Oh RuPaul's Drag Race, how I love to watch a tran-wreck. Let me just say that some of these "girls" this season are, well, lackluster. Some mind you, some. And overly bitchy. Lord, I'll be the first to admit I love a bitchy drag queen, but shit, these hoes are literally bitchy - complaining about every goddamn thing. Ah, the joys of reality television. Catty comments + editing = boob tube gold.
One of my favorite leisure activities is rummaging for comments on blogs & episode recap listings. Here is one that just grab my attention...
"I have to agree with a lot of the other posters on this season’s crop. Too many of them are your run of the mill, neighborhood bar performers. I think that’s why I detest Raven- she doesn’t realize what a garden-variety queen she is. " - crimsondeity via popwatch.ew.com Sun 02/14/10 2:50 PM
Good heavens, everyone is a critic. And I love that everyone is, because I have to agree with that comment. Here's some advice for anyone in a chicken costume: don't take yourself so goddamn serious. You would think for someone who says that "sense of humour" is what you are best known for (according to the RDR promo), I'm perplexed on how you weren't in on that joke. It's a fucking chicken costume.
Oh well, I'm sure whoever wins this season will be a "safe" representation of the drag community. And you can see how it played out last season as Nina Flowers was too obscure, Ongina was too androgynous, and Tammie Brown was too kooky. And this year is no different - the queen who wins will not doubt be gorgeous, but one dimensional. Shit, you know what I'm ready for? A Trannyshack Drag Race! Now that would be something.
