Bob the Drag Queen
Hello, everyone. Welcome back to sibling wotery. My name is Bob the Drag Queen.
Acid Betty
And my name is Naomi Smalls.
Bob the Drag Queen
And this is Sylvie wuacheri. We're reviewing RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 Episode 7 Wicked Good. This is the Wicked for Good inspired Runway moment. Have you seen Wicked?
Acid Betty
Yes. Gun in my head.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did you remember or did you not like it? Which one is it?
Acid Betty
No, I. I think I went into it not wanting to see it, but then when I was there, I was so happy I saw it. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never heard anyone be, like, be, you know, kind of like on the fence about wicked. People are either like, I love it or I hate it.
Acid Betty
You're like, yeah, No, I was. I was pleasantly surprised. I think the whole. I think I was just having a Busy day that day. And it was like far away that I was trying to go to. And then I heard it was 2 hours and 45 minutes. And I was like, you're kidding me. But I was pleasantly surprised.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't fall D.C. with friends.
Acid Betty
Yeah, I saw with Michael. Sadie.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, nice. I was supposed to go see the play with Kim, but then the fires happened. Ballet fires. But also a lot of people be like, I can't wait to see what happens in part two. Guys, if you go see the play, it's literally part two is just act two. Like, you could find out what happens in part two. You don't have to wait.
Acid Betty
I feel like they're gonna remix based on everyone's opinions of part two. I don't know what part two is, but like, I feel like they're gonna remix it because like, everyone says that it's like, boo, part two.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, they're gonna have to do something because it's only an hour long. It's like an hour long and they're going to do an epic five hour journey through all this stuff. I like part two. Part one is the most epic part. Like it could. They kind of ate by ending at part one. Anyway, that's not where to talk about RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 episode seven so we're in. We are officially in the orange. No, they're orange. Are they? They're blue. They're blue. The blue bracket, I think.
Acid Betty
I think it's purple. Purple.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow. Don't be ableist. I am colorblind.
Acid Betty
It's crazy how it always comes up somehow, some way.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just think it's a funny joke to call that ables because it's such a ridiculous thing. So quick question because me and Monet went over the looks. Are there any looks that stood out that you wanted to mention from their interest looks or anything?
Acid Betty
I do have questions about Cynthia's.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not too much. That's our sister. Not too much.
Acid Betty
That is our sister. I'm just. I'm so curious about the hair. I just want to know more about the hair.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have questions about the whole thing. Cynthia has always had some questionable looks.
Acid Betty
And they're always red.
Bob the Drag Queen
A lot of red. She really loves red. She really loves. Which is crazy because I'm always. I would like somehow no shade to Cynthia Lee Fontaine. I love Cynthia Fontaine. But like, I got labeled as the queen with no fashion from our season. Me. On a season with. On a season with Derek, on a season with Cynthia, on a season with Dax. On a Season with, like, me.
Acid Betty
Oh, ok. We just saw you as, you know, one of the ones who was actually going to be there long enough to have. Hold a reputation.
Bob the Drag Queen
Derek was there almost the whole show.
Acid Betty
Okay, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Bob the Drag Queen
And also bad makeup with Derek's eyebrows. Okay, you know what?
Acid Betty
You are clearly still going through things about season eight, and I'm here to help you through this bracket of all stars.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I'm glad you've healed from your season eight trauma, but, yeah, Cynthia has. Cynthia's look is wild. It is wild. It is it. But Cynthia is always. Not always. Every once in a while, Cynthia will do a banger like with her. Her reunion look for season eight. That. That's, like stoned gown she wore. I thought it was actually quite. Quite stunning.
Acid Betty
Yeah. I'm trying to remember it.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's wearing a stone gown and that. And that Killian hair.
Acid Betty
Oh, yes. Oh, my gosh. She's like, actually one of the first Killian girls.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, for sure. For sure. I am so excited to have Acid Betty back on my screen.
Acid Betty
Absolutely. It actually makes me feel, like, nostalgic and happy, like warm inside seeing her on television.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I actually feel like they're trying to. I feel like they're. I feel like they're trying to get something out of Betty and we're going to talk about it when we get to judging, but it feels like they're trying to get something out of Betty by giving her a certain treatment. But I don't want to get it. I don't want to put the horse before the wagon. No, I don't put the wagon before the horse. The horse does go before the wagon. Did you. Did you watch Traitors, My season of traitors.
Acid Betty
Oh, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Does Cynthia remind you of Ian?
Acid Betty
Ooh, I don't know. I feel like Cynthia is like. Like she's like a more wild card.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but Ian was pretty much a wild card. Like, she was like always saying wacky stuff, but Ian said some silly stuff. Cynthia says something like, what is happening?
Acid Betty
See, I feel like Carolyn would be more Cynthia coded, not obviously saying the exact same things, but being just be like, girl, what are you even talking about?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, they. Well, that's true. That's true. I completely forgot that diabetes was eliminated first. That completely escaped my mind.
Acid Betty
I didn't.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was the first girl out, bought back and made it to the finale. Has anyone else ever done that? Because I feel like the. The drag with curses. If you. If you get brought back, you get sent home. Within two episodes. Carmen Carrera, Naysha Lopez. I can't think of any other girls who let came back their. Their season besides Diet Betty. Who?
Acid Betty
Trixie.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah. Trixie, like, came back home, right? Yeah, because she got. Because she got brought back when she did that number with Ginger. When they did the. But as you guys had within two episodes, Right.
Ginger Minj
I. I forget if this one. This girl was officially eliminated, but they kind of did that thing with the brackets where they eliminated Elliot with two T's and then sent her to the other bracket. So I feel like all the girls and Elliot thought she was being eliminated, but she wasn't quite eliminated. And maybe it was a different thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, Elliot lasted a few episodes for sure.
Ginger Minj
I don't know. They did the lip syncs, and then they got all the girls who lost their lip sync.
Bob the Drag Queen
The first job, Doc. Yeah.
Ginger Minj
To vote one girl to leave the show. So they thought they were eliminating Elliot. Elliot thought she was getting eliminated, but they just sent her to the next bracket.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't. I don't even. I don't even remember well enough, to be honest. Um, I just don't remember that well. But, I mean, I kind of remember, but it was like that was. It was. It was convoluted. Um, Ginger Minj is giving herself the I'm too polished storyline. Ginger Man's giving herself the. Like, show more vulnerability. You're too rehearsed. So it. It sounds like she's like, I'm gonna. Something about something makes me cringe when the girl's like, so I'm just gonna finally let my hair down and give them what they want.
Acid Betty
It makes me cringe when the girls are like, everything you thought went originally happened on my season where someone else won wasn't supposed to go down. I deserved it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, that's literally Mistress's entire storyline.
Acid Betty
But I think Mistress is, like, giving into, like, with conviction of like, there's a laugh humor there.
Bob the Drag Queen
Little wink and nod. Yeah.
Acid Betty
Ginger's like, they had the check ready for me and some. Something went down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, are you gonna tell. Are we telling that story? Is that. Is that. Is that untucked? Exclusive? We'll tell that story exclusive.
Acid Betty
Yes, let's do that. See, we always find little nuggets.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob, make sure you write that down so you don't forget to tell it. But, yeah, she's giving the whole, like, because they had the thing, like, who was the girl? Was it silky? And also, I think Kerri Colby, who was like, I'm not afraid to be ugly. And they Just do, like, their makeup like this, or they do a challenge and they go like. You know what I mean? Like, they'll do a thing where they're like, honey, I'm not afraid to be ugly. Watch this. Like, And I'm like. It makes me cringe so hard. And I feel like, this is the story we're getting from Ginger, where it's like, I was too paused, but now I'm going to be a mess. And then she does, like, her wig like that, right? Or something? So the girls go get out of drag, and Ru announces that the girls will be working. No. Before they get out of drag, Ru announced that the girls will be working in pairs for the first design challenge. What's your history with working in pairs on Drag Race?
