So assuming Ms. Lake dries up next week, it'll be Bianca vs. The Idols for the final three. How sensational! How dramatic! How utterly, utterly contrived.

I know it's tradition, but why are we still doing makeover shows? Most episodes we're trying to identify all the great moments, but the makeover one always leaves us struggling to find the mediocre ones.

That… was glorious. Michelle still looks good for her age.

I think that if they had done same-sex couples that there could've been foreseen problems. Dragging-out a lesbian couple would've brought comments about forcing women to conform to societal norms about what a bride should look like (as well as being a little too much like a Drag-U challenge) and putting one (or both)…

You almost want a "dead" guest to put the queens on the spot. Nothing worse than watching a talk show where the host reads some pre-prepared question that launches the guest into a segment-killing stand-up bit that requires no input from the person behind the desk. Anyone can interview Robin Williams, but getting gold…

This time change is going to mess with me. There's no way I can stay up until 11:30 to watch Untucked; I'll be so jazzed it'd take forever to fall asleep (and us old farts need our sleep). But the AV Club write-up and watching the comments unfold in real time is my favorite part of Tuesday, so staying ignorant of the…

It'll probably be back, after they've had time to properly tweak it. Most likely with some special (i.e. previously cut) workroom footage and some new voiceover. They just can't ignore it, especially for the season pass/DVD release.

It's been a helluva week, so I just had time to watch the comedy episode. I tell ya, knowing Lasagna was going home made it all the more fun!

It's interesting watching her. "Ben" has a very guy voice and cadence while "DeLa" also has a specific tone and beat. The other queens seem to keep the same voice for the most part in or out of drag, but BenDeLaCreme almost never seems to break character. I don't know if there's a stage in the make-up/dressing where…

I think Oliver nailed it. There is no off-screen Darienne, or at least she isn't willing to let her come out. Whether it's the large-queen defensive shield or some calculated ploy I can't figure out yet.

I only managed to catch the runway section last night (I am a bad Drag Race watcher and I apologize), so it'll be interesting to go back and watch the beginning and see how the story gets spun. I can't say I'm surprised that Milk reached its sell-by date. She and Trin are just cannon fodder at this point. To be…

Again we all bow in awe at the power of RPDR editors. Those bitches could make it seem like Mother Theresa was a two-bit whore out looking to give a quick beej to a syphilitic mime given enough random footage.

You can be on a budget and do well if you've got the C, U, N, and T for it. On the flip side, all the money in the world can turn a dead fish like Laganja into fine sushi.

I get the feeling the given a few years of experience, some basic lessons in make-up and style, and some coaching that Milk could've been a hell of a contender. But right now she just seemed too easily truly hurt. The look on her face when it was obvious that she was in the bottom two was shocking. She's got some…

What really bothered me was the bad blending job on Milk's bald cap. Are there no lace-front bald caps?

My guess is its a three day cycle. Day 1: mini-challenge and start prep for main challenge. Day 2: more work on main challenge and film it if it's a non-runway challenge. Day 3: entirely about the runway. That would be two cycles a week and about a month and a half for principal filming. Sounds about right.

I would be all about Milk if she had the balls to back up her look. But anytime someone gives her criticism that doesn't fall into the read category - she just seems to disappear. I really think she's horribly insecure about her drag. If she went full glam and failed she would feel awful. But by skating on the thin…

DeLa seems to be getting the Alaska edit this season, "oh no, I'm in trouble!/oh wait, I rocked this shit." Whether it's her doing or the producer's decision I'm not sure yet.

One day I'd like to read a behind-the-scenes article on RPDR. The timing, the planning, when they shoot what, how long things take, etc. But then again I'm as geek like that.

Season 5? Lil' Poundcake. 'nuff said.
