I think with their track record there has to be some "umpfh" to the Latino queens. Otherwise they're just so forgettable and less understandable. Que the "omg she's fierce" reaction when there's a tailored challenge for her to win.

18-03-2016 07:48PM

I just think the worst part of it all is that her elimination was so justified that I think it's very unfair to bring her back. The dress, photo and lip sync were all terrible. Then she gets to come back while Laila and Dax! are both gone even though they performed better than her.

Honestly, her lip sync to Applause was so terrible as well. At least with Laila, she really wanted it. Nayasha didn't seem that bothered. She is fierce in a very fishy way, but I can't imagine she'll stick around too long.

I watched both episodes on YouTube. Loving the new series so far, great potential for the rest of the episodes.

The latest spoilers are very.......disappointing. Was anybody looking for this queen to return? Pointless twist

That's the thing; nobody will be gagged/happy. It's a lackluster twist in a season that just doesn't need it...

Rick_ · 20-03-2016 08:52PM

Episode 3 has already leaked. I'm holding off until Tuesday, even though I know who the returning queen is.

Oh, has everyone seen the Ru-up for Season 8 Episode 1 yet?

Ash885 · 21-03-2016 10:50PM

Robbie seems to be getting a lot of cut away scenes and "storytelling" bits similiar to Bianca and other front runners. I'm baffled really. Was one of the queens I thought I'd love but not warming at all at all...

Rick_ · 23-03-2016 11:51AM

Another great episode this week. Did feel kinda rushed though, we went to the main stage 18 minutes in. I liked the RuCo challenge, but feel the rollerskate runway could have been better kept for a different week and could have even been a theme in itself with outfits to match instead of it seemingly 'tacked on' to another challenge like it was this week.

Oh, and here's episode 2 of the Ru-up

BOYS in the Olympic last night was ****ing savage

Ash885 · 23-03-2016 07:59PM

Sharon stole the show for me. Loved her!

Pandora not so much...! Who knew Michelle could sing THAT well though? Fair play to her.

Stop. Sharon dominated. Easily the best. Slayed. Her CJ impression was golden. I'm not even a particular Sharon fan but she converted me. Would have liked to have seen more of Violet. All round, I was surprised by how good the singing was - Adore was just showing off!

Bit disappointed by Katya and Pandora, though I'm not a big fan of comedy queens as live acts.

Ash885 · 23-03-2016 11:08PM

#MichelleDontGoThere

I heard Violet and Pandora were a big disappointment in the meet and greets before the show. Could have done without them tbh, but I did double over laughing when Pandora couldn't find the microphone for Spice Girls!

billion dollar baby · 23-03-2016 11:17PM

I thought Pandora was OK in a campy comedy way. Her Snatch Game was ok too.

Katya doing Titanic was hilarious. I was disappointed with the lack of Violet. She was barely there and her solo was a bit.......meh. She should have been higher in the air to add a bit of excitement maybe.

Sharon was very good. Her alien thing was freaky as. And her Snatch Game was hysterical.

All in all I really enjoyed it. Hopefully if they come back next year we have some new queens. Is have liked Alaska or Bianca to have been there

Tony91 · 23-03-2016 11:38PM

Sharon killed it for me. Her David Bowie tribute and the everything was just brilliant. I was disappointed with Violet too, there wasn't really any need for her in it tbh. Like billion dollar baby said her performance was a bit....meh. All in all I really enjoyed the show tho.

IsMiseMyself · 29-03-2016 08:09PM

Untucked is must-watch viewing this season. With the exception of Derrick, all the queens are so charismatic and have so much personality. (Even Betty slightly grew on me this episode.)

Really enjoying this season.

Hunchback · 01-04-2016 10:59PM

i keep ruwatching the accapella challenge from last week - it gives me SO much life.

i have to say - acid berry is my favourite. even if she wasn't as fierce as she is every episode, in this challenge alone her look and her face is just so amazingly fierce that i just can't even. it's gunna be enough for me until AS2!

although prolly my favourite drag race moment of the last few years was in last weeks episode when team nyc is trying to get their 'street meats' piece together - the interactions between them and les chicken wings who try to distract them is just so, sooo good.

i feel sorry for people who don't have this program in their lives, i really do. it's one of those times when you thank the lord you're not a breeder (just kidding, of course lol!)

billion dollar baby · 08-04-2016 09:55AM

Gagged at this weeks elimination. Was not expecting that to come so soon. Not that she didn't deserve to be in the bottom after that awful Snatch Game. I don't get how you can't have Snatch game nailed as this point. This is season 8! You know this challenge is coming.

Kim Chi was so underrated this week. I was howling with laughter. Definitely should have won.

I think Michelle said it about Bob that she is starting to come across as a bit 'showboaty' and I have to agree. It seems like I hear her voice all the time regardless of the situation. She's still a front runner though. I think Thorgy is my favourite. I hope she gets a win soon

Rick_ · 08-04-2016 02:19PM

Michelle said at one of the BOTS venues that the queens you think would go far go home early and the queens you think should go home early end up making it really far. So, it's hard to know who will be Top 3 at this point. Bob seems likely, but will the showboating end up coming back to bit him in the ass and he gets surprisingly eliminated in a few weeks time, or will he be this seasons Detox, making it to Top 4 and just missing out.