Acid Betty
Ooh, my history in working with pairs.
Ginger Minj
I worked with Valentina on Club 76, an iconic challenge.
Bob the Drag Queen
Damn, they could better have all the. The tea ready. How was your experience?
Acid Betty
Oh, I mean, honestly, I had so much fun with Valentina. It was a mess. It was gonna be the moment I knew we were gonna be paired together. I knew it was gonna be a mess, but, I mean, Valentina is just iconic in every single way. Breath. Way you boil it down. I just love being around her. Always have.
Bob the Drag Queen
And who are you paired with on the political challenge?
Acid Betty
Oh, my God. Kim.
Bob the Drag Queen
Kim. How was that?
Acid Betty
It was interesting. It was, like, the first time I feel like I saw Kim nervous about something on the show, like, because it was like we were recording together, and Michelle was, like, giving her notes, and it was kind of just, like, not sticking to Kim. And then Michelle was like, what the fuck is happening? So then I was like, what the fuck is happening? I could see Kim was, like, going down, and then she painted herself a sad clown the next day. Yeah, it was a whole. It was a whole.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bubba was so crazy because I worked.
Acid Betty
But you and Derek, that challenge, like, killed it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I had so much fun. Derek was honestly a pleasure to work with. Absolute pleasure to work with. I love working with her, but they're doing a design. A design couples, like, pair, like, group challenge, but specifically for design, which is interesting. And then so as the girls are meeting something Ginger Min says, I'm like, I. When someone says something, I like to be like, is this true? Right. So she sees Alyssa. She goes, I stalked you online. And I'm like, did you?
Acid Betty
Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Name two pictures I name two pictures I posted. If you stalk me. If you stalked me, you should be able to name two pictures I posted.
Acid Betty
Well, that's what I think. That Ginger just, like, kind of starts saying shit. Like, she just starts saying shit, and she's. I feel like later on, she's like, Alyssa could be huge competition. Because I'm not that familiar with her, and I'm like.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I don't think we're seeing Alyssa as huge competition.
Acid Betty
You're just so TV.
Bob the Drag Queen
So Acid Betty is 47 years old, and she feels like she's. I mean, she's the second oldest person on this season of Drag Race after Nicole Paige Brooks, who I think is 54 years old. And honestly, I can. I can see why she feels that. I mean, Acid Betty was the only person in her. No, she was the oldest one from our season. I think she was 30. She was 30, 38 at the time.
Acid Betty
Yeah. There's a moment where she's talking to someone and she goes, yeah. It's crazy how, like, the old girls paired with the new girls. And then I'm like. And when she said that, I was like, is season eight Cynthia and Acid considered an old girl?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I think old seasons. I mean, we were the last Logo season. So everyone. Everyone after 8 is VH1, MTV. We were on Logo. Do y' all hoes even know what Logo is? We were basically a web show. We might as well have been a YouTube show. In fact, on my season, our untucked was on YouTube. It literally. Do you remember this? The next morning, we were all going.
Acid Betty
To YouTube to watch Untucked and logotv.com for, like, the deleted scenes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. And Betty's workroom look is killing me. It's where the Wild things are meets WeHo Pride. And honestly, it's so great. It's so Betty. I hope we see this jacket every episode. I really do. With the chains and the spikes and the fur.
Acid Betty
She looks so good.
Bob the Drag Queen
She does. She.
Acid Betty
She looks, like, well rested. I don't know. I don't think she's, like, done anything, but I feel like she just looks like she's in a really good place.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love Betty. Alyssa said that she wanted to work with Diabet. There's another, like, okay, so RuPaul. So I think when RuPaul is, like, you all can decide who you work with, she knows it's going to be a mess. Like, if we're not pairing you up, it's going to be some drama mama, right? So we find out that Acid Betty has her pick, baby. Acid Betty is. I don't know, the. The. The shirtless top 6 foot 5 at the party with his shirt off. Because everyone is like, I want Betty. And Betty's like, so Betty can choose whoever she wants. Alyssa wants to work with diabetic. Diabetic is like, no, thank you. Diabetic. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good on that. I want either acid beta. I want gingerbread. I'm good.
Acid Betty
So I don't blame her after, like, Alyssa just called her a bitch three times in a row.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. Yes. Yeah, You. You are the bitch. That's everything. You are the bitch. Not a bitch, you're the bitch.
Acid Betty
Just so you're clear, I fuck men.
Bob the Drag Queen
Good evening. I ran into her at World Pride and it took everything in my power not to be like, good evening. I don't think she would have got it, but it took everything in my to be like, good evening. That's for the girls who watched our untucked. Okay, I'll be honest. I used to dread checking my bank account, especially at the end of the month. An overdraft fee over here, a surprise transaction here, and suddenly you're playing financial catch up. It it's always like my money was working against me instead of with me. That's why I really appreciate how Chime does things differently. When you set up a direct deposit through Chime, you unlock fee free features that just make life easier. Like getting paid up to two days earlier, fee free overdrafts up to $200, and real time transaction alerts that keep you in the daily balance updates. Game changer. It helped me build better habits just by making it easier to see what I'm working with every single day. I've even had times where the 247 customer service was a clutch. Okay. And I had some questions about transactions late at night and someone actually picked up the phone and spoke to me. Plus, with access to over 50,000 fee free ATMs. That's 50,005 and 40 fee free ATMs. Finding one nearby is almost never an issue. Which definitely beats hunting down a branch or shelling out some crazy withdrawal fees. Chime is banking done right. No monthly fees, no maintenance fees, just tools that help you move forward. And if you qualify with direct deposit, the free overdraft up to 200 can be a real safety net. Work on your financial goals through Chime today. Open an account in 2 minutes@chime.com sibling that's chime.com sibling. Chime feels like progress.
Naomi Smalls
Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services and debit card provided by the Bancorp Bank NA or Stride Bank NA members, FDIC spot and eligibility requirements and overdraft limits apply. Timing depends on submission of payment file. Fees apply at out of network ATMs. Bank ranking and number of ATMs, according to U.S. news and World Report. 2023 time checking account required.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've had seasons in life where I really needed someone to talk to. Like after a messy breakup or those weeks when the stress just feels like it is getting, like, just ripping through your chest. And I remember thinking, okay, therapy sounds great, but where do I even start? Finding someone available who takes insurance and who actually gets you can feel impossible. Y' all know, 2024 was a crazy year for me. And that's why I love what Rul doing. Rula makes mental health care simple, affordable, and actually accessible. Which, let's be real, it has not always been. They're not just some tech company. Rula is a healthc care provider group, which means they focus on care first, and tech just makes the whole process smoother. They work with over 15,000 licensed therapists and psychiatrists. Most people only pay $15 per session with insurance. That's it. No waiting weeks or dealing with endless insurance headaches. You just answer a few questions, and Rula matches you with a therapist who actually fits your needs. Some people even get their first appointment and little as 24 hours. Whether you're looking for therapy, medication, support, or honestly, even if you're not totally sure what you need yet, Rula meets you where you are, and they stick with you to make sure you're not just getting started, but you're making real progress. Thousands of people have already trusted Rula to support them on their journey toward better mental health and overall well being. Go to rula.comrivalry to get started today. Again, that's R U L A.com rivalry. Support the show and take the first step toward better mental health. Today. You deserve quality care for someone who actually cares. All right, so Betty chooses Denali, and then Dia. Betty chooses. I should start saying Acid because I always call her. I've always called her Betty. Everyone calls her Acid. I call her Betty.
