What kind of backward yeehaw logic is this bull****

OK so I don't say this lightly... but that was the best premiere the show has ever had, including All Stars.

I suppose it's no coincidence that the best season of all time - 6 - had a split opening and it really, really helps the queens embellish themselves. All seven of them had time to shine, and the personalities are already excellent. The performance... I've already commented on, it's fantastic, especially for a first episode. The lipsync was fantastic... I was cringing at Widow's flexibility, laughing at Gigi's theatrics (that little leg wobble after the "twinkle twinkle little star" line :joker:) but oh my god Widow is an assassin. I fear she may have shown all of her cards too early, though.

Heidi is my absolute favourite. I know I always love the pageant queen with a Southern accent but oh my god her lines were hysterical. "You mean paint dry?" "Oh... uh huh????" Interrupting Michelle and Ru on the stage with her "I will never eat kale again. NEVER!" line cracked me tf up. She is just so adorable, and I wish she'd been shown a little more sympathy by the show if that ER story was genuine (especially with the level of preparation and work for this episode, I mean they had to do S7's Fall/Spring runway challenge, a glitter runway, AND that performance choreo, AND write a rap?)

Crystal is very endearing too but I am fearful of her mullet. Jackie is hot af out of drag and very smart/funny as well, but I'm not really that into the whole Mad Men aesthetic TOO much (it's fine in moderation) so I'm gonna have to channel my inner Visage and ask her to mix it up a bit. Nicky is a true unique, and I loved her confessionals over the pronunciation of hummus and conquer. Gigi looks already like the total package and had some fantastic looks and a strong verse. Brita has bags of confidence and will probably get a "delusional" edit in moderation over the season if she struggles more in challenges like she did with this one but I really like her too. And I just love the complete no-holds-barred approach from Widow, I'm tired of queens holding their tongues and just trying to get a good edit... she's got the skills to back up her mild attitude over the choreography (which REALLY wasn't even that bad).

Nicki Minaj was probably the best of the "big popstar premiere judges" as well... I know Gaga was brilliant, and Xtina's Farrah Moan meme was funny, and Miley is probably still hiding from Silky Ganache... but Nicki's personality and reaction to everything was just so entertaining (and I even liked the cheesy-af runway introduction where she scuttered away from Ru's moment).

In season six, the first episode (Adore, Laganja, April, Vivacious, Kelly, Dela & Gia) was weaker than the second (Bianca, Courtney, Milk, Darienne, Joslyn, Trinity & Magnolia)... this time around, it's going to take a hell of an episode to match that comparison.

I agree with this post so much! I LIKED Jackie, but she did not interest me as much as some of the other Queens. I think her drag is really polished and clean, but it just doesn't excite me as much as some of the others. I LOVED Crystal's looks even though they may be a bit more "costume-y" cause I don't know what she's going to bring out next. I loved Heidi's personality and performance, Widow is clearly a very talented performer, and I liked Gigi's looks and she seems more interesting than a lot of people gave her credit for before the season started.

Based on all the press material, unfortunately the second half seems to be the weaker bunch. I am excited to see what Rock M Sakura and Jaida bring to the table, but next week has two Queens that may be missing that little extra oomf (Aiden and Dahlia - could be proved wrong though), and the Queen who I was definitely the most annoyed by in interviews (Sherry Pie). We'll see though.

I agree with you on all of them, can't wait to see how the next set of queens can get on the level of this episode

I have never watched untucked, is it worth watching?

Shaun 03-03-2020 07:34 PM

This episode didn't really have much, nah... it's just an even more heavily-edited bit of chitchat that tries to orchestrate drama :laugh: tries to paint out Heidi as this bitter, moody person who hates Nicki Minaj for saying stuff about her makeup when you can see her actually laughing about it in the pan-shots :laugh:

Okay I think I'll pass :joker:

It's good for the emotional moments (Heidi also has a story about being isolated by her local drag scene) but unless there's a full-blown argument it's just annoying to watch because they cut and paste random shots to try and create a false narrative.

Shaun 04-03-2020 05:42 PM



Hopefully they review the Spring/Fall looks when the other 6 present theirs :fc:

Shaun 13-03-2020 06:58 AM

I suppose it's worth posting just for the clip used for Jackie's entrance, but ho boy we're in for another season of Lee Dawson's quite obvious racism
