Neither Coco nor Alyssa are particularly great actors. Their reactions to seeing each other in the first episode had a "silent film acting" element to it — I'm surprised one of them didn't swoon and fall onto a fainting couch. It felt trumped up then, it feels like a desperate grab for airtime now. I look forward to…
My feeling is that queens like Jinkx know that they aren't going to win in the end, but that they go on as sort of a platform to reach a broader audience, and maybe win a cruise or something. She's basically advertising the Jinkx brand, and doing a hell of a job at it: I know I'm definitely a fan now.
At least Yara didn't wear them during the talking head segments.
That's the thing: the other queens sniffing that he performed as a boy were the boring queens who were safe. I would not tune in to a kid's television show with Ivy Winters or Honey Mahogany: both of them are so dull I get angry about it. I would watch one that featured Alaska, as boy, girl, or other.
Both Coco and Alyssa were much less odious this week, although I'm thinking that's mostly because Serena's odiousness was outshining everyone else's.
So far, Ivy is overshadowed a bit by more compelling personalities for me. Her runway look was amazing this week, but so far she just hasn't struck me.
Willam was kicked off because she downloaded RuPaul's albums illegally. Ru will forgive a lot of things, but music piracy is not one of them!
So, in Untucked: Alyssa is a "plus-sized queen"? Seriously?
It wasn't drag, he wasn't a drag queen. But I do think it was drag-adjacent — Raja's purple people eater mask, for instance, was definitely in a Leigh Bowery vein. I'm just much more interested in something arty and abstracted and out-there than another boring boy trying to imitate Beyonce.
I'm already putting on my lashes.
Fudgie the Whale: I never even knew he was in the Cruiser's Creek video, which is ridiculous, because I love The Fall. I watched it, and was giddy. When you see how outrageous he was with it, how sort of abstract the idea of drag became with him, most of these queens who go on about how outre and artistic they are…
That's exactly it. It reads as fake as hell because sometimes they hit that feud really hard, until suddenly they don't. Make up your damn minds and stick to it.
Leigh Bowery she is not.
No lie, I've been waiting for the return of this comment section since December.
Manila needs a TV show. She has style, she has personality, MAKE IT HAPPEN WORLD!
Manila is the queen of hats.
Dee Snyder was a more convincing drag queen.
That lip-sync was SAD. Even if you don't think you'll end up in the bottom two, learn the words. Or at least fake it: "Watermelon, watermelon, peas and carrots, peas and carrots."
The sooner we can jettison Alyssa and Coco into space, the better. They are both completely charmless, appear to be not particularly interesting as drag queens, and this trumped-up feud is completely ridiculous. Yes, there have been rivalries in previous seasons, but they didn't come readymade: they developed as…
