---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. New Bracket, New Girls, Same High Stakes

• [00:13] Bob initially gets the episode number wrong, blaming a lack of notes:

  "I do not have my notes...I’m going off of memory alone here. So I, I’m gonna let, I’m gonna be fully upfront with y’all. I am just going off vibes today."

• [00:47] Monét teases Bob’s chaos, joking this is “just like every other episode.”

2. Challenge Structure & Pre-Show Preparation

• [03:00] This week features the Duets challenge—queens must write and perform verses, divided into musical styles: rap, R&B, and pop.
• [03:37] Bob prefers starting with design over performance, but acknowledges this challenge quickly sorts out who can keep up.
• [06:35] Conversation about how much verse-writing is done pre-show—Monét confirms:

  “Morgan [Michaels] got her verse written by someone else before she got to the show...Morgan confirmed it on stage.”
  [07:42] Bob jokes about the evolution of challenge-writing on Drag Race:
  “Back in my day, we had to write on the show...Actually, on my season, we fully wrote songs.”

3. Queen Dynamics & Alliances

• [04:47] Monét introduces the “Tres Leches Alliance” (Selena, Crystal, and April)—the Latina girls’ kiki (and Bob’s invented term, “Watinas”).
• [11:18] Bob observes how the returning queens—especially Silky—are “more muted” now due to fan perceptions and social media, referencing Mayari’s change:

  “You see this much more muted version of herself when she’s on the show...Because of what someone on a certain podcast said years ago.”

• [22:26] Monét highlights Selena’s Survivor-style gameplay, forming alliances across the groups:

  “She starts the Punani Pecpe alliance with Aura. She has the tres leches alliance...so she has alliances with literally everyone except Vivacious.”

4. Strategy and Group Assignments

• [10:15] Groupings are set:
  • Silky & Vivacious (rap)
  • April & Selena (R&B, “Boy Is Mine” stylings)
  • Aura & Crystal (pop)
• [12:05] Silky wanted R&B but is edged out by April and Selena—surprisingly lets it go.
• [14:10] Vivacious and Silky display positive teamwork; Vivacious is described as “cool, calm, collective,” embraced as a “woman of a certain age (52).”

5. Performance & Recording Session

• [13:41] April claimed to be a singer but failed to match pitch; Bob and Monét debate giving contestants leeway due to nerves vs. lack of skill.
• [18:08] Selena, Aura, and Silky are pegged as real singers, but Aura and Crystal ultimately do best in the studio.
• [21:23] Discussion of performance spectrum:

  “So talking is rapping. Rapping is speaking. Speaking is singing. Singing is yodeling. We’re all doing the same thing.” (Bob, 21:23)

6. Runway: Butter Yellow Theme

• [33:41] Both hosts praise Crystal for her innovative “melting butter” look, contrasting it to Silky’s more chaotic interpretation:

  “Crystal Method had a much better execution...bad news for Silky that someone had the same idea and did it way better.” (Bob, 48:18)

• [36:15] Both are stunned (and delighted) by Vivacious’ grand, club kid Grace Jones-style look.
• [42:44] Universal praise for Selena’s runway (“the best she’s ever looked”), which paid tribute to her late mother.

7. Lyrics and Performance Critiques

• The duo reads and performs the queens' verses, highlighting standout lyrics (notably Silky's “better than collard greens and cornbread, the fans go crazy over mother’s head”—[25:13]) and clowning on lazy or weak bars, pointing out who wrote what.
• [31:28] Monet: “Selena was better than April… Selena outshined her.”
• [34:09] Monet: “Crystal looks like a cool chick from Little Mix...”

8. Judging, Lip Sync, and Results

• Silky & Vivacious: Praised for synergy, Silky’s outstanding energy clearly leads the group. Vivacious is critiqued for low energy compared to her partner but gets respect for authenticity.
• Selena & April: Lackluster, due in part to song choice (a “Boy Is Mine” homage lacking a real climax).
• Aura & Crystal: Deemed the top pair for energy and vocal ability.
• [58:26] Lip sync to “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” is panned as “raggedy,” with Crystal ultimately winning.
  • Quote: “These bitches were raggedy bonk.” (Monet, 59:45)
• Point system: Crystal gets three, Aura two, the rest have one each to be given out next week.

9. Meta Commentary on Drag Race Skills

• Discussion on whether being a bad singer/rapper should be a drag on a queen’s placement.
  • [52:28] Bob: “I don’t think being bad at singing, rapping or dancing should really be a detriment on Drag Race...production should help you around that...”
  • [56:43] Monet: “Tamaroo said they aren't being judged on their singing ability, but their ability to entertain while creating a song.”

10. Speculation on Merging and Future Winners

• Both believe Crystal and Silky are the likeliest to “merge” from this bracket, but Selena could be a spoiler.
  • [62:49] Monet: “I think it’s going to be Crystal Method and Silk. Silk with a good milk.”

