A very very quick runthrough this week as we were busy with Cannes mania and Drag Race basically tread water with no one drowning this week. The episode peaked early with a mini-challenge involving a supersized Pit Crew and lots of ass. RuPaul was right when she suggested it should be its own spin-off. In this matching underwear game, Aquaria proved the most adept at remembering butts. Hmmmm...
You're a winner, baby
Asia O'Hara won this week's competition but in truth no one really nailed both challenge and runway in which the Queens had to imagine themselves as old ladies. Asia may have been the most consistently decent at both challenges but a win? Aquaria was much stronger in the actual acting challenge.
Sashay away
And no one sashayed away after a very spirited lipsynch from both Eureka and Kameron. Was this a filler episode? The script for Breastworld was hatefully bad despite a promisingly goofy concept. And that wasn't the Queens fault!
Name dropping
