Hello again, Gasmii! Did you enjoy this episode? Or was there maybe a little something missing? Like a bugnut crazy, little Panamian thing that really did pull all the other queens together in their collective and amusing disdain. Or was it just me that kind of found this episode a little disjointed and underwhelming? I don’t know. Child pageant queens and children’s programming really should have been, in the words of Michelle Visage, “Hilair” (And please stop, Michelle. It’s not happening.) but it just didn’t seem to completely hit the mark.
Anyway, they’re still going back into the workroom after judges panel but no one’s sobbing now that Serena’s gone so they barely acknowledge her and go straight into the mini-challenge: to pair up and tart up child-sized dolls into li’l pageant queens. The usual suspects do well while Jinkx is starting to establish herself as the MVP because no matter what team she’s on or who she’s paired with, she’s going to bust her ass to make Ru laugh. And I’ll just admit that drag Andy Samberg is beginning to steal my heart.
So one team wins, and since a team wins, and everyone hates working on teams, they get to be team leaders and play schoolyard pick’em to remind Jade that while everyone hated Serena, no one’s really itching to be her BFF, either. Once in their teams they’re told they’re going to stage a “kidster” program a la “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” where all the little kids who loved it never got all the weird shit and double entendres that was the show’s stock in trade for its adult audience. No team seems to completely get it and it’s really more miss than hit but a few people shine but most don’t.
But the main focus of the episode was “the feud.” And I will never ever again complain ever that I’m not getting the full story behind any queen’s feud because even with Lee giving us the lowdown in the comments back in the premiere I still couldn’t figure out what they were talking about. Or crying about. And I’m going to need a ruling from JMo about whether or not the Miss Gay America pageant would really cause so much drama that it might ruin a marriage or was Coco just being a giant drama queen.
We have a very obvious winner and a fairly obvious loser but a totally surprising queen in the bottom two. By the time the queen had to sashay away even editing got bored with the episode and just smash cut into the opening of Untucked.
To paraphrase Paulina, they broke the first rule of entertainment. They bored me.

The reason Ms. Montrese landed in the bottom two was because Rupaul wanted a show. And watching boring ass Vivienne Pinay lip-synch against Maudlin Monica would be akin to watching paint dry.
Man most of the Queens screwed up this challenge hardcore. I loved Alaska as the stage mom and Lil Pound Cake.
Detox deserved to win. Most of them were total fail. I love all the pink looks though. Roxxxy and Jade’s pink outfits were killer. I predict Roxxxy as our final winner. She seems to get no criticism and all high praise.
I actually thought Roxxy should have won this week.
I liked her character better and her runway look was so amazing.
She’s a cute boy, but I really really love her face in drag. Such perfection.
Lol at Lineysha thinking that she was making a tape for Rosetta Stone, and not for RuPaul’s Drag Race. I can’t believe she literally just translated everything the girls were saying.
And Jinkx is kind shocking me with how good she is. I was afraid she’d be another Tammy Brown, where she’d be all weird in a way that I don’t like, don’t get, and don’t want to get.
But no, she’s actually funny and quirky in a really endearing and cute way.
Someone needs to explain to me how Coco almost lost her marriage because of a pageant.
My only thought about Coco is that she kept bringing the drama home and it frankly, pissed of the husband. Like bitching and complaining about Alyssa all the time. That can get old real fast.
Roxxxy as a boy is totally my type, but Roxxxy as a girl makes me question my sexuality.
I do really enjoy Jinx, my early love of Jade has completely waned and I don’t think I will ever not like Alyssa. Oh, and Alaska’s comment about Chaz in next weeks episode cracks my shiz up.
“Chaz came out of Cher’s va-gi-na.”
Who threw shade and called Alyssa in Uncle Dick drag “Willam?”
ChaosButterfly- you have said all my thoughts exactly.
And I really don’t get people who say Roxxxy is so much cuter in boy form. Just, what? Her face is drag is beat for the Gods!
a drag queen being a drama queen? say it aint so?……and i wonder if they will start to clock roxxy as being too perfect and polished like they tried on chad michaels last year…..i can not believe that roxxy can keep showing them pagent queen on the runway every week and not get clocked
lil pound cake was the star of this whole show! I wish she had done the shows.
It’s hard to come up with double entendre’s on the fly . . . I sympathize . . . too bad they didn’t have a comedian guest judge to mentor them.
I’ve been liking Jinx, and now, liking more.
I don’t like alyssa, but, she seems more self aware, and I’m kind of liking her “Shade” moments. Coco seems guilty, if you as me, and I’m guessing the marriage troubles was coz everyone thought she was in the wrong . . .
Lanesha’s make-up seems too hard to me. she should try a softer look like Vivienne. (who is a pretty but bland Ju-Ju!)
I know how it is when you are trying to do a scene with someone who won’t work with you or give you anything. Honey and Alyssa had my sympathies. In college for my final grade in Spanish communication I had to so a conversation on the fly and the teacher sent me up there with a girl who had already flunked the class mostly and was a little spoiled rich princess. She just sat there only saying Yes or no while I tried to carry the whole conversation myself. I finally just gave up. I can’t talk to myself. It was bullshit.
I have a feeling Ru loves Linesha because she likes that type of statuesque young glamour Queen much like Tyra. I don’t dig them because they have zero charisma or personality.
Roxxxy is amazing! So cute as a boy and total glam as a girl. I think Ivy is adorable as a boy as well, her drag is classy and on point as well.
The coco/alyssa ( who drives me nuts with her open mouth stare) drama is old…it seems that the drag pageant world is hard core..who knew!
Monica was a sweet girl..but not in the same league
Yeah, Coco’s failure was so weird.
Has she never seen a ventriloquist act? The puppets are always the stars and speak to the audience way more than to the actual puppeteer.
They also tend to be rude as fuck.
The whole routine was about spilling the t, so all she had to do was read Honey to filth and that would have been it.
I think she just didn’t want to be the dummy character and shut down, which is disappointing.
this is sort of off topic, but speaking of Pee Wee’s playhouse, When the whole ” Theater” scandal happened, I was only 3, so obvisouly my Mom couldn’t explain the reason why his show was cancelled, so she stoled me his playhouse got stolen, of course I believed it, cut to me like 8 years later, and The E! True Hollywood Story on him comes on, and I kept waiting for the part about his playhouse being stolen. I kept thinking poor guy couldn’t catch a break.
Monica couldn’t get her lines correct even though she had them written down in front of her. And she looked like she was lip syncing ON life support.
That girl is a mess.
Monica reminded me a lot of the drag queens featured in “Paris is Burning”. Hard life and making the most of it. I hope life treats her kindly.
Coco let me down this week. I agree with juddfan with Alyssa seeming more aware. Coco does seem guilty and I think if she would just own up to the fact that they could perhaps become, at the very least, frenemies.
I think Ivy is cute but girl is either not the brightest candle on the cake or she is good at dishing out shade.
Also, I really didn’t mind Alaska playing Billy Bob. I actually thought he was one of the better actors of the challenge.
@ Lee … ha!!!
I don’t know about anyone else, but I would KILL to see Jinx do an impression of Paulette (the manicurist from Legally Blonde). That would make my life, I think she’d serve me up some Jennifer Coolidge realness.
I loved Detox and Roxxy’s interactions on Untucked, they were cracking me up with their love for each other. So cute! Does anyone else watch these shows and desperately want to be friends with the queens?
Drag Race is by far the best show on television.