Transcript

[Monet]

Foreign.

[Bob]

Welcome back to Sibling Watchery, the show where we review RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 11, episode five.

[Monet]

No, episode four. Babe, I know, I know counting is hard, but we're in episode four.

[Bob]

Well, the truth is, y' all full t. I do not have my notes. I, I, I was watching the show. We got cut off in the last 10 minutes. I, I'm in a hotel. I don't have access to my notes. I can't see the Google Slide. I am going off of memory alone here. So I, I'm gonna let, I'm gonna be fully upfront with y'. All. I am just going off vibes today.

[Monet]

Okay, so, so just like every other episode. Got it.

[Bob]

How does that make. I'm, I literally take, take copious notes on this show. I have a, a full goo drive where I take copious notes. So how is this like every other show? I don't know.

[Monet]

You tell us, babe.

[Bob]

What do you. What is this bit you're doing?

[Monet]

What is this bit?

[Bob]

Is this part of your new stand up set? Is this what we can expect on high heels, bad knees?

[Monet]

Well, you get. You came to the high heels, bad knees, Comedy Store. What did you think?

[Bob]

Well, it's better than this bullshit you're doing on this podcast.

[Jacob]

So the new bracket is started and six new girls enter the workroom.

[Bob]

It's better than this you're doing today.

[Monet]

I say that it is. It was y'. All. Bob. Bob. We teased a very special opener for me in San Diego, and Bob opened for me on my first show on Thursday night. It was very lovely to have. You

[Bob]

sure we have a new bracket of girls. I don't have my notes. I can't. You have to guide us through. I literally can't even see my notes. I know.

[Monet]

I just did a little catch up before we start the episode like we sometimes do. I always thank you for coming to my show. Why we have so much vitriol, bitch,

[Bob]

because you don't act like when you start off nasty and then I match you, then you, you be like, whoa.

[Monet]

It's something that I learned from one of my exes. Anyway, so we have six brand new

[Bob]

girls guide us through the episode. I don't have. Let me grab my iPad, I mean, my, my tablet, see if I can access my notes from there.

[Monet]

Hold on. I don't.

[Bob]

Because you're not gonna fucking do it.

[Monet]

Someone asked, is Bob on the floor? Yes, Bob is on the floor. It's this new thing he's trying. He wants to be according to him, he wants to be more grounded. So you like sitting on the floor doing activities now?

[Bob]

I'm sitting on the floor because I. Because everything's falling apart. I can't use my laptop. I would normally sit at the desk, but I can't sit at the desk because I'm trying to sit at the windows so the light will face me. So I'm just sitting on the. There's a lot going on while I'm sitting on the floor, and my fucking tablet's dead. So you're going to have to talk to us this whole episode. So let's go, Mary Poppins.

[Jacob]

Okay, so the girls were entering the workroom.

[Monet]

Yeah, we have the six figures, which we already. We already talked about the entrance looks. If you guys want to see what we thought about the entrance looks, you guys got to go back to the Meet the Queens. We talked about all these entrance looks already, and they gave our very long winded thoughts and opinions about them. But at the top, Ru tells them that they're doing. It's going to be a writing performing challenge, which the other bracket did as well. So I'm assuming bracket three is also gonna do some type of writing performing challenge just to kick it off, which I think is a nice, strong way. I mean, I personally like starting with the design challenge, but I think a writing performing one is fun, too. What do you prefer?

[Bob]

I actually personally think that the starting off with the performance challenge is kind of whack, to be honest. It's kind of done, and I don't know, I feel like it's a good way for a couple of queens who can lip sync but can't do anything else to kind of just coast through for a couple episodes, which is probably a good idea. But if we're trying to weed out the girly pops who can't write and who can't get with the program, this is a good way to do it, to be honest.

[Monet]

Yeah. This is everyone's first All Stars, except for Silky. Who do you think is the biggest competition? Roberta?

[Bob]

Um. Crystal Method. Easy, easy, easy. And first of all, why keep acting like. Why did RuPaul keep trying to gaslight us into thinking this is Silky's third time? This is Silkie's fourth time doing Drag Race.

[Monet]

I mean, I think RuPaul's sending a very clear message that he doesn't count. He doesn't count.

[Bob]

Like, three times Three. Did you guys hear me say three? This is the third time she's only did it three. Like, girl, you. Are you trying to gaslight us. There's a whole Canada be the world that you're telling. Either you're telling us versus the world don't matter, or you're telling us Canada don't matter. Which one?

