Jinkx tries to be all fair and says they should read the script before assigning roles, but admits in interview that she’s feeling the pressure of being team leader because she pushed through last week and doesn’t want to slide back. She’s pretty smart about assigning the roles and gives Lineysha Diana Ross (okay) while Ivy is Lady Bunny, which is perfect since Ivy has made some costumes for Lady Bunny and Jinkx is “genderfuck drag Ru.” Alaska gets assigned Ru’s mom because it’s a straight up comic relief role, but it also starts off the “ballet,” making  Alaska’s get all squirrelly about not being a dancer. Jinkx assumes she can krump dance (HAHAHAHA) AND shows a quick, goofy dance move but Alaska just flaps her arms. Tragic.

It’s like watching Baryshnikov

Queens are in full work mode as Coco recaps the challenge then reminds us that she picked Alyssa because that storyline will never get old. Coco’s team is divvying up the parts and their section features a good v. bad Ru. Coco thinks she and Alyssa should do that section. In interview it is suggested that Alyssa sees through Coco’s little game but whatever.

Moving on, Coco assigns Drag Race Ru to Roxxxy who suggests Vivi…zzzz as the generic winner because, let’s face it, the winner is and shall always be RuPaul. Vivienne weakly agrees then whines in interview that, once again, she’s working with Roxxxy. Coco discusses how to get Vivi…zzzz done up but Ivy reminds Coco they can’t make her outshine Ru. Roxxxy drops an anvil when she “jokingly” says that’s not going to happen. Vivi…zzzz drops her own anvil when she informs us that her team is underestimating her. HAHAHAHA.

Hello, hello, hello….HEL-LO! This week’s all about Ru so he brings in an extra hello! Then he makes a Chorus Line joke that no one gets. Kids. Ru starts with Team Jinkx to find out who’s playing what. As we already know, Ivy’s Lady Bunny, Alaska is Ru’s mother, Ernestine…and can we just appreciate his mama for a minute?

Is he her clone? Alaska’s thrilled to be mama while Ru is amused. As we move through the years with Ru, Jade will be playing him as a child while Jinkx will be the 21-year-old Ru. Ru asks who’s playing Diana Ross, even though Lineysha’s the only one left, then asks the little Puerto Rican cupcake if she’s familiar with Miss Ross. Lineysha manages to put down the bong long enough to say no but misses the gong sound, suggesting that this might be a problem.

Ru unsuccessfully tries to recruit Ivy into telling a Lady Bunny fat joke then moves on to Alaska playing his mother. He wants to know what Alaska’s using as inspiration and she says that the voice over says Ernestine had a mouth like a sailor, and Ru informs us that yes, she did, and that her favorite expression was, and I quote, “You pussy-mouthed motherfucker.” But she looks so kindly in that photo. Alaska lets us know in interview that she’s going to try to portray this force of nature…mostly through a Mommie Dearest face.

A face only a ghoul could love.

    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!
