First of all, this show really is so much more fun when viewed at a gay bar. The energy was incredibly infectious.

Valentina is no filler queen; I'm an LA gurl, and she gets fucking tipped up the wazoo at shows here (and she can really turn a dramatic lip sync)

So…I think JT honestly, for his own reputation's sake, mightve been best served by not playing anymore after Tocantins, because wow is his Survivor legacy just marred by bad moves so far. He played the night all wrong and now has his one ally on his tribe left, and I wouldn't even count on him doing well if he…

To be fair, I think that Cirie would be more visible if she weren't basically being given bye weeks the whole time. I wouldn't count her out just yet…

plus, whats the most haunting about him as a villain is that he has the entire town behind him; he's a representative of the mainstream in that context

This is more common with reality shows I think; ANTM went from UPN to the CW to VH1, RuPaul's Drag Race is making a slow transition from Logo to VH1 (having been simulcast on VH1 and Logo), and, of course, Project Runway got into a huge legal stink in transitioning from Bravo to Lifetime

not really. There will always been a steady supply of queens from NYC and LA and Puerto Rico, plus there are certain markets that haven't really been tapped into yet; Tatianna is so far the only DC queen to make it on, and Honey Mahogany is the only SF queen to do so, for instance. Surely they dont comprise the…

Exactly! Plus, it carries significance as both a message of "fuck you, we exist" and as a reminder that some art forms will always remain intrinsically queer

I hear conflicting rumors on this one

the beauty of drag race is that we see more authentic flamboyance, not just flamboyance filtered through what straight guys think of gay people

oh no, not the NASTYPIG commercials!

the show is airing at 8pm now, well before peak bar hours.

it's because Viacom is ̶a̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶t̶s̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶n̶o̶w̶ reducing it's channel count

I don't know, I put in all my chips on Fencelight winning, so thats gonna kill me in the oscar pools

and, poetically enough, playing Margaret White in the infamous musical adaptation of Carrie, considered one of Broadway's biggest bombs of all time (I saw a revival in DC that was heavily rewritten, and it wasn't that bad actually)

grandmother? or….GRANDMANTA?

gotcha

are you questioning the talent of Lucian "AIDSy Hobo Dick" Piane?

When Lucy was better at dealing with the other spelling of "Mame"

When "Here's Lucy" sounded like a threat
