Summary

In this episode of Sibling Rivalry's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 recap, hosts Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change discuss the "Good Morning Bitches" talk show challenge where queens compete in pairs to host a live-to-tape morning show segment. The episode culminates in a lip sync for your life between Nene Coco and Juicy Love Dion, with Nene advancing to the top three alongside Mikey Meeks and Darlene Mitchell.

Insights
  • Group challenges requiring real-time chemistry and co-hosting synergy are difficult to execute well; finding rhythm with a partner takes time even under pressure cooker conditions
  • Judges' perception of performance is heavily influenced by tone and delivery—sexual innuendo fails when it's not funny, regardless of effort or boldness
  • Underdog appeal in reality competition voting often outweighs perceived merit; social media engagement shows Darlene has significant fan support despite not being the technical frontrunner
  • Sobriety narratives carry disproportionate emotional weight in judging, potentially overshadowing other performance metrics or challenge execution
  • Final challenge design choices (format, costume constraints) can inadvertently disadvantage certain competitor types, raising questions about fairness in elimination decisions
Trends
Reality TV judging increasingly values emotional narrative and personal journey over pure performance metricsUnderdog contestants generate higher social engagement and fan loyalty than technical favoritesCo-hosting and partnership challenges expose authentic chemistry gaps that solo performance challenges maskSobriety and recovery narratives function as powerful emotional anchors in competition judgingFashion design and graphic design backgrounds correlate with distinctive visual drag aestheticsLive-to-tape format creates editing ambiguity that undermines stated 'live' challenge parametersSexual humor in drag performance requires precise comedic timing; shock value alone doesn't guarantee laughsContestant styling consistency (signature elements like shoes or silhouettes) becomes a double-edged sword—memorable but potentially limitingTop-tier finalists often have complementary skill sets rather than overlapping strengthsSocial media metrics diverge significantly between platforms (Instagram vs. Twitter), suggesting different audience demographics and voting behaviors

This episode is sponsored by Airbnb. I've been having so much fun partying with Airbnb because between drag gigs, filming, and touring, I'm always on the move. And hotel life can be pretty draining. I'm serious, y'all. Booking stays with Airbnb has changed the game when I go on tour. I love having extra space to spread out and it's those extra everyday comforts, you know what I mean? Like sitting at a real kitchen table or having a cozy living room. That makes it all the different. Traveling this way just feels more authentic and human. So glad we've been tripped by using Airbnb to find an amazing place to stay. slash next hire and sponsor your job today. Rone, would you like to have anybody today? Did you have... Now we're coming back. And now you sound your bit to a fresh take. Yeah. Yeah, whatever. That's a good bit. I thought it was funny. Y'all, to quote Bob the Dragon, I am not well today. Bob, I've been, I've literally been peeing from my butthole for the past 24 hours. Jesus, that was graphic. God, I'm so graphic. That's right. Crazy. I mean, we're all human. We all do it sometimes. All I said was that was graphic, which is true, by the way. That was very graphic. Girl, I think it was Raising Cane. I had Raising Cane yesterday. So how my brain works, when I have a food that I get sick on, I will never eat that food ever again. So I'm kind of happy because then I won't eat it. That's the first thing you eat food you've gotten sick on before. You mean like for a long time or never again? Never again. What did you see me that I ate that I got sick on? Cheese is not—you've never made sick off cheese? No. Like stomach flu sick? No. There are three foods. One is curry chicken with noodles. When I was 10 years old, I had curry chicken noodles. I got very sick from it, so I never ate that ever again. I will never eat curry chicken noodles again. And then when I was in high school, I got sick. I got salmonella from a McChicken at McDonald's, and I have never had a McChicken since that day. You've only been sick off of food like three times in your whole life? Yeah, like diarrhea, like nausea sick? Yeah. Lucky you. Does this happen to you every weekend? No, but more than three times in my life. Yeah, more than three times food has made me sick. I have gotten food poisoning. I mean, I've gotten straight up food poisoning, not just getting sick. I've gotten straight up like food poisoning several times. Really? I've never been sick from food. Never. See, it's never happened to Jay. Jay, you've never had food poisoning? No. That's wild. I've never had food poisoning maybe like six or seven times in my life, maybe. Yeah, what'd you eat like that? You know, shellfish that's bad or... You never had like a shellfish thing? Shellfish, a lot of people get to call shellfish. Say it again. Shellfish. No, you said felsish. Self-shelfish. Any general, ladies and gentlemen, this is not sibling sickery. This is sibling watchery where we recap episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race season 18. Can you say a very selfish shellfish? A very selfish shellfish. Can you say a shellfish is very selfish when she's feeling her selfish? Bitch, can you say it? Can you say a shellfish is very selfish when she's feeling her selfish. What to say one more time? A shellfish is very selfish when she's feeling her selfish. A shellfish is very selfish when she's feeling her selfish. Her selfish. What are we doing today? What is this, Yolanda? This is a mohawk. It's cute. Look at this. This is a mohawk. That's cute, right? Yeah. Yeah, there's something to it. Yeah. Do you know who his hair looks like? Who? Who? Looks like a little mama. Mariah Escobar no this does look like Mariah Escobar's hair Mariah was red no Bob you know whose hair this is Mariah's hair is red yes I haven't seen Mariah in a really long time no you know who this looks like Glozell yes but I'm talking about I've gotten it right twice hallelujah oh it's like changing his real hair yeah I guess it's a lot bigger but yeah, it does kind of look like her hair. Big girl! And Alyssa Edwards too? People in the comments said I'm triggered by this hair from this week's episode. Y'all are doing too much on this episode. Jesus Christ. Calm down. At the top of the episode, we said this is for entertainment purposes. Why is everyone so up in arms? And also, I'm sorry, the comments saying like, of course, of course, even their therapist is white. he's not my therapist he is he was he did a a therapy version for you know our thing um but yeah yeah guys you got me i do know white people you got me but also the truth is it doesn't matter how many black people you know like they made their mind up that we only know white people it doesn't it doesn't matter how many black people we know it literally doesn't it's not it's not a factor it doesn't matter it doesn't matter how many people work at purse first studios it doesn't matter how many friends we hang out with, it literally doesn't matter. They've just decided that we only talk to white people. They've made their minds up. That's what it is. Ashana said, I like the episode. The wig was so distracting. I don't know. Yo, this is my new boy wig. I wore this when I flew home this weekend. I was at the airport just like this. I wore a big wig at the airport one time. This one kid kept looking at me and it really pissed me off. So I look back. If your kids look at me, I mug them back. I just want y'all to know that. If your kid stares at me, I'm mugging back. You're home, bitch. Why didn't we come over here? Oh, I