| WHAT THE F**K JUST HAPPENED!!!!! |
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
So its a parade into workroom with the remaining six singing "Jesus is a biscuit! Let him sop you up!" Looks like such fun! Well maybe not for Sharon Needles if you look closely she has her fingers in her ears. Willam wipes Jiggly lipstick message off the mirror saying "at least its not on her teeth". Asked if the experience taught him any humility Willam says "no" Phi Phi snorts deresivley. I tweet "Willam lack of humility will be her downfall" How could I know it would happen so soon?
Willam "I know I have a lot of talent."
Sharon "Miu Miu doesn't make talent".
Mini Challenge isn't really a challenge this week. Its a fun opportunity for Ru to stir things up. The queens are hooked up to a lie dectector. Willam comments "I'm worried I'm going to asked questions I don't want to answer". Now that we know how this episode ends everything about Willam is shady.
 |
| Is this a real lie dectector? Aw who cares. |
Love Ru! LOVE RU! Exective producers on the show I love how there is no pretense of "we just put out the cameras and this is what happened" Rupaul wants to create as much drama as possible. Her questions are designed to create maximum drama "are you now or have you ever been a biological woman? If Sharon Needles were the last ladyboy on earth would you kai kai with her? Do you think Willam is prettier than you? Have you ever looked at the pit crew with lust in your heart? Do you like my line of Iron Fist shoes?"
Iron Fist clothing and shoes
At one point Ru asks "Willam have you lied about your age?" Is this a clue? Did Willam lie on his application? This is killing me!
Ru tells us that he has decided to create team based on the results from the test. Yeah right. But who cares? The teams are there to create maximum drama and conflict and I LOVE IT!!!
Phi Phi and Sharon Needles: They hate each other. Nuff said.
Dida and Chad: The most experienced and polished queen with the least experienced and sloppy queen. I will Dida this. Since episode 1 Dida makeup and costuming skills have improved dramatically. If she came into this show a few years later she might have really had a shot at the title.
The main challenge is to create a cabaret style night club act sung LIVE. Okay I'm just going to say this, drag queens are known for NOT singing live. Okay Ru does but she is the exception. She is possibly the only drag queen to have to top ten hit (and argurably the most successful drag queen of all time). Latrice understandably balks "There's a reason I don't sing live!"
Willam however does sing live with her own band. "I'm out to prove that I'm not just a lip syncing queen" once against insulting all the queens out there who DO lip sync which is almost all of them.
Phi Phi has a 'great' idea "lets do a Elphaba wicked thing" huh? what? Sharon has a much better idea "Devil and Angel, thats the way people see us"
ugh Phi Phi what a bitch. As Sharon comes up with lyrics ideas "Do you want to call me Party City Spook or Post Mortem glam?" Phi Phi "I'm not calling you glamourous" Sharon responds by letting that bitchy snark roll off her back. It is time for Phi Phi to go home!
Ru visits to check on progress. He's concerned. He should be. "there's a lot stuff going on here. I'm gonna let you get back to work"
The girls had off for coaching from Lucien Piane, songwriter and producer for one Rupaul. Its always fun to watch people who can't sing or dance try to do both in heels. Chad points out that she and Dida sound like "Two sick cats". Dida "he must be thinking 'those bitches are fucking up my song" Lucien tells Phi Phi not to "Christina (Aguilara) it up" Latice and Willam "really need to practice".
Sharon "Phi Phi is just that squeaky princess that needs to be whacked over the head with a 2 by 4" True dat. Her bitchyness is off the charts and never has it been so apparently how desperately blind she is to her own (multiple) short comings.
Willam "who is slamming the fucking counter while i'm doing liquid (liner)?
Had producers already spoke to Willam? We saw on "Untucked" that Willam said he'd had a 'rough morning'. A commenter asked "When did the producers talk to Willam? They wouldn't force him to go through with the rest of the show just waiting for the ax to fall would they?" Of course they would. And it would certainly explain a lot.
As makeup is being applied the queens chat about the drag families they acquired coming up in the clubs. Latrice "if we haven't seen each other in a while we have a big potluck dinner" Sharon "I want to come to your house for dinner!" Chad "Me too!" Willam notes that because he found his fame and fortune on TV and in film he's "a little weak in the friend dept" Sharon "I can't believe you don't have a drag family" Chad "I couldn't live without mine".
