Condragulations, Leslie Jones, you are the winner of last week's Drag Race challenge
, during which critical rivalries are formed and the wheat of the competition is separated from the chaff, giving fans characters to root for and against while casting off the riffraff. It’s critical to the gameplay, but lord almighty can it get dull.
The workroom challenge, wherein the queens were made to create ball looks from sports balls, ostensibly just so everyone could make jokes about testicles, was mostly a good time to freshen one’s Absolute Cocktail in the privacy of our self-isolation Interior Illusions lounges, save two things. The first is that Jaida’s singing while she sewed put me very much in the mind of two other queens who annoyed their way to infamy by singing in the workroom: The Other Tyra and Willam.
Another subplot carried over from last week is Brita’s rapid decline in confidence. She seemed to come into the competition under the assumption that her standing in New York would make her a natural competitor. But what Ross said of Rock M. Sakura’s tetherball ball couture—“If she did that in the club, people would go crazy for it”—points to a truth too many queens seem to forget in the workroom. The television is not the club, and different rules apply.
Another winner, to me at least, was Widow Von’Du, for the way she seems to be quietly, yet consistently revolutionizing expectations for padding and body shapes. While most queens, no matter their body type, tend to cinch themselves into rib-distorting territory in order to create a painful-looking hourglass figure, Widow is beautifully building out her top and lower halves, creating a naturally smaller waist that doesn’t look painful.
runway is the fact that rural queens don’t seem to have brought as many clothes as the other contestants. While Aiden’s first look,tribute, was praised by judges who ultimately had issues with her ball gown look, that outfit was also a fairly simple, most likely store-bought dress. I foresee this causing problems in the future, much like it did for Chi Chi in an earlier season—last week, Aiden basically wore an oversized sweater accessorized with Goody barrettes down the runway.
