Did you hear that sharp intake of breath?
Luckily for all of us, that calamity does not come to pass.
500 times in lieu of a recap.
But this episode does teach us a very important lesson: No one is safe!
AsAll Stars 5s enfant terrible Miz Cracker points out, you could slay and get Manilad.
Indeed, there is drama aplenty this week, and we are grateful for it.
Back in the Werkroom, Miz Crackers guilt over her treatment of Ongina is reaching critical mass.
After shes confronted by Alexis, she attempts to apologize and says that shell do better going forward.
The words are barely out of her mouth before Mayhem begins laughing in her face.
Girl, I dont believe none of this, Im just going to be real.
Theres something refreshing about Alexis demeanor this season.
Her give no fucks attitude feels like a relic ofDrag Racepast.
Alexis also makes it clear shesnotafraid of frontrunner Shea Coulee.
She says shes coming for the crown, and I believe her.
Unfortunately, the main challenge is not quite as compelling as Alexis vs Cracker.
Its a relatively steep dip in quality from the first two entries to this season.
The spin in this episode is that the queens must instead design a luxury hotel experience.
To this, I squint my eyes slightly and say, Hmm…
But before the queens begin the process, RuPaul breaks them into teams.
First up, team Julexindia is reunited with their hotel, Glamazone.
Glamazone is a jungle-based hotel.
So if youre ever attending a drag show in Papua New Guinea, be sure to check them out.
We salute you, soldier!
Shea, Miz Cracker, and Mariah comprise Team Shmacracker.
Originally, I thought Team Shmacracker would run away with this challenge.
Cracker also collects praise on the runway for her 3-in-1 Princess Anastasia storyline.
Shea and Mariah do not fare nearly as well.
Personally, Igaggedfor Sheas rosy maple moth fantasy.
The reveals are constructed beautifully, and Sheas hair and makeup sell the hell out of it.
The winning team this week is Team Blayhem.
Blair and Mayhems hotel is the 24 Karat Experience.
From the bed to the curtains to the bar cart, everything is spray-painted gold.
I hope Rebbie Jackson had a nice Juneteenth.
Or, sort of.
Better luck next time Team Blayhem!
Even better when that drag queen isAll Stars4 winner and New York legend Monet X Change.
In a close call, its Mariah who hits the road this week.
Shea is safe, but only by the skin of her moth mandibles.
See you next week!
It DO Take Nerve!
This dynamic is iconic to me.
Im currently seeking producers who will help me produce a Mariah/Mayhem podcast.
