Welcome, Gasmii, to the final four of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Same as it was two weeks ago. None of them are too sad to see Kenya go, again, have a good laugh at mocking her accent and are generally bored because there are only four of them left, one being Phi Phi. Luckily, it’s time for SheMail. Ru makes a bunch of dog references which befuddles the queens.

But first! Ru’s here for the mini challenge and it’s a good old bitchfest…with puppets! The queens will each pull a puppet representing another queen from a big, black hole then they’ll have 20 minutes to drag it out, and then each queen will have a bitchfest with her puppet. And these queens have been cooped up with each other for a month, so this should be good.

Sharon draws first and gets Chad, Latrice draws next and gets Sharon, Chad is third and pulls Phi Phi which leaves Phi Phi with Latrice. Each queen does a pretty good job with the puppet, although Latrice and Phi Phi do fairly superficial jobs with theirs while Sharon cuts off the puppet’s nose and makes it look like a burn victim and Chad…oh, Chad. You bitch. LOVE!

Other than Latrice, the bitchfests were funny and on point. Sharon does a good Chad as Cher impersonation, Phi Phi is actually funny in making fun of Latrice if not channeling her and Chad…oh, Chad. You bitch. She may be sweet and polished and lovely but she’s got some bite, and it was fantastic watching Phi Phi’s head nearly explode.

Main challenge is the annual final four ball. This year’s theme: Bitch Ball. Queens will have to put together three looks with dog themes, so it’s “Daytime Dog Park” realness, “Pooch in a Purse” party girl and ‘Canine Couture” complete with an actual dog for an accessory. Mini challenge winner assigns the dogs and they are as follows: Chad gets the Chinese-Crested, Latrice gets the Pomeranian, Phi Phi gets the bloodhound and Sharon gets the Standard Poodle.

Even though Phi Phi’s a scorching, oozing, festering bitch about it, but then Phi Phi’s awake so nothing new, there isn’t a lot of drama in the workroom, so Ru throws them the curveball of having to choreograph a Broadway-style routine to open the show. This opens a brand new door for Phi Phi stank, and Phi Phi never passes up a chance to show new ways to be an awful human being.

As for the ball…the performance was cute enough and the editors managed to include more than 2 ½ seconds so we can see how each queen performs. Once they got to the runway, though, one was clearly the winner, one was clearly the loser and that’s all I’ve got to say because I don’t want to spoil it and there is no way to respond to the results that won’t give it away. I will say, though, that mid-tempo, contemporary country is not a lip-synching drag queen’s best friend.

But then, gurr, Untucked. And I know there’s a whole lot of editing going on and editors can make saints look like sinners by cutting and pasting and gluing Frankenbites together, but editing can’t make my TV vibrate with Phi Phi’s rage. She needs to take those vacations she won and just get drunk and stupid for a month because no one should be that angry for no reason.

Full recap in a few days. Until then, you can catch up on the last recap here.

    Won’t say much because it would be too easy to give things away, but I will say that I LOVED Chad’s snaggle-toothed puppet with a burning love equal to a thousand suns!! And Pee Pee’s reaction: “First of all, my snaggle tooth is not that big (is too) and second of all, that puppet looks nothing like me.” Judge for yourselves in the above pic, Gasmii! Can’t wait for the recap!

    I’m not going to say anything because I don’t want to cause a spoiler but there was an Untucked?! My tv went straight to the NNN awards and I was disappointed. I’m going to have to go find it now.

    Also, how is it that PhiPhi get’s more and more hateful each week?

    The Untucked came on after the NNN Awards. They did that last season, too, but after the judging session went pear-shaped I waited for it. Get thee to the Logo site pronto and watch. It’s rather epic.

    A cruise!

    Oh vallegirl … when I read your third to the last paragraph re: PhiPhi my firts thought was, I know she (meaning you) watched the Untucked episode. PhiPhi was truly awful. I used to be upset/disgusted with her attitude, now I just feel sad and sorry for her. Anyone with that much self-delusion and hatred spewing from the tips of her toes to the top of her head is truly someone to be pitied.

