RuPaul's Drag Race Season 11 — Page 4

Yes, let's get rid of (in this order):
Silky (obnoxious and one note. Don't understand how she's lasted this long)
Ra’jah (mediocre looks and a miserable, defensive personality)
Sugah (same, same, same, week after week, almost as badly as Ariel)
Nina (seen her style a thousand times, done better by a thousand other girls)
Yvie (miserable and angry. She's creative, but you can't have that hard of a bitch for a winner.)
Vangie (Her looks are lame. The only reason she should stay this long is that she truly has star quality, no matter what she wears. Possible top three for that reason)

Top three should be:
Brook Lynn (consistently polished, professional, and talented, though not as interesting and creative as I'd like)
Plastique (gorgeous, polished, great looks and we know she can bring it performance-wise, though she doesn't always)
A'Keria (consistently polished looks. A pageant girl. But that's a seriously big part of the drag community. It's not all Yvies and Sharon Needles. If they're going to throw the pageant community a bone, this is a good one)

It's a f'ing reality competition for God's sake-- what's wrong with me rooting for the cute boy?

There's a reason they do their confessionals out of drag-- it's the boy underneath that makes the magic. That's one reason why Yvie is so damn interesting to me, and why I couldn't be bothered with Scarlett-- those guys out of drag either popped or they didn't.

My sister and I were LIVING for this week's Untucked. It was probably the most entertaining one since season six with so many two sided fights galore.

Plus I'm very happy for Plastique Tiara and Brooke Lynn Hytes this week.

A) If the Hoedown was gonna be a factor in the judging (putting Ra'Jah in the bottom again), it sure would have been nice to see the performance a little clearer. The judging feels like it's getting more and more random-- finding any excuse to arrive at foregone conclusions about who's in the bottom or the top.

B) I'm loathe to admit it, but this week I frankly thought Silky's runway look was terrific, and a good deal better than Brook Lynn, who can obviously sew but barely bothered to use the unconventional materials.

C) Vanjie, step up your damn game, girl! You should have been in the bottom in any honest assessment of your look. And your crazy performance in Untucked was unhinged and completely mis-directed at Yvie when she was already getting beaten up by Silky.

D) I'm still Team Yvie for top 3. She does the work and turns it out in performance and on the runway. She's like the kid in the cafeteria nobody wants to sit next to, but refuses to be cowed by that. Hang on Yvie, your time is coming!

E) Next week is Snatch Game (at last!!) After all these scripted and choreo-ed challenges, I am so ready for the queens to just open their mouths and improvise! This will really separate the stars from the also-rans.

Vanjie's having some serious Rage Management issues -- she goes from zero to maniac in nothing flat. I'm starting to hope she gets sashayed next.

Kad said: "ArtMan said: "Scarlett does have great hair. Do they always have to wear a wig for the runway or can somebody like Scarlett, who has long hair, put her own hair in a style?"

I don't think it would be gauche to do so, but I would think it's a lot more time consuming to style than putting on a wig."

Thanks Kad, for the answer. I asked a queen friend of mine that told me there was a contestant earlier in the run (can't remember the name) who always went out bald on the runway. I think she said it was like Season 3. I wonder if that is currently allowed, as since I been watching, Ru has scolded them for yanking off their wigs.

I love Yvie and I agree she’s just truth-telling. But man - she’s being kind of a c*nt about it. Like, yes these girls need to hear the straight tea from their sisters; but if they’re not ready to receive it, you don’t just throw it directly in their face.

Brooke and Yvie for the top 3. Third spot is a toss-up at this point. So glad Ra’jah is finally gone. What a nasty personality. Those editors went wild with that villain edit. Just a shame she gave them so much material to do it.

So glad that Ra'jah left. What a nasty piece of work. She thinks she is confident, but in reality she is insecure and jealous. What's up with Plastique not telling Ra'jah off? Plastique is obviously no angel. (She got caught talking smack about those wigs and taking Ra'jah's material). If Ra'jah had said to me, I don't like that you had three encouraging moments this week. I would have told her, Tough Titty. I can't help it if the producers love me and hate you. Also, Silky tells Ru that Yvie should go home, then gets upset that Yvie returns the favor. She's delusional, but she does make me laugh. I'm rooting for Yvie for the win. But agree, she needs to keep her opinions to herself. Anybody having the newest Drag Race tour coming to their city? It is coming to my city in early November to a 1900 seat venue. It is not selling at all. The last tour to come to Jacksonville was a Christmas show a couple of years ago. It finally sold after dropping ticket prices and it was in a 600 seat venue. I had a great time for $20.

I'm dying to know who everyone does for Snatch Game. It's kind of exciting, in a way, that we have no clear front-runner like the Bob/Bianca seasons.

I seem to remember Manila Luzon saying to someone during the last All-Stars, "You didn't come prepared for Snatch Game?"

Silky's abilities are undeniable, but even more undeniable is her utter vileness. If she wins she'll be the least popular winner ever.
