I went into this weeks episode with a few overarching assumptions.
And the third is that Jasmine Kennedie would spell DeJa Skyes name right.
However, Imquitethrilled to report that Im wrong on all three counts.
Bosco and Lady Camden both have their hearts set on the lead ofMoulin Ru, Saltine.
Its the star track, and neither queen will give it up without a fight.
You sure arent, because youre not gonna have them, Bosco fires back with a smile.
Neither queen seems to be budging, so finally Lady Camden suggests a coin toss.
But that wont do for Bosco, who, in aSuccession-like twist, forces the issue to a vote.
Her performance cant just be good; it must be excellent.
An untouchable paragon of Rusical theater excellence that blows whatever Lady Camden had planned of the water.
But she cant quite pull it off.
Its immediately obvious to me not two minutes intoMoulin Ruthat Camden and Bosco should have switched parts.
While ultimately successful, Boscos gambit to win the role completely backfires.
She goes from Logan Roy to Kendall Roy in 40 minutes flat.
Not helping matters is the fact that Camden is, well … pretty great!
Then comes the kicker.
As she does every season, RuPaul asks the girls, Who should go home tonight, and why?
The consensus: Bosco.
The symmetry is so perfect, its almost Shakespearean.
At the top of the episode, Bosco demanded a vote, willing each queen to say her name.
Joining her is Jorgeous, who couldnt manage to stand out among the crowd.
While technically proficient, shes outshined by the likes of Daya and DeJa in their respective solo verses.
Shes not going down without a fight, though.
On the one hand, yet another non-elimination.
On the other hand … uh … well, hopefully thefinalnon-elimination.
She lives to see another day.
IntRusive Thoughts
A weekly segment where I discuss stray thoughts that wont leave my head.
However, as much as she embraces villainy, it doesnt seem to suit her.
She kinda got her ass kicked this week!
Its so annoying to me.
Jorgeous, on the concept of musical theater:Shes right, and she should say it.
(And yes, I was one of them.)
