Episode Overview

This episode of Sibling Watchery features Monét X Change and Bob the Drag Queen recapping and reviewing RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18, Episode 14, titled “Good Morning Bitches.” As the competition approaches the finale, the queens are challenged to host a live-to-tape morning show in pairs, a twist on the show’s traditional song/dance finales. The queens and hosts address the emotional fallout from Jane Doan’s elimination, the mechanics and fairness of the challenge, and, of course, read and review the queens’ runway looks and performances with characteristic wit and shade.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Opening Banter & Catch-Up

• The episode kicks off with the usual Monét and Bob dynamic: banter about food poisoning, traveling for shows, and Monét’s mohawk wig (01:07–06:38).
• The hosts mention being tired from recent touring and thank fans for attending their shows.

Memorable Quotes

• Monét: "To quote Bob the Drag Queen, I am not well today. Bob, I’ve literally been peeing from my butthole for the past 24 hours." (01:17)
• Bob: “If your kids look at me, I mug them back. I just want y' all to know that if your kid stares at me, I’m mugging back.” (06:09)

---

2. Emotional Fallout from Jane Doan's Elimination

• The queens in the werkroom are emotional after Jane’s exit, with Darlene particularly devastated (08:20).
• Discussion of friendship and support systems—Monét reflects on never having imposter syndrome in Drag Race, while Bob notes some queens lack sisterhood outside the show (08:39–09:48).

Notable Moments

• Bob: "Maybe this is her first time having a real sisterhood." (09:09)
• Monét: “But she said that Jane made her feel worthy of being in the competition…. I guess I never felt that in drag.” (08:39)

---

3. The “Good Morning Bitches” Challenge

• The main challenge: co-hosting a morning talk show, a departure from typical finale formats (10:45–13:52).
• Monét and Bob critique the challenge’s anticlimactic nature and question why there isn’t a music video or dance challenge this season.
• Conversation digresses into the selection of pairs: Mikey Meeks & Darlene Mitchell, Nene Coco & Juicy Love Dion. Mikey’s reluctance to work with Juicy is noted for drama (13:57–15:36).

Notable Quotes

• Bob: “For a last challenge, this was kind of whack.” (11:51)
• Monét: “It felt very anticlimactic, very boring.” (11:59)
• Bob: "Off rip, I already know Darlene and Mikey are going to win." (15:06)

---

4. Behind the Scenes & Tic Tac Lunch

• Monét and Bob reminisce about their own experiences with RuPaul’s one-on-one talks and the meaning (or lack thereof) behind the show’s “full circle moments.” (18:32–20:21)
• Lively sidebar: what do engineers actually do? Led by Nene’s background as an HVAC engineer (20:21–22:22).
• Juicy Love Dion opens up about being reserved due to her relationship with her father and internalized homophobia (21:36–22:22).

---

5. Challenge Rehearsals & Dynamics

• Juicy and Nene’s pairing lacks synergy; brainstorming session leads to awkward moments and questionable ideas, which Bob firmly says can be “bad ideas” (17:34).
• Juicy’s raw vulnerability about being quieter due to her father’s machismo is a standout moment (21:36–22:22).

Memorable Line

• Monét: “Bob, when you’re brainstorming, there are no bad ideas.”
• Bob: “I do believe it is a safe place to say your ideas out loud. But I do actually believe there are bad ideas.” (17:08–17:17)

---

6. The Performances: Good Morning Bitches

Nene Coco & Juicy Love Dion (25:53–28:57)

• Awkward energy; their show is called out for too many dirty jokes and lack of comedic timing.
• Juicy’s repeated sexual innuendo makes even Ross Matthews uncomfortable (26:14–27:38).
• Bob: “It’s not that she was making dirty jokes. It’s that the dirty jokes weren’t funny, which is why Ross was cringing.” (26:14)

Mikey Meeks & Darlene Mitchell (29:07–30:55)

• Natural chemistry, solid improv, and stand-out comedy from Mikey (“Can I say motherfucker on TV?”) (29:23).
• Darlene’s “backyard barbecue walk” is a comic highlight.
• Zayn Phillips (guest) seems to genuinely enjoy himself in both pairs, despite the awkwardness of the first team.

Notable Quotes

• Bob: “Mikey is the funniest person this season. …I think Mikey killed it.” (29:35–29:52)
• Monét: “Mikey’s DTCs, directing hammers and jokes felt very natural… Some of it was probably off the cuff.” (29:54)

---

7. Runway Critiques

(33:04–39:08)

• Juicy Love Dion: Bob and Monét disproportionately dislike Juicy’s gold dress (“arts and crafts disaster”).
• Nene Coco: Praised for a hand-painted, graphic, designer look. Inspires debate over whether this kind of self-referential drag is unique.
• Mikey Meeks: The chicken wire star shoulder is universally panned.
• Darlene Mitchell: Love/hate over her hair (“needs to go in a fire”) and lack of padding (“titties”).
• Discussion on trends of not wearing breastplate padding and how perspectives change over seasons.

Memorable Quotes

• Monét (on Darlene’s hair): “This hair needs to go in a fucking fire and set on fire with kerosene and ethanol and burn it to hell.” (37:43)
• Bob (on Juicy’s look): "It's just not... I don't like it." (34:41)
• Bob (on shifting norms): "I've kind of gotten accustomed to no titties." (38:22)

---

8. Judges’ Critiques & Results

• Judges mirror many of Bob & Monét’s points; they especially love Darlene & Mikey’s pairing and harshly critique Juicy for being “too sexual.”
• RuPaul’s emotional soft spot for sobriety is highlighted—a running Drag Race motif.
• Mikey and Darlene win the challenge; Nene and Juicy are the bottom two and lip sync (41:21–43:01).

Lip Sync & Elimination

• Both Monét and Bob agree that Juicy lost, with Nene’s dress hindering her performance.
• They debate the merits of allowing costume changes for the final lip sync and the fairness in elimination logic as the season progresses toward the finale.

---

9. Predictions & Discussion: Who Will Win?

• The queens’ track records and audience “likes” are analyzed; Instagram and Twitter engagement leans heavily toward Darlene, though Mikey has been the frontrunner in Bob and Monét’s eyes for weeks (49:09–51:54).
• Lively debate on what makes a drag queen unique: is it “quirkiness,” conceptual design, or simply not fitting the mold?

Quotes

• Bob: "People love an underdog." (51:26)
• Monét (on Darlene): "She better lean on her fashion design degree and come up with some fierce shit." (51:30)

---

Memorable Quotes & Moments (with Timestamps)

• Monét:
  “I want everyone to know real quick, I got a big, fat, meaty ass horse dick. That shit is hanging.” (24:11)
• Bob:
  “If your kids look at me, I mug them back.” (06:09)
  “For a last challenge, this was kind of whack.” (11:51)
  “Mikey is the funniest person this season, easily.” (29:35)
• Bob: "People love an underdog." (51:26)
• Monét:
  “This hair needs to go in a fucking fire and set on fire with kerosene and ethanol and burn it to hell.” (37:43)
• Bob: “I just don’t even recognize the Drag Race I’m watching now.” (24:47)
• Monét (predicting the result):
  "I think Mikey Meeks is winning Drag Race, but Sasha Velour's Shea Coulee situation could happen." (48:06)

Final Thoughts

• Bob and Monét agree: Mikey Meeks deserves the win, but Darlene’s “underdog” momentum and creative approach are strong contenders.
• The challenge format is panned for lacking finale-worthy drama; the queens’ personalities and drag artistry (plus the fan vote) are as crucial as ever.
• The episode concludes with their signature bickering: debates about drag innovation, sassy refusals to apologize, and classic “Sibling Rivalry” playful insults.

For Next Week

The finale is fast approaching, with a predicted “Lollaparuza” lip sync showdown. Both hosts are eager to see how the top three queens—Mikey Meeks, Nene Coco, and Darlene Mitchell—will shine (or flop) under pressure.

