You’re a very handsome man, RuPaul.
Hello! Hello! Hello! Welcome back to RuPaul’s Drag Race! This week Ru threw a bunch of things together that didn’t make much sense, slapped a tenuous theme around it and called it a day.
Mini-challenge was about a Drag Race fan, who’s an inspiration to RuPaul and who has online fans that she calls butterflies, so the queens have to pair up in teams of two (Except there are 11 queens so someone finds out just how unpopular she is.) to create headpieces out of butterflies. Okay.
Main challenge consists of the queens hawking Ru’s last two albums, Glamazon and Champion in an informercial. Each queen will take a song from their album and sell it by relating it to a personal experience. The queens separate into teams, again, to make someone know she’s the odd queen out, because you know what really creates some juicy drama? Seething insecurity. It’s every performer’s life blood. Teams shake out thusly:
Glamazon: Chad Michaels, Kenya Michaels, Madame LaQueer, Milan, Princess, Willam
Champion: Dida Ritz, Jiggly Caliente, Latrice Royale, Phi Phi O’Hara, Sharon Needles
We learn that both team leaders suck at leading for very different reasons, that Milan is kind of a control freak, that Sharon might be able to do almost anything in a fright wig, andthat Kenya’s kind of a bitch. Oh yeah, and Phi Phi gets to eat a big plate of crow.
Then, as if it wasn’t completely random and hodgepodgey enough, the runway theme was…platinum and gold. Yeah, that’s it. I know the challenges were all built around Ru’s singing career but they kind of felt slapped together. At least there was a shot of Jason oiling up the back of Shawn’s thighs to keep our attention.
Special guest judges are Amber Riley and Natalie Cole, who was probably one of my favorite guest judges. Seriously, she was pretty great, and they lip synched to This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) which is just one of the greatest songs, ever…and produced, quite possibly, the most charming performance. I might have seal-clapped.
Full recap in a few days. Until then, you can catch up on the last recap here.

@Vallegirl, all of the eliminated queens interview on the Derek & Romaine show on Tuesday nights in the 7pm (EST) hour. This week’s eliminated queen hates Phi Phi and mentioned that Kenya had stopped taking hormones prior to filming.
@Derek..I knew Kenya was ‘moning! Girl is way too petite to have moobs!
Sonique was the same. She was a drag queen but she was also starting to transition into a femme queen.
I thought the eliminated queen had one of the best runway looks, although her head shape is so odd to me. I kept thinking she should’ve been casted for Aliens.
I loved the eliminated queens runway look. I thought the same thing, Kenya was too petite to have moobs. OMG I swear LaTrice can do no wrong in my eyes. I want her to be my dial-a-friend when Im going through things. Loved the other persons lip sync for your liiiiiiiiiife.
Add me to the pack that wondered about Kenya’s moobs. Also adored the loser’s runway look and the runner up loser’s lip sync. There was no question that she won it, even though I was pulling for the other one (just a little, I really like them both).
Phi Phi drives me nuts. On Untucked she is relating to yet another diatribe of Jiggly’s and saying how they all need to stick together, yet she is the meanest bitch in the pack.
Remarked to Mr. S-Natch that there are a lot of nice people on this cycle – Chad and Latrice being the den mothers.
Team Sharon!!
Count me in on the moob issue. This leaves a whole issue up for censorship, doesn’t it? When I was a kitten I didn’t have much more (wore a training nursing bra, if you get the idea), but I couldn’t have been shown topless on tv. How can Kenya? Because she is technically a man. I am so confused.
Too bad the nice ones get eliminated and the mean ones stay (uh oh–spoiler? still plenty of both, so I don’t think so) Of course if only the nice ones remained it would be a boring love-fest. Speaking of which, Love, SSC
PS – Saw something interesting on Sharon’s FB – she posted a clip from Project Runway that I referenced in another comment string after someone had mentioned that there was another “Sharon Needles.” With it she wrote something like, “Advice to young drag queens, always Google your drag name first.”
Wonder if Miss Needles has been visiting the ‘Gasm??
I don’t think so. She’s pretty good about re-posting plugs and articles, even ones that don’t like her, so if she were here, she’d likely have re-posted something by now…but hope springs eternal!
