Does anyone else watch this? Please let there be someone else who watches this! I absolutely love it!

brokenice · 27-03-2013 12:06pm

Shantay...you stay!

Hunchback · 27-03-2013 7:15pm

High-Larious program

Started watching it last season (where Sharin Needles won). I do NOT miss an episode. This year I like Alaska, Detox and Jinx Monsoon. Last year Sharin was my favourite , but only just.... I have big love for Latrice Royale and, of course, Willam!

Rick_ · 27-03-2013 8:05pm

Willam is performing in Belfast in April and I'll be going to see her! Can't wait. I first saw Season 4 and was instantly hooked. After 4 ended I found 1, 2 and 3 online and watched them all and haven't missed an episode yet. There was no new episode this week so will have to wait until next Tuesday before I can watch the next episode.

I think Detox, Alaska and Jinx will be the top 3 this season but wouldn't count Roxxxy or Alissa out just yet. I don't think Coco will last much longer. I loved Sharon and Chad from Season 4 and actually wanted Chad to win. At least Chad won All Stars!

Have you seen Willam's latest music video? It's class!

Yeah, saw that video

Who is 'the bottom' guy in it? Prolly one of the most goddamn beautiful guys I have ever set eyes on in my life

Rick_ · 27-03-2013 10:50pm

There are two bottom guys in it. The one they are playing Jenga off and the other who is in the bed and they follow him on the street. The one they follow is absolutely stunning. He even appeared in a recent episode of Drag Race as one of the pit crew models (number 17). Absolutely stunning. He has appeared in a few of Willam's other music videos as well, maybe he's just a friend or maybe Willam or on of his friends boyfriends? Lucky so and so!

Hunchback · 27-03-2013 11:16pm

Yeah, the dude in the bed. So beautiful it hurts.

I'm actually rewatching series 4 now lol

akaspike · 28-03-2013 12:20am

I haven't been watching the show, but check out Lady Bunny on youtube. Seen her in San Fran the other year and it was great. Also check out the podcast Feast of Fun as those guys are always talking about drag acts and overall the shows are pretty enjoyable.

Hunchback · 28-03-2013 1:40am

Ladybunny warms up the crowd for Rupauls drag race http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl3ZnADOqi8

StanMcConnell · 01-04-2013 12:45am

Got into this show so much in the last two months.

Did anyone else go see Manila Luzon in Dragon yesterday?

Hunchback · 01-04-2013 11:02pm

Apparently the next episode of the show will feature a past contestant come back and be given another chance to take the title.

It's gotta be Willam, right?

Rick_ · 02-04-2013 9:19pm

Where did you hear that? I wonder if it'll be Shangela?!

Have you seen this weeks? What did you think of it?

Personally I was glad to see

Alyssa Edwards

go. I would have liked to see her or

Coco Montrese

go.

The top 5 are exactly who I thought they'd be.

cartell_best · 03-04-2013 1:55am

Ahit sorry, I can't remember. It was obviously wrong anyway (unless they bring someone in for next weeks episode).

Yes, this weeks episode was so funny
My favourite are
1 alaska
2 detox and jinx monsoon in joint second
3 roxy whatchyamacallher
4 coco montriese

i'd say jinx might take it, unless she has to lipsynch for her life
I like alaska the most though, she makes me laugh

detox's body is just mental what with the pec implants, the ass implants , the shoulder implants, and thats not even to mention her face :eek:

StanMcConnell · 04-04-2013 5:44am

Next week is the challenge where they turn someone into a drag queen. Typically at that stage, they invite back one of the eliminated queens from that season (who then tends to get reeliminated straight away). I don't know if it's happening this season.

Happy with the top 5. Would personally love to see Roxy go next. There's a huge gulf in talent between the pageant queens (Roxxy, Alyssa, Coco) and the 'Comedy' queens (Detox, Alaska, Jinkx ). Of the pageant girls, I actually think Coco is the best but clearly the 'comedy' girls will be the top 3.

Intouch9 · 04-04-2013 11:44am

My all time favourite show - have been watching it since season 1!
Personally, would like to see Coco go next week.

