9/10/2023 0 Comments Symone drag queen beastUtica’s commercial is bonkers as she pitches the aforementioned sunshine/anti-depressant/blood of Christ combo. I’m not saying I’m a furry, but maybe we’re all furries when Symone looks like that. Kandy looks absurd in a latex alien suit with a blow up alien attached to her - the concept is she crashed her UFO and her friend is hurt? Rosé really does look great as she goes full theatre kid committing to her monster walk. Gottmik is a purple monster with big eyes on her shoulders, a teeth skirt, and her nipples as nostrils. Olivia is a turquoise monster thing with horns. Tina is a bunch of stuffed animals sewed together. ![]() Utica looks hot as Maleficent, once again showing she’s a fashion queen, not a comedy queen. Rosé is offering words of comfort, but it looks bonkers because her face is painted red and she has weird troll ears. It’s been so nice seeing Kandy’s journey and watching her realize she doesn’t always have to fight - but still can when necessary. Three other boys tackled her and broke her arm to the point she needed surgery. The conversation pivots to the serious as Kandy talks about being gay bashed in 7th grade. Rosé doesn’t really engage, but admits in the confessional that she definitely thinks she’s funnier than Tina. Even in the taping Symone is the standout as Ross and Carson whisper her praises.Īs they get ready for the runway, Tina and Rosé bicker a bit because Tina takes issue with Rosé calling herself a comedy queen. The other queens range from chaotic to confident. And Olivia struggles because she can’t stop smiling, preventing her makes-you-smile ad concept from having an arc. Tina struggles during the filming as she repeatedly flubs a line. But originality aside I like what Gottmik says about realizing that her personality is part of her brand - she’s more than her mask! Gottmik’s soda makes you “delusional” which I must point out was Jinkx’s perfume concept in her branding challenge. And Gottmik has misunderstood the concept of a storyboard, opting instead for a convoluted text based color coding system. Utica wants to lick her can because it’s unsanitary and fun. Tina’s plan is so elaborate that Olivia calls it a full on movie trilogy situation. The queens are all over the place as they put together their ideas. Whenever she was enjoying herself most was when she did best. And speaking of essence, season 12 winner Jaida Essence Hall is there virtually to offer some words of wisdom! She tells the queens to have fun and that insecurity leads to bad drag. It’s the branding challenge, so each of the queens is tasked with coming up with a soda and making an ad that not only sells the drink but also their very essence. The maxi challenge this week is soda commercials. There are questions about Alyssa Edwards and Lil’ Poundcake and which queen’s catchphrase is Bam! Kandy may not be good at math, but she knows her Drag Race and she wins. ![]() The mini challenge this week is Are You Smarter Than the Pit Crew? Olivia says she loves quizzes with adorable straight A student energy. It’s a new day in the work room and Symone is feeling great! As she should be! Always! She’s feeling so good she tries to stir up some drama by asking who’s surprised to still be there, but no one takes the bait. Olivia refuses to drop her smile as she insists she has no hard feelings against the queens for saying she should go home. ![]() Utica is happy to have finally won - being paired with Symone will help with that - and Kandy says it’s time she show her own winning side. We begin with the goodbye, as Rosé says that she saw her and Denali together in the top four. And by that I mean the queens I personally like are doing well. I must’ve licked sunshine, anti-depressants, and the blood of Christ, because I’m feeling good! After last week’s frustrating goodbye, the Drag Race universe has righted itself.
