Post-elimination, the queens read and erase JoJos parting message before getting into the nitty-gritty of the judges critiques.

I guess therell be two Bindis, cause Im not changinggggg!

Art trills, a white-hot, murderous fury clearly visible in her eyes.

You think because I recap this show I wish anything other than pure, unmitigated chaos upon these contestants?

This isntRuPauls Best Friend Race Down Underrecaps, bestie!

RuPaul arrives to check on the queens progression, and seems delighted by Anitas cracked-out kids entertainer persona.

At least somebody is, right?

Perhaps by the virtue of lowered expectations, what transpires is altogether just …fine.

Art Simone as Bindi IrwinKarens confused, winding answers were mildly disappointing.

Arts made me feel like I was having the gayest stroke ever.

Did any of her responses make any kind of sense at all?

Something something something … blue ring octopus?

While she looks the part, its hard to consider this Lizzo as anything other than misguided.

Sometimes, the gag is overprepared you cant get him out of your … DNA test?

(Can I believe in prison abolition and still think users of the word bussy should go to jail?

A question for another time.)

But this week, make that a human fleshlight with a half-decent Jennifer Coolidge impression!

Why does she look, sound, and move like an extra in a German senior centres production ofChicago?

This is a decidedly nothing Snatch Game act, but given the material available, thats pretty unfortunate.

Still, hats off to Etcetera for seeming to survive on sheer confidence and commitment to the bit alone.

On the runway, the theme is Sea Sickening, and everyone does swimmingly.

neither queen really turns it out.

Art Simone is sent home, and I amgagged.

I truly thought she was the one to beat.

Until then, Ill be in my psychoanalysts office, trying to make sense of Elektra Shocks Catherine OHara.