Acid Betty
Yeah, I mean, she seems more Betty. I feel like Dia. I. I, like, always called Dia. Betty. Dia.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. What do you call Acid Betty?
Acid Betty
I might just call her Acid, actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
You think? Everyone calls her Acid. I'm the only one who calls her Betty. So Acid chooses Denali, Daya chooses Ginger, and Alyssa and Cynthia kind of end up together, right? And. But they're. They're happy. Like, you know, we're Puerto Rican sisters. We're going to get this cooking. I honestly wish I could have seen Diabetti with Acid Betty. I feel like that would have been a really great choice, but Acid Betty had her pick, and she chose Denali.
Acid Betty
So do you think that Cynthia had any feelings about acid not being with her?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, she said that she had feelings about. Because then after they start sewing, diabetes is like. Diabetes looks at Alyssa and she's like, do you feel some kind of. Do you feel hurt? Are you mad? She goes, yeah, I am, actually. I am a little hurt. And Cynthia was like, I'm a little hurt, too, because no one wanted to. It seemed like no one wanted to work with Cynthia. Like, Cynthia wasn't at the top of anyone's list. You know what I mean?
Acid Betty
Yeah, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I feel like. I mean, who would you want to work with?
Acid Betty
I mean, call me basic, but I feel like I would want acid. She's just, like, such a creative. We have seen time and time again, like, how amazing she is when it comes with, like, creating her vision, making it come to life. And I feel like her creativity knows no bounds, and that's like a goal in Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
And only that I remember back. I don't know if I'm allowed to mention this. I don't want to trigger you.
Acid Betty
Oh, God, here we go. Anyway, back to spitting in a bag. Sitting in a bag.
Bob the Drag Queen
But during. During. During Klarna Gate.
Acid Betty
I'm listening.
Bob the Drag Queen
During Clarnegate, um, Kim, one of her social posts, which is so funny. Kim, the way Kim recorded this one post, it looked like gun to head. Like, I felt like, like, you and other girls were, like, doing these things. And Kim. I mean, it looked like she had a gun to her head. She's wearing this. This coat. Acid Betty made her this, like, square bubble coat, but it was, like, almost like vinyl. And the coat comes up to here, so you can't see him's mouth. You can't. All you see is her eyes. She's wearing a bob. And if Kim's wearing a little bob, she's tapped out.
Acid Betty
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you see Kim and a little bob, she's either goofing off or she is tapped the fuck out. She has this little bob on, and you can't see anything. You can hear the paper off camera crumpling as she's reading. I always think about that when I think about Asabetti's sewing. And I was like, ken, where'd you get this coat from? She go as the. Betty made it. But that just. I don't know why that sent me. That sentence sent me to the moon. I was obsessed with that video.
Acid Betty
That's so funny.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's probably still on Kim's page. Someone go back and try to find. She might have. I thought she went. She might have been. But I remember the coat. The coat, for sure.
Acid Betty
But anyway, Qu taught us so many things about social media that was, like, our first ever, like, brand partnership. And just, like, now, knowing what brands ask of and how you can, like, remix it and make it make sense for yourself is so different than Ben Clarna.
Bob the Drag Queen
Low key changed the game for Drag Race. Girls getting deals and sponsorships. Low key.
Acid Betty
I think so, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
And when I had heard what y' all had made, I was like, bitch. I would have made them. Bitch. I would have made that many posters. So. So they're all saying, so diabetes seems concerned about Ginger's aesthetic choices, which I think is valid.
Acid Betty
Mm.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is valid. And Betty is so Betty's throwing out all these ideas back and forth, like, so many ideas. It seems like it's madness. Betty's throwing out, like, a million, like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Acid Betty
Fish and bird and fire and ice and floor and ceiling.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah. And left and right and up and down and black and white and day and night. It's like, girls, beat, beat, bitch, move slow. Savannah, Savannah, slow down. Savannah, slow down. But then I. Denali's like, okay, I think we're overthinking this. So then RuPaul walks in, and this where the. The world learned that Cynthia Lee Fontaine has had a lot of health issues. She had liver cancer shortly after our season. Or is it shortly after season nine? I can't remember.
Acid Betty
Why do I feel like it was. I remember learning it was between the seasons, I believe. Yeah, I think it was between. And I just remember, like, hearing that Acid Betty went to, like, go stay with her. I think it was, like, before. Like, either before cast announcement or like, our season was happening. And I just remember being like, wow, Acid's a real one for that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Betty's. She. She's a. She's a real one. She's had liver cancer. She had lower back surgery, and she had a hip replacement. I just saw her in Austin when I was on tour, and, girl, like, she was like. She had just gotten off her walker, I think.
Acid Betty
Wow.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, she was using a walker. Like, she. I mean, having a hip replacement is a. Obviously a massive surgery, but Cynthia is. But she smiles through everything. Like. Like, that girl is unflappable. Like, she is, y' all. When I tell you Cynthia Lemontaine is genuinely probably the nicest drag queen I've ever met in my life. And it's genuine. It's not fake. It's not phony. She's just genuinely one of the most lovely people I've ever met in my life ever.
Acid Betty
I feel like for. Also, for you to say that about a drag queen speaks volumes, like, for you to care.
Bob the Drag Queen
To even mention it. Yeah.
Acid Betty
To even mention it. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. She's. She's. She is. Genuinely. She is. I. I'm gonna. I don't. I can't speak because I don't know every other miscongenial. I don't know all those people, but I think that Cintily Fontaine might be the most deserving Miss Congeniality ever.
Acid Betty
Well, I mean, she kind of is the last one since they switched it to fan favorite.
Bob the Drag Queen
Forgot. Yay, Ben Favorite. Yay. Did anyone on this season win a design challenge? Everyone's like, I got sent home. I was in the bottom. Did anyone. I was saved. Did any. I don't think anyone from this bracket won their design challenge.
Acid Betty
Yeah, I don't think so. I would totally. I could totally see acid and dia though, winning.
Bob the Drag Queen
But Kim won that one, right? The. No, the. The money one. No, it wasn't money. It was. She was wearing money. Kim was a hairball. Honestly, the re. Having us all do a different design challenge was actually one of their best ideas they've ever done. That was great. I mean, it would suck that you ended up with a boat.
Acid Betty
It honestly was probably for the best. I think it. I think it was like I got away with a caper.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you remember when we thought that Robbie Turner was a plant by production.
Acid Betty
Just like a spy?
Bob the Drag Queen
We really were convinced because what. The reason why we all thought that was because one, she was kind of weird. She's just being kind of weird. And then two, when she was. When she was passing out the roles, the producers would. To this day, I don't know what they whispering. They would whisper something in her ear, and then she would pass out the assignments, and they would come whisper something else, and then she passed. My theory is that they were like, in this first round, you have to do these three girls. Next time, you have to do the. That's my theory. But to this day, I do not know what they whispered in her ear.
Acid Betty
I mean, I feel like they were like, it was all just trying to figure it out, because I do remember Robbie being like, oh, I was. I had to choose one for myself.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Acid Betty
And then got ended up with dog poop.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, the dog poop thing. That. That Was. We were like, she's. She works for them. She's an insider. This is RuPaul's best friend. Because you on. Y' all be on the show makes you crazy. You. When you're on reality tv, you feel crazy. Yes.
