   This turned out to be the most odd episode ever. My guess for the reason the queen got sent home is;
   -Buying clothes instead of making or using what she had. (Which means she left the set without permission)
   -Unauthorized access to a cellphone or computer
   -Drugs/hormones

   Of course the show was gonna milk this so it won’t be discussed until the reunion. And Untucked was edited all weird.

   Its like the finale of ANTM All-Stars all over again but at least their gonna address it.

   The team that won was phenomenal! I completely agreed with the guest star’s opinion on the shoes. They were GORGEOUS!

   I thought Phi Phi in the “Untucked” episode was pathetically insecure. (Well … more vile than usual. Uggh!) The person she attacked handled it so gracefully. Very impressive and kudos to her for keeping her cool.

   I’m going to guess that the exiting Queen knew that she was going to be called out on the runway by Ru when they came in that morning…which is why she was so uncharacteristicly quiet. But Gurl kept it together and put on a fine performance. But knowing what was to come – the stress and nerves of that may indeed have caused the stageside chuckage.

   I, too, am of the mind that she snuck in a cellphone or laptop OR left the lockdown without permission. As distant and loopy as she sometimes appears, I think that’s her “persona” at work, and not drug-induced. (Ru is no dummy, and THAT shiz would not have been allowed to fester.)

   I will totally miss our departed Queen, and truly wish her well.

   Now…Team Sharon/Chad/Latrice!!!

   Ugh. I have never disliked a person so much as I do PhiPhi. What a noxious, vile, horrible creature. Poor Sharon having to work with her.

   This episode was weird and so was untucked, I really didn’t get what was happening or what the Queen did.

   Deja – I don’t think it was hormones…Wasn’t Kenya on hormones during the show? I thought she mentioned it. I could totally see it being clothing though.

   @WendyBird I just threw that in there as a last resort. I didn’t know Kenya was on hormones. I thought that was against the rules?

   Thought Kenya stopped the hormones before the show, although she still (natch) had some effects.

   I’m so sad that the person who had to sashay away was revealed in the comments before I had a chance to watch the epi on my ‘puter today. Was so excited to read the minicap that I got to that first.

   *heavy, heavy sigh* for the spoil and for the gurl gone home. Luv ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Well, my friend told me to post on this site because he thinks only gays watch this show.

   I am a old, straight, white, grandma. This is one of my favorite shows. I LOVE IT!

   Checked the web, and I cannot believe that MY FAVORITE, of all season has be disqualifed?????

   Do not know what she/he did, and I do not really care! From what I understand there is a lot of craps that goes on in this type of community. However, trash goes around everywhere!!

   Put my baby back on or from what my friend says this is your last season. If my Ms. Wonderful does come back this year, maybe next if you come back on She can pop out of the box. Like the PIS Piece of Sh@@ ( SHANGELA) not sure this is spelled correctly.

   I will miss Grandma’s little cutie pie

   Hope MS. Pee Pee goes next!!!!!!!

   Whatever she did, I can’t help but think PeePee was the one who squealed the loudest about it. It seems like most of them knew, but nobody else seemed as vicious about it. Of course nobody is ever as vicious as P2, but whatever.

   Sharon was hilarious and all around awesome this week.

    It seemed on the Untucked episode that all of the contestants knew of the eliminated queen’s potential cheating or whatever she did to get herself eliminated. I think that if the eliminated queen was cheating, she was right to be called out by someone (even if that person happened to be Pee Pee).

    I have to say, this LSFYL was the best of the season and Sharon’s brand of comedy is growing on me. Latrice seems like she’s going to win and truly represents for the “big girls” after the atrocious ones we’ve had to endure in the first three seasons of this show.

    Well of course she squealed like a little piggy. She has been out to get her from the start. More than she was against all the others.

    There are offenses and there are offeses. wonder what she did. If it affected the others’ chances, she deserves to be tossed. Otherwise…

    Thanks for the link, S-Natch. It was spoiled anyway so it won’t really spoil anything.

    I liked Willam’s style of comedy (maybe a bit more than her style of drag) but she did give the impression of being “above-it-all.” I’m not surprised that she didn’t think certain rules applied to her..

    I found it interesting, that while Phi Phi is the most obnoxious and confrontational of all the queens, none of them really seemed to like Willam much. Even Latrice…and Latrice loves everybody! I think the air Willam brought was that she was more experienced, already a star…and she made sure everyone knew it, honey!
    But she didn’t bring any sense of sisterhood.. like she cdowesn’t know how to bond with people. I felt sad when she said she didn’t have many friends. I’m like girl, break down those walls! You’re pretty, you’re witty…now be nice! lol

    I think that goes right back to when Willam said she never had had a Drag Family or a Drag Mom before. She’s used to being an actor where it’s pretty cut throat and confidence is everything instead of a drag family which can be competitive at times but is supportive and a place for love and caring.

