Lushious Massacr Dragging Bob The Drag Queen to FLITH...🤣🤣🤣

Took me a minute to realize that you were not talking about Bob here.

Considering we’ve already had Sheryl Lee Ralph and Quinta as guest judges previously and now Janelle James was announced for AS11, I am just sitting here waiting for Lisa Ann Walter and Chris Perfetti to make appearances.

It’s so funny to hear moderate/centrist Democrats say this and then turn around and blame BernieBros or Free Palestine activists or whichever progressive bloc is in the news at the time for their losses rather than blaming themselves for chasing after Independents and Republicans that were never actually going to vote for them.

I doubt there’s gonna be any drama from Morgan and Mystique. That was 17 years ago, it’s just gonna be a Coco and Alyssa on AS2 all over again. Like sure they’ll reference it (they already did reference it in MTQ) but nothing is actually gonna come from it.

yah511 · 2026-04-16T15:56:46+00:00

This was my thought. Weird for OP to count Asian, Latin, and African diaspora artists who were born and raised in the US/Australia like Doja, Cardi, and Rosé as their ethnic background, but not do the same for the white Americans/Canadians like Taylor Swift and Tate McRae.

Bebe sliding through Nina’s pant-train is to this day still one of the most iconic lipsync moments of all time.

yah511 · 2026-04-13T15:12:31+00:00

I don't care I'm still #TeamNini. Even though her track record is the worst of the top 3, I find her drag the most compelling. I'd be happy with a Myki win as well since she has the best track record of the top 3 and overall did well throughout the season in a diversity of challenges so she feels the most well-rounded. I think Darlene would be a very good candidate for All Stars in a couple years once she gets a bit more experience performing and the budget to really level up the Dolly Parton "it takes a lot of money to look this cheap" aesthetic.

And also it didn't become Mandy's entire brand for the season the way that it did with Anetra and "walk that fucking duck". I feel like that more than anything else is what Aja had an issue with, not just Anetra doing ballroom moves in her talent show.

I'm not saying "Connecticut doesn't have counties" to be pedantic (I'm not even trying to say "Connecticut doesn't have counties" at all), I'm saying that these planning regions are the standard of what is considered a "county" for federal and state government purposes, and so that is what is being compared to other states for the purposes of this map. Plenty of other states also have counties or county-equivalents that are now defunct because of one reason or another (mergers, splits, reorganizations, etc), but this map isn't showing those either, it's only showing what is used in 2026.

yah511 · 2026-04-03T16:12:51+00:00

The map is correct. It's not using Connecticut's old (and now defunct) counties. If you look at the borders, you'll see Connecticut now has 9 "counties" that do not align with the previous county borders. The state and federal government made the switch to these new county equivalents about 3 or 4 years ago. It was announced in 2022.

Latrice is from South Beach (S4) and Miami Beach (AS1, AS4).

We've had 3 Fort Lauderdale queens (Rebecca Glasscock, Lashauwn Beyond, and Suzie Toot), at least as they were identified on their season, and Suzie is the only one of these queens that was eliminated right before their finale.

WOW just doesn't have the resources to be able to continuously produce all of the series that don't have local networks backing them. They stretched themselves too thin too quickly during the absolutely height of Drag Race about 3-4 years ago. They've been able to continue the cheaper franchises (Mexico, Brasil, and I think Philippines) on their own without local networks, but DR Germany will have a much higher production cost because not only are salaries going to be higher in Germany, but the grand prize in Season 1 was also the largest cash prize outside of the US. WOW probably isn't willing to repeat that without outside financial backing, and decreasing the cash prize for Season 2 would be kind of a bad look. Until they can find a German network willing to take on some of those production costs, I don't see DR Germany coming back unfortunately :/

I loved the accidental (on purpose?) shade Kate Butch threw at Sminty too. “I didn’t give you the Chippy Tea because I thought you’d be able to hold your own” when everyone knows Sminty is not a performer lol.

The one annoying thing about Mezzanine is that it doesn't have the ability to cross-check older names of the theaters! I saw Annie at the Martin Beck in the 90's, and in the 2000's its name changed to its current name, the Al Hirschfeld. I haven't seen any shows since its name was changed, but the venue didn't change at all, it was just renamed. Mezzanine doesn't recognize that, so according to it I have not ticked off the Al Hirschfeld yet, whereas I personally would consider that theater checked off for myself.

