Everyone in the video does a good job and it’s just astronomically better than the other two. All the previews were trying to make it seem like Sasha flops, when she’s actually the hands down winner. We watch the final videos and wow is Team Anetra’s good. She wasn’t the only queen who went with gold but I think she did it best. And my absolute favorite look was Mistress. The runway theme is metallic and there are a wide variety of looks including Anetra paying tribute to Chromatica, Marcia paying tribute to the Tin Man, and Jax paying tribute to Mortal Kombat which is apparently her namesake. But the most exciting part is definitely that Ts Madison is a regular judge. I didn’t know this person previously and she wasn’t the best judge, but everything she said in Untucked was really sweet so she won me over. The judges are Michelle, Ts Madison, and country singer Maren Morris. Amid the challenges and competition, Drag Race has always been a snapshot of queer lives. She was kicked out at 17 and had to support herself through drag. Mistress says she also grew up religious but her family wasn’t as accepting. But now her mom is her biggest supporter. Malaysia talks about growing up Baptist and feeling like being gay is a sin. What isn’t cut for time is the queens sharing their queer trauma in the work room. I loved this! Usually with acting challenges we see the jokes played over and over so the finished products fall kind of flat. Michelle is directing the three teams and we get a brief look at Sugar riffing and Jax feeling like the concept isn’t working, Sasha freezing up a bit, and Team Amethyst kind of bombing, but we don’t spend a long time on any of them. If you were wondering how the editors were going to fit all these queens into an hour, the answer revealed itself in the next segment. Mistress is also annoyed that Jax is taking charge, but somebody has to! Sorry, sorry, childhood group project trauma is coming out. My fave Jax shares my annoyance and tells Sugar to switch spots with her. I don’t need to justify my annoyance with political righteousness, but if I were to do that I’d bring up Sugar saying “cracked out Beyoncé.” I know her whole thing is dressing like an ignorant white girl from the early 2000s - doesn’t mean she has to talk like one. There is immediate tension on the leftovers team, because Sugar won’t shut the fuck up pitching a concept that makes no sense. The leftovers are Jax, Mistress, Sugar, Malaysia, and Robin. She goes with Loosey, Aura, Spice, and Poppy. As the winner of the lip sync, Amethyst gets to pick next. She goes with Luxx, Sasha, EsTitties, and Marcia. It’s the kind of themed challenge that makes you go, wow we really are on season fifteen, huh? As the winner of last week, Anetra gets to pick her team first. The maxi challenge this week is afterlife infomercials. In the confessional, Amethyst said she ended it. (Sorry Irene.) Robin and Amethyst carry over talk of their past fling from Untucked and say that it ended mutually. We begin in the aftermath of Irene’s departure, a queen we’ll barely remember in two months when the show ends. I know it’s to promote MTV’s Rich Fags of WeHo or whatever but can I be honest? In this case, I am not a size queen. Spoilers below.įrom supersized to bite-sized! Last week’s gargantuan two-episode premiere is in the past and the new hour-long (plus Untucked) format is here to stay. This is a recap of RuPaul’s Drag Race episode 1503.