If you missed this episode, you missed sharp reads, bold opinions, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments—classic Sibling Rivalry.

[A]

I'm Kiana. And I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like I can't stop. I'm addicted. Start your free [e-mail].

Hallelu.

[B]

Oh, it's like Shangela's real hair?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I guess it's a lot bigger, but, yeah, it does kind of look like her hair bigger. And Alyssa Edwards, too.

[A]

People in the comments said, I'm triggered by this hair from this week's episode.

[B]

Y' all are doing too much in this episode. Jesus Christ.

[A]

It really, y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

At the top of the episode, we said, this is for entertainment purposes. Why is everyone so up in arms? And also, I'm sorry, the comments saying, like, of course I tickled me, though.

[B]

Of course.

[A]

Even their therapist is white.

[B]

He's not my therapist.

[A]

He is.

[B]

He was. He did a therapy version for, you know, our thing. But, yeah, yeah, guys, you got me. I do know white people.

[A]

I know some.

[B]

You got me. But also, the truth is, it doesn't matter how many black people you know. Like, they made their mind up that we only know white people. It doesn't matter how many black people we know. It literally doesn't. It's not a factor. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how many people work at Purse First Studios. It doesn't matter how many friends we hang out with. It literally doesn't matter. They've just decided that we only talk to white people. They've made their minds up.

[A]

That's what it is. Ashanna said, I like the episode. The wig was so distracting.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Yo, this must be. I wore this when I flew home this weekend. I was at the airport just like this.

[B]

I wore a big wig at the airport one time. This one kid kept looking at me, and it really pissed me off. So I look back. If your kids look at me, I mug them back. I just want y' all to know that if your kid stares at me, I'm mugging back. You're home, bitch. Why didn't we come over here?

[A]

Oh, I don't know. I don't know if you were home. Weren't you just somewhere?

[B]

You were somewhere, too. They got planes.

[A]

I thought yours was a. I thought you were Friday, Saturday, Sunday. You were. You were Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

[B]

We used to do four shows at work.

[A]

Got to tell y', all, five show weekends. I'm very really quick shout out to all the people in Dallas who came out to see the High Heels Bad News Comedy tour. I'm very grateful for y'. All. I. I had what an amazing set of shows. Over a thousand of you guys came out, and I am very grateful. Five show weekends. I feel like today I feel like someone ran a bus over me. Aren't you exhausted for Five shows.

[B]

Grease. Do eight a week on Broadway.

[A]

No, but.

[B]

And I've also done a five show weekend on Broadway, too. Five shows in one weekend on Broadway?

[A]

I mean, well, I never have.

[B]

Well, so, you know, it's a lot, but I did it.

[A]

Oh, yes. So what y' all can do is. Y'.

[C]

All.

[A]

I am. I. I still have more dates. Next. This coming week, I am in Madison, Wisconsin. I'm in Madison, Wisconsin, at one of the greatest comedy clubs in America.

[B]

Comedy on State, people in your video, in your picture, Danc.

[A]

And I'm coming to Chicago and Milwaukee next weekend. So if you listen to this, go to Chicago at the Park West. I really want to sell the park west out, y'. All. So please, if you're in Chicago, tell your friends, tell your cousins to come see me at the park west in Chicago on April 16th. Thank you.

[B]

Okay. And just so you guys know, I just did some shows at the Funny Bone in Kansas City. It was nice. Fantastic. I'm doing a show at the Comedy Store. It's a very small show. Me, Zach Noye Towers, Jasmine W. And a couple other comedians will be doing a show there. I'm in Dayton, Ohio, at the Dayton Funny Bone. Um, I'm gonna be. That's on April 10th and 11th. And then on April 17th, 18th and 19th, I'll be in Greenville, South Carolina, at the Comedy Zone. At some point, we gotta talk about RuPaul's Drag Race, right? At some point, we're gonna have to have a conversation about RuPaul's Drag Race, so.

[A]

Well, this week, the girls are coming after one of the frontrunners of the season. Jane Doan got eliminated, and the girls are feeling it. Darlene is boohooing, bitch. She is sobbing, crying, throwing up, peeing. She very broken up about Jane's elimination.

[B]

I didn't know they were that close. I had no clue.

[A]

I knew post Drag Race, like, post Drag Race. I've seen a lot of their posts together. They clearly have, like, have made a strong friendship. But she said that Jane made her feel worthy of being in the competition. And I just have to say, like, so before. So if Jane Dunt wasn't there, you would have felt like you weren't worthy to be on Drag Race then? I guess I never felt that in drag. Even season 10, when I was not my best and I wasn't the fiercest I could be, I still felt very worthy to be there. I didn't feel like. I guess I'm also not someone I don't really suffer from. Imposter syndrome like that.

[B]

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe she, I actually can't figure out what's going on. But she, you know, she doesn't get out, she doesn't have a lot of drag sisters. She lives in her, she, she stay at home. She do drag for the best, stays at home. So maybe this is her first time having a real sisterhood. It seems like the last time she was up in drag was she was maybe, maybe doing a little, little drinking.

[A]

Yeah, you know, the booze, the booze was flowing back then.

[B]

But Jay's elimination seems to hit people. This seems to be the, the roughest this season. The girls are really feeling it and then when they reset, they kind of realize, oh shit, the biggest competition is gone. Ding dong, the witch is dead. And now they're feeling good about themselves again.

[A]

Yeah, and I also, I think it's so funny. Cause y', all, these girls are broken up. They're tired, they're, they're crying, they're so, they're like dry heaving crying. And then five minutes later, woo.

[B]

Top four.

[A]

Yes, honey, we're the top four. I was like, damn, y' all really move on really quickly, huh?

[B]

Ashana 888 says Jane posted about her experience with Darlene and said the feeling was mutual. They bonded there. By the way, if you guys want to join us and have watch us live as we record these, you can join our patreon at the very top tier. But yeah, I mean, obviously they're probably going to feel good that she's not there. But it did hurt because it seems like Jane really just got along with everyone. Everyone seems to like Jane. No one seems to have anything bad to say about her. People just really the only thing I had to say was like, wow, she's doing really well. But no one seemed to, no one seemed to have any beef or issue with Jane. So shout out to her. The next day, RuPaul tells the girl they're gonna be doing a morning show while working in pairs, and they have to film it live to tape.

[A]

We're gonna do it. What is it? Fuck it. We're gonna do it live.

[B]

We'll do it live. We'll do it live. Fuck it.

[A]

It's called Good morning bitches. And I think they've done iterations of this before, right? They did it on season nine. I think they did another one. They've done this like kind of talk show. I don't know if it's ever been packaged as a daytime talk show before. Like, before. But they've done this talk show iteration in past seasons before.

[B]

And also a quick shout out. You know, we have a show called the Morning show over at PFS Press First Studios. You can catch it. This week was me and Pink Fox. We have Zachnoy Towers, Amber Wallen, Jasmine W. Nene Alashiro, Nene Elishiro, Kevin Sullivan, Solomon Giorgio. Some really, really great comedians. A lot of black people. Sorry, I'm so upset about it.

[A]

And yeah, the girls had to work in periods of white people.

[B]

Don't, don't, don't, don't sue me.

[A]

They work in appearance, which I. Again, I've said it several times. I don't have a group project. But. And it being. Why do you think. Why do you think they didn't do a music video this year or a song dance?

[B]

I don't know. Does RuPaul have a new song? I don't know. They should have done some kind of. I do think that for a last challenge, this was kind of whack.

[A]

It felt very anticlimactic, very boring.

[B]

I mean, my final challenge on my season was also not. We did. We did that spoof on Strangers with Candy. Was our final day on the.

[A]

No. Wasn't it the realness.

[B]

Oh, shit. It was the realness. You're right. Nevermind. It was the realness.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Which was great. Nevermind. That was fantastic. Love that.

