Welcome back, besties!
I hope youre staying cool and indoors and are still enjoying your weekly 3 a.m.Drag Racescreenings.
Dont get me wrong: I dont mind a cast with no immediate front-runner.
It makes the season feel competitive and less like a runaway (e.g., Shea, Alaska).
And for her efforts, she takes the gold, making this her first ever win on theDrag Racestage.
A long time coming!
Drag ExorcistsNext up is Eureka, Scarlett, and Kylie as Drag Exorcists.
No pain, no gain, as they say!
To their credit, the group seems to pull it off.
Eureka is also passable in her role of possessed drag queen turned employee.
The judges dole out even-handed praise to all three, making sure to praise Eureka for her character arc.
While technically safe, Im not sure this episode can be chalked up to a victory for Eureka.
InDrag Races multi-season-long quest to Make Eureka HappenTM,All Stars 6might still not be her moment.
Silky, not normally known for being a wallflower, sits the pitch meeting out.
It happened to Mimi Imfurst, to Phi Phi OHara, and now its happening with Silky.
The resulting piece is a solid B/B-.
With the commercials done, its time for our distinguished panel to level their critiques.
Needless to say, I wholeheartedly endorse.
And, speaking as a bona fide AKeria stan, Im nervous!
Back on the main stage, its time for the main event: the lip-sync assassin reveal.
Andwhata reveal it is.
Its instantly iconic, as are most other things Laganja has done onDrag Race.
What follows is yet another incredible entry into the canon ofAll Stars6lip syncs.
Three for three, baby!
Trinity is incredible, as we might expect, but Laganja is transcendent.
Yes, they are stunts weve seen before, but nobody does them quite like Laganja.
Its drag; its camp; its Alvin Ailey; its perfect.
Laganja wins the lip sync and thereby becomes the executor of the will of theAll Stars 6cast.
And the eliminated queen is … Silky.
Rest in peace, queen!
As we enter the early midseason point, I eagerly look forward to seeing which front-runners may emerge.
Find out with me, why dont you?
See you next week.
