Alaska leaked everything to sharon since she was in top 3 and Sharon leaked that info. This all star cast is for the 13-20 year old demo that's why we got no porkchop or ongina

she's my favorite and as much as id like to believe that, I dont think so. Thorgy will be miss C. it will be either Derrick or Naomi in the top 3, sadly.
>>
>>5939559

I've been really underwhelmed by Kimchi. Been so-so in challenges and the runway looks have been shit. I don't doubt she'll end up in the top 3 though, considering Pearl managed it last season, and the reddit crowd is eatting her up.


I'm Thorgy/Bob/Robbie/Acid. Can't decide who I like the best of them.

The SJWs are constantly being triggered by Thorgy.

I don't think I'll ever understand drag. Muppets look more human, and more appealing, than this assortment of degenerates.
>>
>>5941581

Fucking this. I got attacked on YouTube by one of them for voicing my support for Thorgy after I said that I preferred that she'd won the acting challenge instead of Bob.

Fucking love Thorgy. My true winner of this season. A truly positive spirit, detail oriented, versatile talents, and honest.

I really wish and belive Acid is top 3 material, but with all this constant talk about leaked info on the losing queens, I have lost all hope. I mean, most of the stuff people "verified" based on the trailer, even the order, ended up rigth, so...

Thorgy will be the spiritual winner this season, just like Katya from last year. Screencap this.

Thorgy was pretty rough in the first episode, but is becoming my favorite.

There's officially no more filler queens. Once Acid gets kicked off next week it's when shit will start getting tense and there's no more leaked info to go from.
>>
Next week is snatch game right? Is Betty gonna play Madonna? I wonder how she'll screw it up, usually who gets sent home looks picks a trendy character and look the part but then not get any of their mannerisms or jokes
>>
>>5945554
there's a chance that she wont leave the conventional way a la willam, who at the time even won the challenge. acid's ex-bf said she gets kicked off for being a douche

Betty is Nancy Grace.
OMG I can't wait for next week because Thorgy Thor is going to be Michael Jackson and you know those SJWs are going to be pissed off

Also spilled T says Acid Betty is getting kicked out a la Willam

It's gonna be an awesome episode, this season is already way better than the unmemorable hot mess that was S7
>>
>>5948623

They were trying too damn hard to make something happen with Pearl and it just didn't. Season would've been better had they just kicked her instead of Trixie, then let Katya and MKD win the conjoined challenge.
>>
Anyone gone/going to the Divas of Drag tour? Idk what to expect, I've never been to a gay event...
>>
>>5948686
I have read that it's fantastic, better than BOTS. It's not gonna hit the west coast anytime soon, I think. I really really want to go
>>
>>5944883
Naomi and Derrick are filler. Naomi is just there, where as Derrick has no damn business being there. He should have Lipsinced instead of Chichi
>>
>>5948657
I definitely agree, the ONLY reason they kept Pearl was to pander to suburban millennials watching the show and finding him cute as a boy

He's cute but not that cute (many queens have been far more attractive in the past) and not at all talented, should have been kicked off the moment he pulled that ridiculous "do i have something on my face?" shit. He sleptwalk most of the season while real talent like Katya slipped away

Katya was the spiritual winner of the season anyway, even Ru acknoweldged that in the finale.

I think they really did learn from their mistakes because so far season 8 has been amazing with a really talented cast, the double elimination put a fire under their asses and these girls are really turning it. Whereas in season 7 only Violet, Katya and Trixie (and sometimes Ging) were turning it all the time.

I'm rooting for either Thorgy or Bob now, kinda liked Kim Chi but she's all looks no substance so far

So far she and Robbie are the only queens to give halfway entertaining lipsyncs this season. So at least she has that. Even if her 2nd lip sync was steamy shit.

