I was too tired to stay awake through it all, but I have to say that the producers are REALLY overdoing the whole hashtag thing. Every time I stumbled awake, I saw a new hashtag. What is up with that?

I did see the LSFYL, and although I didn't like that Detox wore a similar billowy frock last week (Honey part 2?) I loved when she did that twirl. Almost made up for it.

Total side note: Speaking of Prince & Lady Bunny...there is an art exhibit at the New Museum in NYC that has a video installation that plays Controversy, and a painting that is of Lady Bunny (an interpretation, of course). If you are in NYC (and accept that art is subjective), I would recommend going. I'm surprised Prince hasn't shut the one installation down.

I didn't know you were a Producer for Drag Race. smile

Ever go to the Soul Slam - MJ vs. Prince dance parties? Those were amazing. I don't think they've had one in a while.

Good call, Ms. Ru!

PS. I continue to begrudgingly like Alyssa. She gives great drag and continues to act a pro. If she keeps on this track she might really take it far in the competition.

I agree. At first I didn't like Alyssa, but she is truly talented and beautiful when done in drag, I don't know how, but her make-up is always flawless and on-point. As for the double-elimination (I don't know if you all saw it yet) I saw that one coming...two boring people lip-syncing for a Burger King crown, not their lives.

I like Jade, she's cute as a girl, but I see why Alyssa came for her in the Untucked episode. She can't ride on the whole cutesy-girl, Lisa Frank bit forever. She has to get edgy with it, but if that's not her style, fine, she is free to leave then.

I love JINX. She is so freakin' cute and funny, and her drag is quirky yet beautiful. You can tell that she has confidence in herself and has reached a place where she works with what she has to the fullest of her ability.

Coco, I know she's rude at times, but I see her going far, that two-tone, orange play-doh make-up though, it has to be toned down.

IIIIVYY WIIIINTEERRRS is cute as both a boy and a girl. I want to see more personality from her and see how she stands out from the rest.

Alaska is showing herself worthy more and more each week. At first when she didn't do the tank thing, I was like girl, bye, but she is stepping out more and more each week. Her soulmate Sharon Needles scares me, but I appreciate the aesthetics of her perfromance and the macabre/comedic quality of it.

Alyssa...I like her so far. Let's see though.

Roxxy, is thick and delicious and arrogant, and her hair is always done right...except for this past week. That outfit looked botched like Detox's face.

I really do love Detox though. She is a star, and her drag is wonderful. I'm trying to figure out where she got them breasts from, because I would like a pair. He face needs to be undone a little though, took much work! It enhances her drag though, I guess.

Who else is there? I don't remember

Anyways, I love this show!!! After Tyra Banks shat on America's NExt Top Model and I lost cable/satelite tv, I have been needing this show in my life, so I am glad that it is on Logo.com. I also have past favorite queens:

Manila Luzon

Raven

Jujubee

Pandora Boxx

Raja

I think that's all for now. Also, what does everyone think of Shangela's new song "Werqin Girl"? I like Manila's "Hot Couture" song better.

As far as this whole Alyssa/Coco thing, I tend to side with Coco. I think the whole thing is stupid but I find Alyssa more catty than Coco. Her "joking" is a hidden read. I love her runway but her sense of sisterhood needs improvement.

See, for the first few episodes I felt this way, but I feel that Coco has shown herself more and more shady and one for unnecessary theatrics whereas I feel Alyssa runs her mouth unapolagetically more often than does as "kidding". There is nothing for Coco to be bitching about. When you take over someone's reign you are not robbed the glory of crowning, you're doing your job as 1st alternate. lol If you want to avoid any possibility of that happening, then you don't compete at all. It's very simple really. I think she gives good drag and is a good performer but her blahblah is getting old and boring. She also tries to rally other girls to her corner while Alyssa so far has stood as a bitch on her own and I totally respect that. lol

yeah, of the two, coco works my nerves a little more.

alyssa has been stepping up her game, whereas coco hasnt been.

jinx yet again tops my list. great performance in the challenge, and getting closer to glam on the runway. i am starting to wish they would stop giving her grief over the glam thing though, although they didnt push it as hard. just let her be her, cause she is proving herself more and more every week. bar a major fuck-up, she's at least top 5.

