With Plastique gone, the competition has gotten real.
And weve got a couple Hermione Grangers in our midst!
They cant do magic like her, but they can turn a look.
(We all remember her garment at the Yule Ball inThe Goblet of Fire.Wealldo!
All of us.)
This is a lot to explain.
This challenge exists so we can see nearly naked men, and thats fine.
You dont want to bring work into the bedroom.
You want things to stay fresh.
Okay, sidebar: Im guessing these two have not had #conjugaltime, right?
The show would probably frown on this, correct?
Contestants like Willam have supposedly gotten the boot for getting it in, yes?
Bitch, I dont know.
I also dont know about Chris Pratt anymore.
I couldnt buy intoAvengers: Endgamebecause the whole time Im like, this guys crazy though, right?
Anyway, back to my job.
Shuga Cain will also, at the very least, be reliable.
Meanwhile, Team Vanjie is feeling like they can improvise.
These are, of course, famous last words.
Very few people in this world who have committed to just doing improv have made it.
No, but, they will probably be messy if they dont prepare.
The girls get some time with a real live magician for prepare for the main challenge.
Yes, these queens are going to learn magic tricks done on a professional level in mere hours.
I dont mean to talk down to any magicians.
So theyve thrown some stuff together, allegedly, that is more suitable.
Whatever is going on is seriously grinding AKerias gears, as the usually positive queen seems downbeat and unhappy.
Its time to stop setting the other queens up for success.
Its time for Nina to un-hurt her butt.
Nina is far and away the star here.
And she performs it all the way to the hilt.
she screams, like a goddamn drag queen, whenever she pulls off a trick.
Its fabulous and funny.
But by the time weve registered that almost nothing happened with Shuga, weve moved on to Brooke.
Its a Reverse Shangela!
Magic…magic…magic.
By comparison, the other team, Da Black Magic, is dull and unrehearsed.
Compared to the other group, this looks amateur.
Judging by what we see, Yvie is in trouble.
Her magic trick (pulling out a bra from… her bra?
Vanjie also isnt impressive.
Caftan Realness is overall fun to watch, as there are some real slays.
And Nina West, in my favorite look of the week, belongs at that same pool.
I just really buy her whole story in this shimmering look.
Getting ready for a long day … of sitting, West purrs, and Im fully on board.
She is giving us prayer hands, but her hands are behind her?
Her body continues to horrify, impress, and amaze all at once, which is Yvies whole thing.
Ten points to Slytherin (which I feel is right for Yvie).
Over at Gryffindor, Vanjie looks fantastic.
Wealthy white woman on vacation, indeed.
In minutes, Michelle will call this her favorite look of the week.
A big win for her.
AKeria is fully wearing what isnota caftan, and its by far her weakest look of the season.
She is joined rightfully by Vanjie, and this is gonna be a tough one.
Was Shuga the worst of the week?
Would we rather have Vanjie in the competition?
I mean, yeah!
The lip sync shows why.
Shuga holds her own, but its no match for the relentless emotion Vanjie is bringing to this.
She just has star quality, and she serves it here.
She also serves us a little bit of nipple, which doesnt make me mad.
Shuga Cain leaves us, and she may not really understand why, but I do.
She is an excellent drag queen, but this is a television show.
We need magic characters to keep the magic alive.
So unfortunately, bitch, Alakazam!
Big ups to Nina West for her Big W this week, as its well deserved.
The question is, how much longer can Vanjie hold on?
How much longer until she, yet again, Miss Vanjies?
Is it too late to turn it all around?
No, but seriously, do you think Vanjie and Brooke have banged?