don't know. I don't know if you were home. Weren't you just somewhere? Yeah, you were somewhere too. They got planes. I thought you were Friday, Saturday, Sunday. You were Thursday, Friday, Saturday? We just did four shows at work. Got to tell y'all, five show weekends. I'm very, really quick, shout out to all the people in Dallas who came out to see the High Heels Bad Knees Comedy Tour. I'm very grateful for y'all. I had what an amazing set of shows. over a thousand of you guys came out. I am very grateful. Five show weekends. I feel like today, I feel like someone ran a bus over me. Don't, aren't you exhausted for five shows? Grease do eight a week on Broadway. No, but, but I've also done a five show weekend on Broadway too. Five shows in one weekend on Broadway. I mean, well, I never have. Well, so, you know, it's a lot, but I did it. Oh, yes. So what y'all can do is, y'all, I am, I still have more dates. Next, this coming week, I am in Madison, Wisconsin. I'm in Madison, Wisconsin at one of the greatest comedy clubs in America, Comedy on State. Look at all the white people in your video, in your picture, dancing with you. And I'm coming to Chicago and Milwaukee next weekend. So if you listen to this, go to Chicago at the Park West. I really want to sell the Park West out, y'all. So please, if you're in Chicago, tell your friends and your cousins to come see me at the Park West in Chicago on April 16th. Thank you. And just so you guys know, I just did some shows at the Funny Bone in Kansas City. It was nice. Fantastic. I'm doing the show at the Comedy Store. It's a very small show. Me, Zach Noe Towers, Jasmine W., and a couple of other comedians will be doing the show there. I'm in Dayton, Ohio at the Dayton Funny Bone. I'm going to be—that's on April 10th and 11th. And then on April 17th, 18th, and 19th, I'll be in Greenville, South Carolina at the Comedy Zone. At some point, we got to talk about Repulse Drag Race, right? at some point we're gonna have to have a conversation about Paul's Drag Race so well this week the girls are coming after one of the front runners of the season Jane Donne got eliminated and um the girls are feeling it Darlene is boo-hooing bitch she is sobbing crying throwing up peeing she is very broken up about Jane's elimination I didn't know they were that close I had no clue I know Paul's Drag Race like Paul's Drag Race I've seen a lot of their post together they clearly have like uh have made a strong friendship but she said that jane made her feel worthy of being in the competition and i just have to say like so before so if jane don't wasn't there you would have felt like you weren't worthy to be on draggries and i guess i never felt that even even season 10 when i was not my best and i wasn't uh the fiercest i could be i still felt felt very worthy to be there i didn't feel like i i guess i'm also not someone i don't really suffer from imposter syndrome like that i don't know i don't know maybe she i actually can't figure out what's going on but she you know she doesn't get out she doesn't have a lot of drag sisters she lives in her she's she stay at home she's right at home so maybe it's her first time having a real sisterhood it seems like the last time she was up in drag was she was uh maybe maybe doing a little little drinking yeah you know booze the booze was flowing back then but jane's elimination seems to hit people there seems to be the the roughest elimination this season the girls are really hit feeling it and then when they reset they kind of realize oh shit the biggest competition is gone ding dong the witch is dead and now they're feeling good about themselves again yeah and i also i think it's so funny like because y'all these girls are broken up they're tired they're they're crying they're so they're like dry heaving crying and then five minutes later. Woo! Top four! Guys, honey, we're the top four. I was like, damn, y'all really move on really quickly, huh? Ashana888 says, Jane posted about her experience with Darlene and said the feeling was mutual. They bonded there. By the way, if you guys want to join us and watch us live as we record these, you can join our Patreon at the very top tier. But yeah, I mean, obviously, they're probably going to feel good that she's not there, but it did her because it seems like Jane really just got along with everyone. Everyone seems to like Jane no one seems to have anything bad to say about her people just really, the only thing they had to say was like wow she's doing really well but no one seemed no one seemed to have any beef or issue with Jane so the next day RuPaul tells the girl they're going to be doing a morning show while working in pairs and they have to film it live to tape we're going to do it, what is it fuck it, we're going to do it live we'll do it live, fuck it it's called Good Morning Bitches and I think they've done iterations of this before right, they did a on season nine. I think they did another one. They've done this kind of talk show. I don't know if it's ever been packaged as a daytime talk show before, but they've done this talk show iteration in past seasons before. And also, a quick shout out. We have a show called The Morning Show over at PFS, Press Press Studios. You can catch it. This week was me and Pink Fox. We have Zach Noe Towers, Amber Wallin, Jasmine W. Mene Lechero. Mene Lechero, Kevin Sullivan, Solomon Giorgio. some really, really great comedians. A lot of black people. Sorry, I'm so upset about it. And, yeah, the girls had to work in the peers. But they're all some white people. Don't sue me. They're working in periods, which, again, I've said this several times. I don't have a group project, but, and it being, why do you think they didn't do a music video this year? Or a song, dance? I don't know. Does RuPaul have a new song? I don't know. They should have done some kind of. I do think that for a last challenge, this was kind of whack. It felt very anticlimactic. It was very boring. I mean, my final challenge of my season was also not. We did that spoof on Strangers with Candy. Was our final day on the day. No, wasn't it the realness? Oh, shit. It was the realness. You're right. Never mind. It was the realness. Yeah. Which was great. Never mind. That was fantastic. I love that. That's that shot of kimchi on that damn table looking like a damn drowning salmon. I thought she looked great. Kemp, you had the best shot. Well, when y'all were filming it, when they were like, because she remembers she was on the table, she was getting wrapped up in the thing, she was falling off of the thing. I remember when she was... But then she hit that little pivot, that little turn, and she looked really good. So Bunny Rancher said, anything to get rid of Juicy. Now, that's a conspiracy on Twitter and threads. People are like, oh, y'all, I don't think they're modifying challenges to specifically get rid of girls. You think Juicy... They built their whole set just to get rid of Juicy. That's what I'm saying. Like, that's not practical. Like, sure, Juicy didn't shine in that type of challenge, but I do not think Dragos is spending all their resources. Like, we got to get rid of her. Like, I don't think that's how that works. Also, No Shade, based on the challenges we've seen, it would not be hard to get rid of Juicy. I mean, Juicy flopped at all. Guys, No Shade, a lot of challenges. She got a lot of help along the way. Well, I think they're saying that's why they didn't do a dancing one because she'll be a Shore in. Like, she will be a Shore. But I don't think that. The video is never really about dancing. What music video challenges about dancing? I mean, you dance in them. It's a small part of it. But what music video was like, this is all about the dance? Well, it's performance. And dance is a big part of the performance. Yeah, but I don't know. I've seen a lot of people do a lot of things in videos that are camp and fun. It's not just about dancing really well. I mean, in