I'm sorry, I cannot get behind Pearl as a winner, or even a top 3 contender. I get that not every queen has to be a big ball of pep and energy, but I don't get what she had to offer that would make her a winner. She had funny moments, but she was not funnier than Katya or Ginger. She had some cool looks, but they…

"but it's christmas!" (flops around my legs)

"BUT I DIDN'T DIE! I CRYSTALLIZED!"

In all honesty, Adele was fine, but nowhere near the pantheon levels of greatness seen in, say, Jinx's Little Edie or Chad's Cher. Her best performance to me is still her John Waters performance.

best response to one of these trolls ive ever seen

I have to say, I really liked the final lip sync twist they had this time. It kept things entertaining in what I was fearing would be a deadly dull reunion, and it actually restored some faith in the Minj for me. I also loved how Violet basically looked like Dita von Teese had a lovechild with one of the Cell Block…

oh i remember the singing….
but yeah, that's actually super interesting, i'd not heard that anecdote before

Eh, I kind of lump that in as part of producer manipulation, but that is also a generally good point.

oh of course. this show almost has more shameless producer manipulation than RuPaul's Drag Race.

"living cartoon characters" is a great descriptor for lots of memorable survivor contestants - mr. former federal agent springs to mind immediately

"ah fuck, not this shit again"

That's completely fair. For me, because I just love musical theatre in general, and have been a musical theatre kid myself, Jinkx is somebody I can identify with, and I find myself most drawn to that style of singing/acting/performing. However, I think at a certain level, who one's favorite queen is depends entirely…

If there was any season where there deserved to be a tie between two queens, it was season 5

I KIND OF LIKE THE SMEELLLLLL OF EEEEET!

See, I've gotten into arguments about this before, and my main point is this: i don't care as much about the look if a queen is talented. Jinkx Monsoon may not be a fashionista (though I think she does have a visual style of her own), she may be the most talented queen in terms of singing, acting, and creating…

i mean, much as I dislike some of her shade, she has some good points about how the gay community can be shitty towards bigger men sometimes

more like "bitch I am from chicago!"

as much as I'm not a fan of ginger, this is below the belt #fatandproud

wait is that the gimmick for next season, or is Ru doing a separate drag race for the UK? given casting timelines i assumed the latter

she'll always have her challenge win. as well as her "ewwwww!"
