This week’s theme on RuPaul’s Drag Race is literacy…so Jiggly’s screwed.  Not a spoiler, just a guess based on the first six weeks of competition.

But first, the queens have their annual reading mini-challenge, and I’m disappointed that they’ve stopped showing everyone getting read.  Because my second favorite read of all time was Jujubee just spitting out Laotian at Jessica Wild and that would have been cut.  (Favorite being, of course, “Was your barbecue cancelled?  Because your grill is fucked.”)  Anyway, the queens you think would do well do and Phi Phi sucked.  Oops.  Spoiler!

Main challenge is for each queen to create her own dragazine and the mini challenge winner assigns the titles.  They shake out as follows:  Eleganza (Chad), Tastes Like Chicken (Dida), Battle of the Bulge (Jiggly), What’s the T (Latrice), Sashay Away (Phi Phi), Kitty Cats (Sharon) and Sugar Walls (Willam).  Queens will have to create a concept, write the headlines, layout the cover and do a photo shoot.  Most queens struggle, some are overconfident, some are clueless and someone intentionally gives another queen really shitty advice specifically to sabotage her.  And Sharon dresses like Little Edie but editing suggests that only JIGGLY CALIENTE appears to get the reference.  (I will assume that at least one other queen got it.  Willam, please tell me at least one other queen got it.)

Special guest judges are Pam Tillis who is surprisingly astute and Regina King who is just aces and one of the funniest guest judges they’ve had…especially when she laughs at another judge.  I love Regina King.  No lie, no sarcasm.  She’s just so awesome and I’ve been a fan since 227, too.  Oh, and we finally find out who the balding bitch that pisses off Latrice is!  And it’s both unexpected and completely satisfying.

Challenge winner is a bit of a surprise as is one of the bottom two.  So who wins and who sashays away?

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

    “In East Hampton, they can get you for wearing red shoes on a Thursday.” Or, you know, for having a ramshackle house with raccoons in the walls. I love Little Edie. And Sharon Needles. I’d never ask for a Mexican divorce!

    I also needed more reading at the library. But these queens are so lovey dovey maybe they didn’t read a bitch to filth. I need girls to throw that palm tree shade! (And cover everyone!)

    I turned the tv before the decisions. A first! I wanted to be surprised by the recap, it’s so much fun.

    So I can’t spoil anything. Last week I simply wanted to throttle Phi Phi and get our misery over once and for all. those poisonous glares were just awful. But she was so much nicer last night. (of course that doesn’t make for much improvement.)

    The producers certainly set up coincidences. Mention Jiggly’s, er, physique and that’s all they talk about. And in all these weeks has Willam’s beard ever been mentioned? If I was I missed it. last night? Hah!

    Now I can’t wait for the recap to find out who won. Thank you Sweet Willam for clarifying the reactions to the comment.

    I thought the second place finisher’s magazine should have won – it was HI-larious and the cover was glam!! I have lots more to say but don’t want to spoil the best show on TV for anyone. However, in Untucked it is clear to see why Jiggly feels so alone – she alienates anyone who tries to befriend her!

    What’s in a word? Plenty! Off. I turned the tv off.

    Oooooh, S-Natch! I’ll bet I am thinking of the same cover. I was surprised.

    Thank you. I was about 99..99% certain that at least you knew Little Edie and it was just a quirk of editing that no one else was shown getting the reference even during judging. Now I’m glad that Jiggly got it instead of wondering why no one else did.

    PhiPhi just continues to be vile.

    I too thought the second place mag should have come out on top. It was so much funnier, which is what I thought the challenge was about…

    Snowshoecat, after the mini challenge on the first episode PhiPhi opined, “Willam, not a drag queen. Did you clock the five o’clock shadow?”

    Why can’t a drag queen rock a designer beard? Especially as a joke. Genderfuck at it’s finest.
    Or a 3AM tranny hookers at the Port Authority. Dahling, it’s not a look…it’s a feeling!

    While I am 100% pleased with the judges’ choice of the queen to send a-packin’, I gotta say to a certain wonky-eyed ho….KARMA WILL BITE YOU IN YOUR SHADY ASS, YOU DEVIOUS BITCH.

    Deja, where can we vote?

    I’m mad to hear it’s only six episodes..I need more than 7 of my fav queens to grace the stage again.
    (Nina Flowers, Shannel, Jujubee, Raven, Carmen Carrera, Yara Sofia, Pandora Boxx,) Let’s add Rebecca Glasscock and Tatianna for drama, Tammie for quirk. And whichever of Latrice, Sharon, or Chad that doesn’t make it this season, needs a shot at redemption.

    Why are we voting now anyway? Are season 4 queens not eligible. :(

    Good question. Went to the Ru Paul homepage on the Logo website (bookmarked for easy reference) thinking it must be there. It wasn’t. Only watched this and the previous season, so i have to watch earlier epis– or at least read the recaps.

    The season 4 queens are available. Chad is campaigning for votes on FB. You vote by “liking” the contest on FB. All of y’all get out there and vote for NINA FLOWERS!!!!!!! XXOO

    I agree with Latrice that Santino’s comments were unconstructive and mean-spirited. Latrice obviously takes her drag VERY seriously, and wants input so she can improve…not just (humorless) unproductive name-calling.

    And it says something that even Willam – who spends 75% of the show walking around the workroom crowing “I’m the winner!” – was shocked speechless when a certain someone confessed their underhanded deed. There’s a big difference between mindgames from appearing overconfident and mindgames by tricking vulnerable dim-bulbs into doing the wrong thing. Nasty…so nasty.

    I know! Willam’s reaction was real– not a product of acting or editing. That was the meanest thing that Bayatch has ever done. And there have been so many.

    I thought that I posted this>>> Maybe on the wrong page>>?

    Well, my friend told me to post on this site because he thinks only gays watch this show.

    I am a old, straight, white, grandma. This is one of my favorite shows. I LOVE IT!

    Checked the web, and I cannot believe that MY FAVORITE, of all season has be disqualifed?????

    Do not know what she/he did, and I do not really care! From what I understand there is a lot of craps that goes on in this type of community. However, trash goes around everywhere!!

    Put my baby back on or from what my friend says this is your last season. If my Ms. Wonderful does come back this year, maybe next if you come back on She can pop out of the box. Like the PIS Piece of Sh@@ ( SHANGELA) not sure this is spelled correctly.

    I will miss Grandma’s little cutie pie.
