I hate the Rusical.
Thats why the ball challenge (three looks in one night!)
is always my favorite.
Without that, we have what seems like a game show that is stuck on autopilot.
This episode starts with another iconic and beloved challenge, the reading challenge.
The only snaps go to Pixie, who says, Baby?
No thanks, Im pro-choice.
Who doesnt love an abortion joke?
Pixie, of course, is the winner.
That means she gets the task of assigning the roles.
Putting the nastiest queen in charge almost ensures it.
This seems to be setting up a friendship between the two but also an ongoing rivalry.
We go through the usual paces of the Rusical.
(OrDancing With the Starsif you only speak America.)
Throughout this process, its hard to tell whos in trouble.
Cheddar cant dance, and neither can Danny.
Baby does well in a patter song as a rich mother.
Not to kink-shame, but not my fetish.
Cheddar is a sexy cockroach and, once again, not my fetish.
The one standout is Danny Beard.
When everyone takes the runway, Danny wows yet again.
Of course, she wins, for the second week in a row.
She may be this years Lawrence Chaney, just destined to take the trophy back to the north.
(Queen of the North!
they chant, like itsGame of Thrones.)
I was a little confused about the judging in this episode.
The judges, however, loved her.
Dakota, naturally, was on the bottom, and she gave usFunny Girlrealness.
This, once again, is my problem with Dakota, who is the prettiest queen of the season.
What we have instead is just a pretty girl.
With no subversion, its just a good costume, not drag.
The final lip sync is between Baby and Dakota.
It made Ru laugh, and the key to winning this competition is always to make Ru laugh.
Im all for taking care of ones mental health, but why do it after the lip sync?
Why not do it onstage?
If this was really about mental health, why not do it in the middle of the week?
BenDeLaCreme self-eliminated when she had the power to eliminate someone else when she was on top.
This is altogether different.
Instead, Baby waited, and well never know if she was actually going to be sent home.
Is she here because she bested Baby, or is she here because Baby quit?
Also, Baby says, if she had stayed, it would have been over for everyone.
But would she have stayed?
Was Ru about to give her walking papers?
Sorry, Baby, I dont think thats fair.
And I still hate the Rusical.
