Michelle feels Chad is predictable, but Santino feels it means she’s polished.  Santino and Ru feel that Juju is too reserved, but Michelle fights for her.  Michelle is able to find something nice to say about Shannel which seemed to be impossible for anyone else.  Raven is given many props for her comedy, originality, and oozing sex appeal.  It sounds like it shall be a battle between Chad and Raven.  I love Jujubee so very much, but I’m OK with this.

Juju and Shannel are told they’ll be sashaying away.  Poor Juju.  Chad and Raven must serve up the world’s greatest LSFYL of all time.  Raven has flashbacks to her final LSFYL at her tragic loss to Tyra Sanchez.  What it really comes down to is sexy versus sharp, because they are equally fierce. 

And the winna’ is…

 

And now for our final Untucked…

Backstage, the girls dive into their big, pink, fuzzy box only to find a bowl loaded with orange Tic-Tacs, which can only mean one thing…interviews with RuRu!

We learn that Jujubee is a people-pleaser and Raven feels that she’s been letting RuRu down.  She even sheds tears!  Boy, have Raven turned over a new leaf since her last season, or what?  She’s so damn human and likeable.  Chad struggles with a need to be perfect, which brings Ru to reveal her human side.  Ru deals with a strong need to be perfect and has to remind herself it’s not going to happen.  Gee, I guess I could take a page from that book. 

Then Ru pulls a Barbara Walters by asking Shannel if she’s always been so confident.  That brings out the story of losing her mother back in 2009 as the result of a massive heart attack.  His mother was his rock and losing that rock kicked the legs right out from under him.  Again, man do I know that loss.  Poor Shannel.  He may be bombastic, but he has definitely suffered a pain I hope to never go through again.

Ru leaves the girls who are beside themselves to see RuPaul stripped down and real.  The girls get a little upset at Shannel when she shares that she never expected get this far.  I can’t blame her, because I’m one of those who likes to set the bar really low so they come out on top most of the time.  It’s a form of positive pessimism, if you will.

So, what did y’all think?  I hope Jessica Wild’s premature post didn’t ruin it for anyone else.  Tell all, Gasmii!

I’d also like to take this opportunity to say “thank you”, “mwah”, and “good bye”.  I’m hanging up my recapping hat, for now at least.  I allow my life to get overwhelming because I am psychopath (OK, not literally.  Literally I have OCD) and take on too much, insist I be really great at it, and then burst into crazy flames.  Maybe once my baby starts school I’ll have more time to commit to writing while still getting my real jobs done.  Until then, my dears, you’ve been great and it’s been real.

About

Hi, there!  About me...well, let's see.  I like to think of myself as an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in a mystery.  Sometimes my personality doesn't even reconcile in my own head.  I'm a really caring and sensitive person, but I have a dark, dry, sarcastic sense of humor which tends gives the impression that I have no soul.  I am married to a great guy who shares my sense of humor and we have a son who, both fortunately and unfortunately, has his mother's personality.   I'm an independent contractor who works from home and keeps the kid all day, everyday.  I've loved to write my whole life and have big, never-to-be-achieved dreams of one day writing a book.  My favorite past time is laughing, which is what brought me to this site.  I can laugh at almost anything, so beware.

    shannel should have won. juju and raven couldn’t put decent drag together to save a last cig. plastic wigs and cheap cocktail wear EVERY TIME. and chad…well chad can’t do much about his face, except try painting it differently..but he NEVER does. he ALWAYS looks the same. #TeamSHANNEL

    I was super torn between Chad and Raven. I feel like Chad has paid her dues and has earned the right to the title. I want to give a big fat crown to Chad, Raven AND JuJu. Shannel would’ve gone home a long time ago had she not been paired up with Chad. The challenges were all great. Shannel was purely getting pity laughs. The other three were great. Cheri was great as a mentor. I can’t wait for season 5!

    I felt like Chad deserved it, she has been doing it for 20 years, and I think that mattered to Ru. I loved the 3 comedy bits . . . . very funny! I was impressed.

    Enjoy your break, Sugarbush, hope we’ll still see you around in the comments! Mwah!

    I heart Raven, but there’s something muddy about the make-up this time around . . . it doesn’t look tan, or armenian, it just looks kinda dirty-ish . . . is it me!? Her skin in the talking heads out of drag is gorgeous!

    Love her anyway!!!

    xoxo

    Chad clearly deserved the win. She had her eyes on the prize from the get-go, and didn’t get distracted by the drama that kept popping up (cough…Yarlexis…cough…) I am so glad that Ru released her from the shackles of Shannel and let her shine on her own. Good going, Gurl!!!

    Raven and Juju are still major forces to be reckoned with, and even without the titles, they will ALWAYS be included in Ru’s Drag Elite.

    I’m totally looking forward to the next season. But I have to say – there’s going to be a LOT of pressure on Alaska.

    Firstly, Sugarbush, thank you for the amazing recaps.
    I hope you can wrangle your life back under control and return to us soon!
    And I understand totally what you’re talking about…we don’t get paid overtime and all my friends are texting me about happy hour, and yet, I’m still at the office working because I wanted to show off for my boss and bit off way more than I could chew. But I will chew it. And I will do it perfectly or I will die trying goddamnit.

    I was so sad about Raven not winning that I didn’t even watch Untucked.
    The sad thing is that I honestly can’t think of a reason for Chad to not have won.
    Her comedy wasn’t as funny as Juju or Raven’s, but her interview and hamburger speech were the best. Her face and body are always perfect, even if her face does look the same alot. She also has a good heart, even though she was a little cold-blooded to Shannel sometimes.
    Damn that flawless betch.

    But whatever….to me, Raven will always be queen of queens.
    She doesn’t need a crown to prove it, but I will make one and send it to her. She’ll probably be disgusted by it and throw it away, but that’s why I love her LOL.

    When your drag name = your real name, that shows a lack of creativity. I generally hate Raven but she should’ve won.

    I was out of town so I missed the spoiler. I watched it as soon as I got back. Priorities am I right?

    I am okay with Chad winning. I love him. I was rooting for Juju after Yarlexis left. I love Juju and he is always a runner up but makes such a pretty girl and does some good lip syncing.
