Sibling Watchery: RuPaul's Drag Race S18E06 "The Rate-A-Queen Talent Show, Part 2"

We are so excited to share that we are partnering with Airbnb. And if you know anything about our lives, you know that we are constantly on the move. I remember this one trip to Atlanta. Girl, we booked Airbnb and it changed the game. ATL! Yes, it was incredible. The home was nicely furnished and it was perfect because we had all this extra space for all the things that a drag queen be needed. I love chatting with the host, getting that authentic local perspective on where to go. And it just feels like a lived-in experience rather than a revolving door. Booking stages of Airbnb has changed the way that we travel. Everyone, welcome back to Sibling Watch. Before we discuss Sibling Watch, everyone was talking about my mood last week. Fuck you. I'm in a mood today, bitch. All y'all lame bitches. Bombs in a mood. Fuck all of y'all, bitch. How about that? And I mean, and you can... We were on the phone like a few days after the episode, and I was like, girl, everyone saw you in a mood. If I was like, Monty, I was not in a mood. And he was like, you keep on telling me I'm in a mood. It's going to put me in a mood. Yeah, that's so annoying. You're in a bad mood. I didn't want to talk about that fucking ugly-ass fucking dress. Oh, my God, your lips are so red. Are you wearing red lipstick? I wear lipstick for my show. Oh, you do? Which is cute. No, I wear, out of drag, I wear a red lip gusher. It's not a red lipstick, but it gives a hint of red. And I like it. I think it looks good. This is not our makeup review. This is not Sibling... This is Sibling Watch. Yeah, but no, fine, it's not Sibling What. Sibling What. And we're reviewing RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, Episode 6, the second Raider Queen, Raider Queen Part 2. And no one's gone home, but both the queens won the lip sync. Do you agree that they both won the lip sync? I do. I think they both won in there each way. Each one did a good job. I will say I have turned the tide on Mia's wig. Mia walked in. I think last week I had performance blindness. I was so blind about how great her performance was. She walked in them doors. I said, that wig is absolutely hideous. Her outfit is hideous. Well, you were clear on that last week, so I don't know where this is coming from. Yes, you were very clear about not liking the wig or the outfit last week. Oh. I don't remember that. Mia is very moved by the fact that she could share this win with Juicy. I think because, one, because Juicy's so young and because Juicy's her niece, and they, you know, apparently Mia has given Juicy a lot of opportunities throughout the Florida area. So Mia just seems really nice to me. Yeah, and she does seem very sweet. And I also love, Athena felt the need to reiterate. She was like, I didn't have to do any shady, like she made a statement, a declarative statement. I didn't have to do any shady voting because the talent spoke for itself, which I think isn't her favorite. Because we know the Florida girls had like a pack. They had an alliance together. but she didn't really have the alliance arise because Juicy and Mia were, and Inicoco was good as well, but you could argue that they were the two best ones. But she was willing to. Absolutely. And we're going to talk about it this episode because I find it real rich how last week you were like, well, it's my family, and now this week is a whole, anyway, we'll get into that. Well, Juicy now has two wins. She's officially leading the pack at the top of this episode with the only queen with two wins. And Sierra is wondering why the girls voted her low. She's like, was this French? Was it based on friendship? Was it based on merit? And I think either way, you're in the bottom. No shade. But you don't even know. Because I think that informs how you're going to react to everyone else. If it was shady, I'm not going to be like, yeah, girl, you can brawl my blush. If it was whatever. You know what I mean? Like, no, that doesn't fact the game. But I'm saying, whether it was friendship or marriage, she's still in the bottom. She had the least friends there. And her performance was bad. and then Kenya says Kenya goes I'm not going back to South Carolina empty handed and whenever Drag Race plays a clip like that all I can think is you're going home empty handed that's all I can think is going to be someone's going to do a super cut of you doing that and then you leaving the building with no wins I'm so distracted by how ready your lips are I'm trying to I'm trying to move on I'm trying to move on This is why Bob's in a bad mood. No. No, I'm trying to not. Y'all chat. Our Bob's looks bad red. And what of it? But it looks good, though. I like it. It's not like it looks bad. I like it. But I can't stop staring at your lips. Oh, my God. We need to move on. So the next day, Sierra is trying to make another meeting. Every time this bitch calls a meeting, she's up in the bottom. You need to stop talking to people. Yeah. That's what works out for her. She pulls all the week on girls from meeting to... Also, wait, real quick side note. Did you watch the pit stop this week? No. I need to hear the chat discussion because, like, everyone's up in arms about this wig, whether or not Tina Burner's wig. She kept doing these wig changes. I heard about that. Whether or not the wigs were good. I thought the wigs were great. Oh, so there's discourse regarding, like, if they looked good on her? Yeah, they were good or they were bad. I thought they were really good. They were rainbow wigs. But I thought they honestly all looked really great. Each wig. Yeah, from what I saw online, someone on Twitter put them like, they did like a carousel of them, and they looked good to me. They looked nice. They looked style. They looked good to me. I think people just want to not like Tina Burner. I know. Why is that? People really, people like love to hate Tina Burner. Why is that? Especially the judges. Yeah, so Sierra's pulling all the week on girls for a meeting because I think, yes. Oh, we'll get to, sorry. I do want to say, just so you all know, our top tier patrons get to watch our podcast live. They're actually right here with us on Riverside commenting. We read their comments stuff. And if you would like to be one of those patrons, then please feel free to go over to Patreon, tap in Sibling Rivalry Podcast, and you'll be able to join us and watch live with us. Sorry about you. Yes, it hasn't been working out for her the best, but I think it is smart for Ciara to strategically try to set herself up for Listen for Your Life. Because I haven't seen this discourse online. People are like, well, RuPaul gave the queen to rate a queen. They should do it based on merit. I'm like, who says? I'm like, who says? I'm like, they get to rate a queen. I was like, she would be dumb to not try to get someone who she thinks she can be in a lip sync. That's like if there's a design challenge and we have to rate the girls. I'm not going to rate myself so that I could actually compete against Nene Coco. I'm