I was trying to figure out who Morphine looks like. I think I've settled on the lesbian daughter in First Wives Club? Of course with a lot more makeup

That was a good first episode. Despite my hesitation about the new voting format, I feel like they got the tops and the bottoms correct. The top 3 were my favorite of the episode. Shocked that we're getting a 40 minute Untucked tonight, maybe lots of extra Charlize Theron? I always feel bad when they do a split premiere and the first group gets a guest judge who is a substantially much bigger deal than the guest judge in the second episode.

I know someone complained about the guests being skewed in terms of level of famousness, but it's all different strokes for different folks, you know? I think that was me who complained. Still no idea who she is. But I rewatched the premiere today, and I missed this the first time, but when Charlize walked in, one queen shouted, "oh my god it's Aeon Fluxx." That made me chuckle.

Pinwiz11 posted:None of this is new, but a good watch: I think the only part that I didn't know was that they only film from Monday to Friday, so they might start filming an episode on Friday, then they will have Saturday and Sunday off, before resuming on Monday. Unrelated, I've noticed how skinny Trixie has gotten lately. She has been talking a lot about training for marathons, so it's probably related to that. I know working a career where you spend most of your time in nightclubs can't exactly lead to a super healthy lifestyle all the time.

Based on this episode, my favorites from this group were Plain Jane and Nymphia Wind, but holy poo poo is Plain Jane the most obvious heel the show has had in a while? We've had villains in the last few years, but most of them never intended to come off that way. Jane seems to know exactly what she's doing. Megami does not seem like she'll stick around for very long. Creative, but does not seem to have any showmanship. I still don't know who Becky G is, at least she seemed to be having fun.

Eej posted:I don't know how people can stand villains like Jane but I know unrelenting negativity is the kind of TV Americans love so I expect her to make it all the way to the end and I'll skip the whole season I can definitely see her become tiresome and toxic. But for quite a long time now, contestants on reality shows have become hyperaware of how they'll be edited, and perceived on social media. I can't really recall a classic reality tv villain on any show in a long time. There have been some people who became villains without realizing that they were, but nobody who has gone into a show at the start planning on playing the role of the heel. So in a way it's kind of refreshing to see someone just going for it. But we've only been with her for one episode. We'll have to see.

Given how much I see Meatball on social media lately, I sometimes wonder if she'd ever been on Drag Race, but no. Looking at her wikipedia, apparently she was on season 1 of Dragula, which is the only season I've seen, and I don't really remember anyone except for the hosts. Has she ever said she would go on Drag Race? Does WoW have a ban on anyone who first appeared on Dragula? I know some Ru girls have gone on to do Dragula, but haven't heard of the reverse.

This Barbra fight is giving flashbacks to season 4 when Phi Phi assigned the spooky character to Sharon, who got offended, and ended up winning the challenge. Isn't that the episode where we got the classic, "Go back to party city, bitch!" line?

Chewbecca posted:Idk who Lindsay Graham is, but also Right wing senator from South Carolina. Famously a lifelong bachelor, and quite effeminate. I live in DC, and there have long been rumors that he sends staffers to gay bars to pick up twinks to sleep with him, and that he has a suit fetish where he has guys rip suits off of him, and lobbyists happily buy him new suits all the time. He was vehemently against the former president, until he wasn't, when he suddenly became one of his biggest supporters. Rumor is that Russia was blackmailing him. It came out a few years ago that local DC gay escorts call him Lady G.

blizzardvizard posted:Very contrasting feelings about this ep's results It was an odd outcome. I don't think Q necessarily deserved to be in the bottom, but nobody did particularly bad in the challenge. I do think Amanda did slightly better in the lip sync, but it was a weird song to lip sync to, and neither of them did particularly well. I think in the end that it was definitely based on overall performance so far in the competition, Q's been in the top each week, while Amanda's been in the bottom each week. It was the right choice. Question, did the group who won all get immunity?

So, I saw on twitter this morning, don't have the link sorry, that it seems like Amanda and Jane are cool now. Roscoe's, a gay bar in Chicago, is the home club for Naysha Lopez who hosts a Drag Race viewing party each week, and regularly has Drag Race alumni to comment on the episodes. Apparently Amanda was there two weeks ago, and they did not publicly reveal that Jane was there in the audience to support her. They said at last week's show that Jane requested that they not announce that she was there, although people did spot her, and were taking photos and video of her. She seemed to take it all in stride even though Amanda was trashing Jane's behavior on the show.

car dance posted:I don't watch Untucked so maybe Amanda really did something that I missed, but as just a show viewer, seeing Jane go for her neck for what feels like no reason, it makes it impossible for me to even enjoy Jane's drag. You've missed nothing. Amanda has done nothing to Jane other than having poor makeup skills. In untucked, the other queens have had Amanda's back when she talks back to Jane, who seems to have no sense of shame.

