Look, even they’re bored.
COME BACK, WILLAM!
Well, that’s not going to happen and the work room is more boring because of it. The queens happily dance on Willam’s figurative grave, of course, ignoring the fact that he beat all their asses. After they celebrate it’s time to get down to the challenges. First up, a mini challenge where they have to decorate a pair of stripper heels to pair with their assigned Absolut cocktail. And with the Absolut challenge comes Absolut’s own precious little sprite, Jeffrey Moran to tell a bunch of dudes in dresses how they lack the appropriate level of gravitas and sophistication to represent the brand. Winner throws a bunch of crap on the shoes and makes them look, in the words of Pandora Boxx, like a donkey fucked a piñata, so she wins. Because Absolut is klassy like that. Winner wins absolutely (har, har) nothing but bragging rights.
Main challenge is to become a Presidential candidate for the Wig Party and participate in a debate. Ru brings along Dan Savage on his walk through and Dan grills the queens like they’re actual candidates. Some handle it well, others don’t, and Phi Phi visibly vibrates when she gets the slightest whiff of criticism. Imagine that. Ctrl+P. But it’s all pretty anti-climactic after last week’s challenge, and I’m a little sad that Willam wasn’t there to win another challenge because this was right up his alley, too. Meanwhile, Dan Savage is no Lucian Piane with his magically elfin face, and Santino’s back, so the panel is appropriately dour. Although Dan gets off what was quite possibly the best description of anyone’s runway ensemble, ever.
Runway is to dress for the Inaugural Ball and only Chad seems to know what that means. Of course, Chad thought she was going to Eisenhower’s first inaugural so sometimes closest only means least furthest away and not a bullseye. Sharon decided to metaphorically flip off Michelle by ditching the white contacts but pulling out one of her freakiest ensembles to date since it’s not like a drag queen’s going to be President any time soon. But Michelle, fickle as ever, doesn’t clock her for it this week. Michelle thought she was awesome. I will never figure that woman out.
So neither the winner nor the loser is any big surprise and most of the episode was kind of sleepy after the fireworks from last week until Ru makes the big announcement. Michelle and Santino are picking a queen to come back to the competition so she can get re-eliminated next week. (Not a spoiler.)
BRING BACK WILLAM!
Full recap in a few days. Until then, you can catch up on the last recap here.

“Jessica Wild, those drag clothes look like a donkey fucked a pinata and threw up.” In the immortal words of Pandora Boxx (whom I’m PRAYING is on the All-Stars season).
This challenge makes me think WWWD? Would she have done the spacy candidate thing, too?
I had no idea what the fuck Dan Savage was saying about Chad Michaels; Chad had a stupid idea that Danny Boy seemed to like and the rest of the panel just glommed on to his positive feedback because they were just as confused as I was.
In response to Phi Phi’s help comment, let’s hope Latrice or Dida feed her a shit pie. Although, eating one may improve Phi Phi’s sour disposition.
Speaking of Phi Phi, I’ve come to realize what her problem is. She is a talented girl who has creative ideas, but she doesn’t have the charisma to pull them off. That’s why she’s so hateful and jealous of William and Sharon; they are equally as creative, and have the charisma to pull off the more off-color jokes or avant garde looks. Phi Phi probably has gotten a lot of feedback about how wonderful she is in her everyday life and never received a critique in her life.
When Michelle Visage asked Dida during the debate about how she would decorate the White House, why didn’t she say something along the lines of, “I’m not 100% sure, but I’ll make sure the carpet matches the drapes.”
Finally, something tells me that Jiggly will be returning. The eliminated queen was dull, William was a rule-breaker, so Jiggly will get the Carmen Carrera treatment.
If JiggPuff comes back, I will throw up on my computer. BRING BACK WILLAM!!! I will never forgive whatever she did that got her kicked off for leaving us with Phi2, but she was far and away the most talented queen to leave.
@Derek – nooooooo!! The only thing worse would be if Milan came back! I’m thinking maybe The Princess. I thought she had a really interesting look and went too soon. Maybe she’s learned how not to be as dull as dishwater.
I have to say I will be disappointed if Willam comes back since she broke the rules. They may (or may not since we don’t know what they were) be stupid, but the rules are there and it is not fair that someone can break them and come back just because they are entertaining. I don’t think Willam would have won, anyway. I liked him but thought some of the others are better/more deserving.
Thought the winner this week won by a mile.
Loved the special surprise moment on Untucked – it is so much fun to see someone beaming with complete joy like that. The resulting conversation, though, confirmed all my thoughts about Miss Needles. Wanna hug her!
Sorry this comment is longer than the minicap!
