Hola, Gasmii! It’s another Monday night which means…another episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race. And if I’m being completely honest, this wasn’t my favorite. It wasn’t bad, at least until we got to Untucked and remembered, “Oh hell yes. Coco sucks so bad she makes me cry,” but it wasn’t good. It just kind of was.
But first things first. Mini challenge. Pit crew comes into the room almost wearing full pants and I’m perplexed until another 20 hot, young guys come in behind them. The dolls are properly flustered by the parade of man flesh, but not your sleuthing recapper. No, I was playing “spot the reality show whores” in the segment and I counted two. Yes, I said TWO and if anyone can name them both you get to be my BFF for the week.
Challenge is the classic children’s matching memory game, only instead of cards with pictures of bananas the queens have to match men’s underwear stuffed with bananas. As an aside, can we discuss Shawn’s pants:
I don’t want to sound ungrateful or anything, but he does realize his waist is about 8″ higher, right? Just checking because I always feel I know way too much about his grooming habits. Anyway, winning queen gets to call home and it’s all very sweet because it’s always very sweet.
Main challenge sees the queens creating their own signature fragrance. They have to mix the scent, design the packaging and marketing and shoot a commercial. Michelle Visage will be one of the directors while some Gollum-looking creature with saggy implants (?), too much bronzer and a synthetic wig named Aubrey O’Day takes some time off from competing in this year’s Fug March Madness to be her co-director. All of the commercials seem tragic and cheap, though, so maybe that’s why Aubrey’s there.
Runway and we finally get to see the commercials. Some are still tragic but others are quite good and one queen pretty much steals it by actually having a plan that she followed through from beginning through the runway. So two more queens lip synch and one goes home and it’s all very sad but also very boring.
Until Untucked when the wonders of Coco’s awfulness discover hidden depths of seething rage, jealousy and delusion.
Full recap in a few days. Until then, you can catch up on the last recap here.

I liked this episode actually because Alaska shined and she is my favorite! I also was squeeing about the budding romance between two of our favorite queens! I will totally go to their gay wedding because you know girl would be rocking the coolest custom made wedding gown ever! I heart them both and wish them happiness and hope it works out.
I was glad Detox stuck up for Jinxx in Untucked because I would have said the same thing. Coco sucks. She is such a bitch and then gets mad when someone calls her on it. Either own it or just keep your mouth shut.
I love the quote about who is the winner? Every straight woman and gay man in America! I sure enjoyed it. Yum. I told my hubby to buy some of those undies because they make a package look huge. So he looked at them online and said they sold buttless undies. LOL! No wonder they sponsor Drag Race.
This still is my favorite show on television right now. And you guys know I watch a lot of tv. Can’t wait for the full recap!
Alyssa is so hilariously clueless sometimes and I love it. The quote about the truth is Alyssa and a mirror takes 4 hours is so true. She is very good at the LSFYL. She works it.
“All of the commercials seem tragic and cheap, though, so maybe that’s why Aubrey’s there.” aaaand, I just died laughing from that. Also, she seemed a little scared of the queens and was really nasty to them, especially for being such a hot mess herself.
CoCo and Roxxxy are insecure nasty girls and need to go home. Also, Roxxxy, I saw you hugging that pillow in Untucked! If you’re uncomfortable with the tummy, maybe don’t put it in a glitter pink bodysuit. Just sayin. Another thing, Miss Roxxxy. If you are so sure that you absolutely and truly won last week’s LSFYL, why on earth did you pull that crying stunt on the runway? B/c you didn’t win and you know it. It was close, and you got scared. That, my dear “wasn’t confusing. It was unprofessional.”
Alaska and Detox gave me LIFE, and Jinkx was wonderful as always. Alyssa is like Cher Horowitz to me. Gorgeous, unintentionally hilarious, and ultimately completely clueless. 2013 businesswoman realness? Girl, that was Designing Women by way of Dynasty and you know it. Also, I wish I could wear Alaska’s outfit. She looked GORGEOUS in that runway wig.
OrangeBrey was nothing but a straight up glaring BITCH, and she does not have NEARLY the pedigree to back it up, I think even Michelle was over her nastiness. I agree with you, vallegirl, this was a meh-pisode that only served to further damage Coco’s image (the pink-box histrionics could not wash that away, either). And as for Roxxxy, well, two steps forward, two steps back… can’t wait for the full recap!
love, J-Mo
Yay Alaska!! She stepped it up and her dry humor won it for her this time! I don’t know what I would do with myself if it was a Jinx/Alaska finale! too much! Alyssa is adorable. Coco needs to go!
