MiniCap: Drag Race


Jason is a biscuit!

 

Welcome back to RuPaul’s Drag Race! It was an eventful week with our queens, little of which had to do with the challenges, but I think they hit the trifecta of three heavily promo’d clips.

But first up, the mini-challenge. The queens were paired off to paint each other while handcuffed together to take mug shots by “Polite in Public.” Most of the teams go for grotesque, which makes sense, one team thought to paint…pretty? And one team member had a genuinely brilliant idea that Jiggly (C’mon…we know she’s never going to come up with a brilliant idea.) thought was stupid, so of course it won.

Which then saw the queens break off into two teams to shoot a new “sitcom,” Hot in Tuckahoe, about four best squirrelfriends who just can’t stay out of prison. Double entendres ensue, with scripts that read like Three’s Company meets Jackie Mason meets The Lost Weekend. Ru finally realizes just how demoralizing pick’ems are, even when the people picking were all likely the last picked, and decides to let the team leaders pick names out of a hat. And it still produces one truly tragic team. How does that happen? The teams shake out thusly:

Chad, Jiggly, Latrice, Phi Phi, Willam
Dida, Kenya, Madame, Milan, Sharon

Can you guess which team flamed out royally? There was drama, there was yelling, there were references to Party City, there was a reasonably good lip synch, there were pithy comments from Willam, and in the end, all the right people won while the right person sashayed away…

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

    I thought the lip sync was horrible! The winner WAAAYYY overdid it but the loser did nothing. I thought it was embarrassing to watch and wish it had gone the other way.

    OMG, I am SO done with Jiggly The Mouth-Breathing Butt-Nugget… Vallegirl, I PRAY you are going to say something about her runway look, because that was DEFINITELY comment-worthy! Also, DICTION! Maybe if we spelled it D-I-C-K-S-H-U-N, some of these queens might use it. You are so right, there was all kinds of ridiculousness going on this episode, and I loved it! And can anyone tell me what is up Pee Pee’s ass? That girl flies off the handle faster than you can say “defensive”!

    love, J-Mo :)

    Pee-Pee must be cutting her pills in half to make them last for as long as she THINKS she will stay on Drag Race. Her mood swings could be menopausal…. That is what the pills are for!!!!! Willam is starting to grow on me, but I hope it is growing in affection and not a malignant tumor… Too soon to tell. LOVIN’ the recaps. Cannot wait for the full vivisection.

    JMo – I haven’t been commenting on the outfits because I figured Ru & Co. would do better…but…the last two makes me wonder if in her head she thinks she has Willam’s or Dida’s body because gurrr, those are not your dresses.

    And the Pit Crew is made of hot every week, but it was nice to hear them speak.

    Who up there hates me SO much that Jiggly is still in this competition? It must be the same person who keeps inflating FiFi’s ego to extraordinary proportions.

    I’m with S-Natch about the Lip Synch. The winner overdid it way too much and it got uncomfortable while the loser brought nothing.

    The winner of the LFYL brought NOTHING to the table during the sitcom challenge. I really hope she gets aufed sooner rather than later…her arrogance and attempts to micromanage (again!) are totally annoying!!!

    Who doesn’t absolutely LOVE Latrice? She is one big, beautiful queen who struts it right…and doesn’t “woe is me” about her tough road. I’m still werkin’ for my girl Sharon (and the lovely and classy Chad M.), but gotta give due to the ROYALE.

    Well MY dream team would be Sharon, Latrice, Chad and Willam– with Jason just standing there. In a perfect world.

    The best part of the LSFYL was Willam’s comment that she was “Swiffering the floor with her taint.” Willam may be an egotistical bitch and has the same fashion sense as Ashley of “A-List Dallas,” but she comes up with the best lines. I especially loved her dead-pan zinger from last week when Milan was spouting off and dramatically got down on the floor: “Was the carpet comfortable?” I’ll really miss her when she gets the ax.

    I’m so sick of Phi Phi and her constant ragging on Sharon. Bitch sounds like she’s jealous to me. One look? Excuse me, but who keeps pulling out the Chola every time there’s an acting challenge? Gurl, please, get over yourself.

    And I love me some Big Mama Latrice. Jesus is a biscuit!

    I also really thought Willam’s comments this week were spot on and hilarious. He is growing on me too. I still think I like Sharon the most. The short one that is really pretty, she is super pretty, but brings like nothing else to the table. Chad is a good strong all around contestant, he never really steals the spotlight, but never screws up royally either so he will probably be around a while. I bet he wins on the celebrity impersonation episode though. I think I saw a clip of it. He is the Cher impersonator right?

    I though Latrice did a great job and I was proud of her. She had that attitude head bob and face down perfect! I could not believe how much everyone smarted off to the Will and Grace guy. At least Sharon apologized for it. She will do well if she can learn to take constructive criticism.