rating myself so I can sew against Jinx Monsoon because I know I could probably beat her in a sewing challenge. Well, I can't wait to, because they all got to know that the Raider Queen results are coming. By the way, I saw the preview of them dropping the Raider Queen receipts. Gref, you could make a couple of seasons. It was, I think the first time they did, it was literally just a binder. It was like a three-ring binder with nothing nice on it. And this time they had like graphics on it and like all this stuff. They made it real nice. girl, Dragor said traitors, we want our motherfucking Emmys back we're putting production value in the show now. Juicy is very clear that she, so now Sierra, okay Sierra made them I mean Sierra made them say that you and me made on the traitors she told the wrong people the wrong thing and Juicy immediately immediately, she's like yeah I'm gonna, Juicy tells her she's like I'm considering friendships, like I'm gonna be considering friendship and she also said, but then she goes I'm friends with everybody. But then she goes and shows who's friend with because then she goes over and tells everything that Ciara just said. Like, everything. I know. It's a little shady. But, I mean, she has no allegiance to Ciara. She don't care about this girl. Is that shady? It's not. I mean, it's shady to Ciara, yes. It's not shady, yes. She didn't agree. She did not agree to Ciara's terms and conditions. She did not agree to Ciara's terms and conditions. I think what she did was, to me, it was above the board because she never told Ciara she was going to go with her plan. She just said, interesting, interesting. Fair. But then also, Mia said that no matter what, she's going to be rating Athena high no matter what. Yeah, no matter what. I think they had a hand in Mia's high placement. No shade. You mean Athena's high placement? Athena's high placement, yeah. No shade. Well, Sierra was like, she's talking about she can, she wants to squabble her opportunity with Discord. With Discord. But she says that not knowing that Vita and Discord are close. So I'm like, ooh, girl, that's spicy. Because then later on, Vita goes into all Discord. She's like, girl. Everything Ciara said to anyone was immediately reiterated to people she did not want to reiterate to. Like, she should have just kept her fucking shut her fat ass up. Because, like, everything she said to everyone went back and got talked about immediately. Like, immediately. I didn't know Vita and Discord were so close. Did you? No, but Vita says it. I think they vibed over their tattoos. I think Vita might be also a little punk as well. Maybe not to the extent of this quarter. I think they've made a connection in the house. They made a connection in the workroom because of their similar interests, which is cute. But I wrote down that Jane and Athena are really bothered by the conspiring. And Jane is very, very, very perturbed about the whole thing. And I'm like, I get it. It might be annoying, but she's really bothered by the whole thing. yeah and guess who's irritating me this episode you want to guess who it is you want to guess who's the fucking irritating this episode something about jane is is rubbing me the wrong way i you know what it is she's like she's kind of bitchy like she's like she's like mean to the she's she's like for example she'll be like well i'm doing bet midler i don't think any of these fucking idiots will get my reference how would they possibly know who bet midler is with these absolute dumb fuck drag queens literally they're literally just drag queens get my elite prestigious really niche reference of bet midler which obviously bet midler is making a reference she's bet midler is referencing sophie tucker so it's really a reference of a reference Yeah. You know what I mean? And I don't know why. I hate when queens be like, well, no one's going to get my super niche, extremely over-the-top gay reference that literally everyone knows. Gavin said, Jane don't got a good at it. Jane don't got a good attitude. She don't. Is he wrong? Is he wrong? Yeah, I mean, every time they go to her confession, she's always like, and I'm just like, it's like she's very like, A little energy and annoyed and bothered by everything happening. It is. In the room, she doesn't hold the energy in the room. In the room, she's like, mm-hmm. And then behind, she's like, this bitch can't do rock. She ain't no motherfucking punk rock bitch. I mean, we'll get to the lip sync in a second. But it's just, oof. Anyway, I want to move on. Athena is talking about how she didn't conspire, but she did indeed vote for her family with her family in mind. So she's saying, I did not do any conspire. She's basically saying, luckily my family did well, but I was going to vote for them no matter what. So isn't it really the same thing? Yeah, it is the same thing. Also, like, last episode, she literally had Juicy. She was like, she said to her, I'm going to vote you. Like, duh, I'm going to place you first. Like, she literally said that. So, yes, you didn't call your whole group and had a fucking meeting of the minds, but we literally saw on camera, you were like, whatever, no matter what you do, I'm putting you first. So you had strategy. So don't act like it's so crazy that these other girls have a strategy. They don't have family here. They don't have people, like, 10 other queens from fucking their city. So, like, what of it? I can't wait to see where she ranked Nene Coco. I think it might be in my notes. I mean, they don't show them all. I don't think they show the ones that everyone really wanted to know. I mean, what I have here is that Athena, yeah, Alasawa was her vote for Juicy and her vote for Darlene. I would really love to see where she put Nene Coco because that could be really interesting. Yeah. You know what I mean? And to quote Monique, I would like to see it. So Mother Massage comes in for a check-in with the girls. Wait, I got some more moments to make up on before Michelle comes in. The makeup didn't happen yet. No, they started doing their makeup. That's why they're in half makeup when Michelle comes in. You're right, you're right, you're right. So Kenya agreed to put Mia high, but she's hoping that she will return the favor because they all agreed on it, which I think obviously paid on her favor. and then um i want to point out that mikey meeks at this point said wow i look like bjork and i want to point out that i also thought bjork was asian and then we went on the patreon so y'all don't know but in the behind in the patreon exclusive i was like i confidently said mikey is and i agree because she looks asian as well i dm'd her mikey meeks is not asian she's not Mikey, I didn't ask her to give me her 23andMe, but I will read you the DM. Do the full investigation, bitch. How are you going to do half the investigation? Well, I didn't tell her to do it. Okay, I'll send her a 23andMe. Then they go out of business. I said, hey, Mikey, I'm sorry if this is offensive and you don't have to answer, but in the podcast this week, I confidently said that you were