The moment they did the 'where are your emotions coming from' cliché I knew Ginger is going to end up 1st or 2nd in the competition. It's just a bit predictable. I don't want her to win it...Katya deserves it more.

How does Katya deserve it more?

As Billion Dollar Baby roughly said earlier in the thread I will FREAK OUT if Pearl gets farther than Ginge in this competition

Because she is a better queen all-round and has been overlooked by RuPaul and the judges in many of the challenges?

Interesting... http://www.chadsellcomics.com/2015/05/rpdr7e10/

Chad:You think Ginger is playing a pretty nuanced game, don’t you?

Oliver: I get the impression that her struggles aren't as real as she makes them out to be. I went to the Season 7 premiere party and got to talk to Ginger, and she explicitly mentioned being a musical theatre performer, and doing a little digging online revealed that she's also a costume designer. You've gotta dance and sew to do those things. You don’t have to be an expert at them, but you need to have a basic knowledge to excel.

Chad: Yeah, she’s been in the game a LONG time! She had this fabulous interview on Feast of Fun where she describes acting in a Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast for more than a year when she was 19! So right, when she says, “I'm not a dancer,” that’s not exactly true. She may feel insecure about dancing, it might not be her strength, but she makes a living as a musical theatre performer and drag queen. You think she’s playing up her vulnerability to be more likeable to the judges and the viewers?

Oliver: I definitely think she’s exaggerating her weaknesses. But I also just get a performative vibe from her in general.

Chad: I’m still pretty sure she’s being set up to win the season, but I’m not rooting for her, yet.

So I think the general vibe here is Ginger and Katya for the top 3 with a third interchangeable queen? I personally think Violet will get the last place

There's something about Ginger that just doesn't sit right with me... I think there is a bit of game-playing and show bias towards her success. Katya is just a phenomenal queen, funny, dark humour, can act, dance, sing, presents a new side to her every time. Katya's Rugrets/Ruflections Youtube show is just a perfect example of that! She's so much better than Ginger, and that's not saying Ginger is bad, but Katya deserves this more.

I definitely think that Ginger is being given the "winners edit", much like Bianca seemed to last season. She seems to be able to do no wrong, but we did get the (I think) fake tears on the runway and nervous talking head segment to show us a bit of vulnerability (which Ru loves) so there's nothing more for Ginger to do but sail to top 3 and Ru to crown her as she wants a bigger girl to win for once. I actually hope she doesn't win, let alone make top 3. I would have picked her as my favourite weeks and weeks ago, but the appeal has slowly worn off. I now want Katya to win for sure.

Wanna meet RuPaul? Wanna go behind the scenes of Season 8's filming and win an all expenses trip to LA?

Tough! The competition announced today is likely only open to residents of Britain or the UK.

TruTV (who are showing Drag Race & Untucked from 1st June 2015, starting with Season 4) are running a competition with RuPaul. How do you win? Post the best lip sync video of you doing one of Ru's songs.

More information on TruTV's website, but like I said, we're likely not eligible.

My eyebrows are going to be so raised with every Santino comment that I'll never need Botox

Rick_ · 11-05-2015 09:43AM

Interestingly, Santino no longer follows Michelle Visage on Twitter. I wonder if Santino left because of a fallout between them, they temporarily made up for the show but now it's back to how it was. Santino's tweets from the past week or so are very cryptic and hint at something going on, without ever revealing what or with who, but it seems like he is taking digs at someone or several people...

Hunchback · 11-05-2015 01:11PM

I am at work, at my desk of a monday morning, just trying to get through a deluge of documents and the only thing that is going around in my head the whole time is

"eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs

all i want is

eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs eggs".

Well, that and a few bars of "cha cha heels". I swear if somebody could hear what is going round and round in my head i would be commited.

Anyone else ever get tortured by some songs or soundbites that they hear on RPDR that then just go around and around in your head ad infinitum for ages?

Rick_ · 11-05-2015 03:57PM

Thankfully my boyfriend likes the show too (but not as much as me:D ) so we quote lines and catchphrases from the show and lyrics from songs by queens that were in Drag Race to each other in normal conversation.

We usually greet each other with "Hiiieeeeeee!! and end with "Byyyeeeeeee!!"

Sometimes, words just get randomly thrown out there. Back-rolls?? Really queen? O-kurrrrrrrrr!

We know the lyrics to most songs released by queens from the show, and sing along to them in the car. Mostly Willam songs though, love AAA Girls and most of Adore's songs too.

Drag Race has taken over our lives!

*death drops*

Basically all of this with me and mine. We're terrible fanboys.

There's a pretty embarrassing amount of lip syncing for our lives in the house too. ¬.¬

Rick_ · 11-05-2015 06:31PM

Yes, same here. We were cooking a meal in the house on Saturday night and he put on some RuPaul songs and I was standing there holding a really hot frying pan with my hips going everywhere to Sissy That Walk and Cover Girl. Never mind the risk of being badly burned by boiling oil, no, I'd rather badly dance and do a lip sync like I'm Jujubee with a huge mouth.

We're so sad, but I love it!

I actually act out Laganja's entrance every time I enter the bathroom.

Rick_ · 11-05-2015 07:51PM

Watch your head on the side of the bath or the sink... Or you'd be sinnnnkeninggggggg!

Look Paddy, did you or did you not come for me. I can't recall the exact moment, but I feel attacked, y'know?

billion dollar baby · 11-05-2015 09:53PM

I'd love to use the lexicon more often but since I'm the only person k know who watches the show it's hard. Whenever I do throw out a quote people usually look at me like I have 10 heads or something.

I usually just quote Gia Gunn. "Are you kidding me right now? You look like a f**king dumpster" Amazing

Rick_ · 11-05-2015 09:55PM

J_E · 11-05-2015 09:57PM

Man...Laganja was the best thing to come out of RPDR. Love her or hate her, she is truly unforgettable and that entrance will never be topped.

Ash885 · 11-05-2015 10:52PM

J_E · 11-05-2015 11:12PM

Oh, we're playing that game?

Never forget :')

Rick_ · 11-05-2015 11:35PM

I did laugh once at Kenya's horrible Beyoncé impersonation. When she fell off the chair and then jumped up shouting "I'm a survivor!". It was so bad it was funny. The rest was god-awful though.
