RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 Thread!

[TotallyEffed]

Bob, Thorgy, and Chi Chi are my top three right now. 

Was anyone else howling with laughter at Bob's runway...shuffle? My friends and I had tears in our eyes.

Steve C. said: "I can't find RuPaul this time around. Where is it? Did Logo lose it? All I can see are Golden Girls reruns?

It's still on Logo.....Monday nights, I think.  (I usually watch it OnDemand).

[Cupid Boy2]

The episodes aren't posted until the next day online, though, which is why you may have had trouble finding it yesterday.

Beginning with episode two, LOGO's been making me sign in with my cable provider password in order to access full episodes. Not a big deal, except it gets hissy if I do it from too many devices.

Anyone watch Untucked yet? I like a lot of what she's done on the show, but god Acid Betty is so tiresome. She's so blatantly trying to be the villain, and while that's definitely working, I can't see how anyone would want to see her when she's trying so hard to be nasty to everyone.

[Cupid Boy2]

I was thrilled she got picked last for this week's challenge, and I think Michelle made a good point about her look becoming predictable at this point. 

[JerseyGirl2]

Betty commented on Trixie's paint three times, just trying to get a reaction. I mean, make the comment. Fine. Trixie's look doesn't appeal to everyone. Just don't do it REPEATEDLY while another queen (one who has seriously pulled the heartstrings already) is getting an emotional message from her best friend.

I'm so glad Derrick called her out for that, too- and was backed up by Bob.

[Lavieboheme3090]

That moment gave me a little much more respect for Derrick that had for the last few weeks, because she it totally right when she said "It's not for YOU to get."

Meanwhile, Mama Ru had a candid interview with NY Magazine. He does not mince words at all.

Great interview with Cynthia.  She was apparently diagnosed with liver cancer as soon as she returned to Austin. She casts a very different filtered light on Betty.

Naysha went home after lip-syncing to... Call Me. Heh. 

[Jordan Catalano]

Another great episode. And on Untucked, Naysha made me cry with what she did for ChiChi and again, Betty is proving herself to be a lot nicer than she leads people to believe she is.

[wonderfulwizard11]

Such a fun episode- especially since the singing challenge is almost always painful at best. I was very surprised that Chi Chi was in the bottom- yes, her outfit wasn't very exciting, but she was the clear standout of her group, unlike Derrick, who thus far has offered nothing interesting other than being a Britney look-alike. 

[JerseyGirl2]

This Untucked is just great. This season is full of great personalities. Each week I love Betty more and more. I am feeling Thorgy and Chi Chi and maybe Bob rounding out top three. I know many were going gaga over Kim's look this week, but I didn't love it. It would be really cool in a still photo, but the very brief runway didn't do much for it. Then, backstage, the black side of her face was a mess. I don't see her going all the way.

[Cupid Boy2]

Derrick came off as so clueless on last night's episode, and I can't help but feel that he's been given a free pass to get him at least as far as the snatch game. His entire performance fell flat, and it's been all Britney talk each week. If week after week Michelle is going to complain he needs to offer something beyond that, I don't know where she thinks he's suddenly going to pull an entirely new persona from. Then again, with these producers, a revelation of some kind for him may be a part of his storyline. 

[JerseyGirl2]

I bet this struck a strange chord...

[JerseyGirl2]

In the sneak peek for next week, Derrick is just as bad, if not worse. He doesn't see that the snide remarks he makes are snide. His delivery, and maybe it's just his insecurity coming to the surface, makes each little shady comment sound like he is dead serious. He thinks his shade comes across like Bob, Robbie or even Betty's shade, but it doesn't. He certainly can't take criticism. He brags about his feedback every week. He finds the ONE person who says something positive and acts like it was better than anyone else's. The mama bear in me sees a little boy who knows he's way out of his league. Thorgy and Bob have both said in live viewing events that Derrick is very nice and they like him a great deal, but that he's an odd duck.

 

If any of you are in Chicage or NYC, you should go to one of the viewing parties. They are apparently a riot. Kim Chi hosted one last night in Chicago and boy Betty showed up. They were both apparently darling and stayed until every photo was taken and every fan was greeted. Bob and Thorgy are doing the same in NYC.

[Jordan Catalano]

Man, I can't wait for the outrage/backlash/ against Thorgy's Michael Jackson on Snatch Game next week. So much millennial rage on the horizon!

[newintown]

Re: Untucked - I thought it was absolutely hilarious that, when Debbie Harry and Chris showed up backstage, Kim, Robbie, and Naomi just SAT there. Girls, when entertainment royalty enters the room, you LEAP to your feet!

[TotallyEffed]

I also thought Kim Chi's aggressively sexual comments to Debbie Harry were really strange and uncomfortable.

[newintown]

Kim Chi's looks are pure art, but there's something weird going on in her head...

[wonderfulwizard11]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Kim seems like a sweetheart, but I though the comments were totally unnecessary, and it seemed like Debbie was pretty uncomfortable with them as well.

[Kad]

I think Kim Chi is immature, more than anything else.

[Cupid Boy2]

I agree. From what we've heard about her backstory, it's pretty clear that she grew up rather sheltered.
