Okay, seriously, why did this not win?

WHAT THE FUCK, YOU GUYS.

I mean, look at that thing. You can't even see the amazing brilliance of those sleeves. She held out her arms walking down the runway and I kinda started screaming my head off. It was astounding, and awesome, and Terri earned that win.

Except this one won.

Okay, look, it's not that I hate it. I really think it's great, and it's exactly what Joe's client wanted -- she asked for Ann-Margret on the Love Boat and seriously, look at that thing -- and it turned out beautifully. But Terri's kicks its ass into next week. Honest to God.

And this is the other one in the top three, which I include because it might not have won but definitely deserves notice.

I think that Terri and Korto have won so many weeks in a row that they had to vary it up a bit. it was an entertainment decision. that's show biz.

i'm having terrible trouble remembering what they said would happen next week... i usually remember the promos. do you remember?

and i'm going to be working the conventions during next week's & the finale of shear genius!! so sad daniel went home, i am usually on team dee but even i have to agree that she has been doing all the same thing recently... which means charlie will probably win, which is sad because from what i understand he's actually just about as famous in the industry as the guest judges and has a huge advantage over the others.

Yeah, I agree. The pink suit is awesome. But Terry's is just AMAZING. I LOVED THAT! It should have won.

I also loved barflicious. I feel very barflicious about Neonlicious.

I think I might have figured out why Terri didn't win. I watched the show back last night and Acid Betty (who looks DAMN HOT out of drag, BTW) referred to herself as a "hybrid" DQ, which I think is more club kid wear than the "typical" female impersonator drag queen. Most people's thoughts of drag queen go right to "guy looking like a woman", so the judges might not have been familiar with the other concept.

But Terri hasn't won anything yet. She keeps coming close to winning but not actually winning.

They're making something from parts, it looks like. They go to a parking garage and then the entire work room is filled with stuff that's definitely not normal fabric.

she hasn't? i could have sworn she has won challenges before. whoops. :is dork, fails: but she and korto are always in the top 3 at the very least. no one else designs the way those two do.

I'll give Joe credit, though -- he went into it with the right attitude, unlike Daniel. Daniel went in intending to make a dress. Joe went in intending to make a Halloween costume. But Terri went in intending to make a statement and it's exactly what she did.

For as boring as Leanne is, she's summed up the problems with Suede and Blayne pretty amusingly. "Leanne likes Suede. But Suede needs to stop talking in third person." Yes, sweetie, this. Except for that and the brief flashes of abject crackitude (see: talking to his dead grandfather or whatever), he seems like a really nice guy. Which pisses me off if only because if you stripped away the "-licious" Blayne's still a douchebag. At least Suede seems redeemable with a good talking-to.

Nope, Kenley beat her in the New York challenge, Korto beat her in the Olympic challenge, and Joe beat her in this challenge. I think she had the best chance of winning in this one, though.

I love that the black girls are the ones kicking ass this season.

Oh, man, if that's true, that's such a stupid reason for her not to win.

Ooo, I missed Acid Betty out of drag. I'll have to rewatch that entire sequence. Well, I'll have to do it anyway because the o.O faces on the designers when they walked in out of drag was too precious. :)

I wonder if personality of the models had anything to do with it. I think Terry's outfit was more interesting and had more thought in the design, but damn if Ann-Margaret didn't work the runway and judging panel.

And it'S a fabulous statement. That was really really cool stuff. Because while the suit looked awesome it was nothing really inventive. It was just a cat-suit in pink. Perfect for the brief and the dragqueen. But the Samurai-outfit was really something special.

Yeah, Leanne is very spot on with both of them. It's a little sad she seems so boring because maybe she could be really funny. And doesn'T Suede have friends? Like friends that tell Suede that talking about Suede in third person is really annoying? And that he has to stop? Why did no one make him stop when he started doing that?

Blayne. He is just a TOTAL douchebag. From the "Holler at your boy!" over the addiction to tanning to the "-liciousness"! DOUCHE all the way.

Well, I will give her that. Joe's client was a bundle of personality, that's for sure. Did you see this on Project Rungay?

She's awesome. :)

The thing is, I get the impression that Suede does because he thinks he can get away with it on TV. When he's with clients, he doesn't do it. I know he didn't do it around Brooke Shields, and I'm pretty he didn't around Hedda Lettuce. Which ... okay, that's pretty douchey in and of itself if it's true.

As for Blayne, all his bullshit wouldn't be so bad if he had some talent to back it up. Look at Christian. Christian could have been an annoying fuck (well, okay, he was) if he hadn't had some chops. If Blayne makes it to the final three, I'm going to vomit.

This is one of those times that I feel bad I will never be as pretty as a drag queen.

indeed. they are a cut and a half above the rest imho. i wouldn't be surprised if terri won the whole thing... it's always the quiet ones, no? she is consistently made of awesome.

have to nitpick with downthread, i think leanne is a genius in a quiet package. i mean, she keeps sort of whispering these total zingers, and her skirt on that new york challenge was perfection.

there's also the fact that terri said she'd done this before, and the others hadn't, so maybe they thought it was too easy to give it to terri? (I know, lame lame lame, but it's a possibility.)

I think Leanne just needs to get comfortable and stop being so nervous. She's not as antsy as Daniel when she's stressed, but you can tell when she is and her work falls apart when she is.

She did do a really great dress last night, too. I completely forgot but, yeah, that was one of the other ones I liked.

Yeah, Varla Jean Merman. She's the bomb. She's done a couple movies, and has shown up on a soap ("All My Children," I think). She does shows in P-town all the time (total drag capitol of the world; it's out on Cape Cod; I'd love to go sometime), and my Jewish, gay, 55-year-old scientist coworker knows her a bit (actually, he'd met/somewhat knows many of the drag queens that were on last night's ep, but then, he knows EVERYBODY). This morning, when I walked into his lab, we had a total squealfest over last night's show.

Also, I think you'd like these:

Yeah I was puzzled by that one too. I LOVED Terri's, rooting for her to win it all at the moment. It's just so freaking cool.
