Yara is pissed off, but willingly admits she’s bitter. I like her honesty. It’s Alexis versus Raven. Let’s see what happens. Oh my God, I’m not happy about this at all. Juju is worried, too. I wonder if she’ll hit that button. Someone has to at some point.
They lip sync to Pussycat Dolls. Alexis is dancing great, but Raven is being ultra sexy, strippery. It’s great. Raven is killing it. In super-duper slow motion, we see Yara hit the button and saunter onto the runway. Oh girl, you know Alexis is going to be pissed. She can’t handle any negative criticism. Yara tells us her idea was to combine their powers to create a vortex that will suck Rujubee in and spit them out. Too bad for you, dear, ’cause Raven is just killing the hell out of it. He even takes off his dress and rolls his hips. He’s incredible. This was Raven’s game tonight. Best lip sync she’s ever done – hands down.
Raven and Juju stay!!!! Yarlexis go home. That’s just a bad coupling of over confidence and under confidence. Kelly, ever the sweetie, is crying to see them leave. Finally, the two teams that I wanted to see in the end are there. It seems as though we’ll go down to individuals next week. Let’s hope. We need to DRAG this season out. < - see what I did there?
It’s like me with my in-laws, if my in-laws were drag queens.
And now for Untucked…
Kelly tells us that she’s glad to be in with the challenge rather than judging, because she thinks every single woman on this show in fierce. The girls talk about criticism and I find it funny that Yarlexis doesn’t join in at all. Ruju is asked about not dragging up Kady Z and Raven chooses to use the phrase “dumb it down” with regards to the change they had to make with her makeup. Not the best choice of words, but I would be one to disagree, either. Kady seems to be a bit of an airhead, the more she talks.
Kelly hopes her team doesn’t get sent home, because she feels it will be her fault. Little does she know, she’s what the judges loved about the group. I hope she realizes that now.
Now we take a peek into the big, furry, pink box. The queens leave the real girls in the lounge and move into the gold bar. Juju’s boyfriend Chris appears on the screen. It’s Chris’ birthday and wants his only gift to be that Juju brings home the crown. He takes this opportunity to propose marriage in a subtle way. Everyone’s crying and Juju cries that she doesn’t want to look ugly and hopes he gets the ring from Tiffany’s.
Yara tells us that she wants to settle down and they all give her the sound advice that I tell others – don’t search for it, because it will find you. She’s so damn cute, I hope she finds someone.
If you like it, spread it!:

OMG That song!!!!!!! I danced in my basement many a days after school to “It takes two” with my friends – and that video- I had it on VHS I recorded off tv to learn the moves…wow…major flashback…I kinda miss the early 90′s esthetic ! ( bless the children too young to remember !)
wow michelle visage…haha..classic.
Kelly is the cutest thing ever…I really like her attitude and genuine love or drag! I liked Yarlexis cheerleader read the best . I cant believe Yara pushed the button…Raven was serving that lip-sync – well done.
Do they split up now and go as individuals?? I missed the preview
I also loved seeing Kelly O on the DRAG side of the show this week. She was having so much fun. On the other hand, Kady was a drag, not wanting to play along. She ended up looking like a douche on TV, just like her queen-mates said she would.
With 4 All-Stars left and 2 episodes to go, I don’t know if they will split them up next week, do you?
I am sad to see Yarlexis go home. If I was a gay man I would totally marry Yara. Her boy form is so cute!
I enjoyed seeing Kelly having such a good time. I wanna do the same thing and let some drag queens do me up and perform with them!
I gotta disagree with Raven doing a great lip sync. I was not feeling it. Juju now she can lip sync. Juju was my favorite from her season.
I know that song but I never knew Michelle Visage was a anything……ahhaha I wondered how the heck she was and how she got that job! So I am glad I actually know who she is now!
I was so let down with the library cheers. Yarlexis actually were the funniest. They were the only ones that made Hubby and I laugh. I called hubby in to watch the library part with me because he adores that one video where it has Juju reading Tyra. But he was let down and left sad.
