RuPaul's Drag Race Season II

[uyeahu]

Yeah, but Ru Paul also has TALENT and can pull off catty without being bitchy, and Tyra seems to be sorely deficient in those areas.

TLo said it best.

In this case, I guess I'll be rooting for Raven

Season Finale tonight! May the best wo-man win!

[Beefcake]

Raven FTW! Love that bitch, despite her odd Tatiana Sucks obsession. She's the least likely winner, though, unless Ru does the black girl white girl rotational thing that Tyra Banks has perfected.

Methinks it'll probably be the Other Tyra, who has always looked great but, really think about it, has done or said nothing particularly memorable or fabulous on the stage or in a challenge. 2nd most likely is that the haven't-won-a-runway-challenge-yet "underdog" Juju wins. I just pray that Juju will forego any backless dresses tonight.

Any and all criteria, though, is pretty much just for shits and grins. Ru probably made up her mind in Week 2 (if not upon viewing the audition vids).

Are people still watching this season? I gave it up after Pandora left. :p

JuJu is a clear winner for me. I know she hasn't won any of the runway challenges or whatever they are but she has been solid and she looks FLAWLESS. Raven was in the bottom too much and I think kept around for drama. Tyra is not deserving and if she wins it will look like they are attempting to stick with the beautiful black drag queen. This is really REALLY common in the pageant system down here, the pretty black girls win every time. Not saying anyone is racist or that it is wrong but that seems to be what is in lately as far as looks go in the drag world.

Who won?

Who won?

The one
You
Recall
As the cattiest of the bunch

[BigB08822]

Hmmm, interesting indeed...they went with the predictable winner. I would have loved to have seen JuJu take it.

[luenatic]

I like Juju too. But I really think Raven is a much better (and experienced) performer. Juju's fashion style was kinda strange in a way. IMHO, RuPaul picked Tyra was because of Tyra's homeless situation. Tyra needs a break in real life.

Besides, RuPaul is already hiring Pandora Boxx, Raven and Juju for the RuPaul Drag U. They're all winners!

Agreed. I think the sad story swayed Ru to got with Tyra. But, she did kick butt in the lip-synch for your life finale. Still, I would've gone with Raven. There was something really gorgeously creepy about her

[BigB08822]

I found Raven to be really attractive out of drag. Not sure what that says about my tastes...

[duane]

People referring to the first Drag Race winner as "beautiful" must have just gotten out of prison! She had style and that amazing attitude, but beautiful? NOT! Wesley Snipes in "To Wong Foo" comes to mind.

I'm so happy for Tyra (who IS a stunningly beautiful black drag queen). I thought she was a total *itch initially, but she gradually changed during the competition (and, she worked the final lip-sync!). She came across very well during the reunion show.

Raven is the bitter *itch, and she deserved the tongue-lashing she got during the reunion.

[BigB08822]

Raven looked awful during the reunion show. His walk down the runway was so manly, he truly looked like a man in a wig. I don't remember him looking that bad on the show. Tatiana is just gorgeous but I do think she is just a face. I think the reason she gets so defensive about it is because she knows it is true and is jealous of all her peers who have actual talent to use on stage.

[uyeahu]

I disagree. Tatiana was fantastic and hilarious as Britney Spears and I think has amazing comedic potential as well as being very pretty in drag. I think she might just be a little lazy.

Pandora Boxx shoulda won it. Tyra is boring.

[BigB08822]

I thought Tatiana was awesome as Britney as well but she admitted she had never even done someone else in drag and it was her very first time giving Britney a shot (she didn't even have a blonde wig). So was that luck or was that a real talent? Was she just trying to psych out the competition by claiming she had never imitated anyone and then BAM, I'm Britney Bitch!!!

[uyeahu]

Doesn't matter - she was brilliant which points to some talent, even if she's just as surprised as the rest of us.

Did anyone see the reunited, aftermath episode?

Sonique - not a transvestite, but a transsexual

Rebecca - loads of animosity towards Raven that I didn't know about

Tatianna and Raven had it out, but hugged in the end

Pandora Boxx - Lost her father during the series

Did anyone see the reunited, aftermath episode?

I happened upon it on VH1 while channel surfing. It was bizarre and fascinating. Having not seen the series, I didn't know any of the history, but the cat fights at the reunion were fabulous.

Even more interesting to see the queens without their makeup. Oh, the tranny confession was very interesting.

[BigB08822]

I missed the beginning of the reunion, that must have been when Sonique admitted to being a transexual. Is that against the rules or anything? I assume it is not but I know in the pageant system you have to be careful, some pageants strictly forbid anyone enter who has taken any hormones or who has had any reconstruction done (face and boobs would be the main factors, here).
