Properly, Drag Race followers, we’ve been questioning when this was lastly going to occur, and now it has.
I’m speaking, in fact, concerning the present’s elusive double shantay, which we bought on the finish of Friday’s episode, the final one earlier than the grand finale airs in two weeks.
The remaining 4 queens — Anetra, Luxx Noir London, Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Sasha Colby — have been tasked with writing and performing authentic verses for RuPaul’s “Blame It on the Edit,” which each Anetra and Mistress in all probability need to do after watching their performances within the problem. Not solely have been their verses missing in comparison with the opposite two queens, however in addition they struggled with features of the choreography. (Personally, I don’t suppose you even must hassle with choreo whenever you’ve bought strikes like Anetra, however who am I to evaluate?)
On the flip facet, we should focus on absolutely the top-to-bottom perfection that was Sasha’s efficiency on this problem. The verse was robust, in fact, however it was these seems to be — each the sexed-up alien fantasy and the jaw-dropping Pam Anderson-as-Barb Wire quantity — that absolutely secured her a well-deserved fourth win.
RuPaul promised the queens on the prime of the episode that one in all them could be despatched packing this week, so Anetra and Mistress have been compelled to lip sync for his or her lives to the tune of David Guetta and Kelly Rowland’s “When Love Takes Over.” A superb tune. An excellent tune.
And it’s laborious to say that each queens didn’t convey their A-game. Anetra gave us all the signature methods and treats we’ve come to anticipate from her lip syncs, whereas additionally serving Detox-level face comedy, and Mistress made the most effective of a heavy robe by giving a basic park-and-bark efficiency — and she or he had us feeling e-mo-tion.
So it actually didn’t come as a shock when Ru introduced that, “for the primary time this season,” we had a double shantay on our fingers. As Luxx identified earlier within the episode, Drag Race hasn’t had a High 3 since Season 8. And I feel it’s secure to say that we by no means will once more.
Anyway, this modifications completely nothing: Anetra, Luxx, Mistress and Sasha stay within the working to grow to be America’s Subsequent Drag Celebrity, and they’ll all return for the grand finale in two weeks.
Your ideas on this week’s episode? That double shantay? The High 4 typically? No matter’s in your thoughts, drop it in a remark under.
