It's baa-haack~~The new season is well on its way, time to discuss y'all *-* ~~SPOILER ALERT~~FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Detox - I love the overly confident ones They usually spend the season whining that either nobody will recognize how amazing they are, or crying because it's harder than they thought it would be. Also, someone pointed out to me that the queens that enter the workroom first end up never winning the season, so I guess Detox is kind of screwed ;; But I like her funny *-* Roxxxy - SHE IS SO CUTE OUT OF DRAG OH MY GOD. I didn't really enjoy her first drag look tho ;-; she looked kind of old and reminded me of Mariah - not very original. I don't like her snark that much either, I really only like snarky when it's effortless (HMMM RAJA) Jade Jolie - INSTANT FAVOURITE MAYBE? D: OMG HER MOUTH AND VOICE ARE PERFECT IDEFK PLEASE KEEP GIGGLING Serena - Meh? She said she likes fine art drag but came in wearing something pretty but a little forgettable.. and the way she was ragging on Detox and Roxxxy having fun made her seem insecure and nasty - nuuu Glasscock flashbacks TT Annoying. Alyssa - WEEERK. Holy moly so much plastic surgery ;; bless. Her story about her crown being taken away from her confused me - what? why? I guess we'll find out later - but bless an older queen who manages to look fabulous and funky Jinkx - A little creepy, a little heroin chic, I am intrigued~ the narcolepsy thing is definitely going to be interesting \o/ She's also a little dumb? Sob I love that. Penny - PRETTY - I hope you can live up to your internet vote bb *^* Also yay for cross-eyedness Vivienne - I LOVED that first outfit - hm yes rockabilly give it to me. I'm afraid she'll just be pretty and nothing more tho Alaska - ALASKA. SOB. I've been anticipating her joining in since like season 2? Omg I'm so freaking biased, Alaska has already won in my heart okay T_T In before people saying she's only a contestant because of her boyfriend - NOPE. Why did she flounder so bad during her first challenge tho Nuuu Alassie Honey - So fierce *-* But possibly really boring *-* Ivy - YAY CREATIVE QUEEN Monica - I like her personality and her gorgeous smile :3 Ghetto fabulous yas Lineysha - I saw her audition tape and I was blinded by her beauty. The heavy accent is a little worrying though, since queens who can't be clever in English tend to do bad in humour-based challenges But she's really confident, so hopefully that will help her. Coco - Her "vendetta" with Alyssa made me cackle, but what else does she have going on? -- EPISODE 1Lineysha's wallpaper dress was very impressive - but I wasn't displeased about Roxxxy winning *-* I was sad to see Penny go home straight away without us having a chance to see more of her personal wardrobe, but Serena really did perform better in the lipsynch. Monica worried me with all her crying in Untucked - no girl ;_; you have it in you, get it together. EPISODE 2It was good to see that Lineysha could hold her own despite the language barrier <33 Serena didn't manage to survive her second lipsynch, and with good reason - Monica blew. my. mind. So soulful! So passionate! I read a lot of cynical remarks about her coming out, but I personally think it's fudging awesome. Jade turned out to be surprisingly shady, and Honey isn't having it <-< EPISODE 3Aka the episode that made me officially be over Cocolyssa Gate - Coco, why are you acting like this? D: You won, you're a mature lady, be classy! Anyways, I thought she deserved to win the lipsynch but I was sad to see Monica go - it feels like when they kept going on about big girls representing in the first couple of seasons, and then they would always be the first ones to go. And as much as I like Detox, Jinkx utterly stole my heart in this episode and I think the win should have gone to her; Also, please tell me I'm not the only one sailing the Detoxxxy ship n.n RESOURCESepisodes: thepiratebay.se/user/fabutrash/reviews: www.tomandlorenzo.com/tag/rupauls-drag-race-season-5www.youtube.com/user/THROWINSHADEShare your thoughts and annoyances, ladies <3

I didn't even notice this shirt when I was watching the episode! I feel like she's gonna get on my nerves with her backstabbiness, but I can't help but love anyone who has this much gummage going for her ;-;

I just watched ep. 3 and oh child! Jade is seriously entrenching herself in that backstabbing role. D: Maybe she'll be fab, fab, faaaaaaaaab, and distract me from that negative energy.

I was waiting for someone to make this topic, or I might have even ended up making it for myself eventually. Okay. On to some of my thoughts.
1. I hated Serena and so glad she left early. Though I am sad we would not get to see more of Penny. I am hoping they might bring her back since she was the one voted in by the fans originally.
2. Coco really peeved me in the third episode. Girl, you are an older queen, be more of a role model and let it go.
3. Sad Monica went. I think she could have been really good if maybe she put more effort in. I mean, she even said she had the script/her words in front of her in episode 3.
4. I really love so many of the queens. Detox, Roxxy, Jade, Alyssa, Jinkx, Alaska, though that boy drag was a no-no, and Ivy.
5. RuPaul needs to stop saying Ivy Winter's name like that.

