Drag Race requires the mastery of more skill than any other reality show on television.

The baseline is being excellent at makeup, wardrobe, and hair.

That is a lot of things to be good at.

However, it doesnt do that throughout the competition.

And yup, thats exactly what happened.

But if funny is most important, why arent they grading on that curve for the whole competition?

There is this whole goddess theme pervading the episode that feels neither explained nor necessary.

Krystal goes first and makes a bunch of age jokes that fall flatter than her lips pre-injectables.

Shes almost not afraid to be bad at some things because she knows shes so damn excellent at others.

Unleash the beast and she could win!

The one thing I will give Vanity is that this is the best she has ever looked.

Is this that golden shower that I hear so much about?

Kitty closes the show and slays, even though some of her jokes dont entirely land.

It apparently didnt sting too much, because the judges loved her.

The category is Oh My Goddess, and she looks simply divine.

Ella sort of looks like a washed-up mermaid.

Her body-hugging spangly bodysuit is cute enough, but Im not digging the scraps hanging off it.

She is pleased with her blue-ombre human-hair wig, but everyone thinks it looks a little washed up.

Like many of Ellas outfits, it doesnt manage to be quite enough.

Kitty has a preferred silhouette, and it is short and flirty and works just right on her.

Her crown made of hair gives her the height and regal look that Ella is missing.

While everyone is untucking, the ladies get messages from home.

Ella has an absolute dime of a boyfriend named Marco.

I recognize that man from somewhere.

Oh yeah he blocked me on Grindr.

Vanitys man, Siim, is also very cute.

Kittys parents are wonderful and proud but shes right, she does look older than her mom.

Krystals parents are so supportive and sweet and also … my age.

I could have a 19-year-old onDrag Race.

I am so fucking old.

I also cant get over how much Krystals sister looks just like her in drag.

These two should have a sister act or something.

They could be the new Olsen Twins.

As we knew before the roast episode even started, Krystal and Vanity are in the bottom two.

They lip-sync to Dula Peeps Hallucinate, which is, objectively, the best song onFuture Nostalgia.

Sorry, Levitating queens, youre wrong.

Krystal is totally eating Vanitys lunch with her hairography and spinning splits.
