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

no Alyssa EYE rolls

That episode!

"...oh COURTNEY!"

Dusty's story for the emotional gut punch but there were almost throwaway moments of "Wait, hold on, jeez!" the more the whole episode went. Miz Cracker just casually mentioning her dead friend!

I do note they saved Yuhua's emotional moments for Untucked.

The Vixen is absolutely killing it in Untucked.

The mini challenge was a reference to those Calvin Klein ads from the 90s, no?

Did RuPaul have a bad cold or something on the day of filming? She was so low energy during the whole episode. She couldn't even give Courtney Love a proper introduction.

I can’t remember the last time I felt as embarrassed watching someone lip sync as I did watching Yuhua

Yes you do, and her name is Valentina.

Asia’s Tweety was on that Raja club kid magic level that we do not get nearly enough of. That wig & the makeup, the whole thing. YES to THAT

Mayhem KU RUSHED that lipsync. She needs to unleash her fierceness 24/7.
On the other hand, please god let me never see lipsync air guitar ever again. I didnt know how *much* I didnt want it until I saw Yuhua do it.
Yeeeeeeesh.

Vixen is an Untucked godsend. Intensity in ten cities baby!

oh and Dusty’s story had me weeping. Fucking tragic.

I haven't seen such a good lip sync in such a long time! Mayhem was fricking incredible.

i had seen some Mayhem performance clips before so i knew Yuhua was gonna be toast but lordy, actually seeing it happen was an experience

Did RuPaul have a bad cold or something on the day of filming? She was so low energy during the whole episode.

Actually I had the same impression! Her voice sounds congested too.

Asia's Tweety is sooooo good, I don't think there's a runway look in recent memory that's as good (including All Stars). AND she also served the best face and lol this week.

please god let me never see lipsync air guitar ever again

Ugh I know!

Mayhem turned it and Yuhua into roadkill, and served the second best lol of the week with the "Have you ever felt so used up as this?" bit in the song.

and the feather pulling was A+

Plucked cocks tell no tales.

...

Here’s a read

Yuhua also did that lip sync 101 no-no of like literally acting out all the words literally

"I'm all I wanna be" *points at self*
"Look at my face" *touches face*
"well I'm not selling cheap" *rubs fingers together*

and the feather pulling was A+

OTM. Her performance was sensational. Best lipsynch in a long time.

xpost yeah i recoiled so hard when i saw her doing that. STOP IT RIGHT NOW

Let us never speak of the air guitar on RuPaul's main stage ever again.

otm

Let's never speak of air guitar anywhere ever again.

That Sharon Needles story feels like it’s 90% subtext

re: the article on race, I almost posted during AS3 that the one white queen in the final four managed to win over the three African or African-American queens. Also, how the jury queens decided that Shangela didn't need their vote because she's already established herself as a star outside of the show, but then they go and vote Trixie into the final 2...

omg

I enjoyed every moment of that LSFYL. The good and the not good.

i would not have expected dusty's lip sync to be so hard to watch idk why

the monet lip sync was truly iconic tho... the fake out split into the final bass drop split goes down in history

Yeah great to have a total design episode all the way along. Seem to be bringing that back in more.

This Untucked is...tense.

This week's Ru suit is my favourite ever.

Asia really reminds me of a pretty Jordan Peele.

"That's a great skill to teach a child... to make them gay," made me laugh out loud.

This is just about as iconic a LSFYL moment as I've seen since Roxxy's wig reveal.

It almost flew past me! But then it sunk in and I was amazed. Because lord, that look she gives.

Whatever that song was that made the RA tracks list a year or two ago, the one with the drop that refused to ever happen and a viral video showed crowds getting visibly agitated? That LSFYL moment was a million times better than that song.

Monet had me cackling omg that was brilliant.

Yeah, the design challenge was a great change of pace! It gave the queens more time to breathe and be themselves -- Asia in particular, so glad we got to know her a little bit better.

PS - Vanjie...

Vaaaaaanjie

Vaaaaaaaaaaaaanjie

Anyhoo yeah god that was a lipsync for the ages. Loved it. I am not mad that Aquaria won but I was favoring Miz Cracker myself

Felt bad for Asia - she’s fast becoming a favorite.

i love that they’re still saying vanjie. it’s like there are parallel meme worlds, the one within the show that happened months ago and the one happening now

yeah its great

Miss... Vaaaaaaanjie

Did Ru have conjunctivitis or something when they were filming this season?
