RuPaul's Drag Race (season 3)
|RuPaul's Drag Race
|Season 3
|Broadcast from
|January 24– May 2, 2011
Michelle Visage
Santino Rice
Billy B[1]
|Los Angeles, CA
|Manila Luzon
The third season of RuPaul's Drag Race began airing on January 24, 2011.[2] Thirteen drag queens competed for the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar", a headlining spot on the Absolut Tour, a lifetime supply of Kryolan makeup, and a cash prize of $75,000, won by Raja on the fifteenth episode.
This season had Michelle Visage replacing Merle Ginsberg at the judge's table and Billy Brasfield[3] (better known as Billy B), Mike Ruiz, and Jeffrey Moran (courtesy of Absolut Vodka) filling in for Santino Rice's absence during several episodes. Billy B, celebrity makeup artist and star of the HGTV mini-series Hometown Renovation, appeared as a judge in five episodes. Whereas Mike Ruiz only judged for two episodes, and Jeffrey Moran for one, Moran only appearing for promotional reasons. Due to Billy B's continued appearances, he and Rice are now considered to have been alternate judges for the same seat at the judges table, both appearing side-by-side in the reunion special to announce Yara Sofia as the season's Miss Congeniality.[1]
Other changes made included the introduction of a wildcard contestant from the past season, Shangela Laquifa Wadley; an episode with no elimination; and a contestant, Carmen Carrera, being brought back into the competition after having been eliminated a few episodes prior. A new pit crew was also introduced consisting of Jason Carter and Shawn Morales. The theme song playing during the runway every episode was changed to "Champion" while the song playing during the credits is "Main Event", both from RuPaul's album Champion. As with the previous season, each week's episode was followed by a behind-the-scenes show, RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked.
On December 6, 2011 Amazon.com released this season on DVD via their CreateSpace program.[4]

Guest judges[edit]
(In alphabetic order by stage name and/or last name)
Episode One: Casting Extravaganza[edit]
The first episode shows behind the scenes of the casting process for the 2011 edition of "RuPaul's Drag Race." Featured are entrants that were not cast in the series. All the contestants are profiled. Manila's audition tape includes an endorsement from her boyfriend, season 2's Sahara Davenport. Raja reveals she has done make up for some pretty big names in Hollywood and her audition tape includes an endorsement from Adam Lambert. India Ferrah shows us through video and old photos his early drag career which started at 14. Mimi and Stacy were premiered as the Big Girls of the Season. Phoenix talks about her start in drag. Venus D-lite and Delta Work are profiled, and it is revealed that they were chosen as a result of auditioning in front of RuPaul and Santino Rice at an open casting call in Hollywood, California. This special also features several queens who appear on future seasons: Madame LaQueer and Chad Michaels, who would go on to appear on Season 4, Alaska, Detox, and Penny Tration who would go on to appear on Season 5, Joslyn Fox who would appear on Season 6, Katya Zamolodchikova, Sasha Belle, Mrs. Kasha Davis and Jasmine Masters who appeared on Season 7, and Season 8 newcomers Thorgy Thor and Dax Exclamationpoint.
Episode Two: The Queen Who Mopped Xmas[edit]
Season 3 begins with the introductions of 12 new queens vying to be "the next drag superstar". After the surprise revelation that the first eliminated second-season competitor Shangela has returned to be the thirteenth competitor in season three, the dolls receive their first challenge: a Christmas-card photo shoot on a trampoline (with Mike Ruiz taking the pictures). Then it's off to a thrift store to stock up for their holiday-themed runway outfits. Ruiz, Vanessa Williams and Bruce Vilanch are the guest judges, joining regular judges Santino Rice and Michelle Visage (making her debut). India, Alexis, Phoenix, Mariah, Yara, Delta, and Stacy are declared safe. Mimi is criticized for her outfit's execution, but praised for the concept and is declared safe. Manila receives great praise for her outfit and is declared safe. Carmen is criticized for her photo and polarizing outfit but receives praise for her body especially by Vanessa Williams and is also safe. Raja is declared the winner of the week. Venus and Shangela land in the bottom for their forgetful outfits and poor execution (this marks the second time Shangela has landed in the bottom two on week one). During the lipsync, Venus becomes unnecessarily rough. She throws her wig at the girls in the back and pushes Shangela numerous times. Shangela also removes her hairpiece and during the battle they are close to being half naked. RuPaul scolds the girls for the awkward performance before announcing that Shangela is safe and sending Venus home.

Episode Three: Queens in Space[edit]
After the contestants learn that the theme for the week is sci-fi, RuPaul arrives in the workroom to issue the mini-challenge. The girls are asked to pair up with the person they feel they have the strongest psychic connection to (Raja & Delta, Mariah & Phoenix, Carmen & Manila, Alexis & Stacy, Shangela & India and Mimi & Yara) and are then separated by a screen. One team member must "use ESP" to guess the other person's fashion accessories; what color boa, what kind of jewelry, what color cat, etc. The winning pair is Mariah and Phoenix, with their reward being competing team captains for the main challenge.
For the main challenge this week, the girls split into two teams to shoot a trailer for the Drag Queens in Outer Space movie saga; the original film, From Earth to Uranus (Team Phoenix) and the sequel Return to Uranus (Team Mariah). Each team had to shoot a different scene, but with the same characters. The characters assigned were as follows:
|Team Phoenix
|Team Mariah
|Lady TaTa
|Carmen & India
|Alexis & Shangela
Guest judges include Lily Tomlin and Caprica alumna Alessandra Torresani. Mariah's team won, with Alexis and Shangela sharing the title of the challenge winner and Mimi also receiving praise. As a result of two winners that week, no immunity was given. On the losing team, Manila and Raja both receive positive critiques and are declared safe, along with India. Carmen is criticised for the poor execution of her outfit, but is also safe, leaving Phoenix and Delta in the bottom two; Phoenix for her weak performance in the trailer, and Delta for her runway outfit, which the judges felt held little to no resemblance of anything futuristic or space-like. During the lipsync to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" Delta's personality radiated through while Phoenix fell back on trying to impersonate Gaga. Delta was declared safe and Phoenix sashayed away.

