I love that some people (todrick and some of the old DR girls online) are trying to say that it was always meant to do this What excitative thought hey let’s cut 6 of the episodes ONE being a stuffed episode of snatch game to an hour but THEN expand the rest? the show tanked no one asked for Toddrick and no one wanted that horrible show that they thought we wouldn’t mind them cutting drag race for

Well damn, I was liking the shorter eps lol. Oh well, I'll just go back to fast forwarding the judges deliberations like I always did.

And yet the episode released this week was still 40 minutes long...

The article says that the longer episodes start March 10.

Aw, crud. I misread it as Feb 10, initially. I'm so confused. I was led to believe there were only 11 episodes to this season...if they go to 90 minutes March 10, and Feb 10 was Ep 7...is there a hiatus somewhere in there? Or are they basically extending them riiiiight at the end when there are few enough contestants left that the length might not have been a problem anyway?

TVDb says this season has 16 eps, like the last 2.

I loved Heidi so I'll enjoy watching her again and I just plain love Jimbo!  He didn't get a great edit on UK v. the World, but I nutty for his shenanigans!  

I think Ru has oversaturated the market and I'm not exactly interested in weeks and weeks of petty drama instead of excellent lipsyncs and fun performances.  :(

A bit late but always love Jayme's interviews at LA Drag Con. If you have time they're a fun watch

Well, this is delightful. Kim Chi has a cookbook coming out! I don't normally do celebrity cookbooks, but I might here.

Why?  The season was already ruined.  I think this is a case of too little, too late.

Hahaha. Wait, so they expect us to go back and watch season 15 again for more content???  HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA DYING OVER HERE 

[zenithwit]

Surprised no one has posted this here yet.  Ru and WoW are probably thanking their lucky stars that they never gave Shangela the crown (except for that random Christmas special when everyone won).

Full page article in the Washington Post on Nymphia Wind and her impact in Taiwan.  I agree she deserved the win, but this may have put some sway into Ru's final decision.
