Kelly’s head was filled with bullshit about the other girls bullying her team, so she’s not happy with the other queens.  Nice job, Yara and Alexis.  Kady is upset that she didn’t let them drag her out and feels like a bitch.  Apparently, she even had them change her earrings.  The other two are a bit taken aback with Kady’s attitude.  Raven’s pissed that Kady didn’t speak up on the runway.

Kelly asks Jillian to choose between Chad and Shannel.  Jillian reluctantly chooses Chad, because she’s a legend and has paid her dues.  Kelly thinks Alexis is Chad in the making, but Yara is a superstar.

Raven then jumps on Kady, but Kady doesn’t seem to get it.  Everyone kind of shakes their heads.  Bless her little stupid heart.

When Rujubee is told they’re up for elimination, Kelly freaks.  She knows they can easily send anyone else home with their lip sync.  She smartly also prays that no one pulls of their wig.  She’s clearly a dedicated fan of this show.  Kelly shows true upset over her girls going home.  She’s the coolest person on the planet.

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.

    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. :D

    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!

    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
