I'm surprised to see how many people hate Desi. It seemed to me that he was always intended as an obnoxious buffoon, like Ace. I don't think they ever intended for us to have an emotional investment in him.

You're absolutely right about the current state of gay assimilation. There's an idea right now (mostly perpetuated by the gay community) that you're expected to act and behave exactly like straight people. That's one of the reasons why I'm so happy to see a show like Drag Race thrive, where gay men aren't forcing…

It wasn't his direction that distracted me in the music videos so much as the fact that they were shot with the same cameras as the show, which made them look cheap and a little tacky.

Thank you for the Nomi reference. My drag race Make-A-Wish dream is for them to one day have a Showgirls-themed challenge. #DancinAintFuckin

I love Kim Chi to death, but she really did blow that challenge. Not only did she miss most of the steps, but her lip syncing was inconsistent and unconvincing. The fact that the show and the fans want her to succeed so badly made it easy to overlook the fact that she probably should've been in the bottom two. And I…

I didn't expect to like Derrick going into this season, but she's grown on me. But that might be because she was hardly in this week's episode.

I don't know if the exchange regarding the iconic nature of the song was pre-planned, but I definitely think it was included in the final edit to give justification to the double elimination.

Just speculating, but he probably got a screener of the episode and pre-wrote the recap before it aired.

Robbie is, to me, the first Meet The Queens-related disappointment this season. I liked her so much in that video, but her crappy attitude thus far is a little off-putting.

The credible rumor is that (SPOILER ALERT) the queen coming into the competition is a heretofore unseen contestant named Skarlet Starlet.

LOL, #DesperationStripping

I agree. Her whole schtick was based around "telling it like it is" but "it" was never particularly interesting or original.

I think Pearl had some issues that prevented her from really working to her potential in that season. But having said that, I have no doubt that if she didn't look the way she looks, she would have never gotten the same opportunities for redemption throughout the season and would've been kicked off pretty quickly for…

That's the tricky thing about Drag Race. While she was incredibly talented, her personality made it hard to root for her. I could see someone who's never seen the show being absolutely blown away by a drag performance of hers, and wondering why she lost the crown. But those of us who saw the show (and what the…

Wait, is he still on the show? I forgot he existed until I saw this comment, and I was pretty drunk last week while waiting for the premiere to come on the Logo app, so I might've missed it if he made an appearance.

Speaking of Michelle, she seems a lot more kind and encouraging this year. Last season, she really reached her nadir of bitchiness. It's nice to see that she's working harder to combat that image because it was something that was heavily commented on with S8. I like my Michelle Visage to be bitchy but not cruel, which…

You're right. Ginger always tried to justify being a bitch, which is the hallmark of a true, dyed-in-the-wool bitch. Bianca, who was also a bitch, at least owned it and was likable because of that. Acid Betty doesn't seem to have the same self-awareness about her behavior and how she comes across as either of those…

With Thorgy's big curly brown hair and circular eyeglasses, I've taken to calling her "Gay Gay Abrams" every time she does a confessional.

The party city line?
