That phrase unfortunately became my refrain this week as I dove into the penultimate episode ofAll Stars 5.
Blair stayed instead of Alexis because shes the future of drag?
Miz Cracker is showing her true colors by putting Blair second in a four-contestant line up?
Bringing out the legendary dancing diva Kennedy Davenport as our lip-sync assassin and assigning her a mid-tempo country ballad?
However, there is still something tickling the back of my head.
Its a peculiar sensation right under my wig that feels a bit like … well, rose petals.
But first, lets talk about the challenge.
This week we have the much anticipated stand-up comedy challenge.
(Write a joke about literally any subject?
Vicious reads of my friends and colleagues, copy that!)
Listen up fives, a ten is giving helpful feedback!
Up first is Jujubee, who takes a very Jujubee-esque approach to this challenge (as she should).
Its cute, but is it right for a stand-up set?
Your classic comedy old faithfuls!
On the runway, I dare say this is the best Jujubee has ever looked.
Its a trippy, well-constructed, mismatched bodysuit with a ten-foot chain boa.
The judges gag for the look and praise her Ross Mathews takedowns.
Next up, Blair St. Clair.
I couldnt help but feel a little bad for Blair this episode.
Blair fought hard to stay last episode and it worked.
Blair breezes through her workshop with Ross and Jane.
Theyre laughing at her jokes and their one note is that she has just too much material!
An embarrassment of riches!
Our hubristic queen bombs this week in spectacular fashion.
I came into this season not sold on the idea of Blair St. Clair.
Its time to talk about Shea, and, by extension, Sasha Velour.
In the workshop, Ross and Jane are a little lukewarm on Sheas material.
I still havent been able to laugh at that experience yet, hesitates Shea.
Shea takes the note and, by all accounts, does well this episode.
Sheas drag is in a league of its own.
Shea acknowledges that Sasha is a part of her story.
She even flipped the narrative on its head with her Carrie at prom runway a few episodes back.
Shea narrowly loses to Cracker, but finishes in a clear second place this episode.
Finally, Miz Cracker.
Cracker wins her third challenge tonight, and her second in as many weeks.
Miz Cracker is a hostess at heart.
As Blair points out, Cracker is being Cracker at a show.
This earns Cracker the right to lip-sync against Kennedy, to which Cracker says NOT this.
She goes into this finale with three wins, but dont think she has this season all tied up!
Next week is the finale, people!
Soak in every moment because it might be a while before we get any moreDrag Race.
(Okay, bummer alert, Im sorry!)
It DO Take Nerve!