The fourth episode is only halfway through, but I just have to say that I was so excited about Travis Wall and Nick Lazzarini on the show as Choreographers.
Edit 1: The dancing was alright, though I think Jinkx's team did a much better job. And Santino's face at one point during Roxxy's and Vivienne's performance was hilarious.
Edit 2: Pretty sure Alyssa is going to win this challenge and Vivienne is going to be one of the bottom.
Edit 3: HOLY SHIT! I did not see that coming. I totally agree with RuPaul about the lack of energy, but wow. Just wow.

I've really been enjoying this new season and these queens <33. Though I've been bored with the Coco/Alyssa 'rivalry' since basically the first episode so I hope they are done whining about that ^^;;. I watched the newest episode today and yeah, Jinx's team was much more enjoyable. Their performance was fun whether or not the dancing was off, which is most important for this show . As for the lip sync, omg, I'm so glad they were both sent home really. I don't really have a favourite at the moment, but I think it might be between Jinx, Ivy and Alaska. I loooved Ivy's Victor/Victoria outfit <33.

I finally caught up with the show and I'm really liking this season so far! There's so many cute queens, though tbqh I still can't tell most of them apart? I am h o r r i b l e with names and faces D;
I have to say, I adore Alaska, you were right, Winston. You're always right ;_;.
Anyway, I also love Jinx, Roxxxy & Detox! And I kinda love Jade too (I kind of love her annoying voice and her never-ending smile :DD) but I think her negativity will make me end up hating her D;. I think I also like Ivy but I keep forgetting who she is hahah.
OMG HOW CUTE WAS THAT PART BETWEEN ROXXXY AND DETOX OMGGGGG
Also, seriously? Alaska's boy drag really didn't bother me? It bothered me that RuPaul has such an old-fashioned way of looking at drag and gender!
I REALLY WANNA SEE MORE OF ROXXXY AND DETOX TOGETHER THOUGH

So the episode just ended and I have tons of thoughts about it:
Wow. I did not agree with those picks for who wore it best. I think it should have been Coco, Lineysha, and Jade. I was worried about Lineysha doing Michelle Obama with her accent and such. This could be a mistake. And Alyssa Edwards in the background drinking out of that glass with a really long straw made me laugh. Right now I am thinking Jinkx might rock this, or maybe I am just biased because I love her.
It is pretty good Alyssa has immunity; I do not think she is doing too well. I think Jinkx is rocking it and Coco was damn jealous. Anywho, I think Lineysha is definitely going to be in the bottom. And then maybe Detox or Ivy with her. Jade was wearing an Adventure Time hat. I love her. Though I totally forgot about her in the Snatch Game. Her Taylor Swift was not bad, but it just faded into the background of everyone else.
I am so upset. I know they are catty bitches and this drama happens, but I just hate how they are picking on Jinkx. I love her so much. And there goes Alyssa and Coco being catty over their drama again. I am just done with that whole thing already.
Okay. Damn. Lineysha looked great on the runaway tonight. Daaamn RuPaul. Though I am so glad Ru said Alyssa she had to tweet Katy Perry an apology. She really did ruin her. I think they both did good at the lipsynch, but I am pretty glad Detox stayed.

Yess, Jinkx is definitely my favourite now <3. She rocked it tonight, not only the snatch game but it was also adorable how she was giving herself courage on the runway. I really hope Michelle and Santino aren't just gonna bring her down every week >_>. Alaska did pretty well at the snatch game too, but I'm not surprised about that at all . I thought Coco and Jade would be better though, kind of? Jade was okay but never really hilarious and Coco was just never funny? She was boasting about being so good at Janet I had higher expectations for her. Ivy was a big disappointment too, gah, I can't even. And yay for Jade's Adventure Time hat! I haven't seen untucked yet. It always takes so long for this show to show up online T_T.

I haven't seen untucked yet. It always takes so long for this show to show up online T_T. Untucked was a big mess at first because they had Jade, Coco, and Alyssa in the back all alone. It was actually annoying to me, all that drama. I just did not want to hear it anymore. This season I have been watching it on TV, but the last couple I had to watch online, and yeah, it does take a while for it to show up online.

