I loved Willow’s appreciation of Daya’s cutthroat attitude. Willow has excellent taste.

No, it wasn’t! Resume the eliminations! Some clown once said this isn’t Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and I have to agree.

The Ru-Ru’s, Bangleru’s, Runanadrama and the Pointru Sisters.

Honestly, have they ever left someone’s mic on after they’ve sashayed away?

It was depressing to see that the queens could only reach back twenty years or so ago to name any girl groups at all, and you could tell that Angeria felt she was really stretching back to the stone age for that SWV name drop. No Go-Go’s? Bangles? Bananadrama? Pointer Sisters?

• This episode reminded me of the season eight Battle Of The ’80s Bands. I wouldn’t mind this kind of challenge becoming a semi-regular affair.

Kerri’s outfit and makeup were so unrelentingly repellent that I had to look away on multiple occasions. What?! How?! I’m sure that garment was expensive, but it was both ugly and crafty, and showed a surprising lack of taste. Maybe she found her old Creepy Crawlers oven in the basement and decided that she could turn…

I already have, including the one in which Jimbo emerged from her “cruise” in Dimension X to terrorize Tia Kofi. Best. Interview. Ever.

Wow, I completely forgot about that terrible performance. “Dreaming” is not an easy lipsync song, but that was like a third-rate club act at eight in the evening, what with Trixie’s endless flailing and Pearl’s Westworld Fembot routine in that awful Frank-n-Furter (as Miss Cleo) getup. I think I’m completely justified…

It’s supremely ironic that this is one of the only acting challenges that didn’t need any comic sweetening. I shudder to think of what RuPaul is going to spring on us when she discovers the incredible career of the nineteenth-century flatulist The Fartiste. Actually, I know exactly what she’d do.

I can’t believe that this is only the second Blondie song that they’ve used for the lipsync. I keep hoping that they’ll feature one of their stellar post-reunion singles, as much as I love their classic hits: “Good Boys” would have been perfect for this theme.

The addition of a “Rudemption” episode in the middle of a season is a great idea and one that would be welcome on every season, if only to momentarily temper the petty bitchiness of the “B” narratives and remind the viewing audience that all the queens have put out a lot and deserve some love. Although I note that…

I think, if it weren’t for the whole sexuality angle

Jimbo’s talent was showcased brilliantly on S1 of Canada’s Drag Race, though; it was the judges — and not the viewers — who didn’t “get” her drag.

Lady Camden is getting the full Jan. What the hell? This is the second episode in a row that she should’ve won. She’s either going to be cut in the next two episodes or they’re grooming her for a “came from behind but deserved it all along!” winner’s edit.

• The show clearly has no interest in Maddy or her drag. It simply likes putting a heterosexual man in queer positions to see if they can make her uncomfortable and spark some sort of gay panic. Hence, the blowup doll.

The only runway looks that demanded a second look were those presented by Lady Camden, Willow, Bosco, and Angeria. I’m going to take Willow’s word that “unfinished details” kept the look from the top, because I thought it was stunning. Daya’s “babydoll” look gave me (unintended, I hope) nightmarish flashbacks to…

While I always prefer the show to focus on creativity and talent over drama, I have to say that the montage of brilliantly-edited cips showing Daya fuming and steaming at the injustice of safe almost reached the level of performance art. Finally, a talent at which she’s clearly in the top! I agree that Jorgeous’ win…

See, though, the best looks that have been show on this show and its many franchises — Violet’s corseted, asphyxiated nightmare, Jimbo’s denim patchwork freakshow (or this week’s chess piece, for that matter), Pythia’s two-headed fortune teller, and Pangina’s entire runways, to name a few — have all been about power,…

Compare and constrast with April Carillon’s exemplary “Best Drag” look. They’re about even in concept and execution, but April knew she looked stunning and threw that back at the Judges. Maddy has to learn to flirt with the judges, to start. Just lie back and think of Little Rock, Maddy! It’s just not that hard to…