Rick_ · 04-04-2013 7:46pm

Me too, since the 2nd episode I have been sick of hearing about Alyssa and Coco's rift. I've been praying that one of them would be sent home so I wouldn't have to hear about it any more. At least now with Alyssa gone we can see just how good Coco is as for the last while all she ever seemed to do was argue with Alyssa and then talk about her to camera later. Now she's not there, how will she perform solo?

I have a soft spot for Jinx, I hope she at least makes top 3. I think top 3 will be Detox, Alaska and Jinx. Coco will go next and then Roxxxy, unless another queen does come back next week, in which case it will be them, then Coco and then Roxxxy!

Rick_ · 10-04-2013 10:20am

Have seen this weeks but haven't been able to find Untucked uploaded anywhere yet.

What's annoying about online uploads is that some people rip them from TV, whilst others rip them from iTunes. The iTunes ones are unbleeped and better quality, the TV ones are sometimes awful and always bleeped. Argh!

I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting the lip sync to go how it did. I thought the queen that stayed was the one that should have went, based solely on the lip sync and nothing else. Maybe Ru takes other things into consideration too?

Also, I didn't know Detox was in an accident and had major facial surgery. I thought she looked like that because of all the plastic surgery she has had on her body over the years. Maybe she started getting it because of the accident, I dunno. One things for sure, you'd never tell, especially in the Chick-Fil-A music video done by her, Willam and Vicky, she looks stunning and you would think she was genuinely female.

Only 4 queens left. It's ending soon.

I have a feeling Vicky Vox will be in Season 6.

brokenice · 10-04-2013 5:19pm

hey paddy c....shangela's coming to The Dragon on April 20th.....girl! leave your momma at home!

Rick_ · 10-04-2013 5:29pm

Willam is going to Union Street in Belfast on April 21st!

Rick_ · 16-04-2013 11:36pm

After watching this weeks episode, all I can do is.... :eek::p:rolleyes::):mad::D:(:o:eek:

I think I felt like pulling each of these faces at one point during the episode, mostly :eek: though

Intouch9 · 17-04-2013 12:16pm

How annoying is Roxxy? OMG. Now, I know a lot of it is editing, but I was seriously on my last nerve with her.

Rick_ · 18-04-2013 10:25am

Roxxxy was very annoying, overconfident, cocky and downright rude in this weeks episode. A lot of it seems to have been in editing but she gave them plenty of material to manipulate!

I hope Jinx wins, just to piss Roxxxy off!

I sort of knew that was gonna be the top 4 from the start, possibly with Alyssa or Ivy in there too so it's gonna be hard to pick a winner from them. I'd be happy if any of them won but maybe not as much for Roxxxy now...!

Rick_ · 24-04-2013 10:20am

So, who do you want to win?

Did anyone else think Roxxxy's "apology" to Jinx on the runway was purely because Jinx had a better and more uplifting and positive speech than her?

I hope Roxxxy comes third, Alaska second and Jinx wins!

Intouch9 · 24-04-2013 10:48am

Sooo ridiculously fake. Just to try and get some positive cudos. In fairness, I don't think she stands a chance with the public vote. It's like Fifi and Sharon last year, except Sharon was well able for her. I kinda want Alaska to win now... Drag's Royal Couple sounds amazing!

Rick_ · 25-04-2013 10:55am

I can see Roxxxy winning really pissing some people off - she's a grade A bitch and has went for Jinkx a few times and is very full of herself, also the sob stories and contrived apologies show her to be fake in my opinion and will so anything to screw someone else over.

I can see Alaska winning really pissing some people off - she's Sharon's boyfriend and people will think it's biased/fixed, especially as the show has made a point of showing her to be crumbling frequently and not doing as well as the others in challenges, especially recently.

I can see Jinkx winning really pissing some people off - she has her own style, and has stuck to it, no matter what the judges have told her and her quirky ways might be seen as limited appeal to some. Some might also see her and being "too nice" or "innocent" and feel like she is always plays the victim.

It's gonna be tough, but in the end, I hope Jinkx wins. If not, then Alaska, but not Roxxxy, I've really went off her this last few weeks.

(I still can't find this weeks Untucked anywhere either!)

cx85 · 29-04-2013 10:07pm

After catching up on all the season, (the season of Fish was more season of Fishy editing) I am not so much looking forward to seeing who wins between Jinx and Alaska as much as I am looking forward to the Miss Congeniality winner. Really hoping Alyssa gets it, there was something really likable about that I could only describe as well congenial.

