Was Ru Paul ill a few years ago? He was horribly thin.


I love him - or her!:biggrin1:

I wondered the same thing, showed in her face/cheekbones area. I worked with Ru in 1990 and there has been aging, of course, but the "gaunt" face look has gotten better. I love her as an entertainer but she is rather difficult to work with now. Not in the past but now.. she can be demanding. Then again, what would you expect. Not everyone is nice - Take Barbra Streisand for example..... some are really "working" 24/7

Interesting speculation on Facebook postings this morning say that they taped 3 different endings to the show with each queen being chosen the winner and that they will play the taping who the fans decide..."Voting" so far is a landslide for Sharon..I'd say in the neighborhood of about 80% Sharon, with Chad coming in 2nd at about 18% and PhiPhi bringing up the rear at 2%..

They're also saying the reason Willam got booted was that he had sex with someone which, i guess, is against the rules of the show. ????? Go figure??

I finally watched the "final" episode last night...I started throwing balled up socks at the TV!!! What a crock of crap!!! At this point, I don't even know if I want to watch next week.
Oh, come on Mike, you know you can't stay away!!:smile:

And you guys have to remember its a television show...phi phi in all actuality is one of the most amazing people..its a competition..she wanted to win...you have to be aggressive and take no prisoners. Some of the most successful people have many enemies...and yes I am an assistant to someone on show

My top queen was Latrice! She served realness and ferocity every week. She didn't let herself be walked all over, held her head high every time, and did it with poise, such as when Phi Phi made her crap racist joke, Latrice's comeback was pure gold. I knew that after her second lip-sync though she was going to be going if she had to suffer through a third one. But her lip-syncs, especially the first two really sent chills, like Sharon said "She brought me to church".

Now my top queen is Sharon and she's always been my favourite behind Latrice, she is so stylistically different and knows every facet of her expressionism she brings high class quality to the table each time. And it goes to show in how many challenges she has under her belt.

And Chad, oh Chad Michaels! She's so talented, I think all of the top 3 really have the capability of winning, because they all have such strong and equally diverse talent. But Chad to me, just seems a little weak in the possibility of winning because of how the show is seeming to pin Phi Phi and Sharon head to head, you know probably for viewership ratings purposes it will be those two in the finals. But Chad is top notch, hands down, one of the best queens I have ever seen on Drag Race, and probably the nicest. She is my second choice to win behind Sharon, but if she doesn't win Miss Congeniality at least, I will have a fit.

Latrice Royal was my favorite queen as well. Not only was she talented and fierce, she was also a class act and always professional. I was dissapointed to see her go home as she would have been my winner. It also would have been nice to see a bigger girl win for once.

As of now I am hoping for Sharon Needles or Chad Michaels to win. And just like Latrice, Chad is also professional and classy beyond everything.

And if the rumors are true about fan voting, it looks like we will finally have someone win who is not just a pretty face/fashion queen. Someone who is truly talented and can actually put on a show and act.

Like someone mentioned above, just like American Idol winning this show does not guarantee success. If anything, the queens who have been runner up have been just as if not more successful than the actual winers. And from what I have heard and seen half of the queens are actually well established and have successful careers before they even come on the show. Oh well, go Sharon Needles.

So, what you're saying is basically preparing us for Phi Phi winning. And that will piss a lot of people off because of the way Ru let us think we could choose.. If that's so, honey, you better be looking for work because this show will be "herstory"!!! The overwhelming majority of fans DEMAND Sharon Needles win.

I liked Latrice as well..her Jesus is a Biscuit line was great, would have loved for her to be in the top 3 in place of Phi Phi.. Chad was flawless all season and for Michelle to criticize her for that and want her to be sloppy, I just didn't understand that. Sharon's impersonation of Michelle in the Snatch game was hilarious as was Chad's Cher routine..

According to TVbythenumbers, they are recording the "crowning" in front of a live studio audience for the reunion and supposedly Ru is "listening" to us...here's the link to the article.

