I think it serves to reinforce what most black officers know deep down, but refuse to accept, that it does not matter if you have a badge or gun. It does not matter if you take a blow or a bullet for one of your fellow ‘brothers in blue’. You can treat black folks and other PoC like complete shit, laugh at the racist…

It’d be one thing to say Utica is an asshole which, maybe? Maybe Utica is on the Lea Michele side of the theater geek spectrum. But some of these reactions are SOOO over the top.

With this I will kindly but completely— and hopefully respectfully — disagree. The best thing about Kandy — by far — for me is the fact that she is completely and unapologetically herself. Ru and the Drag Race producers haven’t done themselves any favours by artificially limiting contestant eligibility to outdated…

Um...

That was the first age I actually typed! I had to change it to 40 because of Raja, Bianca and Jaida.

The problem with Utica’s jokes is that they just weren’t funny.

*thirty

Just because you’re being “punk” doesn’t mean that you can’t be a complete and total asshole while engaging in boundary-pushing behaviour. Here, that was unacceptable. Whatever her motivations might have been, Utica miscalculated and she really should feel badly about that roast. But this is going to follow her…

Fat jokes are the last refuge of cowards. Why think up something genuinely funny when you can go after the low-hanging fruit? The only thing tolerated more widely and openly, and particularly on this show, is ageism. Seriously, everyone over the age of forty is treated as the Joke Candidate. I still hear you, Tamisha!

As a large person myself, I don’t mind “fat jokes” in the context of a roast. There were plenty of jokes in that realm from other queens that at least made everyone laugh (references to Nina’s size/broad shoulders, Ross getting sexually aroused by pizza, etc.) because they were delivered well and were original enough…

(Best Alaska voice): “Burn”

Now this is an interesting thing to debate. I don’t really think that Kandy is Ru’s personal pick or protege this season; her “Kandy, I’m not ready for you to leave yet!” double save was actually pretty cruel in the way she delivered it. Her edit — at least through the first half of the season — was also terrible and…

Olivia’s schtick was so annoying I would have put her in the bottom for that; I feel like the only reason Ru had Symone lip sync was to give her a little kick in the butt heading into the final stretch. No way she was going to keep Utica over Symone.

Honest, I do have. You have deja vues of people that were nasty, I have deja vues of people that were on the spectrum or just not good at social clues. 

Okay, but it’s doubtful that RuPaul would have known that. This is also something that we’ve seen in a number of other seasons: queens being eliminated right before a challenge that would seem to play to their strengths. I have no doubt that Ru and the producers use their decision of who to put in the bottom two in…

The problem is Comedy Central has tainted what roasts used to be. It used to be comedians being roasted by their friends and contemporaries. Now it’s celebrities being roasted by comedians and D-list celebrities who don’t even know them and there’s no love. It’s just all mean all the time and trying to get a bigger…

Now that we are playing cheap Freud, have you ever met someone who doesn't get social cues?

I still believe that Utica reminds you of someone that was the trigger for your origin story because what the hell 

I concur.

Any other queen wearing a fucking body suit with a blow up doll sewn to it would’ve been read to filth. I cannot believe they just shrugged it off. It was the laziest Halloween costume I’ve ever seen.
