I like Jan surprisingly as well, and Rock M and Jaida (that bone structure!).
I looked up the cast just now because for the life of me I couldn't remember Dahlia's name, and noticed that this cast is incredibly young: no one over 34, and a total of four contestants in their 30s.

Yeah, when Jan first falls short this season it's going to make a hell of a thud.

Maybe I've got too narrow a notion of what Fosse should be, but I didn't really get Fosse from a one of them. Also, what Jan was suggesting for choreo was so much closer to the mark than the cheerleader explosion she pulled out on the main stage.
― crusty but malignant (Eric H.), Sunday, 8 March 2020 21:42 (four years ago) link
Oh yeah I never want to hear "Fosse" again after that episode.

Fussy.
Anyway: no LA DragCon:

Yeah, that was awful. How bad must it have been if this is the best hour they could cobble together out of it?
― trishyb, Saturday, 14 March 2020 20:00 (four years ago) link
What was interesting is how they CLEARLY took this past week to do a major minimizing job on Sherry Pie. No confessional appearances whatsoever, the fact that they had to show her winning the episode was almost grudging.
I did like the El Debarge moment.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 14 March 2020 20:11 (four years ago) link
Yeah that was fun. I just realised the episode is called World's Worst lol.
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 14 March 2020 21:03 (four years ago) link
believe the hype
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 14 March 2020 21:06 (four years ago) link
I was thinking that a low-effort but still shady way to deal with Sherry's presence was to replace all shots and onscreen interactions with her with excerpts from the Buzzfeed episode.

I'm a big fan of lip-synchs that don't rely on death drops and the splits but that was so... nothing. Just like the rest of the episode.
Given that Ross was really laughing hard through their improv sketch and she won the challenge I'm guessing there was a LOT edited out from Sherry Pie.

The judges cracking each other up tonight was exactly the thing we all needed tonight.

Very. But as I just muttered on Twitter, above and beyond whatever Sherry Pie’s done...a *1972* Olympics reference?
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 21 March 2020 04:38 (four years ago) link
Leslie Jones keeping it 100 was everything. And then getting REALLY REAL with Aiden? She's got a permanent spot on the judging panel if she wants it as far as I'm concerned.
― Archaeopteryx Morgan M.D. (Leee), Saturday, 21 March 2020 22:16 (four years ago) link
Yeah, she was great. But the show is really awkward now that it's trying to edit around someone who was obviously a very strong contender. All I could see for the last two weeks was how absent Sherry Pie was from the whole thing.
― trishyb, Saturday, 21 March 2020 22:30 (four years ago) link
Yeah this is going to be *real* interesting the longer it goes, especially if she turns out to be a final competitor. (On the flip side, it lets other voices stand out all the more and I increasingly think Heidi is a hell of a dark horse because she is FUNNY.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 21 March 2020 22:42 (four years ago) link
Agreed. There was something she said under her breath in the v/o and I can't remember what it was, but it was sharp as a tack.
― trishyb, Saturday, 21 March 2020 22:45 (four years ago) link
Last night's episode had one or two downright shoddy edits (noticeable in the audio) in it and moments of absolutely slack pacing, I assume the result of them doing whatever they could to minimize Sherry.
― coronoshebettadontvirus (Eric H.), Saturday, 21 March 2020 22:50 (four years ago) link
Cosign on Leslie Jones lighting up the whole show - i cried laughing so many times during the runway, her & the judges were vibing! . and her meeting the queens. What she said to Aidan was so right-on, love that about her. oh And her signing Widow’s yellow shoe omg dying idgaf about sherrie’s edit tbh, there’s so much talent here even without her it’s not like the episodes are suffering
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 22 March 2020 00:54 (four years ago) link
Underrated bit -- Leslie's voice singing along with "Covergirl" on the main stage intro.

YESSSSS OMG!!!!!! IMO the only thing that comes close to topping that from recent seasons was Yvie's finale performance.
Jury is still out for me about how good this cast is but otherwise I agree on the Sherry stuff.

Nobody's pissed about the obvious manipulation of the bottom 2 ?
― LeRooLeRoo, Sunday, 22 March 2020 17:55 (four years ago) link
pissed how?
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 22 March 2020 20:14 (four years ago) link
I didn't get how the eliminated queen was even close to the bottom and it totally felt like she was used to get a reaction from fans.
― LeRooLeRoo, Sunday, 22 March 2020 22:21 (four years ago) link
i dunno, it seemed plausible to me. She really did look like a cat toy in the final look & her padding for the first two was soooo bad - her ass had CORNERS
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 22 March 2020 23:28 (four years ago) link
HAHA well I love cat toys and I might be a bit biased by her appearance out of drag. I dunno, all my group was outraged too. That cup and ball game was genius and her basketball wife was spot on to me.
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 23 March 2020 03:50 (four years ago) link
Her hair for that first look was amazing! But like the judges said, from the neck down it was like, zero look. I never really took to her that much, all she seemed to ever do was cry or be like TOO excited, she just came off as manic depressive to me

― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 26 March 2020 22:54 (four years ago) link
Oh yeah I should've mentioned that I didn't think Rock M should've been lipsycning either! I liked her last look from the knees up, too. Aiden should've been bottom 2 IMO, but I think she's a central figure in the "picked-on noob" edit so will probably hang around a while longer.
― Archaeopteryx Morgan M.D. (Leee), Thursday, 26 March 2020 23:44 (four years ago) link
Unfortunatly, I've heard Aiden is getting a lot of hate and backlash online for Ru's decision.

Well, in combination with who won, how the episode ended and the whole incredibly bad timing of a medically themed episode -- down to a spitting moment -- this easily has to be the episode WoW wishes most that it didn't actually exist.

Do you mean 2 weeks ago (World's Worst) ? I thought the Ball Ball was very good, aside from the bottom 2 shenanigans.
Yesterday was one of the better (or more tolerable) acting challenges I thought, but they are never great. I can see SP going very far. She has the chops and the polish. They might have pegged her to win the whole thing when they were filming. Must be a nightmare to re-edit.
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 28 March 2020 20:58 (four years ago) link
oh yeah oops sorry i meant the Worlds Worstuntucked was a thing to see this week. Brita is morphing into ego-godzilla like bitch your name & reputation only GOT you here. it doesn’t count for anything else once the competition starts & i feel like she will get herself eliminated before she understands thatIt was interesting to see them all feed on Aidan too. I like him & i feel bad but he doesnt help himself either. I don’t think anything Leslie said sunk in at all, or Jackie. He’s building a one room persecution complex & its just gonna get bigger & bigger til they prove him right. I dont see him rising above it? idk

Brita did have one VERY good moment thanks to the editors, though -- namely when some judge said on the runway to Crystal that she looked like a "Polynesian princess." Cut to Brita, whose background is Tongan, looking...not very pleased.
