Trust me, you will enjoy it. It's like ANTM on steroids.

Raja is NOT a Drag Queen! Raja is a pretty boy that likes to play dress up. The only thing wrong with that is, Rupaul and those other damn regular and guest judges keep acting like they can't see it.

Carmen disappointed me. She went total Heather airhead and rode that silly shit to the end.

Shangela might be going home next week because the challenge is Hair! Hair! Hair! and hair is not girlfriend's forte'.

I'm rooting for Alexis but either Camilla and Yara can still come away with it, if they don't fuck it up.

Why is Raja not a drag queen? There are lots of types of drag queens. Some are full on "showy", some are all about being "fishy", others are "artsy"...lots of types.

I'd love to see Raja, Alexis and as it stands a toss up between Yara or Manila for top 3.

I know that and it's my opinion that Raja is just not any type of one. Nina Flowers was far more masculine than Raja but I still saw him as a drag queen. I just don't get that from Raja.

Where do I start? I loved Ru's Paisley Park reference to Carmen...Jody, poor thing, is looking pretty haggard. I thought Carmen's reggae version sucked (but the music sounded like Culture Club, which I loved)...but her lip synch ate shit, and I'm glad she went home! Shangela worked it!

When she said she didn't wanna go with Reggae accents and stuff I turned to Ron and said I'd be thinkin Boy George when recording.

I watched the show while I was getting ready for work this morning, and I just watched "Untucked" online while I was grading during my prep.

This week, let me start with the quotes that stood out to me from Untucked:

• Alexis: "Carmen Carerra is a book of the Bible"
• Raja: "Kindness is really important to me" Really? Which side of your face said that?
• Manila: "We're Heathers. We're all pretty." How old are you?

I liked this challenge... I liked the looks they had to create.

Poor Shangela.

When I heard the lip-synch song, I was like, What?! I would have DESTROYED that! John, watch out! (all praise be to Cher )

Carmen made me hate her just for that crap she tried to dish on that stage.

I have said that I feel Raja looks like "Dude in a Dress"... but I've seen that look a lot in the Village (NYC). I just don't care for it.

During Untucked -- the look on Shangela's face when Carmen is talking about shaving her ass. PRICELESS!!

Carmen Electra seemed at a loss right there. Oh, and leave Miss Jody alone! She might be leg and dairy but she's an effin ICON. Respect!

If this isn't TOP DRAG, I don't know what is...

I didn't mean to disrespect, it's just that I saw her on a few other things recently, and she looked fab! Last night, not so fab. But I LOVE Jody, don't get me wrong! And that there's my J-a-m!

I find myself only wanting to watch the elimination part of the show...I'm sooo ready for this season to be OVER.

I did manage to watch some of Untucked, though. I'm glad Alexis said something about Ms. Carmen. The poor baby is soo in denial. She (Carmen) really thought that EVERYONE loved EVERYTHING that she came with. And did Raja...Raja....Raja. Anywho. Til next week.

Thanks soo much for posting the video, HonEman! That song is a classic!!!!!

I'm in Scotland, so I'm always late watching the new episode (Hallehoo for PB), but yeah, this wasn't one of the better episodes.

Alexis insisting time and time again she didn't resemble a hooker when she was standing there with torn leathers and her tits hanging out was just......

Yara's body is sick.

Shangela's scissor hacked outfit was just plain shameful. The material didn't match the look and the wig was amateur - at best. That said, I'd really miss her stirring shit up if she left (and I have no doubts she'll be sashaying away next week unless someone fucks up big time).

Ru's outfit on the main stage was awful, matched by the stupid wig. Carmen looked hawt, Jody looked puffed up (no shade - love her), and those 2 boys in the studio mixing the vocals were just TOO edible.

I'm still hoping Manilla wins.

Fellow fans, I suggest youtube-ing contestants to see what they can REALLY do (or not do). Yara is pretty awesome (beyond what we've seen on the show so far). Alexis is awesome (but you can kind of tell from the show). The SHOWGIRLSWEHO's channel is great to see current as well as other faves doing their thang.

Remember Sonique? She's on her way to being a gal (for realz) but I thought I'd post this cause it's Priontz related Clearly that is not Denise on vocals.

• I totally think that Stacy needed to leave. She looked like "A Person of WalMart" in those velour pants.

• If I was Raja, I would have dyed those bloomers brown.

• I'm sorry, but Delta acted like an EFFIN' Teenage Girl. Shangela is a pain in the ass, but Delta came off like she needed to defend Raja... Who needs NO help with the bitch role. Was admitting that she is capable of being mean a confession? Really?
• (And that "Heather" shit? )

• Shangela. Please. Just leave.

• I loved the way Yara just chilled during the bitchfest.

• I hated Ru's outfit this week.

• My favorite look? Yara.

OMG !

Well, guys it just came to me that we're reached in top 5 on RPDR.

For those of us that predicted in the beginning of the season who would be the final 5..were you correct?

My final three:

Raja- sorry, but all negatives aside...she's a fierce bitch. but, then again, with as much experience as she says that she have...shouldn't she be?

Alexis- i didn't have a problem with her take on hip-hop. it was pure kim/nikki, even if the hip padding was extreme...oh wait, so is miss minaj's.

Yara- she may not stand out imo, but she is consistent.

Raja said that she is her only competition, but I think that she needs to add Alexis to that short list.

My top 3 as well.

2 out of the 3 were in my initial Top 5 (when we were calling without having yet seen much from them). I've really come to enjoy Yara. 2 out of 3 aint bad.

Biggest (pleasant) surprise: Yara

Biggest disappointment : Delta

Delta was my biggest disappointment too. I just knew when she came with that Kwazaa outfit, that she was going to kill it on RPDR. But, her purpose became being there just to critique the other big girls. And as they were eliminated, bits of her confidence went with them. I guess it got too much of a burden having to be the sole representative for the big girls everywhere. There was no reason why she could not have won it all. She said upon exitting that she was glad that she lost to a Heather, well imo the only Heather that she lost too was herself.

She was good but I'm so over the drop-back and arm pumping. Pageant queens been doing that since 90's. I'm also not a fan of having a bunch of different voices in 1 mix unless it's for comedic reasons.

She's definitely talented and energetic.

Lawd I remember stages that are like freakin 5 feet deep and not much wider
