We remain in the get the job done portion of thisAll Starsseason.
The challenges are fun, if not particularly thrilling.
Its all perfectly acceptableDrag Racecontent.
Rather than belabor the point, I think its worth just diving into the episode straightaway.
Its not an episode that asks for further analysis.
Again, its too early in the season for these queens to get caught up in too much drama.
Is it just to remind people that the kooky, desexualized onstage persona is just a persona?
The challenge is a pretty solid one.
The separation between the much-praised winning groups segment and the ultimate losers is simply not that wide.
This is a really good week for Kahanna, even if she is wildly outshined by her group members.
Alexis, Darienne, and Jaymes go for a LostmeetsClone High approach, which immediately seems too convoluted.
In reality, theyre all careering toward okay.
If it turns into a big drama, Ill be thrilled.
Plus, Kandy is mostly just doing pretty normal I am giving the producers what they want content.
I doubt shes actually trying to come for Heidi.
Jessica looks cute if a bit unremarkable.
Darienne turns her best look of the season in a sexy bronze fit.
Three girls go fully bare-assed: Alexis, Kahanna, and Lala.
Alexis is in an assless wedding dress and looks great.
Lala, it has become clear to me, has the worst looks of the season.
And why is the jacket so ill-fitting?
Kandy and Jimbo are the ass inflators, and they both look great.
Jimbo looks great, is creative, and stands out.
This was really her category, as a queen obsessed with body, and she doesnt disappoint.
Heidi is the donkey, making a play on the wordass.
This is funny and cute.
In the challenge, Darienne, Jaymes, and Alexis end up in the bottom.
Their critique really amounts to, It was okay, just not that funny.
Jaymes and Alexis are mostly complimented as well, just told it needs to be funnier.
My critique differs from the judges.
Jaymes is supposed to be the smart one, but she keeps on her ditzy character voice.
Alexis is … the sexy one?
Which didnt come through at all.
For the comedy to work, the characters need to be clearer.
Jimbo, Kandy, and Jessica win the challenge.
With both Kandy and Jessica dead by the end of this trailer, this seems … difficult to serialize.
And then I kept laughing at her all the way through.
Kahanna is fine, and Lala is a great foil for Heidi.
Its not quite as polished a story line as the Jimbo group, but it is funnier.
On the runway, Alexis throws her teammates fully under the bus, which the other girls hate.
Never change, queen!
The lip-sync assassin is Shannel (Yay!
Jimbo is actively bad at lip syncing, and Shannel is known for her single-minded need to be polished.
Shedoesgive a damn about her bad reputation.
See you in the Fame Games!

This weeksUntuckedmainly focuses on Alexis, who was kind of a bitch on the runway.
