MTV: RuPaul's Drag Race

[alwaysAMC]

This season is not good.  I couldn't even tell you the names of the first 4-5 queens that left.  They all blended together into a total mediocre snore.  

I'm guessing top 3 will be Brook Lynn Hytes, Nina West, and Evie. 

[Gray Bunny]

Yeah, Brook Lynn Hytes definitely. And I can see Nina West slide into the top 3 inconspicuously. 

 

Agreed that Miss Vanjie is good for entertainment and commentary, but as a drag queen, so basic and unpolished. How many times must she wear a leotard? Side note: She was in town last weekend and I saw her performances online --- it was bad. She's lucky she has the personality to keep people entertained. 

 

I feel for Evie and her medical condition and hope she goes far.  Meanwhile, Rerun from What's Happening is another that can be funny, but also thinks way too much of herself and her looks are basic. 

 

Snatch Game was a disappointment. Rerun Silky should've gone with an Oprah or Monique instead.  Nina's was the best. It's rare when a queen chooses someone obscure to impersonate and it goes well. Jinkx Monsoon's Little Edie was the best.

Brooklyn and Yvie in Snatch Game was one of the worst performances I've ever seen. Silky didn't make me laugh because I don't follow TS Madison so it just seemed like Silky being Silky who I loathe.

I can still enjoy the show, but something changed for me when the mainstream acclaim (Emmys, move to VH1) started.

I loooooove this season. This is the best since Bob won. I felt it was getting stale and very samey, but this is a diverse bunch with different takes in drag and lots of different personalities which makes it watchable. I’m loving it. I think looking at who is left you have a good bunch. My personal favorites are Yvie (who I’m seeing tonight), Akeria and Brook Lynn. I loooove Vangie as a personality, but I’m sick of her getting the same critiques and never having to lip sync. I also feel Plastique is getting a pass for being very one note on the runway. Nina West is one I feel is underrated, along with Akeria. I feel Nina deserved to win Snatch Game. Her runway was better than Silky which should’ve given her the edge.

I am mixed on this season's finale song.  While I appreciate that the videos in later season include more of the ladies performances, the variable levels of ability seemed like more of an issue in this song.  I totally disagree with the critique of Brook Lynn, but Miss Vangie was visibly not lip syncing.  Read U, Wrote U and Kitty Girl are still the two songs that I replay, and I don't this one is going on my playlist.

RuPaul being complicit in fracking is not the story I imagined hearing today.

AOC was pretty good as a judge. You could tell she loved the show (before she said it explicitly backstage on Untucked).

 

I thought Jan was great, but Gigi deserved that win.

Glad to see Brita finally gone.

Loved this from last week (the second tweet featuring Jaida, not that Brita mess up top)...