    I think she had a phone. It ‘made everyone look bad’ since they couldn’t contact their families and she could. So, it made it look like they were lying. She also could go online and buy stuff with a phone. Just a guess.

    True. But when she mentioned not having friends, I didn’t think she was referring to only other drag queens. I think she meant she didn’t have many friends, period. And her schtick, while entertaining for us viewers, probably pushed the other queens away because she appeared to be always “on.”

    Ru asked to see the real “Willam”, because they didn’t feel like she was showing her true self, but more playing a character, and not showing any compassion to the other girls or vulnerability in her confessionals.
    I’m glad they did show a bit of her vulnerable side this episode..there was even a scene where she appeared to be crying but they cut it so quick, I was like, “WHA?”

    Side note:) There also seemed to be a bit of tension between her and Sharon that was hinted at this week, no? I wonder how much else was edited out through the weeks…

    I loved Chad’s comments about Phi Phi..”Bitch is hungry!” LOL

    You know, if it WAS because of smuggling in a cellphone, it would certainly explain PhiPhi’s suprisingly generous offering of her 1 phone call to Chad.

    From all of her other CU Next Tuesday moves, it’s crystal clear that PhiPhi doesn’t do a daaaaaamn thing simply out of friendship – there HAD to be an ulterior motive. And by making a big display of giving her call to Chad, it was yelling “Look at me, everybody! Even though SOME queens might be breaking the rules about calls, I follow the rules. Me me me!”

    Of course, I could be wrong. But if it turns out that was the reason, I’m going to hate that wonky-eyed busted showgirl bitch even more.

    Posted March 21, 2012 at 4:20 am

    I had hoped it was because she actually likes Chad. But, I also thought possibly PhiPhi didn’t have anyone to call.

    Willam has said it wasn’t a phone or computer. He also said they take them out to shop.

    If not for some of the DRAMA, I would think it was kind of a boring type of thing. But, since the drama comes from the direction of a certain showgirl, ironically dressed this episode, who knows…

    Okay, I get it. Now that I have read all your comments it is pretty obvs that willam wasn’t much of a team player in the sense of being real and family. And okay, he was acting, not crying, all those times the others accused him of acting, nc.

    But I just can’t help lovin’ Willam. I have a theatah background and am used to raging egos and people being “on’ all the time, so it just doesn’t bother me.

    I just wished that Phi Phi had committed some sort of offense to get her ass booted (oooh I did a pun!) off the show. Talk about someone who is neither family nor a team player, and without Willam’s talent and flair also.

    Thank you so much S-Natch for the spoiler link. I had watched the epi so I simply enjoyed it.

    I don’t know about not having many friends in general, I have a feeling Willam is different v. the character he puts out. Maybe he was constantly “on” because of the constant cameras?

    The editing is always super weird on Drag Race, I can never keep up with everything going on.

    I do think Sharon and Willam might have had a bit of friction but being a competition there’s always friction. I do think a lot of the questions and revealed answers for the polygraph were edited for better/more “shocking” results.

    Haha! I love Chad, she’s such a lady!

    Willam was my favorite, too. But, being an actor does mean he’d be used to preparing things on his own unless he was specifically working with someone. It didn’t seem as if he had a problem with team competitions.

    I think there must be roles in these drag families and people in them can see where someone might fit in another one. But, never having been in one, Willam was clueless about it. Maybe there’s some kind of drag protocol he kept stepping all over? But, I really thought he got along pretty well with most of them. Considering it’s a competition.

    He is still saying the tears were real. Wasn’t his work area near Kenya’s? He might have sincerely been sorry to see her go. I mean backstage because wasn’t it PhiPhi who said, “she shed a tear” to Sharon? I know Phi later said Willam was acting, but he meant on stage. Of course, some people cry when they see other people cry and Kenya was crying.

    I don’t know… this episode was steeped in mystery being how non-serious the show generally is. It does seem like something specifically happened. I wonder if the lie detector test played into this. Willam DID say it took a long time for them to be done. But, his opinion of waiting a long time may vary from someone else’s.

    I wouldn’t extrapolate too much from an edited comment on a TV show to apply to Willam’s real life. After all, he also said he thought he had a fantastic life before he heard them all talking about drag families. He’s a working actor and that’s his life so he doesn’t perform in the clubs, often, but he’s clearly friends with other very high profile LA queens since both Detox and Vicky are in the video with him, as is Pit Crew Jason.

    Plus, he was very friendly with Chad in the premiere and Chad defended Willam’s talking about being on TV as “his life” and that’s what they do. Latrice got along with Willam just fine, Sharon seems the type to “read” friends (also makes botox/collagen jokes to Chad), Jiggly and Willam seemed to be “joke fighting” about the boats and Dida stayed with Willam for the premiere.

    But he does have a bold and “bitchy” persona that he works in drag. So it was easier to create a sense of “friction” because he was probably always getting up to something that they could interview about.

