Rupauls Drag Race Season 10 — Page 5

My guess is that Kameron will get the top-of-the-world to bottom-of-the-heap arc and sashay away next week. Who will follow him next? I'm guessing Cracker-- a great looks-queen with a constipated performance style.

That leaves a final 4 of Eureka, Aquaria, Monet and Asia, which seems right to me. And I agree with those who think the crown is Eureka's to lose.

I'm sure the general public enjoys seeing someone play "the villain" in these "reality" shows; that's why every show has one, and why the ridiculous and lowbrow genre is so successful. You can never underestimate the masses.

I just find the behavior so vulgar and crass that I tend to mute that person. And that's what happened with The Vixen. He's clearly jealous that Eureka was doing so well; it's odd how the pageant queens never seem to come in realizing that this show is about more than merely creating great looks, and then they always get nasty to the queens who can actually sing and act (shades of Phi Phi O'Hara and RoXy Andrews).

But to call Eureka "unprofessional" was just ludicrous. The Vixen may do a good show in real life, but he really turned me off on this season's RDR.

That Vulture interview reminds me of Theresa Rebeck's claims that she only fails because of misogyny.

The drag world has the potential to be a supportive rainbow, to start doing racism down. The Vixen seems to want to throw gasoline on the flames and destroy the world, rather than work to improve it. Sadly, he's not alone in that approach. Far too many people value rage over love.

^Strike that part about no Watcha Packin' this week--- it just appeared on NewNowNext. Woefully underwhelming look into the Vixen's psyche. I'm still hoping the Pit Stop shows up soon.

Did anyone else find that Breastworld skit to be rather devoid of laughs?

But the lip synch was good this week.

I just don't see a real star anywhere this season - we've been spoiled by Bianca and Bob and Alaska and Jinkx.

Yes, Ru seems to be putting on weight in the midsection, and is trying to compensate with rather cartoonish padding. But you'll never catch her in a muumuu!

Can I talk for a second about who has the soul of a drag queen here and who doesn't? After last night's mostly anemic episode (laughless Breastworld script, villain-less workroom with the exit of The Vixen), I'm having a very hard time seeing the SOUL of a drag queen in evidence in at least three of the queens still standing: Kameron, Aquaria and Mz Cracker. They all lack the extrovert gene that would make them the natural life of the party. They avoid showing any emotion other than disdain (and maybe deep fear) for any honest interaction with the other girls in the room. And they each have a real problem with being funny, just basic run-of-the-mill FUNNY.

The last time someone as cool and studied as this won the crown was probably Violet Chatchki, but at least SHE had some serious acrobatic talents to balance her less than warm and winning personality.

Call me old school-- I want America's Next Drag Superstar to be a livewire laugh-a-minute personality who makes the party anywhere she is. That describes Eureka, Asia and Monet to a tee, but leaves the other 3 in the dust.

Well, in her defense, she's not getting Asia's commentary on the outfit, she's just seeing it walk down the runway. His commentary is what sold me on that Granny in Harlem look because I've totally seen that woman.

I really enjoyed the episode! And I like bitch cried through that lipsync. So good. Glad they're both here, but I'm Team Eureka all day. I hope the top 2 is Monet and Eureka.

I like Miz Cracker, but she's yet to, like, show us anything. She's got solid looks, but...? I'm kind of hoping they do something more improvy so she can shine.

That really was great, thanks for posting.


And I doubt we'll get a roast either. I just hope there's no soup can challenge, that's all I ask.

Sorry to see Monet go -- one of the least deserving eliminations in the history of this show, I think. Kameron and Aquaria would have been far more worthy departures. I'm not sure I give a damn about this season any more. Especially after watching RuPaul have to drag a performance out of Eureka in that Butch Photo challenge -- is she really going to crown her as the Next Drag Superstar?

I think I'm over it.

Asia is the only queen I'm rooting for at this point. I like Cracker a lot, but she isn't coming off great on the show, and I'm sure she'll shine post-Drag Race without the win. If she works her tail off, like Trixie has, she will have a great career.

I've done a lot of reading on how the show works, and there is a good amount of evidence that the producers pick the winner for many seasons before the competition even starts. I feel like this is happening with Eureka, as there has never been a plus size winner, and she has performed the strongest of the previous, lackluster options in that category. While I find her annoying in the Werk Room, I've warmed up to her a bit. Though there have been rumblings online of some rather rude and diva-ish behavior from some of the queens (I guess she snubbed Asia at Drag Con, not giving her the time of day when she tried to get a picture with her).



As someone who often struggles to verbalize their feeling, I empathize with Aquaria, but she also has a chip on her shoulder that more years on this planet will surely remove.

I'm baffled by Kameron. I think Monet lost that lip-sync before it even began, even though IMO she performed better than Kameron. Monet isn't the most polished queen, but I like that she's a bit rough around the edged, and she has that IT factor that Kameron lacks.
