What. The. Fuck.

Charlie didn't even try. At least try, bitch. Now Trinity Taylor, that was some holy trinity performance.

If I were
Charlie
I would be hiding under an old wig for the next two weeks. I would be truly embarrassed to have behaved in that manner. I mean hed still would have been sent home, but that was really unprofessional.

I'd have stopped the lipsync midway and gone like

Charlie
, I'm extremely disappointed in you


I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU, WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU. HOW DARE YOU? LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS.

That was the first time that happened in nine seasons and two All-Stars seasons. No one ever dared to do that. It's unheard of. I would be ashamed of myself if I were to do that.
 
For the first few seconds, I thought she just froze or something.

But then it soon became apparent that the bitch just didn't give a single fuck anymore.

hai producers, plz stop recruiting from youtube kthx~

I thought she was just waiting to just shock us halfway through the song with something no one expected from her... And then nothing happened.

In other news, the male guest judge they had is GORGEOUS, he could get it.

Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman is his name, ooohh, daddy tbh.

And here I thought I was just thirsty, but he was fine as hell.

At least I wasn't the only one thinking he was fiiiine.


Heres the explanation for
Charlie's
lip sync on her facebook:

"Well that was an emotional rollercoaster. I couldn't dance because I had a broken rib but I still gave authentic Britney Spears circa 2007, dressed like a slut, dead behind the eyes and lip synced badly! Job done."

edit:

Agreed. Best runway song. Not feeling this seasons that much.

I didn't like the short runway. They could have edited out more of the workroom in favor of runway.

I am upset that
Charlie
even tried to get on the show knowing the likelihood of having to do a lip sync and knowing she wouldn't survive it. If I were Ru I'd start to require showing off dance moves in the submission tapes.

The fact that she didn't even try tho

When a middle-aged gospel singer with ovarian cancer can get down, a fucking PROFESSIONAL DRAG QUEEN has negative infinity excuses

a flop of a season. a flop of a network.

I never thought I'd say this, but save us Logo
 
Dammit why is this not up on Amazon yet. :mad:

Edit: Finally saw it.

What. The. Hell. I was always team Charli, but she absolutely did not try with that lip sync. Was never feeling Trinity, but she fucking earned her "shantay you stay" after her performance. I can't even fathom why Charli "performed" the way she did. Sure, she was wearing crazy high heels, but she could have kicked those off and gotten on with actually serving the song. Oh well.

Well that was one of the worst episodes ever. All over the place, train wreck city for the challenge and that lip sync was an embarrassment. Who the hell goes on a show like Drag Race and doesn't know how to actually do the biggest thing drag queens are known for?? Just...what.

Also, that runway was given no justice. Such a shit theme and was way too rushed. I like seeing more of the dressroom but you could have easily pushed some of the filler crap out. Terrible.

And seriously, FIRE YOUR FUCKING LIGHTING CREW! The pink/purple drana out everything on the runway. I'm a straight male who has no fashion taste and even I know that's a big fuck up.

Don't really get how this is the dumpster fire of a season they choose to move onto a major cable network with. I'm 'bout to quit watching entirely.
 
yeah idk what is going on with this season

1) no drag ru in ep 1, no elimination
2) the cheerleading challenge looked horrible and messy and literally nobody came out of it looking good
3) the challenge in ep 3 was literally tragic, nobody was good and i believe it had the lowest ratio of toots to boots ever
4) the runway lighting is so bad even raja called it out, it just drowns everyone in purple so you can't see shit
5) this challenge just recycled the qnn one from season 3, SASHA AND SHEA EVEN LITERALLY JUST DID WHAT RAJA AND DELTA DID, and then won
6) what the fuck was that lipsync, that was shameful and unprofessional and hard to watch... she genuinely thought she was above that holy shit
7) jaymes mansfield

oh i forgot
8) ru's looks are messy af. what happened to mathu? i didn't like his attitude but he was good to ru

Full Runway is up- http://www.logotv.com/video-clips/vodgkq/rupauls-drag-race-runway-looks-good-morning-bitches

They really just need to go to 90 minute shows until they're down to a manageable number of contestants. The non-elim first ep was a great idea, but they're still totally not able to fit enough into the show right now. Having a 90-minute ep + 30m UT would let them increase the budget (due to getting paid for more airtime, and you can totally do a 60-m edit for international markets.
 
The editing is all over the place.

Like, did we even get to hear what Valentina's disorder is? Are they just going to drop that plot thread because Eureka made a snarky comment?

I know HIV/AIDS was a catastrophic horror, but that workroom PSA was incredibly awkward.

And 90 minutes won't change the fact that Shea is literally the only queen with confessionals worth listening to.

This was more like euthenasia
Dark, I love it.

Hmm yes, he was delicious.

Also I rather enjoy Untucked because you see at least one gorgeous member of the crew backstage every time. The guy who escorted Charlie away from the stage was yum yum yum.

If I ever visited the set i'd be backstage all the time.

I had to stop it right there and compose myself.

Watch UnReal for more of the hot guest judge.

Also Trinity Taylor destroyed wigs. What kind of professionalism.

I couldn't with Aja looking like the female gremlin. Literally laughed every time she was on screen. Especially during untucked.

So no one is doubting that valentina is going to win at this point right

She has the best looks, but she doesn't have the strongest personality of the group. I'm looking forward to snatch game and a live comedy challenge to see who has the whole package.

After watching Untucked and seeing this week's Runway, I really hope Nina slims down the padding. It's both breaking the illusion because and making it impossible for her to sit down!

TRI-NI-TY

Now THAT was a lip-sync.

EDIT: This was actually my favorite episode of the season so far. I was just starting to get tired of the incredibly fake, put on "We're SISTERS!!!!" bullshit. It's so false. These girls may respect each other, but they're still dramatic performers stuck together and under a shit ton of pressure. There was real drama in the work room and, for the first time in a long time, they showed it.
