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

katya is a goddamn scream, i can't handle it

She's starting to feel more like the preordained champion (and no complaints), hits a sweet spot between fashion and comedy.

i am getting a tiny bit impatient for the individual challenges, tho.

has there been a sewing challenge yet? or are we not doing that anymore.

I think they've been drifting away from the arts-n-craft challenges over the last few seasons.

One big reason why I can't wait for the Snatch Game here next week.

I think they've been drifting away from the arts-n-craft challenges over the last few seasons.

but didn't bianca sew herself a dress for 3 different challenges last season?

She may have worn one dress in three different challenges, yes.

yeah i am over the group acting/singing challenges

RuView!

Is everyone in mourning ?

I have been on my phone & couldn't pull up the thread. Forced to wait for yall to bump :)

much better snatch game than i expected! kennedy killlllled it. and pearl was p hilar...i wish violet had done a bit more with her alyssa but it was kinda on point even so

max's sharon was unforgiveable wtf

ginger & katya horsing around outside in untucked had me dying

ugh max is just so insufferably performative all. the. damn. time. LaGanja old hollywood style, p much

Is this the first time an unabashed character queen has been eliminated in Snatch Game?

Honestly, tho, the only two they could even conceivably bring back next week are Milk Max or Trixie.

i think it's p obviously Trixie considering she like unianimously won the lip sync and got sent home anyway

Yeah gotta be Trixie.

I hope it's Trixie.

Max seems layers upon layers of artifice, and the covert bitchiness in contrast to the nice as pie persona just offputting to me. The more of her I saw in Untucked the less I liked

Fame & Katya was a lovely moment

Also, the condragulations tie? I could think of many other snatch games that merited two winners more than this one, which Kennedy basically ran away with.

Yeah that was weird. I also thought Dela, Adore, and Bianca could've shared the win last year then.

who's coming back though?

How will they decide who gets to come back? Last time it happened I think it was Michelle who chose and she brought back Kenya Michaels.

who knows! if i had to guess its whoever draws the most viewers. could it be anyone but trixie? i dont see anyone begging for more mrs. kasha davis, tho it might be candy i suppose.

LaGanja old hollywood style, p much

i never liked max and this is a great burn

max failing miserably at doing sharon was a perfect encapsulation of her specific mediocrity

i guess i'd like to see kasha davis come back. the mom thing won me over in the end. if not her then i guess jasmine

i thought max was great early on but idk, "there's no there there"

for sure

she's the kind of queen that makes you appreciate the true weirdo queens

the fact that she seems like a huge stick in the mud outside of drag was probably a sign

otm

my fave drag queens are at least as interesting irl out of drag as their characters

it's gotta be more than striking a pose

I don't know, I agree his Snatch Game was awful but I thought Max was mostly great up until that.

And apparently his weird singing stunt was just really mean editing to make her look like a fool: https://twitter.com/MAXcollective/status/587814514231484416

Sorry his/her

call the wahmbulance

Raja and Raven not too impressed this week. I loved Violet!

i wanted to like max because her runway looks were always so polished and specific, always high-concept without sacrificing glamour. i even admired the dedication to the grey hair. i dunno, there was a level of exacting control and tenacity that really benefited her style, but it turns out those same qualities made for an extremely stiff and mannered personality. i was hoping she'd stick around long enough to expel the cork from her ass. oh well.

i'm calling katya for top 3 now, btw.

Ginger and Katya are pretty seemingly locks. Third is a wild card between the three drop dead gorgeous skinny bitches.

i would like to see ginger katya and kennedy in the final 3 but ru has always showed a crippling weakness for pretty/pretty boring queens so i'm sure violet will worm her way in there

Other examples?

(Also, Kennedy has had exactly one good week.)

tyra, phiphi, & courtney all spring to mind for pretty/boring top 3 contestants

also tatianna but she was top 4

Tyra and PhiPhi were def more pageant than glamour imo, but it's a fine line.

wtf is the diff btwn pageant and glamour?

like does pageant have a slightly self-aware element of like campy performativity where glamour is just STUNNING FLAWLESS FISH or whatever?

Pageant means they look better in drag. Glamour means they're sickening as both a boy and a girl.

Pageant usually also means "runway + lipsync and that is IT" plus big hair & GOWNS - glamour is kinda more high-fashiony

and glamour queens often dont really lipsync or anything, they just kinda look amazing
