booyah!
Latrice's looks are not on par with the other girls. I love the fringe on her bodysuit for a lipsync outfit, but those boots!? I came into this season wanting her to win it all but now I'm somewhat against her coming back and it did feel like misguided fanservice. Her attitude is not endearing her to me either, as many others have said, but I wonder too how much of that is just trying to produce drama for reality tv - it just seems really out of character for her.

Having two episodes in a row where no one goes home really amps down the stakes... snooze. I also think sidelining two of the strongest queens for a whole episode doesn't make for great tv. I like the idea of this format for the Returning Queens episode, but I think it was poorly executed.

Valentina really killed that lipsync, but uh, where was Farrah? I didn't like that they basically edited her out - what was she doing? Was she any good? It seems clear Val was doing better, but at least let me see what her competition offered, I only saw a few seconds of Farrah the entire time. It also makes it really obvious who's going to win when they do that.

I don't think Latrice has the chops to win a challenge at this point. I wonder if there's going to be another moment where Manila has to decide to send her home - that would be an interesting conclusion to the storyline they've created for Manila about saving her friend.

Gonna chime in and agree with pretty much everyone that I love Latrice, but she totally lost that lipsync and I don't think she deserves to win at this point. I do think she got edited to look more "entitled" (ugh), but regardless of attitude she hasn't done anything over-the-top this season, in terms of either performance or looks.

DRT S2E2: That photoshoot idea was amazing, and a lot of it reminded me of Dragula's Wasteland Weekend shoot--Bandit was giving me Abhorra realness, and Genie was definitely on that horror train too. I'm starting to prefer DRT over regular Drag Race now that they're more confident in doing their own thing. Plus I like their Werk Room design more.

e: also calling someone a "sea iguana bitch" is pretty wonderful. Gimhuay, I may repeatedly refer to you as mabuhay on accident, but you're rad

Drag Race Thailand's challenges consistently crack me up. I loved the challenge last year where there was a photoshoot with two other models that both actively tried to block them from getting a good photo.

I'm cheering for Tormai, Kana (Grown up Shin Chan), Bandit and Katy Killer.

And Panpan. Every loving week Panpan.

I'm saving DRT for after All Stars but drat is it hard. A friend and I binged the first season over Thanksgiving and I was beyond pleasantly surprised at how much I loved it. All of the challenges were a hit (maybe a bit too many advertisement challenges?) and everything felt so fresh compared to American Drag Race at this point. Can't wait to finally start S2. :kimchi:

Same. I can't watch DRT in parallel with US Drag Race, because the contestants in DRT are just so much stronger and held to such a higher standard that it makes RPDR feel like a chore.

Yeah, a lot of my friends have stopped watching because they feel they haven't been given enough time to feel excited about the show yet. I'm still watching, I still enjoy it, but I'm not as excited as I used to be. I used to feel like the 3 months out of the year that we had Drag Race wasn't enough, but now it's like 3 months that we don't have Drag Race, and it doesn't feel as special. Especially with an All Stars every year. Not all of these queens are All Stars.

I'm happy to see a lot of the girls back, but it seems really soon for some of them, especially the season 10 gals like Monique and Monet who miss out on the "where are they now" effect that I usually enjoy from AS seasons.

Apropos of nothing, I fell down a garbage hole and started watching Toddlers and Tiaras as my background-noise show, and there's an episode with a Vegas pageant that has Derrick Barry (as Britney) and Coco Montrese (as Rihanna) as judges. It's like, hey, I know you!

IMDB said Shangie was there too but some crazy how I missed her in the episode

Pretty sure Alyssa is on as a coach/dance teacher in a couple episodes, too.

E: Ew, there's also that one family where the parents are obsessed with Ru and openly state that they only had children for the pageants because it was the closest thing to raising drag queens. Also, that they only have two kids because their first was a boy- although he had to do the pageants anyways, and IIRC he had a rattail. Oh God that loving show.

Sport man not good at interviews, a proud tradition. Top comment on Youtube is "why does this seem like it was filmed in someone's basement?" and I'm over here like, inquiring minds want to know.

Takes no one cares about (first impressions, due to time constraints):
A'keria Davenport: legendary family, giving me Charlie Hides supervillain
Ariel Versace has a Naomi face and Vanjie body...
Brooke Lynne Heights lookin' like Alexis Michelle with 150% scaling
Honey Davenport: another Davenport, unique look, I hope she does cool/out-there costumes.
Kahanna: ChiChi + Frisbee
Mercedes Iman Diamond: okay I'm getting name fatigue and am becoming an old lady, but you're not fooling anyone, Jaidynn Dior Fierce
Nina West: giving me Trixie DuJour and I love
Plastique Tiara: THAT'S A WOMAN MAURY
Rajah O'Hara: Monique Zahara Benet
Scarlett Envy: Wowza, that's a bold look. Not in a bad way. Girl knows her brand.
Shuga Cain: Love her style already.
Silky Nutmeg Ganache: HELL YEAH I know I'm gonna be riding that train all season
Soju: I'm getting an exquisite corpse vibe from her outfit, it's like the top, middle, and bottom are from different people
Yvie Oddly: Oh poo poo hell yeah
