I loved it, and all it took was a simple clock.

Thats the thing aboutDrag Race.

(No, not everyone loves puppets.)

Yes, theyre all slightly different, but theyre also dreadfully the same.

And who is feeding the judges who have to sit around listening to Michelles bad jokes while they wait?

Now we see just what goes into transforming from one look to the next.

Ella says, Mostly people are like, I wanna lick your ass.

Oh, the torment of being a gimbo (thats a gay himbo) on Instagram.

The struggle is real…ly annoying.

While theyre having this conversation, Im like, Shut up and finish your makeup!

Finally, there are some stakes in the workroom.

Dont worry, Krystal.

No ones first time is that special.

There are only five queens left, so the runway takes about as long as MichellesDr.

Andre Leon Talley would love both that and a comment about a chocolate starfish.

Then the queens learn the next category: Charity Shop Chic.

I love Sue, but these girls have so little time!

I like this version of the challenge better than the traditional sewing challenge.

This levels the playing field.

I was a bit more impressed with Krystal in that she totally transformed herself.

(Or say it either.)

The final look is Fugly but Fashionable, and the girls only have 30 minutes to get ready.

The brief is also quite difficult, and I think only Ella and Krystal really fulfill it.

It is very GottMik x Moschino and is really the only piece I could see gracing the pages ofVogue.

It is just fashion.

Thats like Ella posting a shirtless picture using a plastic surgery Instagram filter and calling herself hideous.

It is ugly (and very cool), but is it fashion?

Alan Carr is right, it looks like a Gucci campaign, but those are sort of ironically nerdy.

This lacks the irony that a real runway would give it.

It is just too much like something you would actually see on the street.

(OMG, remember episode onewhen I hated her?

I have really come around to our sacrificial virgin.)

Both of them are excellent in a way that I wish this could be the double save week.

It is not to be, and Scarlett is sent packing just shy of the final four.
