The announcement that Sonny was going to be in AEW made me so happy.

the fact that he was introduced with a group of women made my eyebrows shoot off of my face tbh, but the fact that AEW signed and announced a trans wrestler with no mention of her being trans was so great. I love that she wasn’t used for PR, and look forward to AEW building their roster further.

Couldn't finish the Fashion Photo Ruview this week after they booted A'keria's first two looks and Plastique's witch look. That ain't it.

Possibly a nuclear hot take but I hate Nina's runways. Every single one. People saying she deserved to be high/win are insane. I think she's made me realize that cartoony looks just don't appeal to me.

Also Ariel's needle dress was the top toot of the week :lol:

I kinda agree on Nina. She's gone to the costume piece with appliqué well too many times.

Nina is high camp with low taste. I don't know how different her looks would be with the Ru cash infusion, but she's well-connected enough that I expect her to turn some poo poo out after the season's over. She'll never be Manilla-tier in terms of camp costumery, but I like her and hope she kills it.

Yeah I'm not necessarily against her camp, it's just she doesn't seem to have anything else and so she's camp when it works but also camp when it's totally inappropriate and it's gonna hurt her in the show imo

I have a bunch of friends from Columbus who are super into her, and love her to death professionally and personally. So while I'm not completely sold on her on Drag Race, I'm here for her.

I thought their critiques on Plastique's witch look were fair (it looked an awful lot like her Aries look on further consideration) and that's coming from someone who thought Plastique should have won this week. But yeah they had a whole lot of bad takes imho

That piece of poo poo was top toot?? Raja what the gently caress. And booting A'keria??? Bullshit.

I really liked Nina's witch (like I said before) but otherwise yeah, I think her runways are way too kitschy costumey to work for me. I agree about the taste level. Her Leo could have been SO good with just more...attention? I have no idea. The idea of a big lion applique on a gown isn't bad. A costume based on Audrey II isn't a bad idea! Just the execution has been really questionable.

And anyway here's bootleg:

Bring back the wrestling challenge from S4. Although there's a chance that Silky might end up killing Yvie in the ring.

I take back calling Mateo a mediocre runway model because wearing an entire tombstone as a showgirl headpiece was incredible. Plus with the green hair and makeup she looked like the female gremlin from Gremlins 2.

I'm from Columbus and share that sentiment. Though I've always thought she has no chance to win the show just because she's really not at all the kind of queen you need to be to win the whole thing. She's a wonderful human being though. And the televangelist challenge was peak Nina. Campy, fun, thematic and her ability to run a show is like no other. Seriously, her shows in Columbus are some next level poo poo and fun as all hell.

At the end of the day, what she does, she does so extremely well. It won't be for everyone, and that's fine, but I appreciate the change of pace she adds to the show sometimes.


Also, Vanjie needs to pick better wigs.

I seriously miss when Raven was the FPR regular and she would boot outfits for being the garbage they were the moment she saw the photo.

People are saying Bootleg Fashion Photo Ruview is the good one now.

weirdly huge URL but the preview for this week's episode is up

yvie continues to be a poo poo-stirrer, which is great tv but drat give it a rest. she's managing to make everyone in the room get sick of her. at least i get to see vanjie call her "peanut gallery" - that made my god drat day.

a'keria is rapidly becoming a favourite. i think she's this season's asia o'hara - bit more mature than some of the other girls, sensible opinions, good head on her shoulders. also gives great confessionals. hope she starts to land some of the challenges.

i live for plastique being shady towards silky. i goddamn live for it. also holy poo poo yvie dropping THAT move in the loving mini-challenge makes me amped as hell for whenever she does a lipsynch. christ

It's a big cast, but it's a cast of a bunch of drag queens who say "oh I don't like halloween or spooky things" and they're being forced to do misogynistic musicals. My partner finished watching the last episode with me and went into an extended rant about how weirdly fuckin' heteronormative this show about an aspect of gay culture has become.

Also, Michelle did the stupid "you looked amazing but I didn't see your personality" line to the obvious winner, and the obvious runner up in Scarlet was only 'safe' because everyone had to suck boring lynn heights' dick again for, what, one good look? Uuugghhhh I wish I didn't care about this dumb fuckin' show as much as I do, this season's making me really angry and I want it to stop taking up space in my brain.

drag race thailand is fun at least. but i wish there were more mainstream drag or drag-adjacent shows that didn't come with stupid sexist baggage and just let the performers make dresses, look beautiful, and perform. a part of my gay heart still wants to like the show bcs i don't get the things it does well anywhere else, but those things have been increasingly dwindling in frequency
