also i was secretly hoping soneone would finally send Bebe home but I knew it wd never happenrip Morgan :/

You and me both, sis!
Bebe has bugged me all season tbh, and she's deluding herself as much as Milk (albeit more introspectively) if she really believes she's done well.
― MarmiteGrrrl (Leee), Sunday, 11 March 2018 19:30 (six years ago) link
yeah she has literally done nothing but ~be Bebe~ this whole time
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 11 March 2018 19:38 (six years ago) link
i stopped feeling like there were some shenanigans going on w/ bebe after the spice girls challenge (i'm pussy bitch)
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 11 March 2018 19:39 (six years ago) link
that was the one where i was like "ah ok you can really perform"
She can perform anything as long as she can be Bebe.
I also don't really see the point of her being a spy. Is she going to tell Ru that Shangela's been calling herself Daenerys Targaryen?

Who are the top 5 most #iconic queens to last 3 or fewer episodes? this is my list
Tammie BrownNicole Paige BrooksMimi ImfurstJasmine MastersJaymes Mansfield

Yeah thats a good list

Kelly Mantle maybe instead of Jaymes.

If I never have to look at Milk again I will be happy.

what was that crotcheted nightmare she was wearing o_O
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 16 March 2018 15:43 (six years ago) link
I think you summed it up.
Anyway! Well that was pleasant enough. Honestly am shocked Shangela wasn't top two, so much for all the endless Game of Thronesing. And Trixie did kill at the lip sync.
But I'm pretty ready for next week.

this season got wayyyyyyyyyyy too meta imo. what happened to the best queen wins?
― officer sonny bonds, lytton pd (mayor jingleberries), Friday, 16 March 2018 18:48 (six years ago) link
Seems to me like Ru didn't want to be the bad guy by having to slide a credit card between all those queens, so he got the eliminated queens to be the bad guys for him.
― trishyb, Friday, 16 March 2018 18:58 (six years ago) link
yeah that was some Mean Girls shit, pulling the rug out from Shangy like that. Glad Trixie won though!

Weird. On the AV Club comments, people seemed to think that Thorgy picked Shangela's lipstick. I didn't see.

shangela's mistake was to never have a true moment of vulnerability. when she did have one "moment" it was her bullying trixie over an innocuous note. she comes off as a quite exhausting person to be around, which is why she probably lost even though it seemed all signs were pointing to her winning.
― clouds, Saturday, 17 March 2018 17:44 (six years ago) link
I think it was really unfair of the girls not to vote her into the Top 2 though. She did win the most challenges and lip synchs. Even Thorgy knew it was the right thing to do.
― LeRooLeRoo, Saturday, 17 March 2018 18:58 (six years ago) link
It's gotta totally suck for her. Her looks were on point through the entire season, her performances were great, she had obviously worked her ass off to get herself to this point compared to the busted shit she was peddling back in the day. If anyone deserved that crown it was her and I feel bad that she didn't get it. I mean, Kennedy pitched a good story at the last minute but no way did she show she's at the same level as Shangy. No way. Not that 'deserving' is any kind of guarantee of a crown ever but I mean and obv its show-friends not show-business... but ffs, that kind of laser-focused dedication gives you queens like Alaska and Bianca, and Shangy deserves some credit from her peers for getting herself this far.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 17 March 2018 23:00 (six years ago) link
people are overreacting so much about this. it wasn't an injustice - it was the way the TV show game played out, where other queens' opinions of you became part of the arithmetic. even if they HAD been more impressed with her work (vs kennedy's), i still don't think it would have changed the final result. to spill so many words/tweets about whether a queen came third/fourth vs second (in a contest where only 1st gets a prize) seems like a lot of wasted indignation.
kennedy's fucking amazing. her performance in the final setpiece thing ALONE made the case for her finishing ahead of shangela at the end.

A Katya podcast?!?! Best news ever.
― "Minneapolis" (barf) (Eric H.), Tuesday, 20 March 2018 02:03 (six years ago) link
I made it 2/3 of the way through Katya’s podcast this morning (its 2 hours) and it was... challenging. It felt manic and incoherent and cringey maybe like she’s not in a good place? She discussed a meth relapse, eviction, a heart attack, a near-restraining order, an arrest, rehab, all while going off on weird unfunny wordplay tangents and stuff, like a hyperactive 10 year old. It feels like the type of stories people tell where it’s like “all this stuff happened and I was in a bad place, but now I am in a good place and that is behind me” except that it feels like she’s still in the bad place I can’t tell if somethings going on or if she’s just always been like this and we don’t know because she’s always edited well.

That sounds pretty much the same as what I saw in a couple of her Periscopes, tbh -- e.g. when she announced her mental health break, she did it entirely in French. Often erudite, sometimes obscure, not always funny, but always weird and stream-of-consciousness.
― MarmiteGrrrl (Leee), Wednesday, 21 March 2018 17:50 (six years ago) link
Most podcast episodes are too damn long, admittedly.

these queens are kinda fun this season. big ole crush on Monet X Change out of dragthose two alike queens, Aquarius and Cracker give me the creeps, theyre like Shining twins, idk if i can hang with themVanessa was a trip. That voice! I was hoping i’d get some Chi-Chi with her. oh well.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 23 March 2018 06:43 (six years ago) link
ANKH ANKH had me dying laughing
Yeah I liked Vanessa, having her go first was not fun, but someone had to go.
And yes, fun bunch in general, I'd say! I like the vibe, I think having All Stars all these past weeks was just getting to the point of overfamiliarity so everything seems even fresher. And an actual design challenge, who knew.
The Christina intro would have been great if they hadn't played up she was going to be in the episode, but I suppose it was like Gaga last year.
So Blair St. Clair would have been 12, 13 when the show started. Yup, they're definitely going to be growing up with the show now.