Episode Four: Totally Leotarded[edit]
For their mini-challenge, the queens were asked to create a fashion style using duct tape. In groups of two (and one group of three) the contestants had to glamorize their black leotards using duct tape of various colors. The teams assembled were Carmen & Manila; Yara & Raja; Alexis & Mariah; Delta, Mimi & Stacy; and Shangela & India. Carmen and Manila form the best look, complete with duct tape iPods, and win the challenge. The reward given was competing as team captains for the main challenge.
The girls are informed that the main challenge will be two inspirational work-out videos. Carmen and Manila are team captains (due to winning the duct tape leotard challenge). Carmen chooses Delta, India, Yara, and Mariah, while Manila chooses Raja, Stacy, Mimi, Shangela, and Alexis. Guest judges include fitness guru Susan Powter, celebrity make-up artist Billy B (filling in for an absent Santino Rice), and singer La Toya Jackson. After the runway presentation, Delta, Raja, Manila, Carmen, and Shangela are declared safe. Alexis wins the challenge and is given immunity for this win, with Stacy and Yara also receiving positive feedback. Mariah is criticised for relying too much on beauty, but is declared safe. India and Mimi land at the bottom; India for her boring work-out segment and over-done look on the runway, and Mimi for putting in too much slapstick comedy, causing it to come off sloppy. During the lipsync, Mimi picks up India from in front of the judges table and carries her up to the stage against her will. RuPaul scolds Mimi, stating "Drag is not a contact sport!" before eliminating her and declaring India safe.

Episode Five: QNN News[edit]
For the mini-challenges, the girls were given the task of creating a scandalous red carpet photo. Being a news-related episode, the winning photos were shown on WOW Report (Carmen's revealing crotch shot) and NewNowNext (Stacy's wardrobe malfunction). The winners became the team leaders as news anchors for "The Morning After News" on fictionalized QNN. To mentor the girls, anchor Debbie Matenopoulos provided tips on personality and delivery. Kristin Cavallari was on hand to be interviewed by the girls as well. Guest judges include Chloë Sevigny, Debbie Matenopoulos and celebrity make-up artist Billy B. (filling in for regular judge Santino Rice, who was notably absent for a second consecutive week.)

Note: Although they worked as team, each member was judged individually.
Carmen, Alexis, Yara, Raja, and Delta were declared safe. Although the judges loved Manila's gown, they were afraid her stereotypical Asian reporter came across as offensive. Matenopoulos congratulated Shangela, stating she could easily get a job as an entertainment reporter. India's performance was deemed bland and painful to watch. Stacy, once again, was scolded for holding back. RuPaul commented that Mariah was not fully delivering on challenges and was "resting in pretty". Manila won the challenge, leaving India and Stacy to lip sync for their lives. Stacy's lip sync was seen as on point and she remained in the competition, while India sashayed away.

Episode Six: The Snatch Game[edit]
For this week's mini challenge, the girls were asked to play "S**t RuPaul Says" to win the opportunity to call a family member. Delta won the challenge but gave the prize to Shangela who wanted to speak to her grandmother. The group was then asked to impersonate celebrities on "Snatch Game". Initially, Stacy Layne Matthews intended to impersonate Anna Nicole Smith but after receiving criticism from RuPaul, she chose to do Mo'Nique instead. The panel was judged by model Amber Rose and comedian Aisha Tyler.

For the runway portion, the girls were asked to wear their favorite drag look. Raja, Alexis and Stacy made the Top 3 while Delta, Mariah and Yara finished in the bottom. This caused much controversy backstage because most of the queens disagreed with the judges' decisions. Backstage, tension heated up between Shangela and Raja. Shangela criticized Raja's impression of Tyra Banks, and Shangela complained that she and Raja used to be friends until the competition. Raja complained that in the past, Shangela had returned borrowed items damaged and had used her, and many of the others agreed that Shangela continues to get other queens to help her in the competition because her own skills are poor. Mariah became defensive during the critique, stating Carrera's version of Lopez was a bitchy version of herself and Luzon's Imelda Marcos was an "offensive Filipino". Stacy won the challenge, impressing the judges and restoring their faith in her. Delta and Mariah "lip-synched for their lives" to remain in the competition. Mariah missed many of the lyrics causing her to sashay away, leaving Delta to remain in the competition.
Off the set, the elimination created controversy in the media. For her farewell message, Mariah was shown writing "Condragulations Raja", causing gossip sites to believe Raja was the winner of the competition. During the related Untucked episode, it was shown the message further stated "Mug4Dayz". The message was related to her comments towards Raja, referring to her as a "washed-up runway model" and implying more personal criticism. In the following episode, the latter part of the message was displayed on the mirror.

Episode Seven: Face, Face, Face of Cakes[edit]
At the beginning of the episode, the contestants are asked to do a tasteful nude photo shoot with photographer Deborah Anderson. Carmen won the challenge and was given the task to assign each contestant a cake. The main challenge called for a couture fashion ensemble modeled after the assigned cake. Furthermore, each cake had to be decorated to reflect the contestant's personality.

