So this 2+ hours special was so bad VH1 deleted it from YouTube! Adam Rippon interviewed the 15 queens one at a time, as they first appeared on a runway that looked like it was in someone's basement. After chatting a bit, he sent them over to Aquaria to do one of two dumb things as voted on by the viewers. When I watched this I skipped most of the challenges, I planned to rewatch but I guess that won't be happening. Aquaria herself was very critical of this format. Kinda epic to be so bad that is was deleted! I wonder if they will do another version, the 15 queens are probably hard to get in one place.

Click here for part one! Hey, all, Pearl has a three part episode on Hey Qween, and a two part episode on Look at Huh. I'll admit I've never liked her much, but she actually shared some interesting experiences related to the show and life after the show. Pearl said that efore filming started they had to lipsync one of Ru's songs (which they never used, I think). Pearl told Ru about being so grateful to be there, thanks for having her on the show, she's always admired Ru, etc. Ru replies with "anything you say that isn't filmed on camera, doesn't matter". Pearl says that she'd literally admired RuPaul since she was two, and after this she felt like her spirit was broken. She also said that the "do I have something on my face?" conversation was much worse than what was shown, it lasted 30-40 minutes, and she knew nothing she said was going to make a difference. I came away with a very different view of her, so you might want to check this out. The first story about Ru telling her nothing matters if it isn't on camera literally left Jonny McGovern speechless. For a few moments anyway.

Derrick Barry roasts himself Hey, all, I went back a few pages and didn't see a link to this. At the hater's roast Derrick Barry was incredibly drunk, and rambled for 12 minutes, including three or four attempts to tell a golden showers joke. You can see Trixie, Eureka, Ginger, Latrice, Alexis and Thorgy in the background. I always love to hear and see Latrice laugh, and there is plenty of that here. Krothotkin at Reddit transcribed this, HERE! A sample, " I am gonna congradulate Miss Trixie Montell Woooooo Trixie? Where? [Trixie is highly visible, behind Derrick] I can't find you. Trixie, listen. Idc if people congradulate you or not- you are the winner of season 3 for me. Yea! And if you think cogr congradulated Shangela, ShEs NoT hErE tonight so FUCK YOU!" The delivery is serious and hilarious. At one point she calls Kim Chi "Chim Key". I thought I'd toss this out as we head into the months between Drag Race shows.

Tammie is touring with Trixie in Australia.

I like Drag Race Thailand, but they use "you've got she-mail", which needs to die an international death. And it was created in the last year or so. I think Ru still doesn't think there's anything wrong with that, or the season 6 mini challenge judging whether body parts are male or female. I think Ru wants to be acknowledged as a pioneer but he refuses to continue to evolve, and that's a huge problem. Ru can be both; a pioneer and someone who is extremely problematic with regards to transgender issues and other things.

I wonder if she'll think that AS2 Roxy needs to have a can of tomatoes thrown at her head, or just season 5 Roxy?

From Justanotherprettlie from the Reddit RPDR drama thread,"Ru loves to get you to a certain place and then yell/preach at you for being there." I'm pretty disgusted at how The Vixen was treated, and the incredibly ham handed mining for emotional trauma. Not even anything organic or sensible, just straight up exploitation by Ru. Oh, a rumor has it that filming the reunion lasted nine hours. I can't imagine being there for nine hours of this.

Leslie Jones' Twitter Leslie Jones from Ghostbusters and SNL has recently discovered Drag Race! I think she started with Season 4, she's just started Season 6, and she talks over clips of the show on her twitter account. She is a newly minted super fan. And she's concerned that the Pit Crew never wear shoes. Give yourselves a treat, check it out! Ok, she's watching the first Untucked and she just said that Laganja is like a "terrible parrot". I want to quit my job and just hang out with Leslie Jones watching RPDR.

You are correct, ARW. It's like she stuck someone else's similar head onto someone else's body. Super fake.

The puppet mini challenge is gone but the emotional porn of talking to photos of their younger selves isn't? This isn't the way to go.

I'm going to quote samburger88 from reddit, because I don't know what to say about this episode: "What a fucking bizarre episode. The mini-challenge was some Adult Swim anti-comedy disaster, AGGRESSIVE music played during the entirety of Ru's walkthrough, Ru herself was loopy, no one's narration was funny or memorable and we had a boring lip-sync that somehow still incorporated multiple flips and splits. Like seriously what even happened." I think being down to just five personalities makes it less interesting. Or, the desperation to push some weird narratives isn't working. I'm looking forward to the finale, I guess, but at this point I don't trust them to make a good choice.

Does Candy mind being sorta shamed by association like that? Will she pony up if they're on an actual public list? I hope Candy is leaving all of her money to charities that provide education to girls around the world.

Heh! A roomba and a sloth! They might have a fresher reality show, too.

Oh, yeah, Estonia's opera singer is really good. Why are so many of the entrants/songs so bland this year?

Thanks for starting this thread! I haven't heard all of the entries yet, but so far I don't really like them much. Netta from Israel is better than most I've heard, as are Spain and Iceland's entries. I hope things imrove.

The whole thing just makes me so uncomfortable. And then Tyra is making threats about Drag Con. I know there is some sort of mental evaluation to get on the show, but maybe they should select out those who are this troubled. And I think WOW should give the contestants some sort of media training. They want the increased profile and the money that comes with it, but I don't think any of them are prepared for what that really means.

Molly Shannon recreating her SNL Courtney Love character would have been a lot better. I'm glad I don't know who Nick whatsit or his wife are. I think if you blab about your unconventional marriage etc. you shouldn't be so boring.

And then Courtney narrated that she'd "made a quip" which made it worse. I don't know who the other guest judge was, but they needn't have bothered having Courtney on, she didn't say or do anything. I didn't want her raving drunkenly, but she was such a non presence, as was the guy.

Oh, and "Spider!" "SPIDER!" "SPPIIIIDDDERRR!!!!"

RuPaul had a cold, I think. The lip sync didn't seem that good to me. I don't think either of them were right for the song. I didn't expect either of them to be bottom two, though. As always, the honest discussion between the queens was better than any created drama.

I'm not seeing many obviously weak queens although Eureka hasn't done well for two weeks. I like Kameron, she's been quiet and hasn't stood out. This is a really good cast!

It's Monday and I don't think the Whatcha Packin is up yet for Vanessa Vanji Mateo. I want more of here, where is this episode?

Or, you can order directly from the official Bianca Del Rio merchandise website and have Bianca get the money. She has that phrase plus her image on shirts and hats.

I was spoiled that Kalorie was bottom two this first episode, and I was sort of rooting for her, mainly because she's New Mexican and we haven't had one on the show from there, and my family is from there. I'd heard she was first to go home, and I had made peace with that, but I was not expecting Vanessa to go! I really liked her, her personality, her voice. I dislike the bringing queens back twist, but I'm hoping they bring her back! I'm happy Kalorie is still around. Seems like a good group. Don't cast Ms. Cracker and Aquaria just to push this stupid rivaly storyline. It's annoying. I really like Mayhem, and I'm glad she's on this season. Hoping this will make up for AS3!

I had forgotten how much I disagreed with the choices for top two and bottom two or three, which might be some justification for overlooking the track records on the show, but mainly, the returning queens shouldn't have had any say in what happened to the final four. And there isn't going to be a reunion?
