Episode 5 of RuPaul’s
Drag Race was crazy as usual. It was this season’s “Snatch Game”
episode. And for the most part it was sloppy. For the record, let me
just say, “I despise toilet bowel humor.” I find it offensive and
unsophisticated.
And on that note, I will start with reading Jiggly
Caliente first. Her impersonation of Snooky definitely belonged in a
toilet bowl, and flushed away. What was all that “booty popping” she
was doing? It was so not cute.
If I had to pick a bottom three, Jiggly
would definitely be in it, because her runway look was not that
impressive either. It was just an off-the-rack prom dress. Please.
However, there were two that was much more worst than Jiggly, and who
ended up being in the bottom two. Kenya Michaels and Milan.
Kenya
Michaels made a big mistake choosing to impersonate Beyonce. It just
didn’t work. Kenya’s version of Beyonce had the girl looking like she
was hyped up on uppers. She didn’t say much. She just rooster-necked
her head a lot and flipped her hand back and front. I was like “What?”
Although she had a decent runway look, it wasn’t enough.
Milan’s
impersonation of Diana Ross was not any better. I was ready to slap
that bitch, and say “Diana Ross does not look, nor act that way. You’re
confusing her with Whitney.” She had her looking and acting like she
was on crack. But what I hated most was that gold eye-liner. It made
her look like she was a black chinese lady.
Kenya
Michaels and Milan ended up being in the bottom two, and luckily for
Milan they had to ‘lip-sync for their life.’ Because, if they were
judging on performance and runway alone, I wouldn’t even be nice to
Milan, and just tell her to ‘get out bitch’ after what she sent down the
runway. I forgot who she said her inspiration was, but she wore a boy
tux, with boy shoes, with a nappy bouffant wig. All I could think was
‘boy, you are in trouble.’ But Milan had that last chance to save
herself, and luckily the song was Madonna’s “Vogue.” And that bitch
VOGUED. Kenya Michaels just couldn’t keep up, and ended up having to
‘sashay away.’
As
for the rest of the girls, I’m going to start with my favorite to win,
Sharon Needles. She wasn’t the winner this episode, but she was
definitely a close second. For the Snatch Game, she impersonated
Michelle Visage. She didn’t impersonate her pitch perfect, not at all.
Instead, she played a version of Michelle Visage that was so warped, it
was brilliant. It was like a Cruella De Vil version of Michelle
Visage. And the girl was funny. She is so funny. Sharon’s runway look
was brilliant also; imagine Patsy in a rehab spa immediately after
plastic surgery.
Next
up is Chad Michaels. She was the winner this episode. I didn’t care
much for her runway look, which was just a giraffe print cat suit with
oval cut-outs at the hips. The best part of her runway look was her
neon yellow wig - ‘thank God she gave me something to look at.’ Her
runway was a “took nothing” look, meaning the look took no effort nor
took any money to create. I like to see work, effort, and details in a
look, which you do by either creating it or buying it. That being said,
I will say Chad Michaels’ impersonation of Cher rocked. Not only was
she funny, but she had four costume & wig changes without anybody
even noticing. This bitch is a true “professional.”
Willam
was next best. She impersonated Jessica Simpson on the Snatch Game,
and did a decent job. Willam needs to be a little bit more animated,
instead of such a polished ice queen. A little bit of personality would
go a long way for this girl. And her runway look was designer, but I
didn’t like it that much. The designer motorcycle chick look seemed to
be missing something but I’m not sure what. I just know it wasn’t
right.
Although I
would prefer not, I have to give an honorable mention to the other
girls, Latrice Royale and Dida Ritz. Latrice impersonated Aretha
Franklin for the Snatch Game. I wasn’t impressed, but I wasn’t
horrified either. And Latrice’s runway look bored me, but wasn’t God
awful.
Dida Ritz
impersonated Wendy Williams for the Snatch Game. And on a scale from
one to ten, I would give her a two, for two reasons. One, Dida is too
skinny to be trying to play Wendy Williams. And two, Wendy Williams do
not wear wigs made out of synthetic hair. Wendy Williams’ wigs are made
from real Eastern Indian hair. You can tell the difference. And
Dida’s runway look was second to the worst. She wore a skirt made out
of stuffed animals. If Kenya wouldn’t have ‘fucked it up’ on the Snatch
Game, Dida would be in the bottom two with Milan. Oh well, I’m sure
Dida’s next to be in the bottom two.
We’ll find out next week.