[Monet]

RuPaul. And I think RuPaul is being very loud and very clear. He's saying she's only done Drag Race three times. Meaning the ones that I adjudicated. Honey, Selena and Crystal are kikiing Honey and Selena, because I think Selena is also sizing Crystal, like Bob is sizing Crystal up as the biggest competition. And all the Latina girlies are getting together to have the Tres Leches alliance, which I think is actually very you.

[Bob]

I'm obsessed that it's the. The Watinas.

[Monet]

Well, there are no blatinas, Bob. Crazy.

[Bob]

That's the one, girls.

[Monet]

The watina.

[Bob]

Yeah. Trans. Le. All right, honey. The three milks,

[Monet]

they got scammed 2% and whole honey.

[Bob]

And I think we know which one is whole milk. Please tell us because of her whole.

[Monet]

Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, that's what that. Yeah, that's what we think about.

[Bob]

Who do you think I meant? Who do you think I was saying was Whole Milk?

[Monet]

You're so messy.

[Bob]

I want to hear what you thought I was saying.

[Monet]

Well, we all know what you. So I said 2%. I said skin 2% in whole.

[Bob]

And you're like, and which one is whole milk? First of all, all the girls at this point are slim, so there's no. There's no big bitches. So I want to know, who do you think is whole Milk? Let me. Let me pull my ear way out.

[Monet]

Anyway, let's move on.

[Jacob]

One of the things I didn't fully get with this challenge is how much of it was pre written and how much of it they wrote ahead of time.

[Monet]

They're all writing them ahead of time. Like, I was right when we talked about the first bracket. Morgan Mae Michaels got her verse written by someone else before she got to the show. Dawn.

[Bob]

Did she confirm that, or was that just your.

[Monet]

No, she confirmed it. She confirmed it on stage. She said it at Beach's Tropicana. Dawn Megami wrote Dawn's verse. Like, Megami also wrote.

[Bob]

Who wrote Morgan's verse?

[Monet]

Some black rapper guy.

[Jacob]

Some rapper.

[Monet]

Rapper. What's the name?

[Jacob]

My question was, like, they. They're choosing the songs they're doing, but, like. And it seems like the chorus is standardized and someone has written the chorus ahead of time, and then parts of the verses they're writing themselves. But I. Sometimes I couldn't tell, like, what was pre written chorus, and then what was actually them.

[Monet]

Wait, what do you mean with, like, the pre written chorus? Like, that's. That's. That's on the demo or like the girl. What are you talking about?

[Jacob]

Like, that's on the demo? Like, yeah, like, they would. They would do the verses, and then they would go into a chorus being like, she's the Megan to my sweetie. And, like, I don't think they wrote that. I think that was written ahead of time.

[Monet]

Yeah, I mean, I think the choruses were done before, and then the girls came in with their raps.

[Jacob]

Gotcha.

[Bob]

You know, back in my day. Back in my day, we had her right on the show. I mean, actually, on my season, we didn't do. We didn't do any writing. There was no. There was no music writing. Isn't that true? I just lied to you. We fully wrote. We fully wrote songs on my season.

[Monet]

Never mind. What did you write? Cause y' all didn't do. Y' all didn't do the realness. What did you write?

[Bob]

We did street meets. What's that smell? I got something to sell. We call it street meat. No need to yell all of mine.

[Monet]

In season 10, I didn't make it to the finales. I didn't do a verse. But In All Stars 4, we wrote it there. And in All Stars 7, we also wrote it there.

[Bob]

So you're telling me that you sat down in the room and wrote, and she's here to set the bar to raise her All Star. And mo ate you up when she wrote her verse? Honey, she's classy. Never asked she. And she uses lotion.

[Monet]

No, I will go down. I will firmly say without a shadow of a doubt, she is classy. Never ashy, only ballers in her VIP is the strongest lyric we have ever seen on Drag Race from any contestant ever on RuPaul Dragon.

[Bob]

First of all, that's crazy, because on that same season, we heard, she has long legs. She's a super queen.

[Monet]

All right, let's keep going. So RuPaul drops off the materials, or the girls get the materials, and they're dividing up who wants to do which songs. And we have a rapping song. We have an R and B, like, boy's mind song.

[Bob]

Can I say real quick before we go too far, I don't remember what I said about Sookie's look, but I think I like it again. Her interest look. I think I've circled back to liking it again.

[Monet]

Her entra. The. The blue. The blue thing.

[Bob]

The blue cowboy look. I think I've circled back to enjoying it all over again. And I don't know what happened, but I now like it again. Anyway, let's go back work.

[Monet]

And so, yeah, they're dividing their parts and Aura wants. And for the most part, they're being pretty, like, equitable. Everyone's, like, being, like, fair and, like, doing it nicely. But Aurra wants hoes to fall bros, which Krystal also wants, so there's, like, a little thing there. And so they're fine.

[Bob]

And.