Asian. And Monet was like, what? My question is, are you Asian? Then she laughed at it. She goes, well, the internet certainly wants me to be, but unfortunately I am that Miranda Cosgrove type of white. Okay. Also, that is wrong. Did you watch the episode? You said she's Asian, and I said, yeah, she absolutely looks Asian. What do you mean I said what? Oh, when you were the one who made me question it, because I said when you were like... No, you were reading the chat. The chat was like, girl, you're crazy. But no. And then also I thought she was Asian because she opened for Plastique and fucking Nymphie on their tour. I think that's because she's a drag queen, Bob. I don't think that she's Asian. damn so so so only Asian people can work at the Serpent Store I don't know I don't I didn't get asked to do it did you get asked to do it I did not get asked to do it well then there you go anyway I did write that down I wrote I wrote Mikey weeks I wrote Mikey Bjork moment because that's a Bjork then I said Rose that uh Vita was like really discord was really has been has promised that So when Discord heard that Sierra was like plotting against her she was like in the bottom you going to see the meanest side of me that you ever seen Which I don't believe. And I was, I was like, I kind of want to see her be nasty. I don't think, nothing about Discord gives me that she could be nasty and shady rude. Even, we'll talk, because she had a moment in Untucked to be this person and she didn't do it. So I'm not biting that for a second. When Visage came in, she meets with the girls, and I didn't think, I thought Kenya was getting an edit of, oh, like, I get told this note and I kill it in my talent. Bitch, Michelle Visage looked at her and said, bitch, know your words. Like, she tells all the girls, she says, I'm talking to you, Kenya. And, like, literally hours before, and then we see her do her talent, and I was gagged that this bitch did not, We'll get to the talent. But I was gagged that they showed that. Do you agree with Michelle that a drag queen's number one job is to lip sync? No, I don't agree with that. So you disagree with Michelle? I do. To quote Ross Matthews, I'm going to have to disagree with Michelle. I do. I do not think a drag queen's number one thing is to lip sync. I do not think that is true. But Kenya does point out that she's like, yeah, I get nervous and I can't remember the words. I'm like, girl, that's tough. That's a tough gig. I will say a lot of drag queens lip sync. I think that lip syncing is one of the ABCs of drag. but I would not say the number one thing you need to know how to do. Do you agree with Michelle? No, not at all. No, I have to disagree with Michelle. We are so excited to share that we are partnering with Airbnb. And if you know anything about our lives, you know that we are constantly on the move, whether it's drag gigs, comedy tours, filming, vacations. And after years of living out of a suitcase, baby, we realize that a state can totally make or break your energy. When I'm told, you want a room that has two beds and one cramp room. No, you want two beds, your own private bathroom, and you need a kitchen table to eat and a living room where you can actually settle in and feel like a human being. I remember this one trip to Atlanta. Girl, we booked Airbnb and it changed the ATL! Yes, it was incredible. The home was nicely furnished, it was stylized, we had high ceilings, a massive living area, and it was perfect because we had all this extra space for all the things that a drag queen be needed. Okay, we had four or five suitcases, we had to practice on numbers, And honestly, we could sing. Well, I could sing. Well, Bob now, too. We could both sing as loud as we wanted without worrying about bothering the neighbors with, you know, these thin walls and hotels and banks. And as drag queens, we travel a lot. So it is much easier and nicer to have a larger space to unpack, spread out and vibe before you head to the gig. Plus, it's a lot more personal. I love chatting with the host, getting that authentic local perspective on where to go. And it just feels like a lived in experience rather than a revolving door. I'm serious. Booking stays at Airbnb has changed the way that we travel. It makes the road feel a lot less lonely, so glam up your next trip by using Airbnb to find an amazing place to stay.

I wrote this out. I said, Jane, because after Michelle tells Kenya that note, Michelle leaves, entering the makeup, and this sent me. Jane says to Kenya, Jane asking Kenya, what does that mean to Michelle telling her to know the words? Like, what do you mean, what does that mean? Bitch, she said for me to learn the words. Like, what do you mean? What does she mean by telling me I should know the words? Do you think there's a secret message that you can't decipher? Like, what else could Jane think that Michelle meant by you should know the words to your music? I don't understand. I didn't even clock that. It was, I was like, that is such a weird question to ask her after that. I think that, let's go into the, you ready to go into the runway? No, I want to talk about the weather in New York. Yes, Bob, I'm ready to go into the runway. Anyway, as we go on to the runway, let's talk about RuPaul. RuPaul, I really love this sparkly cat suit underneath her gown. I think it's really cool. And let me tell you something. Okay, I think, yes, RuPaul looks incredible. Baby, zoom in on the shoe. RuPaul said, honey, I'm having my toes out these days, baby. RuPaul said, honey, give me my toes. She said, I want to be like the new girl. The dogs are out, honey. RuPaul got the toes out. Yeah, show the chat. I said, that was the first time I clocked when he walked down the runway. I said, RuPaul looks like me. I was like, wait, are those his actual toes? RuPaul's had her toes out several times on the show. That's not like a... I've never noticed that it has. Chad, have y'all seen her toes out? RuPaul's had her toes out since the fucking 90s. No, but I'm saying, but back in the 90s, she didn't pad like that. RuPaul used to have her full leg out. That is a full padded leg. RuPaul did pad. RuPaul did pad. RuPaul did pad. RuPaul was one of the first queens padding. No, but she used to have... Okay, show me, because I don't know what she's talking about. RuPaul did used to pad. She didn't pad every single time, but RuPaul did pad. RuPaul. And also she had her toes out in the Supermodel video. Yeah, but she was wearing... Go ahead. I said she was wearing an open toe shoe in the Supermodel video. It looked like she stumbled. I didn't see that. Well, I never clocked this. I clocked this. I think I was like, RuPaul got her little toesies out. I love this sparkly thing. This like winter white ice queen outfit is so beautiful on her. And I think she looks gorgeous. This is one of my favorite RuPaul looks. Now, nobody don't love when Ru wears those light blue contacts. but today I'm into it. So I can't remember the name of the theme, but it's like shake it. It's like shake loose or everything. What's it called? Shake, shake. I don't