RuPaul’s Drag Race - Season 13- Page 5

If you haven't seen... The Joey nudes out there I implore that you all seek them out...

Also, live for the shout outs to Tandi!

Tina Burner just needs to go , hopefully in a double elimination with Kandy

[CT2NYC]

I thought Tamisha should have been in the top. Denali's "Vamp" look was her only decent one of the night, while the other 3 were very ill-fitting, and I'm already getting serious "Jan" vibes from Rosé: great singing voice, polished entertainer, but with fashion choices that just look "off." Also, for the final runway, both of them wore a basic cheap-looking pump. Not impressed.

>and I'm already getting serious "Jan" vibes from Rosé: great singing voice, polished entertainer, but with fashion choices that just look "off."

WHAT!? Rose like Jan!? That's crazy talk!

Yeah I agree... they're both Drag Queens who have strong Musical Theatre Kid Energy and bankroll to buy expensive stuff with limited fashion eye on WHAT to buy.

I’m over the singing drag queens who just use a falsetto mix belt. I just don’t like how it sounds. Same for Jan and Courtney Act.

Rosé and Jan may be in the same girl group, but they have very different voices. Rosé is not nearly as much of a screlter.

The first segment of episode 4 has been posted on youtube.

If Symone doesn’t win I’ll be shocked.

She was perfection. That said, it is the same kind of “Schtick.” But it’s funny. Same with Kandy.

Surprised Joey Jay got a pass. I forgot she was even there.

[ColorTheHours048]

Symone. Symone. Symone.

The look, the performance, the charisma. I mean, top notch. That being said, she can’t sew (as is shown in the preview for next week). Not that there haven’t been contestants who couldn’t sew in the past who didn’t pull out a great look in the end, but it’s definitely a huge stumbling block this early on. I’m sure she’ll be fine.

Some of these queens need an acting class. And stat.

[TotallyEffed]

Extremely entertaining episode, despite the horrendous writing that has plagued the acting challenge episodes for the last four or five seasons. I was smiling the whole episode, this is the best cast in a while. Even Ru seems to be having a great time.

Symone is clearly the front runner, she has charisma and confidence for days, and a fantastic fashion sense. Absolutely love her.

Excited to see what Tina will do, been a big fan of hers for ten years now. She is a New York legend.

Not feeling Denali but the lipsync was excellent!

[Jordan Catalano]

Sorry but the sooner Tina goes, the better. She might be a NYC legend but that’s not translating into good TV. And that’s a problem the show has faced a number of times - someone who is supposed to be amazing will come on and be completely underwhelming yet be kept around for longer than they should simply because of reputation.

I loved whoever it was saying what an annoying voice Elliott had and they couldn’t stand hearing her talk, while Kandy is running around screeching all over the place.

I enjoyed this episode though a hell of a lot more than this weeks UK. But I wanna say this and it’s just something that I can’t believe still needs to be said. When you feel like you’re ready to audition for this show you need to have already started taking acting and singing lessons along with already knowing AT LEAST the basics of how to sew a garment. 13 years into this sh*t I have no sympathy for people who complain about any of that. You’re auditioning for a competition where you’ll have to do ALL THREE of those. No excuses.

[CT2NYC]

I understand why Denail won, but I preferred the sultriness of Kamorah's lip sync. Yes, it was very low-energy, but it was more technically accurate, and I guess I just wasn't as impressed by Denali's over-the-top performance. To me, it came across as unpolished and scattered. I get that she didn't want to go home, but I thought the all the flailing was too much.

[ArtMan]

I didn't get to see the episode (ironically went to a drag show instead), but did a search for the lip sync based on what CT2NYC stated.  I agree.  Even though I used to dance the crap out of this song back in the day, I enjoyed Kamorah's interpretation better.  With that gown she wore (don't know if it was a yes or no by the judges) was gorgeous and just went so well with her performance.  I thought Denali's performance was silly, with doing all the jumping around.  And that wig was hideous.  Every time RuPaul and the judges laugh at these dance moves, I sit in my bed at home stone faced.   I just don't get it.

[Jordan Catalano]

Who the hell is having a drag show?!?!

And during untucked, Kamorah mentioned how she was first unable to move in that dress, so I guess that explains the lipsync.

[CT2NYC]

Yes, the laughter made no sense, because it wasn't a comedy routine that was going for laughs. The only reason it would be construed as funny is because of how silly and embarrassing she made herself look. They were desperate "don't send me home" dance moves. Some queens can pull it off, but not her.

Jordan, Our bars and clubs have been opened for months.  Hamburger Mary's, where I went, (food, bar and drag) was only closed for a short time while the other bars and clubs were forced to close for months. Tiffany, remember her?  Did a show last week and sold so well, has two other dates booked in February.    As I have mentioned in other threads, we are also having concerts (smaller venues) with masks, social distancing and fewer tickets sold.  The prices of tickets are sky high.  Performers who were lucky to sell a $40 ticket are getting three times that much.  And they are selling out.  Most of our movie theatres, except Regal, have been opened for months also.

[SouthernCakes]

In the South we are having shows too! Saw LaLa Ri at an outdoor venue on New Years!

I still love Tina (maybe because everyone else hates her I want to cheer her on) and I love Kandy.

Hall might be the first one out but she left some great memories! Her song verse was so bad it’s legendary.

I’m surprised Joey Jay wasn’t called out. I legit forgot he was in the challenge.

[Jordan Catalano]

JFC they’re still counting the number of people going into grocery stores here in NYC and y’all are having drag shows??

[Huss417]

Same in CT. Had to wait outside at Whole Foods and Trader Joes. I think for the time being I prefer waiting then letting everyone in at once. 

[JP2]

Kandy is a laugh riot. And gorgeous. Hope she makes it far.

Tina has been one of my favorite drag queens for years. Absolutely funny, amazing stage presence and a consummate professional. But as someone mentioned, being a good drag queen does not equal being good at Drag Race. Either way, hope she continues to do well!

[SouthernCakes]

Yeah! Our cases have gone down! I mean all the bars and stuff are open just have to wear masks when you’re inside places. 
 

I get it for nyc though! Spaces are far smaller. Easier to eat at a restaurant here and not be near people.

NYC has been having outdoor drag shows since May...

Nothing sounds as exciting as seeing an outdoor drag show in the city in February. :)

[CT2NYC]

FYI, Nina West is hosting Stars in the House tomorrow night, with guests Alan Menken, Lea Salonga, Jodi Benson, and Paige O'Hara