ours, arguably, Chi-Chi was the best dancer out of our group. But she didn't make the cut in the last episode. And I don't think it was because of her dancing. Anyway, what I'm saying is a bit of a stretch, is what I'm saying. Yeah. And the girls get to choose their partners. So they all... And Mikey does not want to work with Juicy. Mikey's like, ooh. I mean, she helped her win RDR Live. She's like, not again. She's like, not on my watch. Not on my watch will you disrespect another woman. Because if you do it to her, you'll do it to me. And you don't have my consent to disrespect me. that is a Oprah quote that's a Yon La Venza not a West Korean I know I know I know I know I know do you know you bitch you think I just I just discovered the fucking internet yesterday well then why did you say Oprah because that's her best friend you're my best friend alright that's quite the connection you made there they were best friends I don't think a Yon La and Oprah Oprah's best friend is Gail and has always been a Yon La was never Oprah's best friend they were friends we were best friends I know you're making this up. Oprah's best friend has historically been Gail for a long time. Ayala Vanzette was never Oprah's best friend. They were good friends. They were good friends. Ayala was Oprah's employee. She was her employee. They were never like, we are buddies. And you're my employee. And you're my employee. And I'm yours. Correct. Why I gotta be a bitch? See, I don't know why do you have to be a bitch. The next day, so they decided to work in pairs. The pairs are Nene Coco and Juicy. and then Mikey Meeks and Darlene Mitchell. And off rip, I already know Darlene and Mikey are going to win. Off rip. This is not a question for me. I've been done, been knew the other team was going to go down. This is not, but Mikey and Darlene, like, Mikey was like, Darlene, have you ever hosted anything? But did Mikey forget that Darlene does drag in her bedroom? But I mean, she may still have done a little something here and there. You know, you never know. She said, I don't leave my bedroom. I have seen people host TikTok lives, and that is actually a talent in and of itself. It really is. Yeah, girl, just hosting to literally no one, that's just hard. Bitch, I'll never forget when the pandemic happened and the home drag show started. Baby, I hated it. Sitting in my little tiny, you remember my little tiny hallway on 144th Street? I remember. I had my little ring on my iPad. It was the most uncomfortable and awkward I've ever felt. but I hated the home drag. This episode is sponsored by Airbnb. I been having so much fun partying with them because between drag gigs filming and touring I always on the move And hotel life can be pretty draining I serious y Booking stays with Airbnb has changed the game when I go on tour I need a home base that actually feels like a home. I love having extra space to spread out. And it's those extra like everyday comforts. You know what I mean? Like sitting at a real kitchen table or having a cozy living room to decompress in. That makes it all the different. You know what I mean? Plus, chatting with hosts gives you that local perspective. You just can't get anywhere else. It makes me feel connected to the neighborhood instead of just passing through it. And also I booked this modern ranch house on Airbnb with Jacob. And first of all, we each had our own bedroom and bathroom, which is luxury. This is romance. The house had a whole stack of board games and I beat Jacob in comedy. I bought the company myself, to be fair. It was private. It was quiet. No hotel hallways, slamming doors, just real, unrushed quality time. Honestly, elite domestic bliss. Traveling this way just feels more authentic and human. So, glad we've been tripped by using Airbnb to find an amazing place to stay. Look, we've all been there. Those seasons where the stress starts piling up, or maybe you're dealing with burnout or a tough breakup where you realize you really need someone to talk to. But then you start to search, and that's when the nightmare begins. You look for a therapist who actually specializes in what you're going through, but even more importantly, someone who actually takes your insurance. It is wild to me that we don't think twice about using insurance for our physical health. When it comes to our mental health, it's suddenly this massive out-of-pocket hurdle. It shouldn't be that way. And that's exactly why I'm obsessed with RULA. RULA, that's R-U-L-A, is a healthcare company that makes therapy actually simple and, more importantly, affordable. Unlike other platforms that might stick you with a huge monthly subscription or a massive bill because they don't work with your plan, RULA partners with over 100 insurance plans. The average copay for a session is just $15. That is real therapy from licensed professionals at a price that actually makes sense. They also don't just match you with the first random person who has an open slot. Rural has a network of over 15,000 vetted therapists and psychiatrists to actually look at your goals, your background, and your preferences to give you a curated list of people who are the right fit for you. There are no wait lists and no frustrating back and forth. You can find a provider who is accepting new patients right now and potentially have your first appointment as soon as tomorrow. Whether you need to talk therapy or medication management, Rula stays with you the whole way to monitor your progress and make sure you're actually reaching your goals. If you've been putting this off because of the cost or the hassle, let Rula handle that part. Thousands of people are already using Rula to get affordable, high-quality therapy that's actually covered by insurance. Visit Rula.com slash rivalry to get started. That's R-U-L-A dot com slash rivalry. You deserve mental health care that works with you, not against your budget. Me and Bob love to fight about who we think is a better shopper. It's me, we all know that. I've been using Rakuten, yes, Rakuten, and honestly, it's the most rewarding way to shop. With Rakuten, you earn cash back and reward to almost everything you're already buying. I'm talking fashion, beauty, travel, all of it, darling. So whether you're shopping at Macy's, Ulta, Adidas, or eBay, you're getting rewarded for purchases you were already going to make. And the best part, you can stack that cash back on top of other deals like sales on coupons. So when I go get things on sale, you have to say, ooh, yeah, I got that on sale and I earned cash back. You can redeem your cash back your way. Check, PayPal, build points or redeem instantly in the form of a gift card from one of your favorite stores. Eligible American Express card members can choose to earn membership rewards points instead of cash back. Term and conditions apply. It's super easy and free to join. You just need an email at Rakuten Partners with tons of brands across fashion, beauty, travel, electronics, dining, basically all the things. Literally, I can't think of something that they're not doing. Now I check Rakuten before I buy anything because if Bob is earning rewards and I'm not, that's not a loss I'm willing to take, ever. Join for free at Rakuten.com or download the Rakuten app to start saving today. That's R-A-K-U-T-E-N.com. Rakuten, the no-brainer way to save money and feel rewarded when you shop. And they start, Juicy has this idea to lean into the fact that she doesn't like her. So Juicy and Nene are talking about concepts for their show. And Juicy's like, well, we both don't wear wigs and we both flip. That could be our, I was like, this is, I remember being like, this bitch about to go home. This bitch about to go home. Your concept is we don't wear wigs and we flip for the morning show. What is going on here? What is happening? Bob, when you're brainstorming, there are no bad ideas. You throw everything out. There may have been some connected tissue that would have blossomed