RuPaul's Drag Race - Season 8 Thread

Raybee · (This post was last modified: 03-08-2016 10:48 PM by Raybee.)

Starts tomorrow, March 2 at 9 on Logo. We had a thread for past seasons at the old boards and I'm planning to watch this season. I know the premiere has already been released online but I'm waiting for TV tomorrow I think.

Can't wait!

Also, the new ginge addition to the Pit Crew is drool-worthy.

Seems like Miss Fame and Violet Chacki have the best handle on how to bring a polished look, it seems too soon to tell which personalities will become the endearing ones. Katya seems like she could potentially be a crowd favorite if I had to pick one this early, but not entirely sold on her yet. I'm guessing that in the next few weeks, I'll get a better sense for which ones I'd root for.

Pearl is such a cute boy but the way he contours that nose is ugly! Violet needs to realize you can't win being the villain.

Anyway, this challenge was waaay to corny even for this show. Team 2 did do a much better job though.

I think Pearl's aesthetic is robot/android/alien, so I actually love her make-up.

The mini-challenge killed me.

I suppose. Also, I'm not sure I quite get Trixie's aesthetic of just slapping on make up and seeing where it falls, but she seems to be doing okay. Miss Fame was an early fave from fans I saw just because she looked the most polished, but she's so boring.

The queens this season are still soooo uninspiring. Like I still have no favorite yet. I guess Max, Trixie, Ginger seem to be doing well. Some of the fan favorites, or at least pre-season ones and some that people still seem to love based on Facebook status updates, like Miss Fame and Pearl are still boring me.

All of these main challenges are really corny. Like I know the show is kitschy by nature but they seem to be grasping for straws already for challenge ideas. The Shakespeare thing of this past week and last week's flight attendant thing had me cringing it was so bad. Or maybe it's the queens themselves who are failing miserably at all these challenges and thus seems worse than it is? They needed a good yelling at from Ru ("I don't want anymore Goddamn excuses!"!) because they are so bland.

I already saw they are casting season 8.

The season is horrible. No wonder no one cares. A top 3 of Pearl, Violet and Miss Fame would be horrible. lol

...I like Ginger Minj.

Raybee · 04-09-2015, 09:09 PM

I don't have a fave and that hasn't happened yet in a season. I guess a preferred top 3 at this point would be Max, Katya and Ginger Minj.