The Jinx/Ivy stuff was so sweet.
Those boy-panties are delightful! That was A LOT of mancandy ! I think sean?, is that his name, the pit crew with the stache, is adorable! Those undies are like wonderbra for junk – its only fair that boys can pad a bit
Aubrey is such a nasty person.
When two of the most selfish and egotistical pigs ever born (P.Diddy and Donald Trump) agree that you’re doing a little bit too much, it’s really time to sit down and re-evaluate your life.
Every week, I’m more stunned by how delusional and jealously bitter Coco is.
I’m so glad that the other girls are more and more willing to call her on her shit. And then after she’s so mean and rude to people on the show, she goes into confessional with those damn contacts, looking like a black White Walker, and starts blabbing about how she’s the nicest person ever and will give you the shirt off her back and blah blah blah. Nobody ever needs to take the shirt off Coco’s back…she’ll fill it with smallpox and when you ask her how it got there, she’s gonna act like she doesn’t even know what smallpox is.
Such a ratchet-ass fake bitch.
Roxxxy needs to have an entire stadium of seats….she didn’t win that LSFYL and she knew it.
All she did was reveal her wig and fling her head around. And she wasn’t lip synching the actual words either, so she needs to cease and desist with the hateration.
Coco – STFU.
Who the Hell is Aubrey O’Day and why did she think she had license to meaninglessly attack our girls? Her criticisms didn’t make any sense at all. Had she never watched the show before? She was calling them out for things she was guilty of, such as those wacko blinkless eyes.
Now, as for Coco. BE GONE! I can’t take her anymore. I’m sick of her hideous, scary makeup, tacky runway outfits and general lack of talent. She’s the type of person that thrives on feuds and confrontations, and always will until she realizes that SHE might be part of the problem. Honey, don’t you ever really look in that big mirror when you’re beatin’ your face with that burnt-orange-and-mustard greasepaint?
Alyssa and Coco in better days (I hope this is accessible):
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=306167712843873&set=a.256469404480371.60560.194207457373233&type=1&theater
I only really know Aubrey O’Day from last season’s Celebrity Apprentice. She was the known bitch next to Lisa Lampenelli that season and got into it with Arsenio. Basically just a reality tv person. She was on P.Diddy’s show where he created a girl group and she won and was in that group for a while. Then I think he fired her or something like that. Now she does reality shows.
@Chaos! Omg, I LOST it at “looking like a black White Walker.”
That made my week. Will be heading over to nominate your comment if someone doesn’t beat me to it.
Agreed on Coco . . . how dare she!!! Jinx was looking so adorable, and her explanation about trying was so dear, including her feelings for Ivy. Did that ever come out, damn DVR keeps cutting off my endings on Untucked.
Those boys definitely looked stuffed. Sean is way hotter with hair . . . IMHO, great hip bones which I find super sexy. One of those boys, I think in red, was drrrrty!
and Roxxxy . . . um, you are one of the queens making it still seven, so to go on complaining about it in such a privileged manner, when you should be thankful to still be there, speaks volumes about you!!!
I’m glad Detox was defending Jinx, but I’m still not a huge fan. If she wants to don a veil, next time make sure it doesn’t make creases from the point of her nose…I couldn’t tell what was happening . . .
I appreciated the funny perfume commercials, and would like to smell, Red for Filth!
I did think Heroine was the best name . . .
Alaska’s runway was serving Saffron Sprackling/Shirley Manson realness, and I loved it. I still wish she’d step further out of that bodycon-dress silhouette and go for something truly batshit. Also, did anyone else get the vibe that Detox was aping Sharon’s inaugural ballgown just a bit? For as much as Coco and Detox have talked shit that Alaska was a second-rate version of Sharon, at least she hasn’t worn clothing that were eerily similar to Sharon’s award-winning drag.
Would someone please let Joan Rivers see what Bobo Montrese wore for the challenge this week? She looked like a short, coked-out Bebe Zahara Benet impersonator, and Fashion Police could milk a whole season of Bitch Stole My Look with her.
After this week I think it’s a real shame that being a nice person like Ivy doesn’t make for good TV unless you’re really funny or bullied, so you end up looking like you have no personality.
I also think though, after the amount of fuss made about a certain relationship before the season premiered, we might see this week’s eliminated queen back again in the 4th Annual RPDR ‘Who Sashayed Away Too Soon?’ Event…
@chaos FTW: “Nobody ever needs to take the shirt off Coco’s back…she’ll fill it with smallpox and when you ask her how it got there, she’s gonna act like she doesn’t even know what smallpox is.” Bwahahahah! Perfection!!