>>5950952

Only the worst sort of sjws are triggered by Thorgy.
>>
>>5950983
It's true, most lip syncs have been shit. I liked chi chi one a bit and robbie was ok (despite her drag always being oh so ugly) but both cynthia and naysha were fucking terrible, like, shameful, they looked and acted desperate

Thorgy coming out in a kimono on snatch game's runway haaa
>>
>>5952512
I have no problem with non-latinos doing latino's stuff, if she did a decent drag of Frida it would be alright but I felt that it was disrespectful, it was funny in a bad way, like "hey, frida looked like shit, was sick and couldn't move, that's so funny, right?".
and no, I didn't get "offended by the lightest breeze". I've never been to mexico but around here people don't even get offended with things like that nor use that word for it. it just pisses me off that it got to the point where saying someone got "offended" is used to disqualify anyone who feels uncomfortable with anything.

I thought she was disrespectful and lacked tact, that's it.

I doubt kimchi will make it to top 3. bitch can't even walk in heels.

Robbie winning the last challenge makes me hopeful that she will go further than expected. Here's hoping Naomi will leave soon and that all speculation that she's top 3 doesn't turn out to be true.

New T says Acid Betty and Derrick are bottom 2, and Acid Betty, having had it with the judges being shady apes, REFUSES to lip sync and just stands there. Think Tammie Brown meets Shannel.

If this is true it's going to be one hell of an episode for sure.
>>
>>5962483
I'm wondering if the producers were planning on getting rid of Derrick then. Acid Betty's bitchiness is too good for reality tv, specially when she has the talent to back it up. I doubt they were planning to axe her this early on,
specially since in the trailer, Derrick appears crying about the emotional rollercoaster which is from episode 7 and her makeover partner looks busted, so she'll keep on landing in the bottom.
>>
>>5963289
Probably this. Specially since Acid is a huge Madonna fan and even said on meet the queens that she would like to lip sync to anything Madonna. They threw her in the bottom expecting her to slay it(like they did with Robbie in the rollerskate challenge) and send Derrick packing but it backfired.
>>
>>5962483
Acid and Naomi are in the bottom two. Apparently Naomi's New York impression was horrible

Not necessarily true. This is usually the case with queens that aren't very great from first sight or from the beginning of the season, but Naomi definitely has a look to her and she's a pretty great queen.

If you recall Pearl being on the bottom 2-3 times last season, but she made it to the top 3.

Which was pure bullshit. Pearl is the least deserving contestant to ever be on the top 3.

When the most interesting thing this episode happens off-camera...

>When RuPaul threw his mic, he went backstage and started yelling at the other two head honcho/producer types, and said why aren't these bitches prepped, do I have to do everything, and the other folks were like, well, you're the one who invited them, and it was super uncomfortable as all the girls just listened to this happening backstage, and then Ru came back out all smiles like nothing had happened, and then they got some PAs to basically tell the models what to write.

AND WHY THE FUCK DIDNT ROBBIE DO LIZA MINNELLY?

Robbie and Derrick keep on being saved, they waste the brought back queen on Naysha, now Acid slips up and is sent home right away. Fuck this, so much talent and they only kept it for 5 episodes, if there was a ever a time for a "shantay you both stay" it would have been now

Models aren't really known to be wellsprings of interesting conversation.

This is the shit I hated about season 7. MKD fucks up once. Gone. Max fucks up once. Gone. While shit, boring queens with only marginally better lip syncs get to coast on by.

Acid was my favorite this season. Guess now I'm team Bob.

Yeah I love Bob to death but his main weakness is definitely that he overdoes it, just like Visage told him. Still, his first character was done incredibly well regardless. Thorgy might have won if he didn't do that well-recieved switch, though.

Derrick is such a dumbass when does he leave anyways. His hairlines make me want to cry.

Derrick was so amazing as Britney, why can't he bring that level of quality outside of Britney?
>>
>>5975597

I fully expected Naomi to get trashed but to be honest, she actually did really well in that lipsync. Acid was probably fucked by her outfit, but Naomi was really feeling that song.

I don't mind Naomi cause she isn't 100% one of those queens who is like 'I only care about being fish', if she pulls out some looks that arent a bathing suit and robe then I'll be satisfied with her. She's been nothing but safe prior to this though so I can't see her winning.

