I literally loath the vixen, shes gotta be the most hateful queen probably ever

you can tell Ru was counting on Monique to send her home and instead the bitch didnt even know the words :joker:

I'm liking Aquaria a bit more now, Eureka is probably my favorite. I like Cracker but shes really fading into the background, I cant see her lasting much longer.

Also Asia really deserved to be in the bottom slightly more than Monique lbh

Asia serving up a Valentina and refusing to take the fish mask off would've been iconic, even if she sashayed :(

I haven't seen her lipsync but Vixen's was messy and erratic so I think she could've won it. I just think Monique shot herself in the foot with her response to Michelle's critiques... I do sympathise with Monique (and other past queens like Chi Chi who have complained about a lack of money)...

It's all very easy to say it doesn't matter about the money if you have a strong community and sisterhood of help and support... but I'd imagine if you're a queen trying to make it alone you're going to struggle a lot. From what we heard, Kansas City (Missouri, not Kansas, oddly) isn't the biggest of drag communities, so I feel for Monique. For the time she gave herself and the resources she had, she did pretty brilliantly on the runway (I particularly enjoyed the Hats Incredible, Watermelon bikini, Queen of Hearts runways, and her Feathers one was one of the most stunning of all time :love:)

Do any of y’all watch Miz Crackers review with a Jew on YouTube? She gives behind the scenes tea of what happens when the cameras aren’t rolling and stuff and she said the producers pretty much forced vixen and Asia (that was the pairing wasn’t it) to do the aquaria/cracker copycat thing for the bossy rossy task

Eureka tricking everyone into thinking she'll suck at the challenge :clap1: queen of deception.

Miz, Kameron and Asia are the only other ones that do well imo... and that's with Asia forgetting an entire line of the song :joker: this challenge is another mess. Monet seems to be getting a good reception online but I don't see it for me but ok! I'd imagine Miz is winning this, with a Vixen vs. Asia or Aquaria lipsync. *waits for the runway*

*will just edit this spoiler since I'm not RileyH*

Runways... Eureka and Miz kill it :clap1: Perhaps a joint win, but won't be mad if it's just Miz. Also love Vixen's but she got the "awkward face" edit during her performance (PERHAPS BECAUSE GIVING HER BEYONCE CHOREO IN A CHER MUSICAL ISN'T LOGICAL, TODRICK.) Aquaria's looks nice and very MET Gala. Monet's looks a bit 'eh' and I like Kameron's too... Asia's... is a choice. Think Sasha Velour's club kids look with... ramen noodle hair.

Yep, Vixen's getting "not Cher" critiques when she didn't come up with the choreo :inamood: thank god I want her to go home anyway.

Hmm apparently Kameron might win after all! Not really sure she did THAT good but ok... ugh I knew I was going to get nonsense with Andrew Rannells and Billy Eichner, aka. "2 gays who TiBB loves but I can't stand".

Kameron wins - Monet and Eureka high
Miz just safe :omgno:
Aquaria low
Vixen vs. Asia

Lipsync is "Groove is in the Heart" <3333333333
It's not a classic but Asia gets the job done.

Next week is a Westworld spinoff!

Untucked:

Vixen thinking Eureka will be bottom 2 :joker: Bye bitch

Kameron and Eureka bonding and identifying each other as the competition <3

I get a strong impression Miz is going to turn into a villain edit with Vixen gone :think: She's getting constant talking heads here with stuff she won't say to the others' faces... then again Asia's getting a bit "blamey" so she'll probably get it instead.

I'm not mad but a bit confused
During Kamerons preformance it kept showing the judges looking unimpressed and bored and during Cracker's they were laughing at like every line even the ones that weren't funny

But then in the critiques said they couldn't understand Cracker and thought Kamerom was amazing?? Kameron done a good impression but wasn't funny at all and had a fairly basic runway so idk what they were thinking. Eureka should've won or if not her Cracker

I'm thinking Asia will have a comeback now and be in the top 4 with Aquaria, Euerka and someone else, but it's seeming now it'll be Kameron in top 4 which is... Interesting

Shaun
11-05-2018, 03:12 PM
I remember feeling confused watching it at the time, I knew Kameron's reception from the judges wasn't THAT glowing until after it ended :shrug: Like they knew they wanted to keep the competition even and not build Eureka up to lose to a crappy lipsync twist in the final, a la Shea.