know. Well, a fabric that moves when you move. This lady. Or a garment you move. I love this lady's outfit. Her body is everything. Yeah, she looks stunning. So up first we have Mikey Meeks. And I got to say, I think Mikey might be my favorite queen from the season. Jacob, can you give us the next look? I just got my own little slide on the side. I think Mikey Meeks might be my favorite queen from the season, honestly. I do like Mikey Meeks. I like this look. I think this was really creative. It's giving Casey a later, if you know, you know. And I think this is a really cool. You weren't a costume designer? Yeah, I kept everyone on a costume. I think Casey has made me something. Oh, my God, Casey won't make me something I was supposed to wear. it was an option, I think, for my makeover on season on All Stars 4, but I did end up wearing it. I think this is really cool. I love that she's this multicolored tie-dye 70s thing with the zip ties. It's really cool. And she made this with all of her friends. I loved the weird little antennas. I think this was a really dope look. And I think Mikey looks really cool. I like this outfit a lot. Yeah, she's great. I'm really like turning into a Mikey fan. Like, she's great. I think Mikey's just fantastic. And I think she was inspired by Nina Coco with this eye, I'm just gonna say. Nene Koka's in his eye a few times. Really? Yeah, this like curved thing. Interesting. Yeah. Let's go on to Athena Dion. Athena, you know, from the waist up, I like this outfit. I do not like that like cartoony Judy Jensen hoop at the bottom. Yeah, I wasn't gagging for this look like the judges were. Like I thought it was fine, but I think it was like one of Ross's favorite looks. I was like, I mean, it's fine. And also, I'm not Greek, but doesn't the eye have more white in, like, the thing? Like, the Greek eye, the eye that's really popular over there. The evil eye. It's probably evil eye. The evil eye, yeah. It's, like, not fully blue like that. Isn't it white in the middle? Am I bugging? But it reads. It still reads. I get it. Isn't that all that matters? As long as it reads, you know? Yeah, I thought it was just okay. I mean, this might be controversial. I hate her makeup. Do you like her makeup? I don't have particularly strong thoughts about her makeup, but I don't remember loving. There are moments where I think she might need to learn to paint for film. It needs more precision. It's just like what you used to accuse me of, smudges in circles. It just lacks precision. Smudges in circles, smudges in circles. So since when did Athena tell you that she was a Judy Jetson hooker? I mean, in this outfit, she's given Judy Jetson hooker. I mean, this is, it's like, it's the Jetsons. let's go on next to our next queen Kenya please this look is I love this look I love the way it moved I love the butterflies and the hair I think that I love that she's wearing a dark tight I just love I think this is actually really this is probably my favorite look Kenya has worn on the show I mean I think this is a nice look for Kenya I like she had that she had the butterflies even on the shade what a nice look for Kenya is that shade No, I was just literally just speaking. Is it a nice look in general? Is it a nice look like for him? But it's a nice look. I would wear this look. And I think... I don't know if you would like, for any of this is good. Okay, you're trying to do a thing. I think Kenny looks... Tyler Mitchell Foster said Loki. He's not talking about that. Yes, he is. No, he was not. That was three minutes ago. No, he didn't say... Anyway. I think Kenny looks gorgeous. I love that she thought about the shoe. The shoe could have been like a throwaway, just put on like a black pump. But she sucked some butterflies on there. The hair is really cool. I like that she framed the face with the big wings and her body looks great. I think she looks really beautiful. I love this outfit on her. Yeah, this is a great look. Let's move on to our next queen. Is that a good or a bad? Fucking killed it. I love this. I fucking love this. I want to wear this outfit. Jane, don't. tore me with this, tore me up. I fucking love this romantic Shakespearean, whatever the hat was perfect with the ostrich. The colors are so beautiful. And the way to fit her body. And I love the cutout she had because it's a leotard. But then she has like the skirt with the ruffles on it and it cut in the back really beautifully. This was so fucking dope. This looks like some like Galliano, like this looks like some Parisian shit you'll see at Paris Fashion Week. This was dope as fuck. Yeah, I loved it. I was, every Saturday, me and Alfredo get together. We watch the Pissed Off together. Oh, we're. Between shows. Alfredo works on Aladdin. Mm-hmm. And we're a few blocks away, so we just get together and watch the show. And he was like, he hated this look, which is crazy, because I was like, this look is great. Freely awesome. Freely so crazy sometimes. This look is dope. I think, again, but to each his own. But I think this look good. Also, when they were judging it, Michelle was like, Michelle doesn't understand how people don't, like, Michelle wants people to get over that she doesn't like green thing. But she, multiple episodes of Drag Race, she finds it to say, I mean, I hate this color green, but I love this look. I'm like, bitch, you keep on telling us you hate green. So how are we going to move on from it? I think she's going to have to just deal with it. Not a green joke. She had to deal with it. Let's go on to Discord Adams. You know, the, boo, boo, boo, boo, chop, chop, chopity, chop, chop. This looks so cumbersome and too much. having like the pinstripe thing, the gold on the shoulders, the money coming out of the thing with the blood. Like, I get you trying to make this like capitalist, capitalism is bad, blah, blah, blah, money is bad, whatever, but this looks so ugly. This was hideous. Yeah, I don't like this. And is this supposed to be her brains or her? What is this supposed to be on top of her head? I think it's money falling out of this thing when money becomes blood. Blood is money. It turns red. But why is the money on top of her head? I don't know, girl. I don't know. Yeah, I don't like this look. Discord is so hitter. Sometimes she will hit so hard and it's so good. But baby, when she misses, she is really swinging out. Where is it? Like hard. Okay, this is what Discord said. She said, Jacob, go over it again. This look was inspired by all the politicians and CEOs running this world into the ground and the insane amount of never-ending greed lining their pockets. I have money pouring out of my hat, turning into blood, drooping onto my shoulder, blood on my hands. 