I am beginning to loathe Coco and I really don’t like to loathe a drag queen considering so many people give them grief for who they are, but in this case it is for what she does. Jinkx was soooooo sad when she was getting attacked – you could tell it really ripped her heart. I can only imagine that she was reverting back to how it felt being attacked by her drunk ass mother as a child. My heart was breaking.
@darkflameboy – hope you are right. I thought in the previews for last nights’ show (or one of those “coming up” teasers) one of the objects d’affection was crying an telling the other “I love you” (unclear if platonically or romatically). Did not remember seeing it in the episode, though. An editing error for a future ep, perchance? We can only hope.
Oh, and @gilty – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
agreed, @S-Natch . . . that’s why I was wondering if my DVR cut that part out, coz it seemed like it was going to happen on last nights Untucked. Jinx had my heart too! sniff . . .
@S-Natch: I think the scene of the tearful \I love you\ was during the Skype session, no?
In any event, I was sad to see this week’s sashay. I can deal with a teaspoon or two of O’Hara-hatefulness in some of these b!thces, as long as the sweet and/or quirky non-Phi Phi girls come out on top.
Honestly, though, given the creativity and humor of most of these girls, I grow tired of the Phi Phi’s. This show just doesn’t need a whole lot of the cattiness to be the most entertaint-ing thing on TV.
Am I the cheese standing alone here? I don’t care if I am…damn it, I LIKE it when they read each other good-naturedly and well, and the girl who is getting read laughs the loudest (remember Alyssa laughing so hard at being read?). I LIKE it when they get along and the drama comes from their struggles and successes on the runway and in the challenges. It just seems like those are the moments that are truest to what RuPaul is trying to do…to ELEVATE the art of drag.
I thought the weepy I love you came during the chat with Ivy’s mom?
There were alot of words spoken through the blubbering, so it’s possible my subconscious just inserted it.
LOVED your read of Aubrey O’Day. She was a totally busted booger mess. I thought she was Carmen Electra at first glance! She definitely needs to chill with the spray tan. I really hope Jinkx and Ivy do hook up, they are so cute together. I can’t wait for your full recap!
Just watched the episode. It reminded me of the dragazine episode from last year. It started strong (reading mini challenge), featured a hot guy (the photographer) and slowly went downhill from there (phiphi won the challenge, sabotaged her own friend in the process and willam ended in the bottom).
At least this year, the challenge winner deserved it.
I was not surprised to see Ivyyyy Wintuuurrrss go. We all know what it means when a contestant gets more tv time in one episode than during the rest of the other episodes combined…
I’m glad Roxxxy realized she was full of shit and apologized to Jinkx. Of course she had to ruin it during Untucked but at least she’s not on Coco’s level… That bitch is the new PhiPhi.
Let’s hope the fated Alyssa / Coco lipsynch happens fast and that she gets her ass sent home.
P.S. : During the mini-challege I recognized Ronnie from Make me a supermodel * cough* and Playgirl *cough* (n°15), porn “star” Brent Corrigan (n°13) and I’m pretty sure n°17 was in Willam’s last video (Boy is a bottom). Several of them were also featured in Ru’s Peanut Butter video.
*in my best old lucky chinese lady’s voice* How much I win ?
Oh, so close. I was talking about former reality show contestants, so the correct answers are Andrew Christian (The Fashion Show – Yes, I watched it. DON’T JUDGE ME.) and of course, Ronnie from Make Me a Super Model.
Porn/video and porny-video (Willam) actors don’t count, but getting Ronnie did. Congrats!
The fashion show… Wasn’t it that bad remake of Project Runway with Isaac Mizrahi & NotBeyonce Rowlands ? No T no shade…

This week’s episode is further proof that just because you win a mini-challenge does not mean you won’t get eliminated…poor Ivy. I did like her, even if she was a bit of a background queen. She was ADORABLE out of drag; I’d totally be best friends with her. I hope she and Jinkx become more than friends; they would make a sweet couple.
Jinkx was so cute, telling the other queens “I have a crush on Ivy Winters!” . And her runway look this week? Gorgeous. She should rock the bangs more often because that hair was to die for. I hope she doesn’t fall into “Pandora Boxx Syndrome”, winning or almost-winning the challenges but then choking one week and getting sent home too soon. If she doesn’t win the title, she’ll definitely win Miss Congeniality!
I wish Coco would just go home already. Too bad she’s a really good LSFYL queen.
I suppose I’m rooting for Jinkx (as I have been this whole season) and Alaska now. Alaska’s good for giving us funny deadpan one-liners in her confessionals/interviews. I think she should just take Coco out back by the dumpsters and kick her @$$ from there to the moon.
