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

Tis the season!

who the fuck wants to listen to this

So G1nger M1nj dumped her husband for another guy. His ex was gracious if not hurt.

Then today his ex packed his remaining things for G1nger and told him he could come get it while my roommate and him went out.

They came back and G1nger and his new boyfriend stole all of his stuff except his clothes. TV...couch...bed. everything.

Someone was warped by being on this show.

Sorry for the misuse of pronouns.. I'm tired.

Just really kinda shocked. And ex-husband has gone public w it so it's getting ugly

I just checked upthread and reconfirmed that you were the one who had posted that you knew her and her husband, to be sure -- and damn, what a mess.

yeah. I feel terrible for the hubby. His roommate also ditched out on him to move in with Ginger and a friend so now he's on the hook for the rent which he can't afford.

so sad

While we wait...

Yes !!
While I wait I've been rewatching all the Seasons with my bf who hadn't seen any of them and it's been so much fun!! So many amazing queens, creative challenges, jaw-dropping looks, fun personnalities, hilarious quotes, and fierce lip-synchs! Needless to say he's just as hooked as I am.

Wouldn't RuPaul's Christmas Ball from 1993 actually be the "first-ever drag themed holiday special"?

Yeah I thought that too.

History began in the 21st century. Uh.

Okay finally! Season 8 contestants announced:

I see Acid Betty is following in Sharon Needles's Project Runway footsteps.

Based on the Meet the queens on Logo's website, my favorites so far are Bob The Drag Queen, Dax Exclamationpoint, and Thorgy Thor.

Meantime fun to see Shangela on The X-Files this week.

i was just coming here to say that!

That's something I never thought I'd hear!

What brought these vivacious vixens together? We don’t want to spoil it, but we will say it has to do with the first challenge of Season 8’s premiere episode

As a friend said on FB, Quarter Quell?

Oh Tyra... :(

Raja looks amazing as always. Wish Raven was there for that ep.

raven just carries herself like a winner. i fully understand why tyra won but i am glad that raven is so fucking classy that i completely forget tyra

Loved the first episode. Lot's of great personalities. I can already remember most of them off the top of my head. Makes me excited about the new season!

I am sooooo feeling Bob the Drag Queen. Like, in all aspects. And Acid Betty omggg. Loving these grown New York queens, basically. Fuck yes.

Derek Barry didn't show terribly well in untucked... and Bob is packin a healthy amount of competitive shade.

is derek barry the right name? britney. whatever her name was

Derrick Barry I think. He did better than I thought he would in the challenge though. I mean it was simple, but I didn't expect him to have humor.

And yes, Bob is god. With Kim Chi and Thorgy as my holy trinity so far.

Yeah catching up on everything here. Bob is pretty damn hilarious, just want him to kill the looks a hair more (not that he can't but even so). Kim is freakin' hilarious and I have soft spots for Naomi and Chi Chi too, so far.

Kim is adorable, looking forward to more if her

I didn't watch Untucked yet but Bob and Kim Chi are my jam rn, I SQUEALED when it showed the bored-dazed photo shoot "best shot"

also lol @ tugging hard on the heartstrings w/ Kim's parents for what will inevitably be like a super gut-wrenching Untucked at some point

How did Bob get his first name? I missed that part.

"Big ole' bottom" iirc

YOU GUYS

It felt a bit set up, but it was so deserved!!

yeah, suuuuper deserved

but def set up, i agree

i thought the contrast between the two teams performances was pretty stunning, even with dax's awkard giraffe realness. chi-chi's team as a group totally killed it

I was going to say, however much of a setup it was...if you're going to do, you know, THAT song, kill the damn thing.

they both lipsynced like it was bubblegum dreampop. it's a strong, defiant song! it's a goddamn anthem whether you like it or not. You need to stomp that shit out like Adore would

I am enjoying this season a lot more than last season. I dunno if it's the influx of ny queens or the level of talent or what, but i'm diggin it

want a spinoff series where acid betty, thorgy & bob just spill the tea to camera forever

raja said on her commentary for logo that thorgy looked like a ceramics teacher out of drag & i loled so hard

I am loving this season too so far. My only complaint would be all the strobelights during the runway which make it pretty much impossible to see the looks until they actually get critiqued.

omg yes. especially since Logo is still standard def

It's definitely a fun season for sure, and with the curveball now in place already, bring on whatever is next!

lmao thorgy's adam duritz-ass dreads are so fn wack but i love them. Also that had to have been set up in some capacity but idk maybe saved until the first truly mediocre lip-sync? they both really sucked

OMG "ACID BERRY" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
