Drag Race Recap: The Alyssa Edwards Show


Hello again, Gasmii! And welcome to another week of “The Little Show that Could.”  Previously, the queens created “kidster” television shows where Vivi…zzzz’s suckage was brought to the fore by Roxxxy’s over the top performance. We watched  round 843 of the bullshit between Alyssa and Coco, and Monica sashayed away.

Monica Beverly Havisham

The queens go back to the workroom after the runway and everyone’s sad because Monica, while not up to par with the other queens, was sweet and everyone’s friend. Coco lies through her teeth that she didn’t want to see Monica go so Jade kindly points out that she didn’t want to see Coco go, either. Then tells us in interview that Coco’s become her BFF on the show which is just another notch in my Team Alyssa belt because Jade still bugs the crap out of me.

Roxxxy leads us into the post mortem and asks Coco how it felt to suck so bad she had to lip synch. Coco finds a way to blame Alyssa. Seriously, until one or the other actually lays it all out, I DON’T CARE. For real, it’s just like those arguments you had in seventh grade because some girl you THOUGHT was your BFF went around behind your back and asked the boy you like’s sister did he like you and when she found out that yeah he kinda does like you, she told him you were going out of town that weekend to visit your uncle in prison and then asked him if he wanted to go to the movies and he said yes, but nuh uh, she swears she didn’t say anything but it was on her Facebook page and what?

Glamour! Eleganza!

Roxxxy doesn’t give a shit, either, because she quickly moves on to Vivi…zzzz, wondering how she felt when she didn’t have to lip synch because when she turned around her face looked like she just lost a bet with a fart. Vivi…zzzz admits she was a little terrified that she’d pull a Willam, but gurr, don’t flatter yourself. Roxxxy points out that Vivi…zzzz’s critique was that she sucked and Roxxxy was awesome so now Vivi…zzzz has to figure out how not to suck so bad.

Vivi…zzzz remembers it a little differently. They were working well together and the script was really good but somehow Roxxxy “overpowered” her (by actually having a personality) because Roxxxy’s an “attention whore” which, what? You’re a DRAG QUEEN. That’s a job requirement. Anyway, Vivi…zzzz also says Roxxxy’s annoying and she wants her to go home. Heh. Don’t trip on that anvil, Vivi…zzzz.

Attention whore? MOI? Mais non!

By the way, apropos of nothing, this week’s guest judges are Travis Wall and Chaz Bono and while we watch Travis pirouette like the elegant little nymph he is, poor Chaz shambles down the runway like a diffident Ewok. But Chaz does share genetic material with Cher so even Steven.

    Great recap!

    My favs are Jinxx, Roxxxy, Alaska, Detox, and Alyssa. Team Alyssa all the way. She really is just too much with her bitch faces and her shade throwing. You gotta love her because Miss Thing is entertaining. Plus as a former dancer I gotta support her for being a dancer. I always got annoyed a bit in the past when the Queens that can’t dance a flip won. I think dancing should be a basic skill for a Drag Queen honestly. It makes the performance more interesting. Just don’t let the dancing overshadow the performance but more like add to it. Alyssa seems to have that down. She still works the face while dancing. Love it.

    I predict Alyssa might make it to top 3. At least to top 5.

    I kinda liked Honey. She wasn’t top 3 material like I pegged her when the pictures and videos first came out, but she a least had some high points in the competiton like her lip sync video, and her Hollywood Coture outfit, where as Vivene is probally the most BORING queen in the history of the show, Nicole Paige Brooks can now rest easy as she is the 2nd most boring queen.

    Alaska did the best job as Ru’s momma AND Alaska had the best comment – “Chaz Bono came out of Cher’s vagina”.

    @Lee You are soo right about Nichole Paige Brooks and Vivi being so pretty yet sooo boring! lol

    I actually kinda like Honeys video- she is a glamazon for real. too bad she couldn’t bring a bit more personality!

    Alaska was great as Ru’s mom! I am getting kinda bored withJade’s attitude- blah!

    If Honey had portrayed herself on the show the way she portrayed herself in her video she would’ve have stuck around much longer

    The Princess said that they ask them who should go home every single week, just to make sure that the drama is extra heated for Untucked. That explains some things. She was furious at how bad the lip synch was, too.

    Most awesome: “I’ll go polish up her petard so she can foist herself when she’s finished.”

    I was so happy that Ru sent them both home. It was pretty telling when there was zero applause after the lip sync was over. Good on Ru for having the balls to not stick to formatting and keep one of them.

    I was sort of anti-Alaska, but she’s growing on me each week. And as much as I hated Viv…..zzzz I think Roxxxy is being a little overly bitchy.

    I also have to say, and some may call it rasict, but Ms Viv….zzzz was a let down for the Asian drag queens from seasons past. Jujubee and Manilla were superstars, and I had hope that Viv….zzzz would maintain the standard. Ah well. It just makes me love Juju and Manilla more.

    CAN’T WAIT FOR EDITH IN SNATCH GAME!!! Give me a winner Jinxy cat!

    Thanks for the Stuart Smalley references! I just watched Stuart Saves His Family during our snow days and still adore that movie!