Fun little fact I learned about Willam's makeup. Apparently he refused to use the heavy stage makeup all the other queens used preferring his high end
department store makeup. Tim Gunn once told me the Runway show on Project Runway last 7-8 hrs for filming but are whittled down to 20 minutes in editing. If RPDR has a similair timeline even if Willam gave himself a close shave prior to the catwalk his beard would be peeking through by the end.
Latrice would point out Willam pulled him out of his comfort zone by putting him in a corset.
Pamela Anderson is not great as a judge. Her eye makeup is weird is and all she does is gush compliments. Tilly has clearly paid attention and offers credible insight. I couldn't help but notice Ru seems less than engaged with his fellow judges. Was that a veneer to cover his rage?
If you watch cutaways to Ru at time stamp 33:35 - 33:50 while praise is heaped on Willam and Latrice, he stares straight ahead his mouth a thin line barely concealing his fury. He knew what was about to go down but the other teams sucked so hard he had no choice but to give the win to Latrice and Willam.
Sharon and Phi Phi are in the bottom and must lip sync for their lives. But before they do...
Then Willam runs to puke off the stage. Ru asks robotically "Willam are you okay to continue? alright" I don't know if the queens are micced but Willam barfing sounded like a velociprator projectile vomiting like a fire hose. I suspect it had some 'audio enhancement'.
I couldn't help but notice the PA standing nearby in an adorable floral frock.
But the show must go on. Time to LSFYL to Rupaul and Marsha Walsh's "Its raining men" Phi Phi does the wig pull which to me should be an automatic out. If you have a Fantasy team (which I do) you know you lose three point for pulling off your wig. Personally I think you should lose an extra three points for taking off your heels as well. Sharon kills the song while Phi Phi as Tom and Lorenzo expertly point out "Phi Phi would have gone home. To us, if you’re going to lip synch, then you have to engage the audience. We can’t stand when these queens tear around that stage like a chihuahua on meth."
But I noticed something during the LSFYL. There are at least half a dozen cutaways to Willam standing the background unlit and looking miserable.
Ru "I've made my decision. Willam will you please step forward?" The queens look STUNNED. Willam clomps the stage as if he's strutting down the green mile to the electric chair.
The other judges don't look stunned. They looked pissed.
Ru "it has been brought to my attention that you have broken the rules. Rules put in place to ensure the fairness of the competition. I have no choice. Shashay away"
WHAAATTTTTTTTTTTT????????????????
I never watch "Untucked" frankly it makes me uncomfortable to see people being so nakedly cruel to one another BUT this time Ru says "You've seen tonights shocking elimination. What did Willam do? All is revealed on Untucked"
So of course I watched. And no they never said.
William gave this interview to EW that told us nothing.
So what happened?
1) Was it drugs?
From this recap http://www.avclub.com/articles/frenemies,70801/
"Untucked don’t give any answers about Willam’s misconduct, but based on the other queens’ reactions, I’m going to guess it’s something drug-related. That’s founded on nothing but Willam’s comments on the Gay Pimpin podcast, where she discusses her affinity for marijuana (which she has a medical license for) among other things.
The most logical explanation would be pills, which would be easiest to sneak on and use during a reality competition and would also induce vomiting when mixed with a stream of Absolut vodka. She could just be nervous/drunk on the stage, but based on Latrice’s “something was up” comment and Willam’s low energy before getting on the runway, it’s very possible that there was something more than fish in her system"
hmm possible but what did Phi Phi mean when she said "I don't want my reputation to be tarnished because of your behaviour" or Chad "She's doing things we can all get in trouble for" So how could be drugs?
2) Phone call home
if Willam snuck in an iphone she could be disqualified. Producers are very strict about isolation. Still that wouldn't explain the Phi Phi and Chad comments earlier but it WOULD explain these comments from Untucked
Phi Phi: Why did you have a rough morning?
Willam: Personal reasons.
Phi Phi: your personal reasons are things you shouldn't have been doing in the first place.
3)Accepting money for promoting designer's name
On comments on Logotv home page suggest that Willam accepted money for promoting designer names (he's shameless been name dropping them all season). Except this was filmed months ago wouldn't it be easy for producers to edit out name dropping? And would designers really pay money to get mentioned on a basic cable reality show? In this economy maybe. And that could explain Ru's "rules created to ensure fairness" comment.
We've beem told "all will be revealed" at the reunion show which I usually skip. This season I won't skip it for all the tea in China.
