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

Jimbo 🇨🇦 what a ridiculous perfect creature

Truly! A good way to end the season even if fairly well telegraphed. But pretty great Lala got the Fame Games cash!

Read the oral history of the show the other week -- essential stuff for all the further stories and memories, honestly. It is of course done with the participation of all the production crew and there's obviously quite a bit they won't or don't say, but we get more of a peek behind the curtain. Still, notable who does NOT turn up in the interviews, though they are often mentioned -- Delta, Sharon, Phi Phi, Willam, the Vixen, Naomi too I think, among others. Willam allegedly will be starting a 'book report' on it on Hot Goss this week so I'm sure we're going to get more thoughts, as it were.

Both Mexico and France have been solid watches so far and we have Down Under and Philippines back in the next couple of weeks, and supposedly the first Spanish All Stars en route too.

anybody still watching this?
enjoying this season much more than the last, it’s a much better and more entertaining group (which is why the snatch game was all the more disappointing)

Ha, yes, very much been dedicated to it and kept meaning to revive it. Solid cast, yeah, and I have zero idea who will win. Most curious about whether Plain Jane goes the distance or completely fucks up.

Revive it = revive the thread. Also this is one of the most on-brand things I've ever seen but I admire the commitment:

(In case you're wondering how Plasma has the money for that: descendant of a Texas political dynasty on the GOP side, but her lobbyist dad apparently flooded the zone against the Texas anti-drag regulation and helped in the lawsuit getting it stopped, so even if it's Senator Rob Portman on gay marriage energy I'll take something over nothing.)

I’m still watching US, UK, Canada, France, All Stars, and Vs. The World. I enjoy most of it, but am not as excited as I used to be when it would be on once a year. I’ve been watching since the first season, and everything after Season 9 has become somewhat of a big blur.
The current season is pretty good, but I wish they would get rid of Snatch Game.

xp i wondered how that was funded (and whether it’s a major spoiler for who wins). that makes the “where were you on january the 6th?” read even funnier lol

i thought plain jane was almost timid in snatch game?
like she wasn’t sure if her jokes were landing? she could’ve killed it.

i realized i liked this season’s queens more as a group than individuals, the banter, the teasing, they all seem to love each other
either of the three will be an ok winner but i donno, certain star quality is missing

the lipsync lollapalooza ep was such a sudden reminder why this show used to be great, absolutely loved it.

Yeah that was a treat! Plane still bugs but I have a feeling either Sapphira or Nymphia has this so I’m content.

nymphia is getting an arc, so a likely candidate, but we haven’t seen her lipsync yet..

Well that answered that question! She put on a SHOW. Sapphira was great but really, no contest. (And gloriously, no Plane in the top two.)

Also, great interview:

Well oops. Hadn't seen the finale yet. Spoiled! At least I am stoked with the results.

Sorry about that!

It's my bad for opening! Thought the finals were next week for some reason and this was commentary on the Lollaparooza