or something else. You just got to say the idea to see if there's something there. I don't believe in that there are no bad ideas. I think there are bad ideas. I do believe it is a safe place to say your ideas out loud, but I do actually believe there are bad ideas, and I'm glad they didn't do that because that would have been a bad idea, which is probably why it got left on the cutting room floor. On the cutting room floor. Yeah, I think that, and even just hearing how Mikey and Darlene are brainstorming, they seem to have a little more synergy than Juicy and Nini do, and I do have a little concern for her. do you know what I noticed I kind of haven't noticed the entire time Darlene Darlene does the laughing thing that you hate Darlene? yeah I guess she does when she's talking to RuPaul on the zigzag she's like yeah because I was at home and then because it's my favorite thing I don't like it it's the laughing thing Bob hates I don't like it it drives me crazy I guess the reason why I haven't noticed it on Darlene is because it sounds like she's actually laughing. Like, it actually sounds like she's really laughing and not nervous laughing. You know what I mean? Also, they're only in Doobie laughing at weird shit. So maybe she actually do think it's funny that she was sitting at home. So they have revised... Okay, we'll talk about the AI drama of it all in our Untucked, because the internet is up in arms about it. But instead, we're going to focus today on the Tic Tac dinner, which has been revised. I love the Tic Tac. I love the tic-tac lunches dinner whatever it is I love the tic-tac of it all I mean I never had one I never had a one-on-one one I mean I had a one-on-one with RuPaul but it was like literally backstage with no cameras we all had one with the top four oh really I told you this sir before yeah um when we all got eliminated one by one RuPaul would you'd like you'd like dance away with RuPaul upstage and then you'd exit and then all the queens who were not eliminated would go back to the main stage. And then RuPaul, it was just her sitting backstage with us, each of us, one by one. And what did y'all talk about? I don't remember. I mean, this was 10 years ago, so I don't fully remember. But I remember making up a story that I told Kim Chi that RuPaul told me that I won. I do remember that. But you don't remember he talked about... He can't believe me. Was he giving you, like, life advice, career advice? Do you remember nothing, bitch? I think we were just, like, shooting the shit. Like, it wasn't, we didn't, it wasn't like a, it wasn't one of those $10 million or sit down dinner with Jay-Z. It wasn't one of those. She was just like, how's your experience? And like, you know, so you're living in New York and stuff like that. Yeah. Got it. Got it. Yeah, like that. Nini said something that really made no sense to me. She goes, when they're going to have the Tic Tac lunch, she said, this is such a full circle moment to sit here with RuPaul. How are you doing a sick Tic Tac? How is that a full circle? That's not a full circle. It means that you're like coming back to this thing you've done before. Like, how is that a full circle? Maybe it's because she like envisioned it for herself. so now she's actually doing it and now she's experiencing what she envisioned maybe? I don't know. Yeah, that's not what full circle means. Full circle to Nini, that's not what full circle means, babe. Just FYI. Nini is a motherfucking engineer, okay? She is. She's smarter than me. Working in HVAC calculations. I will say, it sounded different when she was like, I gotta do HVAC. So I was like, I'm not saying you're not an engineer. I'm not saying you're an engineer. But I feel like she scaled it back a little bit. No, but Bob, I think you will be surprised at how much engineering it takes to get... I could never do it. Could never do it. What the fuck are you talking about? She scaled it back. I guess in my mind, when I imagine an engineer, honestly, I don't know what I'm imagining when I think of an engineer. I actually do not know what I'm imagining when I think what an engineer does. What the fuck? I assume... I don't know what I imagine. When I think of an engineer sitting down doing their job, I actually don't know what I'm imagining. What are you imagining? I imagine them engineering things. Like, they're engineering. I imagine them engineering things. No, like, literally, like, for example, right? An engineer would, an engineer, God, they would engineer how to make this music stand work properly. Like, how to make all the. I guess that's what I imagine, too. Like, an engineer would be like, we want to put these wheels in this car. And then the engineer would do some math and figure out how to get the wheels in the car. Yeah. Yeah. So, it is right. It is what you thought. I'm thinking about, I don't know why, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Juicy doesn't like so Juicy is like going deep into her psyche and realizing that she doesn't talk that much because of her relationship with her father and she felt like she had to like minimize herself to not seem too gay I guess and now that's why she's like always quiet. Because the dad was very machismo very masculine Cuban dad very bat which I guess yeah I mean And I guess, I mean, I'm talking about my coming out experience. I hid drag from my family for so long, and I really regret it because they're more obsessed with drag than me. My dad was sending pictures of me doing different stuff. He was like, oh, Monet looks beautiful here. I'm like, thank you, Dad. Okay, can I, I want to read some of these. Simone, please, said, I definitely imagine her getting on the computers, putting in, like, computers putting in. And now I just imagine her with a hard hat and a neon vest. That's what I'm saying, too. And then like someone else, Aether Paradox said, I'm an architect who works with structural and mechanical engineers often. And he sums it up pretty well. Precise, not social and smart. So I think now I'm imagining like a hard, when I hear H, that's what it is. When I hear H back, I think of like the way that what's her name portrayed herself. The girl with all the tattoos, Lucy LaDuca. When I hear H back, I'm imagining like a Lucy LaDuca, cut off jeans, hard hat, orange vest type. That's what it is. Thank you for helping me get my thoughts out, Simone. That's what I was trying to say. Work. Yeah. Did you ever feel like you had that juicy thing with anyone in your family? Were there any guys in your family that weren't really masculine? No. My father's not super, like, I mean, he's, like, not feminine at all. But no one in my family is, like, there's no macho guys in my family. My Uncle Steve is gay. My Uncle Scotty is, like, a really nice pastor. but no one's like yeah I mean my uncle Scotty is an Omega I will say that he's a Q dog he's a Q dog branded and everything he's branded I'm pretty sure he's branded I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure he's branded you have to be you cannot not do it yeah but he's not like a I'm sure he's barked at someone at some point also not juicy straight up being like I got a big fat horse dick I was like I was like, whoa. Girl, she will take it sexual. She's like, and just, I want everyone to know real quick, I got a big, fat, meaty-ass horse dick. That shit is hanging. I was like, Jesus. I was like, now I want to see it. I was like, Jesus Christ. I want to see it. Rue straight up told Darlene, bitch, I did not see you making it this far. And I, he's like, bitch. None of us did. He was like, he straight up was like, yeah. like literally we're all gagged. I lost a lot of money on you. Lost a lot of money on that one, Toots. Yeah, I mean, I would agree. Like, I'm telling y'all, I didn't, I was like, Darlene's gonna be third, fourth out, max. I am gagged that Darlene is sitting here at the top four. I really am gagged. And she mentioned, she's also about the shoe thing and how