Effectively, Drag Race followers, we’ve been questioning when this was lastly going to occur, and now it has.
I’m speaking, in fact, concerning the present’s elusive double shantay, which we acquired on the finish of Friday’s episode, the final one earlier than the grand finale airs in two weeks.
The remaining 4 queens — Anetra, Luxx Noir London, Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Sasha Colby — have been tasked with writing and performing unique verses for RuPaul’s “Blame It on the Edit,” which each Anetra and Mistress most likely need to do after watching their performances within the problem. Not solely have been their verses missing in comparison with the opposite two queens, however in addition they struggled with points of the choreography. (Personally, I don’t suppose you even have to trouble with choreo once you’ve acquired strikes like Anetra, however who am I to guage?)
On the flip facet, we should focus on absolutely the top-to-bottom perfection that was Sasha’s efficiency on this problem. The verse was robust, in fact, however it was these appears — each the sexed-up alien fantasy and the jaw-dropping Pam Anderson-as-Barb Wire quantity — that certainly secured her a well-deserved fourth win.
RuPaul promised the queens on the prime of the episode that considered one of them could be despatched packing this week, so Anetra and Mistress have been compelled to lip sync for his or her lives to the tune of David Guetta and Kelly Rowland’s “When Love Takes Over.” A great tune. An excellent tune.
And it’s onerous to say that each queens didn’t deliver their A-game. Anetra gave us the entire signature methods and treats we’ve come to count on from her lip syncs, whereas additionally serving Detox-level face comedy, and Mistress made one of the best of a heavy robe by giving a basic park-and-bark efficiency — and he or she had us feeling e-mo-tion.
So it actually didn’t come as a shock when Ru introduced that, “for the primary time this season,” we had a double shantay on our arms. As Luxx identified earlier within the episode, Drag Race hasn’t had a Prime 3 since Season 8. And I believe it’s secure to say that we by no means will once more.
Anyway, this adjustments completely nothing: Anetra, Luxx, Mistress and Sasha stay within the operating to turn out to be America’s Subsequent Drag Famous person, and they’ll all return for the grand finale in two weeks.
Your ideas on this week’s episode? That double shantay? The Prime 4 basically? No matter’s in your thoughts, drop it in a remark under.
