tv show Canada's Drag Race | Season 5 | EP1: Go Off, Queen

[Both Sides Now]

I’m sorry but Venus needs to start wearing makeup. She is constantly serving boy in a dress. 
 

Nearah should have won

[Eat The Acid]

A great episode. Neerah has star quality. Venus and Aurora are a bit boring. Melinda also has star quality!

Bring Back My Girls… it’s always the Canadian girls that are messy af. Fierce really did emerge as the breakout star from that season. Giselle looks great. Doesn’t seem like she’s gotten the plastic surgery some other contestants have post win either so good for her. 
 

Brooke being shady af is hilarious.

omg yes

I actually liked the lipsync, though Denim’s split and the other move (throwing themselves on the back and spreading legs) made her a loser of the LSFYL in my opinion. It’s clear she’s not a performer and doesn’t know when to pull what move, she just did them randomly.

The thing that annoys me with Denim is that she acts like/the audience is being told that she’s doing well in the competition and it just doesn’t… seem to be true? She was in the top for the first episode because of looks she brought with her. I’m not gagging. What do you do successfully, quickly? It’s like the producers were telling them along the way who they thought the front runners are

I mean Icesis already spilled the tea that Brooke and the judges have basically no say in the placements, she’s fed who goes home through her earpiece from production

Im sorry but denim's edit its so similar to gottmik's it's ridiculous...

 

And they lack on the same department too (performing, lipsync). No shade to the T girls but we've seen drag excellence being served by trans performers before (Sasha Colby) idk why are they being favored this much

[bestfiction]

There's no way Denim won that lipsync lol

[Rotunda]

Wasn't really captivated by any part of the Rusical. I thought all the girls did solidly enough though.  

 

Tried to come up with a chart for this season, but idk if I even agree with the majority of my decisions. This season is weird because overall I'm really enjoying it, but I really don't care about the front runners, and haven't even loved any of the challenges aside from the Lalaparuza. 

 

Ended up giving this one to Venus for the runway, even though it was one wrong move from falling apart. .

Kitten would have slayed this week

 

Also if anyone is interested, a new season of ATRL Big Brother is starting! Sign up here:

These Canadian producers clearly thought Denim would be as endearing as Willow Pill to the audience. They were wrong

It’s so unfortunate that the two trans masc contestants are so similarly awful but… 

 

I will say that Denim is more creative/talented than Mik (who had ZERO performance/designing talent but had a big budget). Mik is funnier than Denim who seems to be completely humourless.
 

Both have horrible personalities though. It didn’t escape my attention that both of them antagonised non-white contestants. 

[genetic fail]

How the hell did Aurora win that?! I thought she was bottom 2 worthy tbh. She lacked the comedic timing to pull the sex noises.

Nearah was robbed!

 

Kiki definitely won the lipsync but she did the worst in the challenge and has been in the bottom one too many times.

I hope Denim doesn't make the finale though. Outside her looks, she hasn't really served anything.

 

Still struggling to see any of the Top 5 as winner material.

Them dragging Nearah for the dance moves being too similar to the lip sync slay offs when it was a choreographed number ahskjskd

That was weird. I wonder if Nearah had to add her own moves into the musical.

[killer_rose]

Nearah did the best despite the repeated moves.
MANus clearly had no idea how opera singers actually sing because the mouth was NOT matching at all. Once again praised for bare minimum, also the runway look was half assed.
Mother Verga did very well, the runway was very cute and didn't deserve the lashings. Should have been High instead of Low.
Aurora was fine I guess, I didn't find anything exceptional about her performance and the runway look was ugly.
Kiki obliterated Denim. This was NOT a splits and jumps song and Denim didn't even do the tricks correctly. It was her time to go and if she is top 3/4 instead of Melinda I will go crazy.

No but the way anything Melinda does is so instantly iconic  the star power

[djcalpal]

Went to see Aurora perform at a drag bar in Toronto last night. She did Black Velvet, She's All I Wanna Be, and 60 seconds of Heartbeat from the girl group challenge. 

 

I'd seen her perform pre-CDR, but she's now 100% poised to take her talent across the world. Absolutely insane dancing ability. 

[unino]

need Nearah, Aurora and Melinda for top 3

[Dula Peep]

The Denim rigging 

 

Kitten was robbed 

 

I guess I’m rooting for Aurora now but that snatch game was one of the worst I’ve ever seen…