Who could the Top 3 realistically be, at this point?

Thorgy - Practically a cert
Derrick - Not a chance
Kim Chi - Quite Possible
Chi Chi - Quite Possible
Bob TDQ - Seems to be getting a winners edit so far
Robbie Turnter - Possible
Naomi - Not a chance

It's a tough season to call it so far, anyone could make it apart from Naomi and Derrick who I see as likely to go in the next 2 episodes. If I had to pick who I think will be Top 3 now, I'd say Bob, Thorgy and Kim.

Hunchback · 08-04-2016 02:28PM

I think Chi Chi might sneak into the top three and either of Bob or Thorgy will be knocked out before they make it to the final although I really do hope that this does not happen.

My hopes are for a Bob/Thorgy/Kim final, but from the T that Visage is spilling, this is something that I should not hold my breath for.

Why is she spilling this T by the way? I would have thought that Ru would have been a bit pissed off about this. I mean, unless it is a red-herring (which would also seem to be kind of pointless) I just don't understand how it is cool for her to do this seeing as it kind of gives the game away to an extent and when the favourites go home early it won't have the same impact because people will be like 'well, we all knew that this was going to happen'?

I wonder if there is any part of Michelle that is trying to soften the eventual blow when the favourites leave early. Like, maybe she is in effect mentally preparing us for this eventuality.

Rick_ · 08-04-2016 04:43PM

Also at the BOTS show, people were shouting out the names of their favs (Bob and Thorgy mostly) and Michelle said that people should show Chi Chi some love too. Is that a hint or is she just a fan of Chi Chi's and wants her to have more fans? Who knows...

I'm not sure why she's spilling this T everywhere either, but I agree, I can't see Ru being happy if it is turning out to be true and giving big hints away as to the possible top queens of the season.

Ash885 · 08-04-2016 07:28PM

I don't want to ruin it if the rumours are true, but a lot of people have made assumptions on queens placements based on their booking fee for the summer and you'll be surprised by some of them! ^^'

Needless to say I hope Thorgy makes top 3/wins it. Bob is showboating and we'll see a bottom 3/lip sync from him soon I'd say to make the story come full circle.

Rick_ · 11-04-2016 02:19PM

The Ru-Up for last weeks episode

Reiketsu · 16-04-2016 03:09AM

I have a horrible feeling that Thorgy will be going next or the following week due to this sudden edit they have given her. She speaks her mind and means what she says but holy crap are they making it worse than it actually is. A few queens defended her in Chicago saying she wasn't the only person to come for Chi Chi but she's taking the brunt of the backlash. Her edit in the preview for Monday suggests she either kills it or goes home.

Her usual viewing party in Brooklyn doesn't seem to be happening this coming week either. She said last week she might not be around to do it but I wonder.

. If she goes I'll have a hard time even caring who wins. I'm still gutted about Acid and I don't feel that the others, whilst talented, have *it*. I can see the top being Bob, Kim Chi and Naomi.

I was at BOTS in Manchester and Michelle said the same there, with added booing for Acid.

I completely agree with the above, except I believe that either of Bob or Kim would be worthy winners.

Do I want to see a late challenge for the title from Naomi? Not really. She's grand and had a good look last week, but she does not have the charisma.

Would 3 others be interested in a table of four? The single tickets have sold out but it could be great. Post here if you are up for it! Maybe we could even have 2 Boards tables?

That would be some unreal craic! I live on the far side of the country but I would still definitely drive up if I was not so scuppered with money/work at the moment. I hate making excuses and I hope at least one table can materialise from Boards! We know our s**t here and could really take this thing home

She is now doing a viewing party on Monday, according to her housemate on Instagram. Makes me feel slightly better but she could just be taking it in her stride...we shall see.

. Hmm I suppose I would be okay about Bob or Kim winning but both of them lack something - Bob's make up skills are not great although I suppose they could improve and Kim can't dance. I like a well rounded queen. I'd rather Kim out of the two of them. My favourites always go too soon :pac:

Latest episode......................

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Reiketsu · 19-04-2016 03:40PM

Ugh I know

. But I seen it coming with her edit going all crappy. They were originally meant to be judged individually but that would have involved putting Kim in the bottom and producers didn't want that so it was changed to groups at the last minute and the lip sync was changed to a more Chi Chi friendly number. So she was the sacrificial lamb for the sake of a storyline. Which makes me mad but what can you do? In Untucked it definitely wasn't her finest hour as she was being sarcastic and not cute but even with her obvious flaws her good points still outweigh her bad. Her grandmother said to her before she died that she was a "jack of all trades and a master of none" and that really stuck in my throat as after so many highs and no wins that was probably how she felt. Which made her departure more depressing to me. The lipsync was everything though. They both killed it but Chi Chi just edged her out. The beads going everywhere was just everything and Thorgy threw her chance to stop Chi Chi from landing on her hoop but I feel she went in defeated to begin with. She's a class act and I am so sad to see her go.