Acid Betty
When all you have is, like, the four. The four walls of your hotel room, a pink work room and no phone, literally, it makes you go insane.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I really love that when they. When Acid Betty's over there, she's like, I want to win. Like, I want to win this. I feel like a lot of girls are like, I just want to. I came here to have fun. I just want to. She's like, I want to win. I want to win this show.
Acid Betty
I want to prove to myself that I still got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Literally. Betty's like, I want to win. I want to win something. I need to win, and I want a fucking win. And honestly, because a lot of girls are afraid to say that, which seems. I still think it's crazy when girls tell me they go on Drag Race and don't intend to win. I don't even know what to say, because that is so crazy to me. That's crazy.
Acid Betty
Especially now. It's not to be that girl, but, like, when there's a more. It's double the prize of when we were competing, you know? So, like, yes, go in there and want to win.
Bob the Drag Queen
And not only that, with the market being so oversaturated with so many of us, there are over. There are over 230 Rue girls. There are over 600 drag race girls internationally. I think the issue is, like, girl, now it's almost guaranteed that only, like, two or three of y' all are going to be touring.
Acid Betty
Right?
Bob the Drag Queen
So if you're not going to tour, you better make the. You better make the money.
Acid Betty
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because. Because, you know, going on Drag Race is expensive, y' all. It is very expensive.
Acid Betty
It's expensive to go on Drag Race. It's expensive to be a Drag Race girl. After Drag Race, it's. It's a very expensive craft, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can we talk about something we. We didn't talk about yet? The amount of time these girls have done this show. Acid Betty's done the show twice. This is her second round. Denali's done the show twice. Her second round, Diabet twice. Ginger Min is on her fourth Drag Race run. Alyssa. Alyssa Summers is on her second, and Silver is on her third.
Acid Betty
Does it count?
Bob the Drag Queen
Alyssa Hunter. Sorry. Alyssa Hunter is on her second. Does it count? What do you think?
Acid Betty
It counts, like, in my mind, Cynthia came back twice because she. This. I feel like All Stars is just so insanely different than a regular season.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you don't think that. But Cynthia. Cynthia didn't go home from an injury. She did her entire season. She did two full seasons. Two full runs. She wasn't sitting home like Eureka. She just got sent home.
Acid Betty
But on those original seasons, she's at the mercy of the judges. Fully.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Acid Betty
Not reliant on, like, all your competitors. Like, you are in every season of All Stars, you know.
Bob the Drag Queen
So do you consider Eureka having done it four times if you include Canada in two seasons?
Acid Betty
No, I consider her doing it, like, three. Three. Three times.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's interesting.
Acid Betty
But that's just like me. I. I definitely feel like Ginger has competed four times.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. She's done three All Stars.
Acid Betty
I mean, I would believe sex if you told me it was six.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, my question is, wait, so does she. Is. Are she in jujubee tied now? Because juju did UK versus the World. She did two All Stars. She did her season, but then she also did Queen of the Universe.
Acid Betty
Oh, that's right.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she did the one with the students drag you.
Acid Betty
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she did Celebrity Drag Race.
Acid Betty
I mean, she is definitely the most decorated, or what would you call it? Most appeared.
Bob the Drag Queen
Use hash brown.
Acid Betty
Loaded up. Loaded the fuck up.
Bob the Drag Queen
By the way, people got a real kick out of you saying presenting hole. That was a real. A real hit on the podcast. She's presenting hole to Tina Burner.
Acid Betty
I have to tell you something that I wish I would have had edited out for the untucked.
Bob the Drag Queen
Got it. Okay, so we get back to sewing. This is where Alyssa Hunter said that she was hurt, that diabetic didn't choose her. And. And also, just so you guys know, I don't know why this cracked me up so much at 38 minutes and 13 seconds. For some reason. That does not make any sense. They just show Alyssa Hunter picking a wedgie. I do not know why they included this footage. It didn't. It was. It wasn't about it. It wasn't even, like, a hot thing. It wasn't like, you know, when they zoomed in on Denali's ass and, like, showed her ass walking away. They do that a lot. If you. If you.
Acid Betty
I feel like that was a weird shot as well, but they do.
Bob the Drag Queen
They've done it before. Like, if you. If someone mentions your butt, they will show your butt. They did it with delay McQueen because Chi Chi was talking about how cute her butt was, and they shot Talalah's butt. So they will show butts if someone's talking about your butt. But it was just a random shot of Alyssa just picking a wedgie at 38 minutes and 13 seconds. If you don't believe me, check the timestamp. It was. It was a crazy cut.
Acid Betty
Can we talk about the interview Trade jacket?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. How do you feel about the trade jacket?
Acid Betty
No, how do you feel about the trade jacket?
Bob the Drag Queen
So. So me and Monet were famously had a conversation about Ora Mayori. And I don't really care about the being, calling yourself Trey thing. I mean, I'm like, be confident. Say. Say the thing. Show your muscles. You worked for them. Show them off. You know, so it doesn't. It doesn't bother me when someone's like, I'm the trade. Because in her defense, she was being called that. Like, everyone was like, you are the trade of the season. It was like. It was. She was known for that more than this money gun thing that she thinks everyone remembers she was known for. I was like, does. There are certain stuff people be referencing. I'm like, girl, no one remembers that. I did not remember that. I didn't remember that the money gun was the reason you went home.
Acid Betty
I think those are the two things that she's referencing pretty heavy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, if lil Mama Lydia came back in five years, baby, I wouldn't remember those scissors. I would not have remembered those scissors, baby. I'm sorry. I only remember it because it was two weeks ago. You know what I mean?
Acid Betty
Totally. Totally.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I just didn't remember that you did the money gun. I had no clue. It just. It never even occurred to me. But how do you feel about the trade jacket.
Acid Betty
Pass. No, I think it. I. I just thought that was hideous.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I don't think the jacket was pretty.
Acid Betty
No, I think it was. I also just like, you're not trade. You are not trade. No one ever told you that. No one ever told you that. You know, like, that's how I feel.
Bob the Drag Queen
Damn, cook throw.
Acid Betty
I guess I just also come from back. I just. Trade is just such a different. The way that drag race has diluted trade. Yeah, I guess she is trade.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, language evolves. And I think. And I know there's people who are like, you can't change. You actually can change language. It changes literally all the time. And the definition of the word, the word trade, whether people like it or not, it has expanded.
Acid Betty
Yeah, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nail me to the cross.
Acid Betty
But trade in the drag race world, to me is like, you have all your teeth and you have eyebrows.
Bob the Drag Queen
Basically, as they say, language is descriptive, not prescriptive, Right? So it's just how people are using the word. So the definition of the word literally has literally changed. Like it has. The definition of the word literally has literally changed because people were just using it wrong. But it's not really what it's meant to say. It's what you mean when you say the words. So I'm sorry, y' all. The definition of trade has changed. I don't know what you want me to tell you. I'm not one of the ballroom girls who's like, being like, you can't change it like Greg did. I'm sorry. You can't fight the only thing causing this change. So you're fighting an uphill battle. This episode of sibling rivalry is brought to you by booking.com booking. Yeah.

We find out that Betty wrote the script for her and Denali. I have a sneaking suspicion that Betty also made these bodices. Yes, and by the way, that has not been confirmed. That's just my suspicion. So what did Denali do?
Acid Betty
She chose the right partner, that's for damn sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
That. Well, Betty chose her. Technically.
Acid Betty
She, she worked out hard enough to be the prettiest polished.
Bob the Drag Queen
The trade. You mean, you mean the trade of.
Acid Betty
A season or whatever you want to call it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do love her tank top. Her interview. Tank top is so cute.
