RuPaul's Drag Race

Indeed there have been trans women who have been competitors. Other queens manipulate their own bodies via padding, tape and some have used other cosmetic proceedures in order to further their careers.

Being trans and doing drag are not fundamentally the same thing, although for some they do overlap.

Really the purpose of this thread is to discuss the show, for fans of the show.

Please don't drag it off topic soapboxing about trans people. This is the final warning on this matter.

Who is the Miss Congeniality for you lot this year?

Reiketsu · 31-05-2018 12:08am

Personally I'd go for Blair or Monique but I can see it going to Miz Cracker.

baby and crumble · 31-05-2018 9:14am

Ah but is it actually Miss Congeniality or is it fan favourite?

J_E · 31-05-2018 1:30pm

Kind of has to be Miss Vanjie, no?

If it's popularity, maybe yeah. Someone who was only there 1 episode really shouldn't be Miss Congeniality in fairness.

La_Gordy · 31-05-2018 6:28pm

I'd go wi Monique or Miz Cracker. Not a massive fan of either but trying to predict.

Also, least any of the fans here not be aware - nae episode this week.

Kameron. She's not my favourite queen so I don't want her to win but I think she's shown herself to be a decent person.

Rick_ · 31-05-2018 8:22pm

Strong rumours flying around that Miss Vanjie is a returning queen for Season 11. It's currently filming and she has been very quiet of late online and no gigs currenly, prompting this speculation. Not totally unheard of given how succesful she became after her exit, and it isn't as if a 1st out has not been brought back the following season before.

No new episode on Netflix today? Or when do they usually release?

A new episode didn't air; it'll be back next week.

Rick_ · 01-06-2018 6:51pm

No new episode this week. What to watch tonight instead? I’m lost!

baby and crumble · 02-06-2018 9:15am

If you haven’t been watching them, and if you like Mz Cracker check out her series “review with a Jew” on YouTube. Very funny. She’s been reviewing RuPaul for a while but obviously for her season she goes into a little bit of extra background info about editing, extra bits of conversations, etc.

The Vixen

Monet X Change, from what we saw, she really boosted morale in the work room.

02-06-2018 5:04pm

I really want Monique or Blair or Cracker to get MC. Really don't want Vanjie to get it considering she was only there a hot minute.

Yeah, I've already seen those and subscribed! Some brilliantly funny stuff from Cracker in those vids. Her doing Cher still makes me laugh just thinking about it. Not so much the impression but how much she makes herself laugh doing it!

La_Gordy · 12-06-2018 3:34pm

Sorry to see Miz Cracker go, I thought she was a great queen.

Rick_ · 26-06-2018 8:39pm

Surprised there was no Miss Congeniality given at the reunion. Are they keeping it for the finale or after last years antics have they done away with it completely? I don't even think the official Twitter / Instagram feeds for the show even ran a vote for MC this year... did they?

There was an online vote. Spotted it through Blair St. Clair's social media.

Details regarding the Miss Congeniality situation this season without spoiling the result:

There was a fan vote, but it was plagued by bots. Miss Congeniality will be awarded at the finale.

Rick_ · 20-07-2018 5:20pm

Anyone been following the supposed All Stars 4 cast rumours?

Bazinga_N · 20-07-2018 7:01pm

I've been reading a bit and not sure how I feel tbh.. Although it was a week or two ago since I was reading up on it!

That said, I'm very excited to see

Manilla and Latrice come back - I really think they deserve another chance AND also Naomi Smalls

. Like I said though, it's been a week or two since I was reading the rumours so I might have old T

Would love to see

Valentina

come back even just for the drama haha

Rick_ · 21-07-2018 6:16pm

Some unsettling news from Reddit (if it is indeed true). Someone posted that a Ru girl had invited them back to an afterparty that was essentially their house and the Ru girl raped them. Posting the story has prompted two other people to say they have had similar experiences with Ru girls and one of them says it was with a S10 Ru girl and they are all supporting each other online and being encouraged to report the incident to the police. Scary if true. No names have been mentioned though, so not sure if it is one queen that has done it several times or if it is a number of queens from the show.

brendanwalsh · 21-07-2018 8:37pm

Can you post /pm the link to the thread
Thanks

Did any more details emerge?

Nothing that I have heard. I hope it's just someone making crap up for attention than it being true.

BBC3 ordered UK version

Rick_ · 06-12-2018 7:52pm

So we have the Christmas Special tomorrow (Saturday for us), immediately followed by All Stars 4, Season 11 next year and Drag Race UK next summer and maybe All Stars 5 and another Christmas Special as well at the end of next year. We are truly being spoiled with drag content.

Gay Christmas is truly here!

Rick_ · 08-12-2018 12:03pm

Has anyone watched the holiday special yet? I have it downloaded but am not watching until tonight with a bottle of vino. No spoilers!

I read a post on Reddit alright that said that it was on Netflix (UK) but that you need to enter the full name for it to appear. I haven't verified this myself as I watched it from elsewhere

This works, just watched it

Rick_ · 08-12-2018 11:19pm

It was one big cringy mess. Though the song performed by Ru on the main stage (the first one) was actually quite catchy so might download it. The rest of the show I could leave. Poor Sonique. Probably thought this was going to be her moment to get back in the spotlight and then she got... this. And that ending.... gurl.