it's become her thing. And I'm sitting here, I'm like, I don't, I just don't even recognize the draggers I'm watching now. Remember, I'm sorry, I will never let it go. Remember Dusty and her dots? Dusty wore her dots one episode, and it was curtains. It was like, you fucking dotty-ass bitch, go home. We hate dots, you fucking crusty bitch. Money exchange. I wore sponges for, after being out in the world, being celebrated for my sponges, I wore it for one thing. They were like, why the fuck are you wearing sponges, bitch? Well, I guess the internet done dragged Michelle Visage so fiercely. She's like, well, okay, I'll let you do your own hideous drag. Do whatever you want to do. Yeah, it's wild to me. And the thing is, but also, they're just ugly as a fucking shoes. I hate these shoes. I hate these shoes, bitch. You don't like the shoes? I hate those shoes. I mean, you are the Michelle Visage. You want to get into the show Good Morning Bitches with Zayn Phillips? Wait, don't worry, I didn't mean to know anyone else. Okay, no, yeah, we can get into the thing. So we start with Nene and Juicy. And off rip, this is, first of all, like, they started with some, like, shade about Nene being in the bottom. And then, of course, Juicy was like, and I'm most likely to bottom. i will say this i don't think it's that she was making dirty jokes i think it's that the dirty jokes weren't funny which is why ross was cringing ross was kind of od with the cringing ross like i agree i agree definitely he was definitely you know like making it you know what i mean but um yeah yeah i agree i think that i think i think i wrote down they had a few awkward pauses but i'm telling y'all doing a doing a doing a co-hosting thing with someone is it definitely takes a time to find a rhythm with that partner. So obviously this is a challenge on drag race. This is heightened. It's supposed to be a pressure cooker. But finding synergy with a co-host is not the easiest thing to do. So there are a few awkward pauses. But honestly, overall, I enjoyed it. I wasn't sitting there like, oh, this is tough to watch. I wasn't wincing like Ross Matthews was. But also, No Shade, it wasn't live to tape. And I don't know why that kind of irritated me. They said it was going to be live to tape, but there was obvious cuts. and I was like what's the point of I guess what they're saying is you only get one take is what they're trying to say and we'll edit it out what we want yeah I also thought that um I thought all the innuendo and the dirty jokes were like again they weren't funny they were fine but the masturbating one felt egregious I was like oh my god it's because they already made the joke so they already made the joke like are you a master baker and then he was like I would say so say what about a masturbator what about taking your hands around your dick because I have a big horse dick what if i took my hands of my big horse fat dingaling and was stroking it are you is it is it similar to that yeah it was that's how it felt that's how it felt it felt very very it it it got it got awkward with that i mean like also they're trying to show they're girls the alliteration was so shady like that was so uh tyra i missed that when they do like the seashells and then the alliteration bit. It is very top model coded. Simone Police said, Ross was truly acting like he was going to be judged in the acting challenge himself. I mean, it was a lot. When they got on the ground, like, there was some moments where I was like, Juicy, like, I just wrote down Juicy was so horny. I know, putting her head between that man's legs, I mean, I would do it too, but goddamn. I mean, Ross seemed uncomfortable. I will say, in their defense, it genuinely looked like Zayn was having a lot of fun. I agree. I agree. He looked like he was having a blast. The skid is sexual. She would have had her head facing his crotch. But the whole skid is sexual. They had the camera angle. They're resting on their legs. Open legs. I think they were ODing. It might have been Ross was ODing a little bit, but the issue was that she wasn't funny. Like she wasn funny which is what made it uncomfortable Um let move on to Darlene If I was Juicy I would put my head facing the other way I was like you know what we gonna lose I might as well try to get a little bit of his dick in my mouth anyway Jesus Christ let's move on to Darlene and Mikey off rip they're great like their banter is better I love when Mikey just has some really great one liners when she said motherfucker I'm sorry can I say mother on television that was I laughed at LOL that. And she knows when to break the scene like when Darlene was saying something in her face and she just goes, spit on me one more time Darlene. That was so good! I'm telling y'all, I've been rooting for Mikey for a hot minute. Y'all didn't want to listen, but Mikey eats. I'm going to go ahead and say it. Mikey is the funniest person this season. Easily. No one's... Jane has some funny moments too, but I don't think Mikey's ever flopped in a comedy challenge. Ever. Neither did Jane. Jane went home for flopping on a comedy challenge. Do you watch the show, Tamar? Anyway, I think that Mikey was such a natural on this fucking challenge. Mikey was so effortless. It was just, it was hilarious. And again, all of her little breaks, all of her, I wrote down, Mikey's DTCs, directing hammers, and jokes felt very natural. Like, and some of it was probably off the cuff, honestly. And some of it probably wasn't even planned. She just did it in the moment. So it just felt, I felt comfortable watching Mikey. Like I would watch Mikey do a morning show. Mikey fucking killed it. I will say Darlene ate with the backyard barbecue walk. Darlene ate. That was genuinely funny. I don't know if she came with that on the moment, but I thought it was funny. It kept getting funnier. It never like kind of got to where I was like, ew, what, like the wrap it up. It was a pretty long bit, but it ended up being quite funny. And again, Zayn Phillips seemed to be just having a really good time. And then not him dropping the bomb that the guy that he did a challenge with is his real boyfriend. I said, oh my God, that lies, that lies. They do be lying. They do be lying. So on the last in the workroom, I didn't really write much. They were just kind of all giving their first impressions of each other. I mean, I will say, and I'm going to go ahead and say y'all, Untucked, the last episode of Untucked is never, it's just a boo, it's just a I love you fest. It's always just a big I love you fest. So we're going to talk about other stuff. And I feel the same way about the makeup moment because they're just like going on. It's pretty repetitive. Which, by the way, I actually genuinely enjoy it. I just don't know how much there is to review. They were just going on about their first impressions. And they seemed pretty spot on. People thought Darlene was a little kooky. People thought Nene was a little standoffish because she was focused on the game. People respected Mikey, thought she looked sickening. And people thought Juicy was going to be the lip sync assassin. And all that ended up being true. Hello, everyone. Wake up and smell the flowers. Spring is in the air. It is officially spring, and I'm trying to clear the clutter and simplify everything I can, including dinner. Between work, getting back into a more active routine, and those longer, busier days, having home chef deliver fresh, pre-portioned meals takes a huge weight off my dainty, tiny little shoulders. It is the easiest way to feel organized, well-fed, and way less stressed as the season starts to ramp up. Y'all know I do not like grocery shopping. I would rather kiss a pit bull in the mouth than take a trip to the grocery store. I've been using Home Chef lately, and it really makes cooking simple.

They have everything from plastic recipes with fresh ingredients and 30-minute meals to oven-ready trays and quick microwave lunches.