>>
>>5980113
that's true, there are no clear stand outs to me this season, unlike previous ones where i had favorites from the beginning. thorgy is cool, bob is good but i just can't bring myself to like him, something about him doesn't sit right with me, and i'm always amazed by kimchi's make-up. the purto rican ones sucked balls this season, dax was horrible, i don't know why but i liked laila a tiny bit, robbie turner is meh. chi chi and naomi are tolerable.
last season had katya and max who i loved from the beginning.
>>
>>5980068
>i get that he's good at what he does (impersonating britney) but this isn't a celebrity impersonation competition.
And the only episode where it IS a celebrity impersonation competition he falls flat/middle of road. Tatianna, who had no experience and didn't even know Snatch Game would be a challenge, delivered a massively more entertaining and memorable Britney.

Sharon Needles' T from the BOTS tour says that according to Thorgy herself half Michael Jackson jokes were about the pedophilia allegations. Probably too black comedy for a show so closely associated with LaToya and they got edited out.

No confirmation about this but I think it was the same with Kim Chi's character, they only showed one answer and it's probably so they wouldn't get any controversy.

Robbie Turner as a sour face all the time and she's middle of the road too. She and a Naomi are filler queens in my mind. Derrick is constantly useless and Kim Chi is mid-high for me. Thorgy and Bob have this competiton in the bag. Acid's leave was justified if we take the lip sync on its own, otherwise Naomi should have gtfo because she can't deliver anything memorable, whereas Acid at least has interesting looks.

Either way this season has me gagging.
>>
>>5980116
kimchi's runway looks have all been good. betty was cool for two episodes but the loud crazy in your face style get's boring after a while
>>
I AM GAGGING
>>
>>5980143
If only we could do something about that walk. Cowardly Lion realness, Macaw Couture and Nothing Really Matters Eleganza have conveniently hidden her terrible runway walk, but she's going to run out of ways to hide it. Girl needs to sissy that walk stat.

All T no shade she reminds me of Pearl a bit, she's very dry personality wise, even when talking about personal things. However, unlike Pearl, she's actually bringing it and seems to be an actual human being, so I do like her a lot.
>>
>>5980143

Kim's runways(and makeup) are the most overrated shit this season. She's coasting hard.
>>
>>5980148
drag race used to so good and fun :(
i don't know what it is but season 7 and this season have changed the show in a way that i don't like and i think is probably irreversible

>>5980160
what are you talking about? even his madonna geisha make up was breath taking to me. when it comes to just makeup he's clearly the best this season (and maybe top 5 overall)

>>5980158
yeah i know, so weird. it's not like it's hard to walk like a model, anyone can do it. he has just a lot of awkward things about him, but the walk is not acceptable
>>
>>5980158

Don't bring Reddit's catchphrases over here please, they're as unfunny as obnoxious.
>>
>>5980173
While Season 7 was a boring shitshow full of retarded challenges (Shakesqueer anyone?) and deeply idiotic elimination choices (Katya vs. Ms. Kennedy "Condemning" Davenport, Trixie vs. Sleepwalking Pearl...), I think Season 8 is going back on track. I quite like the Untucked format as of now because it's not nearly as artificial as it was during S4/5, where the girls (except Willam) may as well be reading off a script. The challenges have been varied and honestly even the filler queens have been fun and memorable, with the exception of maybe Dax! and Naomi.

I do think the lackluster reception S7 got woke Ru up. S8 seems more demanding and versatile, and I really really hope that means we won't get a "top 3 because she's pretty" girl again. We had to suffer that shit since Rebecca fucking Glasscock in S1, but the Pearl thing really excacerbated this for me. Ru herself admits she just kept her because she was a cute boy and audiences would like her boy look, but now realized that what audiences REALLY want are fun, memorable queens.

I do have high hopes for this season and while the Acid Betty elimination is a bit upsetting I can understand it and is nowhere near as awful as the shit this show pulled last season.

>>
>>5980209

>Katya vs Kennedy

There were plenty of idiotic elimination choices, but that wasn't one of them. Kennedy performed way better throughout the competition than Katya and completely won that lip sync. The fact that Kennedy didn't make top 3 over Pearl was one of the worst decisions of the season.

Season 8's really been up and down for me so far. People didn't start hating on s7 til post snatch game after Max left. And season 8's already mimicking that by sending home a front runner again.
>>
>>5980209
one thing i prefer is the new untucked, but i disagree with you. so far i'm finding the season 8 cast to be even worse than season 7. season 7 had maybe 4 or 5 completely forgetable queens but this season has like 7.

