RuPaul's Drag Race season 9 — Page 2

Kimora and James do feel like the first two to go. Not fond of Aja either, but at least Untucked seem to humanize her a bit. I thought she came off really badly during the episode itself; not enough skill to back up the ego. And I will never get the appeal of a septum piercing, but to each his own.

The quality of the shoot seems so high this season. It's all bright and fun, I love it. I do agree that the show gave me a serious case of drag race blue balls - what with no LSFYL.

Any guesses about the returning queen? I'd personally love to see Laila McQueen come back but the butt/walk/style was not her. It might be Gia Gunn (absolutely not want it to be her).

The consensus seems to be that the 14th queen is Cynthia Lee Fontaine. I did enjoy her enough on the show, but I don't really see the need to bring her back.

Maybe if Kimora gets eliminated she'll repost her porn that she took off Xtube.

I thought jayvees gave a way better LSFYL than that other nasty piece of trash.

I'm still waiting for a fun, unique challenge. This one was fun, but the editing made it all about the "Project Runway" aspect and none about creating the other side piece character. It all still feels very lackluster. Though, I do look forward to hearing the judges jokes every week.

This is the best bunch of queens since it's peak of Seasons 5 and 6, but the challenges and editing have been only okay. Why have we not had any mini-challenges? Why was Lisa Kudrow there? Bringing back a sewing challenge is a start, but I miss a lot of those classic Drag Race challenges.

Even without any mini-challenges, I think the episodes so far have to been far too packed. They seem over edited, I feel like there wasn't enough room for some of the funnier reads to breathe (including last week's runway). I'd be happy to see some more queens leave so we can get more workroom stuff.

As for emerging front-runners I'd watch out for Sasha, Charlie, and quite possibly Shea. This is one phenomenal season indeed.

PS - this lighting's awful.

I think VH1 required more commercial time so the episodes are a bit shorter, but 14 queens is just too many in this format. They aren't getting any screen time. Things are discussed in Untucked, like behavior and budding strife, that we're not seeing on the show. It's messy this season.



Valentina is beautiful, but I think saying she had only been doing drag for 10 months was very misleading. She had only been doing it professionally, full time, for 10 months. She's been dressing and doing makeup for years. She is being strategic.



Aja's makeup is a MESS. She's a fierce lip syncer, but those overdrawn lips are hurting my feelings.



I did love Untucked this week. Untucked is far more fun than the show so far.

I still want a big girl to win! And I wish they were 90 mins episodes.

I have to say, I love Slay Coulee after this episode. Can see her, Valentina, Sasha, and possibly Eureka taking the top 3-4 spots. Nina is currently on the "get over your inner saboteur, gurl" track of this season. I had Charlie on the top until now, but I guess that went out the door.

Agree with everyone here that episodes are incredibly rushed this season. Last episode's runaway was like 15 seconds total. Blink and you miss a queen. What the heck is up with that?