I was surprised that Nymphia wasn't in the top, she turned out another amazing look, that I wonder if it was just because it didn't fit production's narrative for the season to put her in the top if she wasn't going to win. I didn't get Dawn's look at all, I thought it looked cheap and gaudy, so I was shocked that they put her in the top. Glad Q finally got her win, I thought it was strange last week that she was even in the bottom. Anyway I think there are a lot of great queens this season, but a lot of cannon fodder, hopefully those on the bottom step it up during Snatch Game.

So, I watched the first season of Canada, the first season of Netherlands, the first 4 seasons of UK, the first season of Down Under, the first season of UK vs the World, before turning off Canada season 2 and Canada v the World season 1 halfway through because I thought they were boring. I haven't watched any other international editions, but I got drag race fatigue for a while, and I was frustrated with the winners of UK season 3 and UK v the World season 1. If I resubscribe to WoW, which 5 seasons should I watch next?

I don't know, nobody did particularly bad. The worst runway was probably Xunami, but it seemed pretty clear that the bottom 2 was decided based on history in the game, and while the safe queen did some pretty egregious errors during the lip sync, it was still a more interesting performance than the eliminated queen.

gandlethorpe posted:Ugh, I'm just annoyed that all the non-contender queens I find interesting keep going home while a bunch continuously skate by on safe. I think it's pretty obvious at this point who's the top 4. So now it's just a bunch of safe bitches' time running out.\ I hear you. I knew the eliminated queen was going out within the first 5 minutes episode because of the edit. It's like Survivor where they don't even try and give an even edit to the entire cast, they only include those who contribute to the overall story of the season. The final 5 is obvious at this point, although I don't see a clear winner's edit just yet.

A Snatch Game win is a major turning point for a queen. It doesn't always predict a win for the final crown, but it looks great on your resume. But because of this win, I think I might actually think I'm Team Plane Jane. But I'm still living for Sapphira and Nymphia. I thought Sapphira and Mhiya stood a very good chance at winning though. That said, I don't think either of the bottom two deserved to be in the bottom two, and I'm confused to as why Dawn and Q weren't in the bottom given that they didn't seem to get a single laugh. Morphine actually did get laughs, her problem was just that they became repetitive. Plasma and Nymphia also didn't seem to get any laughs, but they were at least committed to the characters. I can't believe we had to wait until season 16 for that song though. Goth next week!

Mike N Eich posted:Honestly, as much as I love her, Nymphia probably deserved to lip sync this past episode - and I would have been immensely curious how she would have approached it. Glad she didn't though, because I can't wait to see what she does with the next craft challenge. Also, she's just damned interesting to watch. Even if the Jane Goodall impression bombed, it was audacious and could have been very funny. Nymphia was in DC a couple weekends ago at Shakers, a new gay bar that opened last year. Some friends suggested we go and check her out, she was set to go on at 9PM, so we thought we'd get there at 8:30 to get seats to be safe. I got there, and the line was 2 blocks long. It's not a big bar, and lines aren't really a thing at DC bars, so we knew we weren't going to get inside in time to see her. To me, this suggests that Nymphia is really connecting with fans in a way that I haven't seen with another contestant in a while.

Sapphira and Q's look didn't exactly read as goth to me. While I'm happy for the winner, I think Plane Jane or Dawn should have taken the win. But yeah, the final 3 are pretty obvious, and have been for several episodes. It's just a matter of who takes that 4th spot.

panko posted:excellent joke to have the queen of mayonnaise funk as the lipsync track for this particular episode. every season drag race gets increasingly sanitized for heteronormative liberal consumption which is entirely on-brand considering the platforming of queer artists and the telling of queer stories but also the fracking, the dropshipping, “one vote is more powerful than any social media post”, et al. a meghan trainor lipsync is an excellent encapsulation of that ethos That reminds me of the AVclub's interview with Eliot Glazer about why he hates Meghan Trainor https://www.avclub.com/eliot-glazer-on-why-lowbrow-dum-dum-meghan-trainor-s-1798261390
