RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6

[Arboreal]

Was a little surprised at how bitchy Courtney was. Or as people like to call it, "bitter". Especially when she was so sweet in the previous untucked episodes towards the other queens. Particularly to Adore and Darienne. Seemed out of left field? Considering Joslyn is no threat to her. I really hope Ben doesn't win. Sure, she's nice and sweet. But bores me out of my mind.

Stand-up comedy challenge! CRINGE!!!

Laganja: Ding-dong, the witch is dead! Ok, that was mean. She wasn't evil, just really dim, fake, and a hot mess on the inside; she had stopped being (unintentionally) entertaining a while ago.

Bianca: A few moments in the workroom made me remember why I used to dislike her: those instances when she just randomly insults people, and sometimes it's clever and funny, but sometimes it's just an insult. Still, the good outweights the bad in her by far, and her routine was as strong as we have come to expect.

Ben: The judges want her to drop the character, but I don't think she can do it, and honestly, I don't think it's necessary for her. Unlike Laganja, Ben's character is accomplished and has a "realness" of its own. I think the judges are asking something of her that's not really necessary and unreasonably hard - it would pretty much go against the very core of Ben. Anyway, her performance fell flat, and the only reason she wasn't in the bottom again was that her "narrative" didn't really allow it.

Joslyn: I'm rooting for her, but her performance was mediocre at best, and her make-up was rough.

Courtney: Starting to be seriously put off by her. She's quite full of herself, and she doesn't seem to realize that she comes off that way, so suddenly she also seems a little stupid.

Trinity: Her irritating attitude returned in the work room, but then she unexpectedly turned it out. Good week for her.

Adore: She has a strong presence, but her performance was mediocre.

Darienne: keeps being somewhat shady, but her performance was decent.

Top 3: Biance, Adore, and... Trinity?

 

[JockTalk]

Ben DOES NOT have what it takes to win. It's not that she's not showing her true self, it's that her true self really isn't that interesting. He's nice. That's about it and "yikes" he sure is no comedian. He's also short. Very Betty Boop but is Ru really looking for simply a nice, sweet drag queen?

 

[shawnyqueer]

I'm just hoping Courtney turns it around. It's...too late for her to be the winner of the season, but I at least want her to make top three. I have a feeling the next challenge is going to be her's to win. Talk Shows are her gig, I can't see her screwing up. The Makeover challenge is the challenge after this upcoming episode and I can possibly see Courtney doing fairly well there, too.

Basically I'm just a Courtney stan praying she doesn't sashay away anytime soon. ):

 

[VaseFace808]

I think I like Ben based on personality, but don't care for her runway looks and the word boring springs to mind over winner.

Bianca annoyed me to no end for most of this season with her ridiculous look & bitchy personality, but the last couple of episodes she's grown on me. Mostly because of her relationship with Trinity.

Trinity, looks-wise, I'm a fan. But her confidence lacking and excuse making definitely needed to go. I was gagging at her comedy routine. Very funny.

Courtney Act & DairyAnne Lake (or whatever) are sooooo "meh".

Courtney should not hrow shade/read anyone until she stops skating by. She's pretty, but is beyond mediocre in everything she does. She has no place to critique Joselyn Fox, the judges aren't doing backflips over Courtney either.

D. Lake simply never has anything interesting to say & her looks aren't impressive.

I like Adore! Wish she was a bit more polished, but that roughness keeps her entertaining.


My Top 3 are Adore, Bianca, &Trinity. At this point, I'm cool with anything of them winning.

I can see why people think Ben is boring, but I still like his character overall. And what does short have to do with anything?

I honestly see Courtney going home either next week or the week after that. I certainly don't see her doing well on the makeover challenge because I don't think she has the patience. I hope she proves me wrong though, because I still like her overall.

I think this season Bianca is going to win unless something crazy happens, hopefully it doesn't and she wins this.

This isn't really a "spoiler" per se, but based on the untucked and season preview, Courtney and Darriene have 2 more runway looks and the rest have 1 more look. I cannot deal seeing Darriene for 3 more episodes (or more for that matter).

It's too early to tell, but I don't think there's ever been a queen as consistent as Bianca. She's never been in the bottom 3 and currently has 2 wins under her belt. I'd love to see her lip-sync because we haven't seen her do it yet, but maybe that won't happen? lol. If the following main challenges are the talk show and then the makeover, we all know Bianca is not afraid to speak her mind and can sew the shit out of fabric.

Jinkx still has her beat, I think. 8 straight weeks of "Highs" with two of those being wins.

Totally "slept" on her, but Jinkx was still always being critiqued about her style last I remember. Bianca has only been called out for the white lines trademark she does, which was more of an intentional thing.

 

[hylas]

Raja was pretty much crowned on the first episode.

LOL, Darienne should totally spell her name Dairy Anne.

I don't think Courtney will do well on the make-over challenge... I have a feeling that that challenge is more for the queens with an exagerated look rather than the fishy ones.

Yes, Alaska was, never to having to lip synch and she was still robbed of her crown. I knew Jinx should not have won after the candy challenge where she put together three very sad looks. Alaska's were superb. Who is Ru's favorite this year? It ain't Bianca. I think it's Trinity, maybe Adore.