I'm watching it properly (ie. not in a terrible Periscope quality) now, I shall confirm whether she really was a knockout shortly!

Shaun
11-05-2018, 03:14 PM
Also the voiceover before the Rusical begins, the Cher impersonator, is extremely homophobic.

OK yeah Kameron sounds good and performs well but the judges do look a bit... "meh" about it all. They react a lot stronger to Monet, Miz and Eureka.

Headie
11-05-2018, 04:01 PM
I feel like that challenge was really uneven in terms of choreography. Like Kameron and Eureka had hardly any choreo compared to someone like Monet. But I suppose this week didn't really matter as it was all just filler to finally get rid of The Vixen.

Think Asia and Monet are going to be the next two eliminated, not sure who'll win though.

Bianca is attractive out of drag, yeah. Not "I'm literally attracted to him" but conventionally good-looking sure.

For me the ten most attractive are:

1) Laila (100% my type)
2) April
3) Vixen
4) Rebecca Glasscock
5) Sasha Belle (now, not at the time lol)
6) Chi Chi
7) Dusty
8) Raja
9) Alisa Summers
10) Courtney

Obviously Milk and Pearl are the two typical hotties but both have terrible personalities that've put me off entirely. Basically the entire cast of S10 could make this list though... Yuhua is stunning, Asia and Mayhem have ridiculously beautiful skin, Aquaria and Miz are cute, Kameron obviously exists...

I've heard rumours that AS4 is filming soon but I'm not sure whether there's any truth to them

Also, in addition to the Asia/Eureka drama (that's now been sorted out), Bianca and Acid Betty are feuding over whether queens who took breaks at Drag Con are lazy, all the money Morgan made at Drag Con has been stolen and Mayhem has revealed that she was left a note by another queen before her elimination saying something along the lines of "boohoo bitch you're next" :worry:

Shaun
17-05-2018, 03:36 PM
seemed more messy of Asia to instigate that tbh (sending every girl a tweet but her :joker:) but w/e I still stan the correct Top 2

I've seen quite a lot of traction for India Ferrah to be an AS4 queen and honestly? Wouldn't be mad at it.

At this point I would venture...

Obvious frontrunners that might want to take more time before agreeing to do it again: Trinity, Shea, Vixen, Monique, Valentina
Obvious queens that are surely next in line for the phonecalls: Darienne, Delta, Ivy, Ongina, Betty, Derrick, Trinity K Bonet, Joslyn
Obviously persona non grata: Willam, Courtney, Tyra, to an extent Nina
Wildcards that aren't quite "big names on the radar" but I am 100% backing to appear and steal hearts and memes: Jasmine, Stacy Layne, Mariah, Jessica Wild, India, Laila, Tempest, Kasha Davis
Just don't bother because they finished way higher than they should have in their seasons and it'd just be a bit embarrassing for them, even if I like them, which, handily, I don't: Pearl, Kim Chi, Naomi, Carmen, Alexis Michelle, Rebecca </3

But then there's a lot of rumours saying AS1 queens are being asked back: Latrice apparently revealed she was even asked for AS3 but couldn't get the time off to do it.

18-05-2018, 10:04 AM
Honestly, my ideal outcome going into this episode was a double shantay, given that it was either that or bringing, like, Vanjie or Blair back only to send them home again, so this was a great result for me (and the lip sync warranted a double shantay, so even better... it definitely wouldn't have been fair to send any of them home based on a crummy acting challenge this late in the season)

Also I love Asia, so this is more of a comment for whoever wrote the script than anything, but... winning for a Sarah Palin impersonation in the year of our lord twenty gayteen? Really sis?