For the runway portion of the show, actresses Sara Rue, Eliza Dushku and make-up artist Billy B (filling in for absent Santino Rice) are the guest judges this week. During the critiques Raja, Manila and Delta received high marks from the judges, who also liked Yara's look, cake and make-up, while Stacy, Shangela and Alexis were admonished; Stacy for not looking couture, Shangela for her poor make-up skills, and Alexis for her awful design. Ru asked most of the queens who they thought should go home. Shangela replied Carmen, while Carmen and Delta both thought Stacy should leave. Stacy thought Carmen's look was not couture and she should be the one to go, while Raja wanted both Shangela and Stacy to go. After the judges' deliberation, Yara and Delta are safe, while Stacy is up for elimination. Manila is safe, and Raja is declared the winner this week. Shangela is also safe, along with Carmen, landing Alexis in the bottom 2 with Stacy. They perform to Amii Stewart's "Knock on Wood", Stacy being somewhat low-key while Alexis delivers high energy. RuPaul decides to keep Alexis Mateo, while Stacy sashayed away.
Off stage, a clique begins to form with Raja, Delta, Carmen and Manila referring to themselves as Heathers, while Alexis, Yara, Stacy and Shangela were called "boogers".

Episode Eight: Ru Ha Ha[edit]
In this week's mini-challenge, the cast were asked to "read" each other (popularized by the film Paris is Burning). Shangela wins the challenge, with her prize being to choose the order of the contestants for the main challenge. RuPaul announces that for the main challenge, the queens have to develop a stand-up comedy routine to perform in front of a live audience. In order to help them put an act together, they each get a one-on-one workshop with legendary comedian Rita Rudner. Shangela later gives the girls the line-up for the show; starting with Raja, followed by Carmen, Alexis, Shangela, Manila, Yara and Delta. During the session with Rita, most of the contestants receive valuable advice from Rita on how to improve their stand-up routine, with the exception of Carmen, who had a hard time finding a basis for her routine and didn't receive any tips.
On the main stage, the contestants debut their comedy routines for the judges and the audience. Raja's set was based upon and inspired by the film Carrie. Carmen wore a fat suit and talked about secretly wanting to be a big girl, while Alexis came out as an energetic stripper version of herself, donning extremely large fake breasts. Shangela followed with her "post modern pimp-ho" character, and Manila's act focused mainly on a running gag of Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood allusions to homosexuality. Yara's character was a sassy midget from Spain, while Delta's routine portrayed herself as a self-deprecating fat girl.
The judges unanimously loved Raja, Yara, Shangela and Carmen's routines. Alexis was called out for rushing through the routine and relying too much on her visual gag. Manila's look was lauded, but her act was called unoriginal, while Delta was criticized for being too nervous. After deliberating, Raja and Alexis are declared safe, while Manila is up for elimination. Shangela is deemed the best and wins the challenge. Yara and Carmen are also safe, which places Delta in the bottom two against Manila. Both queens were asked to lip sync to Donna Summer's disco hit "MacArthur Park". Manila won the lipsync and Delta left the competition.
Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly called the lip-synch battle the "most cohesive lipsynch-for-your-life session [ever] in Drag Race history"[5]
- Guest Judges: Billy B., Rita Rudner and Arden Myrin
- Mini-Challenge: Reading is Fundamental
- Mini-Challenge Winner: Shangela
- Main Challenge: Perform a stand-up routine in front of a live audience
- Challenge Winner: Shangela
- Bottom Two: Delta Work & Manila Luzon
- Lip Synch Song: "MacArthur Park" by Donna Summer
- Eliminated: Delta Work
- Farewell Message: "WORK HEATHERS xoxo Delta"
Episode Nine: Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Style[edit]
In the mini-challenge the contestants are asked to bedazzle black bras into something spectacular, and Manila wins. The contestants are then told they will be making 30-second promos themed around their love of America that will be shown to U.S. military members serving overseas. Each contestant will get ten minutes to film, with Manila getting an extra five minutes for winning the mini-challenge.
RuPaul tells the contestants to make it personal, but entertaining. Each contestant comes up with their own strategy. Carmen wants to speak seriously but entertain with her visual performance, Raja is unsure but wants to be humorous, Manila chooses to focus on the diversity of food in the U.S., and Shangela plans to be as funny as possible. Yara's father is part of the Army Reserves, but she does not want to focus on that in her performance, and Alexis is initially reluctant to discuss her former boyfriend because they broke up when he was sent overseas. RuPaul encourages her to use that experience, which she does to great effect in her video. During their preparations, Yara was also chagrined that after helping Shangela in previous challenges, Shangela was unwilling to help Yara when she asked during this challenge.
In their runway presentation, the contestants are told to dress in their most patriotic drag. Alexis wins the competition for her enthusiastic performance, and the judges note that her dress is fashioned from the U.S. Marine Corps dress uniform jacket her boyfriend left behind for her. Manila's money-themed dress was a hit on the runway, but her video failed to meet the judges' expectations. However, she is deemed safe. The judges felt Raja's video performance was lackluster, but pronounced her safe as well. The judges praised Shangela's video performance as energetic and entertaining, but noted her runway dress was poorly tailored and did not reflect a very patriotic feel. She was also deemed safe.
The judges criticized Carmen for her wooden and dull video performance. Although they loved her look on the runway, her facial expression and body language made them feel like she was bored so she was up for elimination. Yara's performance was high energy, but the judges questioned whether her "crazy Latina" persona would carry her through to the title, and she was also put up for elimination. Both contestants had to lip sync for their lives, but, after telling Carmen to stay, RuPaul also told Yara she could stay as well, becoming the first non-elimination challenge in the series.

