I am sure this week was part of Eureka's 'journey'... But that still didn't stop it from being a dull week! I hope shes not going to continue her journey in a pair of ballet pumps. Plus size drag needs a heel. I dont care about your knee injury, BEAUTY IS PAIN! |

Best part of this week was Alyssa Didn’t she look beautiful? It was mostly quite dull though. I checked how long was left at 45 mins, which I don’t think I have done before. I’m going to check if the episodes have got longer. This one really did not need to be. I thought Busty Day Rottens looked great without the dots and the over-contoured nose. Who was that queen who used to look like a sword fish, she contoured her nose so much? Am mostly struggling to care. Fifteen minutes after the show and I cannot really remember who was on which team and if the Vixen actually deserved to win. |

A better episode with some great frocks.
Untucked made me so angry though. Really angry.

I was crying when Rusty May Cottons was taking about his conversion therapy. So sad that he had to go through that.
Asia stepped up her game this week. I loved that Tweetie Pie dress. I have to confessed that Aquaria (or was it Miz Cracker?) looked great as the shot bird (was anyone else reminded of Raja’s Carrie look?)
The runway was absolutely the sort of thing I was saying I wanted to see more of. I love seeing everyone interpret a theme, always feels like a level playing field.
I would like it if someone from Chicago wasn’t a totally cut throat Queen one season though. Apart from the Princess.

^ Shea Coulée was from Chicago and didn’t seem to be negatively portrayed.
This week it seemed like Ru was pretty flat... it sounded like his voice had been re-recorded and layered over the episode.

Monique Hart is my new favourite. It’s the facial expressions.

The Vixen very much reinforced my impressions of her.
I found her playing of the victim card in that way during Untucked to be cynical in the extreme. Nothing to do with her racial heritage and everything to do with her personality.

Sounds like RuPaul had a cold or something, she really wasn't her usual self.
Where y'all watching Untucked from?

Another mediocre episode. It is too early for the Ball challenge. Too many looks to remember.
Wrong people were put safe. And watch out for the explosion during Untucked. Someone just loves to create drama so she can play the victim. Not nice. Not nice at all.

Someone just loves to create drama so she can play the victim. Not nice. Not nice at all. I loved this week’s challenge!!! I’ll have your share! Exactly the sort of episode I love and I am just greedily hoping that we get a second ball challenge later in the season. I thought it gave us a chance to see what the queens can do with “lewks”. Once again though, I cannot remember who left 15 mins after the end of the show. While I don’t really like Aquaria as a contestant, I appreciated every single look she served this week. That said, I finally found AS2 on YouTube and watched an episode of that straight after, and I think her debt to Alaska is large. I’m over Mayhem’s contact lenses. Actually, Yara Sofia is the only one who I thought could ever really pull off a spooky contact. I’m off to watch Untucked. |

While I think. Ru’s look. What d’y’all reckon?
I’ll start. If it had been done with makeup, I would have loved it, but it just looked like a Laura Ashley gimp mask because of the neck bagging.

I wasn’t overly impressed either. It said more club kid to me than Martian extravaganza. That dress though! Bam!  |

I really don't know how The Vixen got away with her Martian look. It was baaaaasic.
Aqauria is all facade and no depth - at least so far. She may have been at it for a few years - but her drag experience is not deep.
I think I am firmly in Team Cracker. She is quirky, original and has some flair.

I feel like we are being set up for the Cracker/Aquaria lip synch, and the Vixen/(Eureka or Aquaria) one. So that’s the next couple of weeks sorted. |

Hated Ru’s look. I don’t ever recall him doing that before, it’s always been face face face. I wonder if there was something behind it... Botox settling in mayhaps?
I do think the right one left. She seemed very sweet and sincere but I found her looks a bit messy.
Im not getting the love for Cracker yet, how tiny is she? She doesn’t have enough physical stature to carry off some of those huge looks and looked like a child dressing in its mum’s clothes to me.
If you like aftershow analysis there’s a podcast called Alright Mary which dissects the weeks proceedings in forensic detail. They also have guest interviews, Trixie and Bendelacreme being recent examples.

I know that Asia helped all the girls this week, but her own looks were BASIC. I get the impression she is fierce with a sewing machine, but not the best at designing looks. There's nothing that could have saved that brown swimsuit she wore.
Monet (who sounds identical to Bob The Drag Queen) really turned it out in the lip synch. The death drop fake out was everything!!
Blair St Clair is adorable and i hope she does really well going forward.
In Untucked, I think the Vixen went overboard. She goes from 0 - attack very quickly.
Have you seen Watchin Packin? Dusty was great and very sweet. And kinda attractive. He's a musical theatre queen too. But it was definitely his week to go compartred to the others.

10 queens left. Is it Snatch Game next week?? I thought it would be, but it’s the Bossy Rossy challenge, Jerry Springer stylee acting challenge. Since AS3 when they had Kristin as a contestant on the snatch game lineup I wouldn’t presume anything anymore. My new top 3 are now Miz Cracker, Monique Heart & Asia O’Hara. I think it’s brilliant when Monique feels short changed every episode when she’s not in the top or the winner, she gives great face. Aquaria I honestly am not getting, her last three looks weren’t better than Cracker’s IMO. That quilted lightning bolt was a lazy choice and looked like an afterthought. |

Was just discussing Monet’s lip synch with a friend, and it struck me that we actually see very little of the core skill that a drag queen must have; the ability to interpret a popular song through the medium of lipsynch. Even challenges like Pharmarusical just touch on the skill.
When I think about my favourite moments, it’s when we’ve seen them them turn it out for the lipsynch, but the format of the show means we rarely get to see the best people lipsynch (until the final.) I felt like Monet’s lipsynch was season winning, I got to see what she does best.
What are your iconic lipsynch moments? I am going to start with;
Latrice Royale - You Make Me Feel (Like a Natural Woman)
Raven and Jujubee - Black Velvet
Roxxxy’s second wig reveal
Sasha Velour and the petals in her season finale

Seasons 2-7 will be coming off Netflix at the end of the month. Gutted.

My favourite all time lip syncs include: Manila & Delta Work - MacArthur Park BDLC & Aja - Anaconda BDLC & Shangela - I kissed a Girl Nina Bonina & Valentina - Greedy Katya & Sasha Belle - Twist of Fate Joselyn Fox & LaGanja - Stupid Girls (they both landed their splits at exactly the same time, it was legendary). Peppermint & Cynthia Lee - Music Sasha Velour & Shea Coulée - So Emotional I can’t even talk about the Netflix removal right now, I’m still in denial  |

well that episode changed a few things
I don't buy the 'reconciliation' - Vixen still has claws. She thoroughly deserved to be where she was - if not lower.
She tried to play a game - and lost. I enjoyed that.
Runway looks were all pretty lame. Just not a good theme.
I would have gone the other way on the elimination. If you are going to rip off your outfit - make sure it all comes off and you aren't tied up by chaps!