20 plus pounds of chains and diamonds swaying in my shoulders, weighing me down. And if you looked closely on the runway, three bullet holes dripping from my back DDD I wanted this look to be glamorous and frightening Well it definitely scary DDD She definitely she got You don know DDD No what does that mean Didn't that mean Mangione? Oh, is that... Oh, Denaideth and Depose. Yeah, work. Wait, Denaideth? Oh, my God, did you hear? Luigi might not be getting going, like, he might not be going to drink. He's not getting to drink. Yeah, no, he might, he might, his, the worst he can get is, I think, up to 15 years, and is going to be, like, time served. So he might be getting out in, like, 12 years. We'll get him on the podcast. You think of everything Luigi will have going on, you think he's coming on Silding Rivalry? Maybe. We'll see. He might be a fan. Let's go into Mia Starr. You know, what's she? What's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's... First of all, is she borrowing Juicy's wig? Girl, this, this, the amount of finger-ways on this season is insane. I don't like this outfit. I don't get it. I don't understand it, and I do not like it. This looked like what Bellatrix wore when she tried to escape Azkaban. This looked crazy. This is an awesome one. I don't like the Harry Potter, but that sounds about right. She looks like a dementor, and I ain't never seen Harry Potter, but I know she looks like a dementor. And she's demented from fucking putting this in a suitcase and coming to Drag Race with it. Like, even when she was explaining on the runway, I was like, girl, are you serious? Like, you having these cassette tape strings on your back? Because it was a blockbuster. then has this, like, black... This black... What is that even around her waist? She looks so big. Like, this looks crazy. She's a big bag, so I guess she's in line with herself. But she's not, like, with her waist, she has so much up there. And she has... Girl, every single drag queen had one of those belts. I had them. Bob had them. Them little corset belts from Amazon. And the fact that she's wearing this corset belt on Drag Race is a gag to me. is pretty bad. Let's go on to Darlene Mitchell. This look is fantastic. I love that she... What? No, I said, bitch, I live for this. I was gagging. I thought you said no. I thought you said no. I said this look is fantastic. I heard you say no. I was like, what do you mean no? This is crazy. No, bitch. Darlene, I DMed her. I was like, bitch, finally. I was like, bitch, this is... This was so fucking... You cannot DM someone and say finally. That's crazy. I didn't say finally. That's not rude. You just said, I DM'd her and said, finally. Okay, let me tell you what I said to her. Because I chatted, am I crazy? Monet just said, I DM'd her and said, finally. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I posted the look, like, on my Instagram story. And I said, okay, bitch. And she said a two-foot one day, and we had a whole thing. But I was like, this is so cool. This is, like, so cool. This is so fashion. This is, like, New York club kid. I love the lopsided lips, the glitter of makeup, the messiness of it all. And her legs, you know what it is? Her legs are 29 feet long. and it just looks so, she looks incredible. This is such a cool look. Yeah, she looks really, really fantastic. And I love that she brought back the big chunky shoe and no one said anything about it. Because it works in this look. Yeah, she looks really good. Like I could feel like Aquarius wearing this. Yeah, this is really good. To quote Monet, as she said in the DMs, finally. Okay, wait, wait, wait. Hillary said, Slipping Rivalry, she explained that the outfit at a watch party on Friday She said she asked two different designers to make the look, but both bailed. So she had to make the tape look. Oh, this was Mia. Because she had to make the tape look with a friend. Oh, well. Okay, I don't care. It's ugly. Let's move on to Vida Avanti's star. You know, I've seen much stronger looks from Vida, but she's not being judged as well. I still don't think that the queens should have to walk if they weren't being judged. Because you might actually be able to save that outfit for something else down the line in the competition. if you need it. Or you might actually use that for something. Or you don't get to wear it and then you waste it. Or you don't get to show this thing you spent $2,000 on. So it's like... You can still show it to someone. But not on TV. You know, the world is going to see it. There's a lot of stuff that girls don't get to wear. Remember, some girls went home three, four episodes ago. I know. So that's part of the game. Right. So every chance you get to show all this stuff that you spent all this money on, I'm like, bitch, I would love to... Give me the runway every time. I would rather save my looking because I need to wear something else. Because by the time I got to the end, I was like running out of clothes. I was repurposing things. I didn't think that runways, because they didn't tell us what was a runway and what wasn't a runway in my season. So I was like, I'm out of clothes. Like, I'm out of clothes. But I don't, I don't, she looks like a figure skater to me. Yeah. But I do love this wig. The wig is cool. The outfit is more of like a lip sync dance costume, not a runway. So maybe she did that. Maybe this is one of her just extra dance costumes she packed. She's like, bitch, I'll just make this work for this category. Let's move on to one of my favorite looks, which is Nene Coco. This is like David Bowie, Janelle Monae, what's his name? Klaus Nomi. Club Kitty look. I love that. This was such a cool look for me. This is dope as fuck. I love the way that she thinks of these runways and where her mind and brain goes. I've never seen anything like this on Drag Race, I don't think. and even down to like the, how silly that headpiece was. And it just all worked so beautifully. This was so, so, so fierce. It's giving Livia Majora, Livia Minora. Like I'm obsessed with this outfit. Nini Coco is such a, she is the fashion queen of the season. I think everyone, we all agree, right? I think this is, and also this look moved the best. Like it acts moving, moving, moving, you know? And I'm wondering like this, Is this all of her like engineering schooling that makes her think of fashion so differently? Not so differently, but like makes her think of these really cool looks. Because I think like the science of it all and thinking how to construct this probably is a big part in this look. And it just, like you said, it just moves so cool. And every which way she moved, you saw a different outfit and you saw a different peekaboo of color. And it was really, really, really well done. between traveling for tours and filming the pod i just don't have the patience to play grocery store detective anymore okay i'm tired of reading labels just to find out a snack is full of sketchy ingredients that's going to damage your body that's why i've been using thrive market and honestly game changer thrive market is a membership-based grocery service that offloads all that research for you you just hop on the app and the shop from wherever you are the membership breaks down to just $5 a month, giving you access to weekly sales, free gifts, a peace of mind, and it is everything because every product out there is vetted before it hits the site.