Episode Ten: RuPaul-a-Palooza[edit]
This week's mini-challenge is a game of "Ru-sical chairs". It is exactly like musical chairs except when the music stops, the chair-less queen must sing the next line in the song (All the songs being from RuPaul's album Champion). If she gets it, she gets to eliminate one of her competitors; if she doesn't, she's out. When it comes down to 2 queens (Manila and Raja) and one chair, Manila is the last queen standing.
Ru announces that the main challenge this week has the queens performing a song for "RuPaul-a-Palooza", and brings out Absolut Vodka spokesman Jeffrey Moran. Each queen is going to record their own version of Ru's new song, "Superstar", in one of six distinct musical styles, and since Manila won the mini-challenge, she gets to pick first and determine the order of the rest of the selections. The queens choose as follows:
|Music Genre
|Alexis Mateo
|Hip Hop
|Carmen Carrera
|Manila Luzon
|Punk rock
|Yara Sofia
The queens arrive at the recording studio where they meet Ru's music producer Lucian Piane. All of the girls deal with some difficulty while recording, from Shangela's overconfidence to Yara's inability to "sound" good. The following day the queens find mp3 players with their recorded songs, and all are pleased with the final products except Carmen, who thinks she sounds horrible. After lip syncing to their songs on the main stage, it is time for the judges' critiques. Only Raja received unanimous praise from the judges, while the other queens each got their share of criticisms. After some deliberation, Yara is safe and Raja is declared the winner of the challenge. Carmen's performance lands her in the bottom two again, while Manila and Alexis are declared safe. This leaves Shangela to lip synch against Carmen to Cher's "Believe". Shangela out battled Carmen and was chosen to stay, while Carmen was sent home, leaving Michelle Visage in tears.
In the next episode, the queens say that Carmen wrote messages to each of them. One message visible to viewers is "Shangela, shablam across the board." Also visible is the message "Heathers better win."
Note: Santino Rice is noticeably absent in this episode as well.

Episode Eleven: RuPaul's Hair Extravaganza[edit]
For this week's mini challenge, the remaining contestants were asked to create a fashion-forward, beach themed headpiece, with Raja being declared the winner. After this, RuPaul reveals the main challenge: Participate in a hair-themed fashion show with three distinct looks:
1) A classic look from another era 2) A modern red carpet look 3) A fantasy hair outfit, which must be made entirely out of wigs.
During the episode, all of the contestants agreed that this was the hardest challenge so far. In the workroom, the contestants complained that Yara's rowdy behavior was distracting, but they all agreed that she would do well in the challenge because hair is her specialty as a drag performer. On the runway, Raja, Yara, and Manila receive mostly positive critiques (although Santino disliked Manila's red carpet look), while Alexis and Shangela's outfits are considered subpar. Michelle said that Alexis's 1940's inspired look had no resemblance to the actual '40's, and her red carpet look seemed like she "was wearing the red carpet." However, her hair outfit receives mostly positive reviews. Shangela's flamenco-inspired look was deemed ill-fitting by Fantasia, and Michelle pointed out that the look was more a look from another region than another era. Meanwhile, her modern red-carpet look was deemed neither modern or worthy of a red carpet.
Yara wins the challenge for her three daring and inspired looks, while Raja and Manila are declared safe, leaving Alexis and Shangela in the bottom two. During the lip sync, Shangela attempts to recreate the energy of her past lip syncs, but she is outshone by Alexis, who's soulful rendition of the song is described by Manila as "timeless and beautiful." Shangela sashays away, and the remaining queens believe that they have made it to the top four, but RuPaul reveals that one of the queens eliminated during this season will be brought back in the next episode.

Episode Twelve: Jocks in Frocks[edit]
As the episode begins, RuPaul reveals that Carmen Carrera is returning to the competition after being unanimously voted back by the other judges. The queens move on to the mini-challenge in which they play RuPaul's version of the dunk tank, the Badonkadonk Dunking Machine. Alexis Mateo wins the challenge after managing to dunk Yara Sofia fourteen times.
RuPaul next announces the main challenge: The queens must make over five masculine, heterosexual jocks as their drag sisters. Alexis Mateo gets to choose which queen gets which jock for winning the mini-challenge. As a twist, RuPaul reveals the queens must also dress their jocks as cheerleaders and perform cheers about safe sex. The jocks soon discover the challenges of drag as the queens teach them to walk, paint, and tuck their way to the top. Carmen decides to show off her jock's body as an expression of her own drag persona, Raja tries to bring out the fierceness in her quiet jock by using a classic movie look, Alexis is hit on by her jock as she transforms him in her own image, Yara works on getting her jock to match her spicy, sexy runway style and Manila is frustrated by her jock's antics but is helped by his eagerness to learn.
The queens and their new drag sisters first perform their safe-sex cheers for the judges (including guest judges Margaret Cho, Sharon Osbourne and Mike Ruiz (filling in for absent Santino Rice)) and conclude with their runway performances. Alexis Mateo and her drag sister are critiqued for their cheer being too busy but are praised for their mirror-image appearance. Manila is declared the winner of the challenge after she and her sister Fuchsia Luzon dazzle the judges with their Chinese doll look and hilarious cheer routine. Raja is critiqued for her drag sister Enigma's poor runway walk and for losing the judges during their cheer. Yara Sofia and her sister are praised for their runway look despite not having as dynamic performance as the other queens. The judges fawn over Carmen's personal look but critique her choice in wardrobe for her drag sister's muscular build. Alexis and Yara are declared safe while Raja and Carmen must lip-sync Paula Abdul's "Straight Up." After a particularly sexy performance (with the heterosexual jocks cheering them on backstage, as seen in Untucked) Raja is asked to stay and Carmen is once again sent home.

