I was expecting them to come out dressed as ninety year-olds in lingerie

And to her credit, Charlie proved me right

Braden 15-04-2017 05:07 PM

alol @ the part of Untucked where they slow down the lip-sync. I couldn't help but laugh at Charlie again.

It was a heartfelt moment when she read the girls' letters at the end <\3

...somewhat spoiled by her confusion as to how Aja could possibly have neat handwriting

Braden 15-04-2017 05:16 PM

:joker:

Her impression of erratic handwriting :love:

By the way, it turns out that Trinity's "you crazy, bitch" confessional wasn't about Valentina and her candle, but was in fact about Cynthia! So if you were wondering how fairly and accurately this show is edited, well

Mess I've only just realised this now you've said it, I still thought it was 90s theme and was thinking 'wtf how have any of them got away with their looks' :laugh:

MB. 15-04-2017 09:23 PM

Imagine the possibilities of a 90s runway <3 Clueless, The Craft, Baywatch, Buffy, the Rachel, Uma in Pulp Fiction, Liz Hurley's black dress, schoolgirl Britney, each and every Spice Girl, Nancy Kerrigan with an ice pick stuck through her head...

iirc AS2 had a 90s runway planned, hence why Tatianna brought her T-Boz outfit

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 15-04-2017 09:32 PM

when is AS3

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 15-04-2017 09:36 PM

i'm not like a hardcore stan (i don't even watch untucked or read about t'show online etc) so like i don't get the eureka hate :suspect:

i thought the eating disorder joke was really funny lmao

MB. 15-04-2017 09:40 PM

She thinks she's a lot funnier than she is, doesn't seem to know how or when to shut up and has a silly haircut

Daniel-X 15-04-2017 10:46 PM

Idk Eureka just seems so full of herself and seems to attack others constantly (which makes me think she's pretty insecure about herself)

Shaun 16-04-2017 01:04 AM

(plus she's fat so...)

Is this aimed at me???

Shaun 16-04-2017 02:02 AM

Just watched the episode

I don't get where the judges' level of humour comes from... I found Peppermint & Trinity hilarious with their husband-snatching nonsense :shrug: certainly funnier and more fluid than Valentina/Aja's segment but then I guess they messed up with the goodbye line too.

The drama stuff was inconsequential and my opinion of Sasha went down a bit for being such a serious martyr.

Naya & Jeffrey were boring. Pretty but boring.

And I'm glad Charlie's gone because she ****ing sucked.

Nah just the general hate she's got online. :laugh: It's a little formulaic. Part editing, part "obviously the fat girl is insecure".

As MB pointed out with the "Trinity/Valentina" shade actually being Trinity/Cynthia shade, I find it difficult to take any of their confessionals at face value any more. Trinity's playing up the pageant feud which, let's face it, is basically the producers begging for another Coco/Alyssa season. Peppermint makes a throwaway harmless comment about Eureka being a motormouth and it's edited into just before a moment where Eureka asks for team discussion, so it comes off as "Eureka is a diva".

And I think for all of the times where drag race has come under fire for being too bitchy or bullying or whatever, it's been a little premature and without every side of the story. The responsible way of portraying this week's stuff would've been to show Valentina's response to Eureka's "eating?" joke. It wasn't comedy gold but it wasn't "watch out, Sasha, Eureka's pissing on your past" either.

BUUUUUUUUUT... none of this matters bc I'm enjoying this season <3

post e4 rankings~

1) Nina (did think the "picked last" stuff was a bit :shrug: get over it :shrug: but she did and she killed the runway. BUT... drop the breastplate gurl you aren't India Ferrah.)
2) Peppermint (bombed at this challenge but otherwise lovely and charming and 100% going soon so I best get my goodbyes prepared)
3) Eureka (unintentional comedy with the hand-raising during group planning, a lovely ponytail reveal, and otherwise doing really strong in most challenges?)
4) Alexis (the most natural at the Good Morning Bitches stuff, but didn't get praise. Kinda being slept on, because her princess makeup was stunning too).
5) Sasha (her runways are getting a bit samey but who doesn't love RuPaul's Peanut Chocolate Bar with a bit of broccoli?)
6) Cynthia (even I am tiring of the cucu but she's so damn lovely.)
7) Trinity (she's a lot smarter than she's being edited and I find her intriguing)
8) Shea (It's crazy that a queen of Shea's calibre ends up eighth on a ranking but the cast is that strong <3)

9) Aja (I do like her but she's struggling)
10) Valentina (I don't want to be Detox here but I am 98% convinced she's a fraud and I'm not buying it. She's also showing signs of conceitedness and petulance. Plus I have a natural aversion to hot-out-of-drag queens getting overhyped. She's had one good week so far.)

11) Farrah (don't dislike her, thought she did great at Good Morning Bitches, but she's dead air).

Tom4784 16-04-2017 03:05 AM

I'm kind of struggling with this season, I think there's a serious lack of characters and all the storylines feel like redux of other more interesting drama from past seasons.

Daniel-X 16-04-2017 05:18 PM

I'm watching S1 at the minute just so I can say I've watched all the series and I'm up to date. Piss poor isn't an understatement. Not one queen I'm genuinely interested in/rooting for at the moment.

MB. 16-04-2017 05:20 PM

Not even Tammie Brown (with an ie)?

She went too soon :(

Bebe & Nina are the only two I remotely like at the minute. I like Ongina's drag style a lot but idk something about her personality really pisses me off.

Headie 17-04-2017 02:31 PM

Welp I didn't realise how many times Charlie had been on Bit on the Side









I wasn't that much of a fan of her but I would've loved to see her Snatch Game

Shaun 17-04-2017 02:35 PM

that awkward moment when she's slagging off someone called Farrah as her intended snatch game, Joan Rivers

(but yeah... not great.)

Braden 17-04-2017 03:28 PM

Long live Charlie :love:
