I'm sorry but Tati trying to find the bathroom only to see Ru Paul coming at you on roller skates? NIGHTMARE

[@lovelyjanuary]

I’m literally crying at the story of Tatianna and RuPaul as a “tall ghostly figure floating toward her out of the darkness on roller skates” that has to be the most surreal and hilarious story I’ve heard in a long time lolololol!!!!!!!! I’m seriously cackling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Danyellelee.n]

The snap of him wearing those black rollerskates made me bloody giggle 💀

[@jouxlskaard]

that’s gotta be the last thing you see before you die

[@Buttrent]

I really wish they would bring Adore back, it’s not laziness or being “unpolished” for the way she dresses. It’s her style I wish they would have seen it for that. Adores mug is always gorgeous she’s not a pageant queen she’s punk rock and likes to reflect that in her style. She’s always booked so it’s never hurt her outside of other peoples opinions. Her career has never been effected by what happened on all stars 2.

[@Lst_inSPCE451]

I hope it’s just a matter of time before they do. They used to drag girls for not padding and while they still get some flack for it it’s not as bad. They can be very close minded about certain things.

[@kassadymaree7827]

seriously! adore was just ahead of her time I love her so much the fact that people don't talk about her more just boggles my mind, she was genuine, when I think of drag race success, I always think of adore her Anna Nicole was so spot on I wanna hug this grungy bitch I love it.

[@TheWholeEntireCake]

Is there any validity to the rumor that Adore had to postpone/hiatus her gender transition due to her run on all stars? I’ve seen it stated as fact from a handful of sources that are staunchly anti-RuPaul.

[@TallulahFoxxx]

Look, I love Adore 😂👌🏻 I’ve been to her shows many times over here in the UK. However, the outfits on AS2 were questionable at best. The dress for the talent show was so unflattering and it was lazy. I come from the birthplace of punk so I get it and I get the “undone” look - believe me: I live in leggings covered in holes/black jeans with unintentional rips in them due to falling over messy drunk too many times, and old punk/indie band tees from gigs I went to 2 decades ago, so worn they’re on their last legs lol. However, I still style my hair every day, wear jewellery, do fierce make up and have crazy nails (I’m a nail tech 💅🏻). I don’t wear the T-shirts loose because I’m pear shaped and I would look boxy even though I’m not: I tie the tees in a knot to make them cropped or just put the knot to the side, so it nips in my waist. I wear a belt to accentuate that. I’m normal height and weight but I’m certainly not fit at all 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I don’t have an IG body haha. I work with what I have and it’s flattering. There was no thought to what flatters her great body, what colours compliment each other and no jewellery (talent show I mean). The dress was shapeless and swamping her, and it finished at an awkward length. It was boring, and was more of an older persons’ dress 😭 The shoes were boring patent platforms that are Drag 101 lol. The gloves did nothing for the outfit 😭 You can be punk and undone without looking unstylish lol. Undone and slightly rough can be really sexy! The outfit for that talent show in particular was just so pedestrian and it was so unlike Adore’s usual fun style 😔 I LIVE for Adore and her personal style has become much more polished NOW, but it’s not quite reality that she looked great and it’s just her aesthetic 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ It wasn’t good. I think because she did SO well outside Drag Race, she expected to come back and be eaten up by the judges. She didn’t really think too much about the details. I liked her original season outfits much better - there was a thought out concept, even if it didn’t always hit the floor or hit the exact mark. The ideas were exciting even if the execution wasn’t perfect. What we saw of her on AS just wasn’t exciting enough. I’d love to see her back NOW, but back then, she wasn’t prepared for it 💖

[@jenniferlynn7575]

Ru prefers pretty “real looking” queens. He has forgotten his punk rock and gender bending drag of the past. It’s shameful.

[@jebipop]

the kim chi and trixie fued was so clever. they really did do all that just to drop a makeup collab LOL

[@prettyricky6135]

Adore left AS2 because of her dads passing she wasn’t dealing with that properly. And Raven Symone & Michelle’s comments weren’t constructive at all.

Tape isn't put on hotel doors for the noise is makes -- rather because once the door is opened, the tape can never be put back on by the people returning to the room.

[@godrickstockwell1505]

I've heard a rumor that Dela was able to figure out a way to remove the tape without ripping it and taught it to the other queens but I can't find any confirmation

[@catseye1009]

I naïvely assumed bathrooms were just off the work room for the Queen’s use. Apparently William, who complained about the poor work conditions was telling the truth. A bathroom across a dark lot? Not acceptable.

[@Jcoronado9093]

Dam! I did not know about all those injuries during that cheerleading challenge but I remember watching it and thinking it looked dangerous! Omg!

[@yung_bonsai]

the tape isn't so that someone will hear it when they open the door, it's so that when the crew comes by to get them, they will see that the tape is either ripped, or not attached anymore since you can't put tape back on the outside of the door from the inside.

[@timmaricecanete1473]

It honestly gave me chills the part when Tatianna saw RuPaul skating on a dark room. LIKE WTF ! Ur seeing a tall b*ld human skating fast towards you in the dark

[@MylingCyrus]

Wow!!! you don't bring kids into fights wtf that was nasty

[@fathertenebrarum7356]

@@MylingCyrus oh you have no idea. Tatiana is not as nice as they portray her to be. As a former twitter follower of hers I’d see how she would reply to randos asking about topics outside of drag race was just very rude. And for no reason at all. I know by most people’s opinions Tyra’s behavior is less to be desired but every interaction I’ve seen her with genuine fans she’s always sweet and courteous

[@hummingbird3771]

Tatianna was the one dragged out of a club by police, while James only got investigated for the entire Con-controversy. And that investigation came from an organization with a long and public track record of stupid profiling. They profiled Aretha Franklin, Grace Jones, and John Denver, lol!! As far as the B.O.O.M. controversy, it's kinda funny to watch the flock of girls led by Morgan, Tatianna, and Raven run around clutching their pearls, while wielding their drag version of white lady "Panic Privilege". Like really?? James took time off from raising his family to learn how to procure the supplies, and how to build a bomb, learned all about the event security, how to evade checks and place an explosive, and leave his son to grow up without him? That is some ridiculous levels of fantasy. He's not an 18-22 year old white guy!