[Monet]

And Silky wants the R and B song, but. And she's like. Silky's like standing tinsel. She's like, I'm doing this. This is what I'm gonna do. Like, y' all can fight for the other part, but I'm gonna be this song. But then Selena and April kind of, like, bum rush her off, and they're like, April's like, I wanna do Selena's eye. Like, I wanna do. So, like, we're gonna do it together. And Suki's like, wait, hold on. How did I get fucking taken off the song I wanna do?

[Bob]

Well, Suki said she's gonna say, tentos down. So now it's popping off. You know, I know.

[Monet]

I was shocked that she was so. That she just let them do that to her.

[Bob]

Well, it doesn't seem very silky because. Silky. Well, I mean, so, girl, if I was.

[Monet]

If I had to lip sync, I was ready that Silky just let that happen. That's crazy.

[Bob]

Well, you know what I think is happening, too, because I've been watching their interviews and stuff, and the girls are so subconscious about how they're perceived now. It's. It's like, crazy. And, you know, I was like. Or Mayuri is, like, now, like, so afraid of coming off as cringe because of what someone on. On a certain podcast said about her years ago.

[Monet]

Yeah, Bob Drag Queen.

[Bob]

That now she is, like. Now she's. You see this, like, much more muted version of herself when she's on the show, and she's like, well, I just want to be my. But maybe this is the true her. I don't know.

[Monet]

Yeah, I mean. I mean, I don't suffer from that. Every time I went on any TV show I've done, I just kind of do my thing and be myself for the good, bad and ugly, whatever that is. And so, yeah, I guess if you have a part. If there are parts of your personality that you perceive as ugly that you think that people at home will perceive as ugly, then you shield that. But I've never Suffered from that, have you?

[Bob]

No, not really. But back to Silky giving up her position, I was also very shocked. I was gagged. But maybe she felt outnumbered. I don't know.

[Monet]

Yeah. And well then. Well then. So Silky was like, okay. And then she's like, you know what? Because I am versatile and I can do whatever needs to be done, she's like, I'll hop on the rap verse with Vivacious. So we have Vivacious and Silky doing the rap song. April and Selena doing the R and B, like, boys mind type vibe. And Aura and Crystal doing the, like, pop girly song, which I didn't know that Aura was a singer. She said, I'm a singer. But. But then Selena was like, she's Filipino. I'm like, honestly, like, I want to say, like, 80 of my Filipino friends be singing down.

[Bob]

Yeah, Filipinos can sing. It is a stereotype that probably has some truth in it. The Filipinos can sing. Honey Mabuhay. Everyone except Manila.

[Monet]

Wow. Manila is a singer. That's crazy.

[Bob]

Manila sings, but I wouldn't call her a singer.

[Monet]

This is also a reminder, y', all, that I lifeylife being. Sorry, high heels. Bounty is done. But I have dates coming up this spring, which we. This fall, we already have San Francisco, and San Francisco is already popping off. So if you want to see me in San Francisco in August, you should go to one nations.com to get your tickets for my San Francisco dates, because they're almost sold out, which is very nice to hear. Back to the show. So they end the recording session. And the biggest thing here that happens is that Chris. What's her name, April. Carry on. Wanted this fucking R and B song. Talking about she can sing. And at first I was like, oh, you don't need to, like, really sing, baby. She can even match pitch.

[Bob]

Well, here's the thing. I think that maybe your level of singing is so high that you think everyone else is really bad. No, Also, you get nervous. Sometimes you get nervous. Sometimes you can. But, like, when the pressure's on, you can't. I have been in a situation. I can match pitch, but if everyone's looking at me and the time is not. Timing's not good. I might not be able to match pitch either.

[Monet]

Oh, wait. So I also. I also jumped. Jumped a little bit ahead. Sorry. I want to say before that when they're, like, working on their lyrics, Vivacious and silky, they seem to have a very good synergy. They're, like, helping each other finish each other's lyrics. And they seem to be working very well together, which is nice to be. Vivacious is.

[Bob]

Y'. All.

[Monet]

Vivacious is not coming here with any. Vivacious seems to be cool, calm, collective. She's like, I'm just here to do what I need to do. I'm not here for any drama. I'm just here to work and do my thing. She's also. How old is Vivacious? We said she's 58.

[Bob]

Girl. Vivacious is a woman of a certain age. Let's just say that when Vivacious was here 13 years ago, she'd been doing drag for 21 years. Vivacious. Now I've been doing drag for 33 years. There are girls in the room not even that old.

[Monet]

You and math.

[Bob]

Okay, one off. Kill me. Have me murdered everyone.

[Monet]

She's 52.

[Bob]

Here comes the brigade.

[Monet]

Yeah, she's 52 years old. So, yeah, Rachel is just a. She's.

[Bob]

Well, you open Brigades. How's your math?

[Monet]

No, I was.