Episode Thirteen: Make Dat Money[edit]
The final four begin this episode with a mini-challenge of creating a marketable drag product from their own wardrobe and then deliver a sales pitch on RuVC. (A parody of the real life QVC.) Raja chooses her gaff (also known as a Cache-sexe), Manila her MANila hairspray, Yara Sofia selects her "Pop-It-On" hairpiece and Alexis Mateo picks her hip and butt pads. Yara wins the mini-challenge, as Ru announces the main challenge — to create three looks for three distinct categories: Swimsuit Body Beautiful, Cocktail Attire After 5 and Evening Gown Eleganza, which must be made out of 1 million Ru Dollars. The girls must also perform a choreographed lip-sync to "Just Wanna Dance" by guest judge La Toya Jackson. During the prep, Alexis begins to doubt why she is still in the competition and leaves the workroom briefly, but returns later.
The choreography rehearsal for the number is rough for Manila and Raja, who feel Yara's choreography is too difficult for them. On the main stage, the number goes off without a hitch in front of LaToya, Mike Ruiz (filling in for absent Santino Rice) and Gigi Levangie Grazer. During the judges critiques, each girl has a problem with at least one look. Yara's "Evening Gown Eleganza" look is critiqued for having a bit too much, and her cocktail dress presentation lacked punch. Alexis Mateo's swimwear and cocktail dress were noted for being too simple, but the judges loved her gown. Manila's three looks are critiqued positively (with her only detractor being from LaToya, who thought her hair was too big) and Raja's cocktail outfit was too plain for the panel.
Before dismissing the girls, Ru asks each of them why they deserve to be America's Next Drag Superstar. Yara levels with the judges and tells them she is broke and needs the money to move to America. Alexis makes her case for her imperfections but her desire to continue. Manila wants to carry her message of love to everyone if she wins. Raja makes the case for the LGBT youth and wanting to share her story, and leave her legacy. Manila is declared the winner of the challenge, Raja is safe. Alexis and Yara fall into the bottom two, having to lip-sync to Patti LaBelle's "I Think About You."
During the lip-sync, the pressures of the competition get to Yara (who in the "Untucked" felt unfairly negatively critiqued, as compared to Raja) who completely gives up, shredding her Eleganza look, and breaking down, crying on stage. Alexis is told to chante, crying at the thought of sending her drag sister home, while Yara sashays away, leaving LaToya, Michelle and Mike Ruiz in tears.

Episode Fourteen: RuPaul Rewind[edit]
A look back at the highlights, low-lights and previously unseen footage from the first 13 episodes. Chaz Bono made a cameo appearance during the episode's opening scene as a cameraman. Season two winner Tyra Sanchez as well as runner-up Raven and Jujubee returned to the provide their opinions on the season's highlights.
Episode Fifteen: Grand Finale[edit]
The final three return to the workroom where Michelle Visage greets them and delivers the final challenge — costarring in the music video for Ru's song "Champion." During rehearsals, each of the girls also has a 'lunch' of tic-tacs with RuPaul and reflects on what got them to the finale. Raja and Manila have some issues with the choreography, but both manage to pull it together for the shoot directed by Mathu Andersen. The music video shoot proves difficult as Raja continues to forget parts of her choreography, Manila has issues with intimacy with members of the pit crew and Alexis has no profile during a silhouetted portion due to her constant movement and overly large wig.
The final main stage presentation has the queens in their favorite looks. After walking the runway for Ru, Michelle and Santino Rice, and being critiqued on their performance in the "Champion" video, RuPaul asks each of the finalists to give positive and negative critiques of themselves and the other two finalists. Alexis compliments Raja for her runway walk, but feels she is hard to read. For Manila, Alexis says she wanted to punch her, before she got to know her. And for herself, Alexis wishes she could be less hard on herself, even though she is a fighter. Manila's critiques start with Alexis, saying she is a fantastic performer but her drag doesn't excite. Raja is fashion but too editorial, and Manila says she, herself, can be stubborn at times, although she feels is a versatile performer. Last up is Raja who feels that while Alexis is talented, she doesn't think outside the box. To her, Manila is entertaining, but she needs to grow. And for herself, Raja feels she can recognize she is beautiful. (No con is discussed during the episode).
After deliberating, Alexis is eliminated from the race, leaving Manila and Raja to lip-sync for the crown to RuPaul's "Champion." Ru makes her decision, declaring Raja the winner. Manila is out, and breaks down backstage, having been so close to the prize and having it snatched from her. However, she does make a playful joke about getting the crown if Raja dies of old age, which is in keeping with her and Raja's close friendship throughout the competition. Raja is crowned and walks the runway as America's Next Drag Superstar as Ru, Michelle and Santino cheer her on.

Episode Sixteen: Reunited![edit]
The queens of RuPaul's Drag Race reunite for the first time since the shooting of the series. In this reunion special, all thirteen contestants return to give their take on what happened during the show. Plus, the girls confront the judges and each other. RuPaul introduces Santino Rice and Billy B to reveal that Yara Sofia is the winner of the title of Miss Congeniality.[1] One issue brought up was the "Heathers" issue. The four "Heathers" stated they branded themselves this way in fun and did not take it seriously, while many of the other contestants felt that what they did ranged from "stupid" to downright hurtful and took offense to the whole issue. As part of this, Shangela confronted the "Heathers" while Stacy Lane Matthews remained hurt and offended and said that she felt like the "Heathers" (In particular Delta and Raja.) bullied her. As a peace offering for offending her, Raja gave her the "Heathers" necklace (which all the "Heathers" had on) from around her own neck and helped put it on Stacy. Another issue brought up was Mimi Imfurst's action of picking up and carrying India Ferrah during episode four's "Lipsync for Your Life." Mimi stated that as part of her drag show, she regularly picks up and carries an audience member during the performance and therefore felt that she did not do anything wrong. RuPaul again told Mimi that what she did was not in keeping with the spirit of the show, to which all the other queens agreed.

This was the perfect drink to have on a freezing winter evening. We had just been hit with freezing rain and people are being asked to keep off the roads. No problem with this yummy beverage. The chocolate and orange flavors melded really well. I topped it off with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Made for Feb. 2011 Aus/NZ Swap.
Yummmm! Delicious. Pretty cool! A few of the things I heard when I served this at our kids viewing of The Nativity movie. I have to make this again for our upcoming Christmas dinner. I didn't change a thing. I think next time I would use whole fat milk though. Made and Reviewed for Kid Friendly Tag - Thanks! :)

