Hello, again, and welcome back to Drag U. Since the queens had to make over boxers last week it only seems fitting that this week they’re making over big girls. As always, Ru needs three queens to help in the transformation but can we first talk about Chad’s wig:

That’s a lot of work for a style that was barely seen. That’s why Chad is PRO-FES-SION-AL! But Chad’s also not on this episode, so let’s get back to business. Ru needs the professors to show the women how to super size their fabulosity, over a shot of Delta taking it all very seriously (heh), and sass up their everyday drag. So let’s see who they are.

Amber used to be bubbly but then she gained weight she’s become a hermit and wants Drag U to help her get her confidence and sparkle back.

Mary’s gained 50 pounds in the last year and is upset that she may never be the old her again. She wants Drag U to help her accept the new her.

Sinead’s a “nanny” who spends her days covered in baby food and vomit (nanny, hooker…sometimes they blend) and her nights alone because she’s insecure about her weight and wants Drag U to help her “embrace her curves” and become the sexy new her.

Now, using my highly scientific formula since no one stood out as the obvious choice, I decided “thinnest” was always the tiebreaker and chose Sinead as the winner since she’s smaller than several women who’ve been on the non “big girl” episodes. But nice “PTOWN” sweatshirt.

Ru comes in, still wearing that tone-on-tone, shiny, striped suit and the women are all a little giddy. He makes a bunch of weight puns about going on a strict diet of fierceness, glam realness and working out…on the runway. Heeeey! But as in life, someone always wins for completely arbitrary reasons and still gets a prize package of stage makeup, gift card, and a cash prize of $3,166.97 so if you’re willing to do whatever it takes to be the baddest bitch in school walk this way!

Over in the Drag Lab after Ru compares it to Big Ang (What did the Drag Lab do to Ru?) and Sinead coos over it, talking about the wonderful girlie things and it’s time to meet the professors.

Nice guns, Pandy.

I mentioned it in the minicap, but it kind of bears repeating. I get why people love Pandora (I was always a Jujubee/Jessica Wild fan myself) but Santino was not wrong for criticizing her drag looks. This looks slapped together compared to Sharon’s “Satan’s secretary” costume or Raja’s…Rajaness, because being able to confidently swan around while wearing a crochet halter dress, $5 pink garment district earrings and cotton candy wig with knitting needles stuck in it is a gift. Not a marketable one, but a gift all the same.

    Great recap as usual Vallegirl!

    I get what your saying about Pandora; I J’dored her on season 2 of RPDR but lately it seems like she’s trying too hard to be the funny queen. I hope this trend doesn’t continue into the AllStar season…

    Sinead was absolutely insufferable. I liked her at first, but as soon as she stepped out onto the runway, any goodwill I had towards her instantly left.
    Like…oh my god, I don’t even have words.
    At the end, when Ru was doing his final speech about driving shit down sorority row, I wanted to reach into my screen and strangle her because of her stupid faces. I can somewhat understand what would drive her to be such an annoying ass on the runway, but at that point, the competition was over and she won. She should have just been normal. Her nails were banging though.

    Adam was cute as hell…I like Candis and Jamal too, but Adam needs to be the dean of dance every week forever and ever amen. His butt was so perfectly round. I need to locate a straight version.
    The “makeup” “expert” was also more adorable than past “experts”, except for Rami.

    I wish Geneva was my brother. I want to shop with him and I also want him to help me bedazzle my clothes.
    Why does my brother have to be this way? :(

    I loved how the “makeup” “expert” sounded like he didn’t understand a word he said. “Shit, what was my line again?”

    Totes with ya on “whatever” Sinead, Chaos . . . ugh!!! I did think she was the ringer, but Amber’s make up was so incredible . . . Jennifer Hudson, am I right? Didn’t love the pink wig on Geneva, but loved hu! I wonder if she’s tried out for Drag race.

    Valle, look at you, pulling out Mimi Imfurst . . . hee . . . I had to think about that for a few to figure it out. Sinead was much worse, probably the worst, and it’s a shame, as there was potential for her to be funny, too much too often too open wound . . . I do wonder if they know who’s going to win before everything takes off.

    I wish none of these chicks would ever complain about the shoes ever again . . . so boring . . .

    For my one stint in drag, the very pro queen who was doing our make-up did that to my eyebrows . . . Frikkin ridonk . . . sigh . . . I do not make a pretty grrl.
