what a humorous anecdote.
I mean, if we're gonna talk Eurovision in the Drag thread, we may as well link the most culturally relevant video ever made and no I will not be accepting other suggestions.

I wonder if DRUK will start out this tedious or if we'll have to wait a few seasons for that

Truthiness!
I have two thoughts:

1) I thought the runway as a whole was a treat to look at. I mean all of them lined up in the wide shots. They were all differently colored fancy dress columns and I dug it.

2) Did anyone else catch the "MISS VANJIE" dubbed over the World of Wonder logo going into the credits? Because I gagged. They seriously love that bitch.

Agreed that Vanessa had the better lip sync, but what else is new?

There's one roulade I can't sing
The judging on Vanjie was bullshit, just like with Nina. Vanjie did drop the ball pretty hard on the lip sync video segment though. But I think Vanjie was never treated as a serious contestant who could actually win. In that sense making it this far is actually good because it's as far as you could get while also having no chance of winning. They had to struggle to send her home and got Ross to harden his heart against her. It's OK because Vanjie is money in the bank, a natural laugh riot. But it was hard to see her struggling with the challenges and the critiques.

i mean.... someone in show pointed it out: "aren't things just more fun when vanjie's around?" which is both very true, and also a very eloquent way of rephrasing "x factor charisma". except compared to Silky's elusive appeal, Vanjie just makes every goddamn syllable that little bit better

I didn’t like her at first - found her grating and annoying - but she loving grows on you. I love her and her exit was legendary.

I cannot wait to meet her.

Also that episode chilled me on Silky... I don’t think she deserves to win tho.

Love Brooke but too polished if that’s even a thing.

Akeria brings nothing new IMO

Vanjie, I love you.

Silky? More like sand paper-y. She is awful in comparison to the other 5 queens. This ep exposed her for the fraud she is.

Brooklyn is cool but no edge, as the poster above me said some how too polished.

Yvie better win this thing and then form a duet with the GOAT Jinkx.

A'Keria, christ you're pretty and nice and lovely.

Ikr? It’s weird bc that’s really normal irl she’s just got her people she’s super protective of and she’ll trash anyone else but it’s just having them edited up against each other that’s jarring as hell.

In 2019 polished just means expensive.

That lip sync was exploitative as gently caress and probably borders on cruel.

Sep 12, 2012

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

The lip sync was definitely set up for cheap drama, but I like that they both went "yeah we're boos but we can set that aside for a moment for the competition" which I thought showed professionalism. I'm personally glad it didn't turn into another trashy Rujubee moment.

I just can't bring myself to care who wins this season. There just wasn't a single queen I found myself rooting for all season. I like Brooke and Yvie, but are they worthy of the crown? Meh.

Ru said it best last week. "Meh." It applies to not just last week's lip sync, but to the season as a whole.

Ru and WoW need to stop phoning it in.

Maybe it's just because I hail Satan on the reg, but I really want Silky to lose just so she'll feel like Jesus has failed her.

Ru and WoW want the paychecks. Drop out watching when you realize you hate the season, so VH1 doesn't find it profitable to keep airing fifteen Ru Shows a year

Absolutely not. The driest most boring one of the season yet, as tends to happen near the end when everyone is too focused on reaching the end to succumb to drama.

Boring forced coming out stories and Silky in some extremely transparent last minute damage control over how she's come across all season. Tried to play the "big girl" card and it really came off as so insultingly disingenuous!

Yep!

I lowkey wish they'd have a week break before the finale, if only because Manila is doing a finale viewing party here in Vancouver .... but it's the same night as my Cher concert.

Alas.

My work colleagues asked if I wanted to go out next Friday to celebrate the last day of the Student Teacher’s placement.

Had to tell them unfortunately I was already booked - With a viewing party of RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE FINALE! *arm raise*

They weren’t impressed.

Cher is one of the kindest people I've ever worked for, and you're making a good decision.

I'm just glad we don't have one of those filler clip shows like they used to do.

Cher is always the right choice, and she shall complete my holy gay trinity of people I've always wanted to see, capping off Bette Midler and Madonna. I expect that, after the last number, my soul will simply leave my body and Judy Garland will welcome me to gay heaven with open arms

Werq.

I got tickets to Madonna when she's in Chicago in October and I can't wait to see her not from the nosebleeds, but after her tuning issues at Eurovision I'm worried :laffo:

Drag race content: I'll put the reunion on in the background but my heart's not in it.
