RuPaul’s Drag Race

i watched it a while back and found it very entertaining

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

So excited! Rooting for Manila, JuJu Bee, and Raven!

 

[BonesAndOil]

I looooove Manila. I spent a good portion of my time a while ago watching her behind the scenes footage of her season on youtube. She's hilarious.

 

[heelscatchfire]

Manila is hilarious, she reall stood out in her season. I'm rooting for her and Alexis. This new season should be very entertaining. I wonder if any of the winners will come back as a mentor or something

 

[heelscatchfire]

Sad news. Sahara Davenport died earlier this week. She was Manila's partner. I hope the new season does a tribute. http://www.eonline.com/news/351101/sahara-davenport-death-rupaul-s-drag-race-contestant-died-of-heart-failure

Have you seen the first episode of all stars? what do yall think of the concept this season!?

HATE the new concept with a passion!
Poor Pandora. She's so likable, charming, and hilarious and unfortunately was eliminated due to Mimi. I've heard people arguing that she herself gave up by not involving herself and having a pessimistic outlook on it. Regardless if she did, we all know that team had no hope with Mimi in it. Anyone paired with Mimi would've been leaving. Also, if it's teams, then the # of episodes should shorten, no?

the new concept is so lame. not every girl will get a chance to lip sync for her life, which is so disappointing. i don't get the point of having all-stars when they are forced in pairs and are reduced to half a season. i certainly don't think it's a budget issue, especially when they remodeled the gold bar and interior illusions lounge in untucked.

chad and shannel bore me to tears - no personality and boring staged theatrics. and as much as i love pandora, juju, raven, manila, and latrice, but the best part for me so far has to be tammie brown! her facial expressions and her complete wacky nonsense and randomness is non-stop entertainment. i was laughing with her the whole time.

 

[Zann]

my biggest pet peeve is that if you watched the first 2 minutes of untucked, it gave away the elimination order!!! You can easily tell who the final two are! With pairs its soooo easy to determine who is not there because you are looking for two people instead of one!

I know! Mimi is dead weight, and I think was brought back ONLY for ratings; there are soooo many more talented queens than her. You could definitely tell Pandora was upset (!!!) that she got paired w/ Mimi. And yeah, now that everybody is paired in teams, there are less episodes this season (6 according to wikipedia). I wonder if they'll throw us a surprise and bring back Pandora; after all, if Sahara died while taping, then that would mean Manila would have to leave, meaning there'd be an opening..maybe.

Ugh--Yara & Alexis..that's all I have to say about those two.

 

[Zann]

I love what Raven said during untucked. Go watch Untucked if you haven't seen it.

Anyways, I don't think this was filmed when Sahara died. I think that they filmed it in literally 6 days and everyone went on their way. They probably filmed it right before or after the black light preview came out.

I think they split the pairs when it comes down to the final four. I am not sure but only one can win right?

 

[eugenius]

If anybody's interested, the Feast of Fun podcast on iTunes always has interviews with the contestants. So far, I've heard interviews w Sharon, Manila, Latrice, Phi Phi and Michelle Visage. Good stuff, esp. Latrice's interview.

 

[BonesAndOil]

I love what Raven said during untucked. Go watch Untucked if you haven't seen it.

To Mimi?

I hate how they're in pairs this season. They HAVE to spilt later on in the season (if you can even call it a season )

 

[Zann]

someone said that wikipedia has only 6 episodes listed. was that on here? It might have been on tumblr.

Anyways last night! Get a box of tissues if you are going to watch untucked!

I feel like the person who did the lip sync for the losing team was robbed!

 

[happytrail]

^no, i'm with you. i love the winning team, but ol' crazy lady nailed that lip sync performance, and should have stayed. i thought the elimination was more of a personal vendetta from michelle visage, since ol' crazy lady put michelle in her place, which was wonderful

i'm in the minority i'm sure, but i feel like untucked is a waste of 30 minutes, even though the last one was good. all the unnecessary drama really bugs me. i would rather just have the show be 90 minutes and include more footage of the challenges, all footage of their runway presentations, more critique footage, and especially the ENTIRE lip sync for your life performances.

I have to say, this All-Stars season isn't very exciting. Like Drag U, I'm sure Logo just whipped this up as an afterthought to cash in on the franchise...like when big-name womenswear labels say "Oh, look..we have menswear now."

I saw a pic on my FB feed for next season's official cast. One word: Alaska.

What's with the Alaska hype? I've never heard of her, but could you share your thoughts on her? From Facebook to Tumblr, everyone seems to love her. I haven't seen an image of hers, so I have no idea how her drag looks like.
The only one I'm personally fond of is Detox. I found about her through Willam and I'm absolutely in love with her.

I don't know much about her, other than the fact she has a STUPID drag-name IMO..plus, she's (he's) Sharon's BF, and he auditioned a few times in the previous seasons, and was rejected, while Sharon auditioned just once, and got accepted. As far as what he looks like in drag or what his "schtick" is, that, I have no clue. Here's a pic (src: lipsyncforyourlife tumblr)

Idk, I saw her interview on NNN and she just comes off as trying a bit too hard. I mean, she tried out every season and now that Sharon won, she's finally on the show? There was one wacky drag queen who reminded me of Tammie Brown. Idk, she's very into broadway and I really enjoyed her interview. Also, I feel like this has to be the most fishiest season thus far.

 

[Zann]

eh i mean good for Alaska for finally making it after 4 seasons of trying out but I mean I gotta feel bad for her/him because your significant other won last season and NOW everyone is paying attention to you.

Alaska reminds me of Sharon's weirdness in the "meet the queen" video with that voice and crazy responses. I don't see her winning. Maybe top 5?