Ugh I’m sorry I looked it up it was kinda painful. Just a 40 min ad for Ru’s Christmas album.

eviltwin · 09-12-2018 7:05pm

It wasn't great was it? I have to say though, when Ru came out in that purple dress she looked incredible.

Rick_ · 09-12-2018 7:27pm

Ru looked good in this episode. Delta and Raven are getting better, but there's still something off about her mug and wigs. They have a way to go before they match Mathu's high standards.

Rick_ · 16-12-2018 6:46pm

So, have we seen All Stars 4 episode 1 yet? What do we think?

Hrududu · 16-12-2018 6:50pm

Jury's still out for me. Still think it's too soon after All Stars 3. And as much as I like Monet I am done with the sponges. I hope she isn't going to beat this brown cow to death.

Delighted to see Latrice and Manila again though.

baby and crumble · 17-12-2018 12:43pm

I thought the holiday special was fun. If you didn't expect an actual episode of Drag Race (which I didn't tbh) then it's a bit fun and campy. I thought the musical numbers were fun.

RE: AS4. I was glad with who got sent home, she was always going to be the weakest in that line-up.

I'd forgotten how much I love to hate Gia. :pac:

I felt AWFUL for

Farrah, I have friends who do burlesque and that's every performers nightmare. But it's why you learn floorwork, when you fall you make it into something, and try not to let it get to you.

My money is on Monique, Latrice or Trinity. I bloody love Trinity.

haro124 · 23-12-2018 11:07pm

Episode 3 was accidentally leaked! Not a shock who went home

what the hell! · 23-12-2018 11:55pm

Didn’t enjoy the new version of Snatch- hope it was just a once off! I did enjoy Gus Kenworthy though!!

Rick_ · 25-12-2018 5:54pm

I haven't seen Episode 3 but Gus Kenworthy....

<Insert GIF of Jinkx grinding on a couch whilst orgasming violently that I can't find online for some reason>

Rick_ · 26-12-2018 12:41am

OK, I've now seen episode 3. Jesus, Gus Kenworthy is a very beautiful man. He looks identical to the guy in that Australian pro-marriage equality ad. I have a new crush.

But, as far as episode 3 is concerned...

Jesus, Gia, what the hell were you doing? That was one literal trainwreck of a performance. I'm kinda glad you went home but also disappointed Manila didn't take the opportunity to be the real controversial queen and send the strong competition home. The preview for Episode 4 looks like a similar situation may arise again but the roles reversed. Will be interesting to seewho survives that...

Hunchback · 02-01-2019 4:34pm

Lads, I have to admit - it is getting very difficult to see beyond Valentina as the winner.

I mean, Trinity is good value, and to a slightly lesser extent Manila is too, but Valentina is really showing that she is the star she always said she was. I mean, the way she has done her own personal, separate catwalk entrance at the beginning of each episode is so so extra, but it is really funny, she oozes charisma from every pore and she is always as stylish as ****.

And Gus Kenworthy - well, looking that good should be a crime because it is literally painful how hot he is.

Ash885 · 02-01-2019 5:10pm

It's between Valentina and Trinity for me - never have I ever swapped my opinion on someone so fast before but Val is killing it, mainly because she's so extra, and blatantly extra. It's golden.

I'm so disappointed in Latrice and Manilia to be honest, like it all seems very lackluster from them - could have done with two other queens who've yet to had a chance. Or give Jasmine another week and have no eliminations first week, Idk.

The Gia debacle on social media this week is a bit of a reach - I'm not sure how so many queens can go on a platform Ru built from the basement up and say things like "He didn't speak to me, or say how proud he is of me" etc. etc. Girl if I was making a full time living off of a spot he gave me in the first place, I'd be kissing his padding.

baby and crumble · 02-01-2019 6:30pm

Gia has ALWAYS gotten on my nerves. This year was no different. Her sh*t stirring with Farrah was SO blatant it was actually amusing.

I agree re: Manilla & Latrice. I actually think it was a big BIG risk for them to go on All-Stars, as they've really got nothing to prove but quite a lot to loose. I did think Manillas lip-sync last week was amazing though. That start was incredible. She won the lipsync as soon as she went to the back of the stage and swooned!

I've really turned around with Valentina, she has a twinkle in her eye that lets you know she actually doesn't take herself too seriously anymore - and I like that.

Hrududu · 02-01-2019 6:30pm

Valentina is acting like a character in a telenovela and I am here for it!

03-01-2019 11:12pm

I feel the difference between s9 Valentina and AS4 Valentina is it almost feels like she's in on the joke now, if that makes sense? Like I feel like she thought she was her character in s9 but now that she knows she's portraying a telenovela-style persona she can amp it up more and we're all finding it better?

gregsanchez · 11-01-2019 3:03pm

Hey guys, new user here.

Just wanna say that this is definitely between Trinity and Valentina.

The reason Valentina might win over Trinity is her new found mainstream exposure, being cast in Rent live and all.

So far the season has been quite boring though. Hopefully the twist tomorrow will actually be good.

Do you guys think RPDR is losing its charm? Specially for those watching since season 2?
