I have no more critiques to give this season.
Everything I said before holds true: Its boring and forgettable, and it has no stakes.
Notably, this season feels further from the center of discourse than perhaps anyDrag Raceseason before it.
People arent watching it, arent sharing the moments from it, arent discussing it.
This season is, uhhh … not causing that kind of stir.
And I get it!
I would never miss an episode.
But, remarkably,Drag Raceis coming off such a successful season and the next thing it produces isthis.
Within the context of this season, this episode is perfectly fine.
I like sewing challenges.
Some of the looks were successful.
The lip sync was good.
Thats about all I can ask.
The episode opens with yet another discussion of blocking.
This time, Gottmik is pissed that Angeria is using strategy, which is reasonable.
I wish it would have paid off this week, honestly.
I dont think Vanjie necessarily has a mind for strategy.
We move swiftly to the mini-challenge this week, where the girls have to photobomb.
It is good enough, if not particularly exciting.
Nina wins, yay for Nina.
They should make the prizes for these mini-challenges more standard; lately, theyve just been random.
Jorgeous got a star one time?
Remember onAll Winnerswhen the girls had to sew outfits that looked like RuPaul outfits?
Or last season when they had to sew outfits based on previousAll Starswinners but not Chad or Alaska?
Nina is picked last to choose her box, and the show tries to pretend like shes super offended.
Why would she be?
Nina doesnt push it.
This is what I mean about no stakes.
There is little to no tension this week.
Her connection to Shannel, as one of the girls in the first season, is real.
They should really bring back Rebecca Glasscock.
Everyone talks about how much they want to win this challenge, and I believe a few of them.
She really does seem determined.
Lets just get to what everybodys here for: the runway.
Plastique Tiara gets Star Baby.
Stars are not really my style, and I think this is a little tacky.
Its really remarkable stuff.
Jorgeous is unlucky to follow Plastique.
The judges like Gottmiks braided dress, but I think its ugly.
Im a defender of Miks season-13 ball win, but I cant put my weight behind this.
Its bulky and the silhouette is bland.
I cant tell if Shannel is trying or not.
This outfit is passable but ugly.
Its not even tasteless in a fun, Shannel way.
Its just loud but small.
Roxxxys Lady Cowboy is perfection; she looks amazing.
Perfectly tailored to her body.
Its leather and denim in a sexy way and looks designer-created.
In fact, this is probably Ninas best look all season.
Take this as a lesson, Nina West!
Angeria wears that sculpted hair she wears all the time.
She looks polished, per usual, but Angerias not one to push herself in terms of design.
Plastique and Roxxxy correctly win, meaning all the huffing and puffing about Miks snippers didnt matter.
Again, per the uzh.
That is not what happened.
The two lip-sync to No One Gets the Prize, and Roxxxy unhinges her jaw and swallows Plastique whole.
The song is all about personality, and when it comes to lip-syncing, Plastique continues to have none.
Roxxxys back off is an all-time good line delivery.
Would I like to see Mik in there over Plastique?
But if that doesnt happen, Ill be okay.
Its not like this season had any stakes anyway.
