But alas, alack; Inner Saboteurs never last.
The tension is thick, but nothing that a She-Done-Already-Done Siren cant cut through.
Screen Ru and I.R.L.
Its a gay hat on another gay hat on a shake-and-go wig and welivefor it, honey.
We also learn the runway category for the episode: RuDemptions of the queens previous fashion fails.
No other show on television can give you such paroxysms of queer joy.
The girls are assigned their divas, given the lip-sync track and,knock knock, whos there?
First of all, we lovingly refer Thorgy totheseincredibleSteviemomentsthat are homosexually relevant.
Are we alone out here?
Professionalism at its gayest and most histrionic, folks.
Milk opens the performance as a raven-haired (?)
Each element is off-kilter in a theoretically fun way, but altogether the ensemble makes no sense.
Its too many unusual things, and Milks opener sets a precarious tone for the number.
Kennedy as Janet Jackson wears an outfit that references no discernible Janet era we know of.
A perfectly suited Trixie slays as Dolly Parton, a diva perfectly suited to her.
Shes also shockingly adept at choreo throughout the number!Okay, hidden talents!Cmon, steps!
The lambs will be pleased.
Thorgys turn as Stevie is fine.
Her lip sync is tight, but wheres the fun?
Blow some lines, girl.
Fall over whilst spinning.Something!
(OMG can you imagine?)
1 diva of all time, Diana Ross.
Its like her Hollywood counterpart Anne Hathaways performance inBrokeback Mountainin that it makes you go, Okay, bitch!
Bebe wraps it all up and simplyisthe divine Ms. Ross: a bouncy-haired, sleepy-eyed sponge for public adoration.
We areso herefor this bitch.
Next, the RuDemption runway is a mixed bag.
Milk serves glamour, but misses the opportunity to heighten a familiar fashionfauxpas and represent her uniqueness.
Its merely solid drag with no frame of reference.
and Trixies ugly couture is laugh-out-loud hideous and therefore exactly right.
And then Shangela rolls in.
Ru is gagged, and so are we.
The critiques are what youd expect.
The judges unfairly gloss over Kennedys runway, but rightly clock her messy performance.
Shangela, Bebe, and Ben receive the praise youd expect, and Thorgy …sigh.
She lands in the bottom two alongside Kennedy, her fate in the hands of Shangela and Ben.
Genuinely confused, Thorgy holds back tears in the workroom.
Shes unable to see what we and the other contestants do: that she is her own worst enemy!
This is baffling considering Milk dodged a huge bullet by not landing in the bottom.
Its a bad look and a sore-loser moment that may start an unfortunate trend.
Are the producers feeding lines to these queens?
Because their behavior is what?
Shangela stays consistent throughout, just as she has all episode long.
Were looking at a top-three contender, people!