@S-Natch, I don’t remember last season clearly, but maybe someone will remind me if I’m incorrect. I think when Carmen came back, she had just been eliminated the previous week. Then, she got eliminated again right away. So, I’m thinking that whomever comes back would meet a similar fate. Plus, I can’t say I will miss the eliminated queen, I think they made such a fuss about William’s “rule-breaking” and Jiggly would be the next queen in elimination order. So, that was my logic on that.
@Derek – you are right about Carmen. I’m just hoping that isn’t a pattern (which it very well could be). It seems to me that if they are going to let someone have a second chance they would give it to someone that got let go early and maybe did not get many chances to prove herself. Someone like Carmen or Jiggly got lots of chances and, IMO, it was past time for both of them to go. I wasn’t trying to dismiss what you said, just expressing my dismay at the thought of the Jiggly one’s return!
LOL, S-Natch, no offense was taken. I wanted to explain my thought process a little more thoroughly as to why I believe Jiggly will return (and promptly be kicked off again).
By the end, I personally found Jiggly endearing and likable, although her insecurity got the better of her. Hopefully, if she does come back, she won’t listen to Phi2 and will actually trust her own ample gut.
I know I’m 2 seasons too late, but…how the hell did Tyra win in season 2? I just watched it over the weekend and I LOVED Raven, how in the world did Manly McManvoice win? And does anyone know where I can watch Season 1? I guess I can be on topic the person who won the LSFYL desevered it her performance was on point and matched the song. Sometimes less is more
@Moli, there was the theory at that time that basically Rupaul using the show as a platform to forward the careers of Black drag queens since the Season 1 and Season 2 winners were both Black. The key to this theory was that many of the fans believed that the runners-up in each season were superior and also either White or Hispanic. I personally thought that Tyra won because of her sad-sack story and the fact that she had a young child and could use the money to support her family. Raven has been on Drag U and will more than likely be on the All-Stars season, so I doubt she is as bitter about the loss at this point.
Forgot to mention that my jaw dropped to the floor at the act that Santino found “hilarious.” How is this man a judge? He has no sense of humor at all! No wonder he hated my beloved Pandora Boxx way back when.
I loved PB ummm this weekend(when I watched season 2) how adorable is she I couldn’t believe she was almost 40!!!! I have no idea why Santino’s a judge in this show.
Dammit there should be a limit of how many times you can mention your child. Every other word out of her mouth was my son this or my son that. Bad thing was I didn’t put two and two together and realize Tyra was the winner until the end. At least she won a measly 25K and now its up to 100k.
Here’s my take on Phi Phi. She’s definitely the villian on the show but we’re just seeing one side and her vitrol is not directed towards any of us. The person she’s attacked the most, Sharon, has forgiven her and therefore so should we. A bunch of the girls just went on vacation together including Phi Phi, Sharon, and Alaska. Plus she is really good friends with Dida who I feel is super-sweet so I feel that reflects well on Phi Phi.
I guess I was one of the few that thought Tyra’s looks were the most consistently on point. Her runway looks were always polished, well made, and she was stunning.
I liked Raven, too, but she was bottom two a few times and Jujubee who was my fave for her personality made a few mistakes that put her there, too.
Pandora was great but her looks were a little low-rent. She didn’t play up the fantasy of drag enough. But during the reunion, that outfit she wore with tires and such…perfect!!!
I don’t think Tyra and Bebe winning means Ru only wanted to pick Black queens above all else. People look for any justification these days.. If Latrice wins this season, will people say it’s because she’s Black? Or will they say that it’s because Ru HAD to pick a big girl this time around?
Or will they just acknowledge Latrice is one of the best girls in the competition, size and race notwithstanding?
About the returning queen, I don’t think it should apply to disqualified contestants. I like Willam but rules are rules.. On the other hand, I won’t be too excited to see Jiggly, either. If the rule applies that the most recently eliminated queen returns, then wouldn’t that mean Dida is coming back?
Speaking of All-Stars, the current Top 8 is Pandora Boxx, Sharon Needles(These two keep going neck and neck for the top spot but I think it will def ultimately end up being Pandora at #1), Mimi Imfurst, Shangela, Manila, Jujubee, Raven and Nina Flowers.
I literally fucking blinked and all of a sudden Mimi and Shangela were in the Top 4 like ninjas. I’ll sorta let Shangela slide(SIDE EYE) but Mimi?! WTF?! I’m sorry but I really don’t think that she has that big of a fan base and it’s sketchy that out of nowhere she juggernauts the Top 4. I think the main reason I’m pissed is because Mimi and Shangela’s random pop up knocked Yara and Jessica Wild out the Top 8 and I really wanted to see the both of them in All-Stars.
In other news Lady Gaga tweeted about Sharon Needles last night and it was AWESOME.
Carmen wasn’t the most recently departed queen last season, it was Shangela. Carmen missed the “Hair Ball” but since Shangela already was a returning queen, the honor went to Carmen.