Watching now. Still confused by Ru thinking Vixen's Cher era was instantly recognisable to the viewing public just bc it was to her :idc: oh well it got rid of her so nvm

Vixen's message was probably meant as a political call to arms rather than "when good queens do nothing [about Eureka that fat bitch]", bless their hearts <3 (although bless her inability to spell <3)

Aquaria trying a last minute personality <3 I so do not want another Violet Chachki win. That ****ing "I wish I had a friend to help..." right in front of a ****ing camera. GET OUT. Sympathy-garnering little twink :oh:

Stephen Colbert :love: The mini-challenge :love: *orders a Chinese* I'll take the number 11, the number 16, the number 19, the number 7 (I knew that was Laith instantly :love:), the number 20...

Aquaria coming in with an immediate pairing and trying to reveal both at the same time :think: (and as a result getting a chance to appear the fair and loving leader who falls on her sword :think:) I know this is wildly speculative but I just get absolutely NOTHING genuine from Aquaria, everything about her seems calculated and fake.

The workroom interviews seem to be setting up either Asia or Aquaria to win :think: and Cracker to bomb... but oh dear Eureka's flopping </3

The Ross/Michelle critiques are way off as per. Telling Kameron to enunciate her words when she was perfectly audible :shrug: spending forever to teach Eureka the exact way to say Ivy Winters when that's a joke from 5 ****ing years ago that isn't even funny no matter how you say it :idc: berating Cracker for not seeing a film from 40 years ago :idc: and I get that acting challenges on this show are always questionably written but wtf is the plot of this? Why is Sarah Palin here? How is anyone going to win as a robotic bingo caller?

Aquaria and Cracker's idea of an older person being, like, 40-50 :love: Kameron's being 50lbs heavier :love:

Abbi and Ilana :lovedup: 100% the best sitcom in years. Gutted it's ending </3

Asia's runway look was a bit weak but she sold it with the delivery. Monet's and Kameron's were the closest to the actual requirements :love:
Aquaria just looks like her mother, Sharon Needles. Cracker looks...bland af, as always. Eureka's face is good but that outfit... :unsure: would've been nice with a different trouser/legging.

You cannot tell me Cracker didn't deserve B2 over Eureka :idc: I'd have given Monet the win over Asia as well, or a joint-win at least.

OH MY GOD THIS LIPSYNC IS EVERYTHING :worship: how dare Ru play with my heart like that, though </3

Damn, this season isn't going to end until mid/late June... we're going to be in the bloody World Cup at that time :omgno: so used to it ending in like, April

tbf Alyssa/Tatianna would count too (even though Tatianna won that lipsync fair and square imo)

The only thing this episode really did was kinda secure Aquaria’s win tbh
I’m assuming the last 2 challenges will be makeover and design which she will likely do well in and Eureka has been Bottom 2 twice now so it puts her pretty far behind Aquaria - this is assuming they don’t follow the same format as last year though

Anyway this episode was fine, the challenge wasn’t funny at all, this and the AS3 acting challenge have been some of the worst ever
Monét or Aquaria should’ve won as well, better runway and preformance than Asia imo - and bottom 2 should have been Eureka and Cracker - not quite sure why it wasn’t cause they set up Cracker to go home all episode

lewis111
18-05-2018, 06:05 PM
I didn’t understand the critiques about Aquria’s look either. I think her makeup was the best as it didn’t go too far like Kameron and Monét but she actually looked different to what she Normally does unlike Cracker and Euerka. And, she could give a reference for her look?

Damn that lipsync was flawless. Well. Except for Monet's Alexis Michelle split that bust a bulb. Messy.

I love how Aquaria can literally use the term "coloured people" after a ***** opening 10 minutes, and the cries of racism still fly to Eureka for trying to play tactics :eyes: then again I haven't watched Untucked yet so maybe she punches Kingsley in the tit idk

26-05-2018, 02:11 AM
The challenge was better than expected but I don't think Monet should have been in the bottom 2 since Aquaria and Kingsley's looks were worse. Aside from the messy stunt, I actually think Monet did a better job in the lip sync, Kameron had the wrong energy and I think Monet's interpretation suited the song better. I agree with Shaun that she was pretty much done dirty in this season.

