March 5, 20214 yr Oh yeah absolutely and I think a lot of the younger fans especially get caught up in that and get far too hyperbolic with their hate, it isn't that serious at the end of the day! No one deserves to have their character ripped apart or have very nasty personal digs. I guess I don't see too much of that on my TL and I see mostly fair critiques.
March 5, 20214 yr While I agree that Lawrence completely overreacted to the line-up order, I think it was coming more from a place of frustration/feeling stifled by Ellie who is supposed to be her best friend in the competition. I guess she took it as Ellie not looking out for her and instead putting her at a disadvantage; still a very bad attitude, though. A’Whora on the other hand preached “insecurity” on Ellie’s part when it’s ironic that her whole ‘Untucked’ spiel was fuelled by her own insecurity. Let’s be real, anybody playing the game correctly would have set the order up in a way to benefit themselves the most, surely? Anyway I thought nobody was terrible and they all got decent laughs, what made it appear worse-off was the awkwardness of telling jokes to an effectively empty room. Saying this, I think that Bimini and Tayce were the best two of the week hands down, in terms of actual comedy Lawrence would be next. BUT I did laugh more at Ellie’s routine for how completely bizarre it was, so if I were judging I’d probably have stuck Lawrence and A’Whora in the bottom together honestly. Bimini was undisputedly the best across both the challenge and the runway this week, just crown her already.
March 5, 20214 yr On the point about deactivating twitter accounts... I think we need to keep perspective that that is just a professional account. The person behind Lawrence Chaney the drag character still has personal social media active to use as a tool & communication.
March 5, 20214 yr @1367593192128872458 That was it? Really? Petition to make saying 'giggles' and 'gaping' worse than 'cvnt'.
March 5, 20214 yr All jokes aside, A'Whora comedic timing is actually really good. She just needs better material :')
March 5, 20214 yr @1367593192128872458 That was it? Really? As if that was all it was? I’m sure a lot worse has been said on the show before, they really did overreact to that. It’s like they’ve never been to a comedy or drag show before...I didn’t agree with Dawn’s comment that it’s the type of humour you say around friends but not at a comedy gig either. I’ve heard a lot worse at stand up shows before :’) People really do need to learn to not be so vicious towards the queens on social media. It seems to get worse and worse. Yes, Lawrence and A’Whora were downright nasty to Ellie in last night’s show, and it’s fine to pick up on that and voice opinions, but it’s an entertainment show at the end of the day. There’s no excuse for body shaming, death threats and the like. The fandom can be so toxic.
March 5, 20214 yr The fandom will never learn. Sister Sister goes and they move onto bullying Lawrence off social media.
March 5, 20214 yr I said this elsewhere already but... what A'Whora did on her set was pure UK drag hosting and the others were sanitised for a more easily offended American audience. Is this Drag Race UK or Drag Race British-comedy-for-Americans?
March 5, 20214 yr Was that really what A'Whora said? :lol: That's no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I don't see why it was censored. I've heard way worse on british TV.
March 5, 20214 yr i guess they edited it to seem worse than it was + make her seem a lot worse to justify her being in the bottom. if the rumours are true, the edit could go hand in hand with her being on all stars .
March 5, 20214 yr Have you all seen Bimini's social media following? It's been skyrocketing the last few weeks. It's increasing faster than a lot of the US girls. :o In fact a lot of UK queens this season have been getting a lot of followings on their social media. Tayce/Lawrence/A'Whora have all gained quite a lot on twitter/instagram putting them on even footing with a lot of the US queens and a lot of the other queens are getting followings the size you would expect for a low-middle placing US queen. It really shows just how big/well this UK season has gone so far!
March 6, 20214 yr anybody would have thought that lawrence has committed war crimes and was being carted off to the hague yes he was unpleasant to ellie and has been said was clearly in his own head and frustrated; i'm sure he regrets behaving in the manner that he did. it really isn't that deep. there is something very toxic about the 'fanbase': this is an entertainment show but first and foremost these are real people with feelings and the way people are carrying on is as if they 'own' these people are entitled to speak to them however they feel. it's really wrong and i hope it is something that culturally changes in times ahead.
March 6, 20214 yr also miss ellie wasn’t exactly innocent in all of it.. y’know don’t poke the bear. she knows how to stir it up, she asks all the cutting questions at the right time + for that, you’re to expect shade if you’re being shady. were lawrence + a’whora a little unpleasant to ellie? yes. however, the edit probably made it look worse than it was + they’re allowed to feel a certain way if they feel like they’ve been done dirty - even if you don’t agree with it.
March 6, 20214 yr I am divided about the whole Ellie/Lawrence/A'Whore drama!!! Yeah, they were nasty towards her but then I also thought Ellie kinda asked for the drama to be honest. How about you just give the damn order and shut it. Why did she feel the need to ask for opinions from others after she gave the assignment order? You know that never ends well!!! I also mentioned last week but Ellie is young and just feels very needy always asking others how and what they think about her (last week it was about her look and this week about her being in Top 5). But then also Lawrence and A'Whora were unnecessary nasty, like if you know yourself you can do comedy you shouldn't really care about in what order you'll be. You just go out and slay it just like Bimini did <3 As for the challenge, personally I enjoyed all of them in stand up. I thought none of them were bad but none of them were as good as Bimini obviously, both in main challenge and runway!!! In the end I would have both shantay'ed because I feel like A'Whora has still left in her tbh.
March 6, 20214 yr I don’t see how Ellie done anyone dirty though? If you are going to be funny you’re going to be funny whether your first, last, after the funniest person or whatever. Bimini was the funniest this week yet Lawrence, going right after her, got the high placement because the order didn’t matter.

I think the running order is more important when you have a live audience to be honest. But as you said, if you're funny you're going to be funny no matter what spot you're in.

Bimini was the funniest this week yet Lawrence, going right after her, got the high placement because the order didn’t matter. she literally admitted in the episode she was being shady, had a conversation about it with tayce + ru acknowledged it on the runway. the queens can be funny anywhere, of course, but the way she set up the running order was simply to mess with them + the girls felt some kind of way about it.
March 6, 20214 yr The real reason for A'Whora being censored is... her nan. :lol: She didn't want those things to be televised.
March 8, 20214 yr Reason 7,223,862 why Bimini should win - Calling out actual Jess Glynne from transphobic comments and using her platform for good.... and calling her out in such an adult, educated way. Bimini :wub: :wub: :wub: Edited March 8, 20214 yr by ElectroBoy
