RuPaul's Drag Race (S17)
- Thread starter Tiger Suit
- Start date
Maybe Megami was right all along
I've loved Arrietty's drag for a couple years now, and her nose shape is her signaure makeup element, just as Suzie's is pulling from that 20s aesthetic, or to another extreme: Trixie's makeup.
Asking her to see what other makeup she can do with her talent is one thing, telling her she needs to change it up because she looks like she's in Cats is another. Especially after she said that the way she does her makeup makes her feel beautiful.
It all just doesn't sit right with me. If it was *bad*, i'd be like yes change it. But there's nothing even bad about it. It's just different. Everyone's makeup looking like Raven should not be the set standard.
I hate this critique every time. Suzie got really lucky in changing it up this week I guess.

The challenge being to parody a niche part of pop culture that was off the air before 3/4 of this cast was born. Kori King's "reveal" being into the exact same look and no one bothering to tell her. Sam Star continuing to seem AI generated. Joella serving Gaga VMAs 2013 in a half-deflated air mattress. What a show.

Caught up on the last two episodes. Are these girls incapable of serving good lip syncs?! First yes, and? And now Buttons?!
Still too early for me to call out any faves but delighted to see Joella go.

Some of you have forgotten the 'ella' and it shows.

Alter Ego says hi.
'Unprofessional' - gonna need that on streaming plz.
I continue to be obsessed with Onya Nerve - her superstar aura with the talent to back it up. My winner with Lexi Love just behind.
Would have thought producers would want to keep Joella in a bit longer for mess purposes, but I think it was her time to go. She's been a bit out of her depth.

Sorry, but Joella was incredible television. Her delusions of grandeur alone should have been enough to keep her around a couple more episodes.

And I say hey right back, but one good lip sync in 4 weeks is concerning to me :(
The Woman’s World sync wasn’t bad despite the song either.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, the girls who are doing the best in the challenges seem to be the ones who are also the best at lip-syncing… so maybe we need a few double sashays before we get to the good lip syncs for your life?

The way I entirely blocked that out of my memory, I forgot it happened!
