![]() In the performance itself, I was hysterical watching her totter around the other girls with her giant breastplate swinging around. ![]() Her ‘get it done’ attitude and willingness to try even far out of her comfort zone as she was singing and dancing is a joy to watch. After this episode, I’m rooting for her to win. Kita seems to be getting a fairly good edit as a strong contender, with Anita getting an underdog edit, so I have faith Anita will prevail. Kita and Anita, the two New Zealand queens with experience and money for looks (and the hosts of the television show House of Drag in New Zealand) are the rivalry I want them to exploit. It’s a dissonance that ultimately lands her in the bottom again, which I can’t say I disagree with. However the performer on the runway is much more watered down. Having seen her perform live prior to the show, I’d agree with this. In her confessionals, she appears to be a brutally direct, villainous queen who is confident in her performance ability. There was a strange rivalry between Scarlett Adams and Etcetera Etcetera, with the latter giving a great many notes to everyone on the team and seeming to be oblivious to causing any irritation, and Scarlett being determined to showcase herself and win win win.Ĭoco Jumbo is a confusing character to me. But moving on to the all-singing, all-dancing maxi challenge. Even the drama teased last week was a fake-out. They select queens with very little fuss, saving the gorgeous Maxi Shield for last, but she dgaf so it’s fine. I guess rampant sponsorship and product placement has made the leap from the United States, even if Ru herself may not have.Īrbitrarily, Elektra and Scarlett are chosen as winners, setting them up for their storylines nicely. The mini challenge was a stupid (as Michelle Visage says later in the episode, ‘the highest compliment on this show’) Baywatch-themed, slo-mo advertisement for Manscaper. It’s hard to argue with the fact that Karen is getting a winner’s edit but I can see her not wanting this pointed out. It was interesting that Art chose to name Karen From Finance as the winner of the season (hearkening all the way back to US season 3 when Mariah Paris Balenciaga said ‘Condragulations Raja’) and also that Karen seemed so visibly miffed by this. I love Art, but I also love a villain and Coco’s complete lack of respect for and joy at sending Art home must be celebrated for that, regardless of the pettiness. Just after Art’s elimination, reading her mirror message, we get to see that Coco’s ‘soz bitch’ from last week was in fact meant in a cruel way. So perhaps he’s never really there.īut that aside, this episode was fairly by-the-numbers. Ru doesn’t normally get physically close to anyone in a normal series, so it all seems above board to me. And I’ve come up with a big, I have no idea. And it’s been a fascinating ride that forced me to evaluate every moment he was on screen and mentally compare it to other seasons. I’ve been reading recently some conspiracy theories that say that Rupaul Charles actually never went to New Zealand to shoot Rupaul’s Drag Race Down Under. For me there were definitely some standouts but it seems I was not aligned with the judges at all this week. But did they do a pretty great job all around? I guess it depends on your opinion. Did our Aussie (and Kiwi) girls give us the next Frock Destroyers? No. An Australian girl group episode and not a Bardot member in sight? I hate to see it.
