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

Ru will have an absolute shit fit next time he visits Glasgow and discovers that there's basically an entire city of people who talk just like that, and it's really not so special or hilarious.

I watch a lot of Drag Race via my wife without getting too involved in who wins, but the winner was a clear 3rd in my mind, and the runner up who won just seemed to be the complete package.

* the runner up who won

Someone upthread pointed out that Bimini clearly had a load of extra money invested in them by someone else during the break, while the others didn't and I wonder if that influenced the final decision.

except of course they're not actually from Glasgow, they're from Helensburgh which is far more posh and middle-class than their persona would have you believe. I can guarantee you that nobody from Glasgow Proper was having a tweed cape hand-sewed for them as child.

Ha ha, I didn't even know that. I just assumed they were from somewhere nice in the West End.

Tayce won the group challenge, the runway and the final lipsync imo and would have been a worthy winner. I wanted a Tayce win by the end. I really didn't like Bimini's final runway look and her lipsyncing in the group challenge was dreadful but I was expecting a win from BBB. Lawrence was quite clearly third.

i lol’d at sister sister’s trolling. did a’whora say anything about it at all or was she too busy serving sour grapes?
wish they spent more time on the reunion

As for US this week, well that’s a color scheme I don’t have to think about again.

I am really finding Gottmik very samey.

I haven’t paid extremely close attention to the RPDR fan base’s toxic contingent this season but after this week’s results I figured what the hell. Yup, not surprised by what I found.

Kandy Muse is the devil. Utica’s commercial was somehow better than Kandy’s. Olivia should’ve been sent home last week if not weeks before. And Utica’s runway was better than Symone’s.

Just crystal clear in its unabashed racism.

Good grief. (But not surprising, of course.)

Now that we're down to six I think three out of the four will be Symone, Gottmik and Rose. And I'm not sure about the fourth? I probably won't be until it happens.

yeah the diehard fan groups for RPDR have such awful toxic energy, its kinda gross

i am counting down to olivia going home
god i am so over her
she’s like Tony Curtis’s character in “The Great Race” at this point, minus the DING when she smiles

i wonder if Kandy could squeak into the 4?
the judges looooove her

Kinda hoping that!

that would be kinda cool

i go back and forth on her but she’s such a vibe

I don't necessarily have Rose pegged as a for-sure top 4 yet, but I'm hard pressed at this point to imagine what Utica or Olivia could do to take her spot. Kandy is, to me, kind of a slam dunk.

Meantime at least Drag Race Down Under will start off without anything causing controversy like Sherry Pie did or anything uh er wait hold on

yeeeeeep. Australia gonna Australia :(

i don't find kandy's drag to be all that strong, especially what she had last night - i thought she'd get read for it looking like a halloween costume. i don't see her being in the top 4, but then ru'll do what ru wants to do.

i thought rose did great last night - her look was stunning and her ad was the funniest of the bunch.

yeah I loved her runway look esp that makeup!

i also gotta say Tina kinda grew on me as we got to know her. Not so much her drag but her talent & personality. and it makes me wonder what she could have done if she had not been so in her head. Good candidate for an All Stars in future imo.

also I liked how Rose tried to talk to Tina about her critiques, not coming for her but trying to get her to see the bigger picture in a kind yet direct way.

also

is there a worse song in this world than “My Humps”? I havent heard it in so long & it still makes my skeleton want to leave my body.

"I'm not doing... that" is my new catchphrase.

Slipping in an impromptu jingle in the process!

I do agree that Kandy's runway look was the worst of the night and, really, maybe among the worst of the season.

there is no way anybody will ever top lala ri’s bag dress

xp re: my lumps - exactly my reaction also, but i had to admit it made for a pretty good lipsync song

xp oh that's true

Olivia is like community theater level compared to the rest of the queens.

I actually don't thank you for reminding me of this. I literally had forgotten it was the lip sync song and now you have reminded me and I hate you.

:D

happy to oblige

Woof. The loser LOST tonight.

well deserved bottom 2 and well deserved loser tonight. disappointed she ended up being more delusional than valentina!

yeah god she was really feeling herself in the interview chair

I just hate watching people die on stage.

I mean, I know nobody loves it, but I will fast- forward through the people who are doing badly. I just can't.

I’m going to chalk this one up to the unfathomable depths of meanness Minnesotans keep bottled up their entire lives. When (IF!) uncorked, it’s a force of nature. That Utica kept a smile and a positive attitude throughout couldn’t be more on brand for us.

Also, I’m with the gang calling Utica asking sweatpants-wearing Ru to stand up and getting the double bird instantly iconic.

that was fucking amazing

Truly!

The memes, the memes.