[@pcsmush]

@HummingBird I don't disagree with you but James shouldn't have doxxed her phone number. Tatianna certainly shouldn't have revenged doxxed her in return though. An eye for an eye makes everyone blind

I don't blame Detox for not wanting to help Jinx. They were competing in the same competition. Kudos for Detox giving Jinx pointers, but no way would I apply makeup, if I was in her shoes.

Same. If I were Detox I would have raised one eyebrow and said "And why would I do that?" I love Jinxx a lot, but a competition is a competition.

[@simonzenn]

@@YochevedDesignsi doubt that jinkx herself was asking for help, and if that did occur it was most likely just producers trying to play their own hands

I love Jinx but I was finger snapping away when he said Detox didn't help. Good. For. Her. I'd rather whoever I'm rooting for, win on their own merits than have the competition handed to them.

The rumor about Demi Sexton being casted and cut is true. I met her ex-drag mother and was told about Demi being on. Its also why there was a three way lip sync with tina, kahmora, and elliott

[@jaimemorenoruizdesign]

I believe Drag Race UK does not have the same budget as the US one because the BBC is ruled by the gvment and also fed by the people through TV license. Therefore they don’t have wardrobes, extra fabrics in the background and not even choreographers. They build their own stuff and make their own dances. There is not even a monetary price.

The whole show is choreographed and scripted and that is what makes it so polished and successful...... why do viewers think there is a NDA

[@jason84nz]

The 15 truths: 1, Contestants are not allowed to interact or start a conversation with Rupaul, he makes the first move. 2, Rupaul does not make eye contact with contestants very much. 3, While on the show you don't actually see much of Rupaul in person. 4, Rupaul wears and earpiece and lines are feed to her when mingling with contestants. 5, Often the laughter is fake. 6, Rupaul is extremely tall. 7, The gowns and costumes are given to Rupaul - he does not design anything. 8, As Rupaul is an executive director of Rupauls Drag Race he does have a say in how the show is edited, and how highly edited it is. 9, Once the show season has ended the Drag Queens never hear from Rupaul again - there is no contact - unless they are invited back. 10, Rupauls Drag Race starts off each season not scripted, then as the season progresses it becomes scripted without the Drag Queen contestants realising. 11, The contestants of the show are told the themes before the show so they have time to organise their "looks". 12, Rupaul does not speak to the contestants unless the cameras are filming - there is no backstage interaction. 13, The cocktails in the Untucked lounge contain no alcohol. 14, Rupaul and his husband own sixty thousand acres in Wyoming and they lease the land to water and oil companies for fracking. 15, Before becoming famous Rupaul worked as a used car salesman.

[@YochevedDesigns]

In a way I can understand Ru not interacting with any of the contestants. By staying aloof, there is less of a chance for people to cry "favoritism". Some of that may be going on in the background, but the optics stay professional.

[@Amanda-qz3zh]

@@YochevedDesigns exactly! Some of those ‘truths’ are a reach.

the cocktails do have alcohol however the contestants are limited to like one or two per contestant iirc, and the cocktails are watered down (still alcoholic, just much less than they normally would have in it)

[@credenzabelladonna-fatale2487]

Real question, why are so many of the Canadian Queens so bitter and constantly whining about how much they earn? Don't get me wrong, I love these queens and I understand it's probably very frustrating to participate in a gruelling reality TV show and still not make as much as your american counterparts are making but like... It's almost a pattern? I feel like a lot of queens that participated in Canada's Drag Race are doing really good for themselves and built a great career (Jimbo, Lemon, Priyanka, Tynomi, etc.) but then there's some that just completely fell by the waste side and will very publicly whine the whole time? I really enjoyed queens like Ilona, even though she was a bit much on the show, I was excited to see what she would do next with her newly gained fame and really the only thing I know her to have done is whine on a very controversial interview where she talks about not having enough money to pay rent... like... you were exposed to millions of people who enjoy your work, why aren't you doing something about that? Like, you've been handed this opportunity to build an amazing career for yourself and you're just going to let it go to waste? Sorry for ramble, I just noticed it's kind of a pattern. I actually live near a lot of these queens and every once in a while I'll catch one at the local starbucks and they will always be whining and complaining. There's always rumours going around about their bitterness and messiness. I'm not saying they're always in the wrong and shouldn't complain, I'm sure going through RPDR is excruciating but like... do something for yourself, I dunno. I feel like so many people have less exposure and options to make money and they still make do, why wouldn't these queens be able to do the same? Edit: I feel I may have come off aggressive towards these queens. I like these queens, I've watched some of their shows IRL. It just bothers me how they will put out there how bitter they are about other queens' success but are apparently completely unaware of why those queens are successful in the first place and they're not. You can tell me someone like Eve 6000 or Ilona or any other of these queens don't have the same exposure as a queen like Jimbo or Priyanka but like, that's just not true? They were on the same show, they had the same chances to leave a mark, and more importantly after the show aired some of them decided to accept that the show isn't fucking fair all the time and production is and always will be manipulative and shitty but that doesn't mean you bite the hand that feeds, while others become bitter, spiral out of control and just crash and burn their careers for no apparent reason and go on to just continue performing at their local bars like they were doing before.
