S06.E13: Countdown to the Crown

A look back on the highlights, low-lights, and previously unseen footage.

 

[Kaboom 2.0]

Love LOVED this episode, it's still on the dvr and will be rewatched and enjoyed for some time to come (along with the 21 1/2 OMG Moments special). Sure I have quibbles but overall I enjoyed seeing what was included. I do wish other queens would have participated like Willam, Nina, Jessica Wild etc.

 

And yes, it took me a while to realize who "Michelle Visage" was. (shakes head)

It was nice to hear from past queens, for sure. I felt like Jujubee looked really weird! I don't know what she did with her makeup -- I've seen her recently, on Raven and Raja's photo ru-view, and she looked fine, so it's not just aging or something like that. It's what she did with her makeup. She looked a lot "draggier" and less pretty, to my eyes anyway.

 

I follow Willam on tumblr and someone asked him why he didn't attend the finale this year. He said that he has better things to do with his life than get dressed up in drag to sit in the audience of a game show and show up in reaction shots. So... that's probably more or less his attitude toward the Ru-Cap episode, too.

I noticed that also. Her hairline was sitting quite a bit lower than usual and the contacts were doing her no favors. We are totally on the same page with her looking kind of "off"

 

I liked the format of this one far more than the tradition "ru-cap" and I loved that Sharon was in character the whole entire time.

I'm not surprised to learn that Willam thinks he's too good for the show that's the only reason why millions of people know who he is. I found him pretty entertaining on the show, but I haven't enjoyed anything he's done since, and he comes off as a major asshole. So I won't be missing him on any future drag race shows.

I don't know, Egg, I still love me some Willam. Here's an example of why.

 

This is Willam's makeup tutorial, but I love it for his random comments here and there. Be aware that he curses a lot throughout so it's kinda NSFW or at least NSF watching in front of children or whatever.  "Never doubt yourself, kids. If your uncle looks weird, your uncle's f___ing weird. Don't sit next to him."
