We then have a really emotional moment between Mistress and Salina where Mistress opens up about being estranged from her mother. It was funny watching the two play mind games with Marcia, whether it was intentional or not. First, we see Luxx and Loosey basically trying to nicely tell Marcia that she has a lot riding on her performance because she’s alone. The next day as the queens are getting ready, we get my favorite Drag Race cocktail: dramatic manipulation and real human stories. Luxx and Loosey keep commenting on the other person’s joke, Marcia is doing OK, Salina and Mistress are too long-winded and Sasha and Anetra are not being funny at all. I honestly can’t tell if the editors wanted our expectations low for everyone so we would be pleasantly surprised or if they wanted us to not suspect who would win. We are once again seeing everyone struggle. The queens then go to their comedy coaching sessions with Michelle Visage and comedian Ali Wong. Anetra is having a migraine, Luxx and Loosey are brainstorming but are worried about their extreme drive to win being too much for each other and Marcia is overwhelmed. The queens start working on their comedy and it seems like everyone is just unsure. Salina ends up picking Mistress, leaving Marcia alone. Salina is by herself, since she picked the lone flavor - but, in a shocking twist, Salina is told since she did not get a pair, she can either steal someone’s partner or work alone. The queens will be paired up by picking Bubly sparkling water out of a cooler and the queens that get the same flavor are put together.Īfter drawing the cans, the pairs end up being Loosey and Luxx (shocking after their tiff), Marcia Marcia Marcia and Mistress and Sasha and Anetra. The maxi-challenge is announced to be a stand-up comedy challenge in duos. Sasha and Anetra were really strong and I loved Mistress Isabelle Brooks’ take on the challenge, but Anetra ended up winning. Members of the ballroom community have had issues with Drag Race misappropriating ballroom culture, but I think the queens didn’t think what they were doing was going to make them icons in the community. I thought the mini-challenge was really fun. The queens have to get into quick drag and will be participating in a Harlem Vogue Ball, in honor of the Harlem Vogue scene. We finally get RuMail this season leading us into our mini-challenge. I was living for this whole fight because it was just so stupid and so funny. Loosey and Luxx go back and forth about Loosey not having a baby bump for Loosey’s “Love On Top” MTV Video Music Awards runway. The next day, the queens walk into the Werk Room and the second place debate continues. At the end of the day, whether you were second or third, you did not win. I am so sick of these conversations about who almost won the challenge. The queens congratulate Sasha Colby on winning her third challenge, but that is quickly overshadowed by another week of queens - specifically Luxx Noir London and Loosey LaDuca - fighting over who won second place.
