Nice! Yeah, there aren't a whole lot of us who regularly comment, but given that there is at least one new episode a week for the entire year, it stays pretty active. And I'm not about to step into what is the cesspool of the drag race subreddit.

I have to admit, I read the spoiler thread on Reddit sometimes. I hate that I ruin it for myself but I can’t stop!

I don’t know who makes it to the top 4 this season but I hope Willow Pill is one of them

I think this is a pretty even group going into the finale. Daya Betty is for sure going home next week. After that I could see any of the four remaining queens win, and for the first time in years, I wouldn't be upset about any of them winning. I have my favorites Willow and Lady Camden but given Ru's tendency towards favoritism, I think Angeria or Bosco will win.

I didn't think Bosco won that but I guess the field was kind of average this time. Would have picked Camden for the win, though

I'm a big Camderina and also think Bosco's previous wins were sketchy, but I think Bosco had the strongest set. The way she turned being told to go home last week into jokes about everyone else was clever writing. I think she and Willow were neck and neck (Willow mostly for her runway), and Camden a close third.

Also, what an underwhelming lip sync, lol.

I thought she won from the hunter gatherer joke. The “you’re not a top, you’re a blouse” joke was pretty great too.

That lip sync could’ve been a triple elimination.

The Queens from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” will kick off Grammys Sunday with a fashion show recreating iconic looks from the awards show’s past.

CBS and the Recording Academy have partnered with TikTok for two livestream events on music’s biggest night.

The 30-minute runway starts at 11 a.m. PT this Sunday on TikTok. Season 12 winner Jaida Essence Hall will host the live stream from the red carpet, while also donning an iconic Grammys look. Hall will provide a fun behind-the-scenes window into the event with details on how the looks were chosen and recreated while relaying fan questions from the live stream’s comments and chatting with the Queens about all things Grammys and fashion.

Hall will be joined by Drag Race alumni Kahanna, Derrick Barry, Kameron Michaels, Naomi Smalls, Trinity K Bonet, Alexis Mateo and Coco Montrese, all of whom are also currently part of the ‘”RuPaul’s Drag Race” Las Vegas Live Residency at the Flamingo Hotel. The livestream will also promote the Season 14 finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” airing April 22.

Following that, TikTok superstar Davis Burleson (@davisburleson), the host of “What’s Poppin” (@Whatspoppinshow) will host a 30 minute TikTok Live at the Grammys, starting at approximately 11:35 a.m PT on the official Grammys TikTok account. He’ll give followers a backstage look with some of music’s biggest stars as they prepare to hit the stage.

Furthermore, as part of the weekend celebrations and partnership, CBS and the Recording Academy will be engaging with a half dozen prominent influencers to host live “co-watching” parties on their respective TikTok accounts. This not only allows for a second viewing experience of the awards, but adds a social media layer to the telecast. The influencers hosting these virtual parties include La’Ron Hines, Jayden Bartels, Gavin Magnus, Kayla Jones, Brooklyn Queen and Masked Mortal.

It's common practice to do this on All Stars, Bob has mentioned a few different times various un-named queens hiring her to write jokes before their turn. Famously(?) Monet was one of them, but Bob already used up the best lines for a different AS4 queen and so didn't help much. :o:

The 'blouse' joke falls into that pool, I've definitely heard that one before. The hunter/gatherer joke was new though, and I laughed! I think I agree that Willow should've won, but I'm not mad at Bosco taking it. It was close enough, and the storyline must be fed. Maybe I'm just relaxed and happy for seeing queens finally exit. Echoing others, no hate to Jorgeous and Deja, but they showed all they were going to show by about episode 3.

Winner though, yeah, would be happy for any of the 'big 4' to take it. I think Bosco and Daya are equally likely to make the cut. I started out on team Kornbread, then went to Angeria. Angeria fell off a bit from her strong start, and I looked at Willow. Then Camden had a wonderful rise.


Davis Burleson who? *googles it* oh. No, I actually like his content. this might be cute

what a humorous anecdote.
Love that they had to contrive a 3 way double elim lipsync to cut extraneous bitches and have an excuse to actually send Jorgeous home because there's no way in hell she'd actually lose a lipsync. Undone by their own format.

I actually learned the term "blouses" a few years ago, from Aja. They were addressing the assumptions (I think on Twitter?) that their then-partner was a bottom, due to him being more shy and more femme than Aja. Aja was like "He's a blouse: a feminine top."

Never really been comfortable with the idea of random strangers publicly asking a drag queen how they and their partner like to get it on, but hey. :shrug: I'm too busy trying to explain to The Straights that "dom and sub" is NOT the same as "top and bottom".

Rooting for Angeria, Camden, or Willow!

I like Bosco, but I think I enjoyed her earlier in the season than I do now at the end. Re-watching the Bosco vs Willow lipsync, I'm still surprised at y'all who said you thought Bosco should have won. Any particular reason why?

Pretty much same for me

Willow has been my favorite since the beginning, but I feel like she peaked in the talent show. Not that she's been mediocre since then, but that it was such a high note to start on and she never really topped it. Too bad there isn't a makeover this season, I feel like that's one of the challenges Willow would slay.

Angeria is the same to a lesser extent, by slaying early challenges and kind of fading since then.

Camden is the only one really who's been on a continuous upward trajectory, and she even started off really well.

Maybe next episode they'll prove me wrong, but I'm TeamCamden for the time being.

Plus I love the fact that she’s so tall and wears those giant rear end shoes

I'm rooting for Willow Pill or Lady Camden. They both really surprised me this season, and were the underdogs. I always end up rooting for an underdog.

I think we'll see Angeria or Bosco though take the crown. Ru has been in love with Angeria since day one, although she hasn't done particularly well the past few weeks. I also think that they saved the gold bar specifically to save someone they wanted to win, I had thought it would be in Angeria, but it was Bosco, and my theory still stands. I like both of them, and would not be upset if they won.

I like petty betty’s drag, she has a cohesive aesthetic. would have loved to see her in her heels standing side-by-side with jorgeous before last week’s lipsync. she’s not going to win but I’ve enjoyed what she’s brought to the runway, the werkroom, and the confessional booth (weird “reverse outing” of maddie aside)

I don't really disagree with this, but also it kind of made me think this season (or most seasons in general lately?) really lack an opportunity for performers like her to GET weird.
So much interviewing, singing and dancing, dress making, acting. There hasn't really been an opportunity for a Club 96 or a Branded Perfume or anything of the sort
