The top and bottom queens go back to the lounge and Honey starts off by telling everyone who picked her that she has no hard feelings. They were put on the spot and had to pick someone. Needle scratch takes us to Vivi…zzzz who bitches about something being annoying and telling whomever to shut the fuck up. It could have been at any point in the competition, because I’m sure that was the sum total of Vivi…zzzz’s interviews but I’ll bite and believe she said it about Honey.

You’re (almost) good enough.
You’re (kinda) smart enough.
And some people like you.

Back in the lounge, though, she’s defending her honor by piggy-backing on Alyssa calling out Jade. This provides them with a bonding moment and they all dogpile on Jade because she’s a huffy puffy pouty princess. Called it.

Enough about Jade, though. Time to play “That doesn’t make any sense,” with Honey. Alyssa and Roxxxy start in on how she’s not wearing her “best drag” and Honey very correctly points out the flaw in the logic of always dressing like it’s your last challenge early in the competition because…you don’t have that many “best drag” looks. Bitch, stop trying to apply real-world logic to reality TV clichés. Alyssa’s pulling her Miss Jane Hathaway faces so Honey explains that in San Francisco…the look isn’t that important. Alyssa tries to muster up some umbrage but it’s not really working so let’s go back to shit-talking Jade.

Alyssa does not approve this message.

She’s the Debbie Downer of the competition. We flashback to Honey the Social Worker defending Jade, telling Roxxxy that Jade’s been tired. Roxxxy’s not a social worker and thinks that’s bullshit. Then the most damning testimony of all: Even Jinkx is kind of over what a high maintenance queen Jade is. Turns out Jinkx is Jade’s other BFF and she had to coax Jade out of her self-pity and explain why she didn’t pick her sooner (letting Coco choose her) just to get her into the challenge.

The safe queens come back into the Silver Lounge and Alaska jovially asks what happened? Alyssa drama queens (NO!) that the “Kraken” is…Ru asked who should go home and she’s going to be honest – she called out Jade. Poor Jinkx just wants to drink and find out who won and now this.

Alyssa tries to explain everything she said but Jade’s working the righteous indignation/wounded martyr angle. Roxxxy for her part doesn’t give a shit if Jade’s performance is good or bad, she’s just tired of all the moping. Roxxxy tries to point out that she needs to stop being such a sensitive little pain in the ass but Shady Jade goes 12th level “I’m rubber you’re glue,” and throws what Roxxxy says back at her with nothing to back it up, like the middle school mean girl she aims to be.

Come back when you have on your big girl lashes, son.

    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!
