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

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:

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.

Yeah Jasmine did a great job. Glad Ginger got the win all the same, she's sassy!

Moby should've won for his best Thom Yorke drag.

Wondering if Katya really is a former Soviet gymnast now.

What.

What was Moby doing there. It was far from the stupidest thing Moby's ever done, but it was definitely the stupidest thing RPDR has ever done.

I like to think this season he'll just be inviting his random buddies to appear each episode.

it really was the weirdest thing

oh and stupid, no question

You know, I'm very surprised and disappointed that the pretty girls are so conceited and precious about their looks.

stop relying on that body-ody-ody

Building toward another boogers vs. heathers season?

kinda feels that way a little bit

Uuuughh.

Though maybe flipping the n00b/veteran alignment might make it more palatable.

i really hope that violet gets read to filth by michelle visage soon, like i really want that to happen so bad

I just realized that I'm glad Sasha Belle was eliminated because I couldn't tell her apart from Mrs. Kasha Davis.

Mrs Kasha is not a hot mess, that's how you can tell her from Sasha

And Kasha is the one who looks like Nina Flowers out of drag?

also FYI Pandora Boxx is doing weekly 5 min episode recaps on Logo, they're pretty fun
