When reached for comment, a CIA black-ops interrogation squad referred to the episode as a bit much.
The first few minutes of this episode give us the highly anticipated epilogue ofRuPauls Psychological Warfare Race.
As it turns out, Elliott is not eliminated at all.
In fact, the queens have voted to send her to the winning team for this weeks episode.
It begs the question: was it worth it, RuPaul?
The rest of the episode represents a far more normie season premiere/RuPaul infomercial (thank god).
I love aDrag Racefashion show, but this one doesnt quite meet the high bar set by previous seasons.
While there are no iconic Violet Chachki two-in-ones, there are definitely a few standouts.
Back in the werkroom, a little drama is already stirring up.
The tension is only exacerbated during the choreo rehearsal.
Elliott doesnt fool them for long, though.
through gritted teeth as they contour on a smile.
Kandy MuseNo shocker here: Kandy performs the shit out of her almost completely unintelligible verse.
Pour one out for the VH1 closed captioner.
Much like her personality, Kandys runways this episode are psychically overwhelming, but extremely entertaining.
LaLa RiLaLa Ri falls towards the bottom this episode.
She definitely has the most pedestrian daytime look, and her verse isnt particularly memorable.
Shes significantly buoyed by her winning personality, which makes her an early frontrunner for narrator of the season.
What can I say?
The girl gives great talking head.
The judges seem entertained, however, and I think she might stick around for some time, yet.
Olivia LuxI said it last week, but it bears repeating: Olivia.
Her looks this week are quite stunning, and she earns her spot in the top two.
To put it bluntly, Symone has two left feet.
She struggles hard in the choreography rehearsal, and its not clear that shell stick the landing.
But when that spotlight hits her, boy does she light up.
Symone is a STAR.
Or, maybe not because in that metaphor wed all go blind I guess.
But were still watching, because shes a star.
Just not … literally.
Symone eats this episode up, and even gets the coveted RuPaul seal of approval.
Tina BurnerTina rounds out the top of the field this episode.
Its quite excellent, and its a hit with the judges.
As Michelle succinctly puts it: This isnt a bar.
(Reader, I guffawed.)
One thing I will say is that Elliott looks technically great this entire episode.
Each look is a finished concept, and seems to understand the assignment.
It all just feels a little hollow.
Props to you, RuPaul, you maniacal genius.
Symone and Olivia Lux take the stage once more to lip sync to Dua LipasBreak My Heart.
Symone is, once again, just irresistible.
Her swag, her comedy, and her body language are all so cohesive and effortless.
She takes her second lip sync win in as many episodes, and it feels very right.
Leaving this episode, this group does indeed feel like our top six (sorry Elliott).
It DO Take Nerve!

LaLa RiThis made me scream.
In one episode?