No, no, no, no, that's my last. We didn't talk about Thrive Market. Juicy Love Dion. And this look is really cool. At some point, I do want to see Juicy in what I would consider a really nice wig. At some point. At some point. Like, something more than, like, a tiny little wig or a headpiece. I think we deserve that at some point. Don't you? I mean, if I do a drag, I mean, I'm not bothered by what she's doing. I think she's a short-haired queen, and she's making them work. She's doing some different, like, one was... You're trying to stand up for your people. No, I'm like, if that's not her thing, that she doesn't... Like, this is, like, yeah, Dusty, like, don't do the dots. But I'm like, if the dots is what you do, like, I'm not bothered if every look incorporated dots in your makeup. I'm not like, Dusty, please give us no dots. Like, I don't care. It doesn't bother me. Are you sure you're not just standing up for the short hair community? No. I said what I said. Okay. Do you like this outfit? I like this outfit. I love this skirt. I love this. I wonder what material is that? Is that like plastic? I don't know what that is. But it's cool. I don't know. It does look cute, though. Yeah. Like, it looks, I mean, it's a good look. It is a good look. Let's go on to our next queen, which is Sierra Mist. Awful. Chippity, chip, chop, chip, chop, down. chop it into pieces. But I think what you said. She probably was like, oh, this is just, I'm not being judged, so let me just wear something else. I think that's what's happening. Yeah, in his ugly outfit. That's not what I said. What I said was I wish they weren't walking. You just made up a whole narrative for me. First of all, put your fucking hand down with your red-ass lips. Calm down, bitch. That's what it's like working with you. Making shit up. Y'all see, Bob is a very aggressive person. Y'all have seen this is the real side of Bob. I've never hated my aggression, and I'll slap any one of y'all, too. Wow. Not a slap. Yeah, this is an awful look. She had her bare legs out, wasn't tension enough in the body. And, like, girl, you skinny girls, just think, just because you skinny, you can walk your ass out here with just, with no body on it. Think you're serving. You're not serving. And it wasn't fierce. Yeah, I don't understand what... I don't, I can't even. What kills me is that if it was a big girl, they'll be red the house down. They'll be red to the floor. But because this bitch is fucking skinny, they're like, oh yeah, it's fine. No, it's not fine. I think she would have been red too if she was being critiqued this week. Well, we'll see. I don't think anyone, I don't think anyone was going up for this look. Anyone. Yeah, it was not good. And her makeup looks particularly crazy today. like it just really doesn't match the fit with like it really doesn't match this outfit like it really doesn't match this is like an outfit fucking juicy would wear yeah i think she should have tried to do it like a little more glam and maybe tone the blush down and i think she brought the blush into her contour nose contour which looks weird in this picture but yeah i i think we should have thought about some different things oh she said jimmy says she said at roscoe's it was last minute so she could lip sync because her outfit was really heavy. Oh, it's still up. Got it. Okay. And let's go on to the talent show. Okay. Okay. Mikey was up first. I thought this was one of my favorite numbers and I agree with the judges. I think Mikey needed to go a little further, but once she started, I had no idea. I had no idea this was going into burlesque. Then she did the finger thing. Fucking hilarious. She said, I'm doing a Burlesque Numbers Frankenstein. She said it in the work room. I must have missed that in here. So when she did the bite and finger thing, I thought that was really cool. I thought the titty reveal was fine. I think where she lost me was when she takes off the corset to reveal her guts, I think she'd have been actual stone guts should have fell out of the corset. And then I think on the... It was sparkly. Yeah, but it just looked like a sock hanging from her thing. I feel like they should have been packed in a liturgy when you open it. like guts fell and have like an open wound or open like thing on the thing. I think that would have made more sense. And for the last bit with the light, when she does the thing, I was like, she, she pulled the, the, the, the electric thing. And nothing happened. I was like, was this supposed to like a spark or something? I think she should have asked them to put the lights on in the house. And maybe her outfit glows, glows in the dark, something to like give it like a big finish. It just felt very like, okay. Like, like where's the big finish? It was, it was a lack of. What could have taken over the top. I don't know how she would do this, is if her intestines turned into a boa and she would wear the boa around her shoulders. Like if her intestines come out and she wear big tool boa, or even if you attach something to it and it becomes a big tool boa, I think that could be really cute. But I did like this number. I thought Mikey did a really good job. And I think she's really creative and I think she's really stunning. Yeah, like I thought it was a really cool number and it was no one else did anything like her. And yeah, I thought this was funny. And Mikey, she should be proud of herself because I think she did a great job. I'm really shocked that Athena did not speak any Greek during her... She was speaking Greek the whole fucking episode. I couldn't support her Greek number. Yeah, let's go on to Athena. I thought Athena's the most fun. I thought it was really interesting when she did the dancing bit. They showed it for like 0.02 seconds. And then they showed the judges. I'm like, if she was dancing, well, but show us the dancing. It was like literally step, camera cut. I don't think she was dancing very well. But that's what they said. That's what she said in her talking head. She's like, I'm dancing. And normally drags would be shady. They would show us the bad dancing. But they literally just showed one step, then it was a cutaway. I don't think it was bad dancing, but I don't think it was good dancing. Yeah, and she also wins. So it would be very weird to show that, and it wouldn't make sense in the edit. But I thought it was a good number. I don't think that they care because it's about her family. They've already set the stage that her family's voting her high no matter how bad she is. So we don't care if her dancing is bad. I think this number is solidly mediocre. It's not, but this is a solid middle-of-the-pack number, in my opinion. But it wasn't bad enough for me to, like, shit on it, you know? Yeah, okay, wait. So Jay said she was not worse than Kenya. We haven't gotten to Kenya yet. so everyone calm down i said middle of the pack i said solidly middle of the pack so all y'all athena uh is this one of her drag kids in our motherfucking patreon calm down um yeah so going into the season i had such high hopes actually didn speak greek that crazy right all she said was opa at the end that was it