[Bob]

Nigga.

[Monet]

Jesus Christ. I. Listen, don't be mad at me because you sitting on the floor trying to podcast with no damn headphones.

[Bob]

I don't like sitting on the floor. I feel grounded.

[Monet]

Keep going.

[Bob]

I'm so irritated right now. Keep going and get annoying. It is to spend all this fucking time and money building a studio and then have the podcast from your floor on the. Out of the hotel room on your cell phone.

[Monet]

Anyway, keep going, because I guess our season wasn't that far away, but I forgot that Aura won the girl group challenge on her season. And so I think those talents are going to come into it. Wait, Gary, for short, said, can we talk about April immediately telling Silky she didn't like her on her original season. Oh, yes.

[Bob]

I can't see the chat, though. You'll just have to clue me in.

[Monet]

Yeah, April just. Yeah, April just fell. Sookie. Like, yeah, I didn't really like you on the original season.

[Bob]

You know, I gotta say, there's something about April. Carry on. I don't know how she's gonna vibe how I'm gonna vibe with her this season. I know that April really has for years now pretty strongly said that she deserves that she believes she deserves to win All Stars. I think she's about to get a rude awakening when she doesn't even merge. You know what I mean?

[Monet]

Damn.

[Bob]

Well, you think she's gonna merge?

[Monet]

I don't know.

[Bob]

Based off what you see on this episode, do you think she's gonna merge?

[Monet]

If there's just a. I heard she's very funny, so possibly, yes.

[Bob]

Okay. Did she make you out this episode? She didn't make me laugh this episode. But then. But to be fair, I didn't finish the last 10 minutes, so maybe something really funny happened in the last 10 minutes. I didn't see.

[Monet]

Well, she just needs to be very blunt because she also says to Selena that. Well, she said she was not. She doesn't like Selena's music. Like, damn. What?

[Bob]

Why? Why? I don't. You know, I gotta be honest.

[Monet]

This would.

[Bob]

I would start fighting. Like, I don't have the ability to be. To be, like. Well, it seemed like they brushed it off better than I would have. I would not have had that same level of chill.

[Monet]

Tbh. Well, I think she was saying it as to why she wasn't, like, drawn to Selena to work with her. Cause she was like, I don't really like her music, which I didn't.

[Guest]

She say the opposite. That she was drawn because she knows Selena is musical and can sing, but she doesn't particularly like the music Selena makes, but she knows she can do it. But was that in the confessional? Not to Selena's face?

[Monet]

Yeah, it wasn't to Selena. It was in a confessional. Yes.

[Bob]

What is April bringing to the table? I think that Selena's bringing more to this challenge than April is.

[Monet]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jacob]

Yeah. April went home on a singing challenge.

[Monet]

Selena is. Is a recording artist, babe.

[Bob]

I know. So I'm just. And. And an actor who's been on. So I'm just shocked at her being like. I don't even like her music. What do you do? Where's your music, bro?

[Monet]

And then Selena has doubts about working with her because she doesn't sing. And I literally wrote down in my notes, because I wrote my notes obviously in order, and I said, but that's not what these are about. You have to be funny. It's not really about singing. And then they go to the recording session. I was like, okay, but they are singing. But there are you. I know every drag queen can't do anything. You have to. At least if you're gonna do the singing challenge, like, you just. Like you go get sewing lessons, you should at least have just one music thing to like, to figure out how to match pitch. Because at this point, a writing, rapping, singing thing is a part of every season of Drag Race. So I think that is also a skill that you need to polish on and be at least decent on to go into the show. Do you think?

[Bob]

So when it came out in the wash, it ended up sounding halfway. They tuned it and bip bop booped it, and it didn't sound insane. It didn't sound great, but it didn't sound insane. So do you really have to be able to sing? Do you? Because when it was all said and done, it sounded perfect. It sounded just fine. Yeah.

[Monet]

Yeah, go ahead. Perfectly fine. No, it sounded serviceable.

[Bob]

It sounded. Yeah, it sounded serviceable. I will agree. It sounded. When they hit it with the old vocal and Melodyne, it sounded fine.

[Monet]

I guess I'm like, at this day and age, do we need to have any talents? We can just fucking do anything.

[Bob]

Well, I also still think that what she wrote wasn't good, so.

[Monet]

Yeah, I agree. But we'll get into that Aura and wait right here. Yeah. Aura does a good job in recording. And Crystal is serviceable as well. I don't think Crystal is. Krystal is also not a vocalist, but Crystal can match pitch, which is helpful.

[Bob]

I feel like Selena, Aura, and Silky are the ones who can actually sing,

[Monet]

but Silky didn't sing. Silky rapped.

[Bob]

I know. I'm saying they're the ones who can actually sing of this whole group.