'Ender's Game' Offers a Glossy, Humorless View of the Future
Published: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 2:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 2:54 p.m.
In a future where families are encouraged not to overbreed, Ender Wiggin is "a third," the third child born to his family. "An extra."
2 stars out of 5
Sci-fi, One hour, 54 min.
RATING: PG-13 (for some violence, sci-fi action and thematic material).
STARS: Harrison Ford, Viola Davis, Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley.
PLOT: A shy but brilliant boy is trained to defeat aliens attacking Earth.
KIDS: Older ones OK.
DIRECTOR: Gavin Hood.
Skinny and pale, he is bullied at school. But he's been observed, singled out by the state. How he problem-solves during video games, how he copes with bullies -- his cunning, ruthlessness and measured compassion -- are assets.
"The world's smartest children are our best hope," military leaders tell each other. And Ender (Asa Butterfield) is such a "best hope," chosen for Battle School, selected to be a leader because Young Adult fiction desperately needs another "chosen one."
"Ender's Game," based on Orson Scott Card's novel, is a glossy, humorless march through a future where kids are our best warriors, able to multi-task combat duties and reason out strategies for battle success in an instant. Card's military meritocracy, on the screen, plays like "Starship Troopers" without a tongue-in-cheek touch to its fascism, "The Last Starfighter" without the wit.
But in the hands of South African director Gavin Hood, the story's moral quandary, about kids learning to kill stands front and center.
"Ender's Game" follows Ender into Battle School, where his ability to master the skills of combat command are on display.
"We need a Julius Caesar, a Napoleon," growls Col. Graff (Harrison Ford).
They're all still children, argues Major Anderson (Viola Davis).
"Ender's Game" is pretty stiff.
Shiny spaceships, vivid space battles (simulations for the trainees) and kids who don't quite fill out their jumpsuits and cool combat games are all fine.
With all the bullying and kids-turned-into-killers stuff, the film never feels less than heavy handed.

Publisher's Description
Mitsuo Fuchida was a Captain in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service who is perhaps best known for leading the first air wave attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Fuchida was responsible for the coordination of the entire aerial attack working under the overall fleet commander Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. After World War II ended, Fuchida became an evangelist, Christian preacher and frequently traveled to the United States to minister to the Japanese expatriate community. He became a United States citizen in 1966. His autobiography was originally released in 1953, and this edition will be published to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 2011.

VVS Laxman retires from international cricket

V V S Laxman, who won many a match for India with his wristy elegance including an epic 281 against Australia in Kolkata, today announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect, bringing down the curtains on a glorious career spanning 16 years.
'Very Very Special' Laxman: India's 'Man Friday'
The 37-year-old Laxman, one of the finest batsmen in contemporary cricket, said that he felt it was the right time to bid adieu to the game which he played with "great pride for the country".
"I would like to announce my retirement from international cricket with immediate effect. I think it's right time to move on", an emotional Laxman told a press conference here.
Laxman, who was picked in the Indian squad for the two-match Test series against New Zealand beginning here from August 23, surprisingly chose to hang his boots with immediate effect without taking the opportunity to bow out of international cricket in front of his home crowd.
"It was a tough decision to take, I have always listened to my inner conscience. The inner voice is a divine voice, I have always done that right through my career. There was a lot of debate in the last four days. I felt this is the right time to move on", he said.
Laxman, who earned the sobriquet 'Very Very Special' for his style and flair, played 134 Tests, amassing 8,781 runs at an average of 45.97. He scored 17 hundreds and 56 half centuries in the longer format of the game.
V V S Laxman, who was not a regular in India's ODI team, played 86 matches for an aggregate of 2338 at an average of 30.76.
Unfortunately for him, he could never be a part of India's World Cup campaigns which remains one of his biggest regrets.

The Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality is currently looking for graduate students and faculty members interested in presenting their works. The symposium offers a space to discuss historical approaches to gender and sexuality. Our goals are to build a community of scholars interested in exploring the benefits and challenges of incorporating issues of gender and sexuality into their work, and to maintain a historically informed discussion about the field of gender and sexuality studies across academic disciplines. Because our primary focus is to include presenters engaging in different methods and styles of research, gender and sexuality are not topics that we see as narrowly defined. Instead, our goal is to explore the creative and scholarly potential of gender and sexuality as fields of inquiry.
We encourage and seek the participation of individuals from a variety of disciplines who critically engage history, gender, and sexuality in their works. There are a variety of opportunities available for presenters from an informal presentation about research experience and/or primary sources, a workshop that focuses on a work-in-progress, a critical discussion of a set of readings on a theoretical, historiographical, or current issue or a formal presentation of a conference paper or dissertation chapter.
History graduate student, Takkara Brunson (center), listens to a question after presenting a talk on Eusebia Cosme, Oct. 8, 2010
In the past, presenters have discussed a diverse range of topics. Last academic year presentations included: a panel on the current immigration crisis and the toll it takes on families; the recruitment of WWII Latina servicewomen; the story of Polish exiles in Iran; an analysis of frontier masculinity in Antebellum America as depicted in the Davy Crockett Almanacs; traditional midwifery and childbirth as cultural performance in Nigeria; a study of the transfer of female children in British Malaya; an analysis of abortion rights and reproductive healthcare, and a sneak peak at Dr. Judith Coffin's upcoming book in her presentation about letters written to Simone de Beauvoir.
We are currently looking for individuals to present their work during the 2015-2016 academic year. If you are interested in presenting at the Symposium, please contact the Symposium Co-Coordinators at firstname.lastname@example.com and attach a short abstract (200 words max) of your project or presentation by August 15, 2015. The Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality usually meets every other Friday from 12-2 pm.