They betta split them . . . but then, they might go all hunger games on us!!! sigh . . . Kelly was awesome, I’m glad I don’t know her from the Osbornes! I can’t believe Raven didn’t put her hands on her hips, and say, “Churl! You are here to do drag tonight and help us win, it’s about us, not you, Now pucker!!!”
I think poor Kady is hoping for a career of some kind and took this gig coz she could get it, and doesn’t even watch the show . . . sigh . . .
I’m glad I saw Michelle in action there, it’s softened me on her a bit!
Favoritism seems to be Rus favorite quality this season. Yarlexis are both fierce queens. Alexis is bomb. There, i said it. Bam! I’m over this season. No one deserves to win. NO ONE.
As soon as I saw what song they were performing to, I knew Raven was going to Raja up that lip sync. Unfortunately for Alexis she’s no Carmen so she was at a clear disadvantage even if she’s a great dancer because she has as much sex appeal in drag as your spinster aunt. I know it seemed bitchy and controlling for Yara to jump in but I think it was a much less evenly matched performance than shown and they were going down anyway so she swung for the fences hoping she could save it.
I am glad Juju and her BF are getting married and not waiting until all 50 states get their shit together and make it legal.
When they said Michelle Visage used to be in a group I thought it Had to be KISS.
Raven is fierce as a woman and yet so beautiful as a boy, sometimes I think he could tone some of the makeup down and be even more beautiful. Her lip sync and strip was great, so sexy.
Kelly was amazing on the show and did seem to be appreciating every moment of it while Kada was ridiculous. How could she not know that the show was all about dragging it up, duh.
I’m glad they didn’t lose or that might not have been such a mild interaction between the 3 of them regarding her not owning her part in asking them to tone her down.
I forgot the rules for this season but I do hope they split them up and let them compete for the final win as individuals. I didn’t like this duo version of drag race, some people went home way before they should have because of their teammate and yet I’m okay with Raven, Jujubee or Chad taking the win. Not the biggest fan of Shannel and don’t think she would be still be there if not for Chad’s fabulousness.
I forgot to say that this was a great recap, thanks for including all the little extra’s like Michelle’s video and Raven as Donatella..she looks creepy and yet much better than the real Donatella.
Oh and curse that Gay Orbitz commercial. It causes the video to freeze and mess up every fucking time it comes on for some reason.
If you use Ad-block, then the commercials get skipped over, and the show doesn’t freeze. When I discovered that, it was like heaven opened up for me.
I still get skipping issues with Logo, but no more freezes.
And Kady Z is so fucking stupid, I can’t.
Why did she say that she didn’t get the concept?
What concept is there not to get?
This is RuPaul’s Drag Race, bitch. DRAG RACE. With RuPaul. Who is a DRAG QUEEN. Does she not know what that is? Or did she think drag queens just put on some Covergirl foundation, lipstick, and a wig and hit the bricks? No bitch, there is mad work and makeup involved in that shit.
And even if she didn’t get this, this thing is not about her. This is not RuPaul’s Kady Z Race. Win or lose, she’s going home. So why did she think she was running shit? And why didn’t anyone tell her about herself?
Damn you, Raven and Juju for wanting to be nice to her.
And double damn them for continuing the niceness and not telling on her in front of the judges. Because I would have told.
And Juju was killing me with her performance. She was so freaking good, and I love that she has been on point this whole season. I remember in her season, there were people who said that she wasn’t that good and didn’t deserve to be in the final three, but she is really turning it this time around.
Twerk, betch. And congratulations on your engagement.
Kelly Osbourne is my favorite and Jillian is so beautiful, I can’t.
I think that Yara knew down deep that Yarlexis was going home, and wanted to get some time out there on the floor to do her thing and and go home with her head held high. I felt that twinge of sadness that Yara so badly yearns for love…especially after seeing Juju’s partner lay it out.
