RuPaul's Drag Race: Frock the Vote

 Last week, Willam won the challenge, but was kicked off the show for "breaking a rule" of the show. We don't know what said rule was, but she is outta here. We won't find out what rule was broken until the reunion show, which is a damn shame. 

Last week, Ru didn’t eliminate anyone, which was sort of too bad. I felt that either Yara or Carmen could have gone and I wouldn’t be sad. Neither of them are going to win this thing, so keeping them around seems a bit silly.

The mini challenge this week is Rusical Chairs. The ladies have to finish the lyrics to the songs when the music stops, and the challenge will be done in high heels (which they are all super jazzed about). Carmen is trying to control the game by purposely being the last person standing who has to continue the song. Luckily, during the second song, she doesn’t know the lyrics, and is out. Manila is the eventual winner.

The main challenge for this week for the ladies to record a new song by Ru, and each will do so in a different style of music. They select musical styles and then get to the rehearsing. All of the ladies agree that Yara does not sound good. While rehearsing, she sounds like Gloria on Modern Family on her karaoke machine.

Stacy Layne Matthews left us last week, thank goodness. She wasn’t on par with the other ladies at all. This week we start with a mini challenge, that is sort of about “reading”. I think they are like roasting each other? People call Delta all sorts of fat, Raja gets called old in many different ways, thankfully someone comments on Yara’s crazy contacts, and mostly it is isn’t funny. I never really find roasting amusing, though, so I don’t know.

This leads into the challenge of the week, which is a stand up comedy performance. The ladies must create a drag look to go with the routines. They plan their shows, and they get the opportunity to show Rita Rudner some of their stuff before the show. She gives each of them feedback, but we don’t see much because they are saving their acts for later. Carmen has nothing prepared and doesn’t seem to understand that she needs to do so. As the challenge nears, Delta becomes increasingly worried about her performance.

Ru greets us on the mainstage looking gorgeous with straight hair. I usually prefer the curls, but this look is great. Guest judges this week are Rita Rudner and comedienne Arden Myrin (of Mad TV fame, I am told). They bring some live audience members into the mainstage area, and the show begins. Break down of each performance below!

Boldly Tuck Where No Man Has Tucked Before

Welcome to week two! I get very excited when the opening credits role on this show because I know I am in for some zany, yet fabulous times. The ladies dwell on Venus D-lite’s exit and people mostly react by having it set in that the competition is on. The first shemail of the day comes in, and a gorgeous lady Ru tells us that the girls will have to “boldly tuck where no man has tucked before”. Immediately following this, the man Rupaul comes into the room and it is jarring, as always. The ladies are asked to pair up into teams and will have to communicate psychically to match answers about their partners clothing (that they can’t see).

Raja and Delta: I think these two are friends  from before because Raja tells us that Delta knows all about her (including how many cab drivers she has slept with). They get 1 out of three questions correct. Mariah and Phoenix are next--we only hear two of their questions, but they only get one correct. The remaining pairs are Carmen and someone who is unnamed, Stacy and Alexis, Shangela and India, and finally Mimi and Yara. The winners are Phoenix and Mariah. The next challenge is to shoot scenes for the movie Drag Queens in Outer Space and the two winners pick teams.
