Episode 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race (Season 4) is definitely the most shocking episode so far. For the mini-challenge, the girls had to “read” each other. Personally, I hate the “reading” competition. I think it’s a cruel ‘mean girl’ game, but still, ‘reading’ is a necessary skill if you want to play in this league. However, I’m sorry say but, every last one of the girls’ ‘reading’ skills left me not impressed. ‘Reading’ is all about timing, delivery, and cleverness. All of the girls were off on all counts.
Latrice Royal was named the winner of this week’s mini-challenge, and it really could have been any of them because they were all mediocre. I’m glad Latrice won, because I don’t think she has won anything in the past, and I can’t see her winning anything in the future. For the main challenge, the girls had to create a “Dragazine” cover, along with a look for the runway. This week’s winner was none other than Phi Phi O’Hara.
For the first time, Phi Phi was flawless on all counts. Her “Dragazine” cover for a travel magazine was stunning, where she wore a ‘blonde-bikini-bombshell’ look which definitely worked for her. Phi Phi’s runway look was equally as impressive. Next, let’s talk about the bottom three… Latrice Royal was third to the worst for this week’s main challenge. She had to make a “Dragazine” cover for a gossip magazine. The judges got it right when they said her cover looked like a madame’s calling card. All she did was lay on a couch, and flirt with the ‘Pit Boys’ who were pawing her. She totally missed the mark. Instead, she could have posed with a finger to the lip saying ‘shhh’, or cup her hand to her ear so as to eavesdrop on a conversation, or even an ‘OMG’ hand to the mouth would have been better than what she came up with. Her runway look, I think, was the worst even though none of the judges said as much. Santino did comment that the dress looked like a couch from rent-a-center. The comment definitely struck a nerve with Latrice, as we found out in “Untucked”. I’m glad she held her tongue, because I do not think it is cute to talk back to a judge. For me, that’s grounds for immediate dismissal. She better thank her luck stars they didn’t put her in the bottom two, although I think she will be next week.
I’m extremely shocked to report that Willam ended up in the bottom two, although I understand. I think the girl must have went off her meds, because it seemed as though she totally lost her mind. Willam had to make a “Dragazine” cover for an interior design magazine, which I think was the easiest of them all - all you have to do is pose on a sofa. Instead, Willam takes off all of her clothes and jumps up & down on the sofa with nothing but pillows covering her candy parts. And while her runway look was classy as usual, the judges checked her on the ‘five o’clock shadow’.
Jiggly Caliente ended up in the bottom two also, thanks to Phi Phi. Phi Phi tricked Jiggly into doing a ‘serious’ “Dragazine” cover for an exercise magazine, when everyone knew it would go over better if it was ‘funny’ instead. On this act of treachery, all I can say is ‘karma is a bitch, Phi Phi’. Willam and Jiggly had to ‘lip-sync for their life’. Unfortunately for Jiggly, they had to lip-sync to the country song, “My Vida Loca” by Pam Tillis. Jiggly was totally out of her element with this song. So was Willam for that matter, but she pulled off an acceptable Carrie Underwood impersonation, barely. Therefore, Willam gets to ‘stay’, and Jiggly had to ‘sashay away’. And although Willam ‘fucked it up’ royally this time, she’s still in my top three along with Sharon Needles and Phi Phi O’Hara.
Another doll down, and five to go before this season’s winner is named. I can’t wait.
