RuPaul's Drag Race - Season 8!

[FlyingJesus]

I know there are a few fans here but I bet there are some more we can flush out :P Season 8 started last week with an absolute banger of an episode followed up today with a 2nd instalment that was also pretty intense from start to finish for the most part. I think spoilers are going to be important here because it's an American show so some people won't be able to get hold of the episodes right away but yessssssssss so good so far, was better in the first 10 minutes than the entirety of season 7

Post your views and news, your shades and grades, your... idk can't think of another rhyme

[Martin]

Haven't been able to watch them yet, but I've watched every other season so probably should soon!!! :D EXCITING!!

[FlyingJesus]

I thought I was gonna be able to watch them all on the Logo site using Hola but they've realised that everyone's doing that and are now making you sign in using an actual American TV licence :( vodlocker all the way now

[lawrawrrr]

Yes yes yes yes SLAY this season is so much better than 7. Nearly stopped watching 7 after the first few eps cos they BORED me so much but this one is already so much fun. I'm watching all the untuckeds this year as well!!

I have to say I'm not like loving loving any of the outfits yet although Thorgy's jumpsuit was amazing.

What I wanna know though is how he fits all the dreads under a wig?!?!?!?

[thms]

honestly this is a lot better than season seven already, i didn't even watch the s7 finale. the first ep was fab and i loved seeing the old queens return. initially i thought i'd hate chichi devayne but she actually impressed me a lot in the second episode.

as for acid betty or acid bitter as bob calls her, she needs to go, i'll get tired of her constantly trying too hard to put down the other queens / control everything. thorgy killed me with the 'there's a reason nobody wants to work with her in new york' lmfaooo. kim chi is a horrid dance but was gr8 with that sort of character and wtf @ dax he def didn't look overweight that broke my heart !

my favs r: naomi smalls, thorgy thor, kim chi, bob the drag queen and chi chi devayne. acid betty is amazing too but i hate her personality

least favs: robbie turner, cynthia lee fontaine

i actually loved dax but that lip sync was weak. they both deserved to go, wonder who rupaul was calling / who will return????? it can only be naysha lopez surely

[FlyingJesus]

Agree about Chichi, thought she was going home 1st ep and then 2nd killed it so growing on me, same with Thorgy who I thought was just some vegan librarian until I saw her DOING THE SPLITS UPSIDE DOWN

And yeah Assface Betty needs to get out, great visuals shit person

wasn't it was chichi who was doing the splits upside down???????? i'm sure it was

[FlyingJesus]

In the show yeah, but on the Logo site there's a load of extra vids and there's one at the premiere where Thorgy goes on stage doing it :D

[lawrawrrr]

Chichi slayed that dance and I really like the whole gang backstory as well, it's so interesting! Acid Betty is so nasty and I don't think it'll be long before the other queens get fed up of it and she'll either have a change of heart like Alaska did in s5 and be nice or carry on and show herself up not being a team player.

I love Kim chi but I think the anime thing will get a bit old and she doesn't seem to have any other talents. Seems to be a visual queen rather than a walk/dance/singing queen? Once she's in the bottom she'll deffo go home which is such a shame :(

Also walks like a pregnant buffalo

Clearly can't walk in heels it's embarrassing for a show like this where runways are literally half the show

yeah she's sort of the miss fame of s8 with no talent other than painting her face and making fab outfits. although i did love how she covered up the fact she couldn't dance, the walk is egh i'm sure and HOPE she'll find more confidence to finally strut her stuff. maybe she should practice or lower her heel size ://///

[lawrawrrr]

Thing is Miss Fame didn't really seem to have much of a personality either?? Kim Chi at least has a bit of presence in the room I feel

[FlyingJesus]

And at least now when I go on the show I won't be the first person in the studio to have never been bummed

[lawrawrrr]

hahahhaha I loved all the queens reactions when she said that LMAO

hahahhaha I loved all the queens reactions when she said that LMAO

it's kinda hard to be really mean about someone being a virgin though? especially cos the reason is because of self confidence and stuff, most NORMAL people wouldnt be nasty about it

[thms]

yeah true tbh but i just mean that entire scene with the talk of them being bullied for being overweight too. you would think acid betty would know better than to act the way she is though after i imagine she was on the receiving end of shitty behaviour towards her growing up overweight yknow????

Kim Chi might as well join Habbox probably won't be the oldest virgin here

ikr!! I really don't understand people who are supposedly bullied so bad then do it themselves. They know what it's like, why would they want someone else to feel like that? Just seems so devoid of feelings really.

[lawrawrrr]

Currently watching this week's episode and I think this season is my favourite!! Proper loving the Derrick/Bob beef and snatch game is my favourite full stop. Half way though!!! GO THORGY!

[welshcake]

I started to like bob but after last the last one before snatch games I'm feeling uncomfortable :/
I couldn't say who my favourite is atm though
BUT LOOK I SWEAR I WAS WEAK I SENT THIS TO THMS I ACTUALLY HAD TEARS IT'S SO STUPID/FUNNY:

I don;'t want to actually post the pic it's awks

but ye idk I wouldn't say this season is my favourite though laura??? wtfff
RAVEN ISNT IN THIS SEASON

[FlyingJesus]

Definitely one of the best seasons but then again 12 Darienne Lakes wearing green would have been better than season 7.

ANYWAY fairly decent Snatch Game. Derrick taking the obvious route which makes sense since he's about as sharp as a lump of blu-tak so needed something familiar for it to work, Bob being Bob and winning everything, Thorgy with some decent jokes ... but I do wish they'd show (or at least provide somewhere) a full video of the whole thing rather than just edits with 1 or 2 queens answering each part. TERRIBLE planning with the outfits for runway though I mean they are all getting ready in one room did none of them think hey perhaps it would be a good idea if less than half of us did the same outfit :S

Betty's outfit definitely handicapped her for the lip sync and it should really have been Robbie who was there instead, Naomi was awful in all aspects this week but survived because of that bo-o-o-o-o-o-o-dy I mean wow

[lawrawrrr]

I really do not like acid betty whatsoever, she was just fully mean but she had one of the most creative and original outfits on the runway!!!

I LIVE for Naomi but she DEFINITELY deserved to be in lip sync


Also I hate every single one of robbie's outfits this season how has he not been read to shit over them

[FlyingJesus]

Robbie this week at judge's critique:

[thms]

when i watched untucked a few weeks ago, betty was really horrid about trixie from s7 who came up on a video message for kim chi and derrick called her out but literally since that derrick has been awful. i don't understand why she wasn't in last weeks lip sync where naysha, who may have sucked in the challenge did a better runway outfit than she did. derrick is awful and bob absolutely dragged her to filth and i loved every second

i'm a bit bored of thorgy if i'm honest, bob was great this week but sometimes he's annoying and i've been bored of naomi smalls for a while and her lingerie looks but o god that lip sync was hot. betty's lip sync was still good but she deserved to go tbh, i'd rather watch the other queens than her

also looool robbie turner. when ru was like we could hear you but you just wasn't funny. ouchie

[FlyingJesus]

Such tough love on this week's ep, shame to see THAT PERSON go at the end but it was the right decision really based on the performances and runway. So cute seeing a certain pair with bad blood having so much fun together and BEST MINI CHALLENGE EVER I'd have won it because not one of them looked like a top tbh

[thms]

i wish naomi or kim chi won

[FlyingJesus]

Same tbh but it was obvious that Ru had decided the winner from the start tbh, still an amazing season that more than makes up for how bad s7 was

PS: VIOLET'S DRESS

violet outshined all the other queens and ru in that outfit lmao. definitely one of the reasons why she won s7
