Miz Cracker's glass slam and frustrated yell at Vixen's constant interrupting in Untucked gave me life! So far I am loving this season hard, never have I seen a really, REALLY good season.

33 lerks to weigh in on! A veritable cornucopia of crafty creativity! So in the Pit Stop with Raja they let it be known that only 1 of the 3 looks had to be built from scratch in the workroom, presumable that Martian look, which does seem a lot more doable in the day and a half they had. That's how come so many polished bathing suits and fur ensembles could walk the runway.
And one more blessing in this episode-- Mama Ru herself actually made a tour of the workroom to check on the girls' progress. Brava! That alone made this feel like one of the great vintage episodes of yore.
I'm pretty much in agreement on the very tops and very bottoms, but boy would I have liked to have seen a lot more love given to:
Eureka's 3 looks. For a big girl you can't just throw a zigzag lightning bolt over a body stocking and call it a day like Aquaria can. That Eureka can build serious looks with serious construction involved. Love her.
Blair St. Clair's swimsuit and fur ensembles (didn't care for her final Martian thing much). I love how this mini-twink born around 1997 can really nail that Ann-Margret/ Samantha Stevens look from the mid60's in episode after episode. She's ok in the acting challenges, but I live for her runways.
The Vixen's see-through bikini and fan. As a person she's just ferocious (not in a good way), but she makes a gorgeous gender-fluid body queen on the runway. It's refreshing to see so much drag this season that isn't obsessed with boobs and hip padding. (And The Vixen gets more points from me for clocking INTO THE WOODS for her second look.)
There still seem to be too many damn girls in the competition-- I'm getting impatient for the Snatch Game episode to really see what these girls are made of. Aren't you?

I don't believe they're doing Snatch Game this season!

Wait what omg no.
Ps - I wouldn't mind a take on Hollywood Squares instead. Bring back Dela!

Not that I'm arguing with Snatch Game being a fail for the last couple of seasons, but I'd still love SOME maxi-challenge where the queens impersonate pop culture icons, whatever the hell they call it. Invariably, the queen who wins the crown each season has shined most brightly in that challenge. It also separates the instagram queens (once I would have said pageant queens) from the ones who really know and care about the history of our iconic ladies, which to me is a key component of a consummate drag queen.

I’ve read some spoilers for the season, and they all hint that there is going to be a Snatch Game. They could be wrong though. WOW has started leaking some false spoilers after much of All Stars 3 was spoiled by someone on reddit.
The spoilers I read hint that Blair is doing Poppy for Snatch Game I had to look up what the hell a Poppy is These younger queens are making me feel old and out of tough with pop culture. The spoilers also said that Aquatia performs poorly until Snatch Game, and that has already been proven to be wrong.

On Untucked this week, what did Eureka say that got Monique and especially Vixen so riled up? I heard something about "crafty", but not sure why that was so negative. I tried to rewatch the episode, but the site wouldn't let me. I really think what ever she said was so minor that Vixen was really just looking for a reason to fight with her. I really dislike Aquaria and Vixen the most.
Posted: 4/15/18 at 7:09am
The Vixen didn't get into an argument over the crafty queen comment. The other contestants and her were having a good laugh trying to figure that one out. The fight started because Eureka said, "I'm getting tired of hearing you talk, can I go smoke?" after accusing The Vixen and Monique of always being negative.
When Eureka did leave for the smoke break, she straight up admitted to starting a fight with Vixen just to prove...that Vixen didn't like her? I'm not sure what the point was, actually, but Eureka owned up to talking smack just to get that reaction.

I had to look that up, too, and that does not seem like someone Blair St. Clair would impersonate. She may be 22, but Blair's aesthetics are decidedly midcentury.

How Blair could pick anyone but Samantha Stephens is beyond me. I bet she's been practicing the nose wiggle since she was Tabitha's age!

This was actually a pretty chill Untucked. No drama, no Vixen potstirring.
Next week's challenge is putting together a DragCon panel.
Posted: 4/20/18 at 1:49pm
I think a lot of The Vixen drama is heavily edited. The moment Eureka, Mayhem, and Vixen had in the latest show really softened her image. I'm hoping she'd be given a better edit going forward. I don't want literally anyone to go home anymore (except maybe Blair because I still find her to be very dull)... :|

I think Blair is more interesting than Kameron Michaels.

Whoa really high bar there haha. I agree with you but seems wrong to judge Kameron since she barely gets any talking head/confessional time.

Because she's so boring!
Posted: 4/20/18 at 4:25pm
Very sad to see Mayhem depart. She never wowed me on the runway but I loved her boy-confessionals so much-- she seemed like a boy I'd want to hang out with. And man, was I glad they gave Eureka the win (despite a kind of atrocious runway jumpsuit). Give her a good acting challenge and she is just a fearless performer. And condragulations to Monique who has jumped into the top tier of queens to watch following her stellar Bossy Rossy appearance.
There still seem to be a few canon-fodder types to get rid of before we fling the best queens at each other. I'd expect Kameron, Asia and The Vixen to be on the chopping block soon.

Have a disappointed daughter that we weren't able to get tix in time to see Ben DeLa Creme on Saturday, May 26 in NYC. So, ISO two tix for either the 7 or 10 p.m. performance. Please message me. Much thanks!
Posted: 4/21/18 at 1:48am
That Eureka vs Vixen fight last week was everything and I was in stitches. Sure Mayhem left this week, but she was coasting along the entire time.

Although the season is perfectly diverting, I'm having trouble working up any real enthusiasm this year. When Eureka seems to be the best all-around performer, it feels like we have no real stars to go crazy about.

Really? I feel like this season is actually packed! Last season you could easily see Trinity and Shea were more or less bulldozing everyone else and who the filler queens were. But not so much now. I personally am okay with a threeway win between Monique, Cracker, and Asia right now.

At this point the only ones I find remotely interesting are Eureka, Cracker and Aquaria. Though I think Aquaria needs a few more years of emotional seasoning before she'd be ready for the title. She's not very poised/mature. I'd be very happy with either Eureka or Cracker winning.
Posted: 4/29/18 at 11:04am
at least we have snatch game next week. traditionally snatch game is where the clear front runners come out (Chad, JInkx, Bob, Alaska, Dela, Katya) and people who were doing well bomb (just look at Tati on AS).
Posted: 5/1/18 at 6:10pm
Looking forward to Bianca and no one else so far in the Snatch Game.
I think Blair's time was up in the game, happy that producers gave her a dignified ending. I was waitng for her to show me the "Broadway" aspect of her, sad it didn't happen until the mirror message but the Smash reference killed me.
