Riot Poof 2,236 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ru is NOT playing around this season! I really hope she brings in a new queen (if she's allowing anyone else to enter the competition). That would be something that has never been done before on this show (IIRC). I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think some queen was sitting by their phone waiting for a call from Rupaul and just happened to answer immediately? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The queens have said the entire runway part of the episode takes HOURS to film. They could very well have cut for like 30 min and Ru or a producer thought of the phone idea. Maybe Ru was planning to bring someone back sometime this season, and when Dax and Laila were horrible this was the perfect time. It seems more far fetched to me that people think he planned to send them both home, like how the hell would he know if they were gonna turn out the lip sync or not?

It's just a gag to make it dramatic haha You being a video editor should know more than anyone else that this show utilizes editing to make queens look bad, make simple statements look shady, and make the winner of lip syncs in a positive light. The fact that they showed Rupaul whispering to Michelle about how they were excited for this lip sync because it was an iconic song has never happened in 8 seasons. There was no queen commentary/compliments during the lip sync either, further building the setup. It's not a bad thing really, it makes for GOOD tv. It was dramatic and got people talking. The producers probably planned from the beginning a return of a certain queen, and they took this opportunity of two weaker queens being on the block. They can't just call a queen on that very night, it takes a lot of time to get together all of their outfits. In an interview with Laila she said they are told before hand exactly the things that they need to bring to fit the challenges. Someone that was called out of the blue would not be prepared at all, and it's just not realistic. It's reality tv, let's be real here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One being the double emimination and the other being the return of someone else. I agree that the return of someone else had to be planned, for the reasons you said. But that doesn't mean it had to be planned for THIS episode - again, when he saw the horrible lip sync he could have decided now was the best time to do it. Either way, I also don't think any of that means the double emination was also planned, necessarily. Being a filmmaker I know that there are always tons of footage left on the cutting room floor. For all we know, Ru has chatted about the lip sync song with the judges plenty of times, but it's never edited into the episode because there was no point. This time they kept it in to drive home the importance of the song. OR Ru actually said those things about the song AFRER the lip sync and it was edited to look like before, in order to make the viewers at home understand why the lip sync was so disappointing to him. It could really be so many things. And yeah I'm aware they do edit people to look more shady sometimes like with Courtney and Darrienne. But also, sometimes people are just shady. I think the RPDR fans are getting a little carried away with all the "editing" claims Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was planned for a queen to return (which I including hundreds of people on reddit very much believe) then that interferes with the count of queens, automatically calling for a double elimination, or a different number of final queens in the finale.

So maybe they were both planned, but I still don't believe he planned for this specific pair to go home. Again, what if one of them did really well? Maybe the next week he would put two people in the bottom who he thinks are lackluster lip syncers, and then hope he could justify a double elimination that time. And he would keep doing it until both people sucked All I'm saying is I find it hard to believe he could determine Dax and Laila's fate before knowing if they were gonna slay that song or not. Seems crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
