Well, Drag Race followers, we’ve been questioning when this was lastly going to occur, and now it has.
I’m speaking, in fact, in regards to the present’s elusive double shantay, which we bought on the finish of Friday’s episode, the final one earlier than the grand finale airs in two weeks.
The remaining 4 queens — Anetra, Luxx Noir London, Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Sasha Colby — had been tasked with writing and performing unique verses for RuPaul’s “Blame It on the Edit,” which each Anetra and Mistress in all probability wish to do after watching their performances within the problem. Not solely had been their verses missing in comparison with the opposite two queens, however additionally they struggled with facets of the choreography. (Personally, I don’t assume you even have to trouble with choreo once you’ve bought strikes like Anetra, however who am I to guage?)
On the flip facet, we should focus on absolutely the top-to-bottom perfection that was Sasha’s efficiency on this problem. The verse was sturdy, in fact, however it was these appears to be like — each the sexed-up alien fantasy and the jaw-dropping Pam Anderson-as-Barb Wire quantity — that certainly secured her a well-deserved fourth win.
RuPaul promised the queens on the high of the episode that certainly one of them can be despatched packing this week, so Anetra and Mistress had been compelled to lip sync for his or her lives to the tune of David Guetta and Kelly Rowland’s “When Love Takes Over.” A superb tune. An excellent tune.
And it’s laborious to say that each queens didn’t carry their A-game. Anetra gave us the entire signature tips and treats we’ve come to anticipate from her lip syncs, whereas additionally serving Detox-level face comedy, and Mistress made the most effective of a heavy robe by giving a basic park-and-bark efficiency — and she or he had us feeling e-mo-tion.
So it actually didn’t come as a shock when Ru introduced that, “for the first time this season,” we had a double shantay on our arms. As Luxx identified earlier within the episode, Drag Race hasn’t had a Top 3 since Season 8. And I believe it’s secure to say that we by no means will once more.
Anyway, this adjustments completely nothing: Anetra, Luxx, Mistress and Sasha stay within the operating to turn out to be America’s Next Drag Superstar, and they’ll all return for the grand finale in two weeks.
Your ideas on this week’s episode? That double shantay? The Top 4 usually? Whatever’s in your thoughts, drop it in a remark beneath.