Listen to The Break Room for free on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. And I also think, too, I'm like, this thing where people are like, Nene, we want to feel your heart. And I'm like, some of my favorite drag queens, I don't know. I don't know. I don't care about their heart. I care about their talent. So I'm like, what? When you don't give a fuck about y'all's hearts? You know what I mean? I'm like, this thing of like, Nene, we just need to see more. Say that, honey. Say that. We need to see more of your heart and who you are. And I'm like, why? Why? Well, I think because this is a competition and because it is a competition, like a reality TV show. Like, I don't care if I'm watching America's Got Talent or American Idol and I don't see your heart. But if I'm watching America's Got Talent and I don't see your heart, it does matter because we're seeing more views. Because on talent and Idol, what's happening is we're only seeing them on stage and in little vignettes leading up to it. But in this, we're actually watching them interact We don't watch the American Idol interact with each other. We don't watch the American Idol people interact with each other. But since we're watching you interact, I want to see how you socialize, you know? I guess. I mean, you know, when we did season 10, I just, I felt like I knew. I was like, oh, they're going to put us in a house 24 hours for season 10. I was like, it's a decade of drag. They're going to put us in a house for season 10. And I was so mad when we were not in a house. I wanted to be in a house so bad. You're in a house right now. All your dreams came true. the New York apartment kid wants to finally live in a house and look at you, you made it. Big time. You know what I mean. Anyway, can we get to just run with looks? Let's go to the lyrics. Everyone looks great. I love Ross's pants. Is Ross sells these pants, you're saying? Yes, Jacob. Ross sells. I've worn them. Jacob, can you pull it up? Yeah, this is my Ross's brand, Meyer, I think. No, I forget the name of it. Meyer's a parent company, but I have these pants. Can you buy me some for your birthday? I'll buy you some for your birthday. What color you want? Black. Black? Okay. Yeah, black pants. And I have this same blouse. Oh, my God, I have this blouse. Ross sent me this outfit just with the black pants. And, yeah, they're a great brand. Michelle is great. I love Tiana Taylor. She's so cool. Is Michelle wearing a full-on wig? This has to be a wig. Probably, I would imagine. She looks amazing. Michelle, this is the best she looked all season. She was looking good the whole time, but she looks so good there. I don't like that waistband ruse dress. I'm like, it should have just been, I mean, obviously it'd be harder to make, but the waistband took me out. I have that same shoe. I sure do. No, you have the same. Let's move on to our first queen who is Juicy Love Dion. Am I on Lonely Island? I don't like this dress. Oh my God, I agree. It's just too much. She has no waist. it just looks like it's just a whole bunch of gold materials just put together in a hodgepodge kind of way. Like, this looks like when you finish making something for arts and crafts, and when all the glue and the gold glitter get jumbled together, you're just rolling your fingers and you chuck it away. This is a mess. Yeah, I'm not into this garment, but they seem to be into it. I don't know. It's just not. It's not. I don't like it. I don't like it. Let's go on to Nene Kaka. I don't like the outfit at all. This looks amazing. This is really cool. This is so beautiful. This is so well done. I would wear this. I want this. Maybe I wouldn't do the spiked shoulder, but that's her signature thing. But this look is so fucking cool. She said that. Did she wear a lot of pointy shoulders? Did I miss that? When I thought back about it, I felt like she did. Got it. But yeah, I really like this look. This is so well done. This is very... You know, something about her is she seems like a graphic designer. Yeah. You know, there are certain queens who've been on Drag Race, and you can kind of tell that they were graphic designers, like Manila Luzon. If you look back at Manila Luzon, you can tell. Kim Chi, you can tell that they were graphic designers by how they do their drag. Sasha Velour, you can tell she's a graphic designer based on how she does her drag. You know what I mean? Morning Exchange, you can tell she's a graphic designer. You can tell. um i like this i mean i've been stoned yes honey she yeah i love a hand painted dress they don't they don't they don't hold up very well they'd be stiff as hell but i love one yeah i mean this looks similar to my literally the pattern i'm doing for my um for my tour right now so did you steal it from you or did you steal it from her i think she stole it from me um i think the hair is cool i would not have put the i would i don't know if i would put the stones and the the pattern in the hair i think the hair just being black i would have liked more But I still think this is a, she looks absolutely stunning. It's like, this is a great look. Let's go into Mikey Meeks. I did not like this shoulder thing. And the judges seem to be also in alignment that the stars around her shoulder was kind of weird. Other than that, it's a nice dress. It's not my favorite look of the night. And it's not even my favorite look from Mikey. But I always think Mikey looks really stunning. But I just didn't like the wire stars around her head. Yeah, that thing looks so damn bald-headed and cheap. That damn wire thing looks so cheap. If she didn't have that, this would look like a beautifully elevated look. But that little chicken wire looks so scraggly. It looks so bald-headed. I think the wig looks nice. I actually, I do like this dress. I think having the one glove with the little sash thing, I think that looks beautiful. I think her proportions look very lovely. I like how it's this peplum situation with the long skirt at the bottom. I love this, except for that fucking bald-headed little piece of chicken wire. You don't realize about Mikey. I think the reason why I like Mikey's drag so much is, first of all, Mikey wears her hair the way I do a lot. This up into a bun, which I always love that style. And she does the big wing eye, which I also do and I like. Maybe I'm just, I also like all the girls do the wing eye. No, Nene Coco does a pretty sharp wing, but Darlene obviously does not do a sharp wing. She does more of a rounded, smoky kind of moment. But I love that Mikey always does that long, or often does that long, I love a big, long wing. yeah that's cute um let's go next up to darlene mitchell this hair needs to go in a fucking fire and set on fire with kerosene and uh ethanol and burn it to hell monet jeez i hate this wig why would you wear this hair i don't i didn't love the wig i don't hate it as much as you hated it i think the issue with the wig is that it's just a big round thing if it had like a little part in the side it could actually be a little bit more flattering um but i actually do like this dress on her i think she looks really good um but the hair she needs to have titties in like why are you just flat-chested boy on this runway a lot of girls be doing no titties these days i've kind of gotten accustomed to no titties like there was a period of time i was like these bitches need titties but now i've kind of gotten to where i'm just kind of like i guess the girls don't wear titties no more it's kind of like when you look when you look at uh bianca del rio or trixie and tell his makeup when you look at her for a really long time it actually starts to become kind of pretty like you're at first time you see tricksy it literally looks like like her face doesn't make sense it's kind of clownish especially how she used to do but after a while i'm like it kind of started making sense to me yeah maybe well this does not make sense to me i hate that she doesn't have titties on i think the dress is pretty but having had the titties in it i think it would have been like very stunning i love this this red duster the red and gold is beautiful but the hair and the no titties take me out and this is a boot for me. Johnny Tsunami 420 said, I'm on nation, but how's she going to say that while wearing Utica squirrel wig? Let's go into the judging. No! What? It goes right to the judging. Let's go into the judging. So let's right now, baby, if you want RuPaul to like you, you'll love her. Tell her you're sober. Baby, nothing tugs on RuPaul's heartstrings more than someone kicking a habit. Selena, please do like to have a word with you. Did she talk to RuPaul about it? Yes. On the show? Yes. But I just remember when, when, when, when, when Katia Miss Fame did it, that guy RuPaul, well, baby, when Jujubee. I don't remember. Did RuPaul cry? All stars. When Jujubee mentioned that she was sober, RuPaul was like, it's because of those friends in those rooms. In those rooms. Maybe I should tell RuPaul I'm sober. You think she'll like come hang out with me? Maybe. Well, RuPaul, I'm sober. It's been almost 18 years. Darlene only did it for 10. She gets all your fucking love. This is crazy. Yeah, RuPaul is having really most of the moment. Should I tell RuPaul I'm sober? Friday can be very life-changing. I mean, obviously, I get it. Should I tell him October? Well, I don't think that juxtaposed all the clips of you talking about your wacky drug use. It might not scan. Whatever. You know? Selena Street signed dress cancel out any positive feelings you had about her sobriety. That was from Ashana 888. Would you say 888? We'd say 888. What would you have said? Ashana 888? I would say 888. 