Kady Z, WTF? I wanted to slap that bitch. What did she think she’d be doing on a muthafkn DRAG show?
I am truly hoping they split the teams now, because Chad, Juju and Raven deserve a fair chance at the title.
I read on Shannel’s FB that during the cheer-reading challenge, she was going for a specific look … “blow-up doll” realness. Once I read that, I went back and re-watched. She nailed it.
Have you all seen the contestants for season 5? They are gorgeous! January can’t get here soon enough for me!
I saw some of the contestants. I saw Alaska Sharon Needles’s boyfriend is one of them and I got excited about that!
They finally released them all in one place:
http://www.newnownext.com/rupauls-drag-race-season-5-trailer/11/2012/?xrs=synd_facebook_rupaulsdragrace
Soo excited.
Dear Ru,
First you rob me of the snatch game then you pull that cheer-reading bullshit on me ?
Please stop fucking it up ! Seriously bitch… donde esta la biblioteca ?
Love. An angry fat french queen.
Then again I kinda forgave the bitch the minute I heard that season 5 was on January.
I’m gonna have to wait for someone to put the trailer on youtube though… because of course, due to copyright bullshit, this video cannot be viewed in my country.
As if I’m gonna start selling bootleg copies of RuPaul’s Drag Race episodes.
As for the episode, I loved Kelly Osbourne (both in the episode and in Untucked) and was disappointed in Kady Z (although as seen on Untucked, she was shown to have some modicum of self awareness… she still should have talked in front of the panel). Girl, you are Pia fucking Zadora’s daughter and you are on a drag queen show, let those georgeous queens paint you up. Jillian is pretty much as flawless as her mother.
And god did Raven killed that lip-sync ? I don’t blame Yara Sofia for pushing that button even if it was too late to save her team. The editors tried to make it seem as if Alexis had a chance but the close-up to the team partners showed a very different reality. Juju was pretty much cheering Raven using her two-toned wig as pompoms while Yara was very unconfortable and a little bit scared.
And Congratulations to Airline and his cute boyfriend Chris getting married.
I, incredibly sadly, don’t believe they’ll be splitting up until it’s down to the final team. Then I think they will battle one against the other to see who wins the whole prize package. If it’s team Shad against each other, it’s no contest. Chad all the way. And girl has earned that title. If it’s team Rujubee, I don’t know. It’s pretty damned close. I want a 3 way win between Chad, Raven and JuJu. It’s so hard!
Kelly and Jillian were both amazing. Kady was a waste of time and space. She couldn’t lip-sync, she couldn’t dance, and she couldn’t get painted up? Are you kidding? Why would you come on this show if you weren’t willing to get dragged out? If you don’t want to, move over bitch, I’ll take your place!
Yarlexis was definitely due to go. I’m surprised we had to wait this long for someone to push the button. And in all actuality, I don’t think it’s an actual button, I think it’s just the light and they touch it to signal they want in. Which I think it’s kind of weird. I could be wrong. But that’s what it looked like to me. Hallelujah for season 5 starting in January!! Is there going to be a reunion?
I also was super impressed with Jillian. I heart Vanessa Williams so much and damn her daughter is just as gorgeous as she was at that age and a dancer just like Mom. I would have put her in the middle too. That ass am I right? I think she was the main reason Shad won. Jillian worked it out. Kelly is amazing too but she is not a dancer to her own admission but I loved how she went all in and the most important part had a lot of fun.
I am going to have to disagree with the majority and say I do think Yarlexis was made fun of for not speaking English. Manila was HORRIBLE to Alexis on their season. So I don’t blame why Alexis was like “Damn” as soon as she saw Manila there. It would be like me having to do a drag race competition against the girls that mocked me in high school or middle school. I would not be thrilled either. Although I probably would say “Fuck it” and just blow those tired bitches out of the water because I am the one that’s cool now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFhgupR565Q haha