[A]

That's that shot of kimchi on that damn table looking like a damn drowning salmon.

[B]

I thought she looked great. Kimchi had the best shot.

[A]

Well, when y' all were filming it, when they were like. Cause she. Remember, she was on the table. She was getting wrapped up in the thing. She was falling off of the thing.

[B]

But then she hit that little. That little. That little pivot, that little turn, and she looked really good.

[A]

A bunny rancher said anything to get rid of Juicy. Now that's a conspiracy. On Twitter and threads, people are like, oh, which y'. All. I don't think they're modifying challenges to specifically get rid of girls.

[B]

Yeah, they built your whole set just to get rid of Juicy.

[A]

That's what I'm saying. Like, that's not practical. Like, sure, Juicy didn't shine in that type of challenge, but I do not think draggers are spending all their resources. Like, we gotta get rid of her. Like, I don't think that's how that works.

[B]

Also, no Shade. Based on the challenge we've seen, it would not be hard to get rid of Juicy. I mean, Juicy flopped at a. Guys, no shade. A lot of challenges. She got a lot of help along the way.

[A]

Well, I think they're saying that's why they didn't do a dancing one, because that. Cause she'll be a sure in, like. She will be a sure. But I don't think that video is

[B]

never really about dancing. Like, what music video challenge is about dancing? I mean, you dance in them. It's a small part of it. But, like, what music video was, like, this is all about the dance.

[A]

Well, it's performance, and dance is a big part of the performance.

[B]

Yeah, but, like, I don't know. I've seen a lot of people do a lot of things in the videos that are, like, camp and fun. It's not just about, like, dancing, really. Well, I mean, in ours, arguably, Chi Chi was the best dancer out of our group, but she didn't make the cut in the last episode, and I don't think it was because of her dancing. Anyway, what I'm saying is it's a bit of a stretch, is what I'm saying.

[A]

Yeah. And the girls get to choose their partners, so they all.

[B]

And Mikey does not want to work with Juicy. Mikey's like, oop.

[A]

I mean, she helped her win RDR lives. She's like, not again. She's like, she's not on my watch.

[B]

She's a house not on my watch. Will you disrespect another woman? Because if you do it to her, you'll do it to me. And you don't have my consent to disrespect me.

[A]

That is a Oprah, Clark.

[B]

That's Ayan Lavenza, not Oprah.

[A]

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

[B]

Do you know,

[A]

you bitch. You think I just discovered the fucking Internet yesterday?

[B]

Well, then why did you say Oprah?

[A]

Because that's her best friend, and you're my best friend. All right.

[B]

That's quite the connection you made there.

[A]

They were best friends.

[B]

I don't think Ayanna and Oprah ever. Oprah's best friend is Gayle and has always been. Ayanna was never Oprah's best friend.

[A]

They were friends. We were best friends.

[B]

I know you're making this up. Oprah's best friend has historically been Gayle for a long time. Ayanla Van Zett was never Oprah's best friend.

[A]

They were good friends. They were good friends.

[B]

You don't even. Ayanla was Oprah's employee. She was her employee. They were never like, we are buddies,

[A]

and you're my employee.

[B]

And you're my employee and I'm yours.

[A]

Correct.

[B]

Why I gotta be a bitch? See, I don't know. Why do you have to be a bitch? The next day they. So they decided to work in pairs. The pairs are Nene Coco and Juicy and then Mikey Meeks and Darlene Mitchell. And off Rip. I already know Darlene and Mikey are going to win Off Rip. This is not a question for me. I've been done. Bin knew the other team was going to go down. This is not. But Mikey and Darlene, like, Mikey was like Darlene. Have you ever hosted anything? But did Mikey forget that Darlene does drag in her bedroom?

[A]

But I mean, she may still have done a little something here and there, you know, you never know.

[B]

She said, I don't leave my bedroom. And maybe she did like TikTok. I have seen people host like TikTok lives and that is actually a talent in and of itself. It really is.

[A]

Yeah, girl. Just hosting to literally no one. That's just hard. Bitch. I'll never forget when the pandemic happened and the drag, the home drag show started, baby. I hated it. Sitting in my little tiny. Remember my little tiny hallway on 144th street and have my little. My little ring light my iPad. It was the most uncomfortable and awkward I've ever felt. I hated the home drag. Close your eyes.

[C]

Exhale.

[A]

Feel your body relax.

[B]

And let go of whatever you're carrying today.

[C]

Well, I'm letting go of the worry that I wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800-contacts. Oh, my gosh, they're so fast.

[B]

And breathe.

[C]

Oh, sorry. I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste.

[A]

Visit 1-800-contacts.com today to save on your first order.

[B]

1-800-contacts. When they start, juicy has this idea to lean into the fact that she doesn't like her. So Juicy and Nene are talking about concepts for their show. And Juicy's like, well, we both don't wear wigs and we both flip. That could be our. I was like, this is. I remember being like, this bitch about to go home. This bitch is about to go home. Your concept is we don't wear wigs and we flip for the morning show. What is going on here? What is happening?

[A]

Bob, when you're brainstorming, there are no bad ideas. You just got. You throw everything out. There may have been some connective tissue that would have blossomed to something else, but you Just got. You got to say the idea to see if there's something there.

[B]

I don't believe there. I don't believe in that. There are no bad ideas. I think there are bad ideas. I think. I do believe it is a safe place to act. Say your ideas out loud. But I do actually believe there are bad ideas. And I'm glad they didn't do that, because that would have been. That would have been a bad idea, which is probably why I didn't make it to the. It got left on the cutting room floor.

[A]

On the cutting room floor. Um, yeah, I. I think that. And even just hearing how. How Mikey and Darlene are brainstorming, they seem to have a little more synergy than Juicy and Nene do. And I do have a little concern for her. Um, do you. Do you know what I noticed? I. I kind of haven't noticed the entire time. Darlene. Darlene does the laughing thing that you hate.

[B]

Darlene. Yeah, I guess she does.

[A]

When she's talking to RuPaul on the zigzag, she's like, yep, yeah, because I was at home. And then. Because it's my favorite thing. That's the laughing thing Bob hates.

[B]

I don't like it. It drives me crazy. I guess the reason why I haven't noticed it on Darlene is because it sounds like she's actually laughing. Like, it actually sounds like she's really laughing and not nervous laughing. You know what I mean? Darlene do be laughing at weird shit. So maybe she actually do think it's funny that she was sitting at home. So they have rebuys.

[A]

Okay, we'll.

[B]

We'll talk about the. The AI drama of it all in our untucked. Because the Internet is up in arms about it. But instead, we're going to focus today on the Tic Tac dinner, which has been revised.

[A]

I love the Tic Tac. I love the TikTok lunches. Dinner. Whatever it is. I love the TikTok of it all.

[B]

I mean, I never had one. I never had a one on one. I mean, I had a one on one with RuPaul, but it was like, literally backstage with no cameras. We all had one with the top four.

[A]

Oh, really?

[B]

I told you this story before. Yeah. When we all got eliminated one by one. RuPaul, would you, like, dance away with RuPaul upstage? And then you'd exit and then all the queens who were not eliminated would go back to the main stage, and then RuPaul would. It was just her sitting backstage with us each of us, one by one.

[A]

And what, what, what did y' all talk about?

[B]

Um, I don't remember. I mean, this was 10 years ago, so I don't fully remember, but I remember, I remember making up a story that RuPaul, I told Kimchi that RuPaul told me that I won.

[A]

I, I, I do remember that. But, you know, whatever you talked about,

[B]

you can't believe me.

[A]

Was, was he giving you, like, life advice, career advice? You don't remember nothing?

[B]

Bitch, I think we were just, like, shooting the shit. Like, it wasn't, we didn't, it wasn't like a, it wasn't one of those 10, $10 million or sit down dinner with Jay Z. It wasn't one of those. She was just like, how's your experience? And like, you know, so you live in New York and stuff like that.