Sad to see Ivy Winturrrrrs go home, but the writing was on the wall. She was definitely this season’s Dida Ritz: adorable, had a few shining moments, but ultimately not a contender. I like Ivy, she seems sweet and has real sewing talent, but she was never going to make it to the end.
Did anybody watch the Elimination Lunch on tuesday?
Ivy said that she had NO idea that Jinx had a crush on her until she watched the episode. She said that Jinx was’t her type but she cared a lot about her and their friendship. She said she does not date drag queens anymore after a bad long term drag relationship.
boo!
I am a total Ru-fan and almost never miss a show, but I had to DVR this one. After reading the mini-cap, I am just going to skip it altogether. I have grown to simply ABHOR Coco and her bullsh*t. Honestly, I can’t take another minute of her passive-aggressive nonsense and terrible highlights.
It’s a true shame about Ivy, but, as some of you have commented, she was too pleasant a person to have gone all the way. (Not that Jinkx or Alaska aren’t nice, but they have that eye of the tiger that Ivy just didn’t have). I wish her well, and hope that she stays true to herself in this very rough industry.
You can be a pleasant person and still make good TV. Hello, Jinkx!!
Sure, Ivy was sweet but that wasn’t what made her boring. It was her not having anything witty to offer or any sass on the runway, even her on stilts was meh. She’s a great designer, and Manila is on facebook a few times last week in different looks made by her, so if anything, her design company is gonna explode! Good luck, Ivy!
@SarClassy, about that comment for CommentGasm?
I’m waaaaiiiiiiting! Go for it, girl.
Thanks blueberry pancake. I try to watch the EL but I missed it yesterday. Wow too bad they won’t work out but I am sure they will stay good friends no matter what.
Ivy Winters has class and true talent and I hope she continues to go far and I am sure she will.
I think Alyssa’s days might be numbered as if she has to LSFYL again she is probably out of there. This is her 2nd time now. 3rd time usually gets you out of there. I really really really hope Coco is out of there next week.
Thanks S-Natch! It’s too bad the picture in the link doesn’t show up without having to click because it’s so true to life. I was hoping more people would click on it. It cracks me up every time I look at it.
Jinkx stated on her Facebook page last night that “Ivy Winters and I are very good friends now”. It’s sweet that they bonded. I hope they do shows together in the future.
also read an interview with Ivy where she says her and Jinx are just friends. I don’t think they’d make a cute couple at all but queen on queen kai kai just does nothing for me. not that there’s anything wrong with it!
interesting things Ivy said in the interview which was I don’t know the hell where or I’d linky it are that she never got to perform her fire eating or sword swallowing (literally – no pun intended) which I would have liked to see. my point is that she really isn’t boring which seems to be the rap on her. I thought she was pretty cool and certainly more talented than Boxxxy Mandrews (with three \x’s\ like her dress size) and CooCoo the heinous. I also thought her commercial with the mini into evening gown dress was certainly better than Boxxxy’s.
She also said that at first Ru’s \Iiiivvvyyy Wwwiiinnnttteeerrrsss\ whine freaked her out but then she found out that Ru was doing an impression of Latoya Jackson who apparently once infamously introduced Edgar Winter on an award show like that. When Ivy found out why Ru was doing it she felt honored that Ru had branded her with it. TMI? I think not.
Also Alaska for the win! She’s smart, funny and dragtacular.
I’m not defending Coco’s behavior, but Roxxxy is 10x worse imo. Roxxxy is jetting into Phi Phi territory. Also, I think Coco is more talented, Going by talent alone this is here how the rest of the season should play out. [ But sadly won't]
6. Roxxxy-She was funny in the Children Show sketch, that’s pretty much it, Her lip sync was minus the sob story was lackluster at best, Her attitude is horrendous, and she needs to throw the damn breast plate away.
5. Jinkx Monsoon-This is where i’m probally alone and am going to get flack, Jinkx is probally the nicest person left in the competiton, that being said being nice dosen’t equal winner. I’ve found Jinkx to do ok to good in most challenges, and yes they have read her runway looks, but they’ve not really held them aginst her, and runway is important imo.I can kinda see what some of the girls are saying, she goes out looking a mess at times, and yet still in the top 3 for almost every challenge, it would get irritating. Also for someone that is tired of being called a \Comedy\ queen, she sure does love to throw around the term \PAGENT\ queen when referring to Alyssa & Coco. I compare Jinkx to the girls on Top Model that make it far on \Personality\ and not actual \ Skill\.
