i like Trinity. She reminds me of Kennedy Davenport, the deeeeeep pageant mindset, they compete with intensity, like it's their job to win. She listens to critique & learns from every mistake & aims a little bit higher each time... but she also doesnt take anyone down with her if she does poorly, unlike Alexis who cant fathom her own failures, however minute
I admire Trinity. That girl dont mess around.

Alexis's hair was awful. Looked like a doll wig.
yeah trinity whom i hated at first has won me over with her fierceness. she's a bit like alyssa but with less charisma and uniqueness? i guess she's an 'nt.
― clouds, Sunday, 4 June 2017 22:28 (six years ago) link
yeah alyssa comparison is good. category is: "hella pageant queen"
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 4 June 2017 22:37 (six years ago) link
i think in the context of this season i've really enjoyed trinity's professionalism. so many amateurs in this year's crop but she knows what she's doing. i like that ru called her an old school showgirl in explaining why she did well in the crew makeover challenge.

i think that's been the biggest change is the amount of super young queens who have maybe more look but less seriousness
those early seasons it was all the hungry experienced queens that made it exciting...now it's almost like we're watching to see which beautiful confident young queen is going to forget to look both ways while crossing the street

That would be Valentina.

she seriously didn't know what egg rolls were???

Well she's from Birmingham and lives in Florida and (various regional/culinary stereotypes later) and that's why we're so elevated out here in San Francisco. *eats vegan hummus/black bean 'wrap' what is this burrito you speak of*

Yeah, when I was on Siesta Key, I had egg rolls flying at me from every angle.

A comparison we can all get behind
http://fusion.kinja.com/bear-witness-to-katy-perrys-purposeful-flop-1795958969
If pop music was a season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Katy Perry would be the show girl in a season of couture queens. She’s the Alexis Michelle, hellbent on serving high fashion but then walking out in a loud turquoise-encrusted corset. Katy Perry doesn’t do nuanced, so don’t make her. Let the woman be loud and “Roar” or whatever, but for the love of god, just let her have some fun.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 June 2017 18:43 (six years ago) link
Alexis Michelle isn't a show girl, IMO? Since she doesn't really do the elaborate, literally huge over-the-top looks -- she's more Broadway than Vegas.

KNEW IT KNEW IT KNEW IT
I just had this hunch all episode.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 10 June 2017 04:01 (six years ago) link
Yeah, that was a very non-shocking shocker.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 10 June 2017 13:23 (six years ago) link
I wonder what it would mean for the show going forward, though. One-off, or new pattern?
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 10 June 2017 13:26 (six years ago) link
Now I'm sensing a double win between Shea-Sasha.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Saturday, 10 June 2017 13:33 (six years ago) link
Yeah, REALLY feeling it's headed that direction.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 10 June 2017 13:41 (six years ago) link
It's pretty obvious now that Valentina's crash and burn was the last real shock moment of the season, but also the one that determined the season would end on a calmer parity note instead of a fight to the finish. After her departure, it was a question of when Nina and Alexis would be out, or rather, which would be first.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 10 June 2017 13:44 (six years ago) link
I was wondering all week if this would happen. Have they done this before?
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 10 June 2017 14:15 (six years ago) link
I don't think so.
I know Sasha is fab in a lot of ways, but I think her looks are very tame. In fact, I think all their looks were very tame this week. I wonder if they get a budget from the show to spend on their looks, and if that budget has been cut?
― trishyb, Saturday, 10 June 2017 14:48 (six years ago) link
Untucked was fun. Also, food! (Seriously, isn't the story that the craft services are a little sparse for the show?)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 10 June 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link
God almighty!

ok that untucked was great.
now that Alexis isnt sucking all the air out pf the room I could finally appreciate just how rad these four queens are.
really happy with the result, cant wait to see what shakes out
sidebar: holy fuck Shea slayed the house down with her rhyme, good god that was great. and with the baseball bat? in love.
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 11 June 2017 00:47 (six years ago) link
Yeah if there had been a designated winner for that round, Shea had it lock stock and barrel.
And how come Bjork can't DJ for me after I see an episode, I tell ya.

Ru - How ya like them apples?Peppermint - I love em girlShea- Ooh they real sweet

― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:03 (six years ago) link
Haha yes to that!
Also having been a Peppermint fan the moment she walked through the door to kick off the whole thing -- and she really did feel like the season narrator -- her ending up at the end is really great.
So is there a recap episode next week or do we just wait on the 23rd?
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:07 (six years ago) link
reunion next week no?
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:16 (six years ago) link
Grand finale is the 23rd per the graphic at the end of Untucked.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:46 (six years ago) link
hmm
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 11 June 2017 01:48 (six years ago) link
oh well
They're such a crew. I would 100% watch a magazine show presented by these ladies.
― trishyb, Sunday, 11 June 2017 08:56 (six years ago) link
Poor Trinity! Gave up shotgun just so they could get that final shot in the van!
Even though we've got four girls, I have to say that the crown is Shea's to lose. /duh
In fact, I think all their looks were very tame this week. I wonder if they get a budget from the show to spend on their looks, and if that budget has been cut?
At least from seasons past, the queens bring in their own wardrobe (e.g. Willam, who has a sugar daddy, coming in with high-end stuff).
so I guess we have YET ANOTHER season of horrible pre-taped faux-reaction from the winner, ugh, this is the worst worst finale setup of any reality competition show ever
I think that the alternative -- revealing the winner on the main stage -- is a little underwhelming -- the setting is too small and familiar for such a grand announcement, the celebration so much more low-key compared to a huge theater filled with fans. A little bit of confetti dropped from above doesn't make up for the difference in scale.
I do miss the claws-out reunion though -- having that part in front of a live audience has made it tamer (although the higher profile of the show and its impact on getting gigs or getting social media hate also undoubtedly affects how much bitterness and candor can now come through).

idk you'd think the budget would go UP when switching from logo to vh1.. I do find it odd that the looks mostly seem to be BYO. the show must be a huge success because they have no expenses!

I thought Trinity's final look was fantastic.

yeah Trinity looked incredible. The hair, makeup, THE DRESS...so much perfection
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 12 June 2017 17:39 (six years ago) link
yeah Im glad trinity decided to go out with guns blazing if thats what it was going down to.
I like the top 4 but I do feel that theyre all missing some part of the complete puzzle..
