Beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure



RPDRUK finale track record begged Ginger to win, but the final lipsync was totally Michael Marouli’s win. She’s right, she pissed all over that stage.

CDR: That lipsynch absolutely had a clear winner, but clearly the producers want to keep this drama train rolling, and I'm here for it.

Kiki's dress: holy poo poo :allears:

I liked the premise of this design challenge; I can't stand it when they're given a bunch of random crap like plastic dustpans to make something with.


CDR: WOW. Completely agree. The camera LOVED that specific queen. She embodies the song. BTW, I can't stand when bratty stunt queens say, "Can you even do the splits?" Excuse me, bitch, but Latrice OWNED Kenya even when she was doing stunts everywhere. It's about making the song yours, getting the meaning. I wanted her gone so bad. To keep her was just to cause drama. I'm over her.

Also, Melinda, gurl, you aren't being Jan-ed. Jan deserved to explode; you don't, it's still early to give up because the judges, "don't like you." Also, aesthetically speaking, not to critique her too much, but her makeup isn't up to par with the other queens, as is, unfortunately, her outfits and wigs. She always looks kind of dirty, ruddy, and unpolished. She gives good talking-head though. Obviously, she has personality.

I am HYPE for the next episode. Snatch Game is all about personality, being funny, taking on a role, and pulling it off. Some of these fashion queens better watch it. Although I'm worried for our ESL queens. Typically they don't do as well because the humor is different or they can't get across a joke. Brooklyn asking for the music to stop? Interesting. Insert Ru with opera spectacles saying, "I can't wait to see how this turns out." :getin:

we went from one of the best elimination challenges ever to one of the worst. so far this season has hewed to my expectations with the exception of blackberri showing up. nio’s look and floor show this episode is my favourite of the season so far by far. the girl is versatile!!

I love Throb so much. Sorry their book-gag didn’t work, but that look truly was two different looks the way most weren’t. Not sad to see Cynthia go home. She was :mediocre: in the middle of all this awesomeness in the top six.

I don't think they did anything in particular, their on-show personality may have not sat well with people. I didn't mind Jay Kay, but I was ready to see them go.

On the show, they were a bit of a drama elemental, and their looks just weren't that great and they should've been eliminated sooner. Nothing super outrageous. I don't know about the Plane Jane Incident.

It stood out because there's not a lot of other drama on this season. The second they left the Boulets realized that they have to stir the pot themselves!

Just watched the new episode last night:

Blackberri's Pharaonic Tokusatsu look was amazing and they deserved the win. Throb is consistently excellent but I agree on the hat. (When the star of Terrifier 2 tells you to edit, listen!) I like Orkgotik but I'm tired of their kinda samey, blobby looks and they shoulda been the one to go home this time around.

I don't understand why Niohuru hasn't already mastered the Dorito Method. Aren't you used to constantly expecting to be violently assaulted and positioning your body accordingly?

they were confident and adept at performing but their looks were basic and busted, the other competitors kept reading them for their perceived lack of craftsmanship and attention to detail, and it caused them to get defensive and in their feelings. after they took their little l on dragula for a lacklustre cosmic girl look they signal boosted another performer’s accusation of sexual assault regarding a contestant on the upcoming season of rupaul’s drag race, which was later somewhat debunked once someone posted a receipt video of the performance in question. they never walked it back. just a little bit of virtual insanity.

OrkGotik has the opposite problem that Blackberri does, where their looks are “I don’t know what in the hell that is, but I know it’s an OrkGotik look.” IMO I think it’s a bullshit critique either way.

Cynthia Doll pushing those catchphrases HARD throughout this competition, she’s got a warehouse full of T-shirts ready to go

Honestly? I think it's because he gives good talking head and they're waiting for him to be in the bottom with Niohuru for the ANGST. But seeing how amazing Niohuru is... I doubt that's going to happen, but it's reality TV so they can manufacture that situation handily.

When Orkgotik is good, he's good, but his point of view fits only some of the categories they judge. They only like that he HAS a specific vision for his work, as opposed to the bullshit Blackberri critique. "You don't know who you are." Bitch, she can be a jack of all trades AND a master of all trades.

ork occasionally looks as hodgepodge paper-maché as jay did. he brings interesting if sometimes inscrutable concepts to every floor show which is great but I wouldn’t be surprised or disappointed if he didn’t make the finals (right now I’m thinking nio/throb/berri with nio getting the bloodbath)

Guuuuuurl. It was totally amazing. I save you, you save me, for SURE. Slight shade though, they NEVER show Julia Fox, quite possibly because she sucked too, but they want to keep Denim. But the ones that sucked, were just AWFUL. If there had been a bottom four, Nearah/Coolidge #2 would have been it for sure. Kinda wanted her against Luna, just so someone could kick the other out.

EDIT: As for next week's episode, I'm worried for Kitten Caboodle. She's the oldest queen and she specifically said in her interviews she doesn't do death drops or splits. If she doesn't luck out with a ballad against all these acrobatic queens, well... I'm just saying it'd suck to see her go.

Has anyone been to this year's Jinkx and Dela show (or any others post the covid movie release)? I forced invited some straight friends to watch the movie with me last year and they were delighted, and want to do a re-do this year. I'm thrilled of course, but also wonder if I should spring for the current year's show that streams on the 21st.

I trust that it isn't a reprise, but can anyone who's already seen it this year weigh in on how different it is? Totally new, or ? Would love to just buy it in support of them but I am a poorshit.

I'm really enjoying Throb in Dragula. Their priest look was so excellent and they're really the only one who gave multiple looks. Boy did they pick a fight with the one person there who is likely to pick one back though!

Loved basically everything that comes out of Cynthia's mouth. Loved Fantasia coming in holding the baby.

Not loving the romance subplot! It is just so fake and cringe to me.

Dragula: Obvious Top 3 is Obvious. If they made it a Top 4 and gave Blackberri a shot I wouldn't mind...

Beyond that a very fun challenge and Org deserved the win.


And three weeks until the next episode? (Four if you decide to skip the reunion?) Fair, but I was also loving the idea of being subversive and say "Yes, we're releasing the next episode on Xmas. So what?"

His diet got a bit out of control and he wouldn't eat several days out of the week. He also had a breakdown last year and gave up smoking weed and is seeing a therapist so hopefully he does put some weight back on, but hearing him talk about how he'll just skip all 3 meals in a day was.. upsetting

And in riggamorris. So many performances that embody the song better, shirked for showboaty bullshit.

The winner was SO smart. Way to get rid of a queen you hate and the biggest threat, while saving a queen that could possibly save your rear end later on AND inure yourself to another alliance.