There's a lot of chatter online as women share their stories of abuse. Some people in the conversation who are critical of Janay for staying in her marriage with her abuser claim that we are victim-blaming her and not being supportive or understanding of another couple's marriage.
The NFL needs not only to punish players who engage in domestic violence. It also needs to educate all its players about this issue.
Today, the world is a much different place than it was then, in my college days, and women no longer need to endure such treatment from their partners. There are resources and programs available that can help the one in three women who are experiencing domestic violence.
Often times when there are debates about sexism in the Black community, male counterparts ask, "What privileges do Black men have?" In case you're still wondering, this is what Black male privilege looks like.
Millions of women, including myself, across the country are shocked and enraged that it took an elevator surveillance video and the resulting media response to draw attention to domestic violence.
Even a little while ago, the Ravens website had posted a comment attributed to Janay Rice that she was basically sorry for her part in the altercation between the two of them. This may indeed be true, as the longer-length footage shows them trading insults and Janay apparently spitting on Ray. I can only ask: So?
It is my hope that the public outcry, tremendous media attention and discussions will not fade once the spotlights are turned off, but will lead to greater public awareness and prevention to proactively address domestic violence.
Can you believe in women's rights and enjoy football? Can you be angry about Ray Rice and the NFL's inadequate handling of him but still feel okay about watching the game? The answer, to both, is no.
If you don't understand how Ray Rice was allowed to initially escape prosecution, accepting a much lesser punishment of therapy from the court, nothing illustrates the culture of protecting the abusers of women better than Republican Ben Carson's statement on behalf of Ray Rice.
Where is the outcry from our leading domestic violence organizations in the wake of the latest Ray Rice elevator video, wherein he punches his fiance in the face?
It seems that we can only count on the National Football League and it's teams to do the right thing when there are no more lies to hide behind. The money they make and the appearances that they try so hard to keep up are their main focus.
NY Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan has been called many things. Churchillian isn't one of them. It should. The similarities with the former British Prime Minister are almost uncanny.
Entering O.J.'s office at Ravens Training Camp, you are immediately drawn in by his smile. It is enormous, radiant and genuine. While settling in for our interview, I was amazed by the combination of love and strength in the room.
The NFL has the opportunity and the responsibility to step up and communicate that incidents of domestic violence will not be tolerated. Ray Rice said he will "own it," and the league has a responsibility to do the same by taking specific actions.
Athletes have a unique role to play in triggering attitudinal change regarding violence against women. When they are instigators of this behavior, it sends a message that it is somehow acceptable because our heroes are involved.
It's time for our institutions to scrap their crisis communication plans when it comes to violence against women, and replace them with real plans to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable.

Alien Outlaw is a flick you might enjoy at a Drive In Movie that cost $1 per carload showing a few movies for that $1. As a child I enjoyed Lash La Rue and most of those old cowboy serials on 1950's T.V. programs, maybe you did too. These old cowpokes in this movie perform adequately for their age and it is nice to see them, most are gone now. Alien Outlaw is definitely one of those really strange cultish films and there are people on this planet who find it might be something to give them a great pleasure in it's ability to amaze and stupify. The Aliens are muggish frogmen and the cutie with the guns is very nice to look at as are most of the females, the dialogue is sorted, most of the actors try hard, Lash never uses a whip in this movie, ( I was disappointed) there is a horse and several 80's model cars, and a gas station. It may cause you to laugh. Small review. See the movie.
1st of the double feature:
"ALIEN OUTLAW" (1985) ~ (90 min/Color) ~ Starring: Lash La Rue, Kari Anderson, Paul Holman, Gil Newsome, Richard Davis, Liz Warrington, Sunset Carson, Bill Cody Jr, Paul Holman
Directed by Phil Smoot
If you enjoy over the top campy Sci-fi, then look no more, this is one of the classics with Lash, Sunset and Bill Cody. Filmed and directed by Phil Smoot, on a shoe string budget and the bear minimums, but what he could do with what he had is amazing. Kari Anderson looks great, but that's about it. This is a fun viewing, which can tickle your funny bone if you let it ~ Recommend 3 1/2 stars!
SPECIAL BONUS FEATURES (on the ALIEN OUTLAW DISC)
1. ALIEN OUTLAW: Contains a New Wide screen (1.66:1 Anamorphic) and a New Full screen version
2. Commentary track with both the Writer/Director and the Editor
3. Meet the Legends:Sunset Carson interviews Lash.
4. Meet the Ingenue:Interview with Kari Anderson
5. News Conference
6. Behind the Scenes: Home video footage on the set of Alien Outlaw
7. Trailer of 'The Dark Power' with Lash
2nd of the double feature:
"THE DARK POWER" (1987) ~ (81 min/Color) ~ Starring: Lash La Rue, Anna Lane Tatum, Cynthia Bailey, Mary Dalton, Paul Holman, Mighty Joe Coltrane
Directed by Phil Smoot
This is a blast from the past, with another Phil Smoot film featuring everyone's favorite B-Western cowboy Lash LaRue. Here we find sorority girls and out of sorts Native Americans, that call for the whip from Lash. Poor girls are being chased here and there with the bull whip champion ready for action.Read more ›
The film has some annoying and amusing diversions. On the annoying side of the house is a clear nominee for the most grating phone call in cinema history and the most ludicrous argument about hunting in history (on a related side note: a holster over boxer shorts is a fashion faux pas.) On the amusing side of the house are performances from two gentlemanly stars of westerns from decades ago, Sunset Carson and Lash La Rue. Also appearing as "Brown Horse" is "Happy Wingo". I loved the line "She's the Annie Oakley of the '80s!" (Courtesy of The Diamond Booking Agency, of course.) If you want to watch some tense contract negotiation, this is the alien western for you.
"Alien Outlaw" was filmed largely on location in Sparta, NC, and has an enjoyable folksy appeal if you like B-movies or westerns.Read more ›
Alas despite this being made after THE DARK POWER, it's less professional and generally a lower quality effort all around. For one thing the acting is just horrendous; the earlier film is about a bunch of college girls set upon by spirits of dead Indians, and the actresses seem like...dumb college girls, so it basically works. In ALIEN OUTLAW you've got a very mediocre actress (Kari Anderson in her only performance, apparently) chosen I suspect for her spectacular legs and rear end, which she shows off to great advantage in a skimpy cowgirl costume early in the film. She's professional trick shot Jesse Jamison (ha-ha get it?), and the plot of the film concerns aliens which look like cheap CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON knockoffs who come to earth to hunt humans for sport with our own weapons. They get ahold of some of Jesse's guns and go on a little spree, and it's up to our modern western heroine to take 'em out.
Not a bad premise really - with a certain similarity you might note to PREDATOR, which actually came out 2 years later - but the film does nothing with it.Read more ›

