Bouvre Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 My favorite part is when RuPaul and the judges provide succinct but straightforward critiques of the performances/photoshoots/outfits for the queens up for elimination, followed by the one-on-one reactions of each respective queen talking about how their performance/photoshoot/outfit was actually the fucking best and they don't deserve to be considered for elimination. Like damn, girl. Are you even listening?
Sandstone Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 The guy I have been flirting with and am trying to court loves this show as well. He asked me to watch with him. I have qualms about whether or not I would enjoy it. Nice to hear about this.

I have qualms about whether or not I would enjoy it. Nice to hear about this. All of the contestants are stunningly talented at what they do (why else are they there?). I've also been watching a lot of America's Next Top Model, and what I like about Drag Race is the risk and creativity. While things like "being wild" or "ugly" are presented as a challenge in ANTM, many contestants embrace a wilder, over the top approach as their primary aesthetic mode of drag, and it results in some real cool and innovative shit. I didn't think I'd like it either, but here I am.
Cau Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Your compelling argument has made this show intriguing to me.
fuggnificent Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 I fucking love this show. The insults are the best. No one more savage than a gay guy.

Juice McKenzie Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I saw one of them get butt fucked before

lupin_bebop Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 So......basically, you understand RuPaul's Drag Race. Good job.
Bouvre Posted September 14, 2017 Author Posted September 14, 2017 So......basically, you understand RuPaul's Drag Race. Good job. I mean, yes, I do, but if the implication here is that the phenomenon I pointed out is all the show is, then I have to say that's reductive, even for a comment about cable television.
lupin_bebop Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Yes. That's all the show is. It's not about the competitions or the judges, it's about the characters.
Bouvre Posted September 14, 2017 Author Posted September 14, 2017 Yes. That's all the show is. It's not about the competitions or the judges, it's about the characters. That's a big part of it, if not the biggest pull of what makes it so compelling, but I do admire the craft of the outfits too.