[A]

Yeah, got it, got it.

[B]

Yeah, like that.

[A]

Nene said something that really made no sense to me. She goes, when they're going to have the Tic Tac lunch? She said, this is such a full circle moment to sit here with RuPaul. How are you doing? A sick Tic Tac. How is that a full circle? That's not a full, Full circle means that you like coming back to this thing you've done before. Like, how is that a full circle?

[B]

Maybe it's because she, like, envisioned it for herself. So now she's actually doing it and now she's experiencing what she envisioned. Maybe, I don't know.

[A]

Yeah, that's not what full circle means. Full circle to Nini. That's not what full circle means, babe.

[B]

Just FYI, Nini is a motherfucking engineer, ok? She is working smarter than me working in H vac calculations. I will say it sounded different. She was like, oh, yeah, I do H Vacs. And I was like, I'm not saying you're not an engineer. I'm not saying an engineer, but I feel like, I feel like she scaled it back a little bit.

[A]

Bob, I think you will be surprised at how much engineering it takes to get.

[B]

I can never do it, could never be exactly.

[A]

What the fuck you talking about? She scaled it back?

[B]

I guess in my mind, when I imagine an engineer, I don't, honestly, I don't know what I'm imagining when I think of an engineer. I actually do not know what I'm imagining when I think what an engineer does. I assume I don't know what I am. When I think of an engineer sitting down, doing their job, I actually don't know what I'm Imagining. What are you imagining?

[A]

I think I imagine them engineering things. Like they're engineering.

[B]

I imagine them engineering things.

[A]

No, like literally, like, for example, right. An engineer. God. They will engineer how to make this music stand, work properly. Like how to make all the.

[B]

I guess that's what I imagine too. Like an engineer would be like, we want to put these wheels in this car. And then the engineer would do some math and figure out how to get the wheels on the car.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. So it is, right? It is what you thought.

[B]

I'm thinking about. I don't know why. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Juicy doesn't like so Juicy, like is like going deep into her psyche and realizing that she doesn't talk that much because of her relationship with her father. And she felt like she had to like minimize herself to not seem too gay, I guess. And now that's why she's like always quiet.

[A]

Because the dad was very, very machismo, very masculine. Cuban dad, very bat. Which I guess, yeah, I mean, I guess I mean, I'm talking about my coming out experience. I hid drag for my family for so long and I really regret it. Cause they're bitch. They're more obsessed with drag than me. My dad be sending me pictures of me doing different stuff. He's like, oh, Monet looks beautiful here. I'm like, thank you, dad.

[B]

Okay, I want to read some of these. Simone, please. Said, I definitely imagine her getting on the computers, putting in like computers put. Put Putin. And now I just imagine her with a hard hat and a neon vest. That's what I'm saying too. And then like someone else aether Paradox said, I'm an architect who works with structural and me and mechanical engineers often. Nini sums it up pretty well. Precise, not social and smart. So I think now I'm imagining like a hard. When I hear H. What it is. That's what it is. When I hear H Vac, I think of like the way that what's her name portrayed herself. The girl with all the tattoos, Lucy Laduca. When I hear H Vac, I'm imagining like a loosey Laduca, cut off jeans, hard hat, orange vest type. That's what it is. Thank you for helping me get my thoughts out. Simone, please. That's what I was trying to say.

[A]

Work. Yeah. Did you have the. Did you ever feel like any. Did you ever feel like you had that juicy thing with anyone in your family? Were there any guys in your family that were really masculine?

[B]

No, my father's not super like, I Mean, he's like nine. Feminine at all. But no one in my family is like, there's no macho guys in my family. Uncle. My uncle Steve is gay. My uncle Scotty is like a really nice pastor. But no one's like, yeah, I mean, my uncle Scotty is an Omega. I will say that.

[A]

He's a Q dog.

[B]

He's a Q dog. Branded and everything.

[A]

Branded.

[B]

Yeah. He's brown. I. I'm pretty sure he's branded. I'm not 100 sure. I'm pretty sure he's.

[A]

You have to be. You.

[B]

You.

[A]

You cannot not do it.

[B]

Yeah, but he's not like a. I'm sure he's barked at someone at some point. Also, not Juicy. Straight up being like, I got a big, fat horse dick.

[A]

I was like. I was like, whoa, girl.

[B]

She will take it sexual. She's like. And just. I want everyone to know real quick, I got a big, fat, meaty ass horse dick. That shit is hanging. I was like.

[A]

I was like, now I want to see it.

[B]

I was like, jesus Christ, I want to see it. Rue straight up told Darlene, I did not see you making it this far. And I.

[A]

He's like, none of us did.

[B]

He was like. He straight up was like, yeah, like, literally, we're all gay. I lost a lot of money on. You lost a lot of money on that one, toots.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I would agree. Like, I'm telling y', all, I didn't. I was like, darling is going to be third, fourth out. Max, I am gagged that Darlene is sitting here at the top four. I really am gagged. And she mentioned. She talks about the shoe thing and how it's become her thing. And I'm sitting here, I'm like, I don't. I just don't even recognize the drag race I'm watching now, remember? I'm sorry. I will never. I will never let it go. Remember Dusty and her dots? Dusty wore her dots one episode, and it was curtains. It was like, you fucking dotty ass bitch. Go home. We hate dots, you fucking crusty bitch. Monet X Change. I wore sponges for after being out in the world, being celebrated for my sponges, I wore it for one thing. They were like, why the fuck are you wearing sponges, bitch?

[B]

Well, I guess the Internet done dragged Michelle Visage so, so fiercely. She's like, well, I. Okay, I'll let you do what? Do your own hideous drag. Do whatever you want to do.

[A]

Yeah, it's wild to me. And the thing is. But also, they're just ugly as fucking shoes. I hate these shoes.

[B]

That one.

[A]

I hate these shoes, bitch. You don't like the shoes? I hate those shoes.

[B]

You are the new Michelle Visage. You want to get into the show? Good morning, Bitches with Zayn Phillips.

[A]

Wait, did I already have any notes for anyone else? Uh, okay, yeah, we can get into the thing.

[B]

So we start with Nene and Juicy. And off rip this is first of all, like, they started with some, like, shade about Nene being in the bottom. And then, of course, Juicy was like. And I'm. I'm most likely to bottom. I will say this. I don't think it's that she was making dirty jokes. I think it's that the dirty jokes weren't funny, which is why Ross was cringing. Ross was kind of ODing with the cring.

[A]

Like, ooh, I agree.

[B]

I agree, definitely. He was definitely, you know, like, making it.

[A]

You know what I mean? But, yeah, yeah, I agree. I think that, I think, I think I wrote down. They had a few awkward pauses, but I'm telling y', all, doing a, doing a, doing a co hosting thing with someone is that definitely takes the time to find a rhythm with that, with that partner. So obviously, this is a challenge on Grad. On Drag Races. It's heightened. It's supposed to, it's supposed to be a pressure cooker. But finding synergy with a co host is not the easiest thing to do. So there are a few awkward pauses. Um, but I honestly, overall, I enjoyed it. I, I, I, I wasn't sitting there like, ugh, this is tough to watch. I wasn't wincing like Ross Matthews was,

[B]

But also, no shade. It wasn't live to tape, and I don't know why that kind of irritated me. They said it was gonna be live to tape, but there was obvious cuts, and I was like, what's the point of. I guess what they're saying is you only get one take is what they're saying.

[A]

Yeah, that's what they're trying to say.

[B]

And we'll edit it out what we want.

[A]

Yeah, I also thought that. I thought all the innuendo and the, the dirty jokes were like, Again, they weren't funny. They were fine. But. But the masturbating one felt egregious. I was like, oh, my God.