I agree completely with you on Jinxk, Skooter! And AAAAHHH I freaked when she did Little Edie I LOVE GREY GARDENS SO MUCH and Jinxk just did an absolutely perfect job ;_;. TBQH I didn't think so last times but this time her runway outfit was SO DULL though guh! I also liked Alaska and Roxxxy this week! They were the only ones that actually didn't do horrible in the snatch game imho! I was getting real bored with Detox this week though but then she did the lipsync! SO CUTE AAAAHH. I love her again. I also like that she wanted to dress as a jellyfish? But it really didn't come off as that D;. It would've been super cute had the fabrics been white and see through and polka dotted and very ruffled though! I'm thinking the exact same silhouette but the whole bodice is ruffled and then there's a see-through layer of polkadots on top of it all and then she should wear white see-through polka dotted tights and maybe a couple of ruffled socks, aah that could've been a cute outfit. I want that outfit. I haven't seen untucked yet. It always takes so long for this show to show up online T_T. Also, Skooter, you should look up 'rupauls drag race fabutrash', it's a torrent with both untucked and the show itself ^o^.

So I thought I would talk about last Mon's episode since we are like 2 days until the new one. Detox's move was a bit underhanded, putting Coco and Alyssa together, but I can understand why. I mean, this is a competition and she wants to win. It seemed like Alyssa was actually trying to work with Coco, but Coco was having none of that shit. She was just not into the song at all and unprofessional in calling Detox out while they were about to begin. I really just wanted her off the show. Though I am not disappointed that Jade was made to Sashay away. I am annoyed with Michelle always seeming to put down Jinkx and Alaska. Those are two of my favourite girls and it gets me all annoyed.

I agree with you Odi. Of course it was strategic of Detox to put Coco and Alyssa together, but seriously, what else did they expect?
I liked the last episode too. Jinx and Alaska are totally my faves. I hope they put the Sharon Needles stuff to rest now though! Once you get to know Alaska it becomes absurd to constantly compare them, gah.
I'm ready for Coco and Alyssa to both go home, it's really weird how one always annoys me more than the other in each episode but it switches up a lot (though I think it's mostly Coco?) XD.

The last episode was so cute! The one before I honestly don't remember at all so I'm not talking about it, it was so dull. I loved the ending of Ru's Roast episode ;_; SO MANY TEARS Also I get the critique of Alaska's silhouette being constantly the same but, hey, what about Ru's silhouette these past five seasons? She has constantly been wearing the same dress over and over and it's seriously starting to bore me. I've considered it being intentional, like her catchphrases, but it doesn't come over right at all. Ru needs a makeover and everyone needs to stop bitching about Alaska. I love the character she has created; Alaska is super sweet and a little ditzy but a little mean and so freaking cute . Her silhouette is always the same but she's in character and it hasn't bored me yet! Jinx was so great too! I agree with Michelle Visage, her runway look was finally something to look at! She looked really lovely and I adored the character she played; a little glam mean drunk lady . She's also so funny . Tbqh I also adored how Alyssa kept laughing at her own t e r r i b l e jokes, haha?! I want Ivy Winters to go home because I keep forgetting who she is and Ru's pronunciation of her name is driving me nuts. STOP IT RU.

IKR!! I can't complain about Ivy, it's really her time to go but aargh I'm so sad I can't see more of this crush storyline now ;_;. I hope there's a lovely reveal in store in the reunion episode *_*.
Coco NEEDS to go next, I am so sick of her dominating Untucked with her constant attacks against the other queens.
It's getting closer to the top 3, who does everybody hope will get in? I'm going for Jinkx, Alaska and Detox but as long as Jinkx and Alaska are there (and Coco isn't!) I'm good.

Aww, yes it would have been nice to see their relationship revolve but how cute would it be to see that they're super close and/or in a relationship in the reunion episode? Yes omg hmmm totally~
I'm rooting for Jinx and Alaska, too! I don't really care who else will be in the top but I'd be nice if it were a top four with Detox, Roxxxy (I love their relationship as well!), Alaska and Jinx ^o^
Yes omg, seriously, Coco is SO ANNOYING mostly because her drama is just so damn boring? Get over yourself, girl ugh T-T.

I think it would be awesome if Jinkx and Ivy got together or something outside of this. They are just both super cute!! Honestly Jinkx and Alaska are my favourite and I was so mad at Coco in Untucked. Coco is just really getting on my nerves and I hope she goes next episode. I want her gone.

Ugh this season is borinnngggg meeee ahhhh. I think this is gonna be my last Ru season, I'm so over this format and the talentless queens T-T TBQH. Jinx is seriously going too far in her insecurity. Like sure be insecure but I don't want to hear it anymore BLAH (this is more the fault of the editors though, STOP MILKING HER) and I'm sorry not sorry but that appropriative Dias de los Muertos costume? No thanks. G R O S S. Almost all of the runway outfits had some serious eye-roll quality to it though. bllaaaAAAAHHHHHHGggpppprrrtguuhhhew Still rooting for Alaska though, she has some realness in her & is still super cute. Too bad about her super racist boyfriend.
