I can not make this chat work properly. I think I am giving up for tonight.
Elimination Lunch with Jinkx and Roxxxy

I haven't had a chance to view the elimination "Lunch with Jinkx and RoXy"...When I saw Roxxy lashing out at everyone in the workroom, I was ready to view her actions in a different light....I saw pure panic, fear and stress....and I while I did't condone her behavior, I could at least understand the source of it.

But her "last-minute-in-front-of the-judges" apology to Jinkx came across as self serving, egocentric face-saving.

The public's reactive to Roxxy as been vicious...and beyond these comments, I won't heap abuse upon her head....but were I to be given free tickets to see her perform live, I'd decline.

So, Willam was invited to be on RPDR All-Stars. He even got a confirmation email saying, "Congratulations, you've made the cut..." So, he bought clothes, cancelled three weeks worth of gigs and packed. 40 hours before he was supposed to show up, he got a call that he would no longer be needed because they didn't feel like he'd "fit" with the other contestants. So, which one said they wouldn't work with him?

He didn't take it lying down. Sharon, Alaska and Raja helped.

So I watched Season 5's Snatch Game and you've got a room of gay men and only ONE of them knew what the f*ck Grey Gardens was?

For shame.

I call bull. I believe some of them didn't know, but I would bet more did. I think it was all editing.

I've always had my doubts about how pervasive the whole GREY GARDENS thing really is anyway.

But in gay/drag culture? Surely Alaska, Detox and Ivy knew. It's the pageant girls that seem to need to be completely naked to count to 21. And only if they're untucked.

I think I've watched Willam's new video a hundred times by now. I'm really curious if there's going to be any backlash from Ru against him, Raja or Sharon for doing that.

I get the feeling there are a lot of past winners and participants who are not happy with production people and how things have gone down. Sharon has said some very shady stuff about RuPaul and been tagged as ungrateful. And Alaska is in RuPaulogize before anyone has been crowned. They said, at least last year, they film all three finalists winning and only Ru knows who will air as the winner. He could get pissed and ignore Alaska now. I am hoping they figure out a way to do it live, but I doubt it. There was some Q&A where someone asked Jinkx if they had filmed the finale and she was contractually obligated to ignore the question and not give a peep. In other words, yes, it has all been filmed.

I am very torn. I am Team Jalaska. Either would be okay with me at this point. I was all about Jinkx, but Alaska has given 100% this past two episodes and Jinkx looked a hot damn mess on the runway.

I mean don't get me wrong, I loved Sharon's Rupaul in that video but it DOES seem like something only people who had major issues with the show would participate in and not be afraid to never have any association with it again.

"But in gay/drag culture? Surely Alaska, Detox and Ivy knew. It's the pageant girls that seem to need to be completely naked to count to 21. And only if they're untucked."

I don't remember who knew and who didn't, but most of them didn't know who Little Edie Beale was. I've always thought that the film's influence was being severely overstated anyway, I just don't think it is that widely known, even in gay circles, even with the film available on DVD, and maybe I'm wrong, of course. But for years I was the only gay man I knew who'd even heard of the film, much less seen it, and that was while I was working at a gay business in Chelsea, and for way too long I owned the only VHS copy of the film I'd ever seen. GREY GARDENS is a rarity, and not the kind of thing that someone like RoXy Andrews, Coco or Alyssa would get much out of, I'd say.

I would say that was true a few years ago, but the documentary has been remastered and re-released, it's been aired all over cable, there's been a movie and a Broadway musical.

[SonofRobbieJ]

And...if I remember correctly...it was Alyssa and Coco (and maybe RoXy?) that were flummoxed by Jinkx's choice.

aaaand Sharon Needles did a Little Edie inspired magazine cover photo shoot in season 4.

Does anyone own the DRAG RACE DVDs? I was just curious if they had the Untucked episodes on them as well.

I am way too into drag queens. I was trying to calm my 10 week old daughter, dancing and singing RuPaulogize. I need to step away from the lace fronts.

we need video of that

So... why is Ru a massive bitch in season 4? He was nice in season 2 and in season 5 that I've watched, but he so often just comes off as an ass here.

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 4/29/13 at 4:07am

There was a big shift in his feedback. He used to always keep it positive and laugh, but now, especially in the work room, he pulls more of a Tim Gunn approach and tells them if he doesn't think it will work.

I don't really remember much about Ru in Season 4. What did he do?

Anyone aware of a live stream for tonight?
