  1. Wassssup Ru-thayyyyyy!!!!!

    Tryin to keep in step with the theme of the episode, hope you don’t mind! hahahaha Sorry I’m late to the party, I was out of town for a few days and met…::drumroll::: JINKX AND…MICHELLE VISAGE!!!! Before you ask…yes it was totes amazeballz….they were wonderful and super sweet…like really sweet, like I would chill and watch movies with them but I’d still be freaked out cuz its freakin Jinkxy and Michelle V ya know?!?! hahahaha but onto our current competing queens…

    Ok first things first, overall I LOVED this episode, this was a great episode in general cuz it seemed like we had really skimmed the fat of those coming to tear this competition up, everyone was hungry for it cuz they know Ru’s lookin for keeps and it is really on!

    Laganja: I know she was a bit solemn cuz she just clearly beat her friend in the lip-sync so I was giving her some time to feel the duldrums and work it out! Yeah yeah, she’s not used to losing, like you said…fact of life…you’re gonna hear a hell of a lot more NO’s in life then YES’s…just the way it works out. I appreciated her coming with the boom box to the challenge but let’s be honest her rap wasn’t the strongest, her look was great but the rap really left me something to be desired so of course she was just safe, I thought she was a bitter boots about it in UNTUCKED when she threw shade at Adore like “I didn’t think she’d win cuz…” don’t blame the edits hon, they took the best and her best was better than yours stumbling before or not, she killed it. And then to say she wishes Ru did put more emphasis on pretty and style…babe, that is what the RUNWAY does…or did she not hear them getting into Milks dairy every other runway??? You gotta bring the others stuff and multi task, that’s what RU wants…10’s ACROSS the board..not just some boards. I do like Laganja but she’s tap dancing on my nerves…step it up queeny!

    Darienne: Like you aid Rut-thay..not sure if she’s gettiin the bitch edit or if she’s just super pissy cuz she’s losing and like Laganja-she’s just not used to it! I thought she was givin Bendela some straight hater-ism as if she wasn’t suppose to be happy that she won…false modesty between drag queens doesn’t seem to play out, girl when you win you better RUN WITH IT, haha! And its not as if she rubbed in in their face, I wanted to be like calm down Big D, it’s not even that big of a thing! But…she DID do great opening the girls books and READING, I saw the extended version and yeah she ha those girls on lock…could’ve sworn this was gonna be Bianca’s thing but Darienne edged her out just a bit. For the challenge her looks gave me old school Missy Eliiot, her rap gave me…nothing. Very simple, hat, cat, bat repetitive uninteresting stuff. She was more hilarious in the background of the girls then in her own spotlight so that’s never good. Did she deserve to be on the bottom….well…i’ll discuss that in a sec.

    BenDeLa: MY HOMEGIRL…I don’t have a lot to say cuz I thought overall in this episode she did good, not GREAT but I appreciate a great personality like when she flubbed her words she was like this next one is gonna be amazing…people can forgive you going with it and having the confidence to bounce back and she did her best! She was good in the vid, not great as per usual but I have to agree with Dairenne on this if I was thinking 90’s rap, probably wouldn’t have ran to Dela so that was nothing to take personal, Dela just seems very sweet that its coming off as irritating to Darienne but I really don’t understand why, I think this is one of those in-house dramas cuz outside of the competition they don’t seem like they’d have a prob with each other, I think Dela is just getting hated on a bit for rockin it and I also think she won’t like being safe, she seems to strive for the top so heres to hoping next week she’s back on.

    Adore: I must admit you were right about Adore at least in the talent area…homegirl is bringing it. She killed the rap and her look, a very deserved win…her runway…eh..well…at least she got a waist…and I was thinking in the back of my head as soon as she won her custom jewelry prize that “LORD KNOWS SHE NEEDS IT!!” hahaha. But she did really great, she does seem to be growin in the completion and that’s a good thing I don’t think she came here to be a better drag queen she just happens to be learning in the process and its paying off for her…except for length…baby girl had better give Michelle some down to the floor stuff or just some booty shorts next time! Plus side…she saw through Laganja’s crap as we saw on UNTUCKED so it’s good to know she’s not naïve, she understands the game and she’s playing it too!