Katya and Kennedy had the same amount of high placements and wins at that point. The lipsync was very good but Kennedy to me came off as desperate, too high energy even in slow parts of the song and she didn't even mouth the lyrics right in places, while Katya always stayed on point even if it was less flashy. I think the split jump out of the stage was what won it for Kennedy. But beyond that Katya had more wit and charisma, and it's obvious Ru realized it. In the challenge herself Hello Katya is comedy-wise miles ahead of Kennedy, and look at Ru's face when she heard Kennedy's ridiculously cringey speech in the finale. Even the "can I get some water" acknowledges it was a mistake.

To be honest in the Hello Kitty episode it should have been Pearl and Kennedy or Katya in the bottom. Pearl just put a fucking blanket on. Jesus.

>>5980240
It's the opposite for me, Katya, Violet, Trixie and Ginger were the only ones that gave me that "they could be top 3" vibe. Everybody else was just going through the motions but didn't feel compelling at all to watch. This season even messes like Laila were fun. If I had to round up the boring queens I'd say Robbie (bitching and getting mad at everything), Naomi (no personality at all), and maaaybe Dax, but she barely got any screen time.

I honestly remember a LOT more from season 4, 5 and 6 than anything from S7.
>>
>>5980275

Bob's giving me Bianca in s6 vibes. She's leaving everybody behind, and only Thorgy seems to be doing any good at keeping pace with her. Her runway gig's a bit hit or miss though.
>>
>>5980292
>Pearl just put a fucking blanket on.

And still looked better than 2/3 people. Low bars are low.
>>
>>5980297
Sums up the issues of Season 7, really.
>>
>>5980173

Honestly, I think the new format of Untucked is partially why people seem to think season 7/8 are so boring. It shows the girls having nice conversations and mostly getting along like they actually do, vs old untucked literally just having them placed in borderline-scripted drama attack scenarios to produce memes and ratings.
>>
Lol at people comparing season 8 to the shitshow that was season 7. Season 8 had a single bad/underwhelming episode. The other 4 episodes were more entertaining than the entirety of season 7.
>>
>>5984986

People were living for season 7 early on too, and it had some great episodes early on like amazonian airways and one of the best snatch games of the show.

Honestly it probably started off stronger than 8. At least it didn't have any fuckery right out the gate like the whole double elim/bring back Naysha of all people bs. At least they made bring back a queen in s7 into a challenge(another great episode) so that it was at least partially justified.
>>
apparently most of thorgy's mj jokes were about child molesting so they had to edit most of it out
>>
>>5987952
Could explain why she didn't win
>>
When Ru called the Thorgy's and Bob's name I was expecting a double win. Poor Thorgy

>>
>>5990989
That's basically what happened about two or three times this season already. Bob's being played as the safest, obvious winner on every turner while Thorgy is the one always right behind, always being so close to winning. Think Manila/Raja or Courtney/Bianca. It's called editing and it's part of the very core of the show. [spoiler]And most of the time it sucks for being painfuly wrong.[/spoiler]
>>
>>5992873
But Glamazon came out five years ago

Robbie is gonna leave next episode for sure. Naomi will likely win the challenge.
>>
>>5997955
I'm still hopeful that Derrick talking about the emotional rollercoster in the trailer could be him sashaying away
>>
>>6003011
As much of a hot mess Derrick is, I want Naomi out first. She's so bland.
>>
>>6003040
Don't count on it. She is at very least safe but likely high placing or winning this challenge.
>>
>>6003053
Ugh another week with her...
>>
Why have none of the judges read Naomi for having no tits?

How are Derrick and Robbie still in this?
>>
>>6003079
Because she can pull it off

Don't forget Kim chi. Kim is cool and stuff, but you gotta be able to offer more than looks. Who knows maybe she'll get famous in Japan and Korea
>>
>>5980297
>And still looked better than 2/3 people. Low bars are low.

this isn't rupaul's beauty pageant

are we all in agreeance that naomi's time is running out
>>
>>6003162
>are we all in agreeance that naomi's time is running out
no. people have been pegging her as top 3 with kim and bob since the beggining
>>
It's either Robbie or Derrick tonight. Place your bets.

