Even though Natalie Cole thought Madame should be in the bottom 2, Dida and the Princess were asked to lip-sync for their lives in response to their fumbling, meek infomercial performances. Dida's high-energy and connection to the song outshined The Princess which led RuPaul to ask her to stay and The Princess to sashay away.
At the beginning of the episode, the queens praise Dida's high-energy lip-sync from the previous episode, which Dida said came from anger towards the judges for judging her so harshly.
They also discuss the fact that Sharon now has two wins in three episodes. Phi Phi says that she assumed Sharon would win the previous challenge because she gave Sharon "a character that she could excel at," leading to tension between the two later in the episode. For the mini-challenge, the queens are paired up to pose for memorable mug shots, for which they will do each other's makeup while handcuffed together.
Willam and Madame LaQueer win the mini-challenge for their creative idea of covering each other with blue paint and saying that they robbed a bank so they would be covered with a blue dye that is kept in the vaults. For winning, the two become team captains for the main challenge: act in a sitcom "Hot in Tuckahoe" set in a jail. After appearing in their best red-carpet attire, team Willam is declared the winning team, with Latrice's sassy, hilarious performance earning her the win. Team Madame receives largely negative reviews.
Dida's polish is once again admonished, but her performance in the challenge was highly praised, keeping her out of the bottom two. Sharon's attitude during the challenge gets her in trouble, but she is also safe. Even so, Kenya is safe. Madame's botched up job as team leader, as well as her sloppy performance, lands her in the bottom two alongside Milan, whom the judges felt wasn't shining through for having an acting background. During the lip sync, Milan splits, death-drops, and rips her dress and wig off trying to do what Dida did the previous week.
Madame also tears off her wig but she only stands in one single place, not giving the performance the song required, so she sashays away. For the mini-challenge, the contestants participate in a game called "Beat the Cock" a pun on the game show Beat the Clock. Three contestants compete against one another in three preliminary rounds that lead up to a "cocktacular finale".
The winner of the challenge is promised a call home. The final round of Beat the Cockpits Phi Phi, Dida, and Milan in "Lay an Egg," where each queen navigates a wig-head obstacle course while tucking raw eggs between their thighs.
Phi Phi succeeds in winning Beat the Cock, though she gives her prize phone-call home to Chad Michaels who would be celebrating an eight-year anniversary with his boyfriend if he weren't on the show. The main challenge is revealed to be this season's installment of "Snatch Game": a comedic game show in which the episodes' celebrity guest judges star as contestants and the queens impersonate female celebrities of their own choosing.
Jiggly, Phi Phi, and Kenya are openly critiqued by Latrice for their "unprofessional" behavior during the Snatch Game. She scolds them for interrupting RuPaul and the tone of their performances; described on Untucked! On the runway, DiDa, Latrice, and Jiggly are declared safe.
Chad Michaels is praised for his giraffe-print outfit and his impersonation of Cher, which is his claim to fame as a drag performer. Though Willam and Sharon also have exceptional performances, Chad is named the winner of the challenge.
Phi Phi, Kenya, and Milan are singled out for their poor impersonations of the celebrities they were trying to imitate. Milan also receives criticism for wearing a tuxedo a la Janelle Monae as a man in a drag competition - Michelle Visage calls her a "drag king".
Kenya's performance as Beyonce is also declared by RuPaul to be very uncomfortable to watch, as it was over the top and dramatic. Phi Phi is declared safe but Rupaul warns her to bring her A game in the next challenge. Ultimately, Kenya and Milan are placed in the bottom two and both provide energetic renditions of the song, even death-dropping at the same time. Milan's homage to voguing makes him safe and sends Kenya home.
The queens design ship-shaped floats for a Pride Parade runway extravaganza. One color from the 8-stripe rainbow flag was randomly assigned to each contestant by Willam, who won the wet T-shirt contest mini-challenge. Jiggly Caliente noticeably slowed the queens on their way to the runway, unready when most of the girls were finished.
She also had troubles designing her boat. During the judges' critiques, Latrice's look was praised, especially her rhinestone makeup called "artwork" by Michelle Visage , as her boat, emanating "chicness" through the eyes of Billy B, but was reprimanded for the boots that she wore too frequently.