888. eight because Ashana eight, eight, eight. So, I mean, there's pretty much, I feel like the judges actually echoed a lot of our sentiment. They didn't like what they called the bald head chicken wire. Except they love Juicy's look, which I did not understand. Not for me, but it's a no for me, darling. I'm sorry. But they agreed that Juicy was a little too sexual during the thing. they really love Darlene and Mikey's show. And RuPaul said that she would watch Mikey do a show every morning. She would watch the show on repeat all the time. And Darlene and Mikey win. And honestly, I agree. But if I had to go to one, who would you pick, though? I would go to Mikey for sure. Yeah, for sure. So Mikey now has four wins. Darlene has two. Nene has two? Nene has... Wait, Nene? Nene has two. So Darlene was the only one of the top four who has never been bottom two, right? Oh, Mikey. No, Mikey had to lip sync in the bottom. Mikey lip sync in the bottom? Tell us, y'all. No he was not in the bottom though He didn have to lip sync No Mikey never lip sync are you sure I pretty sure Chet help us out I can remember to be honest He has a bottom placement Mikey had a bottom, but she wasn't. I said home Sierra missed. She said home Sierra missed. Yeah, I was on Sierra. Mikey did lip sync. Toxic by Britney Spears. She was dressed like the Broadway sign. That's right. Yeah, I remember. It was during the talent show, like I said. Oh, right, right, right, right, right. and then we found out that Nene Coco and Juicy Love Dion are in the bottom two and they are lip syncing and I mean first of all the moment I see Nene Coco in this dress I'm like this is this was for an engineer you didn't think this through I mean girl what draggers loves when they do these the final they should give the girls a chance to change because hello come on now why they should have done a ballad for this one Like the girls are going to be in these dresses. Why is it like wear your best, most expensive dress that you definitely spent way too much money on coming here. And now we're going to have you lip sync. Get on up. Get on up. Make me scream. I mean, I do think that I do think that Juicy actually won that lip sync. But because what could Nini have done? She she broke her her her 3D printed titty bib for no reason. I know. But I mean, she can fix it. She could engineer a new one, girl. But, I mean, she broke it for no reason. It didn't even save her. I mean, it did save her, but I don't think it's because she broke the thing. I think the judges were actually just considering. I do genuinely think that NeNe has more to offer the competition right now than Juicy does. I would say so. Like, no shade. I would be excited to see what NeNe would bring to a finale. I can't say I would be excited to see what Juicy would bring to a finale. okay but then inversely why was it different for jane doe yesterday i think it was probably different because and i'm just guessing here i think it was probably different because we're so close to the finale now we're like knocking on the door of the finale as opposed to being a few episodes away um so like i do believe that sometimes you could just if they would have said any home i'd have been like yeah that makes sense she lost the lipstick i would have been like she did lose and but she also wasn't but also she wasn't the worst in the challenge jane was the worst in the challenge and she lost the lip sync which i think that what nene did was she was uh she lost the lip sync but she wasn't the worst in the challenge but juicy was the worst life next episode is lala peruza so now they got the lip sync lala peruza um but i i don't know i think that uh if if nene would have got eliminated i'd have been like yeah it's fair she lost the lip sync because it is rupaul said it is your last time to impress me and save yourself from elimination. That's what she said. You know? Fair. How do you feel about the lip sync? I thought it was fine overall. I think that Nini, Juicy revealing and having her backup outfit under her thing, obviously, like, fierce, but Nini just could not do that. Like, it just is what it is. And again, like I said, I think it was mid, it was fine, but I'm excited to see what Nini would bring to the finale. Not necessarily Juicy. Damian Joseph said, I also think the how many times have you lip synced for your life part of the track record seems to count against you more than how many times have you won. So maybe that's part of why Juicy has lip sync for her life more times than anyone in the competition. And because she's been in the bottom so many times, maybe that's a part of what it is. It does seem to have a bit more bearing in the final main stage than it does when you're not at the final main stage thing. We need to rewind to the first episode. I literally said Juicy is going to sing at least. She's going to lip sync for her life four times a season. I literally said that. Yeah, I mean, look at her. They'd be crazy not to put in there. Then also she didn't do very well, so it was easy to put her down there because she didn't do very well in a lot of the challenges, you know? What about, someone said, add Joey Stone to all-white final three, but Bob would love that. That's not what Joey Stone said. That's what you just said. You added that part in there, which is crazy. Has there been an all, why would you add that part in, The last white top three was season seven. Season seven? No, Ginger Minj is not white. She's Puerto Rican. Puerto Rican's not a race. I did not need to erase her. She's not a white Puerto Rican. She's a Tyino Puerto Rican. I did not need to erase Ginger Minj. That part you just made up. Ginger Minj has said she's white several times. You're making up things about Ginger Minj. Just like our white Puerto Rican friend Alfredo. He is white. He is Puerto Rican. I don't know why it's so crazy when people say Puerto Rican is their race. Puerto Rican is not a race. woo it drives me crazy i don't know why that drives me so crazy um uh mumble more mumble more uh comments one name mumble some more please mumble mumble three more uh for me please anyway let's say violet's ecuadorian ecuadorian is not a race if you ask violet her race she will say i am white violet will say i am a white person text ask her have y'all ever heard Violet say she's not white yes no you've not you're making things up you're in your makeup stuff era um Jay didn't want to be in this mess so he left so okay go ahead I was gonna say let's hop over to Untucked to talk about no no no no we need to talk about a few things first of all we have a top three our top three are Nene Coco uh Mikey Meeks who I was convinced wasn't white until about a month ago and Darlene Mitchell and Darlene Mitchell who do you think is going to win I think Mikey Meeks is winning drag race but Sasha Velour's Jake Willis situation could happen I don't know I think Mikey Meeks deserves to win it the most I thought Mikey Meeks should win for a long time Mikey Meeks is to me the funniest girl in the challenge in the competition I think her looks are pretty good I think she's like second best, third best with style now that a lot of the other girls are gone. I do think probably the best with style was probably Vita Von T star. But Vita also had a couple that was a little too old school for me. You think Vita had the best style this season? Are you fucking drunk, bitch? Who would you say it was? Jane Doanth. Jane Doanth's runways were absolutely stunning the majority of the season. Is that a joke? She had a couple that I was kind of like, I don't know. You know what it is? Jane's is so referential. Erte this, Erte that. Whereas I felt like Vita's was like, this is just Vita doing her thing. Except when she was like making full recreations of celebrity costumes. But she didn't do that on the show though. I felt like Vita had more of a unique perspective whereas Jane was like, how can I get something made that looks like something that someone else has or is inspired by Erte? But it was not why someone, no, I think she was using a style references. But like, her Erte gown didn't look like an Erte thing. It was taking the classic silhouettes and materials of Ayrte to give it that thing, but she wasn't juicy recreating a Schiaparelli