Rick_ · 30-04-2013 10:00pm

Having seen this weeks "recap" episode, I too hope Alyssa wins Miss Congeniality. She was so funny, had some great one liners and whether she won or not she was always entertaining to watch.

I still hope Jinkx wins, but wouldn't mind if Alaska did. Definitely don't want Roxxxy to win, and judging by some sites I have read, a lot of other people don't either!

Rick_ · 07-05-2013 7:37pm

Has anyone seen the final yet apart from me? I wanna talk about it but don't wanna say anything and spoil it!

Ash885 · 07-05-2013 7:51pm

I hate you guys. I looked up out of curiousity what this show was. I'm in love! Addicted is not the word, just finding it hard looking for good links online.

The shade flying around, amazing. Now I know where all the gifs come from! Watched the first two episodes and had to find out how it ended on wiki. Will still watch the rest in due course. Right now loving Ivvvvvvvy Wiiiiiiiiiiinters, circus attire going down a treat.

Anyone getting the feeling someone like Pete Burns would walk this show? Detox constantly reminds me of him!

cx85 · 07-05-2013 9:01pm

Yeah saw the final dont really want to spoil it for anyone so will try not to - honestly i saw the winner winning it a bit off. Detox stole the show with that whole look. Finally it just went to show how frickin edited that show is when it came out that nothing was going on between Jinx and Ivy

Intouch9 · 08-05-2013 4:24pm

Only saw it last night. Not the winner I would have picked on the back of last night but there you go!
Detox - totally stole the show - that look was ah-maz-ing.

Can't wait for the next season!

Rick_ · 08-05-2013 8:07pm

I agree, Detox's look was stunning. I actually thought based on the performances of last night alone that Alaska would have won it, but I guess RuPaul takes into consideration the whole series, every performance and challenge and also what the fans think. Every time the official page asked you to re-tweet one of 3 messages (depending on the queen) the one for Jinkx always got the most re-tweets closely followed by Alaska. Roxxxy never got that many.

Rick_ · 01-10-2013 6:53pm

Good news for anyone that has Netflix... According to RuPaul's Twitter, Drag Race will be coming very soon to UK & Ireland's Netflix. I dunno if this means Season 6 will be the first to be shown or whether they are gonna put the past seasons sometime soon or what, but finally, I shall be able to watch it without having to resort to finding streams online! Hooray!

Hopefully they put up Untucked too and the old Drag U series as well.

Rick_ · 21-11-2013 7:46pm

A quick update on the above, as of yesterday, all 5 seasons of Drag Race are on Netflix UK & Ireland in 16:9 HD (something even the Americans don't get!). No Untucked or Drag U yet, but hopefully they come in time, and season 6 appears in January shortly after the US broadcast, so it saves me having to look for torrents of it!

Rick_ · 25-02-2014 11:40am

So, anyone seen the first episode of Season 6 yet? Started last night in the States, but no sign of it yet on Netflix. Hopefully they get it up soon or I'm gonna have to start looking for streams of it again. I thought with Netflix those days were behind me!

Lou.m · 25-02-2014 12:12pm

Have they ever done drag Kings ??

I think this would be some great theme music!

Stephin Merritt the singer is openly gay.

Love, love, LOVE this show!!!!!! Both myself and my daughter have been watching the Netflix boxsets over and over in anticipation of the new season. So far haven't been able to find a full episode yet. Please if anyone finds one let me know where I can watch it.

Looks like a great mix of queens this year, my money is on Ben de la Creme.

eviltwin · 25-02-2014 10:27pm

I finally found a torrent for episode 1 and the untucked after show, its as crazy as ever. Not sure if the mods will allow me to post the site I found it here but they are available.

J_E · 26-02-2014 12:02am

Watched the new ep, interesting move with introducing the queens in stages, although it did allow me to actually pay attention to the ones there rather than being swamped with a whole group.

Adore is annoying me already...Vivacious could be interesting, but she has got to keep her hips in check on the catwalk, was a bit ott!

Rick_ · 26-02-2014 1:20am

Netflix still don't have it on yet. Argh. Eviltwin, PM me the details of the site you found Ep 1 and Untucked on. Were they censored TV broadcasts or the iTunes uncut versions? I hate watching the censored ones. All the episodes on Netflix are uncensored (apart from one, strangely).