    I LOVED Chad’s puppet bitching. I replayed that a bunch of times. Hee!

    Even PhiPhi made me laugh with her puppet ending. Heh

    I can’t say anymore about the show or I’ll get emotional. I actually teared up. The Queen who left … her speech … *sob*!

    They have already made the Glamazon video and it is really cute. It had all of the judges for the season in it and a few of the past eliminated queens.

    When Wynonna Judd came out as one of the judges, my first thought was why is Jeana (former OC housewife) there?

    My first thought was: “How did that water buffalo escape the zoo without anyone noticing? And how did it purchase clothing?”

    I have to say I am actually speechless with the behavior that went on. Vile. Vile. Vile.

    My mom saw her come out and asked if she was a Drag Queen too! I broke down in giggles.

    Ok, I have a question. Was it editing wonkiness that happened with the Untucked guest? Or were they really ignoring their Peek-aRu for that long? B/c that was hilarious and sad at the same time. My favorite part of either the episode or Untucked, though, was the subtitling that took place with the dogs. LOVED it!

    Chad’s puppet of Pee was awesome. Oh Chad, love. LOVE.

    subtitled dogs on Untucked cracked me up – a much needed laugh after all the bile spewed by Pee.

    Ha~! Lemons … I need lemons. Hee! I forgot about that. The doggy dialogs were awesome too! I died w/ the “Your tone seems really pointed right now.” HA!

    In all honesty, I think they probably didn’t tell the girls that Dita was there b/c they wanted to keep filming the heated discussion w/o interruptions. I sincerely doubt that Chad the PRO-FESH-UN-ALL would ever EVER be anything but that and would have definitely made sure they complied with a gold room summoning. The producers probably edited in the Peek-a-Ru later. JMO

    If you don’t normally watch Untucked I really suggest you watch this one! Funny funny funny little vignette with the dogs worth watching and lots of fighting and a guest celebrity left stood up in the Gold Lounge and even them ignoring Rupaul! Watch it!

    I am okay with who sashayed away this week. I would have rather someone else left instead but my two favs are in the top 3 and so I feel good about it. I want one of them to win. Can’t wait for the finale girls! Also the reunion so we can find out about our fav rule breaker Willam!!!

    I also thought all the puppet acts were so hilarious! I actually liked PhiPhi’s the best because of the ending. I was dying laughing!

    I loved the judges outfits today. Rose, Dita and Rupaul were totally stylin.

    I really want all the cool drag gowns Rupaul has. Every time someone wins a custom sequin gown for Sequin Queens that they give as a prize sometimes, I get very jealous!!! I want a custom sequin gown dammit!!!

    We need the full recap so we can really get into this discussion. I feel someone gave up this week and started to turn on their friend basically because they were probably intimidated by them now that they’re down to the wire. PeePee is just a hateful, horrid, nasty bitch. You can only get so angry and interrupt someone when you KNOW they’re right about you. The truth really hurts….especially when you’re a terrible person with a black heart. And no amount of editing can be the reason behind PeePee’s awful ‘tude. That’s like saying Jill Zarin really isn’t a immature sea hunt, it’s just the editing…

    Those dogs cracked me UP. “Bitch! I am from Chicago!”…”Your tone seems pointed right now.” Two of my favorite lines EVAH. Aaahh, I miss Willam and her super-duper wit. She and Sharon are the tops!

    I thought she looked at Chad so hungrily and was hoping that there really was a vagina there and not a “hot dog” made with a dick and balls.

    Watched the show at the official Absolut Chicago RPDR party location and the entire bar stood up and cheered at “Bitch! I am from Chicago!” Everyone also “awwwwww”ed every time the Pomeranian was shown and booed whenever Phi was on screen. For the record, this was in “her” bar.

    I teared up too! I hated seeing her go. And on “Untucked”, the queens totally forgot about the big pink box surprise. That sucked! I totally wanted to see what the surprise would’ve had in store for them had they not been so into what was going on.
