That is simply not the case, honey.
Its definitely a wake-up call to future contestants: bitch, keep your goddamn strategy to yourself!
And shes playing to win, not playing around.
Lets start from the beginning.
Everyone has good bone structure!
And you get the sense theyve all put on heels and a little dab of makeup before.
So what Im saying, bitch, is it doesnt matter if your partner is hilarious and energetic!
You have to turn the family resemblance out!
These two have a ton of shiny gold fabric and good chemistry, so we hope for the best.
One of the highlights of this episode is the (televised) return of RuPauls walkthroughs in the workroom.
But its when Ru gets to Naomi that we see why these walkthroughs are so important to show.
like say the wrong thing and like act like a fool, demands Ru.
it’s possible for you to see the light bulb go on in Naomis head.
Okay, fuck, Im crying.I LOVE YOU, BOWEN YANG!
After some eyebrows are removed and some dicks are strapped back, its time to hit the Main Stage.
Can I just say how much I love Rus experimentation on the runway this season?
She is slaying on this episode.
You betterwearthat silver caftan!
Special guest judges are rock royalty Frances Bean Cobain and television royalty Meredith Grey herself Ellen Pompeo.
First, we see the musical tribute to Judy Garland.
The chemistry is really there across the board, even if the best friends arent necessarily performers.
They are also embodying Judy Garland throughout the number and even execute real dance steps.
Comparably, everyone else is just fine.
You get the sense that the majority of the judgment will be based on the impending runway presentations.
So lets talk about those.
Their outfits are the same material … and thats really it.
Is it shady to say Alexis Knight is giving us Sasha Belle?
Monique Heart and Danny, or Shanida Heart, come out with a concept.
This is just really clever and very Monique Heart.
You have to give this queen credit for just how smart and creative she is.
Who thinks to do something like this?
I love it, and Danny moves well on stage.
Family resemblance is a no-brainer.
They literally appear to be one and the same.
For a queen thats so detail-oriented and innovative, she really drops the ball here.
These are white dresses with some elements pasted on to make it sort of a concept.
Forgive the playing cards pun, but there are no tricks up her sleeve.
Iyowife is facially beautiful, though.
She looks like Naysha Lopez.
She took the risk that RuPaul suggested she take earlier, and it pays off.
It checks every box.
This will be difficult to beat this week.
She looks like a goddamn ingenue and knows how to work the runway.
The runway presentation is also not beloved, as it doesnt really scream family members.
Latrice argues that the looks are fire and ice, which I get, as does Carson Kressley.
It still feels like a bottom two moment for Latrice.
Naomi and Monet are the top two, and Latrice and Manila are in the bottom.
This seems like it would be pretty cut and dry, and the contestants treat it that way backstage.
Manila barely feels the need to explain herself or fight to stay.
Shes been nearly perfect in the competition.
And were doing this the fair way, right?
Shes giving you a lip sync performance of great accuracy.
Its just not as fun.
Ultimately, were looking for fun.
And Naomi serves us just that.
And then, the gag.
Revealing Manilas lipstick, Naomi turns the whole thing upside down.
you might really see this going any way from this point on.
That can not have felt good.
… Said The Bitch!
A Weekly Quote Roundup!
Trinity the Tuck on Alexis Knight:In the words of Alyssa Edwards, BEAST!

Honestly, it was just fun to hear Alyssas name.