    Trinity: Kudos for her telling her status…I appreciate an honest person and it shows she has no shame about it and is LIVING despite the disease so rally good for her…that being said…it still doesn’t excuse her downtrodden attitude. Who says before rap legends…if it sucks its cuz I don’t do this….I’d have to roll my eyes with Milk on this one. Her look in the video and the moves were giving me a total flashback to my childhood watching the girl rap groups in the 90s doin their thang…but the rap was muffled ( Bendela TOLD her to work on it and she wouldn’t take the criticism) and her excuse to the judges was..” I don’t make excuses BUT…”…I just shook my head like oo girl, just chill. She is just beatin herself up and its not pretty…if she wasn’t killin it in the lip-sync…she would go home but in a kind of weird twist..the lip-sync is where she shines cuz that IS what she does (as she keeps remindin’ us) so it empowers her at the same time up until the next challenge where she will then turn Eeyore on everybody. I don’t know…it’s weird cuz to be honest I don’t hate it, she’s the only one who’s really giving me a lip-sync that’s worth mentioning so, I just wish she’d apply that energy to the challenges.

    Milk: well….for the challenge I did think she kept true to herself and that was wacky and crazy and I didn’t hate her dancing…I hated her rap. Definitely a weak one and bottom 3 worthy out of all the others. Her runway…I appreciated the attempt but like Santino said…her attention to detail should have been just as sharp than when she’s doing her NORMAL looks and it wasn’t there. I appreciated her fight in the lip sync BUT…this is where Trinity shines, the song is very seductive and Milk didn’t capture the essence of it so…sad to see her go…did she deserve to be in the bottom…i’ll discuss it below.

    Courtney Act: Not much to say about her, she played it cool most of the show. Her rap and look was good in the vid and I thought she deserved to be safe, loved her sweet aussie voice rappin! She took the challenge head on…so YAY! Do I think she’s relying on pretty…I really didn’t think so…I think she just happens to BE pretty…does that mean she’s relying on it…she seems to bring her own uniqueness to every challenge so I didn’t think WAS relying on pretty..but I guess they just wanna see more versatility from her…I mean take Laaganja…completely different aesthetic but her looks are ALWAYS different she hasn’t given us the same look or wig or feel from her gig 2 weeks in the row…at least runway-wise…that might be what they want from Courtney, cuz if all the girls can do a great tuck, they could all come out in thongs and bras (though the pillow and teddy was cute) so…I don’t know cuz I don’t know what they’re looking fr from her yet, but if I was her I’d keep doing what she’s doin cuz she is putting her mark on things. P.s…I loved her welcome to mediocrity bit when Bendela was like I’ve never been in the gold room!

    Bianca: I am lovin Biana more and more from the start where she supported to Trinity and the middle of the episode when she told her hey…even if you just need a laugh, you can call a bitch…hahah, I agree with Adore..Bianca is secret softie and her edges of softness are showing and its very endearing, she’s more than just snippets of sarcasm; She’s drag queen to be respected to and that’s just cool. Loved her in the video…her rap and look was crazy and funny and loved her part in the vid where Darienne had threw the money and Bianca picked it up and put it in hr shirt like I cannot believe they are throwin this, hahahaha. also appreciated her drinkin the 40..VERY 90’s rap vid…I don’t think I can remember a Snoop, or Ice Cube video where there wasn’t some liquor in it so thumbs up for old school throwbacks!

    Joslyn: You know I’ve bee givin her kinda a hard time cuz I felt like she was coastin BUT…like Adore..she proved me wrong, homegirl really stepped it up..now am I completely convinced…no, but I definitely see that sparkle, hunger whatever you want to call it and I was very impressed with her this week she killed it! No doubt, I thought she was gonna win it, I think if she had moved a bit more in the video she probably would have …either that or she would have had to come dressed CLEAN the runway cuz she had a chandelier over her swimsuit, but she had me rooting for her and that hadn’t happened yet so I was very happy with her now its just a matter if she can keep my interest…I see her tryin to sneak on my radar hahahahaha

    To answer your questions…
    1.) Did Trinity slay….yep, that’s her forte so it was no shock. no shade about it, it’s just what happens and this was a great song for her so I kinda felt like she was gonna do good anyways and she lived up to the expectations and she did do great…not the best lip sync of all times but she’s the only one givin me something to work with in hers so…props!
    2. ) Excited for next week…as if that’s a question, although it does have me worried cuz we’re getting 2…does that mean the week after we have too wait a week or 2 for another episode cuz its gonna make me not wanna watch the 2nd episode in case I have to hold on, hahaha or is it a good thing like we brought someone back so we just have no where else to sandwich this episode…not sure…so am I excited? hellz yeah…but i’m also nervous..waitin for that other pump to death drop, haha