isn that crazy i mean i not as bothered as you are but the whole number was about being greek this entire episode as we say spot a copa fucking spot a copa honey it's like olive oil if you stay ready you gotta get ready so going on to Kenya Pleaser going into the season I had such high hopes for Kenya Pleaser I was like this bitch is going to come and turn it out she's going to be such an amazing performer she's going to kill it this talent show was so fucking sad to watch I could not believe it first of all she was fighting the wig the entire time and literally taking chunks out of performance and just not lip syncing and doing something like is crazy I think these are the bits that get her tips back home. Because, you know, when you're lip syncing, the audience loves the, uh-huh. They love that stuff. But, baby, this is Ruble's Drag Race. We need to see you in your best form. And if this is Kenya Pleaser's best form, we got some real problems. Yeah, it was really not good. It was not. It was so, it hurt me as a Kenya fan to watch, which is, sorry, I'm putting a lot into it. I'm being a little dramatic. But it really, I was like, can you get it together? And just taking breaks out of it. Also, bitch, you wrote this, well, I don't know if you wrote it, but you recorded this song. We're listening to you sing it. Bitch, you should have been having it on repeat until you got there. If you know that words are something you struggle with, knowing that you're going to do a talent show. Like, I don't understand why she didn't prepare better to make sure she knows the words of her song. At this point, the question is, can you do better? I mean, really? Like, she's fighting for a wig. Also, the flag twirling, we've seen flag twirling done really well on this show. I mean, I don't want to say you have to twirl as well as Latrice did, but if you're literally like, if Latrice is like a collegiate level flag twirler and you are literally like Kindergartner who's baby's first flag, don't do that. Don't do that, Kenya. Like, she tried to throw in a, like, look at this trick I can do, and you can't do the trick. Like, you try to throw in a trick to impress the judges and impress people at home, but you can't do the trick that you planned on doing the thing. That looks crazy. And then the judges are pointing out, this bitch's lip sync was off. She lip synced the wrong part of the song. She's fighting her wig. Oof. When did RuPaul say the thing about... Akeisha got a good point in her story. She was like, she's like, RuPaul cannot remember Jinx's Seattle. But you mean to tell me he remembers that Jiggly lip sync this on season four of Drag Race? She's like, get the fuck out of here. I believe that Rue I believe that Rue I mean Rue remembers the thing that she remembers like when Rue picks something that she remembers she remembers that she remembers that Lawrence Channing is from Scotland I don't think Rue remembers everything but I don't think that there was like a producer whispering in her ear ooh it just go quickly say Jiggly did this like that that's crazy no I don't think it's that I think it's just saying like they probably said in her ear like oh my god you know just a casual Jiggly did this on season four I mean now y'all are engaged in crazy conspiracy theory I mean just because you forget some stuff doesn't mean you forget everything like I forget everything I forget everything I don't know anything well we know you don't know anything but I think I mean that would be weird like and now we're going to do a thing like what benefit does RuPaul have to being like and now I I don't know y'all fake for that Jay said whoever's in Ruins air peace remember to be serious I I anyway um let's move on to uh jane don't there was so i would say this there were some really funny jokes in here like jane's performance to me has some genuinely it was the funniest of all of the performances from both talent shows combined in my opinion yeah um i don't think anyone did comedy like that she don't know who did like comedy like that who was a comedy no one else? No, uh, Legs. Legs. Uh, Darlene did comedy. Oh, yeah, you're right. I would say what Athena did was supposed to be comedy. I think it was more, no, I think it was more of a, no, no, Bob, that was a performance. Was it a learning lesson? It wasn't a learning lesson, but it was more performance. Like, it was like, it was a performance challenge, whereas Jane's, like, I would categorize Athena as a performance challenge, and Jane's as a comedy challenge, if we're doing that. I don't think Athena was doing comedy. Athena knows she's not fucking funny. I think you should go back and listen to the lyrics again. She was trying to be funny. Yeah, well, let me tell you something, it was definitely better than Darlene's for sure. I thought Jane's was really funny. I thought she looks really good, but Jane always looks good and we know Jane is funny. I just wish Jane's personality in the workroom was a little, you know what? She doesn't have to be warm. She doesn't have to be annoyed in her talking heads, but it would make me enjoy her as a queen of season more, but her number was very good. Sierra said, Jane don't get a lot of compliments from Bob. I come back to her. She's quite stunning quite often, actually. Okay, and then last up we have Discord Adams with Not Another Drag Song. I didn't love it. What? I think that this was also kind of like it was supposed to be funny and kind of pointed. And also, she wasn't playing those instruments. Yeah, but I mean, she might have been playing them, but she wasn't playing them when we heard them. yeah but I'm not bothered by that I think that taking something that we see every season multiple times a season and subverting a little bit and like you know I thought again this was a knee slap bend over oh my god I'm dying laughing but I was watching it and I was smiling I was like oh my god this is clever and I liked it I thought it was like we haven't seen someone do punk like that in a while trying to think who was the last person we saw do like a punk number but yeah I enjoyed i i enjoyed discourse number it wasn't my favorite number but i would have but i i enjoyed her doing the number for sure yeah i i don't know it didn't it didn't land for me the way that i felt like she hoped it would i didn't hate it but for me it was the bottom half of the of the of the group for sure uh gavin says why does why does irene's cuntiness work and jane's doesn't i can't figure it out. I have a theory. I think it's because Irene, well first of all, I think that Irene was really humbled and Irene is cunty in person. Jane is not cunty to their faces. Jane is only cunty in her confessionals. So in person, she's like, gosh I hope no one's mad at me and then in confession she's like this bitch ain't no fucking punk rock bitch and I should've won that lip sync. And that's not, to me, that's not the vibe. If If Nene Coco is this week, who's winning, Nene Coco or Jane Dunn? I think Nene Coco. You mean between Nene's performance from last week and Jane's this week? Yeah, if Nene was