[Monet]

Yeah. Yeah. Silky killed. Vivacious is struggling a little bit, but that's okay. But also, you have to remember, y', all, Vivacious did not do anything like this her season like this. She didn't get to. I mean, I think season six was when we had the first. Like, that was that rapping challenge, right when Bianca, like, sassy ass mouth. It was like some type of, like,

[Bob]

vibrations made it that far.

[Monet]

I know, but I think.

[Bob]

See this girl walking down the dirty street Something. Something with my sturdy feet that was there and like a big girl walking

[Jacob]

down the sturdy streets A big girl

[Bob]

walking down the sturdy street.

[Monet]

That's funny. It's weird.

[Guest]

Vivacious talks with more inflection than she was rapping, though.

[Monet]

I would agree with that.

[Bob]

So monotone.

[Guest]

But then when she talks, she definitely has highs and lows.

[Monet]

But I think it's a. It's. It's. People don't. It's. People don't realize singing is just talking is just singing and. And vice versa. And also rapping. It's just like people get caught up in, oh, I'm rapping now, so I have to. Da, da, da. Just do it with the same cadence. Not the same, but a similar cadence that you would speaking.

[Bob]

So talking is rapping. Rapping is speaking. Speaking is singing. Singing is yodeling. We're all doing the same thing.

[Monet]

Um, Aura is. So to get to get back from the recording, and Aura is already pledging her point to Crystal before The challenge has started, which means she doesn't plan on winning.

[Bob]

Well, I mean, I feel like if Aura's looking at the. I mean, I don't know. Do this. I was saying about Morgan, like, about Morgan a couple weeks ago, like, sometimes, you know you're not going to make it there, but you want. But you can. You can decide who's going to. Who's going to represent you in the tournament of champions. You know what I mean?

[Monet]

Yeah, but pledging, I mean, but Ara, she's confident about herself. So I think pledging your point to someone before the challenges even got so, like, it's crazy. Like, don't. Don't write a check that your ass can't cash it. Like, calm. Like, she didn't have to say that. Maybe she said it because she thought that Crystal would do it for her because they're in the same group. But Crystal was like, thank you.

[Bob]

Kips is like. And I deserve it, too.

[Monet]

I was like, that's crazy. And Selena is taking a page out of the Monet Shane Survivor All Stars experience and starting alliance with everyone. She starts the Punani Pecpe alliance with Aura. She has the tres leches alliance. Skim 2% and whole. And Selena is like. So she has alliances with literally everyone except Vivacious, which there could have been something there.

[Bob]

The kooky. The kooky Nutty girls. Vivacious is kooky and nutty, and you know it.

[Monet]

And Selena's kooky and nutty.

[Bob]

Well, I mean, cuckoo. I don't know. I'm trying to make something work here.

[Monet]

Punani Pek Peck. I kind of like that.

[Bob]

Crystal. Crystal Vi are truly the nutty girls, for sure.

[Monet]

Punai Pekpek. I like that name. Work, I do. Okay, shall we get into the challenge?

[Bob]

Let's do it. Okay. I'm gonna try to read these lyrics. Okay. I won't be able to because my face is taking up my own spot on the screen. So I can't actually. I'm like. But I will start by saying I fucking love this look RuPaul's wearing. It makes her waist look so tiny. It looks so, like, dangerous and edgy. I just. I just fucking. I love this look. She looks great to me.

[Monet]

Yeah. I think RuPaul looks amazing. She looks simply the best.

[Bob]

I feel like Michelle's low key wearing a dress from Primark.

[Monet]

That's crazy. Primark is crazy. You know, she basically. All right.

[Bob]

Vivacious. S I l k y Ms. Silky Sister is fierce. My sister is milky. She be turning up on she be turning it at you just can't take it. Turning out the men and no move faking it. You want to take over Silky part.

[Monet]

Yeah. Better than collard greens and cornbread. The fans go crazy over mother's head. Legend, icon my mini me sweet tea gets sour. If you're talking about me, I'm from

[Bob]

Jamaica known for jerk chicken,

[Monet]

Mississippi girl and a finger licky haters gonna hate. We gonna be on top.

[Bob]

Treat him like Instagram profile block. Can y' all acknowledge that was a pretty good Vivacious? That was really good.

[Monet]

That was good. That was good.

[Bob]

And you know the thing, Monet, I've been following your career and I'm very impressed with you and what you've been doing.

[Monet]

That's pretty good, Bob. Finally, finally a good, a good Jamaican accent. But hers is a very specific accent though.

[Bob]

Oh. Vivacious has a very by way of New York City and years in the suburbs. No, years in Harlem. Yeah.

[Monet]

I think honestly Silky turned it out for me. I think Silky killed it watching her do it. This is also she. This is her promo look. Is this a promo look she's wearing?

[Bob]

Oh, I guess.