Acid Betty
I love that, like the invisible, like, strap.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's so cute.
Acid Betty
That was very cute. I mean, this is the way that you would want to go back to All Stars. Like so, so not even so like it's not even coming back. Like looking so skinny or so pumped up. It's like you just look healthy and you're glowing and I feel like Denali just looks ready for it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. Coming back pumped up is kind of iconic. Like, I feel like Alaska made coming back pumped up a thing. Maybe I'm losing my brain for that. I feel like Alaska is the reason girls come back pumped up.
Acid Betty
I think like that whole season, I feel like ador was pretty pumped up.
Bob the Drag Queen
But Detox was pumped up the first time.
Acid Betty
Yeah, Detox been pumped up.
Bob the Drag Queen
You ain't got. You ain't gotta get pumped up. If you stay pumped up, you ain't gotta get. So Cynthia and Ari. So Cynthia, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande walk into the room. These two, they're a lot. I love them both. They are so, like. Because I feel like usually folks walk in the room and they're like. They're basically, like, fawning all over the girls or they're goofing off, but it turned into, like, this, like, deeply emotional.
Acid Betty
Love for each other.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Cause when they're interviewing, they're really, like. They're really with each other. They're not the. Yeah, yeah, the camera's there. They're really, like, there to support each other through this interview. And then Ginger starts crying because she feels connected to the movie Wicked or Wizard of Oz, which I said on my YouTube or my TikTok before. There's something about Disney gays and wizard of Oz Gaze. The Venn diagram is a perfect circle. Like, if you love wizard of Oz, you are a Disney gay.
Acid Betty
I didn't even know that was a genre of gay. Wizard of Oz gay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wizard of Oz gay girl.
Acid Betty
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
Wizard of Oz gays are a full thing. Todrick is a Wizard of Oz gay. Ginger's a Wizard of Oz gay.
Acid Betty
Rue is a. Like, I know Rude loves it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I know that Rude. Rude does the shoe thing a lot. Whenever you mention her shoes, she does the Dorothy Gale shoe turn. And I guess she does like it a lot. She's more of a Diana Ross gay.
Acid Betty
I don't see Ru as a Disney gay, though, because I don't think.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because I don't know Rue. I don't haven't seen Rue talk that much about wizard of Oz, but I know that Ru is a Diana Ross gay. If anything, Rue is a share Diana ross, like, over 60s diva gay.
Acid Betty
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Honestly, over 70s. Because RuPaul is in her 60s. So if you're a diva over 70, RuPaul will worship at your throne for sure.
Acid Betty
You guys watching at home? Tally the episodes that Bob mentions. Ru's age.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just said in her 60s. I didn't say the age this time. So that one doesn't count. That one doesn't count. So then we go to the main stage. So let's talk about these looks.
Acid Betty
So wait, I have a question. Are you more Elphaba or more Glinda?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that I'm sitting as I wear pink. I Think that in reality, I'm much more of a Glinda. I don't have what it takes to do what Elphaba did. Like, fuck the whole system. Stealing the grimory, like, fighting these monkeys, like. But. But I think that on a more surface level, I am much more Elphaba than I am Glenda. For sure.
Acid Betty
Yeah. What are you, Bo and Yang, Then.
Ginger Minj
Bob is Madam Morrible.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm madamurable.
Ginger Minj
Yeah, absolutely.
Bob the Drag Queen
And Jacob is Bach. All right, let's look at these looks together. Here we go. Well, you know I'm gonna say it. I Love this dress RuPaul's wearing. You know I'm gonna say it. I love it.
Acid Betty
I love it, too. This dress is so good.
Bob the Drag Queen
It looks like wrapped around her body, it looks so good. Honestly, everyone looks amazing. Every look up here. Law Roach. I love this suit. Ariana Grande, love that look. Cynthia Rivo. Michelle looks so good. Every look up here is amazing.
Acid Betty
I'm obsessed with Ariana Grande's dress. This Balmain dress is, like, doing it for me. This pose that she hit for the Runway is not even, like, hitting, like, all the amazing, like, metal flowers that's in there. Stunning.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm convinced that these are composite photos.
Acid Betty
They have to be, right, Because I.
Bob the Drag Queen
Don'T think that Ariana Grande and La Roach are that close in height, and I certainly don't think that Ariana Grande comes up to RuPaul's shoulder.
Ginger Minj
Oh, no, they're. They're absolutely composite folders, without a doubt. Sometimes if you look at them, they forget to put in the shadows.
Bob the Drag Queen
And the reflection screaming, Ariana Grande is just not coming up through RuPaul's shoulder. On. On no day is that happening. Never. Not once.
Acid Betty
Best stylist in the world. God damn, these are some hideous glasses. Hideous glasses.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I didn't love the glasses too much, but I. But I do love that suit, though.
Acid Betty
Just like, just the timing like this. These glasses would have been fine in 2017 or something, but not. Not on this current day.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shots, fire. Naga, let's go on to our first two queens, who are Diabetti and Ginger Minj. They chose to be the queens of Water. I love Dia Betty's look. I. This hair is. I love this, like, buzz cut with fins or, like, short hair with fins look. Aquaria does it out of dress. Have you seen Aquarius, like, by Hawk look that she does?
Acid Betty
Yeah, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
I will say right now, in my opinion, and I'm not a fashionista or anything, but I genuinely think that the two queens from Drag Race who understand fashion better than any other queens from the show are Rajah and Aquaria, for sure. Like, what Aquaria and Rajah do out of drag. Listen to me carefully. What they do out of drag is always sickening. Every single time. When Roger one of those, like, long, flowy caftans or her, like, big hat in her, like, it's always. It's just always spot on every time. And Aquarius Instagram is so fucking awesome to me.
Acid Betty
Yeah. Effortless or it comes across as effortless.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Acid Betty
And I feel like that's, like, more like they're, like, obviously they love fashion and everything, but I feel like they just have, like, engraved style. Sense of style.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Acid Betty
They just know who they are.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. It's ingrained in them. Ginger Minja's look. This. Let's keep it a buck. This is a tank dress.
Acid Betty
I hate this. I, like, actually hate this. It gives me, like, maleficent and stitch. If we're going in, like, the Disney.
Bob the Drag Queen
Route, it is like, I just don't understand what the judges were seeing that I'm not seeing.
Acid Betty
I think. I don't think you're alone in that.
Bob the Drag Queen
And they were really, like, raving, raving.
Acid Betty
If there was, like, some, like, dying elements that happened. Like, this whole, like, tie dye, black splatter on Ginger, which, like, I do like that as a detail when it comes to the look and, like, the customization of it. But it makes. Makes no sense for Glinda.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did she die at her painting herself?
Acid Betty
I. I don't. I mean, I don't know if she did or if Daya did or whatever happened, but, like, I like that detail for the look. But when you're putting it in the grand scheme of, like, Glinda and Elphaba. What about navy with black ink splatter? Says Glenn.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, to be fair, they're good witches and bad witches, because RuPaul was like, I'm not looking for no Elphaba and Glinda cosplay. I'm just looking for a good witch and a bad witch. Now, I will say this. To me, Diabet is clearly a bad witch. I do not see what's good witch about what. What Ginger M. Is doing.
Acid Betty
I think in her mind, it's like, I wear blonde.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, maybe. And. And I will say this. This challenge is really hard. Telling this story in such a short amount of time, basically, through. Through voiceover and, like, having to, like, walk and basically act it out while you do it is a. It is a really. It's a hard challenge. I do not envy the girls for having to do this, but something about theirs was. It was a little too on the nose. You know what I mean?