[B]

It's because they already made the joke. So they already made the joke like, are you a master baker? And then he was like. I would say so. He's like, what about a masturbator? What about taking your hands around your dick? Because I have a big horse dick. What if I took my hands on my big horse fat ding a ling and was stroking it? Are you. Is it. Is it similar to that?

[A]

Yeah, that's how I felt. That's how I felt. It felt very, very. It got. It got awkward with that.

[B]

I mean, like also them trying to throw the girls. The alliteration was so shady. That was so Tyrone.

[A]

I missed that.

[B]

Like the seashells and then the Billy the alliteration bit. It is very Top Model coded.

[A]

Yeah. Simone. Police said Ross was truly acting like he was going to be judged in the acting challenge himself.

[B]

I mean, it was a lot. When they got on the ground, like, there was a moment where I was like, Juicy. Like, I just wrote down Juicy was so horny. Like, I know.

[A]

Putting her head behind it between that man legs. I mean, I would do it too, but goddamn.

[B]

I mean, Ross seemed uncomfortable. I will say in their defense, it genuinely looked like Zayn was having a lot of fun.

[A]

I agree. I agree.

[B]

It looked like he was having a blast. The skittish.

[A]

She would have had her head facing his crotch. But the whole skit is. The whole skit is sexual.

[B]

They had the camera angle, legs, open legs. They were ODing. In my opinion. Ross was ODing a little bit, but the issue was that she wasn't funny. Like, she wasn't funny, which is what made it uncomfortable.

[A]

If I was juicy, I would have put my head facing the other way. I was like, you know what? We gonna lose. I might as well try to get. Get a little bit of his dick in my mouth anyway.

[B]

Jesus Christ. Let's move on to Darlene and Mikey off rip. They're great. Like, their banter is better. I love when Mikey just has some really great one liners. When she said, motherfucker, I'm sorry, can I say mother? On television, that was.

[A]

I laughed. I lol at that.

[B]

And she knows when to break the scene. Like when Darlene was saying something in her face and she goes, spit on me one more time.

[A]

Darlene, that was so good, Dar.

[B]

I'm telling y', all, I've been. I've been rooting for Mikey for a hot minute. Y' all didn't want to listen, but Mikey eats. She. I'm going to go ahead and say it. Mikey is the funniest person this season, easily. No one's Jane. Jane has some funny moments too, but I don't think Mikey's ever flopped in a comedy challenge ever.

[A]

Neither did Jane.

[B]

Jane went home for flopping on a comedy challenge, but it wasn't. Do you watch the show, Tamar?

[A]

Anyway, I think that Mikey was such a natural at this fucking challenge. Mikey was so effortless. It was just. It was hilarious. And again, all of her little breaks, all of her. I wrote down Mikey's DTCs, directing hammers and jokes felt very natural. And some of it was probably off the cuff, honestly, and some of it probably wasn't even planned. She just did it in the moment. So it just felt. I felt comfortable watching Mikey. Like I would watch Mikey do a morning show. Mikey fucking killed it.

[B]

I will say Darlene ate with the backyard barbecue walk. Darlene ate. That was genuinely funny. I don't know if she came with that on the moment, but I thought it was funny. It kept getting funnier. It never, like, kind of got to the point where I was like, ew. What? Like the wrap it up. It was a pretty long bit, but it ended up being quite funny. And again, Zayn Phillips seemed to be just having a really good time and

[A]

then not him dropping the bomb that the guy that he did a challenge with is his real boyfriend. I said, oh, my God, the lies. The lies.

[B]

They do be lying. They do be lying. So on the last. In the workroom, I didn't really write much. They were just kind of all giving their first impressions of each other. I mean, I would say. And I'm gonna go ahead and say, y', all untucked. The last episode of Untucked is never. It's just a boo. It's just. It's just a I love you fest. It's always just a big I love you fest. So we're gonna talk about other stuff. And I feel the same way about the. The. The. The. The makeup moment, because they're just, like, going, it's pretty repetitive what they do on drag, which. Which, by the way, I actually genuinely enjoy it. I just don't know how much there is to review. They were just going on about their first impressions, and they seemed pretty spot on. People thought Darlene was a little kooky. People thought Nene was a little standoffish because she was focused on the game. People respected Mikey, thought she looked sickening, and people thought Juicy was going to be the lip sync assassin. And all that ended up being true.

[A]

And I also think, too, I'm like, this thing where people are like, nene, we want to feel your heart. And I'm like, some of my favorite drag queens. I don't know. I don't know. I don't Care about their heart. I care about their talent. So I'm like, what, honey?

[B]

You don't give a fuck about yalls hearts.

[A]

Yeah, Me. I'm like, this thing of like, nene. We just need to see more.

[B]

Say that, Monae. Say that, honey. Say that.

[A]

We need to see more of your heart and who you are. And I'm like, why? Why?

[B]

Well, I think because this is a competition, and because it is a competition, like a reality TV show. Like, I don't care if I'm watching America's got talent or American idol and I don't see your heart. But if I'm watching the top model, it does matter because we're seeing more views. Cause on top. Because on talent and idol, what's happening is we're only seeing them on stage and in little vignettes leading up to it, but in this, we're actually watching them interact with people. We don't watch the American idols interact with each other. We don't watch the American got talent people interact with each other. But since we're watching you interact, I want to see how you socialize, you know, I guess.

[A]

I mean, I said, you know. You know. You know, when we did season 10, I. I just. I just. I was. I felt like. I knew. I was like, oh, they're gonna put us in a house 24 hours for season 10. I was like, it's a decade of drag. They're gonna put us in a house for season 10. And I was so mad when we were not in a house. I want us to be in a house so bad.

[B]

You're in a house right now. All your dreams came true. The New York apartment kid wants to finally live in a house. And look at you. You made it big time.

[A]

You know what I mean? Anyway, Kira gets his run with looks.

[B]

Let's go to the lyrics. Everyone looks great. I love Ross's pants. Is Ross selling his pants, you're saying?

[A]

Yes, Jacob. Ross. Ross. I've worn them. Jacob, can you pull it up or. Yeah, yeah. This is by. This is by Ross's brand, Meijer, I think. No, I forget the name of it. Meijer is a parent company. But I have these pants.

[B]

Can you buy me some for my birthday?

[A]

I'll buy you some for your birthday. What color you want?

[B]

Black.

[A]

Black. Okay.

[B]

Yeah, black pants.

[A]

And I have this same blouse.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

I have this blouse. Ross sent me this outfit just with the black pants. And yeah, they're a great brand. Michelle is great. I love Teyana Taylor.

[B]

She's Michelle wearing a Full on wig. This has to be a wig.

[A]

Probably. I would imagine.

[B]

It looks, she looks amazing. This is, this is she. Michelle. This is the best. She looked all season. She was looking good the whole time. But she looks so good there.

[A]

I didn't like that waistband. Rouge dress. I'm like, it should have just been. I mean, obviously it'd be harder to make, but the waistband took me out.

[B]

I have that same shoe. I sure do. No, you have the same. Let's move on to our first queen, who is Juicy Love. Dion. Am I on Lonely Island? This. I don't like this dress.

[A]

Oh, my God. I agree. It just was a, it's too much. She has no waist. It just looks like it's just a whole bunch of gold materials just put together in a hodgepodge kind of way. Like this looks like when you finish making something for arts and crafts and it's all the, when all the, all the glue and the gold glitter get jumbled together, you just roll in your fingers and you chuck it away. This is a mess.

[B]

Yeah. I'm not into this garment, but they seem to be into it.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

It's just not, it's not. I don't like it. I don't like it. Let's go on to Nene Cuthbert.

[A]

I do not like this outfit at all.

[B]

This looks amazing.

[A]

This is really cool.

[B]

This is so beautiful. This is so well done. I would wear this. I want this. Maybe I wouldn't do the spiked shoulder. Um, but that's her signature thing. But this look is so fun. She said that.

