Default S12, Episode 7 - "Madonna, The Unauthorised Rusical" (preview)



Who's gonna get the part with like 2 lines and then get told off for "not standing out" this week then, girlies?

Hoping Widow Von'Du carries the performance element of this episode just as she did in the first episode

I fear for Crystal, because tbh I want Widow Von'Du out as soon as possible. She's mediocre and not living up to the hype.

I can already feel the messy runway looks knowing the theme is apparently Michelle Visage's iconic looks (when did she ever have some in the first place?)

Widow and Heidi are the only two worth stanning this season

I'm not watching until the morning but I heard Gigi slandered Patti LuPone, so she can choke!

-Widow still crashed herself and it is glorious to watch. She's so annoying, full of herself and thinks she's the best when clearly she's not going near the top. She's unbeareable on Untucked too.

-Unpopular opinion, but I like that we saw more of Sherry because apart from what happened, she still is a great performer and she brings LOOKS.

-This is now confirmed, S12 is officially the least likeable cast of all time. Apart from Heidi and Crystal, they're all mean and terrible.
It's not fun to watch them talk to each other, forcing themselves to laugh or cry. It's not 'fun shade", it's really mean and low. They really don't like each other and it shows. If it was the most talented and competitive season I wouldn't mind too much, but the talent level is just above S11

-Brita as a man can get it 24/7 from me, but as a Drag Queen it was her time to go. And mess @ her fakeness at the beginning over Aiden.

-Jan shoud have won this week, but I guess that's what you get for hyping yourself way too much. Jan being pressed about it is hilarious too. At least it gives us a story line this season other than Aiden bothering everybody.

-Now Gigi is clearly the winner of the season by nailing looks, Snatch Game, a lip sync, and a Rusical...But she's unlikeable!
At least Ru made it less predictable for Aquaria in S10.

-Once again, I see zero relevance of having a top model and a politician to judge a musical. wtf is happening with runway themes and guest judges appearance order this year is beyond me.

I like Heidi more than Brita but I thought Heidi got destroyed in the lip sync. She was low energy for most of it.

Kinda done tbh with this season now, it’s painfully obvious now that Gigi is the winner and everyone else just feels like an extra in her one-woman show.

I would care less if she wasn’t painfully boring, her ‘fashion’ looks were actually gorgeous (all her looks have been nothing on Aquaria, Violet, Raja etc. already) and all three of her wins weren’t TIGHTLY contested by Jaida (Ball episode), Sherry (Snatch Game) and Jan (this week).

Jan and Jaida deserved a better season than this **** show I’m sorry gals x

Oh and I would’ve actually given all three of those the win for those respective episodes and placed Gigi high, but hey ho x

I am SO over Gigi.

Brita’s fake “I love aiden” at the beginning sent me and then when Jan was practising on stage and her talking head is like “Jan likes to think she’s the best” I was just like... the lack of self awareness???

Anyway, I thought it was a good Ep overall, everyone did pretty well, the right person went, the right person didn’t win, but oh well.

I think it’s been a good season so far idk what y’all are complaining about

It's a good cast and a good season but yeah the predictable winner at this point is just SO disappointing. Especially when - as Daniel-X pointed out - all of her wins have been debatable. I STILL don't get what was so funny about her robot!

But then this show caters to the type of fan that think she actually beat Widow Von Du in the first lipsync so **** it, the show's gone to the dogs and the illiterate preteens who don't know **** about drag

great task/episode, a disaster of a outcome in results, jan deserved that, even widow did better then gigi? her michelle look was cute but it was basically laced lingerie and a blonde wig girl?

as said loved the task, however so so disappointed confessions madonna didn't get a nod? probably her most iconic era in the last twenty years?

Everyone pressed over Gigi because she has "no personality" but I'm getting heaps of personality from her? She tells it like it is (See: Heidi this week, Ru in the Snatch Game walkaround), she clearly has her head screwed on when it comes to portraying emotion/personality in her performances, AND she is a vocal narrator in confessionals also. You don't need to be hooping and hollering and bopping all around the workroom in order to have a personality. People just seem mad that she's steamrolling the competition but don't take it out on Gigi, take it out on the other queens who are failing to match her!

I do think this week should have been a double win between Jan and Gigi. However, Jan's entitled attitude STUNK this week. She assumed she'd win and was furious when she didn't. It was painfully obvious by the beaming smile on her face all week and how excited she was at her "runaway" performance, and this has been a consistent theme with Jan all season long.

Anyway, I thought this was one of the best Rusicals they've done. Not quite on the level of Bitch Perfect or Kardashian, but definitely more cohesive and generally well executed across the board unlike Cher, Trump, PharmaRusical or Glamazonian.

This!

I really don’t understand how Gigi won over Jan this week, but I suppose I’ll just have to accept that this season is hers now.

One thing I think this season is missing is more fun in the workroom. Season 10 was a HOOT with lots of funny moments between Asia, Monét and Monique. We also had the Monét/Cracker friendship and the Kameron/Eureka friendship.

This season, I don't get a sense of who likes eachother and which of the queens are close friends. Too much time is spent crying over their traumas when we should be getting half and half drama/fun.

I enjoyed the ep, the musical was pretty good! I do think Jaida and Widow were the strongest and Jaidas runway was good too. Gigi winning was questionable but predictable.. if she can walk out in a bikini and win then you know shes the clear favourite.

Gigis madonna was definitely one of the best, and I think her win this week was slightly more justified than last weeks for that (awful) robot snatch game.. but you'd think Ru would let someone else have a win, considering Jaida, Widow, Crystal, Jan etc all did just as good as Gigi.

anyway thank GOD we finally say the back of Brita, she'd long outstayed her welcome

The judging this season is pretty frustrating. I pretty much agree with everything said about Gigi so far - she's clearly a talented queen but God they are pushing so hard for her to win. Her look was SO basic and her performance didn't match to Jan's or Jaida's imo (there's nowhere near enough talk about how amazing Jaida look in the Rusical)
Idk why they want her to win so bad though, it's not like we haven't had a 21 year old white fashion queen who came in with a reputation with every thinking they had no personality but then proved that they did win the show storyline, give us something different!

I agree with Widow deserving the first lipsync, and Gigi did rather good tbh

BUT
I am bit over the splits, drops, and all those stuff because overusing takes away the essence of a lipsync. A lot of queens think this is the way to go, and do that on songs that don't require any. (oh hey Brooke during the finale) Sometimes, a good lipsync is knowing your words and adding comedy and drama, not splitting your god damn knee open.

I mean, it's not just Widow, last year Brooke and Ivy were doing way too much for Sorry Not Sorry. And Widow was overusing it in the challenge and lipsync combined. Not taking any of her talent away though. Some people like to enjoy lipsyncs without all of that constantly.

^I agree with the fact that doing flips and tricks doesn't always equal a good lipsync and that Widow maybe did a little too much - but it's not like Gigi delivered a hilarious never seen before lip-sync herself. She made a couple silly faces and shook about a little

But I do agree a proper funny and clever lip-sync tends to be better than a flip and splits one

Exactly. She's talented, but I can't get to like her other some others because some of her wins are questionnable and very close to other performances. Not saying she's not talented once again, but I don't get all this push to justify her win.

And she isn't showing to be someone having a great personality either. We're far from charismatic winners like Alaska, Bianca, Jinx, Bob, Trixie who had that special thing about them.