Acid Betty
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, I'm not above a joke. That is a standard. But there comes a point where I'm like, guys, these jokes are, like, stale. Stale.
Ginger Minj
I have a question.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have an answer.
Ginger Minj
A lot of the times when they're doing Drag Race challenges like this, where they have to, like, have a script online, it seems like they're giving a Mad Libs outline, and they fill in certain words and phrases. Is that the case?
Bob the Drag Queen
No. So, no. So we. We did this on our season. We did this with. With our that's. That's my mama challenge, where we. They basically gave. It told us to write monologues, and then we just go into, like, a really unpretty room. It was, like, in the corner of the soundstage.
Acid Betty
Like fluorescent lighting.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah. With like, a blanket over your head, basically. And you just record this off camera. You just record into the thing, and it's up to you. You just write what you want to write. They give you. It has to be this amount of time, and you just say whatever you want to say, basically.
Ginger Minj
But there's some other ones. Like the princess challenge from season nine, where all the girls were basically like, my name is Blink. I'm from the kingdom of Blink. I like Blink, and my magical powers are Blink.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I think with those, they probably just had to hit certain points. I don't know. I wasn't on season nine. I would know how to answer that question. But it seemed like they just had to hit certain points just to make it make sense, I guess. Like, if the challenge is, where are you from? What are your powers? You have to say it at some point. You know what I mean? But also, Drag Race girls, we tend to be a little formulaic. You know, there's a reason why every girl says their name and says they're going to take the crown in their verses. You know, maybe I say Naomi.
Acid Betty
No, I could actually totally see what Jacob's saying. Like, when I listened to this of Daya and Ginger, it did sound like Mad Libs a bit. It didn't sound like anything like, straight from.
Bob the Drag Queen
Their brains. I do think, though, that they've kind of facilitated your. It's a little bit easier now than it used to be.
Acid Betty
Oh, my God. Even just the fact that they have, like, like a month plus to get ready for it instead of two weeks, you know, that alone.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, y' all, we got ready in two weeks. And by the way you don't. You don't pre prepare for any challenges. I've heard girls are walking in with verses written. I've heard girls are getting all, like, getting like, just. Y' all realize when we did season eight, we didn't even know. They just gave us a list of looks. We didn't know what was for a challenge. We didn't know what was for the Runway. So we did not get a list of Runway looks. We were just like, get these 20 looks together. Do it in two weeks. So there are times you would spend more time on a look, and it would fully be for a challenge, but not only for a challenge, but for a look that you weren't even asked to do. Like, for example, we prepared everything in the Ruko's Empire. There were four characters. We prepared all four looks. We did. We did every look in there. We did all four of those looks like looks. So we just never got to wear certain ones.
Acid Betty
I feel like they were figuring it out.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Acid Betty
Which, I mean, to be one of the early season girls, that's just. It's organically gonna happen that way.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is what it is. My boy.
Acid Betty
Eating the goddamn way.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, literally. Literally. But I. I enjoy Diabetti a little bit more in this one. I like the way she was moving her body. I like her outfit. I thought it was great, honestly.
Acid Betty
Also, Daya is, like, one of the. In my opinion, one of the best makeup artists on Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
She. She. She always looks great. I agree.
Acid Betty
Just so detailed.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's go on to Cynthia Leefontaine and Alyssa Hunter. So Alyssa, they're. They're doing these, like, fire and water looks and some. You know, I gotta be honest. Maybe it's just this still, but in a second look, I like Cynthia's more than I did on the show. I don't know what's going on, but in this iteration, I honestly kind of like it.
Acid Betty
Yeah. No, I feel like this is very obviously good and bad. They almost look like Pokemon, which I.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah.
Acid Betty
That'S for Jacob.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shout out to the pokegays.
Acid Betty
Totally remind me of Pokemon. I feel like Alyssa's hair is something I actually have never seen before.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Acid Betty
Which I really enjoy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Alyssa did not lie. This bitch is a fucking whiz with a hot glue gun. Like, this is a lot to do with hot glue. Like, it looks good.
Acid Betty
Yeah. No, this looks amazing. I'm very impressed. I'm actually. Yeah. I think that there's something about the whole, like, narrating that can either really help you or hinder you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, here's how it hindered Alyssa. Alyssa was like, my money gun works now, but then why don't you use it?
Acid Betty
Yes, yes. I thought the exact same thing when I saw that. Like, what the hell is that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, literally, like, this is literally Chekhov's gun. She's been taught. Do you know about Chekhov's gun? So if you see a gun in Act 1 by Act 2 or 3, it's gonna have to be fired or used at some point. Like, if you show the gun, you have to, like. She's literally been talking about this gun the. And since she first walked onto the stage, basically. And then she finally showed it, but didn't even use it. That's crazy.
Acid Betty
Is crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, yeah, she looks good. You know what I keep seeing from girls, y' all, if you make your. I. My tights. I either make them or I get them made for me because they stopped selling my. My color and tights. If you get tights made, you have to put the seam at the back of your leg. Do not put the seam on the side. That's the one thing that was driving me crazy about Alyssa's look, is that the seam was on the side. And it's supposed to look like skin, but there's a seam going up the side of your leg.
Ginger Minj
Wait, really quickly. Can we talk about the Beyonce tight drought?
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, so the reason why I started making my own tights and I actually started making them around season seven of RuPaul's Drag Race is because Beyonce and her team were on tour. They came into the city, and they went to the Capezio store, allegedly, and bought up every single pair of black person tights there was at all the Capezios, or at least the one I was shopping at. So I could not find my color tights at all. I only had a white people. Literally white and ballet pink in black. I could not find black people tights. It was insane. You could not find white people tights in New York City for, like, a hot minute. So then I was like, oh, fuck, I need to start making my own tights. So I started. I went and just bought brown spandex, and I just made myself a pair of tights. And honestly, if you're a queen out there, I don't recommend. I cannot. I cannot recommend it enough, because, 1. Your tights will never run. Ever run. They don't. It's spandex. They don't rip. They don't run. I know Naomi's not a tights girl. Although I have seen A few days where the legs were covered. So just make sure. Y' all know.
Acid Betty
You can't just let me hold a record. You just can't let me.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, yeah, that was. That was, like, literally insane. It was. It was crazy. Do you have any other thoughts about these two looks?
Acid Betty
No. Yeah, totally. The money gun. And, I mean, I did, like, the chunk la. I guess I actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what I really loved? I wrote it down. Do you remember that I had liver cancer, mija.
Acid Betty
Okay. When Alyssa gave her that idea, when she was like, you're going to be my old, crazy aunt, and I'm going to be your young, spry niece. I don't care what the age difference is. I'm not doing that. I don't care if, like, Lydia Butthole Collins is trying to call me Tia. I'm not doing that storyline.
Bob the Drag Queen
And that's why you're not missing geniality. And she was.
Acid Betty
T. T, T, T.
Bob the Drag Queen
You are now older than I was on Drag Race. It's weird when you. When you. When you.
Acid Betty
All right, so up next, we have Denali.
Ginger Minj
And Acid Bob is the same age as Acid Betty was on your season of Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm the age Betty was on my season of Drag Race, which is whenever I meet someone, I realize I'm older than they were. When Always blows my mind, like, oh, my God, I'm older than you were when you. When I was. I was a baby compared to you. So let's go into Acid Betty and Denali. So I'm really shocked. First of all, this was my favorite script.
