Widow: (tearing up) I just feel like something’s crushing me...preventing me from doing better.

I’m just going to go and put this out there: Bob Harper was dead weight in the episode and one of the worst guests that we’ve seen in a while: I didn’t hear any useful advice at all, and his reaction shots weren’t particularly amusing. And he didn’t even appear on the panel to give feedback on the takes! Bob’s…

It didn’t help that, in one of her talking heads, she said “I’m going with the line that I’m most upset that Brita was eliminated”. Yikes! No matter her true intentions, she can’t blame the editing for that freudian slip.

Jackie’s smart, nerdy,  and funny, but she just keeps giving off bridesmaid vibes that I just can’t shake. She’s the Velma to Gigi’s Daphne.

While I’m glad that I was wrong about my fears for the eventual placings this episode, judging seemed off for the second episode in a row. Heidi’s terrific, and I hope she stays to the end, but Crystal clearly deserved the win. That runway look was some next-level Aquaria shit.

All I could think about was Polident-era Martha Rae during her talking heads. 

How about this trend, kids: if we discount the first two non-elimination episodes (a first, and therefore a unique consideration to throw into the mix), all susbsequent wins have been by Sherry and Gigi only. I’ve checked past seasons, and I haven’t seen another situation where, by the end of this many elimination…

What bothered me most about Sherry’s Snatch Game performance — makeup horrors aside — was that it seemed very stale and dated. The choice to lampoon parkinsonian-era Hepburn’s physical decrepitude felt like a recycled bit from a bitchy third-rate comedy routine ca. 2000...and just comes across as mean-spirited and…

Okay, but “jansition” just isn’t going to happen. Ever. 

I’m fairly surprised that Gigi has focussed her energies on attacking on Heidi’s makeup skills when Sherry’s continuing Pennywise Mae West kabuki disasters clearly present a much more disturbing and urgent problem. Why are none of the queens talking about this?

But I don’t want to see weekly episodes of Good Morning, Miss Goode! Maybe Gigi can be a special guest on next year’s breakout hit, Heidi ‘n Closet’s North Cackalacky Chicken Callin’ Ho Down.

Well if you want to game this out...