I want it to be Derrick but it's more likely Robbie.
>>
>>6003177

That would be the worst top 3 in the show's history. Bob definitely deserves to be there, but neither of those other two hos do, at least not so far.

Bob and Thorgy aside, the rest of this season's queens are starting to all look like filler. Even 7 had a more rounded cast.
>>
>>6003162
...i like naomi. i shouldn't be cuz really she just has the best body of this cast, repetitive outfits and one half decent lip sync but i still like her

>>6003177

what is wrong with people?
>>
>>6008512
>what is wrong with people?
pegging her as miss congeniality
>>
>>6008579
i feel like kimchi will get booted off before top 3 and will be miss cong
>>
>>6008601
I miss when Miss Congeniality actually meant Miss Congeniality instead of "gone too soon internet poll". Alaska and Josslyn deserved it more than the likes of Ivy Winters and Dela. And Nina Flowers couldn't be MC now because she was top 3.

>>6003177
WHO has been doing that? She is showing no charisma, always has the same looks, definitely had no wits or comedy skills, and most telling of all has little to no air time. Top 3s get air time and storylines, Naomi is the definition of middle of the road filler queen, all she's being shown as good for is body and face.

>>6008504
>Even 7 had a more rounded cast.
rounded in mediocrity? lol

I do agree Kim is boring but at least she's more original in her looks than Naomi.
>>
>>6008504
>That would be the worst top 3 in the show's history.

Worst top 3 was season 7. Pearl and Violet had absolutely no business being in the top
>>
>>6009322
>Pearl and Violet had absolutely no business being in the top

Because Ginger was such a unique talent?

Please.
>>
>>6009336
Ginger can do way more than stand on a stage and look pretty. Violet and Pearl are not performers.

Have you seen them live? They are mediocre at best.

Ginger is funny, she can sing, she can act, and perform.

Aside from looks, which you can buy, how are Violet and Pearl better than Ginger?
>>
>>6009366

>Aside from looks, which you can buy

He says while defending a queen that made a $5000 dress look cheap.

Drag isn't just being a goon on stage.
>>
>>6009377
I forgot this was America's Next Top Model.

>Drag isn't just being a goon on stage.

Yes, it is. Look at all the successful drag queens, they are goons on stage who manage turn out shows and appearances.

Why did Violet have to cancel her personal tour after the show? Because tickets weren't selling; she's a horrible drag queen

What can Pearl do aside from this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/comments/38tjv4/a_tiny_clock_about_pearls_album/

I mean, she can model as a boy, but that defeats the purpose of being a drag queen.
>>
>>6003132

Kim was already famous before drag race but ok?
>>
>>6009366
Did you see violet lip sync? At all??
>>
>>6010078
>Kim was already famous before drag race but ok?

Girl, how old are you? Kim was not famous. She was known by a niche audience apart of a small niche. She is not mainstream famous. Most suburban women could not tell you anything about kim chi, other that it's fermented cabbage.

>>6010312
Violet is bad at lipsyncing. Her mouth is too fishy/mouthy. I cringe, whenever I see her.
>>
>>6010078
>instagram fandoms are the real world
must be fun being a tween

>>6009366
I agree with you, ginger should have won. I'm not mad with violet though because she is a tyra style winner, she is a looks queen (that waist is impressive) even if she's lacking in charisma and fun. But like tyra she makes for a boring queen.

I think and hope that ru realized that people want fun queens and that's why the katya/glass of water bit happened in the finale. The show needs to focus on fun queens, fun queens is why everybody thinks season six was the best.

Naomi and Derrick are definitely going to be in the top 4. How is anyone going to beat Derrick at lip syncing for their lives???? Shes a fucking pro.

I see chi chi and kim chi going home soon.

>>
>>6009377
>Drag isn't just being a goon on stage.
Aren't the most successive drag queens all entertainers though (dancing, comedy), not fashion models?

The odds of Thorgy and Kimchi winning are dwindling. Bob has pretty much cemented is win.

