Please don't give me eureka flashbacks

Eureka and to some extent aquaria being given massive passes for their shittier performances because of ~narrative~ is what ended up making me lose interest in S10. I really hope that stops happening and drag Race becomes more like DRT but who knows at this point

Aquaria loving killed it, though.

I thought a bunch of her runways were way less impressive than the judges were saying. Her mermaid look was cheap looking and poorly fitted imo, for example. She's talented and in no way illegitimate but I think her supposed domination is way oversold.

You from Columbus? All of my Columbus friends are freaking out that she's on the show.

I'm also super relieved that the show is on at 9PM. It gives me plenty of time to get home from work and get settled in before having to figure out making a free account with VH1.com to watch it live.

No I just fell in love with her as soon as the spoiler/reddit Nancy Drew people figured out she was on (not that hard lol "foot surgery"). She and Yvie are my early favorites because they're both outside the usual box we see on Drag Race, they don't give a gently caress about looking "fishy", and because I think they could do the most good with their title after Drag Race.

She was the best of a rather underwhelming bunch of queens tbh.

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

I think the mermaid look is forgivable for looking cheap and ill-fitting, given that it's based on, well, tar and oil spill. That being said I do agree that her runways could use some jazzing up; I don't know if she's intentionally going for minimalism, but often I feel like her looks read as a bit too simple. Like in the mermaid look for example, she could have worn black opera gloves to complete the look, put some things stuck to her hair, a fishing net "shawl", etc. I would have loved them more with some extra detailing.

I like her runways, I think they have strong concepts, but she wasn't setting me on fire as much as Violet did, yanno

Basically this. I actually loved the mermaid look because it was a great concept, but the one that sticks in my mind is that global warming themed runway where she came out with a lightning bolt taped on her chest and people called it fine art lol. She's talented and crafty but i thought she was pretty bland overall, I deeply wish Asia hadn't self-combusted at the finale

I'm still more pissed about Eureka making it to the top despite absolutely not deserving it,there were several times I thought she should have lipsynced

yeah this is the aquaria look that felt like cheap cosplay for me. Loved the concept of the mermaid look and it didn't look nearly as cheap as some of the others so it still stood out

iirc VH1 doesn't bother to verify unique emails or whatever so you can use the "sign up for a 24 hour viewing pass" on their website but I haven't needed to try it bc for some reason the australian off-brand netflix that has a bunch of poo poo I like exclusively carries drag race

That is by far the worst look I've seen from her, she must have forgotten she was supposed to be in drag and grabbed a wig off the shelf coming in.

Yeah, I just created like 5 new accounts trying to get my chromecast to work to stream it to my TV. Stupid thing won't work, so I'm having to sit up straight in my computer chair instead of slouching on my couch.

Silky is annoying as gently caress, and better go home tonight.

These are some of the best looks I've seen from a Make Your Own poo poo challenge. No absolute tops, but the quality across the board is generally much higher - way less obvious flops.

Yeah, it worked for her.

I love a sewing or a found objects challenge, but I really think that for the first episode, they should do a preplanned concept so that the queens can put their best foot forward. I think season 9 did it right, the queens were told to bring a look to represent where they're from, and nobody was eliminated. It was a great way to introduce everybody.

But Silky still better go home tonight. Worried about Soju and Nina West though.

I'm surprised that Plastique is in the top, her look is so middle of the road, and she seemed so awkward on stage.
