I can't remember anything before Trixie getting eliminated. [Mentally plays montage of Trixie clips set to Sarah McLachlan's I Will Remember You.]

And Coco was such a good lip syncher that even though I never wanted to hear about THE PAGEANT! and THE BETRAYAL! again, I couldn't argue with her staying. She slayed it every time. Kandy Ho was incredibly lucky that Kasha slurred her words.

Oh my goodness. Why isn't Fame getting the redemption arc edit? Because I've never liked her much but I'm Team Fame after all the chicken details. I want a Trinity-style "I'm not a singer, I'm not an actor, I'm not a comedian, I AM a prize chicken breeder."

Someone suggested this last season with Milk, and I think it's time to consider it with Pearl: is it possible that Pearl is so hot as a boy that she gets nothing but praise?

It's a transparent attempt and it just as transparently didn't work. I get it, Ru- you liked Trinity's big moment last season. I liked Trinity's big moment, we all liked Trinity's big moment. You can't just pick a girl at random and make that lightening strike twice. All this does is make me irritated at Ru and…

This. It's also a moment that's echoed a few seasons later with Lane. Don lives by this completely brutal code (destroy and forget, decide to be a completely new person) that no one can live by- including Don, who has ruined almost every relationship in his life due largely to this worldview. It's the only thing…

I've only heard gay rumors. And there was a story (lawsuit?) about him making aggressive sexual advances to his male masseuse. And the sadder rumor that his son might have died because they weren't giving him his Scientology-discouraged, medically necessary meds.

Wright's book made it sound like Scientology has convinced him he's a prophet/minor deity. It was creepily clever: what do you give the guy who has unlimited wealth and popular adulation? The illusion of spiritual greatness. The book also argued that being an A-list movie star has warped him to the point where he's…

I think it's already started. I can't wait til the 100 comment long LISA DOESN'T NEED BRACES- WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?! thread.

It's not explicitly pro-Communist- set hundreds of years pre-Marx, how could it be? But one of the main themes is that the needs and desires of the individual should be completely subsumed to the greater good. It's not just nationalist (go local team!)- the message is unambiguously the current Chinese government's…

It made me imagine Jessica Alba at the factory, walking around with the executives who spent a year narrowing it down to 3 scents so JA can "pick" one. In my imagination, these executive spend the whole day rolling their eyes behind her back and pointing finger guns at their temples. Like that episode of Hey Paula.

*Hops*
*Twirls*
*Inexplicably tears off wig*
*Grins*

I genuinely don't get the argument that Pearl was choosing to do some kind of brilliant, Debby Harry-inspired performance piece. Pearl did the same thing she always does and it kinda fit in with the song if you squint. Pearl would have given the same energy and attitude to a pop song, a country ballad, a soul…

My dream brought back from the dead guest judge would be Joan Crawford, a biological woman who basically lived her entire public life as one giant drag performance. I feel like she would be cruelly cutting, incredibly insightful, and weirdly supportive all at the same time- the best kind of Drag Race judge!

He is always gorgeous, though every season I enjoy his look of bewilderment when some of the queens turn out to be terrible at singing. Yes, Lucian, when you choose 12 people who don't sing for a living, you end up with at least 4 who are terrible singers.

All of this fuckery with every decision made last night has overshadowed how unintentionally hilarious Jessica Alba was. There's a snatch game character for ya- "I picked the scent!"

Yes, Ru broke everyone's bracket last night. Did I say that right? Sports ball, sports ball, go go go!

Pearl was punk in a Sid Vicious "I'm doing this badly and I don't even care" kind of way… Too mean? I'm just so sad about Trixie.

Yeah, I don't love to hate her (like Roxxxy or Phi Phi), I just want her off my TV (like Serena Cha Cha).

Her bitchface is truly something to behold.
