We knew RuPaul, that trickster, would pull a stunt.
This year, it is the Shante, You Both Stay, not seen for quite some time.
Thats what we get in this episode, which is a true nail-biter from start to finish.
This competition is getting fierce.
Its an excuse to show ass, and were not mad at it.
The queens must act in a comedic scene based onWestworld, titledBreastworld.
We mean …Westworld.
Aquaria decides to cast the roles based on the character descriptions and the instincts of all her competitors.
(She is actually correct about this.
Nicole Kidman famously chooses roles based on the wig budget.)
It is part of the Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent rubric, after all!
This brings the queen to tears, and our hearts melt at home, as well.
Its almost like, despite a comedy background, she comes most alive on the runway.
Basically, this scene takes place on a cruise ship where everyone is a robot drag queen.
This would ordinarily be when a director backs off on set, because the No.
But Michelle and Ross are also reality-show personalities.
So theyre actually slaying this!
They also slay at pronouncing the name Ivyyyyyy Winterrrrrs, as does everyone but Eureka.
A vacant robot drag queen?
Thats … notnotyou, girl!
She also struggles to land the emotional beats (yes, theemotional beats) of her characters big monologue.
Asia really takes her space here, and the reaction on set bodes well for her.
In any reality competition, the Top Six are really the stars of the show.
Aquaria looks exactly like Aquaria will look in her 70s, fashion-forward and still serving capital-F Face.
She initially barely makes it down the runway, but when she pops her pills she comes alive.
Its vibrant and different from what anyone else has done.
You just cant deny Kameron on that damn runway!
WatchingBreastworldis a lot like watching the rehearsal, except theres really no one to clock as a failure here.
Funny, charming, and grounded.
Her runway performance, however, is undeniably superior to everyone elses.
The girls slay a lip sync to Patti LaBelles classic New Attitude, and its a true toss-up.
Lo and behold, that still may be true as Eureka is also safe.
We have to agree with the decision, as both gave an incredible, memorable performance.
The bitch was turning it out.
So the Top Six remain the Top Six, even as it seems like the front-runners are firming up.
Asia, Aquaria, and Eureka each have two wins.
Miz Cracker and Monet both have zero, but the competition would be tough to imagine without them.
It may seem like anyones game, but Aquaria seems unbeatable at this point.
The winner of the ball challenge, and Snatch Game?
Tied with the most wins so far?
Never in the bottom two?
The weeks ahead are crucial, but we may have another New York City winner here, folks.
I dont want to do this anymore.
…Said the bitch!!!!
!Michelle has been peak Michelle this season, and we love when shes heavily involved in the challenges.
Shes really the head judge of this show, and a critique from her can send a queen reeling.