But I don’t care who comes back. It’s just a ploy to extend the season. Like other shows, unless the queen unequivocally wins the challenge she goes home.
And rules are rules but you’d think a bunch of drag queens wouldn’t be such sticklers about rules. They’re clucking their tongues over the whole thing like they’re Barbara Bush.
To me, the bigger critique I remember hearing at the time wasn’t that Ru was picking black queens, it was that Ru was picking elegant glamazon queens such as herself, rather than the edgier (Nina Flowers, Raven) or funnier (Pandora, Jessica, JuJu) queens. Raja finally got that turned on it’s head.
Now Moli let’s be fair. Tyra didn’t only talk about her child during that season. You’re obviously forgetting how every couple of episodes Lispy Manhands would jump all over someone for mentioning Beyonce, because Tyra was Sasha Fierce’s Misery-like biggest fan.
God I loathed Tyra like a bad case of jock itch. I was rooting for Jujubee, but she choked every time she had a chance to win.
I will agree with you loooong sigh@sarcasatire she was polished and consistent. @waffle how did I leave out the Beyonce all day every day.
You’d think so right, but consider who was left.
Chad is a professional LOL.
Professionals love rules.
And from her reaction to the Snatch Game rumpus room fuckery, you can tell that Latrice might also be a little bit of a stickler.
I don’t think Phi Phi cared so much about rules; she just didn’t like Willam, and Dida would have gone along with the common opinion on the matter, because she doesn’t like to disagree.
I think Sharon was the only one who didn’t give a shit.
Maybe Kenya Michaels will come back. It would make for some good ass drama with that letter she wrote, she’s a gorgeous queen and her lip synch was on point, and they could just eliminate her again right away.
Willam will definitely not be coming back. If Ru personally kicked her out for not following rules, I do not see him letting her ass back in. The only thing that might save her is that she admitted her wrongdoing of her own accord and didn’t hide it or lie.
The theory going around is Lashawn is coming back since she is the only queen who hasn’t been seen in the intro holding the check (the week after she was eliminated, they just showed the Alisa clip again) and if she comes back, I wouldn’t be too mad with that. The judges were split on her gumball look and Santino wasn’t there that week (Billy B was) and Ru said Michelle and Santino alone were making the decision. So I’m pulling for Lashawn. I’d be alright with Willam only for the chance to watch Phail Phail go all Party City part 2 on her. Cause you know she will. And hopefully we’ll get a better one liner than “Your tone seems very pointed right now” which is the greatest line to stop an argument.
Well, that’s true. Ru loves herself some “fish.”
Well, Sharon is def representing for the edgy girls..lets see if she takes it to the top!!
Side Note: I just watched Untucked online and it was full of such sweet moments..Dida and her mom, Sharon telling Chad how amazing and genuine she is (which may be hindering her on stage)..I love the girls together. PhiPhi, notwithstanding.
So, I watch the show online, on LoGo, and the comment section has one person named “Guest” who is all about PhiPhi. I’m pretty sure it’s Phi Phi herself..this person is just too determined, or as Chad puts it, “Bitch in hungry.”
She tries so hard to be funny and charming, but in the immortal words of Pandora Boxx, “Phi Phi Phell Phlat. Phail. Big Phail.”
The above comment was a response to @oodle_noodle but the reply button acts all wonky sometimes.
But now that I’ve scrolled down and the read the rest of the comments..it would be good and juicy if Kenya comes back. But did she diss any of the top 4? I know she didn’t diss Phi Phi or Latrice, and I can’t remember what she said about Chad or Sharon?
But it would be oh so sweet if Kenya came back and Phi Phi gets eliminated in the same episode. Bitter bitch would choke on her own bile!
@ Sarcastire … I remember Kenya saying that if Sharon was going to be a drag queen she needed to learn how to walk in high heels.
Hit “Enter” too soon. I meant to say that Kenya wrote that about Sharon in her ‘Oh So Sweet Legacy Note’.
LOL @ your predictions. Fingers crossed!
The line that gave me the biggest chuckle on this epi was made during the debate and from my big gal, Latrice … “About 5 minutes ago, I looked over and …. I am at peace with that.” HA!
PhiPhi acted as bad (meaning spastic and unfunny) during the debate as she did during the Snatch Game. I was embarrassed for her!
I think it will be Kenya. The challenge next week is my favorite – putting masculine dudes in drag. Kenya will fail as hard as Carmen did, because wtf does she know about turning a man-face into a woman?
My guess is Kendra is coming back, but I am rooting for Willam!!!!
Okay I have a question, I watched most of the Untucked the other day looking for the moment where Lashawn yells about “This isn’t RuPaul’s best friend race” at Jiggly and could not find it. I really want to see how that went down because that line cracks me up every time I hear it.