detox was... okay, i suppose... in the performance, but killed it on the runway. considering how many music videos and songs i have seen detox do outside of the show, i was really let down by the blah performance in the challenge.

ivy... great in the performance. great dress. i would have given the win to jinx, but okay. still bored though.

roxxxy... mediocre and forgettable in the challenge, looked great on the runway. but the body thing and similar looks is getting old. she seems to really only be good at being a little funny and giving that same look.

alyssa was okay, considering she cant sing. good look, and she still is growing on me.

alaska sucked in the challenge. i was also kind of bored by the runway look. it was nice to see her break down and get vulnerable when they clocked her for it. that gave me a little more faith in her.

coco... hated that dress. she also got off really easy in the critique of the performance. the whining is also at critical mass. she is slowly working her way down my list, and i am about ready for her to go.

jades sucked in the challenge, and that outfit was one of the worst in the history of the show. why... why must we deal with her? she's par to sub-par as a queen, and has the personality of spam.

jade versus coco was exactly what the lip synch needed to be. those were the clear bottom 2.

coco did pretty well in the lip synch.

FINALLY!!!! NO MORE JADE!

so now that i have seen the trailer for next week, and know it's a roast of ru...

i think ivy will end up in the bottom 2. maybe alyssa, maybe coco. it's jinx or alaska's challenge to lose.

OK...

Ivy yawn I do hope she's up for elimination next.

Detox yawn in the challenge, fierce on the runway

Roxxxy I do love her looks and I feel she's strong but it's time for her to gather her shit and bring it again. I feel like she started really strong and is now coasting on that. She needs to be shaken if it continues.

Alaska I like her but it's a love/hate thing. One minute I feel she's doing something so clever and funny and the next I'm wondering why she has to look an almost-so-fierce hot mess. I'm tired of her runway looks being a saved-from-the-dumpster looking mermaid cut gown and morning-after-looking makeup (yeah I know what that looks like cause I've driven home in it lol ) Her goddam makeup never looks fresh and fierce, always as if she's been through some trenches.

Coco Cherhammerceee ENOUGH! Stop gurl, just stop. When she feels Detox and others are fuckin with her then she talks to Alyssa like she's got a minute in her day for her, but then it's Untucked time and she's gonna go back to bitching about Alyssa. Her performance was weak (and unprofessional) and her runway was not cute. Step it up! She's got a chance to stay next week if she has to lipsynch against Ivy. I say a chance because while I think she's a good performer, I feel like the TV gods could suddenly show us a different side of Ivy during a LSFYL.

Alyssa- I continue to like her more and more. So much so, I kind of want her to win at this moment. I feel she's a pro as far as how she conducts herself and handles challenges (maybe she learned her lesson from not being professional when she was de-throwned, who knows shrug) She gives great looks. And I feel she's one of the truest so far. I also feel like bitches just refuse to connect with her but she keeps on tickin. Had that been anyone else during the Untucked, bitches would've been huggin and kissin on her. Instead everyone was sobbing but the best she got was some back patting from Roxxxy. lol That's some shit.

Jinxx- She needs to get her look together. That runway mess was cheap lookin and miles from glam. Judges totally gave her a PASS because of performance. Her makeup is mediocre. She's really good for the niche of what she does and I get that. She's theatre and comedy and when you're in a theatrical performance space her look (adjusted to what character she might be portraying) is fine, BUT...this is not a theatre performance competition and you've got to hit on ALL of the points they're looking for. She tried to adjust her makeup and it was a shading/contouring mess. What MOST let me down about Jinxx this week was that she waves her "misunderstood outsider freak" flag every week And acts all sad about how folk don't get her but her inner "mean girl-wannabe" crept out her ass and showed itself when they all were picking on Alyssa.

Jade NEEDED to go. Of all the queens to have come to this show not ready to, i think she takes the cake. She makes me wonder if any of the ones already gone went 1 week too soon. Her looks are barely drag. She's just a girly boy playing with ugly girl clothes. Buh-Bye! wave

dancing jig Yay, Jade's gone. She could sense she wasn't up to speed with the others so she broke out that Rainbow Brite's cracked out cousin look? Lord, I hope they don't bring her back.

