So, Manilas out of here and the girls are gagged.

Gagged, and kind of living.

Gagged, kind of living, and altogether keeping the atmosphere light.

Get help, bitch.

I Dont Think So Honey.

Insert gayass dismissal here.

They all mean the same shit.

As we see, Monet also chose Manila Luzons lipstick.

In the words of Naomi, Lifes not fair.

Basically, were digging into this SJP and Kim feud even further.

It may be reductive!

But Im not mad.

Go back and watch it.

Its still shocking, even now.

This is simultaneously funny and exhausting.

Naomi, bitch, just assign the roles?

But also, I gag on the close-up of the hands.

Who will pick rock?

Who will pick scissors?

And who … will pick paper?

This is aggressively dumb and I love it.

The challenges are clear for each.

Will Trinity be able to nail the famous characterization of Samantha/Kim?

Can Monet play the straight man a la Kristin/Charlotte while also nailing her prude tics?

Can Naomi, not necessarily the most charismatic of the bunch, sell herself as a likable lead?

Will Latrice be able to convince us shes a lesbian politician?

And what the hell will Monique … do?

Director Ross Matthews is on hand to help the ladies slay this gig.

Shes doing drag instead of doing SJP.

This isnt necessarily bad, but we probably need a mix of both at some point.

A funny little montage of Naomi not being able to deliver a line correctly doesnt inspire confidence going forward.

Its only until Monique comes in as K. Jo that real, honest to goodness laughs are had.

Im a Monique Heart stan.

Know that going forward.

I just dont see how Trinity could have screwed up this role for herself.

I am not sure what exactly it is about it.

Its good and I think its an improvement on Monets average runway, but its mouse.

Latrice looks good but doesnt make an effort to truly do the theme.

This is a jungle-themed dress.

An animal dress, to be sure.

There are many animal patterns.

But this runway theme is cat couture.

Fingers crossed her Cynthia is fantastic.

I also dont like Naomi Smalls take on the theme, which feels barebones.

Ms. Smalls certainly frontloaded her runways this season.

It fits exceptionally well, the hat and boots are amazingly complimentary, and her makeup looks fantastic.

Its pussy, bitch.

Ooh, la la la la la la.

BeBe Zahara Benet would gag.

Sex and The Kitty Girl 3is a lot of fun to watch, even if its choppy and uneven.

), and a couple of the performances are really fun.

She does her job, but theres not much of a job to do.

You kind of just have to sit there and react to the bigger characters.

Not faring as well is Naomi, who is just really laying it on too thick as SJP.

Theres none of Sarahs natural effortless charm and ease, which is what made Carrie Bradshaw so beloved.

Even though Carrie lived a large life, we always felt we could identify with her.

Theres nothing identifiable or likable about Naomis crazed, wide-eyed performance.

In contrast with Monique Heart as K. Jo, it looks even worse.

Monique is a really talented comedic actress in that she does a lot but it feels effortless.

Shes just really good at taking space and executing a moment.

It all goes to crazy town when the ladies end up fighting as clowns (?)

but by the time its over its clear who the standouts are.

Trinity is praised for her runway and her performance as Kim, which is well deserved.

I mean, what is there negative to say?

Moving forward into the top four, Trinity is the obvious frontrunner.

Shes just done the best job in the competition so far, objectively.

Monet is told that, yes, this is a mouse costume she is currently wearing.

Im not understanding the praise for Naomis runway, but I am understanding the criticism of her SJP.

Michelle Visage pretty much nails it when she says Naomi was not likable or aspirational in the challenge.

We need to, as the audience, want tobeSarah Jessica Parker.

She didnt need any!

The top two are Trinity and Monique, and the rest of the girls are all up for elimination.

Would it feel right if she werent in the top four?

Its to When I Think of You by Janet Jackson and its a lot of fun to watch.

Manila fans, I see you, I hear you, and I am still sticking to my guns.

(Sorry, that was bad.)

… Said The Bitch!

I dont give a fuck.

Honestly, I dont give afuck.

… Said the bitch!Naomi doesnt give a fuck, yall!

You need it in this competition, especially in its final week.
