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

Yeah, there's a lot of tumblr chatter about Jinkx's fanbase playing the victim card a little too conspicuously, when in reality, she's absolutely killing it on accumulated points.

loool

Weird that I didn't recognize Santino and his Brad Pitt jawline.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Jessica Wild's amazing performance of "He's The Greatest Dancer"

Whoa, so weird not to hear them bleep out "don't fuck it up."

New episode tonight AND Julianne Escobedo Shepard interviewing Ru for Spin, with this little bit of interest:

Drag Race's fifth-season premiere scored more viewers that evening than CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, and this season is the show's most-watched yet, marking a 33 percent increase in ratings for Logo as a network.

in fairness, everyone hates Piers Morgan

Too true...

So I was actually sad to see Miss Edwards go. She was such a character and in the end I think she had more to offer than Coco, Roxxxy, or Detox. And probably a nicer person too.

Still if you're going to go, that's how to do it, because that was one crazy lip sync.

Annnnnd go Jinkx go!

And next week making over Marines? Like Roxxy said in the ad, "God bless America."

Based on what we were shown, that lip-sync put the earlier one that gave both queens a chanté to shame. Coco had the rap down, and I understand why Alyssa had to leave this week given her ill-advised choice of words about coasting to the top on one LS4YL after another. But damn, that was not the way I wanted that rivalry to break.

I can only presume Coco's days are numbered, but the "dress up someone who doesn't normally do drag" episodes have a way of really blowing a cyclone through the presumed order of things.

After the last few Untucked episodes, I'm thinking Alaska might have Miss Congeniality wrapped up, unless Jinxx folds under pressure.

Yeah the next challenge should be interesting -- the only time Raja had to lipsync was with her equivalent episode.

Yeah, and Sharon also got sent to the bottom 2 on that challenge.

i want to see jinkx lip synch, not because i think she deserves to be in the bottom two ever, but because i'm certain she's so good at it

She kind of did in that pseudo-gloryhole mini-challenge early on (she didn't win).

haha i'm obsessed, but there's some decent stuff on jinkx's YT channel, the medea diaries are pretty lol

xpost -- she also did in that one bit on the second Untucked where the lip-sync group challenge went down. Just because I remembered the amazing looks/performance she gave on "...relying on that BODYodyodyody..."*rolls eyes*

Whaddya know? Looks like Jinkx is about to fall on a big ol' grenade.

(Oh, and Detox's military sister is really hot.)

with any luck that navy daddy paired with jinkx will be the most naturally campy queen of them all

Maybe, but at first blush, I think Alaska definitely picked the easy winner in that lineup.

Ha, Jinkx got the best one out of the five if you ask me! Dude had stories.

Anyway Jinkx survives, SEEYA COCO.

Promo for next week makes it seem like RuLaskaTox trying to drive Jinkx out...I have my doubts.

Meantime, Little Edie returned recently...

okay Alaska's Nebraska was cute premakeover but DAMN she is a fine queen. Crappy padding or no.

Detox's Retox oh hai hott. I could watch her walk in those heels all day long. The makeup kinda bummed me out though.

Coco's Horchata looked like a kabuki actor! So bad. Didnt think she lost the lipsync but who cares BUHBYEEEE

Nah, she lost. Detox's comment about having more fun on stage underscored why.

That's true

Coco had such a stick up her ass 24/7

faaaar out Detox's family-time on untucked made me bawl

and Untucked made me crush on Detox's baby queen 10x more

and Alaska's. Suuuper cute. jesus.

OK. I want Detox's little soldier.

Oh wait, that's not what I meant.

You can have both.

lol

soldierboy is killing me

can he stay on the show, and be detox's mascot? CAN THAT BE A THING PLZ

I'd def let him kill me.

Also, I only just a few weeks ago put together that Michelle Visage was in Seduction, so it was extra sweet to hear her song put up as a LSFYL.

I looked her up on Wiki to find out who she was supposed to be, and that was the first time I'd ever heard Seduction. V cool

that whole conversation about tucking, soldier boy with his SIZE 15 FEET

*dead*

sorry

Ru herself, meanwhile, schools the half-steppers and gloryhounds

LOL, I almost missed that ("Anaconda," r u for real?!) because I was in hysterics with Coco's guy.

"Where are your balls."
"They're in my hand."
"Your balls are in your hand?"

that whole thing was so funny

"Can we start with the shoes?"

*heart melts*

Fuck Mysterious Skin. Looks like Tarzan, sounds like Jane is very much AGL in this case.

Oh, and Jinkx's mom crying was the emotional highlight for me.

Er, Detox's.

xxpost totally, soldierboy worked those pumps something fierce too

yeah the mom moment was basically rivers of tears on my couch

No, I meant Jinkx's stage mom crying because he long ago gave up any hope to fraternize with the younger crowd. That sort of got to me.
