RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 Thread!

[bjh2114]

Predictions for tonight ladies and gents?  I haven't heard a single thing about this episode, so we could be in for a big surprise.

[Jordan Catalano]

It's a tribute to STRANGERS WITH CANDY, so I'm f'in stoked!

[JerseyGirl2]

I NEED Derrick to go home tonight. I am going to try to remain unspoiled and see it in the morning. We'll see.

 

Katya's Hey Qween is on YouTube and this bitch is just hysterical.

[Kad]

This is a construction challenge, so I anticipate that Chi Chi and Derrick would be at a major disadvantage here.

[Cupid Boy2]

And I could see that benefiting Naomi given the chance it'll give her to continue to surprise the judges with the looks she can put together. I've really taken to her these past two weeks.

[JerseyGirl2]

I can't wait to see what Kim Chi makes. Bob, too, for that matter.

[JerseyGirl2]

Ohhh, yeah. The title is Book Ball. I assumed, likely wrongly, that they would be taking classic lit as inspiration. In the preview, there are copies of Ru & Michelle's books all over the place. Total missed opportunity.

[Kad]

Considering that a lot of queens on this show have been barely able to read each other, let alone words on a page, a classic literature-based challenge would seem to be reaching a bit.

[JerseyGirl2]

That would have been part of the fun!

[Roscoe]

Has Derrick even heard of STRANGERS WITH CANDY?

[Kad]

I would be shocked if any of the queens who aren't named Bob the Drag Queen are familiar with it.

[Jordan Catalano]

Sad, because you KNOW that Thorgy would kill a Jerri Blank impression. 

[Jordan Catalano]

OMG, this interview with Katya is like performance art. Lol

I am amazed at how gorgeous Chi Chi's outfit was.  I actually liked hers and Naomi's better than Kim Chi's, but all 3 were excellent.

[TotallyEffed]

Chi Chi is still my favorite. Derrick might be the worst queen of all time. At least Phi Phi was fun to watch because she was so hateful. Derrick is just stupid and impossible to communicate with. She makes me groan every time she talks. Insufferable. Ding dong!

[RentBoy86]

I thought Kim Chi was a revelation in her looks. But she's all about the 'looks." I dont think I'd need to see her perform. But she's got a great eye for art and I'm interested to see what else she does. 

Bob was great in the lip-synch. These white bitches have no soul.

I am really happy with this outcome. Acid Betty was asked in an interview who from the cast might have to go into witness protection and she said, "Derrick Barry," so there was a lot of speculation that he sent a popular queen home. I was worried for Bob for a second before the first line of the song. Then I thought, "She's got this." I guess Acid just meant that no one would like Derrick. I am still bitter that she outlasted Thorgy. I would have loved to see what she brought to the Book Ball.

And, I just watched Untucked:

Poor Derrick has to be the most delusional queen ever to have graced the runway... 

 

[Cupid Boy2]

Wow, with the four we have left now, I have no idea who'll be leaving us next week. I think the type of challenge the queens are presented with will really be the determining factor in that. As always, Bob is the only sure bet. 

[Roscoe]

At least Derrick had some talents -- his Britneyabilities were beyond question, and he rose to the occasion with Bob during those political ads.  For me the worst queen ever is still the unspeakable Delta Work -- mean, vicious, cruel, stupid and devoid of any interest at all.  Even Roxxy Andrews had that moment of unassailable genius when she took off her wig to reveal another wig.

[Kad]

This is a very strong top 4. I would really be happy with any of them taking the crown, honestly, though Bob remains my favorite.

[Roscoe]

Yes, Bob's my clear favorite too.  

[rosscoe(au)]

Slightly drunk at this stage, but you know Derrick kind of came into his own in the last few esps ... Not the worst ever 

[Cupid Boy2]

To echo what someone earlier in the thread said, Bob is smart. Not only is he the most compelling performer, but I think he would also be the best choice to represent RuPaul's brand. You can tell he studied up and dissected the way this show operates. When it came time to give the producers that vulnerability they always crave, he was prepared to give away that part of himself and didn't hold back this week talking about his mother. He showed up knowing what would be expected of him, and he's been delivering since day one. The same cannot be said for the three other girls remaining, but they are all still wonderful in their own right.

Worst eyebrows ever, though.

 

[JerseyGirl2]

Ooooh, I still don't like Delta. 

 

I would be happy with any of the four being top 3 and even taking the crown. As Cupid said, I think Bob is the best to represent the show and will do the most with the title. I just love the cast this year.

Bitch you are missing out. Delta is a national treasure with a wit quicker than Bianca.