look. We all know Mia Starr had the best looks of the season. Let's go ahead and hop over to our... Oh, sorry, there's one more thing. I'm going to pull it up right now. Here we go. Oh, yeah, we got to talk about the likes, honey, because they're also... What? I checked the Twitter today. So, Nene Coco's dead last with less than a third, almost. Not quite, but less than half. A little more than a period. Less than half the likes of Mikey Meeks. And then Darlene Mitchell on Instagram, this is all on Instagram, is about 1,000 likes above Mikey Meeks. But on Twitter is a very different story. So on Instagram, just to be clear, Nene Coco has 38.6 likes. Mikey Meeks has 97.2 likes. And Darlene Mitchell has 98.2 likes, just 1,000 more. And I checked the Twitter today. And on Twitter, it's giving. Give me one second. And RuPaul is the millennials. So he's going to check Instagram, not Twitter. So on Twitter right now, Team Nene Coco has 4.2 thousand likes. Mikey Meeks has 12.3 thousand, literally more than double. And Darlene Mitchell has 20.1 thousand. People want Darlene to win Drag Race. She has almost 8 thousand more likes than Mikey Meeks right behind her. I am gagged at that. Darlene is the favorite to win? I honestly think people like to root for an underdog. I'm not being funny. People love, even if they don't believe that person will win, they genuinely just love rooting for it. I was watching this video today. I watched this fitness influencer. This video, it was like dad strength versus teen bodybuilders. And it was all these teenagers versus these 50, 40, 50-year-old men. And I really wanted the dads to win. I really wanted the dads to win. I knew they weren't going to win. They did not win, but I wanted them to win so badly. Interesting. You know? People love an underdog. Well, that's what she brings to that finale. She better lean on her fashion design degree and come up with some fierce shit at this finale. I will say, I do think Darlene is the most creative of those three. Well, no. No, Nini Koppel is very creative. Let me, I'm going to roll it back. She's the most out of the box. I think she would end up giving a finale performance that's along the lines of Crystal Method, maybe yeah a little crystal methody you know what i mean yeah which i would be pretty excited to see but i i think mikey's going to eat them up mikey has the looks mikey has the personality mikey's going to be funny mikey's gonna i think mikey's gonna eat them up i really do we about to see girl in what two weeks question the talent show darlene had the power tool song that you guys hated and then nini coco had like the praying mantis you know mating rip the head off which to me is more out of the box than darlene doing power tools so is darlene is her kookiness making it seem like she's out of the box like what about darlene is i feel like i'm missing it i think she's charming and funny but i don't know i don't see the unique thing in darlene darlene feels very cookie cutter to me i think what's unique in her perspective is the way that she approaches rupaul's drag race. I don't think necessarily in her talent show, but the way that Darlene approaches RuPaul's drag race, I do think is quite unique and I genuinely enjoy it. I do not want Darlene to win. You mean like... Go ahead. Sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off. Sorry. I do think that Nene should win over her, but if Darlene made it to the top two with Mikey, I wouldn't be like blown away. But I think the top two would be Mikey plus. It's not going to be anyone else plus. It's going to be Mikey plus someone else, and I think Mikey's going to win. What are you about to say, Moner? I was going to say, so you think that How is she approaching RuPaul Drag Race, as in wearing the ugly shoes, even though she was told they were ugly? You think that's fierce? No, it's marching to the beat of her own drum. It is. What is that? It's not just that. It's also the way that she frames humor, the way that she approached the comedy challenges. I think that she just is more unique, in my opinion, than the other girls in this show. By the way, unique, that's a very good thing. It's just like someone says you're tall. That's not a compliment. It's an observation. You know what I mean? Yeah, I guess I just don't see this world where Darlene is more unique than Nini Coco or like Mikey Meeks. I just don't see that. I think she's quirky, but I don't think, I guess I don't say just because you're quirkier that you're unique. Like, okay, bitch. What is quirky? If quirky is not unique, what is it? Quirky is strange. Quirky is... And strange means what? But in a normal? Like different than the norm. No, but I'm okay. But in a drag conversation, right? I think that just the things that how, how, what's her name? Nini Coco has gone about her design for a thing, the praying mantis thing, how she has conceptualized her things. I think she's unique. She's offering a unique perspective on how she is characterized by a peculiar or unexpected trait. Yeah, so I think Nini Coco is someone that is, she's offering a unique, fresh perspective on drag. Whereas Darlene is like the kooky girl at the club that a lot of us know. Darlene is fucking Dusty Ray Bottoms. Darlene is, like, she's just a quirky queen. Last question I asked before we go over there and talk, what is so unique about Nene Coco? Her perspective on drag. Like, the things that she's made. Like, these looks. Like, having this three-printed thing and having... We've never seen anyone. Yes, we have. Vanilla Luzon did a lot of this stuff. The same pattern on her dress into her hair. That's something we've never seen on draggers. Yes, we did. Guy Mick did it. Guy Mick had the polka dots that went right into her hair. Of her makeup, her hair, her dress. We've seen that. What Dot Mick look? Dot Mick did this big dot look for the finale of, for her final look on All Stars, where she was covering these big dots that went from her dress to her face to her hair. So we have seen it. I don't remember that. Well, just to remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen. So that's one thing I think that makes Nini Culkin unique. I think that just her... Did we see this season, didn't Vita have the zebra stripe in her hair this year? did she yeah so she had a zebra on her dress and then it went to her hair we've seen it on the same season I don't remember this you don't remember anything that goes against your point I know I'm dead ass girl I don't remember what the fuck it wore last week all I'm saying is it has happened you're saying it never happened it has happened and only now it happened in this same season that we're in right now where is the ocular proof I'm not going to believe what you and Jacob say Jessica Jacob asked him about something Mm-hmm. Okay. You know Jake is going to bring it up. Jake is going to bring up Godmig and her polka dot. And if it ended up, I'll be like, okay, work. But I'm not going to accept Jake as, mm-hmm. You don't remember a mixed black and white wig? Everyone was kind of going crazy for it. Yeah, everyone went crazy. Monet doesn't remember anything. Even if everyone in the chat says, even if Godmig brought Heather dressed up right now, Monet would say it never happened. Just bring it up! We don't have to bring it up. It happened. We don't have to push it to you. There it is. There's the whole thing. this is uh uh uh that girl did not wear that that's not the polka dot one uh jacob exactly no we y'all said not her vita summer y'all said vita summers wore a zebra thing with the things in it that was got mick that was not vita summers monay it happened our vita bontistar sorry vita bontist no because y'all saw us uh-huh jacob pulling up the wrong the wrong evidence monay we're not arguing you it fucking happened the chat can tell you what happened it fucking happen. No, but I'm just saying don't uh-huh me and then pull up the wrong evidence. Okay, here's the look. So now once this look is up, are you going to shut the fuck up? That's not her hair. That is a headpiece. That's not her hair. Her hair is a black wig. No, her hair is a black wig. She's wearing a zebra cap on her head. She's not wearing a zebra wig. That is different. This is terrible. That is a prop. She is in the fucking Lion King. a hat's not a prop thank you so do you want to apologize to me now or later and when you see the guy Mick what are you going to say then no we talk about Vita first thing we talked about bitch you need to apologize about this do you want to apologize about this raggedy stank big foot slew foot ass big exploding ass shoes walking sideways raggedy hoe ever yeah because you know what As we learn from therapy, as we learn from therapy, it's impossible for bitches like you to apologize.

So what do you have to say about this guy make a look with the hair thing? Okay, that's fair. That's not what we're talking about. So are you going to apologize? What? Are you going to apologize?
