RuPaul's Drag Race

Thank you for being fishy to the fish mawma

Detox is killing it this season! That last runway slayed!

Happy with the decision, the saved queen could have walked down the runway tarred and feathered and would still want her to stay over elimianted queen.

I like the episode, the Phi Phi edit is...interesting!

Runway is so crucial, even if you slay the maxi-challenge :O

Anyone seen this weeks ep?

Gutted is an understatement.

There's also so much drama revolving around a few queens and the reunion that's planned (which will be in the style of the S1-3 reunions) is going to be explosive to say the least.

Phi Phi tweeted that she is not going to show up to the reunion. She feels that she has been mistreated and misrepresented by the show and that in order to protect herself and her mental health she is going to give the reunion show a miss. Which is a great shame to be fair, because no doubt if there was going to be tension and drama at the reunion (and it's fair to say that we would expect that), it would have emanated from her or centred around her. I hope she changes her mind.

That being said, it seems fairly clear that the eternally creepy CoCo Montrese is endeavouring to keep herself if the public mind by having a meltdown in relation to the way she was eliminated by Roxxee Andrews - she called her a bus-stop bandit on twitter, which was by and large received fairly poorly by the public. Yes, Katya riffed on that when the queens were reading each other, but she cleared it with Roxxee first to make sure that it was okay with her to do this. When CoCo did it, it was with bitterness and it certainly did leave a bad taste in the mouth. And let's face it - when CoCo was eliminated, it was absolutely fair. Her talent segment in the talent show was muck - it was crap to look at and it didn't really go anywhere. How she could be so tacky to her friend is beyond me.

I am loving the series so far. So much better than Allstars 1. Although Allstars 1 itself could have been so much better except for the utterly deplorable decision to have the queens competing in teams of 2 (Manila for example was slaying that season).

I personally am rooting for Roxxee Andrews. I fear for her though. I reckon she will be on the chopping block soon enough. Maybe even next for the chop. But I am just glad that she got something of a rudemption. She has shown that she is not the nasty person that she was made out to be in her season. (I actually didn't think that she was too bad on her season, even if she acknowledges that she was bad, herself).

The best part of the whole thing is that when this Allstars is done, we only have to wait a half a year for the next season to start, instead of 10 months -WOO HOO!

It's a TV show, it's not that serious. I take it at face value and don't base someone's entire personality on something that is edited for the sake of drama. People say what they say but context can be important. I've met people who have been painted as such and have been some of my favourite to meet (Acid) and some who were a big disappointment (Bob). However if you're gonna talk **** then you need to own it which is the difference in her situation. I don't think she's a nasty person but sometimes people do nasty things.

It's a competition. If someone's opinion or mind games is enough to put you off your game or change your character then you obviously had reservations to begin with. We don't know if any of the others had anything negative to say about Alyssa as it wasn't shown. But it was shown that Detox agreed with Phi Phi. Are we gonna tear her down as well? She's entitled to her opinions whether we agree with her or not.

Some people aren't suited for the pressures that come with being on reality TV. However what is getting to me is the fact that people are being derogatory about Phi Phi's mental health and making fun of it, tearing her down even further. If people really feel that way then just leave her be, leave anyone like that be. There is no justification to me to send death threats and hate. However I don't take it personality as I don't know her, its not my life and doesn't affect me. I am fascinated by those that get so wound up over people they don't have any personal dealings with.

tl;dr who cares, its a tv show.

Could not agree more Reiketsu. I am not directing this comment at any posters here by any means, but it really does make me scratch my head when people denigrate a persons very essence as a human being based on what is basically a piss-take reality show.

And at any rate, that is the sort of bitchiness that is synonymous with drag queen culture. Not only that, but people frequently say that they live for the drama of past seasons - especially seasons 4, 5 and 6. And yet these days people like Phi Phi who create that drama are utterly castigated.

Phuck that - unpopular opinion alert - Phi Phi is a fierce queen.




Afterthought - she indicated on periscope that she is going to quit drag at the end of the year - prolly when her 365 days of drag are done - WELL DONE YOU TINY HISTRIONIC FREAKS ON YOUR LAPTOPS ACROSS THE WORLD

Graham Norton is the extra special guest judge on this weeks episode!