[Jacob]

I think so because they filmed the promos after and she, she notoriously had a problem with her. Oh, no, I see what you're saying. Yes, this is because her. The promo look she wanted didn't come in time so she had to wear this backup costume.

[Monet]

Yeah, yeah. I think that Silky was really good. I think Silky was a standout. I think her energy was great. I think her performance of it was really good. I like her lyrics a lot, actually. Specifically better than collard greens and cornbread. The fans go crazy over mother's head and the sweet tea gets sour. If you're talking about me, I think is a really good. Is a really good line. And I like Silky's performance. I think Vivacious was a little stiff though.

[Bob]

Well, I think Vivacious is a woman of a certain age. I think that they were a great pairing together. I like how they bounce back and forth off of each other. Silky is obviously probably going to be a lot more energetic than Vivacious. She's about to 20 years younger than Vivacious is. So I mean, you know, given that. But I also love that Vivacious kept true to herself. I do think Silky was a standout for this, but I actually think they both did a pretty good job, to be honest.

[Monet]

I think Vivacious looks really cool. I love that she has a sensible heel, but she's incorporated into all this one like thing, I think.

[Bob]

Okay. To be Fair. Suki's heel is just as sensible, as vivacious as this. Okay, this is true.

[Monet]

But Suki always wears a sensible heel, bitch. And so, yeah, I think that. I think that they look really good as a team. And actually, I really enjoy this group minus, you know, vivacious, not being as big and as energetic. But. And listen, we cannot grade vivacious on the curve because she's 52 years old. Like, we. Like, she gets the same critique. So I would like bigger energy. I would like her to move a little more and give us a little more rakakao.

[Bob]

But that being said, but we always drag. We always grade Drag race on the curve. These girls be winning Snatch Game because they're funnier than we expected them to be. This, like, drag race is greater than the curve always and forever. So, like, why can't we grade vibrations on the curve?

[Monet]

Okay, maybe not. Maybe we can. A little bit. A little bit.

[Bob]

You know, I wouldn't go on. Thanks. Unless you're.

[Monet]

Unless you got some more to say about this one. No, no, no. I've said all I have to say.

[Bob]

Okay, let's start with these looks. How do you go about these looks?

[Monet]

I love Selena's look. I think Selena's looks really good. April, what the fuck is she wearing? She looks like she got caught, and she looked like. She looked like her. She was in. Was in the dryer, and then she jumped in the dryer to get it and got caught in the dryer and she stepped out.

[Bob]

It looks like a reveal, but then that was the look.

[Monet]

Yeah, that look is crazy. I'm like, what? It does. It's not good. But Selena looks good. She looks like. Oh, she looks great.

[Bob]

April said, I'm gonna try to sing it.

[Monet]

No, this was the talking part. This is the talking part.

[Bob]

Well, I want to sing the whole thing, though.

[Monet]

Okay.

[Bob]

I heard y' all get around like a taxi with that. With that face.

[Monet]

You.

[Bob]

With that face. You can only do it, doggy. Because of your. Because of you. Because of you What? Because of you, I got an std.

[Monet]

Carry on, pack it up, Find a new man. Cause you can't keep him home at night. You can't milk him. Make me giggle like I can. Make him giggle like I can.

[Bob]

I keep him fed. I can't. I keep him fed. I keep him fed. I'm always glazed like a donut.

[Monet]

Got him screaming at cities when I get him on his knee. Wait, Jacob, is this right?

[Jacob]

Think so. I mean, there's no official lyrics. I. This is. I was copying down the subtitles from the episode. So some of it is hard. There's no official. So, yes, take these with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure this is what these.

[Bob]

What are you questioning, Monet? What are you questioning?

[Monet]

I thought they. Maybe we didn't. Did you get the. Because they had, like, a talking bit at the top, and I. But I. I think this is. Jacob's starting.

[Jacob]

That was the other. That's where I was like this. It's sometimes hard to be like, what did they actually write?

[Monet]

Right.

[Jacob]

And what was. Like, what was in the track ahead of time? So that's also one of the challenges. Like, I don't. There's a chorus. I don't know if they wrote the lyrics of the chorus or not.

[Monet]

Okay.

[Guest]

Yeah,

[Monet]

sorry. So I got him screaming at cities When I get him on his knees

[Bob]

Damn money, I haven't chilled reading no more K stupid K. Estupida Find your own man. That's my poppy.

[Monet]

It's escupida. But his hands are on my body. Cause he wants my coochie me escuchi.

[Bob]

If they wrote this before they got there, I'm screaming because this is ass.

[Monet]

Well, I don't know.

[Bob]

Is that horrible to say?

[Monet]

I think.

[Bob]

I'm just saying if. I'm just saying if this was written before they got there, you need your money back. Because this is crazy.

