I love the makeover challenge.
First and foremost, watching Jaida transform into a drag Tiger Mom this episode was pure joy.
This is a winning family, she explains to Ru.
She knows that Im a strong mother, and I like winning.
If she does not win?
Maam, yes, maam!
Then, on the runway, Jaida and Jazz are pageant perfection.
Jaida is truly a master of the craft of drag.
From the perfectly executed, matching red sequined outfits to their flawlessly beaten mugs, the Essence-Halls are showstoppers.
Speaking of having a great week, lets talk about Crystal Methyd and her drag daughter, Opal Methyd.
Crystal is paired with Grace.
Its completely excellent, so creative, and the perfect encapsulation of why I love Crystal.
It just might be my favorite makeover of all time.
To top it off, Opal is a lip sync assassin.
She does shoulder rolls, serves face, executes triple snaps to the syllables of Mo-zam-bique …
I think I threw a $20 at my TV screen?
Its all a blur.
The Methmentum is unstoppable!
On the runway, Gigi and Bebe sport black and white fur shift dresses.
Its cute, and the judges correctly give them a passing grade.
Although Gigi inarguably remains one of the seasons strongest competitors, Jaida is right up there with her.
And while Gigi was stumbling the last couple weeks, Jaida used the opportunity to step up.
Now, she has taken Gigis place as the queen to beat.
The next couple episodes are make or break for both queens, and the race is tighter than ever.
Lets talk about Sherry Pie, or more importantly, lets talk about Janet the Planet aka Tara Misu.
Janet had her name legally changed to Janet the Planet as a reminder not to take herself too seriously.
Are you in love yet?
Because Ru sure is, and so am I!
Janet stands at six-feet tall, and has been a fan ofDrag Racefrom the very beginning.
I think my favorite thing about Janet is that shes not just aDrag Racesuperfan, but a drag superfan.
She has Sherrys affect down to a tee, and shes a joy to watch.
Next up Heidi N. Closet, a.k.a.
Heidi Ho, a.k.a.
Heidi Hydrates, a.k.a.
What are we going to do about our dear Heidi?
As usual, Heidi cracks me up every time she opens her mouth.
Heidi is a perfect companion, and lovingly supports her through an ultimately touching moment.
Like, at all.
Its a good question!
Honeys dress is borrowed from another queen, and theres no family resemblance to speak of either.
Its a definite misstep, and a costly one that lands Heidi in the bottom for the third time.
Heidi will remain on our television screens for another week, and (hopefully) many more.
Let the church say Amen!
Jackie Cox also landed in the bottom this week after her makeover of Tiffany, aka Snackie Cox.
In the Werkroom, Jackie is all confidence.
Her daughter is feisty, energetic, and can drop into the splits.
What more could you want out of a baby queen?
Jackie looks cute as usual in a 70s jumpsuit, but Snackies runway presentation is underwhelming.
Ultimately, though, Ru declares both Jackie and Heidi safe.
I wasnt ready to see either queen go, but this twist is starting to feel too gimmicky.
Furthermore, we have now had three episodes this season without an elimination.
I can only hope the producers used some of that extra money to upgrade Dahlias hotel room.
(Sometimes, I imagine her sitting up there bored.
Bring the broccoli costume.
Get a bitch a master suite!)
But while Dahlia is socially distancing, the rest of the queens are at each others throats.
And with Miss Sherry Pie disqualified, the other two spots in the Top Four are still wide open.
Place your bets people!
Its sure to be a photo finish.
It DO Take Nerve!
Quotes that left me mouth agape
YOUR TURN JACKIE.
Jaida Essence Hall
When Jackies daughter drops into the splits, Jackie is all smug before this Jaida smackdown.
Jaida comes for BLOOD.
If you wanna look good, sometimes youve got to sacrifice.
Jaida Essence Hall
Jaida actually becomes the first contestant inDrag Racehistory to advocate amputating a drag daughters limb.
Girl you look better than I have half the season.
