Only Ongina and Nina have the personality it takes to run with new obstacles, work/converse/perform with new people on the spot and be likeable characters in and of themselves as opposed to just performing a set on stage. That’s what will get you your own show! Who wants to watch a show hosted by Shanelle? Nobody.

Bebe’s great too, and I like her, but she’s too safe – too old school drag. The drag queen of the 21st century has to push the limits and only Nina has that edge now, though she does seem a bit lacking in confidence. USE that accent girl – it’s an asset, not a flaw!

The show is obviously fixed and the show has lost it’s integrity.
I’ve lost respect for Rupaul and LOGO.

Such a shame. It could have been a really good show, but now that Ongina is gone. The show has lost it’s magic.

C.U.N.T. —- Creativity, Uniqueness, Nerves and Talent?

First of all ….

Ongina is VERY creative! You can clearly see it in her style.
Ongina is also very Unique! I’ve never seen a Drag Queen like her.
Ongina also has Nerves. She nailed two of the challenges and did a great job with her interviews.
She also has Talent! This girl can dance!

As far as Rebecca??? I don’t know why this Queen lasted this long.

In the first episode, she was having a hard time creating her mediocre costume.

She’s also not Unique. Her look is very common in the drag community.

Something is really fishy with LOGO. I think they just kept her there for drama factor.

Shame on you LOGO and RUPAUL. SHAME!!!!!!

i had thought ongina would finish at least top 2 – but this goes to show you a true artist has no place in mainstream media.

the others can be found at any gay bar on any corner of any town.

And, you don’t need to have behind-the-scenes know-how to understand editing and producer involvement. You just need to not live in a cave.

Anyway still team Nina here. She turned it out and she’s not as uptight as Bebe.

Anyway, I was really sad to see Ongina go as well. I really like her. She never really seemed to have anything negative to say about anyone. I think there was a big mistake made in this week’s elimination.

Rebeca can’t even walk in heels properly, not like the others seem to. She should of gone home. And that wig she had on was cheap looking.

Bebe, don’t care for her at all. She just screams cheap tranny hooker to me.

Nina Flowers. I like her. She’s now my current favorite.

And that other one, the over the top one, is it Shannel? eh. She’s to showgirl for my taste.

My two favorites were Tammie Brown and Ongina and they’re both gone, so whatever with it now I guess.

sweet pea rocked!

I love Ongina, at least she has some individuality. Bebe is usually pretty cool, but that lip synching performance was way over-the-top // and if it’s too much for a drag queen, then you know it’s got to be bad!

I miss Ongina already, she grew on me, at first I didn’t like her, but I came to appreciate her uniqueness.

Nina is fierce, but how fricken short is she?

Bebe – Like her but she seems limited.

Rebecca – beautiful, I like the boy Rebecca better (can’t remember his name).

Shannel – hate her.

Um, I can’t believe nobody had anything to say about “Sweet Pea”, she seemed to enjoy her make over quite a bit. I hope in the parts we didn’t get to see that the judges and Ru really complemented the real girls.

but let’s be honest. girl messed up.

her outfit was not good. she looked like a boy. she even commented that she put forth her outfit as such. her partner had gorgeous makeup, but so too was her outfit not that great.

ru said it, “ongina, i cant believe it but you got outshined.”

i hate shannel. bebe’s partner wasn’t good either, but bebe put forth effort in the lip sync. ongina didn’t.

girl needed to show something in the lip sync. anything. ru paul just need something to pick her over bebe, but ongina didn’t provide much of anything by way of dance.

The producers f*cked it all up by having Rebecca stay, so now we’ll have to endure 3 more weeks of her bitchy drama. Sigh. :-(

No thank you. You can keep the mall to yourself. I am sure it is prime property in this economy.

“well, showmanship and exciting dance are not “simple skills”

That’s certainly true for Rebecca because the other girls in the last episode all had something to offer. Rebecca seems like an also-ran in comparison.

“i would think part of the criteria for judging the winner is “potential”

Well, if you call imitating a hooker “potential” Rebecca certainly has that one down. Go back to last week’s lip sync, Jade showed much more potential than Rebecca did and Jade should have stayed.