Acid Betty
For sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
The idea was so fun, it didn't come across corny. If they did not spoil it for us in Act 1, that iced coffee thing would have been such a fun surprise. Like, I wish they hadn't told us that they were gonna work at a coffee shop together. Because, like, fire and ice, making iced coffee, that was actually, like, low key. Like, I'm not gonna go. Okay. I'm not gonna be a hyperbolic, because everyone read me for saying Tina Burner was flawless. But I'm not gonna go as far as to say it was like M. Night Shyamalan twist. But, okay. I never saw it coming.
Acid Betty
If Tina was in this look that Acid's wearing, it'd be game over.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, baby. If she came out in fire, they'd have been like, actually, we are doing eliminations. Let's go into their looks. The. Okay. I can't get over it, guys. Acid Betty looks amazing.
Acid Betty
She really does.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was. So we're gonna get to the judging in a second. This look is great. It was weird. They were acting like she does not look stunning. That was so strange to me.
Acid Betty
I mean, I will say, when Law called it out, it would have been nice just to have some asymmetry with the skirt. Like, I don't think it looks safety pinned up in hodgepodge, like Law was saying. But the fact that it was like, kind of more of a. I don't know what you would call that kind of. Of pleat, but it's like, like brought up instead of like, I think she could have showed one leg.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Acid Betty
I don't know if it would have made her win, but, like, whatever. The side of her hair is going to pick the other side to do a leg slit on. And I think that would have just been, like, nice for the eye to digest.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think it was worth being, like, nitpicking this skirt thing. You know what I mean?
Acid Betty
It wasn't worth. Worth putting ginger over this, that's for damn sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I do like Denali's dress. I love the Denali pattern for this. I actually really appreciate when a girl pads and doesn't pad. There's something really nice about being like, you know when to pad and you know when not to pad. And I think Denali genuinely gets it. She knows when to pad. She knows when not to pad. That being said, I could see the bottom of her pads. Her pads were not smooth at the bottom. Like, it was like. It was giving. It was giving. Sometimes if you don't smooth your pad out of the bottom, it looks like a. Like a really overly muscular thigh muscle popping out. But still, the shape is quite nice. And I. I do think that she looks good. These two look. They look great.
Acid Betty
And you think her thigh, like, her hip pad goes all the way down to her, like, knee here?
Bob the Drag Queen
It looks like it stops right above her knee. Like, right above the knee. I can. You can. You don't. If you zoom in, you can see the lip of the bottom of the pad. Do you zoom into it?
Acid Betty
Yeah. I'm so, like, I want her to, like, say something about it, because I know that bitch is so, like, she has. This is coming from someone who's, you know, known for their legs. She has some of the most, like, strong, like, most powerful looking legs I've ever seen. So I'm very curious. Like, if it's a combination of the pad on top of her, like, already muscular thigh, it's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did you zoom into the bottom of her right leg and you see that, that bump out there? That. That lip down there?
Acid Betty
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, her. Her muscles aren't doing that. Cameron Michaels don't. Doesn't even look like that when she does. When she does drag.
Acid Betty
See, she hasn't been dragged.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, she. I kind of Loki did quit, actually.
Acid Betty
I know. I mean, she should. She should just be hot. She's so hot.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought you were gonna say because you. Because you. Because you hit her drag. I was like, damn, Naomi's not.
Acid Betty
No, she's actually. I mean, your season only fans now. Cameron Michaels is one of the queens I have spent the most time with in my entire life because we shared a dressing room in Vegas for like two years straight.
Bob the Drag Queen
I gotta be honest, every time I've ever hung on the camera. Michael, she's been lovely.
Acid Betty
Love her, Love her. We've had the most weird, like, deep conversations and, like, deep conversations in silence. And like, I've cried. She's cried. I love that. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I like Cameron, Michael. She's fierce. I'm really intrigued by. During the judging. It was never brought up that Acid Betty wrote the script. Betty has a little bit too much integrity to say it herself. But like Denali, when they were like dragging your fucking friend for her skirt, you could have been like. Just to be clear, Acid Betty, like, wrote the script.
Acid Betty
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or I wonder, did Betty show her how to make this bodice or did she make it herself? I don't know. Because if she. If Betty showed her how to make this bodice or made the bodice for her and they were like, worshiping me and dragging her skirt, I've been like. I'd have been like, just to be clear, ask Betty either show me how to do this or she made this. Because they have the exact same arm cut out. That Schiaparelli inspired arm cut out. And it is weird if she. If Betty made this or showed how to make this and she didn't say anything, that's crazy to me. Right?
Acid Betty
We gotta stop with the, like, hot word designer plugin for your looks.
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you mean?
Acid Betty
Like, I feel like there's been so. I mean, I. I'm guilty of this. Like, it's giving. Vivian Westwood. Is it like, is this really giving Schiaparelli? Is this really giving Schiaparelli?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know if it is or not. I don't know if it is or not. But I know that Betty said she was going to try to go for Schiaparelli and then Zlaroach Saw Schiaparelli. I mean, that's crazy. I just realized that when I was on Legendary, me and Law Roach had an argument about Schiaparelli. I, like, literally just remember that. But I feel like the one that we get the most often is Vivian Westwood.
Acid Betty
There's a hint of safety pin, deconstructed, plaid tartan, anything British. It's giving Vivian Westwood.
Bob the Drag Queen
Westwood down. Honey, I am Vivian Westwood.
Acid Betty
But, like, I don't see Schiaparelli in. Like, I'm not. I actually see amazing in Acids, and I also see amazing in Denali, so just don't see Schiaparelli in either.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I don't know enough about Schiaparelli to even make that comment. Yeah, I feel like this was. This was a tough challenge. And so to be clear, everyone on the main stage to the judge's face got great critiques except for Acid Betty. No one got a single bad critique except for Acid Betty, which seems like they're insinuating that Betty was in the bottom. Like, the. No, not in the bottom. Was the bottom.
Acid Betty
Yeah. That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
But they insinuated it. And. But then what's weird was when they left back, they started dragging the girls. They started being like. They were like, denali's padding is bad, Cynthia. And fucking. I could see through her sheer skirt. I could see her fucking pads. Cynthia and Alyssa, I could. Like, it was clearly. It looked like cardboard. Like, I was like, what? I know.
Acid Betty
I was kind of gagged to hear RuPaul talking about cardboard triggered.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I've been like, what is going? Like, wow, that was crazy.
Acid Betty
Embrace the material.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it's just weird to me that, like, they. I don't know. I don't know what they acted, but all we see is Acevedy being the only person getting a negative critique on stage. And they saved all their negative critiques for the. For three other people after they left.
Acid Betty
I mean, acid buddy did tell Rue, go fuck yourself in the workroom.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is true.
Acid Betty
Just a day before.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is true. Are they trying to see how, like, if they can get better, to snap, like, are we gonna get some great tv? Because I'm not gonna lie, I think this might be the Kumbaya bracket.
Acid Betty
You think so?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's gonna be the Kumbaya bracket. For sure. For sure.
Acid Betty
Yeah. I feel like I could totally see that. I don't think Betty is going in that with that headspace, but I do think that Ginger is going in with the headspace of being Denali.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is Cynthia Leefontaine is. And Alyssa might even be.
Acid Betty
They're not trying to ruffle any feathers. We're not trying to upset the fans. They gave me those kind of vibes also.
Ginger Minj
I feel like for the next bracket, they're just going to give their teammates the point and there's not going to be even any point Drama.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that's what I'm saying too. Like, I feel like this, this point exchange is going to just be like, literally the two of us who didn't win. Give your partner the point. If they did not, I would get. Because at one point they showed a clip the next week of Betty being like, we're not gonna give you the point, Diabetti, which obviously. Why the fuck would you give Diabetti a point if you're in the bottom, bitch, you won. You're good, bro.
