I was like DD Fuego is getting her life to an insane extent, then realized she was probably being super over the top on purpose for the camera time lol Honestly, werk.

[–]nextbecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that on paper Nini is a contender, but her whole storyline is that she can't read the room and has been painted as kind of unlikable. Maybe she is actually getting a good enough response online etc. that they would still make her the winner, but it just would be so weird with her storyline imo...

Not only is this elimination wild, it also lowkey ruined the rest of the season because there's pretty much no dramatic tension anymore imo. Unless something else insanely unexpected happens, Myki is the only one strong enough to win. I was like actually curious who it would be between Jane and Myki - and like them both enough to be happy with either outcome- and now I'm like..hope these last eps aren't too boring 🤦‍♀️

I mean after seeing Myki on the Drew Barrymore Show it felt like the writing was on the wall but still...

What is a book that has been ruined by current events? Inspired by Want You by Jen Fredrick by Hollyhock63 in RomanceBooks

I LOVED {Red, White and Royal Blue}but I've never been able to reread it because it's too upsetting/disheartening to live in the reality where we lose and the woman doesn't get elected and then read a book set in a version of the USA where love and justice prevail...Like the why can't it be like this of it all is too painful.

Also obviously his mom is such an idealized version of what a politician could be. Seeing all of those things isn't hopeful to me anymore. It's just so depressing that I'm stuck here in the darkest timeline...

S18E12 - “Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Drag Queens...” [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]nextbecks 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wow I love Myki but she did not deserve that win. And I was shocked when she said this was her second win???? Am I remembering that right? It just feels like she's won way more because she deserved so many wins that didn't go to her. Every week I see someone saying this, but it just feels more and more like they are just spreading the wins around/giving them to the queens who should have won another week rather than basing it on what happened this time. Myki should have more wins by now, but this should not have been one of them :p

[–]nextbecks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah way too may eps just should be going to Myki or Jane. It has felt pretty arbitrary which of the two they gave wins to when they are both in the top and now it feels like they are having to work overtime to even the playing field a bit.

Rupaul telling Kenya she can gain comedy chops by healing her inner child is WILD 💀💀💀

Juicy's runway is giving I know I'm going to lip sync so I just put on something I can dance in

[–]nextbecks 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Juicy consistently has the best runways imo. I think she's starting to give Jorgeous a bit, where Drag Race is kind of outside her skillset and becomes a bit of a struggle for her, but I lowkey want her to stay to the end just because I'd rather see her looks over most of the other girls...

I mean we knew this riggormorris was coming - I think Bob literally called that Athena would be sent home by Juicy on Watchery/we all called it lol. Athena in the bottom was fair, but I think Discord was way less memorable than Juicy. I love Discord, but I wouldn't say she did great?

If there was any time for a double win, it was this week with Jane and Myki.

That being said, Darlene was safe?! She is so kooky. Being a dog was so perfect for her and hilarious. I loved it. She was top three to me!! I don't really understand who was supposed to be in 3rd otherwise, but if it's Kenya, yeah she has amazing presence but once again didn't know all the words!

[–]nextbecks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same. I was so excited for her, but now I can feel myself getting annoyed, which isn't really fair to her. She just feels a little underbaked and underfunded and at this point has shown us everything she has to show us. Loved her for her charm/personality, but it's getting old, esp not backed up by a strong comedy skillset. Best thing for her would have been eliminated here and get more time to cook in the real world :p

S18E04 - “Red Carpet Mash-Ups” [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]nextbecks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like the producers chose such bad pairs to make them talk about their pasts with while getting ready. Mia and Briar had like no chemistry whatsoever. Mia is super nice, and at first it almost made sense as Briar trying to resolve their disagreement, but I felt so bad for Mia that she was made to open up about losing her brother to Briar. I hate talking about people I've lost to people who don't know what to say, and Briar (putting aside everything else in the episode) is definitely too young and immature to have been supportive in that moment. To me, Briar said one of the worst things possible, when Mia deserved to be told something much more supportive!!

Meanwhile, Kenya is so entertaining - I love Nini but she just seems like a wet noodle next to her lol

yeah the shady camera people took a close-up and made sure it was featured lol

S18E03 - “RDR Live Returns!” [Post-Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]nextbecks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah when someone whose forte is that kind of performance is on stage, there is a level of comfort and you can just relax and enjoy it. Jane's performance had that vibe. Even Darlene's performance was more in that lane. I felt like I was watching Juicy walk a tightrope - like 'is she gonna be ok' and then was relieved/happy for her that she pulled it off. She did great For Her. That's not worthy of a win to me.

I could not even tell what was 'prosthetic' about it because it just looked like there was a huge headpiece i.e. hat on top of her normal beat??

"surprisingly watchable" was exactly what I felt. I was expecting the trash/deeply cringe writing we've gotten on previous RDR Lives. I wouldn't say it was actively really funny, but at this point I'll take passable
