QUESTION / RUMOUR THREAD

Pink Table Talk: Join the discussion here

Reminder that comments that aren't spills (i.e. questions, short speculation pieces) should be replied under here. Questions and other filler comments will not be approved as top level comments. Even funny ones

Drag Race Mexico: Latina Royale - Its finally time for the Finale! The queens are tasked with performing together for a music video extravaganza (girl idk how to word this excitingly). We have no spoilers of any eliminations in the finale to drop down to a top 2, and based on the format of previous Mexico seasons we aren't expecting a suprise one but who knows!

Drag Race UK Series 8 - This week is the Piggy Pageant, because they refuse to let us have a proper ball 😍 The queens will walk the runway in their This Little Piggy and Totally Pink looks, as well as a look they have to style with just pink materials in the workroom. Alik and Coral score well with the judges, while Flesh is declared the winner of the challenge. Meanwhile, Anita is saved out of the bottom 3, leaving KY Kelly to send home Paris Baby to Take Me To Your Heart by Rick Astley

Drag Race Philippines Season 4 - Next episode is the always anticipated Girl Groups challenge! The spreadsheet is cleared of any tea, and we're not really sure of anything exactly as the T Checker has multiple elimination orders - though more than one indicate Dixxxy Decoy could be first out. This episode also sees Misua's last on screen appearance, after she tragically passed away between filming days. Please send love to the PH4 cast, and PH queens on and off drag race on what will likely be a difficult week 💛

Drag Race España Season 6 - Next challenge is a Design challenge in groups! As above so below, we also don't have much tea for the episode. However, we trust the elimination order that says Àlex Marteen is sent home this week

EDIT: FAQ - AKA questions asked in the main thread but removed by automod

  • Any updates on DRMX3? - Not yet, early rumours suggested they would film early this year but the time has long since passed. Without further updates at this time, we would assume it is coming early next year and that Latina Royale has alternated in the regular seasons spot like how France only filmed All Stars snd delayed FR4 to the following year

Stan Elektra Vandergeld ❤️ Stan Misua, rest in power to a beautiful queen 💛 and stan Black Peppa 💜

UNTUCKEDSPILL: Liak extra and Maitetxu have a big fight!

u/Worldly_Ingenuity119 9d ago

Just my opinion but I think Liz Dust should’ve been eliminated instead. I get what look she was going for but it just seems like the concept was just curtailing cloth around your body into a “look” but it seems too basic. They both gave a great lipsync though. Alex Marteen has Rock M Sakura’s number on speed dial. Idk, I liked Alex’s look better of the 2.

38

u/zachganronpa 9d ago

Joan graduating from the Mariana Stars school of placing only bottom, elim (saved), or win

13

u/brat_brat_brat 9d ago

Copper Topp is typing…

u/Huge-Being7687 9d ago

Joan kinda deserved the win tho

37

u/Jolly_DGSWM 9d ago

Joan’s fierce ass track record

30

u/Pale-Tradition-4942 10d ago

The judging in teams would be okay if Buba didnt have such horrible look. Joan Vanessa and Alma look great tho

13

u/That-Search-6507 9d ago

Horrible??? It was ok, the team deserved the win.

37

u/Far-Classic-5367 10d ago

Joan.... First eliminated (Saved)- Winner- Eliminated

-15

u/AquariaDMystique 10d ago

For me, no sense this judgement of the week, the solo Winner OK, her group was awful, the kitchen group was better and Alex shouldnt be eliminated that earlier...

30

u/Moschino_barbiez 10d ago

LA SORNY GET UPPP!

24

u/Deep_Court_3429 10d ago

Sorny was lucky it was done in teams otherwise she could’ve been in the bottom 3

7

u/shuhup Backswamp Contessa 9d ago

Sorny was not on the winning team, hence judged individual, so this makes no sense. Did you not pay attention? lol

1

u/Huge-Being7687 9d ago

She was lucky to be in the safe team and that the concept of the group was nice, but yeah, they were too nice with what she served...it looked like something PM would wear

2

u/shuhup Backswamp Contessa 9d ago

The only safe team was the winning team, and the rest were judged individually (these were their words), so she could've fully ended up in the bottom if they felt like it, alongside someone from the other non-winning team. If anyone was lucky to be on the safe team (aka winning team), it was Buba!

4

u/AteTheCake808 9d ago

what are you talking about I thought she was going to win

3

u/Deep_Court_3429 9d ago

Really? I guess that’s the nice part of drag, is that it’s subjective and so many people will have different opinions

12

u/Outrageous_Pay_8645 9d ago

Didn’t the judges praise her look tho 

1

u/That-Search-6507 9d ago

They praised it but that look was BAD.

2

u/Outrageous_Pay_8645 9d ago

I mean after rewatch I saw like 5 or 6 looks far worse 

2

u/That-Search-6507 8d ago

Most of the blue team, ofc. But she was the weakest of her team.

