And much like the Milgram participants, Im kinda down to see where this is going!
Jan, of course,badlywants to win.
But more than that, she wants to do the right thing.
And by do the right thing, I of course mean confirm no one is ever mad at her.
Therein lies her first mistake.
But Jans struggles dont end there; they continue throughout this weeks challenge and well into deliberations.
So lets get to it.
Up first, discussing the topic of sex, its Trinity, AKeria, and Eureka.
Much like a real talk show, these three-queen panels consist of semi-spontaneous, outlined-but-not-scripted banter.
I love this detail (and wish we could hear more!
Green-light this crew for five more seasons!
Rounding out the bunch, Eureka excels as the de facto moderator.
Shes quick, engaging, and gets in some great jokes to boot: Whats this about chubby chaser?
Bitch, Im not running nowhere!
Jan, however, is just along for the ride.
just doesnt quite hit the same.
We learn about Scarlets lovely two moms who found each other late in life (Sherry Squared!
This group, while notably less strong than the previous one, wasnt bad at all!
The judges, though, seem to disagree.
RuPaul in particular comes down hard on Scarlet for … being funny?
The critiques are surprising to me and feel more than a little contrived, but are damning nonetheless.
It seems like a wrap for Scarley … that is, until she launches one final, desperate gambit.
What did they say about you, babe?
I got pretty rave reviews, she replies matter-of-factly.
Which would make Scarlets statement … a full lie.
But the gag is?
It goes completely unchallenged.
Two, the sincerity of the lie makes the girls whowereonstage question their interpretation of the critiques.
And most importantly, three, it gaslights the hell out of the now extremely mentally fragile Jan. Scarlet is the Sun Tzu ofAll Stars6.
I wouldve been dead wrong.
Serves me right for underestimating Ginger Minj.
Thank God for streaming!
Ginger earns a win and a whopping $30,000 for the three-minute performance.
Thats Jeff Bezoslevel wealth accumulation right there.
(A future lip-sync assassin, perhaps!)
But back to the question on everyones mind: Did Scarlets machinations work?
Did she convince Ginger?
Is Jan about to go all Carrie-at-the-prom on live TV?
Or at least not yet.
But for keeping us on the edge of our seats throughout the last quarter of this episode?
I tip my wig to you.
See you next week!
