I’m watching AS1 and the producers were CRUEL. Episode one was the most bullshit thing they could’ve thrown at anyone.

I also cried at the Raven/Jujubee lip sync. Heart-rending and I’m so glad they both stayed.

here’s a reddit thread I googled up

tl;dr poster in thread alleges Ilona’s poor attitude and bullying of other performers caused them to get blacklisted in vancouver.

re: racism- apparently 5ish years ago they posted a picture of themselves with braids, were accused of appropriation, then posted a self-defensive screed afterwards that included, among other hashtags, #lynchme

maybe the poster who brought this up in this thread can elaborate a bit more

It's more or less this along with just having a bad rep that a lot of other people have confirmed

I'm sure they're better right now, in 2020, but when this was filmed they definitely weren't better!!

Gonna be honest of all the racial injustice and appropriation going on in the world, a native two-spirit person wearing braids really isn't the thing I want to see the Twitter mob weigh in on.

And dammit Priyanka is so hilarious in her talking heads, it sucks that she wasn't able to show that in the improv challenges.

Seriously, she's super charismatic and seems pretty funny but she just totally doesn't manifest that in the improv stuff.

The flair on the right leg just doesn't mesh at all with this outfit. The green earings and rings do not go with it either. And I am not a fan of the flesh coloured fabric.

Just finished Drag Race Thailand Season 2 Episode 10 (the makeover challenge) and, wow. Kandy Zyanide literally set herself on fire!!! That’s got to be one of the most irresponsible things I’ve seen anyone do on drag race, ever. That she finished the runway afterward (and won the challenge!) is legendary. gently caress producer Sephiroth for cancelling this show, forever

Also, Pangina was having the time of her life as main host. I really like her and hope to see her cross over with mainline Drag Race at some point

no official statement, but it still hasn’t gotten a third season order two years after the conclusion of s2 and Piyarat Kaljaruek (producer with the good hair & heir to the Kantana Group media empire) unfollowed all of the queens on social, including Art & Pangina. Apparently the S1 queens were also snubbed at the S2 finale, being given seats way way back in the venue in favour of The Face Men alumni.

It seems that Piyarat is focusing more of his time & attention on The Face, though apparently he tweeted at the beginning of 2020 that DRT S3 was his new year’s resolution, so there’s hope but, lol this year. It’d be ridiculous not to continue if even only because the DRT S2 werkroom and runway are gorgeous and were probably very expensive

I’m weirdly numb. I loved Season 8 and Chi Chi was one of my favourite queens from that season. She was also a sweetheart in All Stars 3. Thinking she isn’t with us anymore is... I’m finding it hard to process.

Chi Chi's story is an incredible one, and the success she's had is truly heartwarming.

Wildly talented, and for some reason one of my favorite Chi Chi moments is when RuPaul told her she won a trip to New England.
the excited way she said "I get to go overseas?" and Ru's reaction to it will be gold forever.

Ugh, gently caress. Awful.

Beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure



I first learned about it early this morning on Facebook from a friend posting an old article about her being sick in the hospital and got so mad because I thought they'd just read the article wrong and were cutting a beautiful performer's life short for clickbait and likes. To find out it was the truth and they were just using an article that was on hand because the news outlets hadn't reported it yet... drat. Now I feel sad as hell that her light shines no more on this earth.

And all this because she hadn't been able to see her doctor for her scleroderma and it gave her kidney trouble... gandlethorpe's right, this country's health system blows.

And they didn't cut it for time either! I feel like Drag Race usually cuts out a verse or two from songs.

So sad to see Lemon go, but she worked the gently caress out of that Alanis lipsync. I think I would have picked Lemon over Rita to win it, but only because it felt like Rita took a while to get going. They both loving slayed, though. And honestly we're at a point in the season where I'll be sad to see anybody go.

"All this, for me? 💃Ah, you didn't have to! 🥰"
I was really surprised by how much I like Lemon. I kinda feel like she is what Gigi stans (or Gigi herself) hoped that Gigi would be.

The news about Chi Chi has absolutely broken me, and I've been sobbing on and off all day. I was actually just thinking the other day that I wanted to give S8 a re-watch, but now I don't think I have the heart to. I had always hoped to see her live (even if her condition meant she wouldn't be flippin' and splittin' like she used to), and she was a beautiful light on this hell-earth. I have a signed print that I bought from her a few months ago, and I had just framed it last month....I really regret not getting a Cameo when I had the chance. :(