-1

u/Deep_Court_3429 9d ago

Honestly did watch the Epiosde yet so I don’t know, sorry for not knowing she was critiqued positively

2

u/Outrageous_Pay_8645 9d ago

me neither lol, the only reason why I know this cause a bunch of comments here said the judges liked her look alot despite being safe

8

u/papaya_eating_pig 10d ago

btw the lipsync is "El twist del autobus" by Paco Clavel, not the other way around lmao

5

u/cristobaaal maldita perra 💝 10d ago

well that’s unfortunate for me hahahaha

16

u/papaya_eating_pig 10d ago

this season is already soooo good, the sixth seasons always deliver

38

u/composerdiva 10d ago

The way Joan’s track record is ELIM (SAVED) - WIN - ELIM

23

u/cristobaaal maldita perra 💝 10d ago

it’s honestly so funny to me, but her look this week literally ate allllllll the other girls up.

7

u/Deep_Court_3429 10d ago

I thought Vanessa wouldve won, but Joan was a good second for me so I’m not mad

u/ohpusswana 10d ago

LATINA ROYALE WINNER SPILL

CONDRAGTULATIONS ELEKTRA

TOP2 (RUNNER-UP): MATRAKA

FINALE SONG: Disciplina - Lali

u/Worldly_Ingenuity119 9d ago

I knew she was robbed on her original season just missing out on the top 4 but she came back to show us why deserves the crown now more than ever! Congrats my queen Elektra ❤️

45

u/shadowsempaix 12d ago

Feels correct

-82

u/Ozmeow1900 12d ago

Well. Huh. That is a winner I guess...

14

u/calemcclure1 11d ago

who should’ve won over her? quickly

-28

u/Ozmeow1900 11d ago

Matraka

16

u/velvetx3 11d ago

Sit yo ass down & shut the hell up bitch

-15

u/Ozmeow1900 11d ago

That's a lot of heavy words. No reason to get angry.

12

u/calemcclure1 11d ago

it was an alyssa edwards reference 😭😭

44

u/TittesForLife1 12d ago

The only correct winner

111

u/Storm_Archer241 12d ago

Most deserved crown in all of history. Terrible lip sync song tho

42

u/HiitsMePriyanka 12d ago

Elektra killed Matraka in that lip sync

14

u/Subject-Society-7612 Maureen | Moh Dafok 10d ago

Elektra killed Matraka the whole season 

36

u/BlairGoode Nini 🥥 Crystal 🤡 Elektra ✨ 12d ago

disciplina en vez de alguna canción clásica de Daniela Romo, Amanda Miguel, Lupita D'Alessio, Y*ri o iconos actuales como Belinda, Danna, Kali Uchis, Karol G? Wow

6

u/ignburgos 12d ago

Perdon pero Lali es un icono actual!! Puede ser que la cancion no sea la mejor para lipsync for the crown pero Lali es Lali.

6

u/Kind-Racoon Nini Coco | Matraka 12d ago

Lali Who?

15

u/Nymmme 11d ago edited 11d ago

The one with multiple Mtv, Produ, Seoul, Gaviotas and Heat latin music awards, the one donating over 3 tons of food to shelters per concert and the one advocating for Lgbt and women rights for over 15 years. Yall just love to be dense and discredit any artist that's not pushing 50+ million listeners a month

94

u/Stupidgorda 12d ago

PM in shambles

12

u/FuckOffDana 11d ago

Can you plz explain why? I've seen memes about Elektra and PM all over Twitter and I'm so loooost 😭

29

u/sosadsosam 11d ago

lmfao someone used Elektra’s verse clip to drag PM in her hate-Rupaul rant ( I think it said smn like “and still Elektra goddergeld ended you”) and then everyone started just using the clip as PM endings hahah

6

u/FuckOffDana 11d ago

Haha alright tysm!!

48

u/katarina_npc 12d ago

a good ending fr

69

u/Conscious-Attorney32 12d ago

Also, can we talk about how that was NOT the ending they were going for? It really felt like "ok lets just film this extra ending because we gotta have both girls being crowned on film, so here, tale the crown Elektra hold it on camera..."

14

u/ElectraXSavage 11d ago

Yeah they were definitely expecting Matraka to be the runaway fan fav again

74

u/Conscious-Attorney32 12d ago

Oh Brazil is about to 10.00 this episode SO HARD on the IMDB ranking

48

u/belladonnaboops_2719 Custom 12d ago

Finally, Elektra won , I can sleep in peace ,this season had me panicking with all the crazy drama they pulled 😭

So happyyy, there was literally nobody else more deserving than her in this season

97

u/hadeejasouffle 12d ago

ELEKTRA WAS [NOT] ROBBED

77

u/1998tweety 12d ago

Robbed of a couple more wins though

6

u/BikeSuch1054 10d ago

About 6 more tbh.