    3) Was it milks time to go home…well…that would mean I wanted Darienne in the bottom…and did I??? I’m not sure…both Darienne and Milk were not the best..I mean Trinity’s rap was a bit indecipherable and I’m sure eve and trina told Ru, you know she kinda gave a disclaimer b4 she even tried so she should have been in the bottom but Between Milk and Darienne…I’m just not sure…I mean Darienne’s rap was horrid but it did resemble a rap and her look was 90’s…I think Milks rap was very MILK-Y but it was kinda weird and her look was not 90s rap in no way shape or form so I think that’s what doomed her to the bottom, but honestly think it was just a coin flip, it could’ve easily been Darienne so I don’t know Ru’s thinking on this one, what the criteria was for Milk…UNLESS it progress on the show like RUNWAY and Darienne has been bringin different stuff so sometimes when they don’t know who to pick they look at your body of work and since theirs is Runway, Darienne has been stronger. But who’s to say…in this lipsync though it was no contest, although Milk was REALLY good, this was Trinity’s lip sync.

    4.) I did pay my$ .99 and got oh no she better don’t…I really like Ru’s hook, it’s freakin catchy and although all the ladies raps aren’t good the good and funny’s one cancel out the bad ones and they end up not sounding so horrible on the single so YAY for that!

    Side notes..

    *Don’t understand why Trinity is rockin the fake braided pig tails…

    • WHAZZZZZZUUUUUPPPP!!!!!

      Yeah, Trinity should just shave her head like Ru. She’s probably look cute with a little bald head. No fake pigtails necessary.

      I also think, based on what I’ve been hearing about at BenDeLaCreme’s viewing parties and other various internet rumors, that the deck was stacked in Trinity’s favor on that lip synch. There’s no WAY Milk’s silly lip synch style was going to out shine Trinity’s super fishy, super sexy version, at least with that song. It reminded me of the one time Jinkx had to lip synch & it was a really silly campy song that she did great at. I wouldn’t be surprised if the decks were slightly stacked to go the way producers would like it. Not that a queen can’t pull it out, but they might make it harder.

      I’ve also seen rumors, and I have no idea if it’s true, that an eliminated queen will be brought back. That will be interesting, although not entirely unexpected. But if it is true, then maybe we will only be down 1 queen after the two episodes. Maybe. I think when they did this in the past the eliminated queen had to win that week’s challenge to stay. Time will tell.

      And Laganja – I know she was in the safe category, but I can’t believe she wasn’t read for over accessorizing when Joslyn was. They were both rocking the dangly chains & bling. Laganja was just a bit more covered up.

      I’d like Laganja, Trinity and Darienne to lighten up, toughen up and get a grip. I’m not holding my breath though – they do make for the drama, and each one is paired up with the person they’ve been pissy with.

      So happy you got to meet Mama Michelle & Jinkx! I assume you were at the battle of the seasons show. I’ll be going too, but they’re not near us until late this month. Gotta wait. (pout)

      • Negative on the battle of the seasons…it was called Boys 2 Men, it was in Chi-town for a one night event where the staff (the boy staff) transformed in2 queens for a night, all the $$$ went to charity and Jinkxy and Mama Michelle were hosting, they were freakin fab…took ALL my money, hahahaha

        How sweet they were though made me want to go see them again so if their was a battle of the seasons near me, I would totally do it, I think the closest one was Canada but yours truly does not have a passport nor an enhanced license to cross the borders, so when they hit Chicago I was like oh yeah, I am soooo going, its so close and it was SOOOO worth it!!!!

        With that song, it didn’t even need to be stacked in Trinity’s flavor, it was kinda like a done deal ya know??

        I heard the rumors about an eliminated queen coming back 2, but I wonder who it will be…I don’t think the queens coming back has always fared well though…it only started in season 3 and it was Carmen…she came back one episode and she left the same…season 4 was Kenya Michaels and she came back the same episode and left it 2, and with Season 5 it was double loss (Vivi and Honey), double wins (Alyssa and Roxxxy) so it was right on track…who would you want to come back?!?!?! I think I’d pick Kelly…we didn’t get a chance to see what she could do and she says she’s a triple threat so I’d say BRING IT!

