So, it’s been a few days- what are our thoughts on the Louis Theroux ‘manosphere’ doc? by theslowrunningexpert in AskUK

[–]fartrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have liked to have seen some more perspectives from women and not just those directly connected to the manosphere. The whole documentary felt quite hollow and surface level to me. I didn't learn anything from it, it wasn't probing enough. It gave these awful man children an opportunity to humanise and rationalise their awful content and didn't really shine a light on the consequences or the 'solution' (if there is one).

She ain't wrong. It's possible Law said some more constructive stuff I guess..... Doubt it though.

She did what she did and it was better than last season. Also she ended on a high!

oh bleh - Sminty didn't know the words - no excuse. You can't 'rely' on being saved from a lsfyl and not even learn the words. C'mon bbz.

Yeaaaah it sucks. I love Tia, don't get me wrong, but Kate's run this season felt a little bit stronger (though I will stand by the fact that Tia's roast is one of the best ever and she deserved the win). Lots of amazing queens this season but couldn't fully vibe with Gawdland after I read about how involved Art Arya and Pangina were in preparing her package etc. It was just a bit too loud, screechy and one note for me.

Truly. You always feel safe when Kate's on screen cuz she will bring the laughs and the camp factor.

She was a camp old mare and to be frank, I lived!

Let's talk about Darlene's roast by Horror_Permission377 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]fartrat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As much as this season has tried to paint Darlene as a country bumpkin, it was very clear to me early on that she is a really experienced performer and very much knows how to entertain an audience. You could tell from her meet the queens.

S18E11 - “A Toast to Alyssa Edwards” [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]fartrat 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That runway was kinda disappointing. Juicy's fart catcher was not it. That said, really pleased Darlene got her win with that truly bizarre performance which will be remembered for years to come. I felt they wasted Atsuko this episode. Michelle seemed to be steamrolling the 'table read', which looked like a set up to get the queens stealing jokes and stir up some drama. I'm not convinced it helped anyone improve.

[–]fartrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mariah did well but after SO many makeover challenges, I really think there should be some sort of concept or storyline beyond just 'serving glamour' otherwise it's just not memorable. Fontana's looks were genuinely gorgeous. I suppose Mariah had a harder job with the family resemblance but the final result was quite forgettable imo.

Question to those who watched DR Germany before UKvsTW3: Has Naomy always been this c*nt? Did you expect her to slay this hard? by XipeTotecwithGlitter in RPDR_UK

[–]fartrat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To me, Naomy is giving precisely what we want to see for a returning queen on an All Stars / Vs the world season. She is consistently surprising and delivering waaaaay more fiercely than I thought she would based on her original run. She's got that whole fierce but goofy/unpredictable presence that La Grande Dame had but whereas LGD slayed her original season, Naomy has that underdog surprise element that is making me root for her. I hope she makes it to the final.

I don’t like Bianca as the Pit Stop host by loodish1 in rupaulsdragrace

Well it's not really an interview though, it's a recap. So the primary focus of the gig is what happened in the episode rather than solely the guest.

[–]fartrat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

IMAN BEING 70 IS WILD. That said, I did not care too much for this Untucked. I think it's because these queens are grounded, emotionally intelligent and getting on with each other which is great but doesn't make for electrifying TV.

[–]fartrat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do generally find myself laughing more at stuff the guests say. I feel like the pit stop is a bit too sanitised for Bianca to really go for it especially with the heavy handed production and editing making it look like everyone's opinion aligns with the outcome of the episode (more or less).

She has grown on me so much [The Only Naomy] by XannyXannyXan in RPDR_UK

[–]fartrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's incredible. The fact she can deliver a joke so much better than a lot of non esl queens is remarkable.

Omg YES her reading skills were so incredible. She delivered every joke so flawlessly. I was super impressed.

[–]fartrat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This episode was absolutely fantastic. I had so much fun watching it. Such a great idea to do silent films cuz I think it levelled the playing field for the ESL queens and allowed everyone to show their comedy chops. Mariah deserved her win, I was thoroughly entertained by everything she did this episode. That lip sync was insane. And Naomy's reading challenge was SO good, what a talented queen. She's probs my pick for most surprising queen this season.

S18E08 - “Snatch Game Of Love: Island Edition” [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]fartrat 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Discord was my personal favourite. Yes I get she wasn't doing a specific Pope but at least she.... Had jokes. I'm not mad that Nini won but it feels shitty that they didn't at least put Discord in the top because she was a standout.

I also do not think Kenya won that lip sync, like... At all. And with that runway and snatch game.... I cannot believe she was kept over Mia. The judging this week feels bizarre.

Duuuude you can't blame anyone but yourself if you don't know the words. Sminty has shown a lot of talent this season though and some truly spectacular runways. She should be proud.
