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

friend saw the RPDR7 tour last night and said it was like so sickening that it gave him life

Well yes

Is your friend Laganja?

There's a thought.

Anyway some fun/interesting details in that interview. How had I missed the Pit Crew's web series?

Didn't realize Max was from the Twin Cities.

I am intrigued by Violet but idk if she's anything more than a look

Mrs Kasha Davis & Jasmin look like they might be fun

Kennedy Davenport is for real, her dancing is ridiculous

Come on Season 7 ! Let's get sickening !!!

Two and a half hours to go on the West Coast...

eeeeeeeee

Kandy Ho is a shady bearded lady

i am too tired to stay up & watch untucked online tho, will catch up tomorrow

good cast though
that max is kinda interesting! violet chachki is fun to watch but idk personality wise she seems a bit dead in the water

I'm kind of still getting them all mixed up, especially the young fishy ones. The ones that stand out for me so far are Max and Katya.

I'm glad we're getting Untucked on TV right after the episode here in Canada. It's an integral part of the show for me (although this particular one was boring. I'm not sure I like how they are doing it this Season.)

i was annoyed that they blurred the bodies, made it harder to tell how crappy the paintjobs really were

Yeah that was really dumb. Blurring fake nudity? Ugh.
At least we got to see what they looked like on Untucked. Especially Ginger lol!

Delays delays, ONLY just got around to seeing the episode. (Ending up crashing out last night, just too tired from my birthday weekend.) Liked the change up for the opening challenge and how Alaska was just...there. Because why not!

I suppose they couldn't do what they did last season and break things up initially without ruining the surprise, but it did feel a little rushed this time around, especially since we only got an hour long episode instead of the older hour and a half season starters. Maybe next week will cause things to settle a bit.

Alaska was (brilliantly) impersonating Anna Wintour!

I rewatched the episode and it was better this time around because I could remember who was who. There were just to many new faces yesterday.
After seeing it again, I thought they got the bottom two wrong. For me it should have been Jasmine and her cocoon vs Sasha and her not understanding the assignment.
But I think the producers chose to have Tempest and Kandy lipsynch to continue the drama they had going since the very beginning of the episode. I'm surprised miss Ho's ageism was Ruwarded with a win.

god Sasha was horrible

she looked like me walking out on the runway in my spanx

Yeah a second watch should help things sink in a bit more. Was catching up on the various web clips and things now, Pandora B in full effect as always...

And having seen the Untucked now...hmm. It IS all different. I kinda liked seeing more of the whole behind-the-scenes in general -- like, the actual reverse side of the workroom doors, who knew! And the basic couch format is okay enough though I do miss the Ru shrines and all, plus no peekaboo moments as well, I guess.

Strange, though, how the whole episode felt very...almost elegaic. More restrained and almost melancholy in its shooting and editing, but also in the discussions. It wasn't sold as bitchy backstage drama, it's a bit of a sharp turn. But maybe that was the whole point, that they'd reached a limit?

Anyway, Raja and Raven back with the Ruviews tomorrow!

Yeah, the split premiere, for its faults, really let you get to know the contestants, and I'm still trying to remember who gave birth in their Werq Room entrance, who said they had a body of an Irish rock climber, etc.

I was surprised with Max -- flat/shallow personality judging from her MTQ video, but her looks were so far out of the box that there was plenty of room for Shangela in there. But I think she's going to be a more clueless April.

Pearl's entrance was my favorite.

Some of these girls are cinched to the gawds. Damn!

I loved Max's resort retiree with the crutches, that was all up in some Sharon Needles steez, so awesome

And I presume a wink to Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" video.

oh yeah that too! *forehead slap*

Kandy Ho is a shady bearded lady

She wishes she were shady, when instead she's a garden variety a-hole.

One of the fishies -- I think Violet? -- out of drag is what I imagine Detox to look like pre-surgeries.

Also, I have just noticed that there's a commentary version of the episode with Alasks and Bianca Del Rio BEST IDEA EVER

Where's Untucked?? Is it only going to be on Youtube this season?

online only

I couldn't find it on Logo's site though! I ended up watching it on YouTube.

Yeah I think it's only on YT -- I guess the idea is try and showcase their channel there more.

Oh and speaking of, the first RuView with Raja and Raven did go up:

They tooted the lobster dress !!

and
"come on CHIN STRAP"

This girl from Australia has the funniest recaps on the web: http://blandcanyon.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/rupauls-drag-race-recap-season-7.html

Oh nice (since Tom/Lorenzo seem to be slacking off at this point).

And Coco and Isis are back!

Episode 2! Starting! On the east coast, shortly, etc. etc.

LIVVY

:D

Okay that made for a great ending. (And was not the Olivia song I would have picked, even though I was just thinking about it recently!)

Ru is such a nerd with her special guest judges & song choices

also Sasha Belle's sad boob malfunction was hilarious and a fitting punctuation to her overall sad-drag

The best thing she did was show up in the Milla Jovovich/Fifth Element knockoff right from her introduction and even that wasn't much. Combine that with the pretension that being a self-proclaimed hyperfan of the show who had 'cracked the code' was enough and yikes, crash and burn, especially after Katya pulled off the fast AND slow splits.

Oh and can I just say -- Moby? Out of nowhere? Getting blown? As it were.

yeah that was weird and awesome

Also I love how in the space of six months or so Jordin Sparks has been in a Left Behind reboot and shown laughing her ass off at a group lipsync routine full of reverse cowgirl action and oral sex and etc.

As much as I didn't enjoy her last week, I thought Jasmine should've been in the top 3 this week. Fashion really isn't her thing, but she might keep herself on the show with her lipsynch like Coco and Trinity did. I do agree Ginger deserved the win though.