Hops may become WNC's next hot crop
Published: Monday, June 15, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 14, 2009 at 10:40 p.m.
The next time you pick up a pint of locally brewed beer, it might contain local ingredients. In conjunction with North Carolina Cooperative Extension, mountain farmers are being encouraged to try something new grow hops.
Jeanine Davis, associate professor and extension specialist at the Mountain Horticulture Crops Research and Extension Center in Mills River, said the extension is encouraging farmers to develop alternative crops in North Carolina. Previously, the agency has helped farmers grow Christmas trees and tomatoes two crops that have done exceptionally well in the state.
This is just continuing our tradition, Davis said.
Opportunity arose with hops a few years ago, she added. People became interested because of the worldwide shortage of hops.
At the time, hop producers could not keep up with the demand for specialty hops, often used in craft beer. Although that shortage has largely abated, Davis believes the crop could still prove a good investment for farmers. Asheville recently tied Portland, Ore., as the top beer city in the country. The brewers have numerous small breweries and purchase large amounts of hops.
There are still all kinds of opportunity now, Davis said.
Hops can supplement incomes generated from more standard farm fare like beans and hay, Davis believes.
By growing hops, its going to give (farmers) that little boost in income they might need, she said.
Hops farming isnt new to the United States. Centuries ago, European settlers brought the tradition with them to places like New England, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
But the east coasts moist climate proved problematic: Mold and disease often wiped out entire crops.
As production moved slowly westward, however, the crop improved thanks to drier conditions.
Davis acknowledged the east coasts climate has not changed much; disease is still a serious concern for modern hops farmers.
But of course we know a whole lot more about disease and how to prevent it now than we did centuries ago, she said.
Although she admitted there is no way to completely solve the humidity problem, Davis said growing hops should not be discouraged. Farmers must rely on prevention and management and on simply being aware.
Several local farmers have already accepted the challenge, Davis said. There are small hops operations in Haywood, Buncombe, Madison and Polk counties.
Theres got to be at least 50 hops farmers already, Davis said. Most of them are starting out small they dont have acres and acres, but they are definitely starting to go someplace.
Like most area craft brewers, brewer John Stuart of Ashevilles Green Man Brewing Co. currently imports his hops. Most come from Europe and the Yakima Valley in Washington.
Stuart said he would definitely be interested in buying local hops on one condition.
The quality has to be up to par, Stuart said. Were not going to put up with brown or oxidized hops or anything like that just because theyre local.
Hops are a pretty important ingredient for beer, he added.
Stuart said although he has not yet been approached by a local farmer looking to sell him hops, he has noticed an increase in the buzz.
I have talked to several people who are interested in starting a hop yard in Western North Carolina, he said.
Brewer Drew Barton of Ashevilles French Broad Brewery Co. agreed.
Theres actually quite a few farmers putting hops into the ground right now, Barton said. Were looking forward to working with them.

On Thursday, Sept. 17, students of two Spelman College English Department professors, Tarshia Stanley and Pushpa Parkekh, will be in conversation with Hazel Carby, Ph.D., about Octavia Bulter's Bloodchild and post-colonial women's literature.
In addition to the classroom discussions, on Thursday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m., Dr. Carby will also deliver the keynote lecture, "Writing by Hand," in the Camille Olivia Hanks Cosby, Ed.D. Academic Center, lower level, room 32; and on Friday, Sept. 18, she will attend a luncheon with students and faculty representing majors from across the campus.
Dr. Carby's visit is hosted by the College's Phi Beta Kappa chapter, Epsilon of Georgia, and the Ida B. Wells Distinguished Lecture and Performance Series, in collaboration with the Department of English and the Ethel Waddell Githii Honors Program.
Awarded the Modern Language Association's 2014 Hubbell Medal for Lifetime Achievement in American Literary Studies, Dr. Carby is the author of Reconstructing Womanhood: The Emergence of the Afro-American Woman Novelist; Race Men; Cultures in Babylon; and the forthcoming Imperial Intimacies, her most recent work that focuses on the entanglements of the islands of Britain and Jamaica from the anti-Napoleonic war to the anti-fascist war. Dr. Carby is the Charles and Dorathea S. Dilley Professor of African-American Studies and American Studies at Yale University, where she teaches courses on the literature and art of the Black Atlantic and the Caribbean; the transnational imaginaries of contemporary fiction; and science fiction in literature, visual culture and music.
The Ida B. Wells-Barnett Distinguished Lecture and Performance Series is coordinated by Mona T. Phillips, Ph.D, professor in the department of sociology and anthropology, and is housed in the Spelman College Social Justice Fellows Program directed by Cynthia Neal Spence, Ph.D., C'78.
Supported by the Andrew F. Mellon Foundation to promote interdisciplinarity as a core value of the College, the series is named for Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1931), who used multiple analytical languages to confront the politics of the Black body as well as the complexities of full citizenship for Black women and men.
Each year's theme not only provides an intellectual umbrella for the lectures, but for readings, events, panels and discussion groups throughout the year.
Since 1956, the Phi Beta Kappa Society's Visiting Scholar Program has been offering undergraduates the opportunity to spend time with some of America's most distinguished scholars. The purpose of the program is to contribute to the intellectual life of the institution by making possible an exchange of ideas between the Visiting Scholars and the resident faculty and students.
The 13 men and women participating during 2015-2016 will visit 100 colleges and universities with chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, spending two days on each campus and taking full part in the academic life of the institution. They will meet informally with students and faculty members, participate in classroom discussions and seminars, and give a lecture open to the university/college community and the general public.