Blacklibran - if Ru "crowns" an unpopular winner 3 years in a row, I think all of us fans are going to go somewhere else. And you keep saying how "fierce" Phi Phi was/is. It's the crap that Phi Phi pulled that makes her so unattractive. She lied, she intentionally gave bad advise to other contestants, she screamed and yelled her way through most of the "Untucked" episodes. Frankly, Willam's constant insistance to NOT play her game and just respond very calmly and quietly showed what intelligence and maturity is all about and how rediculous Phi Phi actually is. Sharon only yelled when totally provoked - usually by Phi Phi. Chad never fell into her crap and neither did Latrice. If Ru prefers an immature, tantrum throwing brat, then so be it. I find it funny that Sharon and Willam won more challenges than Phi Phi ever did if she is soooooo fierce.

And one final thing - those reality contestants who are so driven to win at all costs, what happened to them? Richard Hatch - the first "Survivor" winner - ended up broke and in jail; did Santino Rice win "Project Runway"? Where's Omarosa today? (she's becoming a preacher! Now THAT'S COMEDY!!!) Being destructive, conniving, rude, belligerent, snide, insincere, and childish may get something for Phi Phi in the short term, but in the long term, she'll be a very lonely "ladyboy".


Lol..no dude..i wasn't saying that at all..i was just responding to all the Phi Phi bashing..and secondly "honey" drag race isn't going anywhere...no matter who wins..it gets bigger and better every season.. So thanks for watching ! Lol

Don't be so sure. Every TV show depends on one thing -- viewership. I didn't watch season 3 after Tyra won season 2. a LOT of people will be pissed if Phi Phi wins. Also, with Logo shifting away from gay programming, Drag Race shouldn't risk losing viewers (again).

Team Shangela!! #lmfao

I think she was on the Mentalist last night, that's what somebody told me.

It's kind of cheesy the way they are dragging out the winner (and if they really did film three endings with each one crying while the crown is put on her head, that's even cheesier). I will for sure watch, but all in all I don't think this season has been better than either seasons 2 or 3. The all-star edition sounds interesting though, is that scheduled for this fall? I've also been trying to find the ratings for Drag Race, it's got to be Logo's highest rated show but I wonder how it stacks up compared to the other shows on Mondays.

No way in fucking hell will I watch even a second of that stupid Eden's World show, I can just barely stand the constant promos for it during RuPaul.

As for Willam, if he did get kicked off for having sex with someone during the filming, I hope he snagged that Lucien guy. He was a cutie!

Apparently the orange-tanned queen from Absolute does not like Sharon so who knows if she will win or not. I am beginning to think Ru does not have all control over choosing who the winner is, and it would certainly explain the past winners. But if we go by who won the most main event challenges, Sharon is certainly the winner.

As for por phi phi, edited or not, her vile comments about everyone couldn't have been edited, she's a vile, bitter creature. Yes, to have ambitions and be a fierce competitor is OK but her stragedy can hardly be call ambition, fierce. Evil is more like it!

Team Sharon or Chad all the way, :cool:

*SPOILER*



GO SHARON!!! Just finished the episode and have to say, probably the best reunion thus far. Sharon rocked the shit out of the whole thing, and Chad looked impeccable. I wish Willam did something more scandalous than just have sex with his husband, but I guess a broken rule is a broken rule. Ms Latrice won Congenieality as it should have been.

And regardless of how I felt about Phi Phi before this show, each time she talked about how the money was the best part of winning she pissed me off. Yeah, it'd be great to have $100K, I don't believe that's what the goal should be in such a new world as a gay competition show. Call me cynical or stupid for saying it idc, but if she just wanted money, I'm sure The Amazing Race has a casting call coming up where the catty gameplay is welcome

Go Needles!!!! Sharon was my pick before the season started! I'm so happy that Ru listened to the fans this time around. If Phi Phi were to win, it would have been a sad day for Drag Race. I was fine with Chad winning (I think she's spectacular!), but Sharon was just more fun for me. Yay!!:smile:

I am glad Sharon Needles won, loved that ouija board piece stuck to her forehead! I also liked it when she said that if you get booed offstage, then it's really just applause from ghosts. She was really working the spooky, alternative goth look all season, and by Ru sending a message that you can be different and still be good at what you do, I think that has the potential to be really empowering to everyone, including youth. So does anybody know what the ratings were for the final episode?

And I couldn't resist linking to this video, Willam took that Selena Gomez song Love You Like A Love Song and, um, well, made if awesome!! Check it out if you haven't seen it, it's hilarious. And Shawn from the Pit Crew looks great, as always :hitit:
