We're watching Celebrity Drag Race later. Fully expecting to say 'who?' quite a lot.

Glad nobody went this week. I love Heidi but there was no family resemblance. Jackie Cox looks like Celina Dion. Grin

I watched celebrity drag race earlier, had no clue who anyone was on either episode, but great to see some of my fave drag queens.

Got a bit annoyed with one of the celebs, when they were talking about how they knew some really lovely women with penises and being gender queer blah blah blah. Using it as a platform for that stuff takes all the fun out of it IMO.

Watched Celeb Drag Race. Oh my stars that one banging on about being non-binary, women with penises. He coul only have been more annoying if he was a vegan cross-fitter as well.

Here's a ladder, mate. Get over yourself.

@iklboo he was so cringe to watch!

@Smithtylater he was so bloody try hard. We were saying 'ok, we get it. Now shut up banging on about it. Whoever you are'.

The second episode was better - at least we recognised one of the contestants.

That Nico was so pissed he didn't win too . I didn't like him. He seemed extraordinarily arrogant.

ALemonyPea · 05/05/2020 12:07

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

iklboo · 05/05/2020 16:28

Oh Nico definitely thought he was going to win. He had a face like a slapped arse and I felt him keeping going on about 'these straight guys' was a dig. He wasn't even that good.

ALemonyPea · 05/05/2020 17:05

His Lucille Ball was crap.

TheDropBear · 05/05/2020 17:21

I haven't watched the celebrity drag race yet but not surprised that Nico was like that. Him and his wife (a biological woman) wrote the most self indulgent article I've ever read about their "queer polyamourous" relationship/wedding. My eyes nearly rolled out of my head reading it Hmm

I'm guessing he doesn't get much work so has to get attention somewhere.

iklboo · 05/05/2020 18:03

Argh. Pressed send too soon. I got the impression Asia O'Hara didn't like him very much.

Also am i the only one struggling to see the 'celebrities', only one i knew was Vanessa Williams.
I was talking to my sister who lives in US and she said even she didnt know who the contestants were...

OP posts:
iklboo · 06/05/2020 16:00

Nope we only knew Vanessa Williams as well.

GeraltOfRivia · 06/05/2020 16:53

Same here. Vanessa Williams is the only one I knew 😂

Izzabellasasperella · 09/05/2020 07:39

I thought the celebrity drag race was dull and far too try hard. Lots of dreary speeches about right on issues. Every high heeled shoe or false eyelash had to be accompanied by tears and a speech. 😊

iklboo · 09/05/2020 14:11

Episode 3 of celebrity is really quite funny.

Smithtylater · 09/05/2020 21:56

Omg the all stars 5 line up 😍 good to see some old school queens!

Sad to see who went this week. She was one of my favourites.

Smithtylater · 10/05/2020 17:13

@iklboo i was sad to see her go as well! Im pleased Crystal got her first win!

OP posts:
iklboo · 10/05/2020 17:19

Oh yes. Crystal's character was so funny. I don't believe for one minute Sherry Pie wasn't aware she went well over five minutes. She should have been called on it at the time.

TeetotalKoala · 10/05/2020 17:25

I agree that Sherry Pie should have been called on it. It should have been enough to land her in the bottom two. Unfortunately her (long) performance was better than the bottom two so those two did deserve their place.

I've gone right off Gigi since I last posted. There just nothing there. Can't warm to Jaida. The person who won the lip sync deserved it as theirs was better (the sashayed queen seemed to have no heart during it), but I would have preferred the lip sync winner to go in general.

TeetotalKoala · 10/05/2020 17:26

Oh! And Nico in the celeb version was unbelievably irritating. His Snatch Game was awful and I was waiting for the judges to tear him to shreds. Alas, they were so nice to him.

I only knew who Vanessa Williams was also, but she had a well deserved win. Haven't watched the third one yet.

TeetotalKoala · 10/05/2020 17:29

Just been reading that article by Nico. The first thing he writes...

'the day was march 9, 2018. 3/9/18. in numerology the 18 becomes a 9, so for all intents and purposes, we shall forever remember the day as 399. an angelic number if i’ve ever seen one. you see, 39 is a blessed count, and with an extra 9? this was entirely planned.'

Oh do fuck off.

TeetotalKoala · 10/05/2020 17:36

Nope, couldn't even get to the end of it. Awful!