Finally, I cackled at how much Alex from 13 Reasons Why didn't want to be there.

I don’t think they were annoyed at Aquaria because she was annoyed it was a double Shantay, more because she was trying to devalue their lipsync by being like “well everyone would do that split on that beat” and being all round shady for no reason. Asia handed her her ass tho (but more so in confessionals)

Aquaria - potentially a winner, hasn't really had a bad week yet, the worst she ever does is equivalent to someone elses good, so in terms of that I think shes done pretty well.

Cracker - I know she started strong but as the 'comedy queen' shes been a big let down, even her jokes in the work room are awkward and unfunny. However when it comes to the runway shes one of, if not the strongest of the group.

Asia - potentially a winner too, she seems to be Ru's favorite. Shes done pretty well throughout except maybe a couple of not-so-good weeks (that fish mask??), but overall I wouldnt be mad if she won.

Kameron - Shes good but not great, can see her going within the next couple of weeks, although as a person I think shes lovely and one of the nicest this year. But one of the judges clocked her this week by saying all her outfits are just womens clothes.

Eureka - another potential winner, the only thing that holds her back is when shes having a bad day, she lets it affect how she is in the challenges and the runway, which could be her downfall in the end.

26-05-2018, 06:12 PM
I'm genuinely shocked that I've managed to avoid spoilers this season, given that I practically knew the entire boot order of AS3 off by heart before it had even started, and I'd spoiled season 9 for myself from Farrah's elimination onwards (the closest thing to a spoiler that I accidentally stumbled across this season was an old comment along the lines of "I can't believe Mayhem goes so early" in the week before her elimination, but that still didn't stop me from assuming The Vixen was going home for the first three quarters of that episode)

Shaun
26-05-2018, 06:20 PM
Yeah the spoilers I had seen this season were often wrong until the point where Mayhem was eliminated, they've been spot-on ever since </3

For example they didn't have Yuhua going so early, had Dusty going home second, and didn't have Vanjie going first (they weren't miles off, saying it'd be Kalorie, mind). Oh they also thought the double-shantay (spoilered in case there's two, lol) would be Eureka vs. Aquaria. Which I guess could still happen so I'll spoiler that :ninja2:

I think I managed to escape most AS3 spoilers aside from the final four, which rather ruined the whole series anyway :joker: "Hmm, Ben has won five challenges, why didn't she make the final :think:". I seem to remember them saying that the top 2 was Bebe and Trixie, too. Which would've probably made me commit suicide. At least Kenney<3 had the pleasure of winning the final lipsync even if she didn't get the crown.

Tatianna: An understated kinda choice. Will be fun to see how she's evolved though.
Phi Phi: Genuinely terrible. Hated Phi Phi's drag, and a true villain, and not in the fun way.
Alyssa: Freakin love Alyssa, buzzing for ha.
Coco: Hmm not my favourite.
Detox: Love a bit of Detox, she definitely deserved a second chance.
Roxxxy: Awful choice. I think Roxxxy may be my least favourite of all time? Similar to Phi Phi really - nasty person, and shocking she got so far.
Alaska: An all-time favourite, so she better win.
Adore: Adore is great, and Adore's voice grates. She is the logical choice from S6. (Can we have April Carrion back though please?)
Katya: I don't quite understand why Katya is as loved as she is, but she's totally worthy of a second chance.
Ginger: Honestly , meh.

Very odd half the cast is from one season :laugh:

Season 8 was a weak season but ironically it was one of my fave seasons as most of my faves made it to the end (and the drama was entertaining and BOB IS A LEGEND <3)

Season 7 is the worst for me

Latrice and Bianca are probably the most popular POC queens, but they do have a point that white queens tend to be the most popular of their seasons (some deserved and some not so deserved). Not necessarily just blonde queens though but they do get a starting advantage.