Chad Michaels' showgirl ensemble was not fashion-forward enough and once again she was critiqued for her wish to be perfect every time. Willam's look and boat were appreciated, while Milan was called vulgar and "dude in a dress". Jiggly Caliente disappointed the judges for her boat which left a sensation of unfinished work, and her cape which hid a swimsuit that the judges liked. Dida's boat was not shining enough while her outfit was more pedestrian than "drag queen". Phi Phi received all -round praise for her boat and her look, receiving a compliment from Billy B.
Both girls delivered high-energy performances. However, due to committing the drag felony of ripping her wig and outfit off, and also for landing in the bottom two three challenges in a row, Milan was told to sashay away, while Jiggly got to stay for another week.
The contenders' challenge was to produce a magazine cover. The magazines were shared out among the queens by Latrice Royale, who won the mini-challenge. Dida Ritz seems to take her magazine too seriously, while Jiggly Caliente is pushed to do humor by the other contestants and RuPaul himself, but is afraid of not succeeding.
Willam gets undressed and tries to be funny, putting lampshades over the Pit Crew members' heads. Sharon Needles is aiming to put humor on her cover, donning a Grey Gardens-inspired ensemble.
During the judges' critiques on the runway, Chad Michaels' cover was considered to be out of fashion, and Michelle Visage thought that she didn't take enough risks on her runway look. Dida Ritz's cover got some positive critiques, but the judges emphasized that the proportions of her body weren't exploited correctly.
Michelle Visage demanded to Sharon Needles to try real glamour, while her cover received positive critiques. Latrice Royale's gown and magazine cover were considered too heavy and lackluster. Jiggly Caliente was criticized for not using humor. Phi Phi's dress was highly praised, considered by the judges as the best she had worn since the beginning of the competition, while her cover was considered fresh and funny.
Willam's look was appreciated but her was challenged for his five o'clock shadow, and his diva behavior. Phi Phi is declared the winner of the challenge, earning a cruise. They both gave a good performance, however, this was Jiggly's third time in the bottom two, and Jiggly was asked to sashay away.
The girls return to the work room and find that their mini challenge is not an actual mini challenge this time. Each girl is hooked up to a polygraph machine and given a lie detector test through a series of questions asked by RuPaul. After the questioning, RuPaul reveals the main challenge for the girls: a live performance duet and sing an original song "So Much Better Than You" between two queens who have the least in common with each other, AKA "frenemies".
During the judges' critiques, Latrice and Willam are praised for their cohesive and campy style, but are warned from overdoing physical humor. Chad and Dida receive critiques for a lack of balance between Dida's high energy and Chad's professional demeanor.
Phi Phi and Sharon are praised for their individual looks, but are called out for losing their harmony during the song, and for being "too nice" during their performance and losing the "frenemy" feeling. Latrice and Willam are declared the winners of the challenge. Yes, you, reader. Then the ladies all take turns doing cartwheels, and Monique has capital-D Difficulty.
I would have kept it, but, hey. She looks like a pop star, and the other girls are taking notice. How exactly can Monique and Naomi compete with this? I feel an extremely good vibe and buzz around her this episode. Proving that there is so much yet to explore, Monique Heart reveals that she was once pounds.
This is a really shocking reveal and truly just goes to show how far this person has come to get where she is today. And, hello?! I want to hear this episode of the podcast! Naomi, too, discusses a compelling personal narrative with the judges relating to her compulsion to be fierce and stunning at all times.
She argues that she is, first and foremost, a drag queen, and I do think she has proven herself to be greater than the sum of her stems this year. I hate to say that Ru shows favoritism toward any one contestant, but it is very clear to me that there is something about Trinity that she gravitates toward. I get it! The next day, the girls enter the workroom to find Chad, Alaska, and Trixie waiting for them.
They are here to lay a twist on the ladies: that they will be the ones who decide who wins All Stars. This is one of the most unreal twists of the season, and it is fake. And honestly? Thank fucking God.
Todrick joins the regular judges to watch the finale performance, and Alaska, Chad, and Trixie join the contestants as the band. You can just tell she does this. This is her. She deserves to be top two. Monique Heart is a star, full out, but it feels like the previous competitor just laid it all out there and a bar has been set. Yes, she gags us on the runway. Yes, she surprises us more often than not when it comes to performance challenges this season.
But does she feel like the winner of this season? Really ask yourself that. When Trinity the Tuck enters, you know a star has hit the stage. Her super queen outfit is the most memorable and stands out amongst everything going on onstage.
You could make the solid argument that, out of everyone here, she should have won her original season. Extra special guest judges Kacey Musgraves and Ciara. The Super Queens impersonate celebrities to win the hearts of hunky bachelors.
