The consensus of EVERYONE in the audience was that they were both so lackluster that neither should get a pass for that performance, but if one had to stay I figured it was Honey because at least she tried something. But what did Ru think?

She agreed with the audience and is sending them both home. GONG! Honey’s truly surprised while Vivi…zzzz is trying to shoot death rays and Ru tells them that since neither showed her the fire it takes to win the competition she doesn’t see any reason to keep either. Roxxxy informs us that never before in RPDR history has there been a double-elimination while Vivi…zzzz is deluded to the end and bitterly jokes that “Double elimination? Of course it is. Why not?” Like she’d have stayed if it wasn’t.

Don’t make those faces, ladies.  They’ll stay that way.

Honey takes the elimination with grace and says she knows she has talent and can be a performer and if she could do anything different she wouldn’t wear that caftan. Then jokes that she should hire a stylist. Vivi…zzzz, still deluded, informs us that she’s still beautiful and no one can take that away (except time and your hairline, Viv…zzzz.) and she’ll always and forever be the fishiest queen because she never got a good look at Carmen before she started transitioning.

By the way, Honey released her requisite “single” and it’s not bad.

 

Correction. It’s a goofy dance song, like most songs the queens release, but she looks gorgeous and is a decent singer. The whole thing has an early 90s dance video vibe to it plus she got a couple of Drag Race alums. Good luck, Honey.

But on Untucked…eh. The safe queens head back and after a brief interlude of Alaska and Detox worrying for Roxxxy (It’s the curse of Rolaskatox, y’all.) they land on Honey. Smelling blood in the water they all shit talk how everything she wears looks the same which leads to…Alaska and her half-assed outfit. Alaska is much more used to talking behind peoples backs and doesn’t get this whole “confrontation” thing. Thrown, she  just sneers out “Very ruuude, I would say,” then talks behind Coco’s back saying she looked like she just slid down the bar at Hamburger Mary’s and had a few too many tequila shooters.

But it’s a good look.

Ru interrupts to send them to the Gold Bar. Alaska’s excited because she’s never been a part of one of the Big Pink Furry Box surprises. She reads the clue about dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight and Coco figures it’s her because she danced with Alyssa. Which makes no sense.

No, it’s Sharon. She made an awkward, sweet, only slightly narcissistic video for Alaska and learned the hard way that some jokes only work once. Alaska gets all sincere in interview and tells us that they have a crazy love that works and she didn’t think it would happen to her but they’re soulmates. She tells the rest of the queens that she thinks about Sharon all the time and is just so blissed out. Detox jokes that it’s “gross.” Then corrects to “sickening” while rubbing Alaska’s knee. More this less Rolaskatox.

    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!
