Yeah my exposure to drag is pretty much RPDR, Dragula, and social media/Youtube. The nearest drag shows or even tours by Drag Race queens are generally about 5-7 hours away and often in the latter case in the middle of the week. Someday when I travel to civilization again I will go see live drag :saddowns:

Since this week is Snatch Game I bet the person translating has a ton of extra work to do. Hopefully it’s done soon!

I’m one of the people who is only exposed to drag through RPDR. Is Adore doing okay? I loved her on her season and get so sad watching her in AS2.

adore's doing good i think? her feed is full of work and pals and she is consistently a popular queen - her, courtney and obvs bianca are one of the best-loved final three. (that said, can't speak for her mentally, if you are referencing something specific?)

I think what they’re referring to is that Adore sort of seemed like a physical and emotional reck in AS2, to the point where people in these threads were positing that she might have been going through some kind of drug withdrawl

yeah Adore has a massive fanbase and a very successful music career, it's important to remember that RPDR =/= the real world. she left AS2 but that didn't really affect her career, she's still enormously popular and one of the most financially successful queens active today.

last I heard she's still in a legal dispute with her management company but on the whole she's doing juuuuust fine

The as2 situation was purely that she felt like her friendship with Michelle was being violated since Michelle was giving her such brutal critiques.

yeah, i'm kinda pissed she's not the one that got cut. that was a cheap movie and the other two girls dove right in there. and that bunny outfit was just dumb for zombie day.

maybe the fact that im binging iZombie right now biases me a bit though. that's how you do a cute zombie. yowza.

I'm glad that after never really liking Bendela during season 6, begrudgingly stanning for her because of her performance in All Stars 3, and being gagged that she self-eliminated, that I can go back to not really liking her for essentially loving up the whole season by not only leaving but also voting incorrectly.

Urgh, all this says to me is that Shangela brought a fourth gimmick.
I don't know why but that just strikes me as so disingenuous and it was just every lip sync all season for her.

It's like- we all know she's a great performer, but then suddenly she needs to lean on cheap gags during lip syncs. What happened?

Is there anyone already pegged as a stand-out and/or dumpster fire? I'm not looking for people to tell me exactly who to pick, just if there's any clear/known obvious winners/losers.

It's really hard to say. The queens coming in this season have such polished looks. We're long past the days of having queens like Venus D-Lite and Phoenix who were so not ready for the show. Between the fact that we've had 12 seasons of Drag Race now, and Instagram and youtube raising pretty much everyone's game, it's hard to base it just on looks alone going into the competition. Add to the fact that just because someone has a lot of followers or does great at the club doesn't necessarily translate to doing well on the show. I remember going into season 5, the internet was convinced that Lineysha Sparx was going to take the crown.

That said, in an interview with Vulture, Trixie said that she's rooting for Monet X Change and Aquarius.

I'm gonna go Asia winner, Aquaria runner up, and Monet/Kameron/Eureka as my remaining three.

(Our scoring system is weird.)

I was so close to winning all stars and lost by two points after Shangela was brutally robbed. The prize is a stack of cash and this incredible trophy, so wish me luck, thread!

I follow a lot of queens on Instagram and most of them are fairly active. It gives you a nice little peek at their lives. If you don’t get to see drag performances, I’d suggest that at least.

Courtney Act, Eureka, Laganja, Adore, Aja, Jujubee, Hellvetika, BiqtchPuddin, Abhora, and so many others are all so entertaining.

It’s much more fun actually watching them live but hey it’s something.

Honestly, after season 9's finale I'm surprised more girls didn't have prop gimmicks. Maybe they did, they just never got a chance to lip sync.

ngl I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring up Sharon's racist and/or transphobic history, b/c I didn't feel like doing it myself

She seems to have grown a lot since then to be fair, I don't think she's had an incident in a while and I'm still on the fence whether she's a legit bigot or was being offensive for the sake of being offensive and shocking.

p sure her not being a raging alcoholic any more also helps.

Going to wait til Thursday to see the entrances, though I suppose with each episode being 90min long, watching the weekly preview won't feel like it cuts too big a chunk out of my full episodr watch.

But I haven't watched the MtQ, either. I like meeting the queens as they enter the room and only pay attention to what they offer me on the show anyway.

After 9 I was hoping AS3 would be a normal season with a normal finale, but we didn't get that soooo

I expect at the VERY least 10 will follow the same top 4 lip sync tourney as 9. Here's hoping the top 4 all have super close track records so I don't have a reason to be pissed the queen who did best may get shafted.