Roxxxy got on my nerves. Her whole arrogant, look at me attitude is wearing thin. And I'm tired of seeing swimsuit looking outfits with the sides cut out and sparkly bright colors in the inner corners of her eyes.

I'm in the minority here, but I'm not a Detox fan. It's hard for me to see beyond the horrible plastic surgery. It may help her drag look but her boy face is fucking scary.

Coco was very disappointing. Funny how Alyssa was the first person Coco picked to be on her team when it was a dance challenge, something Alyssa excelled at, but when someone else pairs them together, she's crying shade. Don't get me wrong, Detox did that shit on purpose but it is what it is, get your shit together and work through the bullshit. She really could have used that as an opportunity to further herself in the season. If Alyssa and her would have done well at that challenge, even if they didn't win it, it would have scored them major points for working through the adversity. And then to walk out in that hot mess of an outift on the runway? I have a feeling she's going next. Or at least she should.

Still not a huge fan of Alyssa but she redeemed herself a little with me on this episode.

Obvious straight girl here, I love Ivy Winters! Yes, I get how you guys think she's boring but I still find her so beautiful. She's now in my top 3, with Jinkx and Alaska.

i love ivy, i just dont think she brings much more than pretty, great looks, and genuine sweetness backstage. good singer, i guess.

once she gets a few years more experience, she's gonna be killer, but... she just feels like a high school student in a room full of PHds, when you put her next to say, detox, jinx, alaska, alyssa, coco, and even roxxxy.

I swear to Christmas I don't know what is in everyone's eyeballs that they think Ivy Winters is so pretty. LOOKS. LIKE. A. DUDE. neutral

I see her trying to go at it the Pandora route of quirky and funny (matter of fact I'd say Jinkx is her direct competition), at her prettiest, in the looks department, she's the Phyllis (Cloris) of this competition.

Jealous? If I were to be healous of one thing Ivy has is her boy looks. I'd love to be that young and skinny and cute as a boy. There's nothing of his drag to be jealous of. lol

And no, he's the Cloris (in the looks department) because Cloris was quirky/attractive (not pretty) in an angular, kinda hard and older looking way, and so far Jinx's most attractive look has been...Edie, so come on now.

Jumping in late... boxed

I do have to say that I am so tired of the tears every friggin' week!!

Johnart, I almost called you last week to ask if Queens actually cry that much! confused

I don't want to repeat what was said, so I will just say:

  • Jade's voice drove me nuts. Every time he spoke, I pictured slapping him mad
  • Roxxxy's body is bugging me... shake Flabby ain't cute. There have been other thick girls, but he's got this boxy thing going on... I was not feeling that cutout thing last week because of that... and the flat ass. neutral
  • Coco/Alyssa... pout JUST STOP. We get it. You had a falling out. It's not compelling enough to keep discussing.
  • The "RoLaskaToxx" schtick is not even as "cool" as the "Heathers", and you all know how I felt about THAT! lol
  • And RUPAUL: Please stop saying "Ivyyyy Winterzzz" like that every single time. rolleyes

I don't know who I am for yet. I'm getting too caught up in the workroom drama, and am having a hard time choosing.

her body doesnt bother me, and i am all for people embracing curves.

my problem with it is she is overworking it. she keeps coming down the runway in nothing but "look at my naked curves" outfits. she's like a thicker carmen carrera that way.

Okay, yes.
I'm a curvy girl, so I'm not hating on that.
I think he/she is flabby and not necessarily curvy, but "blocky".

And yes... Accentuate the shape with clothes that show us what you have.

i agree. she certainly could be playing hips and ass to match those fake boobs. but she cant because she keeps doing naked hips.

i said in the first episode i thought that black dress with the hips cut out was kinda not well made. i couldnt believe she won that challenge. i also didnt like that roll of lifesavers color-blocked half-naked one she had.

they (rightfully) rode carmen for just doing naked body, naked body, naked body. i kinda wish they would point out to roxxxy that her thicker version of it has gotten a bit stale.

I'm rooting for Alyssa, Alaska or Jinx. Am I the only one who cried during Untucked when Alyssa's dad called? I know it's edited to manipulate you but I fell for it. Maybe, cause I'm a Texas boy and though I'm not a drag queen (god to have that courage) this Texas gay boy is still waiting for his dad to call.