Rick_ · 26-02-2014 10:26am

EDIT - Never mind, I found a place just before bed and decided to stay up and watch it, (and Untucked too!) and it was uncensored thankfully. At least I have somewhere to go next week if Netflix haven't got the finger out and put it on by then.

eviltwin · 26-02-2014 11:30am

So what did we think of the first lot? I already hate Gia, April is stunning, she reminds me a bit of Carmen Carrera. Hopefully the next bunch will be a bit more entertaining.

Rick_ · 26-02-2014 11:44am

I laughed at the dig at Willam from Kelly, and Willam has already posted stuff on Twitter and Instagram about being unhappy with the comment. Shade!

Can't say any of the first 7 are stand outs for me, perhaps Leganja Estranja and Ben de la Creme. I'm waiting to see how Courtney Act fairs next week.

I honestly thought Vivacious was gonna fall over on the runway, those hips were seriously wiggling! It seems to be a thing from her Ball days, so we may be seeing it every week.

Oh, and doesn't Ben looks like Michelle?! Like, *really* looks like Michelle?!?!

J_E · 26-02-2014 3:52pm

Ben is scarily like Michelle Visage, down to the mole. He must be messing, saying he can't see it. It was freakishly uncanny!

Gia and Adore are annoying me a bit...Laganja getting to that level too although it's more innocent. Gia and Adore have that awful drooooooone on their voice.

I'm not seeing any clear cut standouts just yet but there are 7 more to go!

Firstly Kelly deserved to go home. There is nothing amazing about her. She had zero wow factor compared to Sharon Neddles, Raven. She lacked a strong personality and sense of humour. Her drag sense was bland.

That episode would be like watching paint without Adore and Gia. They both are quite talented. I think Ben is too much like a carbon copy of Jinxx( They are friends and from the same city). If you watch Adores youtube which she regularly updated. She is missing videos for nearly two months, so I think she has made it quite far. Plus she is incredible funny.

Milk, Bianca and Courtney are also very strong competition. I doubt Courtney will win as she is only doing it to make herself a household name like Willam did.

My money is on Milk, Adore, Courtney and Bianca.

01-03-2014 12:46pm

Is it only online to watch guys ? thought it used to be on Living or something?

Rick_ · 01-03-2014 1:46pm

It used to be on E4, but they stopped showing it after Season 2. It is available on Netflix (season 1-5) but Season 6 which only started on Monday night isn't on yet so you'll have to search for a stream of it online somewhere. I have the first episode and also the Untucked accompanying show downloaded (and uncensored) if I was able to upload it somewhere for you you could download them, but such things are likely frowned upon by the mods on here.

andy_ajs · 02-03-2014 8:56pm

I'm obsessed with RPDR, enjoying the season so far.

Watched the first 10 minutes of the second episode and I already like Bianca Del Rio, Milk, and Ms Darienne Lake.

Favorite queen so far probably has to be Ornacia, she looks like she gives good head.

From the first episode, Laganga is sort of getting on my nerves but I have a feeling they're going to let her story develop, and allow her to 'mature'. Ben is a bit full on, like how she ran into the werk room, and the forced character, hopefully she'll reign it in a bit.. sort of doubtful though. Vi Vacious was werking the ball walk and the lip sync, I hope her own drag is better than that thing she sewed together with the crow on her arm, she looked like a cross dressing taxidermist. Kelly Mantle was the right choice to go home, but I feel if it was all the 14 queens together, she would be safe. I wanted to see her in the acting challenges. April was fishy, I liked her, but need to get to know her better before I make a full decision, but she worked well with the Duck Dynasty stuff. Gia was fishy and she'll probably p*ss people off, but I like her in a weird way. That handbag was ridiculous though, and not a ridiculous in a good way, it looks like it was trying to hide a colostomy bag. Adore was probably my favorite, she'll probably be a lot like Detox from last season, getting the talking heads and featured a lot more.

eviltwin · 03-03-2014 11:48am

The jaw droppingly gorgeous Carmen Carrera was on Ireland AM this morning, it should be on the TV3 player later today if anyone wants to see it. She was on around 10am.

Rick_ · 03-03-2014 3:07pm

Really? What was she on for I wonder...
