There comes a time in every season where these sleep-deprived, internetless, self-isolated drag queens finally snap.
That time is now.
This is notRuPauls Best Friends Race.
Over the years, this quote has gone from legendary read toDrag Racelore to prophecy.
You may not know me now… but you sure will later, Brita reads aloud.
Aidens lipstick message reads less friendly goodbye and more vow of revenge, but the girls ignore that.
Umm, you do?
Both queens are pissed off at the harsh, unsolicited criticism offered to them inUntuckedlast week.
Gigi told Heidi she needed to work on her makeup, and Jackie (and Sherry apparently?)
told Widow that she should have prepared a better Snatch Game.
Thats right, no qualifiers.
AOC told no lies!
Night of 1,000 Michelle Visages (Michelles Visage?)
isDrag Raceat its best: campy, joyful, and self-referential.
She bucks, she twirls, she handsprings… Madame X is a stunt queen.
I could have seen her in the top this week were it not for an underwhelming runway performance.
Jackie fares less well (much to Widows delight).
Next up, Heidi vs. Gigi.
Our beloved Heidi N. Closet has been having a rough go of it lately.
Therefore, Heidi finds herself lip syncing yet again, this time against Brita.
Lets talk aboutthe winner of season 12, Gigi Goode.
Did anyone actually think Gigi was going to stumble this week?
Miss Gigi, its okay, says Heidi.
Im going to give you a break from being in the top.
But, much like a Boomer Banks scene, Gigi doesnt want a break from the top.
What else is there to say about Gigi at this point?
Just crown her already.
While everyone is strong, as usual, Gigi is on another level.
(Of course, you have, you watchDrag Race.)
you might almost hear theKill Billsiren reverberating in Jans skull when Ru calls her safe.
I understand why: Jan could not have been better positioned to win this challenge.
Jan is a musical theater Death Star, and she had her planet-destroying sights set onMadonna: The Rusical.
She even hosts Rusical viewing parties for Chrissake!
Jan is technically flawless, and the judges have not one critique.
What will the fallout be next week?
How will Jan react to this stupefying loss?
I pray for us all.
This episode represents a turning point in the season.
With Aiden and Brita gone, fresh new conflicts are arising to fill the void they leave.
Crystal, who had a slow start to the season, is now on an uptick.
The Methmentum is real!
(Crystal, Jaida, Im looking at you!)
And the people who change what people think are artists and drag queens…
It starts with you.
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Im going to be earnest for a second, sorry!
This made me cry like a big dumb gay baby.
Its deeply moving to me.
Now Im crying again!
Jan was aggressively complimented into accepting a role she didnt want.
Producer: Whos Patti LuPone?Gigi: Um.
I know the name?
Gigi is dead to me.