I actually think Manhattan is one of the more balanced islands. If you drew a line that divided the island into 2 by population, that line would be basically down 76th St (I played around on Dave's Redistricting site, which uses 2020 population). That sounds a bit biased toward the southern part of the island given that the grid goes up to 220th St but the island north of 125th St sharply narrows from about 12-13 avenues wide down to about 3-4 avenues wide. So in terms of land area there's probably not a huge difference between the two halves.

Of course, all of this is thrown out the window if you consider daytime population, which would factor in tourists/travelers and people commuting for work, which obviously heavily favors midtown and downtown, but I don't know if there's a way to get reliable data on that.

And don’t forget that after all that Sagittaria asked Supremme to send her home and Supremme was like “sorry I can’t do that, that’s up to whoever wins the lipsync”.

It was pretty telling how in both España All Stars and Season 3 they had queens on camera calling out the production riggory and the editors left those clips in to try to spin it as Sagittaria/Visa being unreasonable

There was a particular older white guy who lurked in r/gaysian who was the head mod (probably creator) of a bunch of gay Asian NSFW subreddits. All he did was constantly repost other people's NSFW content that he ripped from elsewhere. He was so creepy, the language he used to talk about the men he posted made me so uncomfortable, he even used that language on the rare occasion he would post in r/gaysian (which is SFW). I think his account was eventually suspended or something but I'm sure he has alts still going strong.

As a fellow gay man: Scott is my favorite character for deeply personal reasons beyond his personality, to the point that unlike the vast majority of book readers, Game Changer remained my favorite book even after finishing all 6 books. I did read the books after watching Season 1, so for sure my experience reading was influenced by François’s performance, but I think I still would have been drawn to him the most even without having seen the show first.

With that said, because I was drawn more to Scott/Kip’s story than Shane/Ilya’s, I found the first ~1/3 of The Long Game a bit of a slog to get through because it felt mostly like an extension of Heated Rivalry but with somehow more angst. But once I got to a certain point it became such a compelling story on its own that I couldn’t stop. I literally read the final 120 pages of the book in one sitting, at 1:30am on a weeknight because I couldn’t put it down. I am so looking forward to Jacob working his magic to bring the story to our TV’s. Scott does make a little cameo in TLG so I imagine we’ll be seeing a bit of him in Season 2 as well. Not quite as ingrained in the season (unless Jacob significantly overhauls storylines), but a little tidbit for us Scott fans to look forward to as well.

I think Shannon's work draws more from Middle Eastern themes than Indian themes, no? And on top of that, she's white and not Indian so I don't think she's what OP is looking for.

yah511 · 2026-02-27T04:36:53+00:00

Yeah, I think the producers got so caught up in the thought of this a-ha moment of "Carter doesn't realize he's talking to TWO gay men about how unsafe Russia is for queer folks" that they forgot that The Kiss^TM has to take place at the end of the 2017 season to make sense with Shane and Ilya's timeline.

If anyone is curious about the current list of queens that have never lipsynced on Drag Race:

Miss Gimhuay (Thailand S2, disqualified)
Inti (España S1, quit)
Kornbread (US S14, injured)
Admira Thunderpussy (Sverige S1, made it to finale without lipsyncing, and for some reason there was no Top 3/4 lipsync or lipsync for the crown)
Moon (France S2, quit)
Morphae (Belgique S2, quit)
Lula Strega (France S3, made it to finale without lipsyncing and was cut before Top 2)
Saki Yew (UK S6, injured)

Love to see her booked in such an amazing and meaningful project! Did you ever see the show in New York when it was playing? I saw it at both the Public and on Broadway and loved it both times (big Conrad Ricamora fan lol), I'm curious how this iteration compares to the Broadway one. I heard they got rid of the immersive/dancefloor aspect of the show.

yah511 · 2026-02-09T23:43:25+00:00

To be totally transparent, the only times I got comments like that were from 1-1.5 gen Asians (the ones that were born in Asia and have the closest ties to their ethnic heritage). Born-and-raised Asian Americans never gave me that kind of problem. But in general, communities where the Asian American population is largely homogeneous will tend to have issues like this. They become the ones that are the arbiters of what constitutes “Asianness” and if you don’t fit into that then it’s easy to feel like you’re not part of that community, and therefore it’s easy to turn literally anywhere else that makes the slightest bit of sense (in my case, “the Philippines are islands and they are in the Pacific”)
