Snatch Game - The Polls

[keeper-of-stars.livejournal.com]

Hey, dolls! It’s poll time!

Below the cut you will find a few polls based off of this week’s episode. They are spoilery, so enter at your own risk!


[Poll #1899186]

In case you didn’t notice, I tried something a little different with the polls this week. Some of the comments from the episode discussion amused me so much that I had to add them in. If you like this let me know and I’ll keep it up.

Feel free to discuss your answers. :)

I said way back in the first poll that I thought Jinkx would turn out to be the dark horse - and my bb zoomed ahead this week. I don't know if she'll win, but she's my favorite queen this season.

Also, Grey Gardens is one of my favorite movies, and I was so disappointed that almost none of the queens knew about it. Between her awful performances, the dumb feud, and her giving Jinkx a hard time, I can't defend Coco anymore - sorry 'bout it.

Don't know why Detox was mad about Lineysha expressing wanting to go home... how is that disadvantageous to you? What da problem is?
She was just insecure about being in the bottom 2.

I honestly get irritated every time on a reality competition show when someone harps on it when, in a moment of stress and exhaustion, another competitor expresses they want to go home. Yeah, it's annoying when someone seems to be giving up, but it happens to the best of us, and if the person pulls it together, I don't understand why one moment of weakness should define them.

Which is all to say - I totally agree with you. :)

Detox was playing the part of the uber-competitor, whereby she doesn't want to waste time on someone who isn't going to challenge her. Reality shows are full of this sort of nonsense.

And anyway, it's not as if Lineysha is the first person on the show to have a moment of weakness. Remember Delta's exit? And Shannel's? And Yara's? The competition is hard. Detox better hope she never breaks down, because I will remember this moment and let her have it.

Besides, Lineysha turned it out in the lip sync, and Detox only won because of her unhinged lips. If Detox wants to complain about a lack of challenge, she should have LSFYL'ed against Serena Caca.

HAHA. I'm may not have the time to join in the discussions as much as I'd like, but I'm always laughing at your (and everyone else's) comments. :)

You are clever, keeper_of_stars! First, thank you so much -- I'm delighted to be included in your poll. :) Second, I think it's a great idea, and a subtle incentive to encourage activity in the community. After all, if folks respond, they're more likely to be quoted. :) Good community management!

[keeper-of-stars.livejournal.com]

Why thank you! I love this community and I want to see it do well. I'm always so amused by the episode discussions and I thought that it would be a fun way to include the members in the polls. (And yes... I was hoping that it would encourage even more participation. ;) )

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked being included.

P.S. Feel free to call me Squeeka.

I don't know about everyone else... but I'm getting tired of pageant queens. And it kinda gets on my nerves when the queens on the show give Jinx shit about being campy. Being a drag queen started out as being an entertainer. Personally, I don't see why anyone would want to go to a drag show just see men dress up like girls to just be pretty. Phi Phi, Alyssa, Coco... all pageant queens... all are less entertaining than queens like Pandora, Jinx, Raven, Juju, Tammie Brown, etc.

On another note... has anyone noticed how feminine every queen is this season compared to other seasons?

[keeper-of-stars.livejournal.com]

YES. I'd much rather see a well-rounded queen than one who is nothing more than a face or a look. Like you said, it's about entertainment and I want to be entertained. Give me a queen that'll make me laugh over a beauty queen any day. Unless, of course, that beauty queen can ALSO make me laugh.

P.S. LOVE your icon!

I definitely agree with pageant girls who can't do anything else but stand there and look pretty, but I think that Phi Phi gets unfairly put in that box. Yes she's a pageant queen, but she knows how to create a character, she can act, and she can be funny. Queens like Alyssa and Coco who cant do any of that are just boring as all get out.

I want to see Alaska, Detox and Jinkx become the top three. Wasn't sure who I wanted there besides Alaska and Detox. This episode made it clear. It's gotta be Jinkx.

oh hey my comment is an option, haha. I feel like I have to vote for it. I don't think she'll win because of the edit, but I desperately want her to.
