I didn't vote to watch either of the soap operas, both of them having a ratio of one talented person to two not-so-talented persons (three if you count Wilmer - least he was good lookin'). ALL T ALL SHADE

I haven't seen this episode yet, but what pray tell is Shangela's cornsage? I've tried googling it but I just got some photos of Shangela and some of corn.

For the season 2 reunion, Shangela donned a corsage made to look like corn. Perhaps the saddest part is that RAJA actually helped her make this travesty: http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii529/starevacantly/shangela_zps107b196e.png

Oh my! Thank you for the picture.

I've been wanting Coco to go home since early in the competition. Something about her just rubs me the wrong way. Then, to see her send home one of my favorites? Devastated. I'm devastated. Someone needs to send that bitch packing. I've had it, officially!

I was surprised that there are more votes for Coco to sashay away compared to Alyssa. Despite Coco's bitchy character and your dislike towards her, she managed to pull off a very strong lipsync, so like it or not, she deserved to stay.

[stormkpr.livejournal.com]

I do agree. I dislike Coco, no doubt about that. But her lipsync was a bit better, and Alyssa's performance in the last several episodes really was bad.

Overall, I'd rather pay to see an Alyssa show than a Coco show at a club, but on Drag Race Coco has overall performed slightly better than Alyssa.

Although given how many times Coco has been in the bottom, this girl is going home if she EVER has to LSFYL again, no matter what happens!

[teemn.livejournal.com]

I agree with everthing you said!

[myswtghst.livejournal.com]

It was a difficult question for me, because honestly, I did think Coco outperformed Alyssa in the lip sync, and her runway look was much stronger, so I thought she deserved to stay... but I'm so over Coco's attitude and cattiness that I would have preferred she be the one to sashay away. I'm kind of guessing people voted based on want, rather than deserve, in this instance.

[kapvik.livejournal.com]

^ This. Based on the LSFYL alone, Coco outperformed Alyssa and therefore deserved to stay. But if the judging criteria is who would I rather put up with as a person, then Alyssa wins hands down and Coco can go jump in a lake.

Since we're ostensibly trying to stay true to the standards of the actual competition, I said that Alyssa really should have sashayed. But all T all shade, I wish Coco has sucked more and been sent home.

Even if I'd never seen the behind-the-scenes with Coco, I would've chosen Alyssa's performance over hers, specifically because I found the lip-pointing a bit off-putting. To me, it seemed overdone and trying way too hard. Just my opinion. I did like her runway, though. :)

[vermilionette.livejournal.com]

Apart from the lip-pointing, Coco benefited from her outfit at that time. She had these long hanging sleeves and she was smart because she made use of them. The way she did spin her sleeves was so beautiful and dramatic, compared to Alyssa's spin-in-the-air-then-split. We've seen too many splits on LSFYL already, and what Coco did was somewhat "new". Did anyone notice Ru turned to Michelle and exclaimed "Wow" at the end of the lipsync? Perhaps it was a reference for the energies of both queens during the battle, or perhaps it was referred to Coco.

But well, honestly, I'm not really that into Coco as well, anymore (I mean I liked her in the beginning, but I kinda hate her now), but IMO if one did something spectacular then one did something spectacular. And that gotta earn respect. However, no worries, my guess is Coco's days are already numbered on the show that she's gonna sashay away even before we start counting.

I agree that Serena Cha Cha's dress was worse, but I wonder if Santino meant "worst dress that a queen brought from home." The contestants have created plenty of terrible dresses in the various limited-weird source-mop something-creation challenges, but if you limit it to outfits that theoretically arrived in the workroom ready to go, Santino's critique makes more sense.

Though Roxxxy's pink thing last week was worse, and she brought THAT from home.

[nearlynina.livejournal.com]

Oooh good point

[entj.livejournal.com]

Side note: does anyone besides me think that if it hadn't been the plan for Alyssa and Coco to LSFYL against one another, that Detox would've been in the bottom instead of Coco? In my opinion, Detox was rather lackluster in both the challenge and on the runway, while Coco's runway was gorgeous. I believe that, in a normal situation, that scoop of mango gelato would've saved Miss Coco.

[kapvik.livejournal.com]

I think Detox performed better with Wilmer Valderaama than Coco. It took Coco a ridiculously long time to get her shit together around him before she could do the scene without breaking character. And Detox gave her character a personality by channeling Groucho Marx (albeit in a shoddy sort of way) during her bit with WV, while Coco just came off as a starstruck and generic girl. Coco also seemed to do a lot of mugging right into the camera, which was off-putting to me. Everyone was supposed to be over the top, but not breaking the 4th wall like that.

And as kitschy as the sombrero was, it made Detox's runway more Latin than Coco, who looked more Caribbean/West Indies. It looked like something Rihanna would wear if Rihanna didn't love dressing like a hoochie so much. I know the judges don't usually hold the queens to the runway theme 100%, but I would have dinged Coco for that.