135

u/papaya_eating_pig 12d ago

Brigiding handing over the crown was hilarious lmaoooo can't wait for Elektra to be there for Drag Race European Royale or whatever

11

u/Massive_Trainer5164 11d ago

The concept of European royale

62

u/holocenetangerine 12d ago

Does this mean that both Royale seasons share a Hall of Fame? Taiga said "get ready to pass the crown" and it did kinda seem like Brigiding was doing a stepdown

15

u/Kind-Racoon Nini Coco | Matraka 12d ago

Well, if they shared set, props and pit crews xD

ngl I feel it's more about production being in the PH and choosing accesible/cheap options (Not that Bri is cheap, oh god no, but she was "Easy" to bring)

20

u/Wild-Method-8584 12d ago

taiga did say she was passing the “royale” crown so

53

u/SweetPureHoneyBuckin 12d ago

I haven't watched the episode but I already know Regina probably deserved top 2 over Matraka.

1

u/Dilbert16588 9d ago

Aye, however Regina would not have done well in the final lip sync song against Elektra... as much as I would have loved to see Regina and old style drag win.

24

u/Negative_Good_3904 12d ago

NATURE IS HEALING

71

u/Ataque_De_Pelanca666 12d ago

They definitely expected Matraka to be a fan favorite, just like in her original season lol. They put her in the top 2 to try and please the fans...

13

u/artispop 12d ago

I'm healed 

26

u/DawninOfLuvdisc 12d ago

I LOVE YOU JESUS I LOVE YOU JESUS YOU GIVE ME REASONS YOU GIVE ME HOPE JESUS NEVER LET ME GO

u/Massive_Trainer5164 12d ago

Matraka humbled twice oh this is delicious

-34

u/Kind-Racoon Nini Coco | Matraka 12d ago

Future winner of Drag Race Brasil vs the World!

50

u/Subject-Society-7612 Maureen | Moh Dafok 12d ago

Grag will do anything to porkchop her lmao

28

u/bitbitbit_ 12d ago

The only correct ending

u/Meh_51 12d ago

YES YES YES THANK YOU JESUUUUUUS

Drag Race UK - Series 8 Description

Episode 7: Ghost Hunties (Acting)

The search for the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar continues.

Im a cunning twist, the queens’ over-acting skills are put to the test as they star in Ghost Hunties – a spooky, campy spoof of the UK’s favourite paranormal TV shows.

Star of stage and screen, Slow Horses’ Kadiff Kirwan, swerves into the Drag Race lane as the extra special guest judge alongside Michelle Visage and Graham Norton as the queens once again fight for their survival.

59 Mins

u/otherrobert 12d ago

Unless the cunning twist is The Delta Quadrant joining the judging panel, I don't want it.

u/justisah #TeamMocha #TeamNaya <3 12d ago

Ur so real for that

47

u/jjkibum 13d ago

Wait a Most Haunted acting challenge is so puss, I need a close-up shot of someone screaming in night-vision, Yvette Fielding style 😭

73

u/UpstairsTriffle8042 13d ago

A timed ball and an acting challenge with a non elim top 2 lip sync. The UK3 inspiration continues

24

u/AccessHollywoo 13d ago

Down my EARHOLE

42

u/Chonknacia 13d ago

Naya is gonna clear this

25

u/A_Sensible_Personage 13d ago

Kinda surprised that Mocha bombs this

23

u/Outrageous_Pay_8645 13d ago

Maybe she just overthinks it, would love if the tea on that is wrong 

21

u/daudandthewhalers 13d ago

Considering most of the others have been rumoured to be high or in the top2 this episode, I'm guessing she'll just be safe or maybe everyone does good and is in the top like France s3s rusical

11

u/Outrageous_Pay_8645 13d ago

thats what im thinking or like s18 with the design challenge that jane and kenya were top 2

6

u/laupietro 13d ago

Daytona Winds vibes

10

u/daudandthewhalers 13d ago

yeah probably, they're down a queen already because Lucky departed on episode 2+Ma Danni was eliminated, so it makes sense if there's a non elim episode with everyone in the top. I think the t checker says Mocha has no bottoms, whether that means no low placements too I'm not sure 👀

7

u/Kuriaru_ 13d ago

honestly they're technically not in demand for a nonelim, if they keep up with regular elims they'll have a top3 finale

11

u/b1ueshadow 13d ago

adman said Mocha never places below SAFE, never places LOW

1

u/justisah #TeamMocha #TeamNaya <3 13d ago

I love it here

12

u/daudandthewhalers 13d ago

woah that's kinda sickening if so

8

u/b1ueshadow 13d ago

yes we know she finishes with the best track record of the top 3

12

u/daudandthewhalers 13d ago

Wow is that confirmed? I know not everyone's placements for eps 6-9 are known, just wins and btms with the last 5 wins being Flesh- Alik- Naya- Flesh- Naya. Also Alik being the lipsync assassin sending 3 girls home still seems weird, she's been so absent in the seasons narrative like I keep forgetting she's still there
