Date: 2010-04-28 12:53 am (UTC)That pissed me off royally. Forget the wigs and make-up (though that was certainly obnoxious), she really could've seriously hurt Juju and the fact that Ru didn't call her out on it and Tyra tried to giggle it off like it was nothing makes me more angry the more I think about it. I think that moment during the critique also made me mad, because I had flashbacks to last season's finale when Rebecca insulted the other girls and then tried to giggle and like it was so cute of her to do. It's not.
"Hi, I am Tyra Sanchez, the New Tyra and America's Next Drag Superstar. I love Beyonce. Now watch me walk up and down this stage for 10 minutes."
Lol! Sounds fairly accurate, I think. I'm planning on trying to see the tour in June and if that happens, I swear I'm walking out. Or throwing tomatoes.
I could have sworn there was cash involved in that when Nina won it; am I wrong?
I don't remember the exact amount of it, but yeah, I'm pretty sure they did give her money to spend during the Vegas trip that she won.
If she actually gets to come back for Cycle 3, I would not object.
Neither would I. Just from the little we got to see of her, I loved Shangela's personality and eagerness to learn and grow, etc. It would be cool if they gave her another go.
I'm going to join the others in pretending the show was cancelled due to moral outrage after Jujubee was eliminated.
Is it bad that I couldn't really muster up enough emotion to be outraged at Juju leaving? She's my number two girl this season, so you'd think I would've been really pissed as opposed to, "aw, that sucks." I think I was too emotionally burnt out by the eliminations of Jessica and Pandora that I just didn't have it in me.
Clearly, they're looking for America's Next Top Drag Supermodel (which in hindsight Bebe also fits the bill for), and should reposition their messages thus.
It really does seem that way, I wish they would just say it already. And though I'm not a fan of Bebe, per se (the wide eyes during her lipsyncs was off-putting, to say the least), I could deal with her winning, because at least she has the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, talent, as well as class and grace. Things that seemed missing from Tyra for the most part.
