Erika Jayne and RuPaul both went to Northside School of Performing Arts in Atlanta. They are both Atlanta people. When RuPaul first started working in Atlanta, he was not well received. I can’t remember what the tea was but he had a bad reputation for some reason. I think we’ve all forgotten about that now. Trixie Mattel is the bartender. She also just won Drag Race All Stars. That was a travesty. Andy showed an old photo of Erika with Kyle before her nose job, because shady.
Eighty-three person of those polled are on Teddi’s side of the fight. Erika’s discussion about her past life as a Spanish boy and the bizarre way she thinks that her 23 and Me DNA test somehow verifies this make my brain hurt.
Andy announces he will be on Season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Andy is why we can’t have nice things.
Rinna and Kyle both tweet nice things about Erika and RuPaul. A caller asked Ru why he fucked up this season of All Stars by letting the girls pick the final two. Everyone is pissed that Shangela was not in final two. Ru says they are crazy and like to change things up and the Shangela situation is on “those girls.”
Erika is asked whose side she is on with regard to the Dorit and Camille conflict. She says she is on her side then seems to lean slightly to Camille’s side. She says Dorit should have not said what she said in front of Camille’s boyfriend.
A caller asks Erika if she sees a pattern of her not liking the new girl each season. She has no, the new girls have a pattern of not liking her. Lil Kim tweets that everyone looks amazing and Erika says she is a huge fan.
Erika had a book signing yesterday and Kim D. from Jersey was the first in line. Erika didn’t know who she was.
RuPaul is weird tonight. Not his usual weird. More like is he on something or perhaps just drunk weird.
This show did not deliver.
When Ru said the Drag Race situation was on “those girls” I was so upset. That is Ru’s show and he has final say in EVERYTHING. my best friend and I were just talking yesterday about how badly drag race has taken a turn since it’s move to VH1, and it’s need to appease the straight viewing audience. Much like Andy Cohen loves to do with his Bravo watchers. I will still watch Housewives and Drag Race, but WE SEE YOU RUPAUL. WE SEE YOU ANDY COHEN.
Erika looks unhappy in these photos.
Probably from all of those “zero fucks” she’s been giving! 🙂
YES!
Yes, she looks really pissed off and as though she’s just going through the motions. Was the person on the left supposed to look like a parody of Erika Jayne, or is just his “natural” look? Didn’t see the show, but it sounds like I didn’t miss much. Ru Paul gets on my nerves – nothing to do with sexuality or anything like that – he’s just so over the top, it makes me tired listening to him. I used to like Ru Paul’s Drag Race, but it changed so much – can’t put my finger on it, but it seems forced.
I saw a bunch of other photos of WWHL and she looked a lot happier in photos without the drag queen. I don’t know, there’s something about Erika that I still like – she reminds me of a wounded animal, which brings out my maternal side. Crazy, I know! I like her honesty, even if it doesn’t always come over well, but don’t know why she doesn’t get along with Teddi. I would have thought they’d like each other, since Teddi is also no B/S. I can’t imagine her ever getting along with Dorit – talk about nothing but delusion and lies. Still, overall, Erika seems off her game. There may be things going on that we don’t know.
Damn! I forgot the book signing, my parents live in Ridgewood, NJ and I was just there yesterday although there’s a pesky rule that you have the book there. Go figure. I haven’t been digging Erika lately but I’d love to see her up close; to see her amazing skin and what she wore. I”m too lazy to drive the 12 miles to NYC.
I don’t care for the book cover. I’m curious what other people think. (hope that’s not too off topic)
I thought she could have done better with the cover as well.
Thank you for the info. WWHL is never on my radar, due to AC.
This is just my opinion and I have nothing to back this up. But throughout AS3, I thought RuPaul was stoned. The vibe was “let’s just get through this”. He seemed bored.
I am watching past seasons. RuPaul’s level of interest and compassion toward the contestants was much higher.
I want to know why Shangela was so dismissed by everyone. My conservative engineer husband really liked the human Shangie is. I smell hidden tea.
