Set Up
Added 2018-02-03 01:28:53 +0000 UTCThis is my summary of "Rupaul's Drag Race All Stars 3" Episode 2. And I kind of agree with Thorgy's conspiracy theory: he was given the weaker part of the Diva Song (I mean, being someone who lives outside US, I did't even know who Stevie Nicks was before this episode). Thorgy thought it was totally unfair.
Here's how I see it: It's unfair, so... what?
Life is unfair and it will never be fair. Most things in this world are unfair. And guess what? Unless you were born with a name like Kardashian or Jenner, we are all set up to fail at a certain point. Not everyone is born to be rich or beautiful. Unfairness is something we could never get ride of. What matters is how you handle this unfairness!
Either you complain... or you learn to ride the unfairness and rise to the occasion.
Unfortunately, I think Thorgy got too much in her head and didn't really shine in this challenge. However, I understand his frustration. Since there are so much unfairness in the real world, when you entered a realty TV show like Drag Race, it's perfectly natural to expect something different... something... more fair.
On a side note, I felt Ben de la crème kind of threw the towel in the Lip Sync at the end just to reject the responsibility of sending someone home. Any thoughts?

Let me pour you some T… I was at a drag show in Brooklyn last night and a queen there was close friends with Thorgy… you saw the props they supplied for Bendela's performance? Well, when Thorgy asked for a broom and maybe a cauldron or a witchy hat… the producers said they "just didn't have that kind of budget!" …soooo… yeah, that was a setup.

2018-02-10 01:25:13 +0000 UTCI'm just commenting to ask if you're able to post future drag race comics with a bit of a delay? Or with a spoiler warning in the title? I opened the patreon email and knew which queen was eliminated before even watching the episode, so would be grateful if you could try to prevent this happening in the future.

2018-02-03 06:33:57 +0000 UTCI agree Ben did give up at the end. I didn’t think about the guilty part of eliminating someone but it makes sense

2018-02-03 05:33:22 +0000 UTCI just watched the episode. I hope Ben will have the heart to continue until the end because she can win this season but she has to be strong to eliminate her fellow drag superstar. At the end of the game its a reality show.

2018-02-03 05:32:46 +0000 UTCMy husband and I both agree that Ben threw in the towel. He had a mini meltdown after the Morgan elimination and it was obvious the $10,000 isn't worth it to him. But, mocking the way Shangela danced was hysterical. We almost peed from laughing so hard.

2018-02-03 02:04:53 +0000 UTCStevie nicks is a pretty known singer I think, but I can see how she would only be popular in the US. But, thorgy didn't do anything to play up the character. Stevie Nicks is eccentric, and she could have played the getting dizzy part as a really funny moment. She played her accurately but not as a caricature. I think Kennedy should have gone home because she forgot the words to the lipsync, she didn't impersonate Janet Jackson, and her outfit was alright but not amazing. While Thorgy had a decent but forgettable performance.

2018-02-03 02:03:43 +0000 UTCAs a Stevie Nicks fan, he did a very basic impression of her. I think he could have done some things to play up her up more, do more of a caracature of her to spice up his routine. Like do some cartoonish witchy things or some hippie stuff, and really do over he top movements, sways, and spins. Really sell a fluid and zen vibe to her movements.
