Okay, Im mad.
The reversal of two eliminationsandthe promise of future saves through stale candy-based shenanigans?
Get these queens OUT!
Though perhaps Im just salty because this means were discussing 14 queens and 42 total looks this week.
This has officially become a recapper labor rights issue!
My laziness aside, the conceit of this weeks challenge is a good one.
The queens are split into two separate balls depending on which premiere episode they starred in.
Lets get into it:
Alyssa HunterAlyssa is probably the safest of all the safe queens this week.
Every look is definitely good, but theres otherwise not too much to say about them.
Her red resort look?
Her Mugler-inspired leopard-print dress?
But that doesnt stop her from beingverybothered inUntuckedat her safe placement.
(Which is just fine by me, by the way!
Whats the point of a backstage after-show if the queens dont bring a little tude?)
Alyssa learns that perhaps her trajectory in this competition wont be quite as straight as she might have imagined.
But not a bad start!
BoscoOf all the queens in the competition, Boscos transformations are the most consistently impressive to me.
Are pants and a matching bralette going to take a queen to a soaring victory?
Probably not, but hey!
Its only week three; whats the rush?
Willow PillYes, Im fully Willow-pilled.
And it seems so are the judges.
The judges heap praise on her as Ru asks, Whered you get your sense of style?
Perfect answer, perfect queen.
Keri ColbyKeri is indisputably beautiful.
To the point where its difficult to peel my eyes away from her face to even examine her garment.
The same cant be said for her animal-print eleganza.
There are feathers where no feathers should be, and theres bunching in places where fabric shouldnt bunch.
Its all very busy, and not helped by the sloppy construction.
KornbreadFor a queen who ends up safe this episode, Kornbread dominates an awful lot of the story.
And for good reason!
As Kornbread discusses her fraught relationship with her family, my heart breaks for her.
I love this queen!
But I can only imagine well be seeing Kornbread back on top very soon.
None of her looks are bad per se.
Id even go as far as to say I enjoyed the leopard-print Xena tribute.
Not a good start.
June JambalayaJunes first look is easily her most successful.
sets her off to a great start.
Unfortunately, its downhill from there.
But much like when Julie Bowen tried it, June wasnt fooling anyone.
Daya BettyDaya Betty (a.k.a.
Miss Daya Bettic) comes back into the competition with a fire under her tushy.
AngeriaProps where props are due: Angeria plays this episode pretty perfectly.
Theyre both hot as hell!
If nothing else, Angeria is a pageant girl, baby.
Jasmine KennedieJasmine is none too pleased with her safe placement this week, as we find out inUntucked.
And I get it!
Clearly a lot of attention and planning went into Jasmines looks.
Better luck next week, queen!
Still rooting for you.
JorgeousOf all the queens this season, I think Jorgeous has shown us who she is most effectively.
Every time she walks the runway, each step is positively filled to the brim with Miami hot-girl energy.
Yes, the garments fit her like a glove, but its more than that.
Sorry, but she didnt miss!
(Very Boston of me.)
Maddy MorphosisMaddy set a high bar for herself after her internet-breaking headless runway last week.
(Well, notliterallyhigh.
She was wearing flats after all.)
But unfortunately, she cant meet it.
Heterophobia prevails tonight, and Maddys lack of It factor lands her in the bottom two alongside June.
The lip-sync is to use a technical recapping term bad.
Was the job done?
Technically, yes, but theres no way shes getting away with it.
So long, queen!
Almost a month later, we finally have our first elimination of the season.