in this bracket, is who's winning this week, Nene or Jane? I think Nene would have been in the top. Actually, that's if I was ranking. But because of where the system is set up, I think that Nene still would have been in the top because the Florida girls are going to Florida. Yeah. You know? Oh, wait. Let's wait. So one more. Diamond says, wait. I thought it was kind of funny that Jane was getting on Nene about doing something she's already done, but Jane herself said her number was a reference to something else. Well, that's not quite the same thing. She's referencing. She's not using the same material. It's just a reference of a similar act. I mean, Jane is kind of a hater, though. Like, Jane's kind of a hater. Like, we can agree that Jane's a little bit of a hater, right? Am I crazy on that? Does anyone chat? Am I crazy? Have I lost my mind? Well, you are, but that's devoid of what we're talking about. Let's go into the judging. So the top two queens are Athena and Jane from the ranking system. The top two queens are Athena and Jane. Monet, do you agree with that? Oh, we didn't rank them. Oh, yeah. So I would do Jane Don't is my first position. Mikey Meeks is my second position. Third would be Athena. Fourth would be Discord. Fifth would be Kenya. Hmm. Yeah, same, actually. Exact same. I'm a little flipped between Mikey and Jane because I thought that Mikey's number was more creative than Jane's was, you know? Mm-hmm, yeah. And I liked her outfit better. So, no, I'm going to go Mikey 1, Jane 2, Athena 3, Discord 4, Kenya 5. Well, bitch, so talk about the rankings. This doesn't make any fucking sense to me. And with friends like this, who needs enemies. Vita went on and on that she was going to make that she was going to have Discord's back, but she ranked her second to last. How the fuck does that make sense? Do you not understand how Alliance works? You know, Discord is my girl. I have her back. You rank her four out of five? Maybe she had her back by going to her and telling her what Sierra was saying. Maybe that was her version of having her back. Girl, I was gagged. I was gagged by that. I don't know. Maybe they ain't that fucking close. I feel like Athena and Jane were honestly pretty evenly matched until Athena pulled out the air guitar. When Athena pulled out the air guitar at the end, I think she chewed Jane up and edged her out, and I think that she deserved to win. Yeah, I would agree. I think she deserved to win as well. I think she did a good job. Why was Jane doing all that in the confessional? Why did she just say, yeah, she beat me? I don't remember that what did she say? the only thing punk rock about her is I can't remember what it was but it was something about how she's not punk rock and it kind of insinuated that she felt like she deserved to win over Athena I mean, yeah oh, I was like I was gagged that with the ranking that Kenny and Discord were safe bitch, Mikey being in the bottom is I was I tweeted about it I was threaded about it I was so upset for Mikey because I was like, Mikey did a good job. I know it's strategy, but I'm like, I felt so bad for Mikey because I genuinely thought she did one of the best in the challenge. And she looked one of the best in the runway, too. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. They did Mikey real dirty, but it doesn't matter because Mikey went up against Ciara against one of my, I think one of the best songs to lip sync to on Drag Race. It is Toxic by Britney Spears. This is such a fucking good song. And guys, just so you know, I'm not just promoting the show, but there is a great version of Toxic in Moulin Rouge that is so good. It's at the top of it. You remember when they mix it with an Avro? With Bad Room. Bad Room, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's great. In the lip sync, Sierra is a point of sister. She's one of these girls. Girl. Point of sister. I honestly do not know why Sierra thought she could take out Discord. because I don't think Sierra could have taken out anyone. I don't think Sierra could take out the garbage. She can't do shit. Wow. She's not a good lip-synker. That was mean. Monet, that's not the kind of podcast we do. Shut your ass up. No, no, no, no. We can't move on from this. Monet, I need you to make it up. We don't do that kind of podcast, okay? I'm a little nervous with Mikey, too. If Mikey goes against anyone else, Mikey was fine. Mikey was not like a... I thought Mikey was fine. Mikey ate her up with that triple pirouette. You couldn't do that fucking triple pirouette. Oh, that was, the triple pirouette was sickening. But that was the only trick. She's saving them. You don't get it. Mikey thinks in the future. Mikey's not like you girls who do everything. Mikey's not like you who does everything in your first pound the alarm loop sync. You don't waste all your tricks. I literally did not. You did your wig bit. You did your fucking, your cooter slam. I did not do a wig bit and pound the alarm. so what of it? You wasted everything. Are you going to admit to a lie and just make shit up? You did your twerk move. You did your little, you wasted all your shit. I did none of that in Pondy Alarm, so... What do I got to, what do we got to do? Exactly. And you were also, and I heard that you advocated for wanting to lip sync Nicki because you were obsessed with her and you're a big Nicki fan still to this day. To this day. She's literally coming over later today. We're going to hang out and talk about everything. I'm going to give her some advice. but anyway I thought that Mickey I keep calling her Mickey because of Mickey Meeks from fucking This American Life I thought that Mikey deserved to win I thought she did a really good I genuinely thought she did a great job and I think it's Sierra's time to hit it I don't think it was that I think Sierra had some more to offer but I think if not Sierra they know Candia should have went home I don't think Candia has anything else to offer the show damn I love Candia You're right. Kenya, I don't think he has it. Kenya don't have looks. She can't lip sync. She has a split. She did her move. All Kenya has is great talking heads. That's it. Not even that great, to be honest. I've seen better. Damn, Bob. They're not great talking heads. Do you think they're great talking heads? Don't bring me into it. Talk about yourself. Don't ask me. Don't bring me into it. This is an opinion-based show, Monet, where we get opinions about our show. You already dragged Kenya through the Serengeti. The Serengeti is stupid. Anyway, y'all, those are our thoughts about the episode. Now we're going to go into Untucked, but you can only hear Untucked if you're on our Patreon because it's a Patreon exclusive. So if you want to hear our, because I want to talk to Bob about this. Jay and I were having an argument early. We're not an argument, a discussion early about strategy when it comes to Raider Queen. And I'm curious what Bob's thoughts are. So we're going to discuss that in Untucked. And we also discuss all the Twitter drama as well. All right. Bye everyone. See you there. All right.
