The judges, however, seem to be experts in the form.
Thankfully, we get some standout performances with a fun premise and an exceptional runway showing.
and then throws it out the window.
And so, now that its finally clear what were all doing here,the game is afoot.
Forget what we said before about it being for the best that we start fresh!
Burn the world, the Vixen!
Unlike Asia OHara, she remembers exactly what show shes on,owkay!?
The opportunity is truly too good for them to pass up.
Over on Team Monet and Kameron, things are off to a slow start.
Monets is the decidedly reserved Ms. Michaels, who hasnt exactly been popping in the personality department thus far.
Blair and Moniques safe word is Vanjie and, you know what?
Now, its ours too.
Thats because Monique Heart is a full star.
Im hisfiancee, coos Monique, and it somehow feels like a heighten.
As a woman addicted to eating her own hip pads, Monet has a difficult time.
Her performance is personable and charming at the start, but the jokes never materialize.
When Ross asks Monet what she thinks of Kamerons addiction, she merely replies that Its disgusting.
She strikes out looking, while Kameron commits to the bit.
Its a singular, surreal Cracker move, and it kills.
What could have been a direct roast of those two queens feels like a half-baked, unrehearsed inside joke.
You cant leave a scene partner out to dry like that, girl!
We should have rehearsed, concludes Asia, who is justmadeof Hot Takes this week.
In a performance that will surely make villainess the Vixen shout Curses!
So it all works!
A tour de force,hawney.
Eureka asks to shake hands and the Vixen, somehow endearingly, says no.
Shania politely says thank you and its over.
It is simultaneously ho-hum and the most exciting non-fashion related thing thats happened with Kameron thus far.
We are into this queen much more than we thought we would be, but are waiting forsomething.
Give us a big moment!
Get your hands dirty, Kameron!
Butch queen get filthy!
Monet sullenly receives negative feedback on her ill-fitting assless onesie as well as her performance in theBossy Rossychallenge.
Asia fucked the challenge up for them by missing cues left and right.
So much for being best girlfriends all episode!
Eurekas feedback is extremely positive all around, as expected.
I saw [the garment] and I was like, Oh!
she explains, and the judges fall out laughing.
It is at this point that we have to start asking: Will Monique Heart run in 2020?
Mayhems pink denim is not reading asobviouslydenim, and is a touch Halloween costume for us.
Her explanation that she wanted to appear as The Chocolate Judd is funny, but it doesnt read.
A Pippy Longstockinginspired Miz Cracker is encouraged to continue with her bizarre comedic ways.
She continues to be a front-runner.
While that checks out, it sinks in that we are going to lose one of these amazing queens.
The lip sync is to Twains Man, I Feel Like A Woman!
and Monet simply does more with it from an entertainment perspective.
She just has to start bringing it, likeyesterday.
SAID THE BITCH!
A Weekly Quote Spotlight
Monet on Kameron: She might have been homeschooled, or something.
…SAID THE BITCH!!!!!
This attack on Kamerons intelligence is also an attack on alternative education!
Jeez, Monet,okay!
So youre a rocket scientist.
That dont impress us much.
