RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 7

[Phoenix]

I went on reddit the other and they had a list of the guest judges and the challenges and they seemed quite fun so I have faith. I just don't get the delay, unless logo is trying to launch other shows and want to benefit from the drag race viewers.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I too have a really unsettled feeling about Season 7. The trailer that was released really screams 'budget' after the incredible Season 6 extravaganza

I think what they were aiming for was the ultra-gloss plain background aesthetic most fashion brands have adopted over the past few years (best example I can give is the Philip Lim website - https://www.31philliplim.com/shop/mens/ )

Unfortunately this is DRAG RACE not Balenciaga (unless we are counting before Mimi there was MARIAH) , and most of this season's cast are quite aged. Coupled with the most high-fashion queen this season (Pearl) looking like shit in the promo under studio lights I'm not sure if a high-fashion aesthetic is the best fit for what seems like quite an old, slightly regional select of queens this season.

Happy to eat my words though!

The Season 7 premier has been confirmed for 2nd March and it looks like SANTINO RICE is OUT and has been replaced by two new main judges: Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews.

 

[Phoenix]

I don't know the first and Ross Mathews is not likeable or entertaining.

 

[Kala]

I don't know the first and Ross Mathews is not likeable or entertaining.

Honey, ANYTHING is an improvement on Santino Rice!

 

[Phoenix]

Oh Carson is that guy from Queer Eye, yeah I'd take Santino over both.

 

[JillTyrell]

AND Mel B has been confirmed as a guest judge

 

[Phoenix]

Fook Yeah

I hope this means that they will lipsynch to Tell Me or even better Pack Your Shit.

 

[monsta]

MERLE is back as a guest judge

 

[Dark Carnival]

AND Mel B has been confirmed as a guest judge

For those that haven't been able to see the trailer due to location blocks:

HERE

 

[Dark Carnival]

It will be different without Santino though and I can't tell if it'll be better or worse.

 

[VoR]

I kind of liked Santino. You need a mean judge.

 

[Doodvid]

Santino

Merle Can't wait for the Merle/Michelle showdown - hoping she'll be all Doctor Who anniversary special about it. "So you're my replacements-a dandy and a clown".

 

[ameraal]

santino wasn't mean, just a bit gormless. i liked the whiff of seasoned drag perv about him.

 

[ameraal]

i still have visions of his quite big nips making smoothies mind!

 

[monsta]

Gagging at KWEEN ALASKA as Anna Wintour

 

[Dark Carnival]

I don't want to analyse the trailer by watching it a hundred times and figuring out who's going to last, but I kinda am.

 

[COB]

I love some of Max's looks in that trailer, I'm labelling her as my official queen to watch :smoke:

 

[Dark Carnival]

Not enough Katya

 

[Phoenix]

Higher budget for guests

#absolutely x 3

Best selling author Merle is going to supply so many gifs. Her blank side-eye looks of silent consideration/panic (pencil held at corner of mouth optional) have been queerly missed.

That trailer has been taken down sadly.

that looks good tbqf (tm).

i'm slowly making my way through the untuckeds as i haven't really seen more than a couple and i'm at season 5. alyssa truly is one of the dimmest queens ever *.*

 

[dUb]

This season looks FAB. I really just adore this show. Despite my using the 'ANTM for drag queens' shorthand to pitch it to people, there's really nothing like it

 

[VoR]

Is it worth a new thread for Season 7? 47 pages is a bit unwieldy.

 

[dUb]

I think so!

 

[dUb]

TBH I think there'd be a good argument for a SUB-FORUM at this stage

 

[Tetris-Rock]

NOW NOW, Dub. Although it may indeed RAKE in the new members...

 

[dUb]

I mean IT'S A THOUGHT ISN'T IT

Anyone else weirdly into the bit where Ru mouths "You don't" and shakes her bangles?

 

[dUb]

Also Trixie out of drag (slagging off Ginger in the trailer) is a yes from me

 

[Phoenix]

It's the best part.

Also Cover Gurlz 2 is out next week for those looking to get ear raped.

 

[Ozymandias]

looking forward to some strong and polished runways, it's been a few seasons

jaidynn diore fierce strikes me as an initial stand out based on 2 seconds of footage

 

[Ozymandias]

in the trailer who is the woman saying a somewhat posh accent saying 'yes gawd'?

 

[dUb]

Your avatar

I was wondering this too - Tamar Braxton perhaps?!

Yeah, pretty sure

 

[dUb]

I love Miss Fame's hair pat right after that moment

There are SO MANY MOMENTS in the trailer though. Can we have a Trailer Moment Rate pls

 

[VoR]

It is Tamar Braxton
