I actually...sort of liked it. Yes, yes, I know, but I find Sherry to be most compelling when she goes into full-on costume, a fact I find to be quite disturbing. The Frozen look, the Baby Jane/Voodoo doll, and this creation (even if it did look like one of the Widow’s castoffs) were at least interesting. It’s her…

Agreed on all points. Even the weakest performances of the Season 3 improv challenge were more interesting than this mess.

I’d be very interested to know if that gleeful timestamp on her routine was a pre- or post-scandal editing choice. Everyone seemed to have loved the routine, and Ru has routinely forgiven quite large errors as long as the cardinal rule is followed — make me laugh — so it would have seemed to be a strange note for a…

Crystal was fun, but I actually thought Velma was the clear winner of the episode. I mean the Susan Lucci of drag. Er, Jackie.

Bianca: “What is this, The Color Purple?”

This episode was as rough as hell. The mini-challenge was a bore, Whoopi’s session was a snore, and none of the routines really landed. When you compare this with the Season 3 improv challenge, which had several standout performances and an incredible one from Shangela, this one just fell flat. And it was shocking to…

I think we’ve moved beyond the point of lending a helping hand to a sister. Besides, it was Jaida (and perhaps Sherry?) — and not Gigi — who helped her in the past.

...and she “borrowed it from another queen”. WHO?? I’m assuming that it was from Sherry’s wardrobe, but much as I dislike her drag, even she has better taste than that.

Coming next week: Heidi Delighty; Heidi GoLightly; Heidi Visagey

Heidi didn’t do a great job with her superfan, but she gave one of the best (the best?) Diana Ross looks we’ve seen on the show. So yes, I can just imagine how Ru would have ripped her a new one if she had destroyed the look of Ru’s beloved just to bedazzle Honey. Actually, Heidi’s given us two great Diana Ross looks:…

I don’t get the hate for Aiden. She didn’t perform well this season, but she seemed pretty likable and will probably be much more polished as her drag matures. That early episode drama with Nicky and Brita just came across as competition-tension, and not really a reflection of how she’d interact with other queens off…

See, though, I have no doubt about Sherry’s talents as a performer from what little footage we’ve been given on screen. I just can’t stand her paint, and her costumes, as over-the-top camp as they’ve been, just haven’t been all that interesting. Mimi’s looks, for instance, may have been crunchy, but they were a whole…

I think part of the problem was that the writers were completely thown off track by the Sherry Shenanigans as the season began to start, and they had to completely change tack on what stories they planned to showcase throughout the season. I’m assuming from the first episodes that the primary story line was going to…

Widow has an undeniable amount of energy and an incredible screen presence. She was always relatable and honest even when she was being a bit of a sourpuss, and it was hard to outright dislike her, even though her drag was often pretty bad. By the end of her run, I’d been dragged on to #TeamWidow, willingly or not,…

I’ve no doubt my abhorrence with and at Sherry’s off-screen antics have coloured my overall reception of her on the show, but I still find her drag to be very stale. Her one moment of excellence for me was her Voodoo Baby Jane look, when she took her archetype and gave it a twist. That was outstanding.

It was one of those runner-up looks that grows on you over time. I think that the overall concept of Muppet Drag was too new and jarring to really gel with the judges on the runway, and so they gave the win to to Jaida, who presented an excellent interpretation of a more traditional glamour look. Still: it was surprisi…

I’d be happy to see Jaida to win this season, as she really has what it takes to take it all the way: she’s funny, talented, focussed, can serve looks and, unlike Gigi, is a Fun Bitch.  While it’s great that the editors have recently given her a lot more screentime, it’s a jarring shift from her complete absence in…

Heidi’s been getting a sweetheart edit, and it’s been delightful to see. I have to admit she was the weakest of the bunch this week,but am terribly glad that she stayed. I can’t imagine how dull the rest of the season would be without her spontaneous joy and, I have to say, humanity, and it’s difficult to see who…

Yes to all this. This episode felt the least spliced and diced that we’ve seen in some time, and perhaps that adds to its easy and delightful flow. I did feel bad for Janet the Planet, though — who’d want to end up looking like that?? For a gleeful moment I thought Ross’ “What the fuck am I looking at??” was directed…

But we now know, of course, that Sherry has shredded her golden ticket to the finale, so everything’s up in the air again. Since this is now essentially a top five — and not a top six — and in light of the revelations of Sherry’s behaviour, it would be incredible if Ru just decided to make it a top three and not bring…