    Exactly. There was a conspiracy to get Willam ousted. Sharon and Phi Phi both wanted her gone and you don’t sabotage a queen you like. Seems like a few of them knew about it and no one rallied against it. Even Latrice seemed to only be concerned about the plan backfiring on her, rather than any concern for sabotaging Willam. She seemed to be really considering throwing the challenge. That speaks volumes..

    Sharon is posting a LOT of PRO-Willam stuff on Facebook. Without going into a lot of detail (in case there is SOMEONE this still isn’t spoiled for) – I don’t get the impression that Sharon has any kind of problem with Willam whatsoever. I blame the editing for what appeared to be tension with Sharon last night.

    I understand the drama at hand is the biggest thing for everyone, but when Willam said her shoes were “Ver-Sayce” a la Nomi Malone, that should have given her the crown right then and there. Fine, fresh, fierce, etc.

    The rumor around the web is Willam had items delivered to his hotel room which(according to the rumors) is against the rules. They said that is why PEEPEE said Willam was using other people credit cards. Mind you I’m only repeating what I have read, I in no way shape or form know what the rules are to be on any reality(or scripted) television show. I thought the video was funny esp since it was a parody of on of my favorite songs.

    Phi Phi wanted Latrice to throw it because she was obviously threatened by Latrice’s partner. She had more talent in her “Ver-sayce” clad pinky toe than Phi Phi will ever ever aspire to.

    I am now obsessed with this show … heh … I’ve found some fun videos.

    Here’s one with Sharon & Phi Phi being interviewed @ a gig in Philly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80K5bZIqzEE&NR Sharon looks absolutely beautiful. Inside and out. Grudgingly admitting that PhiPhi seems to have learned how to put on a better face (makeup only).

    This video I loved! It’s the reactions to the gals as they’re being told they made it onto the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6X5fqMFu8w I LOVE the reactions of Latrice, Dida and Sharon. I also love the fact that while Sharon is gushing … her cat is on the bed licking its privates. HA!

    Rewatch the episode after watching Untucked. The queens, minus Phi Phi, are shocked at the disqualification. And Latrice and Willam share a very genuine hug when they’re called the winners. Whatever dissected conversation was presented on Untucked doesn’t change the sincere emotion between them on stage when they won. And you’d think someone who spent 18 months in prison would have a more circumspect approach to a reality show competition.

    They can Breitbart the footage/conversations all they want but nothing Willam did on the show, other than run his mouth and talk about his acting, would warrant any conspiring against him. If any, or all, of them were, that’s on them and makes them, not Willam, look worse in my eyes.

    @Derek – I think Willam’s probably under a gag order not to speak about what happened. Since neither the regular episode nor Untucked addressed it, I’m pretty sure he’s not allowed to discuss it, either.

    Posted March 21, 2012 at 8:15 pm

    I don’t think they conspired per se. The one floated the idea and everyone else seemed to know about it. They seemed kind of non-chalent about it.

    So, I kind of took it more like they didn’t feel close to him rather than they actively disliked him. I think they liked him o.k. Maybe they were miffed about something that happened, but I imagine they got over it (if they were miffed). Well, except for the ironically dressed double Greek letter, who knows about her.

    But, if someone floated a similar idea about Chad or Latrice… I think they would be cut off at the pass. That didn’t happen.

    @gunkata: Well said. That was the point I was trying to make. Every seemed to get along with Willam okay but never really “warmed” to her in the sense that they would have his back if anything like that went down. At least, of the queens that were left. Maybe Willam had more of a rapport with some girls who were eliminated earlier. But it seemed to me, that there wasn’t a kumbaya vibe with the remaining queens. That doesn’t mean they hated her…but they didn’t seem ready to jump to her defense when Phi Phi went ballistic, nor did anyone discussing the “conspiracy” say no, giving their reason as liking Willam.

    My only goal was to point out the relationship between him and the queens as it was shown. One can argue editing all day long, but one rarely does when it shows them in a positive light. Some may think Willam got the bitch edit, i think she got the funny-as-hell edit. But the reaction shots/comments from the other girls weren’t quite so complimentary.

    Yeah… no one had much to say (that we’re shown).

    I do think part of it was some of them were worried who might lose the LSFYL and have to sashay. So, their minds were on that more than what a certain screechy person was ranting about.

    And I don’t think they expected what happened. In fact, I think they didn’t expect there to be much of any punishment. So, they were trying to put a stop to whatever it was. That may be the somewhat miffed part. When the DQ happened, that more than did away with those concerns.

    I wonder why this thing put my comment so high up… weird.

    Vallegirl, it seemed to be more of a ‘meh, whatever’ thing than a ‘hate’ thing. I think there were a lot of distractions this episode… it all just seemed random and hard to follow. Partly, I guess, because people had to keep going to do various things. So, maybe some of them forgot about it until the screechy one’s incessant screeching reminded them of her attempted ploy.