        Laganja DOES over accessorize, but because she was so covered up adnn Jos was so out there and cuz Laganj was safe they were probably like if she comes back next time…we tellin her, although maybe they don’t mind it from laganja cuz they had no problem tellin Courtney she was resting on pretty…I mean Laganja DID describe her style as flashy , classy and ghetto..odd choice of words but you know, she’s kinda odd so who knows what was goin through they heads!!

        yes, Laganja, Darienne, and Trinity need to take a chill pill, actually they need 4 chill pills….EACH! Darienne is acting bitter, Trinity is actin hopeless and Laganja just seems confused, someone needs to shake them and tell them get it together! Though they do bring the drama…can’t wait to see what this double episode should bring!

        Other sidenotes…

        *Can you BELIEVE Gia’s note to the girls…homegirl was PISSED about leaving, BUT it did help confirm what you been sayin cuz Gia’s letter through shade at the queen who was in boy drag (that’d be Milk) which proves your point that SOMEONE had to have said something to Milk in the workroom…I mean not one comment? Not one side eye?? They gave side eye over the BEARD…you cannot tell me they didn’t snicker about the workroom Ru look! So I’m with you…shenanigans across the board!!!

        • If you were close to Chicago for that show, there is a Battle of the Bands just 90 minutes north of there in Milwaukee on April 29. It’s a Tuesday, which isn’t great, though. But I’m going!

          I think I saw it on Reddit, some one took a screengrab of Gia’s letter and there are actually some complementary things in it that we didn’t get to hear. So I think she partially got the bitch edit, but if over 50% of what you serve is shade, you’re gonna get that edit. Good for her for what I did see – that she was glad to meet the other girls & that she learned a little something. (I think – I’m not actually looking at the screengrab, so I could be making her even nicer.)

          • Yeah this event was on a Monday…had to take off from work..but OMG…worth it!!!!! Detox and Alaska was there 2, I only got to take a pic with Detox cuz I was 2 nervous to go up to Alaska and be like hiiiiiii (my one regret for the night) but other than that I had a ball!!! Bet it’d be even more fun with more of the other girls cuz there would be more interaction!

            Oh those dang edits, I’m sure Gia could give a flying fig about getting the bitch edit though, she seems to relish in that kinda hate me or love me kinda way but they did sneak in the love she has for Laganja who seemed like genuinely became BFFS!

  2. I really like Mill’s kooky style. What I don’t care for is Darienne’s. There is no uniqueness or nerve there and here style is average at best. Top that off with a cup of bitter and it takes away all her beauty. Sad. I will miss Milk. I think she was just starting to really emerge for her shell nd we were going to see an amazing Queen.

    • Yeah, I really liked Darienne at the beginning but she’s progressively getting the bitch edit. Deserved or not, it’s unattractive. I may have wanted more from Milk, but I liked her & thought she was clever without being bitchy.

      I thought Santino hit it on the head when he said Milk didn’t pay enough attention to detail when she was trying to be pretty. Milk may not see that many ‘pretty’ queens put as much work into their look as she does with her kooky looks. That was probably her ultimate undoing.

      It looks like there’s either a comedy or a roast challenge next week. Do you think Milk would’ve done well at that? I’m not so sure.

      Thanks for commenting!

      • So true! I am excited to see what the girls come up with next week. I do tend to like the funny girls and its usually the editing that drives your feelings. Is that why I’m loving Bianca now?!? But no matter what I think (LOL) ALL these girls are the bomb at what they do!!!!!!!!!!

  3. So glad Milk sashayed away. Hate his drag name, lack of style, and his reliance on camp to win. Last week’s runway look where he appeared as RuPaul as a male was insulting not only to the other contestants, but also to Ru, as he didn’t look too happy when he walked out. Although he resides in NYC (I was born and raised there) his drag style is typical of upstate New York where he is originally from. Trust me there are many queens in NYC such as Peppermint, Hedda Lettuce, and Sherry Vine who represent the city with pride and talent. You can take the boy out of Syracuse, but not take Syracuse out of the boy.

    • That’s hilarious! I don’t know enough about the Syracuse vs NYC drag styles. But the conspiracy theorist in me totally thinks Milk was asked to do ‘Workroom Ru’ for that challenge. I mean, come on – NO ONE threw shade at her outfit in the workroom OR in Untucked? Seriously?

      For me, Milk had her moments. I LOVED her outfit the first week, although I could’ve done without the beard. Most other weeks were just meh. I wanted to be wowed by the weirdness or really surprised by a more conventional look. Milk just never seemed to deliver.

      • OMG – thank you for saying what I’ve been thinking. I think Milk was encouraged to to the work room Ru look because there was NOTHING about it (other than the runway itself) about it.
