SPOILER ALERT BECAUSE SPOILERSIs anybody truly enjoying this season so far? It's definitely nice to see all my favourite queens again, but more and more I feel the team aspect killed it from the start. It's not fun, it's just unfair and frustrating :| At least Jujubee is hilarious at every turn, when she was talking smack about Alexis I was clapping and cheering - TELL HER. Alexis got on my nerves good this episode (big competition lolol no go away), at least she hasn't been shouting 'bam!' every three seconds TT have some heartbreaking foreshadowingThe "pranking" challenge made me cringe, how is making a fool of yourself on the street a prank? I guess one thing to take away from this episode is that Rupaul's sense of humour is terrible :D Nobody seemed impressed with Raven's face, but I thought it looked awesome? It was a little spooky, yeah, but I thought that was fitting and creative. Manila and Raven's make-up, humour and pizzazz continue to dazzle me, I did not think either of them deserved to be in the bottom two. In the end I kind of feel like the only worthwhile part of the show was Untucked.. Tatiana was unnecessary and forgettable, but everything else - hooo. I've been seeing a side of Chad I've always suspected but he's kept carefully hidden away so far, I guess the gloves are truly coming off? I'm still shocked at the pace of the thing - three episodes in and two of my favourites have been sent home :/ I guess I'll have to root all the harder for my two remaining girls. SO YEAH - THOUGHTS? TEARS?

TEARS. Srsly ;__;. I just watched the last episode (haven't seen Untucked yet, I haven't been able to find it?).
I pretty much agree with you on everything. The team setup was kind of a nasty surprise in the beginning, but I figured I should still try to enjoy the show as best as I can, especially since I assume there's a good reason for the shorter number of episodes. BUT THEN this episode ;____;. I'm such an optimist, I was seriously convinced my four favourites would make it to the top four.
I also hated this challenge. It was awkward and annoying to watch blah. Alexis is my least favourite as well. I'm looking forward to Untucked though!
It's all up to Raven & Jujubee now I guess *_*.

I'm such an optimist, I was seriously convinced my four favourites would make it to the top four. Lol same though :D Especially since Rupaul loves them too? And yet he heavily favoured the Latinas in this episode. But then again I was also shocked when Ongina and Raven didn't win their seasons, guess we can't always have it our way (snif) Tom and Lorenzo think Yara is going to win this season, and I really don't know what to think about that - she actually performed really well in her season but was left behind because she cracked under the pressure and only expressed interest in the cash prize - what could have changed since then? Ugh I miss Manila, she never really got a chance to shine and now all I can picture is her sitting at home watching this episode, all by herself

Seeing how well Manila and Latrice got along was probably my favourite thing to come out of this season so far <3. I just about squealed with joy when they were paired up & I'm so glad they worked together so well and seemed to have fun in the process.
I guess it's possible for Yara to win, and if its anyone aside from Raven or Jujubee, I'd like it to be her? I don't find Chad & Shanel very interesting. But stiillll Raven & Jujubee.

I just caught up with it and i'm so upset that they have to work in pairs! They're all dragging each other down tbh.
I was SO SO SO HAPPY that Tammi Brown was back omg and then she paired up with another of my fave queens Nina Flowerss FLAWLESS. I really wish they would've stuck and i feel they could have but this show is way to normative to handle them SOB.
I think the only ones that aren't dragging each other down, because they're more or less at a similar level, are Jujubee and Raven. I think they could easily make the top because of that. (JUJUBEE IS SO ADORABLE I WANNA BE FRIENDS)
Shannel brings Chad down to a substandard plain Las Vegas queen; it's like Shannel's awful tacky aesthetics bring out Chad's bad taste in the sense that Chad always overshone her aesthetics by how well put together she is/dresses and her personality but Shannel's substandard taste shows us that Chad's taste is really quite similar? Are you following me here, i'm not sure i still am tbh :'D
And Latrice and Manilla! What a glorious pair! Manilla really could've taught Latrice some things fashion-wise and Latrice personality wise to Manilla. In the first challenge Manilla showed how well she could've worked with Latrice; the blue make up on the almost all black outfit except for the bright pink hair piece? SO GOOD. It really showed how lacking Latrice has been in the fashion department ;_;. Again in the runway, where they were teletubbies Latrice's make up and outfit was fab. But then that influence suddenly disappeared? T-T
And UGHHHH i hate Alexis she's always so mad that everyone's reading her but they're telling the truth gah! What a boring aesthetic! She REALLY brings Yara Sofia down ugh, I used to love her so much but now i am constantly distracted by Alexis by her side D;
AND UGH MIMI IMFURST THOUGH WHY WAS SHE THERE

Even without my precious Manila & Latrice I think I enjoyed this new episode the most so far? I felt it was the most fun challenge yet. Jujubee's wig reminded me so much of the Poupée one XD. Apparently the teams will be split up next episode to prepare for the finale? So thank god for that .

I actually just caught up to this the other day, and am so glad the fourth episode just came out! I have no idea why Mimi was even back in the first place though. So annoying. Also, I think Jujubee is really pretty in general, though Chad is my favourite. I am definitely going to miss Manila & Latrice too.