Art reflecting life?? :think:

I guess I don't have enough exposure to others watching or commenting on drag queens other than on here. Personally my favs are the curvy girls of diversity and personality. The stick thin blondes or Tyra's :hehe: never do it for me

Shaun
29-05-2018, 06:51 PM
That leads me onto what- it seems - is an inevitable Aquaria win. And whilst i cannot fault her performance on the show... she killed snatch game and Breastworld... i just can't shake the feeling she's false and had a huge advantage going into the competition with being friends with Amanda Lepore, having 6 figure follow counts, Sharon's drag daughter etc. She's one of the few who I've known about years before they even got on, it'd be like Vander von Odd, Rhea Litré or Vicky Vox getting on. Except they're not that popular :ninja2:

MB.
29-05-2018, 06:56 PM
....how does having a lot of followers benefit her in a merit-based competition, lmao :laugh:

Honestly, I feel as though a lot of those points, and others that you've directed towards Aquaria (accusing her of racism) are just attempts to deflect accusations levelled at your favourite, i.e. Eureka, who I've seen people claiming for a while that she has some sort of unfair advantage simply because she was on the previous season and not because she - like Aquaria - has the talent to be there

TomC
29-05-2018, 08:37 PM
Speaking of Bob, I genuinely couldn't tell who was talking at what point in this:

Hmmm I feel like in the early seasons the most popular were mainly POCs? Like Juju, Raja, Manila, Yara, Latrice are all hugely popular...

I think the thing is from S5 onwards it became a lot less racially diverse... S5 in particular.

Shaun
29-05-2018, 08:52 PM
It was the same sort of feeling around Bianca's win I guess, MB... technically deserved but i can't help but shake the feeling that a lot of famous friends VERY close to the show would've helped. (In Bianca's case she was a good friend of Bunny, who is Ru's best friend? All a bit...nepotistic)

29-05-2018, 09:05 PM
And if you don't think social media following has an influence in the winner after Trixie then, um...

All Stars, obviously, but not regular seasons :laugh:

There's a massive difference between gaining followers and a fanbase simply from being on Drag Race and its affiliate shows (Trixie) and gaining them from working hard to make it on the scene, make connections and brand yourself as a performer without such a platform, which Aquaria has done, but that doesn't give her any sort of advantage as it would in a season based around post-Drag Race legacies and branding such as All Stars

29-05-2018, 09:06 PM
And if how big you were pre-Drag Race mattered at all in a regular season, Mayhem Miller wouldn't be a fifth boot

Headie
29-05-2018, 09:50 PM
I think the only times social media has affected the winner was AS3 and S9, which ironically were the last two seasons so maybe social media does matter now :laugh: (Sasha randomly had the most social media likes of all the finalists last year, I still don't know why). And I only started live-watching from S8 onwards but I feel like Ginger would've won S7 had it not been for a number of viewers taking a dislike to her/preferring the Looks queens?

It doesn't always affect the result though. I remember thinking Kim Chi was gonna win S8 because she had the biggest online support, but Ru still picked Bob based on track record (I think S9 was the first time the finalist with the most challenge wins didn't win?)

Headie

I'm actually liking Phi Phi in AS2 :skull: Her runways are always a tad underwhelming, but she slayed the acting challenge.

I really didn't like Adore this season... Just seemed a bit hypoctrical given how she'd lay into Laganja?

The S5 dominance in this season is a bit of a howl

I think Aquaria has definitely earned her win if she does end up winning, but social media influence or just how well know you are before definitely effects how well you do in some cases IMO

I think it’s prety clear Fame and Derrick deserved to go home earlier than they did but they were constantly given free passes because they were stars before the series

Tom4784
30-05-2018, 01:56 PM
Yeah, I wouldn't begrudge Aquaria her win unless she bombs in these last few weeks. She's been consistent and she's earned her wins thus far.

She's not the most exciting winner but you can't argue with the stats as it stands.

Just dont waste your vote on someone that you think has no chance... Hence why I voted Blair because people might give her sympathy votes because of her story, and because shes lovely. Cracker just doesnt deserve it imo... I've never warmed up to her at all this season and i just dont understand what the hype is except for she is a thin and blonde queen which the 12 year old girls will love...

And Vixen is leading with ~8 million votes.

More people have 'voted' The Vixen than voted Conservative in June 2017.

However, it's all obvious that the bots have influenced this vote A LOT.
