One of the best parts about Ru Pauls Drag Race is that they have 30
minute show that comes on right after the regular show called RuPaul's
Drage Race: Untucked. This show gives us insite on what we don't get to
see after the judges pick their choices for the best and the worst of
the evening. Most of the time is spent in different lounges and bars
that are set up behind the scenes for the queens to be able to get off
whatever is on their chests and enjoy a cocktail brought to you by
Absolut Vodka(love it), while the other girls get judged on the main
stage.
After our giant premiere for Season 5, this season's untucked is
bringing out some good drama and the catch phrase "No Tea No Shade" has
now been replaced with 'All Tea All Shade" meaning just because you made
a nasty statement and tried to laugh like you weren't serious, doesnt
mean you meant all the nasty behind it. I'm glad we started using that
phrase(been using it myself for a long time), takes away the mess of
trying to back track on your criticism.
Any who, this episode of Untucked
we get to see more of the rift between CoCo Montrese and Alyssa
Edwards, which if you think about it, the two would be better
contestants if they didn't worry about each other so much. There is a
big history with those two, in terms of Alyssa Edwards loosing her
pageant crown and miss CoCo Montrese (the first runner up) getting the
crown in her place. The two were apparently very good friends until that
happened and havent spoken for 2 years(don't believe it). CoCo throws
shade like nobody's business but Alyssa has got a box cutter for a tongue herself(that is Shangela's drag mother after all). Regardless of
the two trying to one up each other, the other Queens of Drag Race still
seem to hold more interest then these two(im still holding my opinions
on both of them till I see more runway looks and challenges). Detox is
seeing through the nasty shade of Alyssa Edwards and has this habit of
flicking her nails(like there is dirt underneath them) at girls that
agitate her( I was laughing too hard when she did it to Alyssa). Monica
Beverly Hills let us know that she used to have a drug problem and has
some self esteem issues. Mind you. Monica is pretty fabulous(needs more
polishing, but still on it) but, to have her open up about and share
that some of the queens have given nothing but support was good to see
and nice to know not all of the girls are full of it.
When the top 3 and
bottom 3 came in (including middle girl Ivy Winters), it seemed that
Jade Jolie was still agitated with Serena Cha Cha(so was the rest of
America) after she tried to come for her in the work room. Jade started
on the look that Serena tried to put together(mind you this lady
supposedly went to art school....not for clothes I'm sure) the outfit
looked likea reject costume for a tacky version of Pinocchio and exposed
her boy body leaving no illusion of drag...just clown, all the girls
gave a silent laugh when Serena tried to explain the dress(it was pretty
funny) and they pretty much dismissed her. Now, the biggest pet peeve I
have with Serena Cha Cha is that she is 21 yrs of age and thinks she is
the baddest girl on the planet because she is the youngest contestant
this season, she states she has an advantage because of this, she also
was trying to read Penny Tration for her age and also Vivienne
Pinay(Serena is clearly jealous) and again Jade Jolie. So much drama out of that tiny body. ~~Sidenote to the picture below Lineysha Sparx is serving the house down in her runway dress made out of WALL PAPER, get into it!~~
All and all, the girls
are way beyond and above Serena Cha Cha, so I see her making an exit
very soon. P.S. Serena was also trying hard to flirt with the other
queens. Detox called it out in a hilarious fashion and Alyssa gave her a
title that has two many asterisks in it. This season has promise for
some good TV and I am definitely right on board with this season.
RuPauls Drag Race comes on Mondays 8c/9pm on LogoTv and you can catch
