Curtain call mostly features Alaska hovering over Roxxxy to remind us how well Alaska did despite having zero dancing talent whatsoever and how mediocre Roxxxy was, because she is getting a bit full of herself.

Since production didn’t seem to care about the runway this week, here are the high and lowlights.

Seriously. WTF, Vivi…zzzz?

I love Ivy’s, thinks Detox looks gorgeous even with the blue lips, and I just can’t resist a queen in a tiny hat.

Like last week, they competed in teams but are being judged as individuals. Ru calls out Jinkx, Ivy, Alyssa, Vivi…zzzz, Roxxxy and Honey. They’re the best and worst. Jinkx gets critiqued first. Michelle isn’t too thrilled with the runway look and goes to her old saw, asking Jinkx to bring some “glamour.” But Santino and Travis really like Jinkx’s performance as young Ru.

Next up, Ivyyyyy Winterrrrs. Chaz loves the outfit because he’s a huge Victor/Victoria fan and Michelle informs us that Ivy makes all her costumes. Bitch, get OUT. They’re amazing. Michelle thinks Ivy’s “mind-blowingly” talented and was a lot of fun as Bunny. Santino signs his death warrant when he critiques Ivy as being “a little too skinny and a little too pretty” to be Bunny.

OOooOOOOoooOh!

Roxxxy gets called out by Santino for her sub-par runway look while Chaz reminds us all of his rather ungainly turn on Dancing with the Stars. He suggests that Roxxxy needs to make up for her weak dancing by bringing the attitude but she didn’t. Vivi…zzzz smiles because she’s deluded.

So next up? Vivi…zzzz. Michelle calls her pedestrian, Santino damns her with the phrase “low key,” and Travis, trying to find the silver lining, says she’s one of the most beautiful queens he’s ever seen, which jokingly gets Ru’s back up, but brings it back down to Vivi…zzz being forgettable. Wah waaah.

Chaz tells Honey that she looks like she’d have a lovely body but who can tell in that tent? Michelle Jerseys it up and just asks what’s up with all the caftans. Oh, and her Diana Ross blew. Honey tries to defend herself that she’d never done Diana before and Michelle shoots back CLEARLY. Hehe.

SHABLAM!

Finally, Alyssa. Michelle thinks her look is “ridonkulous” in the very best way and was impressed by Alyssa’s grand jeté while Santino says she really embodied the evil Ru, but isn’t sure if the evil Ru lost. Ru gleefully says no, the evil didn’t lose. Hehe. Travis becomes Alyssa’s guidance counselor and tells her if she keeps up her confidence she’ll go far in the competition. He really is just the living embodiment of the word “adorable.”

    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!
