I've just watched Untucked and I'm super over A'Keria Davenport. Like, you didn't know Muslims go to mosque and worship Allah, don't go after Plastique for only learning about Beyonce four years ago. It may have been a lame excuse, but you do not get to dismiss Plastique's immigrant experience like that. She's going to have different cultural touchstones and icons, especially since she's only 21 and came to the States 10 years ago speaking zero English.

I'm an immigrant myself, so my hackles raise when an immigrant gets dunked on for not being fluent in American pop culture. We have to keep on top of our cultural poo poo and yours as well. It's tiring.

Hell yeah. I haven't been watching Untucked, but I was really thrown off kilter by everyone asking Mercedes to basically explain Islam while she's getting ready for runway. Let a gal work.

And preach my immigrant pal, my friends joke that I'm like Captain America getting unthawed because every time they name whatever movie everyone knows I'm like "it's on my list". Being an immigrant with zero money (dunno about Plastique but my family didn't have any money, so it's my experience I'm talking about) and zero language means movies and other pop culture is either off limits or so outside of your priorities it's easy not to have seen lots of things "everyone knows".

I think it’s way off base to compare getting breast implants removed, even if it’s for weird conspiracy reasons, to anti-vax stuff. Kids aren’t dying if someone gets their implants out, even if it might be for suspect reasons.

Exactly. It's her body and her choice, it affects literally no one else. I know it's a bit of a trademark of hers but anyone actually caring about this is kind of weirding me out.

Yeah. I miss when they had it on youtube for free because paying for a 20 min supplement show is basically a ripoff. That being said, I got a refund from Amazon last year because they put untucked episodes out like a week late so gently caress buying untucked, anyway you can just go here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x749azk

Woo, nice thanks. I have now seen that mess of an Untucked episode and gently caress you guys were right. Loving and living for Yvie, though.

I really like Untucked half because I can actually get a good look at their costumes/makeup up close :v: I liked Nina's outfit way more after I saw it on Untucked.

I also hope we get more runway variety out of Vanjie soon. It's the only thing I think she needs improvement on so far, her looks have all been black hair/red outfit/glitter chest. They've been GOOD, but I just wanna see more...because I want her to fuckin win.

The only comparable "solid team effort" I could think of was S6 Shade! the Rusical. I don't know if you could say either team were better than Nina's team this week but the entire cast overall did well in that challenge, it's one of my favorites.

Hey, even Beyoncé and Kelly have to carry Michelle... (fuckin Vanjie.)

I was thinking about why Yvie being confrontational in Untucked didn't bother me, apart from that I'm painfully in love with her in general, and I think it's this: I'm normally really impatient with people who insist on everyone being 100% honest all the time. Social fictions exist for a reason, including that there'd be way more violent murders if they didn't, and "just be totally honest no matter what" types usually operate from a fearful place -- they hate the thought that anyone might be putting one over on them.

However, I don't think this is true of Yvie, esp given the smoke-break conversation. She's trying to make this glittery bullshit fiesta useful, as an exercise in good human-development practice. I haven't seen anything like that on the show before -- Drag Race almost as sequestered spiritual order. She's a weird one, and I kinda wish more people were the same flavor of weird.

Yeah. Yvie seems to be using Drag Race as a way of not only bettering herself to be who she wants to be, but also of being extremely public about how people can and should change. That's why it needs to be Asia's Drag Race, with Vanjie as Michelle Visage, and Yvie as Ross Matthews. Either Aquaria or Raja can be the new Carson.

This was one of the best most entertaining episodes in a long time. The mini-challenge was a hoot. Team Britney was genuinely funny. Vanjie is a godsdamn national treasure. Team Maria was so bad it wrapped around to mildly entertaining as a train wreck. Not sure why their team leader didn't get the brunt of the criticism like similar past challenges. Too much decision by committee and not enough leadership and vision. Then the lip sync was a glorious WTF hot mess. And then finally the tension of handing out shantays was riveting as I scrambled to do the math in my head to decide which warmed over turd of a performance was marginally better. I was thoroughly invested from start to finish.

Rucappela was pretty decent overall I feel like, with Chichi's team pretty much nailing the whole thing, if I remember right.

I wanted Ra'jah in the bottom in a standard lip sync because when someone mentioned Mariah's Emotions she started singing Whitney's So Emotional and I'm like "How do you gently caress that up?" Her mouth is seriously writing checks her drag can't cash. I did like the 6-way lip sync just for its fuckery, tho.

Yvie is a great. Nina is great. Vanjie is a goddess. Silky is...not those things.

Absolutely agreed. I want Vanjie to win this season and every season thereafter but her runway looks are mostly just competent middle-of-the-road stuff so far. Nothing to call out as unskilled or anything, but nothing that's made me say "wow" yet either.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

So the six-way lipsync was kind of a mess, so if you had to pick a bottom two for that last episode, who would you pick? The conversion was the least of a trainwreck to me; A'keria was pretty watchable and Plastique's demonic voice was at least skirting the line of being humorous. The hosts and the singers are equally bad in my mind, so I think I'd pick Scarlet from the hosts for over-acting weirdly and dragging the segment, and Honey from the singers for just... generally kinda having no presence in the challenge.

gandlethorpe posted:

No Mariah (Carey) either. Hell, it wasn't until AS3 that they even referenced her, and AS4 for a lip sync.

Oh no, not like this.

My god, that has to be the biggest whiplash between one team absolutely killing a challenge and the other killing the audience's will to live. Even the weakest member of team Britney was miles ahead of the "best" of team Mariah. Worst of all, it wasn't even a "so bad it's good" kind of thing; just irredeemably bad. That bottom 6 gag though. I've never seen Ru so angry, even compared to times he's yelled at queens. Also pretty wild how, just like that, over half the cast now has a bottom placement on their record.

It was a bit of a mess to watch that LSFYL though. Jumping off the stage in a pure black outfit may not have been a great choice, so the rest of that team are lucky Honey sabotaged herself. I think her runway was fine, so all she had to do was do a little better than Ra'jah. I'm not sure how Ra'jah managed to evade the chop for her piss-poor leadership and basic-rear end runway.

Yvie's runway though :swoon: and Vanjie being Vanjie. I'm also happy for Nina that she killed it the whole episode. Has a queen ever won a mini-challenge, been a star performer on a team that collectively did incredible, and had one of the best runways? Her runway gave me Thorgy vibes as well.

Finally, that J Lo song to end a horrible Mariah-themed challenge was some perfect coincidence. Or maybe it was intentional shade? I dunno how the timeline works on their picking LSFYL songs.

Hate is a very strong word for me. At worst I tend to just like some queens less than the others. Hell I'm a Laganga apologist (though largely due to her non drag race stuff). At the end of the day I just love watching drag queens.

I just can't stand Silky.

Even if I assume the rumors about her sexualy assaulting another queen turn out to be bogus her frequent jumps to unsolicited bodily contact/touching make me uncomfortable. Her excuses in untucked this week were just bad. I don't know what she was thinking.

I feel for everyone who personally has to deal with her bullshit.

tbh that whole conversion therapy section of the Mariah one could have worked if it were a bit more cohesive. Plastique's demon voice whenever she said Ariana Grande would probably have been funnier if there was more emphasis on A'keria being an Ari stan at all.
