Plus, catching up on some ancillary stuff -- RuViews! (Of the first episode.)

Plus Raja and Katya talking things up, most appropriate:

And of course, Whatcha Packin'

Whoops, the other RuView didn't make that, so:

Hey guys I'm travelling in China so I finally caught up with episode 2. Not easy with a VPN!

I thought the lipsynch was an embarassment to the B-52's and Ru should've just eliminated both queens. Especially with a returning queen and a non-elimination last week, this was the time to do it. Based solely on lipsynch though I think Kimora's generic sexy dance - to "Loveshack" of all songs - should've sent her home.

Speaking of returning queens, I was never a fan of the Cucu so meh... Justice for Serena Cha-Cha!

So far I'm loving Valentina's charm, Peppermint's spirit, Shea Coulée's sass, Sasha Velour's style and Nina Bonina's everything!

Charlie has been a bit underwhelming, but I'm not getting the bad vibe some of you have. I thought her Gaga look and her ice queen look were great. And I love that he was the first to tell Eureka to shut up.

Off to watch episode 3 now!!

And having seen episode 3 -- oh, so much to say. But more tomorrow.

That challenge was weird af lol

oh my god Ep 3 was like the most embarrassing episode of all time

also Kimora was so appallingly bitchy that it was kind of guitlessly fun to hate her, like there was zero sympathy or pity

otm.

the sidekicks though. my whole skeleton wanted to leave my body so many times while I was watching this. it was so weird and awkward!!

I hope Aja's makeup improves over the next few eps, if she stays that long.I think maybe part of her dilemma is just not knowing how to do on-camera makeup? That seems to be a real uphill battle for some queens each season, it takes a few episodes for them to realize there's a huge difference between doing your makeup for stage and doing it for tv. But it's way greasy, whatever the case.

This episode was witless self-parody.

In Aja's case, she does her makeup for Instagram.

OTOH, her lipsync was fierce.

It was pretty good!! Kimora didnt even know the words, she was ugh lame

This is the bar for I Need A Hero though.
Nothing beats death-drop from the mfing ceiling

https://youtu.be/t2s4AJW7cMo

For all that: the Pulse sequence was some heavy as hell stuff.

And I suppose Kimora was pretty...stupid.

I am all for queens helping each other & trying to be mindful that Adore was kind of a pathetic crybaby when Bianca took her under her wing but Farrah Moan is just so pathetic!!!She is seriously working my last fucking nerve
