Don't get me wrong I love Nina. However I think that if you are looking at an wide appeal for drag queens the winner should be BeBe. I love both of them.
Nina, who again is awesome, may come across as too harsh a queen, where as Bebe is more "conventional." I will be more than happy if either one wins.
Rebecca is not enough....Her make up drives me a little nuts. I find she powders her eyes way too light for my taste. Rebecca seems to be trying to be a women
not a fablulous drag queen!

I don't think Rebecca or Bebe stand a chance against Nina. Nina, has not been shown to be bitchy or 'unladylike' in any way. She has the
friendly/happy diva edit. I think given the sponsors and this is the first season, they want someone who everyone finds likable. Bebe and Rebecca have both
been shown to have their nasty diva moments.
I actually think Chantal was the truest big drag star with her costumes and make up and attitude. But could anyone see her as a spokesqueen for MAC? And also agree with whoever commented that Rebecca is more tranny than drag in alot of ways. I was schooled in the levels of male to female levels some years ago by a very beautiful 'tranny'. Crossdressers-straight men who like wearing women's clothes Female impersonator-Man who dresses specifically to look like someone famous (Cher,Marilyn, Liza etc...) Drag queens-Men dressing as women with over the top make up and costume, usually done for performance (hostess,dance, lipsync or singing) Tranny-(formerly transvestite)-A man who dresses/acts to pass as a woman, usually done for special occasions. Can be 100% undetectable to the straight male eye (much to their surprise!) Transexual-(pre-op)living their lives, and expressing themselves as the opposite sex. Some with added hormonal or surgeries to change their appearance. Transgendered-post-op changing of sexual organ I do believe that their has always been the component of female impersonation and transvestitism in drag, and it is accepted as part of drag now. Rebecca seems to me to be more of a tranny who performs. Although one could argue so is RuPaul, but when RuPaul gained notariety, there were no 6ft+ blonde haired, black women, and because she was more caricature than true female. |

I still think Nina is going to win it, but does anyone really believe she's going to go on to become a drag superstar like RuPaul has, or is it was??? All this talk about who is better suited for that role is moot I predict. Unless the winner records a hit song like RuPaul did with "Supermodel" (I never heard of RuPaul until that song) I doubt she'll make much of a splash at all. What are the prizes anyway? I forgot. |

I said that earlier...I'm not sure what the "next drag superstar" means. But it ain't Rebecca, no matter what that means.
I think Ru is one of a kind, and somehow she snuck in and managed to become a celebrity. Every now and again a drag star/female impersonator makes a big splash in pop culture...Divine, Eddie Izzard, Dame Edna, RuPaul, but it's very rare. So no, I don't think any of us think the winner will go on to any great drag superstar status. Just like we don't think any winner of ANTM is going to be a Supermodel, or the winner of PR is going to be the next great designer. It's a tv show that entertains us, and that's pretty much where it ends. Idol is about the only reality show that seems to produce some bonafide stars along the way. |

I still say, as was posted before I mentioned it, that Nina's character is just too harsh and scary for the average Amurrican. Bebe is less threatening
not as a person, but as the personality she portrays. If it is between the two of them, expect Bebe to win. I would much prefer Nina, but I think they are
looking for someone to mainstream and Nina, love her as I do, seems to live off of a bit of edge.

I dunno...I don't think Joe the Plumber is going to be able to distinguish between Bebe and Nina. However, Rebecca...."You sure got a pretty mouth there, boy." |

I loved in the clips special Rupaul tells us the audience something like "And you out there, don't fuck it up". |

YAY! I am sure gonna miss this show. I never expected anything but a trainwreck, but it really has turned out to be quite a great and impressive reality show.
Very entertaining and well done. I'm thrilled it's going to be back for another season.