Yeah I'm getting S6 Bianca Vibes from Bob. Her looks are yawn but she's so god damn entertaining and so much fun I feel like she's running away with the competition.

Really wish she would up her game looks wise, every single look is a good idea badly executed. Except when she does big black woman realness, then she turns it.
>>
>>6013170
She could still get the Ginger Minj edit. Some queens and viewers have been finding her annoying.

Kim chi
Bob
Thorgy for top 3

my favorite moment this season. eliminating acid betty was the worst mistake the show has ever made
>>
My boyfriend slept with a stage hand from the show. He gave me the tea.

Derrick is out next. The staff really hated him, apparently.


Naomi Smalls is 5th. She spends her last episode building up Kim Chi the entire time to make us root more for the underdog. Then she and Chi Chi DeVayne lipsync and she gets the boot.

Chi Chi goes full on Darienne Lake for eliminating Naomi.

Thorgy excluded from the top 4. She overthinks everything and gets booted because of that. Her and Bob's rival storyline comes to a close. Bob gets a storyline of being the "last" NY queen, and wants to win for her city.

The final three are Bob, Chichi, and Kim Chi

Kim Chi or Bob are the most likely to win. Chi Chi is going to get the Adore treatment. Staff said that Ru wanted another racial queen, my money is on it being Kim Chi for the underdog storyline, Bob's increasing ego edit, and Kim's race.

I hate how easy Bob is sailing through atm specially with how underwhelming her runways have been, does Bob even know how to paint? she's like the Trixie of S8 in the sense that she considers herself to be a comedy queen and there is nothing funny about her other than being a loud mouth

Also Bob is nowhere near Bianca

KimChi would be perfect for a fat queen winner, Drag race still needs to fill its diversity quota to please the jew overlords anyways and having KimChi winning would be perfect because she also asian.

WOW tried to pull that "Big girl" shit with Ginger and that did not work because everyone hated Ginger last season after that final episode so it kinda backfired.

Drag race already has two black queen winners anyway so Bob actual chances of winning are smaller than most people think.

Hometown drag is still one of the few "come-as-you-are" communities in LGBT. It's already a caricature of how you're supposed to act.

WOW and RPDR is a very PG-13 version of drag to appeal to younger gays and girls who are America's Next Top Model and Project Runway crossviewers. That's why dipshits like Violet and Naomi are fan favorites but don't book shit afterwards

Violet isn't booking stuff because she's getting featured in fashion stuff with Miss Fame and Pearl
They do perform, but it's not where their focus is
>>
>>6034955
That's not the point though. The point is, they don't get booked to perform at bars clubs etc, because they aren't fantastic performs. It's a great thing that those three found ways to make drag work for them, that doesn't involve performing
>>
>>6035598
Violet and Fame specially have transcended that "club" mentality.

Violet is so much more than any of the previous winners can ever hope to be except for Bianca, in fact Violet's advantage over any of the previous winners is that she understands how important/useful social media has evolved to become and she knows exactly how to cater to the people that like her because she knows who they are.

Also

Violet unlike Raja is young as fuck when compared to the Raja that won S3 so even though Raja was pretty intelligent her age always held her back.
Violet unlike Sharon never put herself in one box
Violet unlike Tyra did not disappear after her season ended ended
>>
>>6037205
Raja had an established career as a makeup artist, that's how she knew Tyra Banks, she does runway makeup
A lot of drag queens are walking runways for some houses like Marco Marco
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIDZR-fyrl0
or Willam and Sharon for Betsy Johnson (pic related), but these are usually shows that focus on queerness (Marco Marco is basically just gayboy underwear and Betsy Johnson was having a "trendy and transgendy" themed wedding collection for marriage equality) but I think Fame and Violet are really the only ones breaking the mainstream

I agree, but she was also only there for six episodes I think

Thorgy was an idiot in that Lipsynch. Ru HATES it when queens camp up an emotional song. What's "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going"? One of THE MOST emotional songs ever. Don't clown around to that shit! It's up there with taking your wig off without another wig underneath!

ChiChi was amazing though

It could work, but it just wasn't fitting this lip sync since Thorgy was all over the place.