Acid Betty
Right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, that's not even, that's not even gonna be. I bet next week, diabetic. Like, of course. Why, why would you. Like, I bet that's gonna be the clip of them being like, yeah, of course. Why would you do that? Anyway, let's do our makeup. Like, I don't see any drama coming from this, from this group, to be honest.
Acid Betty
No, no. Sadly. Sadly, I, I really wish that Acid was against a, A mistress or someone like someone in the first bracket.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know, I know. I'm still trying to figure out what world we live in where they're saying that Betty's outfit looks bad, Acid Betty's looks bad, and that Ginger Midge looks good. I feel like I'm in the Upside Down.
Acid Betty
This was, this is, it's, this is when it's really hard to look at it with, like, unbiased on untrusting. What's the way you want to look? What's another way for that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, it's just hard to trust the, it's hard to trust the, the, the, the validity of the critiques.
Acid Betty
Yes. When you, and then when you get the lip sync and the like, like, yeah, it's tough to like, because this look is Boo Boo the Fool.
Bob the Drag Queen
So they, they, they go back and do untucked and only Acid Betty and Ginger Minj change, which I found interesting. Um, and then we found out that Ginger Minj and Diabetti are the winners of this week's challenge. And at some point, Ginger Minj just. Ginger Minj is two years older than me. And she said they were saying, you're gonna do Defying Gravity and she said, 14 year old me is shitting her her pants right now. I didn't want to run the CR but girl, it came out when I was 17. This bitch is almost 20. Like gingerbread was a grown ass tax paying citizen when wicked came out.
Acid Betty
14 year old.
Bob the Drag Queen
Grown tax paying anyway. However, I digress. So they lived into Defying Gravity, which was a very weird because you also. What they do is we lip sync the entire song on Drag Race and they just edit it down because these songs are long. What was the one that Cynthia and Robbie Turner lip sync to?
Acid Betty
That Faith.
Bob the Drag Queen
That Faith. Faith Evans song? Yo, that song was long.
Acid Betty
Oh, my gosh. I feel like that was the song that we used to sing the most.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's such a banger. Na na na. No, that's Alex Newell. I started doing A couple Lights, but.
Acid Betty
That'S very, like Pride Coded that song, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mesmerized.
Acid Betty
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it's a remix, y' all. You can't just go, listen. It's like a. It's like a. It's like the Duke dude remix. So, like the. The Thunderbuss Mesmerized remix. But y' all, they were up there skating, singing forever. That song was long. As they chop it down. So they cut out all the parts with Glenda. It was a very strange cut if, you know, Defying Gravity. Like, this is a weird edit of this song.
Acid Betty
I know. And it's a shame that it. I mean, I don't know how the whole timing of, like, Wicked came out, but I really do wish it was the Cynthia Ariana version just for impact.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I mean, as a millennial who was 17 and going to college and a theater kid in high school, when it came out, I. I love the original version. Like, I love. And I didn't even Menzel Kristen Chenoweth. But I also love the new one too. Like, I don't. I don't. I don't feel super strongly this. It's kind of like. And I'm telling you, I love Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Holiday. I slightly favor one over the other.
Acid Betty
But, you know, I love both versions for sure. But I just think, like, having them sitting there, it would have been nice.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ginger Minj wins the lip sync. Do you agree?
Acid Betty
Sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, it was. It was.
Acid Betty
Do I think she should have been there in the first place? No, but, like, that's just. Look at the look. Look at the look that won.
Bob the Drag Queen
This lip sync was. It was fine. I honestly wish that they would have went a little more camp because, like, it's just so earnest, like iron. And Granny started crying. Like, oh, like, this is. This is. Is too. This Is too much, y' all. If you ever go and see.
Ginger Minj
She was crying about how Acid Betty was robbed.
Acid Betty
Okay, well, now she's validated. Now the tears are all of a sudden validated.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you ever go and see a drag queen performing Defying Gravity, it's always camp. It's always some humor to it. They go into the. They grab a broom from the. Behind the bar. They tie a trash bag around their neck. This was like the most earnest rendition of a drag queen lip syncing this song that I have. I think I've ever seen in my life.
Acid Betty
And like a red lame barlock.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was. I think, honestly, I would have rather have seen the girls do Loathing or. What is this feeling?
Acid Betty
Oh, my God. Loathing would have been great.
Bob the Drag Queen
That would have been. Or even the Wizard. And I was w. Like, had these.
Acid Betty
Girls seen Cynthia and Ariana do Wicked at this point yet or. No, I try to remember because I.
Ginger Minj
No, they filmed last summer and then Wicked came out in November.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, I remember I ran into Cynthia this summer when I. Was I on my solo tour? Was I on the Madonna tour? You're on the Madonna tour?
Acid Betty
Brag, brag, brag, brag, brag, brag, brag, brag, brag, brag. Bragging.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cynthia. This poses fall in Austin, Texas, and, yeah, Wicked hadn't come out yet, but I think. I can't remember. She was going to All Stars. She got back from all. I can't. I genuinely can't remember. She must have gotten back.
Ginger Minj
Well, even Cynthia Fontaine. Not Cynthia Revo.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cynthia Lee Fontaine. I've not seen. I've not seen Cynthia Revo in a very long time.
Acid Betty
Well, you saw her.
Ginger Minj
You did see her on the Madonna tour for.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't see her, actually. She was in the audience. I didn't even get to see her. How work never got to see her. So. Yeah. So Ginger Min. So Diabetti and Ginger man each get two points. Ginger Min, she gets an additional point. So Ginger is in the lead with three, Diabet in second place with two, and the other girls have no points. They have a point to give away, but we do not know who they're going to give them to. My prediction is that next week they're going to just give out their points to their partner. That's my prediction.
Acid Betty
They're gonna balance it out.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who's moving on from this bracket?
Acid Betty
I would say Ginger, Acid Betty and Dia.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I think it'll be Ginger Minj, Acid Betty and Diabet. Mainly because Acid Betty excels in design, even though Even though they played in her face this episode. She also is a good dancer. Acid Betty can dance. A lot of people don't know that Acid Betty can fucking dance.
Acid Betty
And she's funny.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, well, I don't know. Her snatch game was.
Acid Betty
Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I can't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Amanda, slow down. But she is a really good queen and she excels at a lot of stuff. So those are the three that I think at this point, from what I know, from what they're bringing, deserve to move on. I could see them swapping out Acid Betty and putting in Denali, though.
Acid Betty
Well, I do see Denali as a top contender. But now with the whole. It's now that I've seen how hard it is to dig yourself out of not winning in that first week. Yeah, I'm a little, like, weary.
Bob the Drag Queen
Which is fair.
Acid Betty
Especially because now the next week challenge is like, country bumpkin. I'm a country bumpkin. Like, but also, this is.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are they like, okay, first week, musical theater. Second week, country bumpkin. Third week, being a drag queen. Prince Florida. Yeah. Fourth week, glamour toad. Fifth week, wearing an ugly interest look on your third run. Like, what the is this?
Acid Betty
I know what the is that. I hate it. What this is. I know. This is when I'm like, oh, I would not want to be on this bracket.
Bob the Drag Queen
No musical theater country. If the next one is like, I don't know that I would be. I would be looking at the camera every episode. Like, for real. No, for real. Right. Right in front of my salad.
Acid Betty
Wicked country bumpkin Princess and the frog. It's gonna be something stupid like that Disney gay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who can do hocus pocus. Who can do hocus pocus the best. Like, this is crazy. All right, we'll see how over on. Over on hot socks, y' all.
Richard Karn
