RuPaul's Drag Race

[dwanollah]

I have a Larry Tee thing that has some Ru megamixy thing on it, so really, am I the one you want to advise you on what to buy and not buy b/c of shame issues...?

[puretrash]

huntergrayson, I broke down and bought Ru's album last season after hearing so many of the songs on the show (Ru was smart to feature his music so much). I have to say it IS a catchy album, he has an ear for pop hooks. However, the Jealous Of My Boogie album version sucks, I didn't realize the one they played on the show was a remix. Tranny Chaser, Ladyboy, The Devil Made Me Do It...all great.

I thought SLM was good, but she did not deserve to win the challenge. That should have went to Alexis. Her Alicia Keys impersonation was ON POINT, and for that alone, I am starting to come around to her. Alicia Keys is straight up BUTCH, although she tries to femme it up in interviews. I LOVED how she (Alexis) was hitting on Amber Rose. Hilarious.

This year's Snatch Game was really not that great. Everyone's impersonations sucked, with the exception of Alexis. Raja was okay, but the smeyezing and Naomi stuff got old. You would think a big queen like Delta would have fierce comedy and performing skills, but she's just meh. And Mariah..WTF! That was awful.

I agree that Alexis should have won for her Alicia Keys. She took someone you wouldn't think as funny and made it hilarious. Giving the prize to Stacy was just Ru throwing her a bone for some reason. I don't know why she didn't think of doing Monique in the first place since she looks exactly like her.

Shangela really needs to get over Raja's Tyra - especially since her Tina Turner wasn't exactly all that great.

Mariah has been boring for a while now. It was time for her to go. My vote is for Carmen to go next, since I don't find her all that exciting either. I suspect that Yara Sofia might be in trouble, which is too bad because I think she can be funny if she can just get past the accent (and I laughed at her Amy Winehouse sticking gum in her beehive).

Shangela won't stop whining about Manila's "offensive" entertainment reporter skit from last week, so I wasn't surprised that she wouldn't shut up about "Tyra in a t-shirt", either. And yeah, her Tina was boring. I loved Manila's crack that she looked more like Rum Tum Tugger from Cats than Tina.

Except for Alexis' Alicia Keys, last year's Snatch Game was better (Pandora's Carol Channing!). Why was Mariah's Joan Crawford makeup such a mess?

[huntergrayson]

I am curious as to whose side of the backstory behind the Raja and Shangela falling-out chronicled in Untucked is more factually accurate.

[LurkerNan]

Shangela is such a bitch, and an entitled one too. She thinks just 'cause Mama Ru loves her that she's the girl they all gotta beat. But she has so little experience that the older queens just sneer at her shit. (This exact dynamic is being duplicated in a million office places across America, BTW.)

Stacy having sex with straight guys, that right there should tell you that she's got little or nothing down there to confuse them. I'm thinking hermophrodite, and I can't be the only one thinking that about Miss Stacy.

I might see Raja as being more than Sutan in a dress if I hadn't seen him year after year doing makeup on ANTM. But I mentally superimpose his makeup-less face over Raja's every time he struts the catwalk, and a boy in a dress is all I see. It would help if he got rid of the ever present 5 o'clock shadow.

I wonder if Tyra will see this and laugh, or reject him from her ANTM set? It all depends on whether she will allow anyone to make fun of her except her.

[kostgard]

Totally a guess, but I would put my money on Raja. That corn thing totally looked like something she would make, and I could totally see Shangela returning stuff to someone in a grocery bag and thinking that was fine as long and she returned it all and Raja getting pissed at that.

I don't see the 5 o'clock shadow on Raja (Shangela is another story, her beard is very distracting), but I do think Raja would have more of a transformation if she padded. Hips, ass, boobs, something...but apparently, she's not "that kind of queen". I'm surprised she even tucks. I still like Raja, but I think padding would really take her look over the top.

I believe Sutan/Raja hasn't been on the last few seasons of ANTM. Which, given his/her personal knowledge of Tyra, the impression could've been better. I mean, my friends and I do a better job of making fun of her insanity. At the very least, she should've broken out the "I've never in my life yelled at a girl like this!" rant.

It's possible that Stacy was just giving those boys some hand/mouth action, so they had no clue that she was packing a schlong. There is something weird going on though -- dunno if he was born a hermaphrodite (which, isn't the typical thing to for doctors to render hermaphrodites female?) or just has excess estrogen.

[LurkerNan]

I think the many folds of fat might obscure whatever he's got down there, if there was any clothing-less activity. ( And... Ew.) And you're right about probable types of action involved. (Must keep the verbage as obscure as possible, posting from work).

I'm willing to bet that I'm sporting less estrogen than Miss Stacy, so you're right on all three counts. I'll be interested to watch this week's episode to see if we can gather more clues on this subject.