[A]

Did she wear a lot of pointy shoulders? Did I miss that?

[B]

When I thought back, I saw, when I thought back about it, I felt like she did.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

Yeah. I, I, I really like this look. This is so well done. This is very. She, you know, something about her is she seems like a graphic designer.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, there are certain queens who've been on Drag Race and you can kind of tell that they were graphic designers. Like, like Manila Luzon. If you look back at Manila, Luzon, you can tell. Kim Chi, you can tell that they were graphic designers by how they do their drag. Sasha Velour, you can tell she's a graphic designer based on how she does her drag.

[A]

You know what I mean? Monet X Change. You can tell she's a graphic designer.

[B]

You can tell. Cray Dawson. I like this. I mean, hand painted and stoned. Yes, honey. She. I love a hand painted dress. They don't hold up very well. They be stiff as hell. But I love one.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, this looks similar to my. Literally the pattern I'm doing for my tour right now.

[B]

Did you steal it from you or did you steal it from her?

[A]

I think she stole it from me. I think the hair is cool. I would not have put the. I don't know if I would have put the stones and the pattern in the hair. I think the hair just being black, I would have liked more. But I still think this is. She looks absolutely stunning. This is a great look.

[B]

Let's go into Mikey Meeks. I did not like this shoulder thing. And the judges seem to be also in alignment that the stars around her shoulder was kind of weird. Other than that, it's a nice dress. It's not my favorite look of the night and it's not even my favorite look from Mikey, but I always think Mikey looks really stunning. Um, but I, I just didn't like the wire stars around her head.

[A]

Yeah, that thing looks so damn bald headed and cheap. That damn wire thing looks so it. It cheap. If she did not have that, this would look like a beautifully elevated look. But that little chicken wire looks so scraggly. It looks so bald headed. I think the wig looks nice. I actually, I do like this dress. I think having the one glove with the little sash thing, I think that looks beautiful. I think her proportions look very lovely. I like how it's this peplum situation with the long skirt at the bottom. I love this. Except for that fucking ball headed little piece of chicken wire.

[B]

You know what I realized about Mikey? I think the reason why I like Mikey's drag so much is first of all, Mikey wears her hair the way I do a lot, this up into a bun, which I always love that style. And she does the big wing eye, which I also do. And I like. Maybe I'm just. Also, all the girls do the winged eye. No. Nene Coco does a pretty sharp wing, but Darlene obviously does not do a sharp wing. She does more of a rounded, smoky kind of moment. But I love that Mikey always does that long or often does that long. I love a big, long wing.

[A]

Yeah, that's cute. Let's go next up to Darlene Mitchell. This hair needs to go in a fucking fire and set on fire with kerosene and ethanol and burn it to hell.

[B]

Monet.

[A]

Geez, I hate this wig. Why would she wear this hair?

[B]

I don't. I didn't love the wig. I don't hate it as much as you hated it. I think the issue with the wig is that it's just a big round thing. If it had, like, a little part in the side, it could actually be a little bit more flattering. Um, but I actually do like this dress on her. I think she looks really good. Um, but the hair.

[A]

At the hair, she needs to have titties in. Like, why are you just flat chested, boy? On this Runway?

[B]

A lot of girls be doing no titties these days. I've kind of gotten accustomed to no titties. Like, there was a period of time I was like, these bitches need titties. But now I've kind of gotten to the farm. It's kind of like, I guess the girls don't wear titties no more. It's kind of like when you look. When you look at Bianca Del Rio or Trixie Mattel's makeup, when you look at it for a really long time, it actually starts to become kind of pretty. Like, you're. At first time you see Trixie, it literally looks like. Like her face doesn't make sense. Is kind of clownish, especially how she used to do. But after a while, I'm like, it kind of started making sense to me.

[A]

Yeah, maybe. Well, this does not make sense to me. I hate that she doesn't have titties on. I think the dress is pretty, but have it had the titties in it, I think it would have been look, like, very stunning. I love this. This red duster. The red and gold is beautiful, but the hair and the no titties. Take me out. And this is a boot for me.

[B]

Johnny Tsunami420 said I'm on Nation, but how's she gonna say that while wearing Utica squirrel wig? Let's go into the judging. So no. What? It goes right to the judging. Yeah.

[A]

I thought there was one more person.

[B]

Let's go into the judging. So let me tell right now, baby, if you want to. If you want RuPaul to like you, you'll love her. Tell her you're sober, baby. Nothing tugs on RuPaul's heartstrings more than someone kicking the habit.

[A]

Selena City would like to have a word with you.

[B]

Did she talk to RuPaul about it?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

On the show?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

I just remember when Katya and Miss Fame did it. That guy RuPaul, baby. When Jujubee.

[A]

I don't remember RuPaul cry.

[B]

When Jujubee mentioned that she was sober, RuPaul was like, it's because of those rubes in those rooms. Maybe I should tell RuPaul I'm sober. You think she'll, like, come hang out with me maybe. Well, RuPaul, I'm sober. It's been almost 18 years. Darlene only did it for 10. She gets all your fucking love. This is crazy.

[A]

Yeah. RuPaul is having a really emotional moment. Should I say RuPaul, I'm Clover?

[B]

Sobriety can be very life changing. I mean, obviously, I get it.

[A]

Should I tell him I'm sober?

[B]

Well, I don't think that juxtaposed all the clips of you talking about your wacky drug use might not scan whatever,

[A]

you know, Selena street sign, dress, cancel out any positive feelings Ru had about her sobriety.

[B]

That was from Ashana888. Would you say888? We say888. What would you have said? Ashana888.

[A]

I was at888.

[B]

8, 8, 8. Cause Ashana, 8, 8, 8. So I mean, there's pretty much. I feel. I feel like the judges actually echoed a lot of our sentiment. They didn't like the woman they called the ball head chicken wire. They. Except they. Except they love Juicy's look, which I. Which I did not understand.

[A]

Not for me, but it's a no for me, darling. I'm sorry.

[B]

But they. But they agreed that Juice, that Juicy was a little too sexual during the. During the thing. They really love Darlene and Mikey's show. And RuPaul said that she would watch Mikey do a show every morning. She would watch the show on repeat all the time. And Darlene and Mikey win. And honestly, I agree. But if it had to go to one, who would you pick, though?

[A]

I would go to Mikey. For sure.

[B]

Yeah, for sure. So Mikey now has four wins. Darlene has two. Nene has two.

[A]

Nene has. Wait, Nene? Nene. Nene has two.

[B]

Is Dar. So Darlene was only one of the top four who has never been bottom two, right?

[A]

Mikey.

[B]

No, Mikey had the lipstick in the bottom.

[A]

Mikey lip sync in the bottom.

[B]

Talent show.

[A]

No, he was not in the bottom, though. He didn't have to lip sync.

[B]

No, Mikey never lip sync. Are you sure?

[A]

I'm pretty sure.

[B]

Chat. Chat. I can't remember, to be honest.

[A]

He has a bottom placement.

[B]

Mikey had a bottom bush. But she wasn't there. Was home. Sierra missed. She said home. Sierra miss. Yeah, I was out there. Mikey. Mikey was. Mikey did lip sync.

[C]

Who?

[B]

Toxic by Britney Spears. She was dressed like the bride of Frankenstein. That's right. Yeah. I was remembering. It was during the talent show, like I said.

[A]

Oh, right, right, right, right, right.

[B]

And then we found out that Nene Coco and Juicy Love Dion are in the bottom two, and they are lip syncing. And I mean, first of all, the moment I see Nene Coco in this dress, I'm like, this is. This was for an engineer. You didn't think this through.

[A]

I mean, girl, what draggers loves when they do these challenge. The. The. The final. They should give the girls a chance to change because. Hello. Come on now.