So I just caught up to the last episode. I did like the challenge. But I have to say, I am disappointed Yara did that to Alexis at the end because she was doing, in my opinion, a pretty good job. And Yara ruined it. (Trying not to spoil it for anyone who has not seen)

Yara is such a control freak, we almost had to see that one coming :D I'm happy their team is gone, Yara is really talented but Alexis was bugging me out big time - and it was a deserved sashay cuz Raven worked it OUT. Sometimes I'm almost happy to see my favourites in the bottom two just so I can see them perform, like when Raja and Carmen lipsynched in season 3. Jujubee's wig reminded me so much of the Poupée one XD. Those wigs were giving me liiiiiiife, ugh I want Raven's colour for my poupée! Also thank you for showing me that Manila x Latrice song, it is SO cute! :D Apparently the teams will be split up next episode to prepare for the finale? So thank god for that :D. Finally. I'm really excited to watch all the queens do their own thing and see Shannel go home

Seeing Jujubee's wig made me so happy : DD
Yara's move was so bad, both the button thing and her dance ugh! The song begged for slutty dancing and Raven was perfect for it!
Who are you rooting for now that they're all single babes again? Jujubee is so adorable I'm totally backing her but I don't think she'll make it :C I think Chad and Raven will probably be the last two standing. Shanel will drop out first, of course.

I don't think Jujubee will win either even though she's totally my favourite ;_;. If it's not her I think I'm rooting for Raven? Maybe it's just that her season was so recent but I'm kind of bored with Chad. Also lol if Shanel even makes it into the top three I will be piiiisssed.
And yeah, it was really stupid of Yara to push the button. Someone had to do it, I guess? But even if Alexis wasn't doing well (I think she was doing just fine) you're just interrupting a short lipsync and ruining any of the momentum there is, and without having the time to build up momentum again.
Also yes, Winston. Aside from being terrified that they will get sent home it can be so satisfying to see my favourites lipsyncing. Especially since many of my favourites (like Jujubee and Latrice) are SO good at it *_*.

Oh I'm sure I would love this soooo much! But I have no time to watch it ;-; You sound like someone who won't be able to resist much longer :D Latrice is truly a queen when she performs! The episode where she was in the bottom two and sang about her baby, and like held her belly, I pretty much burst into tears because it was so moving. I really want Jujubee, Raven and Chad as the top three, and have Raven take home the crown, because I thought Raven was perfect in her season, and in the Drag U show (spin-off), and oh yes during every moment of every day :D She deserves for it to rain on her a little bit, and that gay cruise. Although if Manila had still been around I would have rooted for her too, I've been in love with her aesthetic and sense of humour for years. Anyways time for drag queen cosplay y/y?

Yeah your cosplay is so flawless Winston *_*. Even the shoes match so well!
Also, I've been wondering whether I should watch Drag U.. Is it fun?

Post by winston on Nov 18, 2012 4:51:41 GMT 9
Drag U is okay, I find it a little hard to watch sometimes because the female contestants are usually painfully awkward and there's a good deal of fat shaming - but the queens are sweet and fabulous - I totally recommend you watch the episodes that feature your favourite queens ^^ you can check out some clips here and see if it floats your boat

I agree with Winston. I have watched a couple episodes myself, and they are not my cup of tea. Sometimes the contestants feel like they do not want to be there or are really awkward. But you should try it out and see if you like it or not yourself.

Okay, thanks! I'll check out an episode with Manila sometime and see how I like it ^^.
So, how did everyone feel about the latest episode? Unfortunately, the person who told me teams would split up this episode was wrong : (. Still, I liked the challenge again this week.
Some other thoughts: - I loved Ru in the mask! - just how obsessed is Chad with The Hunger Games? XD I feel like she says that quote every episode. - shut up Santino!
I don't want to spoil the episode for those who haven't seen it yet, so I'll shut up now ^^.

omggggg the lipsync this week was amazing SO MANY TEARS UGH
I adored both Raven and Jujubee's look and story so much! UGH I want Jujubee's wig IRL hair omg ;_; And yess that mask! They kept showing it on Untucked (stop spoilering us D;) and I couldn't wait to see her entire outfit and it was flawless as always ^o^

Can Santino jump off a cliff? ಠ_ಠ I always suspected that couch remark he made at Latrice was really about her size and not about the dress, thanks for proving me right you tosspot
I noticed Chad and her Hunger Game quoting too :D I think it's cute though! And I loooved Raven's mask, she looked dead and plastic and it was amazing, I much preferred her concept over Shanel's and it bugged me that Chad used that same wig again, but oh wellz. The lipsync was ripping my heart out, I'm so glad Rupaul did whatever she wanted and let them both stay ;___________; Drag Race had been becoming kind of formulaic and bland to me (they've even started bleeping out the cussing), but that move was old school Drag Race all the way <3
I haven't seen Untucked yet, I'm looking forward to it ^^

My thoughts about the episode are as followed:
- Oh Gosh, I loved the basketball game. It really made me laugh. - I was a bit shocked Chad was being so raunchy at first, but I still love her so much. - Not going to lie, Shanel just bugs the heck out of me. - I loved all the outfits, but especially Raven's, the mask really worked for her. - Holy Shit. I really hate Santino. :I - Okay. That lip sync had me sobbing. Now I am going to think of them whenever I hear that song on my ipod. Though, If I had to choose, Jujubee did a way better job than Raven. - So glad they both could stay! Now I need to watch Untucked and the bonus scenes.

Wait what did Santino say this episode? I guess I've trained myself to tune out whenever I hear his voice because UGHHHH T-T
I feel Jujubee's lipsync was better too but you two should watch untucked before we can have a discussion about this ok : D

Santino said that comment about Raven's padding and something like how she looked fat??? And then in Untucked there was the scene where he said Jujubee just looked like she was in a club? When I thought Rujubee looked AWESOME and very superhero-ish.
I loved Untucked *_*. But mostly I need a gif of Jujubee licking that glass XDD.

He said he's seen Raven pad "beautifully and womanly", but this time around she looked fat. Because when you're fat you can be neither beautiful or look like a woman, am I right?
I'm watching Untucked tonight : D
