RuPaul's Drag Race S2E3
"I'll change at the gas station, Mama, and you won't even know!"
So this week, the focus is on Ru's country queen past, which means we're smack dab in the middle of a gay Hee-Haw for the rest of the hour. If that doesn't spell Emmy, we don't know what does.
But first, the queens have to eat fried bull testicles because that's how they roll in the country.
Next, it's off to the Gay Ole Opry.
Subtle.
Scary drag baby.
Perfect drag baby. Look, she even used makeup to make her mouth tiny. She may be a bitch, but she's gorgeous and she has great instincts.
Our girl Pandora has been struggling in the competition, so we were really hoping she'd pull it out for this one and thankfully, she did. She was the only one who had real comic timing and knew how to make the lines work. Plus her look was flawless.
There's just something about a hyperactive gay Puerto Rican drag chicken, don't you find?
"Judy Garland at the end of her career" drag chicken. He was way too hung up on the fact that he couldn't make it pretty. Result? The saddest, most serious drag chicken we've ever seen.Not that we've seen a lot. Well, okay. A couple. It was the '80s, what can we say?
LUV HUH.
LUV HUH.Okay, dress up time! Cowgirls to the catwalk, please!
Cute. A little too Honky Tonk Barbie, if that makes any sense. She has a fabulous walk, though.
Also cute. The cherry was a nice touch.Although we have to say, we were a little disappointed at how cliche a lot of the costumes were.
Case in point. It seems like too many of them went either the L'il Abner or Cowgirl Barbie look. Still, Raven has amazing transformative skills.
Another Barbie.
This wasn't so much "country" as it was "flygirl lumberjack."
Oh, Miss Pandora. This is tragic Thriftstore Barbie in a handmade outfit. We love your comic skills, but you really need to bring the glamour to the runway soon or we're afraid the judges are going to get bored.
This at least had a realness that took it from Barbie to Urban Cowgirl territory. She looked pretty amazing.
Tragic.Mystique is never gonna be world class until she learns to turn her pain into fabulousness. Right now, she's got way too much of a chip on her shoulder.
We really loved this look because it was the only one that really said Contemporary Country. You could absolutely see any of dozens of singers wearing this to perform. It wasn't a caricature.
The thing about Miss Tyra is, she's so pretty she can make cliched looks like this work on the catwalk. The judges are quite open about seeing her potential to be world class.
In the end, she was pretty enough to make a tablecloth work - and to her credit and our surprise, funny in the commercial - and won the challenge.
This is the second week in a row Miss Dourpussy obsessed over another queen and then wound up lip synching for her life with that very queen. She needs to stop focusing on the competitors and start focusing on herself.
Although really, having them lip synch was just a formality. It was obvious which queen had more potential.
We're glad that a big girl made it this far. Porkchop was knocked out in the first round last season which was disappointing because if there's one arena where big girls can work their size to their advantage, it's the drag world. Someday a big girl is gonna win this competition, we have no doubt.But like we said, Mystique was self conscious and bearing the wounds of a lot of mean words and it just came through loud and clear through the makeup. We're not saying she doesn't have potential, but she's got a lot of work to do.
On the other hand,
You can't fault her lack of sass.[Screencaps: Projectrungay.blogspot.com]

RuPaul's Drag Race S2E2
"Oh my God, I'm in a group with Satan's baby."
Gratuitous and disgusting objectification. You can send your complaints to whocareswhatyouthink@tomandlorenzo.com.
It amazes us how they can come up with so many appropriate challenges for a drag queen reality contest. Forcing queens to play with dolls is like forcing a fat kid to eat a cupcake. All you have to do is point them in the right direction and they'll take off.
So Sahara and Pandora win the doll showdown, next stop?
Stripperville!
Pardon us, "Burlesqueville." And after indulging the queens by giving them dolls to play with...
...they then turned to punishing them by forcing them to look at gyrating ladybits.Gyrating Ladybits will be the name of our band.
And what the hell was up Miss Sourpants' cooter? Isn't that always the way with the prettiest girls? Always the biggest bitch in the room.
Kim Coles, whatever happened to her? We always thought she was a really talented comedian but she kind of dropped off the radar after the '90s.
And let's face it, they couldn't have found a better judge than Miss Dita, who not only is the current reigning queen of burlesque; she's also basically the world's foremost anatomically correct drag queen.
Now kittens, if there's one thing we love about reality television...
It's watching the participants make utter fools of themselves.
And yet, something about this challenge wasn't clicking with us. For one, "sexy" is a very small subset of the drag world. The vast majority of drag queens don't go for the kind of sexy that straight men like. It just felt like none of the dolls were enjoying themselves.
Granted, that's why they call it a challenge, but still. Then there were the shots of the "audience" and kittens, we don't believe for a second that any of those men were straight. Not least because you'd be hard pressed to find a dozen straight men on short notice willing to throw money at half naked lady men. Besides, we've got the gaydar and it was pinging loudly every time they panned the "crowd."If they really wanted to do it, they should have sent them in to a strip club already packed with patrons to see how they handled it. As it is, the whole thing came of a little too staged.
So let's watch the queens do what queens do best: play dressup.
Love the dress and she really is striking. She's got a mouth on her, but Miss Ru slapped her down. We'll see if she learns the lesson.
We are not loving this look. That headpiece or hat or whatever it is, is weird. And the dress is a bit too low-rent drag queen for us. Jessica is not one to watch, but we could be wrong about that.
Dark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one, bitches!
She is definitely at the top of the list. She didn't do so hot this week, probably because she seemed inexplicably threatened by Nicole Paige, but her transformation is amazing.
Fabulous. But we like her better when she's working a Sheree from Real Housewives look.
Oh, Miss Pandora.
You have us very concerned. You are our favorite and you really seem to be floundering here. Are the prettier girls getting the best of you? Because honey, when there are prettier girls in the room, it's best not to wear a floor-length house dress. Step it up. This is your second disappointing catwalk experience and we will be very upset if you go home.
We repeat: J'DORE JUJUBEE.She's one of the best at giving face.
Another one who seems rattled by the prettier girls.
Although we're not sure why. She could be quite beautiful and glamorous if she wanted to be. She could easily work a Sandra Bullock look.
Mystique also gives really good face, but that girl is a BITCH. But hey, at least she's not worried about the prettier girls.
Did not like this look at all. Like most drag queens, all of her makeup skills are stage-based, so her face comes off really harsh on television. She could easily be the prettiest of the girls, but that doesn't seem to be her thing.
Bitch could be an honest to god model if she wanted to. And if she wasn't such a moody bitch. We want to root for her, but her personality is making it a bit tough.
Didn't much like this look either. We're not crazy about the wig and the dress looks a little cheap.
In the end, it was poor Miss Nicole Paige who went home. We were sorry to see her go, but we can't really argue with the decision. For whatever reasons, she just wasn't able to reach deep down inside herself and find her inner CharismaUniquenessNerveTalent. This was no time to be the southern belle. Unless that southern belle is Miss Scarlett O'Hara, because that bitch got whatever she wanted.
