The queens are all sad to see Ivy go, but none as much as Jinkx, who had formed a special bond with her. Srsly, we’re going to need an update on that unrequited crush thing when the reunion airs. Alyssa says if she has to lip sync all the way to the finale, she’ll do what she has to do. The other queens don’t like that she is not acknowledging that the challenges are important. Jinkx speaks up once more to defend herself blahblah comedy queen blahblah pageant queen. I know I’m not the only one tired of them playing that tune over and over again. Continue reading
don’t fuck it up
Sashay, shantay, panther on the runway! Right away we can see this reunion special is…special, and I’m immediately willing to forgive and forget that we were left hanging last week. They’re on a bigger set than usual, there’s an audience and we’re treated to a fun opening routine. The queens are introduced one by one. The audience cheers, but they don’t actually get on their feet until Latrice Royale is introduced. Jesus is a biscuit.

“Resistance is futile,” the queens intone as they hit the workroom. Phi Phi says she knew this would be the top three. Sharon says she’s surprised she made it this far. Hit the jump and let’s dish on how the finale played out!

Hey, babes. Did you catch last night’s clips show? Ru has strung us along for one more week, recounting all the major events of the season, including the top fashion looks. Of course RuPaul herself winds up number one for that! The unaired footage we were privy to last night was minimal and not very exciting. Blurred out genitals! Blurred out ass crack! Jiggly helping Phi Phi do calisthenics! Whatev. So, at the suggestion of the lovely Dürer’s Rhino, I’m putting up this post for us to collectively recap the season the best way we know how: using GIFs! Continue reading
When the queens enter the workroom, there is such a sense possibility now that we’re down to the final four. Only one more queen to be eliminated before the finale. No one is sad that Kenya’s gone. They’re still The Fantastic Four, as Latrice says, that they were before Kenya’s resurrection. So, let’s see what challenges the final four dealt with this week. Continue reading
The Drag Race season premiere may have had its share of zombies, but last night’s episode truly saw someone return from the dead. As the episode starts, the queens enter the workroom. “Stay true,” DiDa wrote on the mirror. Sure, DiDa, what and ever. The surviving queens know someone is returning, and they are not having it. They decide they’ll make signs and protest. Hit the jump, and let’s put this corpse of an episode behind us as quickly as possible. Continue reading
The queens enter the workroom chanting “Top five!” and then notice Willam’s ass-print on the mirror. “I showed my ass a lot so here’s one for the road.” Oh, Willam! You mooned those bitches from beyond! “Goodbye, shady bearded lady!” they shout as they throw glitter into the air. This must be what drag queens do instead of smudging with sage. Sharon says it’s punk rock that she got kicked off. Chad isn’t buying it. “No, bitch!” Hit the jump, and let’s get down to business. Continue reading
The queens enter the workroom singing “Jesus is a Biscuit” and are generally in high spirits. “To my bitches, love y’all to death,” Jiggly has scrawled in lipstick on the mirror. Willam says: “At least the lipstick’s on the mirror and not on her teeth for once.” Rimshot! Willam isn’t really feeling humbled by having to lip-synch, probably because she was up against Certified Hot Mess, Jiggly. Sharon admits she might have to try a look without her contacts, which I respect. As much as it’s her signature thing, she really does listen to the judges.

“Colored girl, why yo base look like chalk?” Well played, Milan. A funny spin on Ru’s lyrics is a light and memorable way to exit the show. You’re the first one to do this right. Chad said she loved Milan, that she was class act. For the most part, yes. I’m still disappointed that Milan didn’t compete as strongly as it seemed she would. Willam asks Jiggly if she thinks she’ll win the show. Crickets. Oookay then. Hit the jump, and let’s dish. Continue reading
The remaining queens enter the workroom and circle Kenya’s clothes hangers like vultures circling a carcass in the desert. Kenya has scribbled on the mirror in lipstick: “Phi Phi, I love you. Sisters forever.” Gross, Kenya. I think even less of you now. Phi Phi has a sad because her best friend is gone. Awww, Phi Phi has feefees. Isn’t that sweet? No. No, it is not. Phi Phi mentions that Milan has sent both Puerto Rican queens home. “You’re never going to be in West Side Story again. Not even a touring production, bitch,” Willam says. Welcome back, you funny bitch. I have missed this side of Willam. Milan says she’s not going to compromise. Hm. This feels familiar. Hit the jump, and let’s dish on last night’s episode.