As for Erika Jayne, I don’t know anything except what I read on TT. I suppose all my f*cks have been doled out to others.
I’ve been watching the refund of drag race all week leading up to the new season and it is totally different. Loved the real human interaction with the girls in the early seasons and now its just scripted conflict. Shangela was robbed
RuPaul seems to mentor & support the new Ru girls more than the All Stars. It’s part of the reason the regular seasons are better. But things are definitely more scripted, even on regular Drag Race. I’m 1/2 hopeful, 1/2 nervous about season 10 (which debuts tomorrow, FYI). And they’re running Untucked on VH1 right after.
I thought RuPaul was off, too, but maybe he’s just tired because he’s been on the defensive for a few weeks now, and there’s a lot of chatter about the downside of the way he’s put drag into the mainstream. I did, however, appreciate that he plugged Trixie’s projects. The Shangela debacle shouldn’t ruin this opportunity for her, in my opinion.
Is it just me or does Erica look very thin? I like her more curvy.
I noticed it also. Kyle looks thinner this season as well.
I wish that awful stylist of hers would tell her track pants and T-shirt’s aren’t fashion, I don’t care whose name is on them. She looks slapdash and yet overdone and that’s quite a feat.
I agree. There are times I like what she wears but most of the time I think her clothes are ugly AF, especially the ones with designer names on them. So so ugly
I thought I was the only one who hates her hair, clothes, and makeup the last year or two. It’s that damn glam squad, they make this naturally pretty woman look cartoonish and grotesque, and the clothes are awful.
She looks every day of her age in these photos-kind of tired and haggard.
Forgot to add, loved the caller who said the line between Erika Jane and Erika Girardi is blurring. I agree, she’s gone all costumey and caked on makeup and OTT hair even when she’s supposedly just Erika. The Japan trip…omg.
I agree with that comment as well…. the line of her and her persona has completely blurred
How can a person spend over 40 thousand a month to look like Erika?
She’s got to be exhausted. All these appearances-just making the effort with Dorit this past season would exhaust me and perhaps that’s the reason she doesn’t want to deal with Teddi. She sure is living up to the title of “brat”!!
My impression is Erika is a very unhappy lady, under a great deal of self-imposed pressure and not fitting in anywhere. If you think about Tom’s peers and their wives, she simply does not fit in there at all, does not help him with his work(not that he needs it but it sounds like she is rarely supporting his events, as he does not hers), and among his peers, she is the younger, pretty but struggling to find herself wife. She is not content in living in the world he created, and wants to create her own.
Frankly, Mikey’s presence in her team was a red fag to me- he has been involved in second- third class Las Vegas productions but seems to have been edged out over the years. now he is her team captain? Underwhelming at best. It feels like she was interested in the flash she got when joining RHBH, but where does it go from here? She s a fish out of every ocean she tries to inhabit, and her clothes have been symptomatic to me of her this year -ill suited, unattractive, overdone. She is a very pretty woman but should be settling into a style now- comfortably. She could wear anything, and has failed to wear any of Gucci’s beautiful private-label clothes tis season , much as she loves the label.
Instead, she wears the ugly, ill fitting pieces. I’m sorry, because to me , it shows how unsettled and unhappy she is. And her close-to-flash, anger and bitter snottiness reflect the same clearly.
Not having gotten over Bendela leaving yet I was pretty pissed they picked the final two they picked. Not a fan of the weird makeup thing Trixie does. Shangela was the clear star of the final four. I wish I knew what happened for the other contestants to not choose her for the final four.
I am planning on putting it all behind me and moving on to a better season 10. But I’ll probably always be annoyed with this season.
The one in the middle is certainly Ru. But the other two who’s who?
What’s up with this EJG? Does she really think she’s so special? Her book is bombing, thank God. I sort of liked her first season, but at this point, she’s like a red ant. She’s got some serious issues with anger. If this is how she shows herself on a public platform, imagine what she’s like behind closed doors. Enough said about that, but I hope she leaves BH. She’s an egotistical, no talent, child abandoning, no talent hack. And PS… NOBODY wants to see your cleavage anymore.
