Take a shot everytime you find yourself wondering how the hell LaGanja made it onto Drag Race in the first place.

What annoyed me about Laganja was how I think she could have done so much better had she dropped that act. In video interviews I've seen with her ("Ask A Mortician" is a good example) she comes across as so much more genuine and likeable than the Alyssa caricature we saw on season six. Ask a Mortician
Loved: Vivacious' look! Darienne's parents Bendela - Miss Congeniality Chazz and Courtney - whoaa The Wedding! Lola and her poem Judge Judy The Winnah!
I LOVED the cutaway of Bisage stone faced in the audience at. LaGanja. Darienne's parents were nice. I knew Bendelacreme would take that.. Bianca... YES. ALL of midtown could be heard cheering tonight.
Lord knows why, but this is NOT up on Pirate Bay yet and the Logo site isn't streaming correctly for a lot of people. I needs to see this.
Logo pissed a lot of West Coasters off by posting a big congratulations pic of Bianca as soon as it aired on the East coast. They were prepared to avoid statuses, but just assumed the page itself wouldn't spoil them. I know there was just no way, so I came here to check in as soon as I woke.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!
Bianca won, and entirely deservedly -- there was just no competition whatsoever. I mean really.
The show was enjoyable, but I'll cop to wishing they'd speeded it up a bit, the extra half hour didn't really add much. Why bother with having Adore and the appalling Laganja rehash that fight, and to no real result other than some declaration of sisterhood, whatever. It was fun seeing Courtney admit that she realized how badly she came off in some episodes.
And Michelle Visage's glower at Laganja is one for the ages.

Does anyone else have issues with the look of the show? It just looks over-exposed and blurred, someone on Facebook mentioned it looks like a blurry VHS dupe.

Courtney's singing voice? Yeah, Adore is a better singer... Well, Courtney has some talent, but a lack of training and a fair few pitch issues as well. This was all pretty evident when she was on Australian Idol, as she seemed to be getting through on shock factor and showmanship more than on raw talent.
I think Courtney got a fairly rough deal on editing on the show. It is pretty clear that the whole "hog body" thing was an inside joke with everyone, and Adore was the one who started it, but they always cut to Courtney saying it and then a different shot of everyone looking shocked. They really weren't trying to make it look good.
I got the whole dry humour thing, but I'm Australian, so no real shock there. But they were pretty harsh on the editing to make her look like a bitch, and I really don't believe she is. I've met her, as we have mutual friends in Sydney, and she was lovely. Very sweet and not arrogant, but also polished and self-aware. That self-awareness was used against her in this show.
That being said, my favourite was definitely Bianca, so I'm very happy she won! I was terrified Adore was going to win... that would have just pissed me off!
