Queens go back to untuck in the Interior Illusions Lounge so the judges can dish. First up Coco and Ruth Pointer cracks me up when she says, and I quote, “Child, that highlighter was higher and lighter than I’ve seen in many a time.” LaToya just thinks she’s unfocused and will get taken over by the stronger competitors. Look at her being all smart and lucid.

Moving on to Alyssa, and while Santino liked her look, Ru brings up her weird walk where she points to where she’s going. I suddenly remember why I liked Santino on Project Runway (DON’T YOU JUDGE ME!) when he mocks it by pointing around the room. Heh. It wasn’t quite “Where’s Andrae?” but it’ll do. Talk turns to her weak singing and while Ru tries to say Alyssa’s not a strong singer she channels me and tells the panel DON’T JUDGE ME! DON’T JUDGE ME! (I got it from My Name is Earl.) and everyone laughs. But they give Alyssa points for at least going for something instead of giving up.

There’s Andrae!

Speaking of, Jade! Ru’s with Michelle on WTF is that outfit while the Pointer Sisters can’t even remember her singing. Moving on to Ivy and not a bad word to be heard. She looked gorgeous she sounded great and Anita Pointer is pleasantly surprised she can sing. Jinkx, eh, Michelle hated her runway but Michelle always does. Santino and LaToya loved her singing, so whatever Michelle.

Roxxxy Andrews. Ruth thinks she’s hot and she’s Michelle’s pet so moving on to Detox. Michelle thinks she phoned it in but Ruth said as soon as she saw the back of the dress…she forgot everything else. And I posted the photographic evidence above. Michelle rips into Alaska for doing the same thing every week and is bored, but LaToya brutally says maybe Alaska’s shown all she has because they’re getting deep into the season and the competition is getting hard. Damn, gurr. But si-LENCE! Ru’s made her decision so bring back her girls…and can she get an “Amen?” The panel starts singing along and this was a really fun bunch. Bitchy and brutal, sure, but loads of fun.

Can I get a GAY MAN!?!

Queens are back and Ru goes straight into announcing the winner – Ivyyy Winterrrs. She wins some rinky dink little travel pack but she doesn’t care. It really was the win that counted. Jinkx and Roxxxy are also called safe. Detox is safe as well…but…and it’s a big but (HAR HAR) they expect more from her. Detox takes it well and I agree that separately I like Detox and don’t mind Roxxxy but together they bring out the worst in each other.

I WIN! I WIN! I WIN!

Alaska gets called out for resting on kooky but is also safe, leaving Coco, Alyssa and Jade. Coco looked and acted the fool. She’s up for elimination. Alyssa proved that as a singer she’s an amazing dancer and Jade let the other queens outshine her. So who’s up for elimination? Jade.

    Bye, bye, Jade. On to better things, like starring in the Jodi Arias story. She’d be perfect in that role.

    Did anyone else notice Jinxx yawning on the runway? I thought I saw her do it and Michelle made a WTF face. I waited for her to call Jinxx out on it, but it never happened. I am sure it was because of her narcolepsy so it was not something she could help. So I would just overlook it as a judge. Wondered if I hallucinated it.

    @april-i noticed that, too, along with michelle’s reaction. my thought was that it was on purpose, because she was playing ‘rich bitch’, and it coincided with her saying she’s just so over it-something to that affect. but i did think michelle was going to call jinx out on it.

    after jinx, alyssa is my fave. at least she’s self aware and doesn’t pout, and i love her crazy face and expressions (both facial and verbal). i think she was willing to play this whole fued with coco thing for camp and laughs (like when she was teasing coco about her make-up), but coco is so far up her own butt, she takes everything so seriously. i hope she’s next to go.

    @juddfan – my DVR didn’t tape it either. I had to watch it on LOGO online.

    I knew Jade would get sent home soon, she just always coasted along in the middle. BUT her lipsync was one of the most surprising things I’ve seen on the show in a while. Girl was GOOD. I’m sure as a performer, she’ll do well. Plus, as much as I hated her attitude, she’s gorgeous.
    Coco is annoying the shit out of me, Alyssa (as much as she can annoy me to) was trying so hard to make things work and Coco was having none of it. Come onnnnnnn.

    I didn’t like Jinkx’s runway at all. I get what she was going for, but her makeup was almost as bad as last week, the outfit and wig were not high-glamour, at least not the kind that Michelle is looking for, and I really didn’t like her yawning.
    I know why she did it, but still…it just wasn’t the right thing at the time.
    I wish she would make good friends with Ivy and get some makeup tips.
    Remember how tragic PhiPhi looked at the beginning of the season last year? By the end, she looked so much better all around, because she got help from Kenya Michaels with her makeup.

    My only irritation with Alaska is that I don’t see her trying enough. I think part of why she makes everything into a joke or just plain gives up is because she’s afraid to put everything into it and end up looking foolish (which is ridiculous because she’s a freaking drag queen), or failing. The only exception I can think of is the ballet challenge. And I guess she took a risk on the kid show challenge too, even though it didn’t pay off.
    But generally, she doesn’t put herself out there enough, especially in the mini-challenges. I know that they aren’t as important as elimination challenges, but they matter because they are still an opportunity to show Ru who you are and what you can do. She really should be less self-conscious and relax.

    I’m glad that Jade went home because she’s beautiful but lame. But I was also very pleasantly surprised by how good her lipsync was. Coco is an excellent lipsyncer and given her age, I think she just had a much better connection to it, so I didn’t expect Jade to actually stay, but it was far from the blowout that I expected.

    I would agree with Vallegirl that Rotox brings out the worst in each other. They are much better peopl when not paired off together. Or at least Detox is.

    Coco needs to go. As much as Jade had been coasting, I was honestly a little surprised she went home. This was Coco’s second time in the bottom, Jade’s first. And Coco has had some serious attitude issues, that she has been called out for on the runway, a couple of times. Unacceptable behavior. She’s gosta go soon!

    Every week, I love Jinkx more. She’s such a doll. I get the “glamor” that she’s trying to portray. She needs to understand that what Michelle is looking for, is MODERN glamor, not vintage. While I think her vintage glamor is beautiful, it’s not what the judges are asking of her.

    I have to wonder if Alaska being on this show so soon after Sharon winning was a mistake. It seems that she is comparing herself to Sharon inside her own head. She might have done better on a later show.

    Jade is truly a beautiful queen and I hope she goes far in her career.

    Now I wasn’t a Jinx fan at the beginning but damn I love that girl.

    Can’t wait for the new episode! I already saw the first 10 minute preview and Reading is FUNDAMENTAL dahlings!

    This could be Alaska’s challenge to win because she can be pretty funny.