[B]

Why? They should have done a ballad for this one. Like, the girls are gonna be in these dresses. Why? Why is it, like, wear your best, most expensive drag that you definitely spent way too much money on coming here. And now we're gonna have your lipstick get on up, make me scream. I mean, I do think that. I do think that Juicy actually won that lip sync. Um, but. Cause what could Nene have done? She. She broke her. Her. Her 3D printed titty bib for no reason.

[A]

I know, but I mean, she can fix it. She can engineer a new one. Girl.

[B]

But I mean, she broke it for no reason. It didn't even save her. I mean, it did save her, but I don't think it's. Cause she broke the thing. I think the judges were actually just considering. I do. I do genuinely think that Nene has more to offer the competition right now than Juicy does.

[A]

I would say so. Like, I. No, shade. I would be excited to see what Nene would bring to a finale. I can't say I would be excited to see what Juicy would bring to a finale.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But then, inversely, why was it different

[B]

for Jane Doe yesterday, last episode? I think it was probably different because. And I'm just guessing here, I think it was probably different because we're so close to the finale now. We're, like, knocking on the door of the finale as opposed to being a few episodes away. Um, so, like, I do believe that sometimes you could just. If they would've sent any home, I would've been like, yeah, that makes sense. She lost the lip sync. I would've been like, she did lose. And. But she also wasn't. But also, she wasn't the worst in the challenge. Jane was the worst in the challenge, and she lost the lip sync. Whereas I think that what Nene did was she was. She lost the lip sync. But she wasn't the worst in the challenge. Juicy was the worst. Next episode is Lollaparuza. So now they got the lip sync. Lalla. But I. I don't know. I think that if. If. If Nene would have gotten eliminated, I'd have been like, yeah, it's fair. She lost the lip sync. Cause it is. RuPaul said it is your last time to impress me.

[A]

Impress me.

[B]

Save yourself from elimination. That's what she says.

[A]

Yeah, you know, fair.

[B]

How do you feel about the lip sync?

[A]

I thought it was fine. Overall, I think that. I think that Nene Juicy revealing and having her out her backup outfit under her thing obviously, like, but Nini just could not do that. Like, it just is what it is. And again, like I said, I think it was mid. It was fine. But I'm excited to see what Ninu brings to a finale. Not necessarily Juicy.

[B]

Damian Joseph said. I also think the how many times have you lip synced for your life? Part of the track record seems to count against you more than how many times have you won. So maybe that's part of why Juicy has lip synced for her life more times than anyone in the competition. And because she's been in the bottom so many times, maybe that's a part of what it is. It does seem to have a bit more bearing in the final main stage than it does when you're not at the final main stage thing.

[A]

We need to rewind to the first episode. I literally said Juicy's gonna sing at least. She's gonna lip sync for her life four times this season. I literally said that.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, look at her. They'd be crazy not to put in there then also, she didn't do very well, so it was easy to put her down there because she didn't do very well in a lot of the challenges.

[A]

You know, Bob, someone said Joey Stone said all white final three, but Bob will love that.

[B]

That's not what Joey Stone said. That's what you just said. You added that part in there, which is crazy. Has there been an all. Why? Why would you add that part in like, the last Paul White top three was season seven. She's in seven.

[A]

No, no. Ginger Minj is not white. She's Puerto Rican.

[B]

Puerto Rican's not a race.

[A]

But she's not a white Puerto Rican. She's a Taino Puerto Rican.

[B]

I did not mean to erase Ginger Minj. That part you just made up. Ginger Minj has said she's white several times. You're making up things about Ginger Minj just like your white. Our white Puerto Rican friend Alfredo. He is white. He is Puerto Rican. I don't know why it doesn't so crazy when people say Puerto Ricans their race. Puerto Rican is not race. Woo. It drives me crazy. I don't know why that drives me so crazy.

[A]

Call the therapist.

[B]

Mumble more comments one day. Mumble some more, please. Mumble three more for me, please. Anyway, Violet's Ecuadorian. Ecuadorian is not a race. If you ask Violet her race, she will say, I am white. Violet will say, I am a white person. Text ask her. Have y' all ever heard Violet say she's not white?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

No, you've not. You're making things up. You're in your makeup stuff era.

[A]

Jay didn't want to be in this mess, so he left.

[B]

So. Okay, go ahead.

[A]

No, I was going to say, let's hop on over to Untucked to talk about the.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no. We need to talk about a few things. First of all, we have a top three. Our top three are Nene Koko, uh, Mikey Meeks, who I was convinced wasn't white until about a month ago, and Darlene Mitchell. And Darlene Mitchell. Who do you think is going to win?

[A]

I think Mikey Meeks is winning Drag Race, but Sasha Velour's Shea Coulee situation could happen. I don't know.

[B]

I think Mikey Meeks deserves to win it the most. I thought Mikey Meeks should win for a long time. Mikey Meeks is, to me, the funniest girl in the channel. In the competition. I think her looks are pretty good. I think she's, like, second best, third best with style now that a lot of the other girls are gone. I do think probably the best with style was probably Vita Von Teese star. But Vita also had a couple that was a little too, like, a little too old school for me.

[A]

But we think Vita had the best style this season. Are you fucking drunk, bitch?

[B]

Who would you say it was?

[A]

Jane Don't. Jane Don't's runways were absolutely stunning the majority of the season. That a joke?

[B]

She had a couple that was kind of like, I don't know, like hers. You know what it is? Jane's is so referential. Aretay this, are tay that. Whereas I feel like Vita was like, this is just Vita doing her thing, except when she was, like, making full recreations of celebrity costumes. But she didn't do that on the show, though. I feel like Vita had more of a unique perspective, whereas Jane was like, how can I get something made that looks like something that someone else has or is inspired by?

[A]

But it was not. No, I think she was using them as style references, but, like, her airtight gown didn't look like an airtight thing. It was taking the classic silhouettes and materials of Airtight to give it that thing, which was. She wasn't like, like juicy. Recreating a Schiaparelli look.

[B]

Well, we all know Mia Starr had the best look of the season. Um, let's go ahead and hop over to our.

[A]

Oh, sorry, there's one.

[B]

There's one more thing. I'm going to pull it up right now. Here we go.

[A]

Oh, the likes.

[B]

We got to talk about the likes, honey, because they're also. Oh, I checked, I checked. Well, I checked the. The. The Twitter today. So Nini Coco's dead last with less than a third. Almost, not quite, but like, less than half.

[A]

A little more than the.

[B]

Like, less than half the likes of Mikey Meeks. And then Darlene Mitchell on Instagram. It's on Instagram is about a thousand likes above Mikey Meeks, but on Twitter is a very different story. So on Instagram, Nene Coco has 38.6 likes. Mikey Meeks has 97.2 likes. And Darling Mitchell has 98.2 likes. Just 1,000 more. And I checked the Twitter today, and on Twitter, it's giving. Give me one second.

[A]

And RuPaul is a millennial, so he's going to check Instagram, not Twitter.

[B]

So on Twitter right now, Team Nini Coco has 4.2 thousand likes. Mikey Meeks has 12.3 thousand. Literally more than double.

[A]

It's true.

[B]

And Darlene Mitchell has 20.1 thousand.

[A]

People want Darlene to win. Drag Race, people.

[B]

She has almost 8,000 more likes than Mikey Meeks right behind her.

[A]

I am gagged at that. Darlene is the favorite to win.

[B]

I honestly think people like to root for an underdog. I'm not being funny. They love. People love. Even if they don't believe that person will win, they genuinely just love rooting for. I was watching this video today. I watched this, like, fitness influencer. He had this video. It was like dad strength versus teen bodybuilders. And it was all these, like, teenagers versus these, like 50, 40, 50 year old men. And I really wanted the dads to win. I really wanted the dads to win. I knew they weren't gonna win. They did not win, but I wanted them to win so badly.

[A]

Interesting.

[B]

You know, people love an underdog.

[A]

Well, let's see that finale. She better lean on her fashion design degree and come up with some fierce shit at this finale.

