Hey, hunties. There isn’t anything to recap this week as last night’s episode was the obligatory clips show we’re forced to endure as we wait for the season’s winner to be revealed. Next week we’ll get to see the reunion of all the dragestants, find out who America’s Next Drag Superstar is and also find out who won Miss Congeniality. In the meantime, do you know what we’re gonna do here? Hit the jump, pussy willows. Continue reading

When the queens enter the workroom, Coco is predictably thrilled that Alyssa is gone. So can she get her shet together and compete without a chip on her shoulder? Doubtful. Boxxxy Mandrews acknowledges that Jinkx is the first queen to win two challenges, and Alaska tells us she thinks Jinkx is her biggest competition. Now that we’re down to the final five, there is little room for error. Anyone can go at any time. Hit the jump for a look at my updated Drag Race Index! Continue reading

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

The queens are all emotionally spent when they enter the workroom after last week’s non-elimination and Roxxxy’s tearful, calculated confession. Roxxxxxxxxxxy admits she had been projecting her issues at Jinkx and apologizes. Well, that’s something, I suppose. Detox is pissed that there was no elimination. Me too, gworl, me too. Alaska is frustrated that she still hasn’t won a challenge. And we’re off. Hit the jump to see my updated Drag Race Index! Continue reading

RuPaul Roast: RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5, Episode 7

The queens are sad that Jade has sashayed away. Not too sad, I’m sure, but with half the competition now gone, things are getting closer in every sense. Coco says she can’t let Ru down again. Coco, you’ve been letting yourself down most of all. Get with it. The queens congratulate Ivy on winning the challenge, and their praise really does seem louder and more genuine than when they congratulated Jinkx last week. Oh well. Don’t let it get you down, Jinkxy. In the confessional interview, Roxxxy talks some more shit about Jinkx. Maybe you should focus more on your own flaws, twunt. I am so tired of Roxxxy Andrews, and no tearful childhood trauma revelation is going to change that. Hit the jump for this week’s Drag Race Index. Continue reading

As the queens enter the workroom, Roxxxy says they are all going to miss Lineysha. Alaska asks Detox how it felt to be in the bottom two. Detox tells her she doesn’t even want to know. The queens congratulate Jinkx, but Roxxxy is quick to drown out the praise for Jinkx with praise for herself. Jinkx doesn’t like that she’s not getting the sort of excited reaction that the Ro-Laska-Tox queens get when they win something. My sweet Jinkxy, don’t worry about it. You don’t need their validation. They feel threatened. They might try to express it some other way, as Roxxxy did later in the episode, but the truth is they feel (rightfully) threatened by your talent.
