I am probably the only Roxxxy fan on the whole entire internet, and even I can't see her winning. Jinkx is a lock.

That was me! That outfit sounds right: I deleted my photos from her first set because they were blurry, but got plenty of good ones from her second. And right?! I had no idea that was really her voice for most of the way through the first song.

@janinedm:disqus That's a good point.

Considering Horchacha was pretty sweet the rest of the episode, and that it was Coco's partner stirring up drama with Jinkx's, yeah, I'm gonna assume that was production team magic.

Jocks in Frocks, the season three makeover challenge, is my favorite Drag Race episode ever (nothing can top, "THAT'S MY GIRL. OR BOY. WHATEVER." or The Greatest Lip Sync of Ours or Any Other Time) but this came pretty close! What made the challenge so fun and entertaining, moreso than the season 2 and 4 challenges,

I kinda have a feeling Jinkx is "due" for a lip sync, and since the strongest queens typically fumble the drag-up-a-dude challenge (Raja, Latrice), I'd say this would be a good a time as any. Especially now that she's emerged as the frontrunner, I could see her in the bottom next or the following week.

She opened with "When You've Got It, Flaunt It," then did "I Am A Good Girl" from Burlesque in the first set. In her second set she sang "I Can't Do It Alone" and "Nowadays" from Chicago. (After the line "But my sister is now unfortunately deceased" she said "Poor Ivy Winters!") She sang in a higher register than she

It was nice to see some good-natured ribbing between the girls this week. I liked the bit in the workroom when they were all riffing on each other: it didn't feel mean spirited, but playful and affectionate.

An interesting fact! I saw Jinkx perform this week (she was incredible, we hugged three times and wow the show did not due her singing voice justice), and she said she was fortunate to be getting an edit that makes her seem sweet, sympathetic, and demure, because she was NOT LIKE THAT at all. This was during a live

I met him, too, and he was very nice. I bothered him while he was online for a drink and babbled about being a fan and excited for new Arrested Development. He smiled and shook my hand and thanked me.

I can't find it now, but I saved a twitter exchange between the two of them when Ewan said he laughed so hard listening to Louie's stand up while driving he nearly drove off the road. Louie answered, "Well I'm glad you're alright. Because I'm in love with you. I mean, I'm a fan of your work."

I'm pretty sure the kai kai is going to be Detox and Roxxxy (all t all shade, I was embarrassingly disappointed when I thought that wasn't happening. But it's still on the table!)

@avclub-4c22933415130955839224009df8641f:disqus I don't think not knowing something - even something as big in the drag culture as Little Edie - is reason enough to dislike someone. That and I think Roxxxy was unfairly grouped in with Alyssa and Coco for "coming for" Jinkx in that episode. I've watched it three times

Haha, I made an account just to defend her honor! I think she's really cute and everyone's entitled to their opinions but she's been getting a needless amount of vitriol from the fan base and it makes me mad!!!!!

It's a matter of taste. Most of the things I find endearing about her others seem to find annoying - her loudmouthness, her obnoxiousness, her drag aesthetic. To be honest, this is the first season where I've liked almost every contestant, at least those within the top 8. (Even Coco, in flashes.) While I understand

I have my qualms with Michelle as a judge, but then she has those moments where I think, "Oh! That's why they keep her around." Calling out Coco was one, and suggesting Alaska do the "Wonder Woman" spin was another. Good suggestion!

UGH and the next challenge is a TELENOVELA CHALLENGE, why are they KEEPING THIS FROM ME, I can't wait a week!!!

Right! Contrast that with Roxxxy's confessional/apology, where she lays out why she was wrong and owns up to it. "I reacted badly, I unfairly targeted Jinkx." Yeah girl, OWN THOSE I-MESSAGES.

I can't fault that guy too much, since he gave a deserved win to Latrice for that challenge. But yeah, he was pretty bad. I'm also reminded of Dan Savage telling PhiPhi her slogan in the presidential challenge ("Kiki with PhiPhi!") would go over voters' heads. Uh, Dan? PhiPhi is not actually running for president.

My "need to pause the video because I'm missing things from laughing so hard" was Alaska's "YOUR MAKEUP LOOKS TERRRRRRRRIBLE." Also when Detox rattled off a list of "Alyssa's Secrets."
