ION, I caught about half of RuPaul's Drag Race over the weekend, and that shit was BRILLIANT. Blog post explicating same: [link] If nothing else, you've got to love a show where the real catchphrase (not mentioned in the blog post) is "Don't fuck it up."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Seriously.
Exactly.
I love Bebe.

I love Bebe, too. But I think Nina Flowers is my absolute fave.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
ok, this is the sad state of my tv viewing. My go to "mindless" channel is currently the tvguide channel - wherein, it seems, 50% of their programing is somehow AI related. As a result, I have songs stuck in my head, namely Adam's Ring of Fire, that I never actually saw performed (I do not watch the AI performance show). Poor poor next door cubemate.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am so bummed for Mike & Mel! And it was just bad taxicab luck. They did well and played well, and it was just luck. And Mel is so smart! I just adore him.
I'm glad you guys agree about the redheads because they were really awful this episode. I told D. I was getting ready to slap her and a) I'm a pacifist and b) not even close to where they are and c) it all already happened. But still. I'm sure it is overwhelming. There's definitely stuff I see where I would totally break down. But her behavior is not okay.
And I'm also not okay with all the slams (on the show, not you guys) against the stuntmen's height. I could see the penalty about the cab, evidently that was mentioned in the rules, but I didn't get the big deal about the pumps being in the box or not. But I bet it did figure significantly in the difficulty, and especially with Margie it seemed to be a big issue.
I was surprised they didn't immediately give her water when she arrived and asked for it, clearly in distress. But her lips and fingers being numb, that's lack of oxygen, that's a problem. I wish the producers had intervened at that point.
Anyway, I agree about Mike & Mel just having so much fun with it, even knowing they were losing. And I'm glad, and they were so sweet together, and I'm just happy for them, but bummed they didn't win.
