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

Nothing India's done so far has struck me as egregiously bad, either.

Okay, first episode of Canada's Drag Race is up, anyone else watch? (Would have picked a different lip sync song, but yes of course, that artist.)

I haven't seen it yet because they're playing it on Crave here, which I don't have. But our homegirl Rita Baga's in it, so it'll be difficult to open Facebook without getting any spoilers. Hopefully the bars will start viewing parties soon (or I could just subscribe to Crave I guess.)

I like how harsh the judges were. and Jeffrey Bowyer Chapman trying to imitate Ru's mannerisms

Is it filmed at the same location/stage as Ru's Drag Race?

Didn't look like it at all, honestly. Similar to how the UK set clearly wasn't the US one!

Stacy was brilliant, but she was brilliant on ANTM too. Brooke Lynn's mediocre competence is really highlighted in how unpresent she seemed as a host.

Stunning episode of All Stars. Jujubee, Shea, Alexis, and Run were all amazing and very funny. I properly laughed at both Eartha Kitt and Flavor Flav. Ru's dress and makeup were so beautiful. And so much DRAMA! I loved it.

that was honestly the hardest I've laughed during Snatch Game..... maybe ever?

like Alexis's Walter Mercado was funnier than anything we get out of most Snatch Games and it was only the 3rd best performance

All the drama, all the laughs, what a ride. And yeah, Alexis couldn't've pulled off being pre-publicity for the Mercado doc on Netflix next week if she and they had planned it.

I don’t know if anyone follows YouTube drama, but bad timing for picking Jeffree Star!

it is ALWAYS bad timing to pick Jeffree Starr!!!!

True!!!

I had no reference for Walter Mercado & Alexis slayed me... and Shea’s Flav...and Juju’s Eartha... i laughed til I cried

Anddd omg the DRAMZ

Great episode

also real talk India Farrah was a total snore for me in this series & i am glad she’s gone but bless her for that stunt

My favourite moment was Jujubee in her prom gear taking a quick sip of her drink and heading off to get the Goss, just like at a real prom!

If Shea doesn't win this whole thing now, with Jujubee a close second, well... I just don't know.

I felt so bad that anyone is laughing at Shea for losing out to Sasha in their series, and I love her for reclaiming that moment for herself.

It's also interesting how drag itself has changed over the years. Those massive fake boobs that India favours are so old-fashioned.

Yeah that was *fucked up* to learn about.

I'm watching Canada episode 2 right now (just started so I won't be spoiling anything) but if Jimbo a) doesn't make it to snatch game or b) play a kids in the hall character what are we even doing up here

Quite right. Fun episode but both those skits took way longer than I figured. Pacing!

Good lip sync assassin choice, that.

slayed. literally no-one else on stage but her

I genuinely did not recognize her.

It took me a couple of seconds too.

i am annoyed that they sent alexis home
i kinda get why but i just dont rate blair that much. she hasn’t done anything this season except SAY how much she wants to win

i think alexis is better but thats obv not what they are voting on

Definitely was a shocker, and I do love Blair. She's usually stunning and gives her all in the challenges, but last night she failed in both runways. Alexis's pageant kiddie pool gown was awesome.

right!?

I do think Shea is objectively the best of them all, but man, I just love Jujubee and I wish she could win.

same same

lol I had no idea that was Roxxy until someone said her name

i knew it was her right away

but she does her eyemakeup v weird now, i get that she is harder to recognize

Yeah, I wish the All Stars tie hadn't already been used up last time around. Juju + Shea is a tie I can fully endorse.

Speaking of eye makeup, I ... died for Blair's mug this week.

her mug was gorgeous, it is true

blair's runway walk and general way of moving is so awkward and gawky, it's kinda antithetical to the level of glamour she seems to be attempting to project

so otm

her walk is very “Mother/Daughter Fashion Show at the mall”

I like her very much, but she is not in the same league as the others. She should have gone home instead of Alexis. Alexis could maybe have bought herself another week if she'd been as generous with her sewing expertise as Shea was.
I actually can't remember if India was telling the truth about Alexis campaigning against Shea or not.

also: can anyone link me to proof of miz cracker ever actually being funny? please don't act like the pickle thing counts. the pickle thing being funny is a psy op

she's like the bill hicks of drag at this point

Miz was good with the TMZ scene, tho Juju still ran circles around her in bringing the funny.

Cracker is funnier on Youtube, though she's been noticeably absent from it for the AS5 run.

i have no clue about the whole India vs Alexis drama except that I think that the truth is somewhere in the middle

also i am tired of it already lol

cracker is funny in the way that you likely have a friend who is a laff riot when you're at dinner or drinks or w/e but it's not like they're planning on becoming a professional comedian anytime soon

India you're a liar, and this is why Derrick don't like you.

It was after I voted.

Oh yeah seeing all the truth tea about how it was post-vote removes any shred of possibility that this wasn’t completely disingenuous and dishonest. What an asshole.

And for WHAT?? Like surely in your heart of hearts you must know that after 4x in the bottom, you’re not going to win, so why would you pull such a desperate hail-mary to stay if it’s going to fracture a working relationship/friendship??

Like I really did want to believe this was India being like “hey I know I’m going home, so just between us girls, blah blah blah” but now that no longer makes sense

India is the worst

Meanwhile there was also this from the other day

Maybe she's hoping that her messiness makes her "the bitch you love to hate" which gets her invited back? Although that sort of person is always "the bitch who makes me sorry to see her taking up a space", but I don't cast reality TV series, so what do I know?

Don’t get me wrong.

I love Reba McIntyre, and I LOVE “Fancy”

But they chose THAT song
For THAT assassin? Or maybe it was chosen before the assassin was idk

But that was a real non starter of a lipsync and a waste of a song because they couldnt do anything with it! neither of them are that kind of performer.

That’s a Sasha Velour or Latrice or Chad Michaels track. DRAMA. Not dancin.