Speaking of Shannel, she felt sick, but she did compete in the mini challenge. Unlike Rebecca, who completely ditched the stage in last week challenge. How is that different than Tammy surrendering in the lip-sync in Week 2? You quit, you lose, and Rebecca should have been booted in the viva glam week on so many levels.

And one more about Shannel, can’t stand her attitude when she made fun of Jade in the Oprah challenge. She’s trying to be the know-it-all of the group. It would be interesting if we have a “True Beauty” episode on all the Queens on RuPaul’s Drag Race.

well, showmanship and exciting dance are not “simple skills”.

ps
i would think part of the criteria for judging the winner is “potential”.
now that ongina is gone, rebecca is the only contestant with real “supermodel” beauty potential.
i’m only saying!

if you say don’t forget shannel (sp?)
i have a mall in las vegas i would like to sell you.

Seems to me you are the one with the jealousy issue. I did not see anything remotely amazing with Rebecca in the last episode. Recall the judges’ harsh comments on Nina not covering her tattoos up at the beginning? If anything, Rebecca should have been booted just because she did not cover up her make-over’s tattoo. Nina Flowers, on the other hand, wore a long sleeves to cover her tattoos and that look still worked.

“i don’t think she’s better than the other contestants – she possesses little showmanship or dance skills, but she can learn”

5 episodes in, don’t you think it is a little late to still be “learning” some simple skills. We are talking about a show that is broadcast on national TV, right?

As to Ongina being booted because of Bebe’s dance: While I like them both, if tumbling around the staged is all you need to win the lip sync, then Jade should have stayed and Rebecca should have packed her bags last week. Jade was a much better dancer in that show than Rebecca.

I agree with Queerty, something is fishy about the producers. I am done with the show and if enough of us feels that same, the ratings would speak louder than the producers’ fixed decision.

i agree 100%.
the show is edited to make rebecca the bitch, but the footage shown of her doesn’t support that.
i like rebecca.
i don’t think she’s better than the other contestants – she possesses little showmanship or dance skills, but she can learn.
she can bring back veejays and be a host on VH1…
drag queens in practice don’t have to be campy & loud, if they are as pretty as rebecca.
she needs to work on her makeup!
i like her fishy style because she keeps it real and current.
she reflects the way girls in the club look today!

by the way, rebecca is adorable as a boy and her nose looks as if it could be real to me.
i like her headbands, cut up t-shirts and curly hair out of drag.

don’t hate, appreciate!
the editor of this queerty column is clearly jealous of “latin boys”.

“…who charms the crabs of fishermans’ wharf right out of their shells?
phyllis, it sure isn’t yoouu!”

Neither is Shannel, Bebe, or Nina.

Rebecca…completely forgettable. It’s not that she even looks like every drag queen alive. She just looks like a hooker.

That said, she’s playing this game to win and when all is said and done, it is a contest. She played her hand with mad skill.

Maybe it’s simply that she’s wildly beautiful, but somebody here had to stand up for Rebecca.

Whatever it was that inspired the wig-tossing hissy-fit in Bebe during the LSFYL will hopefully never be seen again: Girl went from composed seductress to crack-whore on her last rock in a SNAP! Uuhhhgly I tell you.

Interestingly, while flipping the channels I caught a snip of 365gay news right … well who did they have a blurb about? Ongina! Yes, sure did. They were talking about her first appearance as the Viva Glam gurl for MAC so I knew she wasn’t going to win but damn.

And who the hell recruited the Russian boxer to have her lip-synch? It was fitting that she was paired with Nina (they both looked fantastic! and should have won) but that was a shade shady Ms. Paul.

I love Ongina, but I didn’t see her winning this thing at all. The bitch isn’t really a “Drag Queen”. She is what I would call a “hybrid”. While I love what she does, I don’t feel like she is fitting the standards. She doesn’t tuck, she doesn’t wear wigs, and she doesn’t do tits. Um…. aren’t these kind of key factors in the drag illusion? I love the androgyny that is Ongina, but I feel like that is a whole different competition. Maybe I am being too narrow in my fews but if we are looking to have another RuPaul, I want one with tits and big hair.

Oh, I’m in complete agreement that Ongina shouldn’t have been eliminated, but I’m not convinced that this style of elimination wasn’t in the works already.