4. Alyssa Edwards- Going into this, I loathed Alyssa, her Meet The Queen video made her seem like a vapid, self absorbed, pagent queen.. And she is quite vapid, but she’s got talent. I thought her perfume ad was funny & campy, which is what they were supposed to be going for, besides The Snatch Game she hasn’t really bombed any challenges imo, her Roast was actually funny imo. Also I would love to see her & Coco lipsync because they have proven to be two of the best lip syncers in the history of the show IMO.
3. Alaska- I wasn’t a big Sharon fan, in fact I thought she was quite overrated and deserved to go at the Top 4 based on overall performance, so I was expecting to not be a big fan of Alaska and her HIIII kinda annyoed me at first, and I wasn’t too impressed the first couple of weeks [ especially her giving up on the tanl], but I love her now. Honestly, she’s been giving a raw deal, She shouldn’t even be on the show imo, They should have waited a season because all she going to do is be compared to Sharon and it’s really not fair. She excelled at all the acting/singing challenges [ the boy drag was a bad idea, but her actual performance was spot on] and I’ve loved most of her runway looks.
2. Coco Montrese- Say what you will, Coco can be a bitch, however the bitch has TALENT, Honestly if she wasn’t so nasty to Jinxk I think people would like her alot more, and not let that cloud their judgement. Not to say she hasn’t hiccuped every now and then, but honestly Vivene should have lip synced in her place aginst Monica, The only time CoCo has dissapointed me was the singing challenge, she did act unprofessional, but Detox was trying to sabatoge her so I kinda can see why she was pissed. I personally have given her 3 wins [ The first two weeks & last week].
1. Detox- I loved her from the moment all the photos and video came out, and honestly I’ve not been dissapointed. Sure she mistepped a time or two [ Snatch Game], but she’s been constanly on top of things when it come to challenges, runways, mini challenges etc. Also, Rolaxkatox is annyoing, but I mostly pin that on Roxxxy, because for the most part Detox & Alaska haven’t been total cunt monkeys like her.
ugh Coco in the top 3? I seriously hope not. I am getting so tired of listening to her.
If anyone watched the bonus clip of Serena’s team doing the lip-synch mashup from the second episode…damn, Jinkx is a fierce lip-synch queen. If it ever comes down to her versus Coco doing a LSFYL, it will be a bloodbath on that runway. I wish people would stop comparing Jinkx to Pandora Boxx, though. They’re very different queens with differerent forms of comedy (Pandora’s a little more deadpan/snarky and slapstick).
Right now, my top three are Alaska, Detox, and Jinkx. I’d be happy with any of those queens winning.
If they do that “bring back an eliminated queen” thing again, my money might be on Ivy (or whoever gets cut next episode, as they tend to do that gimmick in top 5 territory). I certainly didn’t expect them to bring back Kenya last season, or even Carmen in season 3. Maybe Ivy could bring out those swords after all. And preferably hit Roxxxy over the head with them.
I think they’ve blessedly given up on that gimmick. Per wikipedia, which I trust with my life because I’m sure all it’s information is 100% accurate, there are 14 episodes this season which means we have six left. If they stage the finale at final 3 again, that’s three more eliminations, a recap, the finale and a reunion so no raising the dead.
Which makes me happy because they last two times they’ve done it at final four and based upon their performances this season, my guess is that Coco and Alyssa are the next two to go which would make them both available to sully the show’s “good name.” And with my luck Coco would be the queen brought back since I kind of like Alyssa’s brand of narcissism. So please don’t bring anyone back.
Roxxxy’s the next likely to go instead of one of them. And unless the next two challenges are “be a stank, delusional bitch” you know Coco’s likely to end up lip synching soon. At some point Ru can’t really justify keeping someone so moody and disinterested in doing anything beyond her narrow range of “talent” just because she thinks she can blow off any challenge that pisses her off by winning the lip synch. I may have my issues with Roxxxy but she never gives up on main challenges. No matter how far outside her comfort zone she does try.
Neither Jinkx nor Alaska has had to lip synch and Jinkx’s overall performance should get her at least one free pass. Especially if she’s up against Coco or Alyssa since that would be their third strike. And when they bomb the main challenge they really bomb it. We assume the decision is based upon the lip synch but it isn’t necessarily. Ru just says she’s made her decision. Alaska’s been in the bottom more than Jinkx, who’s never even been bottom three, but she’s also surging the last couple of weeks. Short of a Tammie Brown level performance, I think they’re both safe until Ru can dump Coco or Alyssa.
I think the only way Jinkx or Alaska gets eliminated before final four (maybe even final 3) or before Coco and Alyssa is if they find themselves lip synching against each other next week. Which would suck.
