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

Loved Ben getting Miss Congeniality; if she'd been top three then Joslyn but since not, had to be Ben. (And I rather enjoyed Ru both noting general audience lust for Milk in boy mode and the protests when Ben left.)

No direct family mentions for Bianca still, I guess -- or maybe it's just him in the end? Or else the family's very private or etc. I still find it very interesting than in a show where, for all the 'we get to choose our families' rhetoric, immediate family of one form or another is so heavily emphasized (thus the Darienne redemption moment, Joslyn and hubby's moms, etc.). So having it be Lola and her mom solely as the Bianca family support stands out a bit.

Definite odd moment for me was Adore/Laganja watching the Untucked thing, because I couldn't get the exact tone.

Jiggy Caliente! Looking good! Ivy was a bit wobbly there but hey, stilts.

I also like how ALL the queens get glammed up and got up in full for these finales, it shifts from being under-pressure efforts to something else.

Meantime I've seen a few photos emerge from the actual finale party in Las Vegas and presumably video to follow. If they hold it there next year I am seriously thinking of going.

Yeah I didn't get the Adore/Laganja thing either.

Reaction video is super cute

Even though I was more than lukewarm on Courtney, I really liked the chemistry of the 3 of them together as a group

Yeah it was fun! Loved that reaction video. Adore's shoes!

so can Bianca get her own show now? or an HBO special?

Guess we'll see! I'm actually looking forward to Adore's album there.

me too!

I wish I could find a screenshot of little Lola's face when Bianca won. It was priceless! Standing up on her chair all O_O

oops well that didn't work

Okay last one

Nice long interview with Queen Bianca, where they mention that part of the pre-taping included a shared crown scenario with Adore & Bianca (!)

Adore in a Misfits shirt? Life is wonderful.

And you know I was *wondering* if they'd do a joint crown thing. Hadn't heard any rumors of it.

that would've been kinda cool

though it would have been weird for Courtney

And you know I was *wondering* if they'd do a joint crown thing. Hadn't heard any rumors of it.

If this had happened, it would've involved Laganja.

no lols for you, that was terrible

Really disappointed that during the wedding, Joslyn didn't tear off her gown to reveal the nine white bikinis underneath.

xpost I'm just getting started!

I lied, I got nothing else. :(

Oh: Jinkx's makeup was a little, let's say, minimalist.

There was something odd about the headpiece & the wig, it looked like it might have need to be built up with more wig? idk. made her face look very small

the dress was neat though

I think she was going for a Statue of Liberty thing, with the green dress and the spiky crown.

PS the Alyssa's Secrets with Shangela are hysterical.

lol'd hard at Ben winning a gift certificate.

A couple of chin-stroking pieces

I kind of agree with the wire piece, but it was probably the most fun finale they've had so I don't really care?

I sort of wish the finale was more of a two parter project runway kind of deal where they have longer to put together something for a challenge and really show their own brand of drag but it's not going to keep me up at night

Yeah same here. Also, let's be frank, the ONLY reason they just don't go ahead and do it live is because of the potential for fuck-ups and raunch.

totally

though who doesn't want to see that, let's be honest

The AVClub writer is horrible.

guys how did we miss this

I'd say crown Ornacia

Stevie if you don't go see this for us I will hunt you down

A Stacy Lane cameo would've been EVERYTHING.

That's pretty painful to listen to. Drag queen music isn't very good is it. Are there any other than Divine and "Supermodel (You Betta Work)" that were succesfull ?
If Boy George counts then they all have a lot of work to do.

Oh I forgot Sylvester and Kevin Aviance.

I can't think of a single RpDR alum music video that I've thought was remotely listenable.

I like Willam & DWV's parody songs the best of any of the recent drag queen songs

I've heard Adore's stuff is good?

but idk

I've heard that __Tatianna__'s stuff is good. I listened to a couple, and they didn't scream TURN ME OFF.

I liked Adore's first single, I haven't heard any more yet

Interesting article here that Jinkx just shared out -- she's one of the interviewees.

As an aside, it's interesting to see Dela's boy last-name being used, since he'd been so careful about obscuring it for so long.

This is too adorable and gives me faith in humanity:
