Denali's verse lives in my head rent-free, as does Joey following it up with "I'M A GAY-rear end BITCH, I'M JOEY JAY".

I had reason to be reading this thread while logged out and I'd forgotten about the word filter, which produced "I'M A GAY-rear end BITCH" and it took me a moment

I've rewatched this week's lip sync like 10 times already. Deja hit every beat of that song. I hope this gives production more motivation to feature slower, ballady lip syncs. We're lucky to get even one a season.

Not sure on the winner - just another Davenport clone IMO. Would have easily handed it to Jasmine as their talent and runway knocked it out the park.

Yeaaahh same tbh
I just get the exact same vibes from every pageant queen that comes on, which shouldn't be surprising since pageants are selecting for exactly one extremely specific thing, I'm not excited yet.

That said I don't think I could really pick a winner either- I don't want to reward anyone for lip syncing (or prerecording a song :rolleyes:) in a goddamned talent show and the non lip syncs were just kinda eh this episode. I'd probably give it to the ballet.



This branding is so weird to me I just don't understand it. I'm guessing that it's the UK drag race branch that got the go ahead and Ru wants to make sure everyone knows it's not a "main" drag race entry?

Also, praying that Panjina breaks the “Asian” curse that has plagued Drag Race.

Right?! Like, I'm all for making fun of The Straights, but I don't think "straight ally listening to a group of LGBT+ folks share their experiences" is the time for shady camerawork or editing.

Extremely.

Also I hate the (over)editing of the UK vs. World promo, and when I watched it this morning on Youtube I got immediately spoiled on one of my favorites being eliminated on a specific early episode. Just can't have nice things!

More Maddy gold. She could've won the talent show with a slightly more developed version of this.

what a humorous anecdote.
I knew she was on her knees during the critiques, and that there had to be some kind of mannequin holding the shape above her head but I didn't realize she was loving Half Life crouch walking down the runway the whole time. I have bad knees and even thinking about doing that makes them hurt, I can't imagine keeping it up for the 2 or 3 walks they do for the cameras, let alone standing on them for 3 and a half hours during critique.

I usually listen to the Willam and Alaska Race Chaser podcast but christ, they are so hateful about EVERYTHING Maddy does and it’s so off-putting. Alaska does try to say a nice thing sometimes but still oof.

Considering the way Willam acts regarding bi contestants, I'm not surprised.

Dragula US tourdates have been announced, by the way!

I'm not sure why you're surprised Willam would have poo poo to say, she's got no filter after all. Older queens went through a lot of poo poo thanks to straights so why would she be welcoming of them into a traditionally gay space? I'm willing to bet a lot (if not the majority?) of them feel this way but they're polite enough to not air those thoughts in public.

e: to clarify I'm not saying they should be making GBS threads on Maddy but I understand the reasoning behind it and it's not my call to judge on how they feel about how their community should be

I think it’s just the vitriol in her delivery? She’s been wearing on my nerves for a while but idk.

Either way, looking forward to seeing where this season is going. Doesn’t feel like there are any “filler queens” which is exciting.

Season continuing to be very entertaining, both on the cast's part and Ru's. The ball was adequate, but definitely lacked the highs and lows of last year's.

I'm not so sure about this chocolate thing, though. It feels both too straightforward and unfair. And if they do the reveal after every single LSFYL, it's gonna be a huge moodkiller every time. Also, what if a queen who makes it to the end naturally got it (assuming it's not rigged)? Then it was completely pointless, unless it's still in play for the finale. On the other hand, it would've been hilarious if the winning bar was revealed right away.

That's hilarious. June gave what, to me, sounded like a very practiced and fake-sounding welcome back to Orion Story and she ends up leaving first. With, what I can say, is a very bad lipsync. Super messy.

Also, as much as I love Maddy, those outfits were tres terrible and her lipsync really squeaked by. I don't think she's long for the competition unless she has the gold bar.

My theory is that production is holding onto the chocolate bars, and will only hand out the gold bar when a production favorite is on the cusp of going home. The queens signing the bars was all a misdirection.