 

[arpeggi]

I don't have a favorite to win, but I tend to favor the underdogs. I don't really see a Jinx Monsoon to get behind this season. My favorite is Trinity, because I think she has potential. I don't see her sticking around much longer though. Unless she keeps wearing things like that black & white number, which was stunning.

I mostly wanted Gia and LaGanja out, and they are. I like Ben DelaCreme enough, but she seems to have faltered more recently. I like Bianca probably as much, but I think her snarky style of humor has gotten old quick. Funny, but borrowed.

I get the appeal for Adore. She's fun. But that's kind of it. Just like how Courtney is just pretty.

This might sounds harsh, but when Darienne is on screen, I tend to shout things like, "Shut up you fat bitch." Which is mean. But seriously, what is her fucking problem with DeLa? I don't get it and she has little to offer aside from the occasional humorous quip. Sorry but, every drag show I've been to is filled with queens just like her.

This season lacks originality and most of these girls are one-note.

 

[ravenstar]

Trinity blew me away in both the commercial challenge and the stand up challenge. I was expecting a total car crash in that comedy challenge but the confidence came out of nowhere and here stories were both highly enjoyable and relatable. I wouldn't have been at all surprised if she'd won that challenge to be honest.

Laganja, meh, the crying, the tantrums, that annoying as hell ghetto shtick, she's really talented but came across as a fucked up scrambled egg. Maybe laying off the weed would be a good idea.

Joslyn - have to admit it, I thought she was gone when she had to lip synch against Laganja. Laganja puts on a show but Joslyn was fucking awesome. That moment when the both did the splits on the exact same beat of the song made me cheer. The sassy looks, the head toss, the attitude. She's a real contender.

Courtney - I've seen a lot of people pissed that Courtney was bitchy to Joslyn in the Untucked episodes. I didn't see it as bitchy so much as Australia. There's a dryness to Courtney that is pretty much Australian to the core. I think she's trying to help Joslyn, but the way she's saying it isn't translating to the American audience. When Joslyn made a comment that she was hurt by something Courtney said about her look not being polished I was taken back because to me it was a said in such a manner as to be rather caring. She even offered Joslyn the use of her wardrobe if she wanted it. An Australian will call you a cunt to your face and not be trying to be bitchy.

Adore - she's awesome. She won that challenge for her and Laganja, and I think that Laganja not only knew it, but resented it.

Ben - Was surprised to see him in the bottom 2 and I hope he can pull it back. I can see what Michelle is saying about it all being about the character, but lets face it, all of them are playing a character.

Darrien - neither here nor there. I'm over her attitude to Ben and really hoped that she went home. Hopefully she'll tone the snideness down and go back to how she was at the beginning. I really liked her then.

Bianca - when she snapped "I'm not your Mama" to Laganja I damn near laughed till I peed. She was the star of the comedy challenge and calling out Santino and Michelle for wanting versatility the way she did was fucking brilliant. She's a bit of a mother hen, and I knew Ru had something up his sleeve when he paired Bianca and Trinity. I don't think either Ru nor Bianca had any idea just how successful that pairing was going to be.

 

[Native Son]

Well, it looks they're both trying not to laugh. (And failing.)

Or else that big-ass lapel just tickled her boobie.

 

[Native Son]

Alyssa is Laganja's drag mother. At least with Alyssa it seems to come naturally but it's so forced with Laganja that it comes across as annoying.

Yeah, it was a misguided attempt at who knows what. Ironically she was mouthing every word her mother was saying but not listening to a word of it. It was just a bad impersonation. But now that I know what she was up to, I'm thinking she should have just zipped it and played Alyssa in the Snatch Game. That would have been a nice homage and it might have actually worked in that context.

 

[Riyian]

I couldn't put my finger on who Laganja reminded me of, and then I saw that Alyssa is her drag mother. I liked Laganja at first, her shtick was funny and would make me laugh but then it just got old. She started taking everything personally and was playing the victim and it was like a repeat of Shangela and Alyssa all over again. Girl bye..

 

[Gentleheart]

Well, it looks they're both trying not to laugh. (And failing.)

lol yep. they were cracking up at Laganja's mimicking Alyssa.

It was such a cute little moment between them.

 

[JockTalk]

For whatever reason, I really like this season's contestants. I don't think they are boring at all and each is unique.

And no, Australian or not, Courtney's response to Joslyn was not constructive, caring criticism. It was a slight. Let's face it, Courtney isn't exactly on top and her cut at Joslyn was her own way of feeling better about herself and her position.

 

[Native Son]

Joslyn: I'm rooting for her, but her performance was mediocre at best, and her make-up was rough.

I love that clip they show when she snorts when she laughs. And the editors always manage to use it to such dazzling effect. Ha! Ha!

Trust me, it really wasn't. If it was a slight she wouldn't have offered the use of her wardrobe. And to be fair, Joslyn's look isn't as polished as the others, as proven by the fact the she went out in almost the same barely there bikini look after being read for it the week before.

Being honest to someone and offering the use of your own wardrobe if you need help is hardly being a bitch.

If she'd made the comment "you look like shit, and need to lift your game" and then offered no help, I'd agree that Courtney was being a bitch.
