Well, that shuffled the story right along, didnt it?
The stakes for the rest of the season are set, and were better off for it.
So, yes, this episode was needed.
But was it exciting?
For an episode largely based on the queens sitting around and sewing, theres still very little time forfun.
And those all happened in just one episode!
Let them do that.
Mistress has been a breath of fresh air this season, willing to call bullshit as she smells it.
Does Mistress hate Marcia x3?
I dont think so.
Does Mistress say what she thinks and make good TV?
Lovely work, editors!
Poor Anetra says just four words: Robin Fierce?
Good work, Jax!
Their materials are associated with Ross, Carson, or Michelle.
Loosey says they were assigned randomly, but I think that was some savvy sound editing.
Bad work, editors!
The RuPaul wheeze is much like the Paul Hollywood handshake it has power when applied sparingly.
We dont get to find out, though, because Carson is not a judge on this episode.
Meanwhile, Amethyst goes to absolute pieces trying to impress Ru on a sewing-challenge week.
Group Ross doesnt get much airtime or a chat with Ru.
Sorry to these queens.
On the runway, most of the girls do pretty well.
Team Michelle kicks it off with Mistress.
Aura looks fab despite not being a seamstress.
Amethyst is not great.
Spice looks cute, but thats always true.
Would love to be able to apply another adjective to her one day.
Her pants are incredibly constructed with the patterns almost perfectly lining up.
Her turban is fierce as hell, and her flow-y top contrasts beautifully with the more structured pieces elsewhere.
Great week for her.
On Team Carson, Robin kicks it off looking fine.
She ends up in the top.
Jax delivers a very well-constructed but slightly confused look.
Still, I dont know if I would have put her in the bottom.
Anetra looks good, if slightly unremarkable.
Salina is, uhhhh … just fully wearing a comforter.
She calls it a poncho, but its more like a shapeless blob.
Im still happy shes here, but I dont think shell make the cut once the competition heats up.
Team Ross is probably the strongest overall.
Loosey is cute and in character.
Also the pants could be longer.
Malaysia ends up in the top, and to me, this is a little random.
Also why is there no center to her hat?
That trend began last season, and I remain confounded.
Marcia x3 is cute, and her makeup is headed in the right direction.
Luxx, Sasha, Robin, and Malaysia end up in the top.
Why four queens, you ask?
Id have left those two off and given Aura a top spot, to my surprise.
It is still not to be.
She may be cocky, but so far the money is going where the mouth is.
Bottoms are Amethyst, Jax, and Salina with Jax as the obvious safe girl.
Amethyst and Salina lip-sync to Q.U.E.E.N., by guest judge Janelle Monae.
She ends up bringing it back around, but I fully gasped at the awkward phrasing.
My assumed top four remains the same: Sasha, Mistress, Luxx, and Loosey.