[B]

I will say, I do think Darlene is the most creative of those three. Well, let me, let me, let me. I'm gonna roll it back. She's the most out of the box. I think she would end up giving a. A finale performance that's along the lines of crystal method, maybe.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

A little crystal methody. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Which I would be pretty excited to see. But I. I think Mikey's going to eat them up. Mikey has the looks, Mikey has the personality. Mikey's going to be funny. Mikey's gonna. I think Mikey's gonna eat them up. I really do.

[A]

We bout to see girl in what, two weeks? Question. The talent show.

[B]

Darlene had the Power Tool song that

[A]

you guys hated, and then Nini Coco had, like, the praying mantis, you know, mating.

[B]

Rip the head off, which to me is more out of the box than

[A]

Darlene doing power tools.

[B]

It's like, is Darlene. Is her kookiness making it seem like she's out of the box?

[A]

Like, what about Darlene is.

[B]

I feel like I'm missing it. I think she's charming and funny, but I don't know. I don't see the unique thing in Darlene and Darlene. Darlene feels very cookie cutter to me. I think what's unique in her perspective is the way that she approaches RuPaul's Drag Race. I don't think necessarily in her talent show, but the way that Darlene approaches RuPaul's Drag Race, I do think is quite unique, and I genuinely enjoy it. I didn't. I do not want Darlene to win.

[A]

You mean, like, go ahead. Sorry. I mean, to cut you off. Sorry.

[B]

I do think that Nene should win over her, but if Darlene made it to the top two with Mikey, I wouldn't be, like, blown away, but I think the top two would be Mikey. Plus, it's not going to be anyone else. Plus, it's going to be Mikey plus someone else, and I think Mikey's going to win. What are you about to say, Monet?

[A]

I'm going to say. So you think that how she approaches RuPaul Drag Race, as in wearing the ugly shoes even though she was told they were ugly, you think that's fierce?

[B]

No, it's marching to the beat of her own drum. It is.

[A]

What is that?

[B]

It is. It's not just that. It's also the way that she frames humor, the way that she approached the comedy challenges. I think that she just is more unique, in my opinion, than the other girls in this shit. By the way, unique is not a very good thing. It's just a. It's like when someone says, you're tall. That's not a compliment. It's an observation.

[A]

You know what I Mean, Yeah, I guess. I guess I just don't see this world where Darling is more unique than Nini Coco or, like, Mikey Meeks. I just don't see that. I think she's quirky, but I don't think. I guess I don't say just because you're quirkier that you're unique. Like, okay, bitch, is it.

[B]

Well, then what is Corky? If Corky's not unique, what is it?

[A]

Corky's strange. Corky is.

[B]

And strange means what? But in a drag, normal, like, different than the norm?

[A]

No, but I'm. Okay, but in a drag composition. Right. I think that just the things that.

[B]

How.

[A]

What's her name, Nina Koch, has gone about her design for her thing, the praying mantis thing, how she has conceptualized her things. I think she's unique. She's offering a unique perspective on how she is characterized by a peculiar or unexpected trait. Yeah. So I think Nene Koko is someone that is. She's offering a unique, fresh perspective on drag, whereas Darlene is like the kooky girl at the club that a lot of us know. Darlene is. Darlene is fucking Dusty Ray Bottoms. Darlene is like. She's just a quirky queen.

[B]

Last question I ask before we go around talking. What is so unique about Nini Coco?

[A]

Her perspective on drag, like how, like, the things that she's made, like these looks like having this 3D printed thing and having.

[B]

We've never seen anyone do this kind of. Yes, we have. We never knew anyone.

[C]

Luz.

[B]

Donna did a lot of this stuff.

[A]

Did the same pattern on her dress, into her hair. That's something we've never seen on Drag Race. That's it.

[B]

Gottmik did it. Gottmik had the polka dots that went right into her hair of her makeup, her hair, her dress. We've seen that.

[A]

And what Gottmik look.

[B]

Gottmik did this big dot look for the finale of. For her final look on All Stars, where she was covered in these big dots that went from her dress to her face to her hair. So we have seen it.

[A]

I don't remember that.

[B]

Well, just because I don't remember doesn't mean it didn't happen.

[A]

Um, so that's one thing, I think, that makes Nene Kolka unique. I think that just her previous this

[B]

season didn't Vita have the zebra stripe in her hair this year, did she? Mm, yeah. So she had a zebra on her dress, and then it went to her hair. We've seen it on the same season.

[A]

I don't Remember this?

[B]

You don't remember anything that goes against your point.

[A]

I know. I'm dead ass girl. I don't remember what they fucking wore last week.

[B]

All I'm saying is it has happened. You're saying it never happened. It has happened and only now it happened in this same season that we're in right now.

[A]

Where is the ocular proof? I'm not going to believe what you and Jacob say. Jessica.

[B]

Jessica.

[A]

Jacob asked about something.

[B]

Mm. OK's gonna bring it up. Jacob bring up guys in her polka dot jack.

[A]

And if it up, I'll be like, okay, work. But I'm not gonna accept Jacob's. Mm. You remember mixed black and white wig. Everyone was kind of going crazy for it.

[B]

Yeah. Everyone went. Monet doesn't remember anything. Even if everyone in the chat says, even if Gottmik brought the dress up right now, Monet would say it never happened.

[A]

Just bring it up.

[B]

We don't have to bring it up. It happened. We don't have to prove shit to you. There it is. There's the whole thing. This is.

[A]

That girl did not wear that this season.

[B]

That's not the polka dot when jk Exactly. No, it's not her.

[A]

Vita Summer, y' all said Vita Summers wore a zebra thing with her hair

[B]

with the things in it.

[A]

That was Gottmik. That was not Vita Summers.

[B]

Monet. It happened. Vita Von Teese.

[A]

Star. Sorry. Vita Von Teese. No, because y' all saw us.

[B]

Uh huh.

[A]

Jacob pulling up the wrong. The wrong evidence.

[B]

Monat. We're not arguing with you. It fucking happened. The chat can tell you what happened. It fucking happened.

[A]

No, but I'm just saying don't uh huh me and then pull up the wrong evidence.

[B]

Kratos. Okay, here's a look. So now once this looks up. Are you going to shut the fuck up? So here's here.

[A]

That's not her hair. That is a headpiece. That's not her hair.

[B]

Her hair is a black wig. No,

[A]

she's wearing a zebra cap on her head. She's not wearing a zebra wig. That is different. This is terrible. That is a prop. She is. Bitch, she is in the fucking Lion King.

[B]

A hat's not a prop.

[A]

Thank you. So do you want to apologize to me now or later?

[B]

And when you see the guy, Mick, what are you going to say then?

[A]

No, that's what we talk about.

[B]

We talked about the first thing we talked about. Bitch. You need to apologize about this.

[A]

I do want to apologize about this.

[B]

I have to apologize to your raggedy stank big Foot slew, foot ass, big exploding ass shoes. Walking sideways, raggedy hoe. Ever.

[A]

Yeah, because you know what? As you learn from therapy, it's impossible for bitches like you to apologize. That's who you are.

[B]

Big slew fat.

[A]

You are. That's who you are.

[B]

Take. Take your hat off.

[A]

You balding? You still balding?

[B]

So what do you have to say about this guy? Make a look with the. With the hair thing.

[A]

Okay, that's fair. That's not what we're talking about.

[B]

We're talking about what are you going to apologize?

[A]

After you.

[B]

Oh, the answer is no. And on that note, you won't do it.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

On that note, we'll go over to Untucked.

[A]

Thank you for coming to my show. Now we're going to go to my Untucked.

[B]

And now we'll go over to Untucked. Because I knew you'd never apologize. You big no remembering doing weed. Got your brain all foggy and shit?

[A]

This wig is fucking your brain up and sickening, honey. And gorgeous bitches like you could never.