[Jacob]

This was not written before they got there.

[Bob]

Yeah, I think. I'm glad to hear it.

[Monet]

But I was saying, like, last week, like, some. The. A rapper did. Mo Morgans Begami wrote for dawn and Morphine. Morphine ended up not using it. She did something. She. I guess Morphine had multiple writers.

[Guest]

April's first two lines are good. I heard you get around like a taxi.

[Jacob]

Selena wrote those.

[Guest]

Oh, well, those are good lines.

[Monet]

Oh, wait. So Selena.

[Bob]

I think they're that great.

[Jacob]

I don't know if Selena wrote all of her stuff. I do know specifically. I went to Selena's viewing party last night. She was talking about it, and it came up, and she specifically said she wrote those two lines.

[Bob]

Okay. The lines that I do like are, I heard you get around like a taxi. With a face like that, you can only do a doggy. That actually is pretty clever. Yeah.

[Guest]

That's the only good part.

[Monet]

Yeah. I think that in these two, I think Selena was better than April. I think Selena outshine her. But Selena is a. Is a. Like a. A performance. Selena does her own music a lot, so that makes sense. I don't know if April Carry on performs like her own Stuff and like in that way and. And not just lip sync. So. I think Selena was stronger than April. Carry on. And I do like Selena's look more than April.

[Bob]

Yeah, but. Yes, but I don't think that it's good enough to give her a top placement this week. But I do. But I do think out of this group she is better. Yes.

[Monet]

Yeah, I agree. I agree. No, wait, Laura. Laura Slater's 8 said. I like the little intro dialogue. I did too. I think the intro dialogue was cute. And I like. It really sold the fantasy that it was the boy's mind and I really got that.

[Bob]

Laura. Maori.

[Monet]

No, no, no.

[Bob]

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

[Monet]

So let's go on to Aura Mayari and. And Crystal Method. I think they were the best group hands down. Actually. No, I'll get there. I actually think Vivacious and Silky were my best. One of my favorite group. But I agree. But these two were really strong. They had. They had a lot of good energy.

[Bob]

I don't know the. I don't know the jaws or. I know the jaws are going to be stuck on the floor when I walk in. They're stalking, crawling. Ew, sister, is that your ex?

[Monet]

I've had enough of dirty misters giving me blisters.

[Bob]

You better be. You better get that check, sis. Chorus. When the bros think they the shit. I don't remember. I don't remember how it goes. When the bros think they the shit. Have I've seen your sick. I've seen your sick and it ain't. And it ain't that thick. I'm sorry. I think it's so close to read this. Have you seen my thighs and cheeks? Don't touch. I'll break you. I'll break you. Freaks.

[Monet]

Do I look like a booty call? I'm tired of men. Get rid of them all. Big balls, nice and tall. Boy, I don't care. Let's go to the mall.

[Bob]

Ooh, you broke ass trashy bitches. Please don't call me crying.

[Monet]

I blocked your number. You're cheating and lying.

[Bob]

I'm. I'm done with trying.

[Monet]

Is that it?

[Bob]

Yes. Yeah.

[Monet]

Yeah. I think this group they had. They were like an explosion of energy and there were just so many moving parts and they were like on moving set pieces and they were like up. And Crystal looks stunning with this hair. I love this hair on her. I loved her outfit. Ora's outfit left a little bit to desire. Like even in this green grab right here, Ora looked like she is a Karen at her job, telling everyone what to do. And Crystal just looks like a cool chick from little mix or something like that. Like, I think there.

[Bob]

I feel like that's kind of like. Because Might partly be because of this. These vests, they. They decide to put on to match, obviously, but. But then, like Crystals, because she has more going on down below, it's gonna look like she's got more happening. You know what I mean? Like. Like in the beginning part, Aura's whole outfit is covered up by the vest, basically.

[Monet]

Yeah. I'm just saying. But she looks like. Especially with this wig. This wig. She like a camera with this wig on. But Crystal is cool. Like, Crystal looks like she could literally be part of the Little Mix. Like, she looks like a cool.

[Bob]

I would say Crystal does look. Crystal in general has a very cool look, just almost across the board. She always looks super unique, super interesting. Kind of like. Like. Like I was saying about dawn last bracket, there's not really anyone doing what Crystal's doing. She's super duper unique, and I really love that for her.

[Monet]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Yeah. That being said, I still think that that Silky and. And. And Vivacious were the best. Were the best group altogether.

[Monet]

Yeah, I agree. I think Silky and Vivian by Vicious Killed. They were my favorite. I loved their lyrics. I loved. They're performing together. They were my favorite group.

[Bob]

Which means I'm gonna put dead last is gonna be Selena. The. The. The the the the the. The. The 1 2/3 of trey slays.

[Monet]

Yeah, I agree. I think they were. If we stacking them up. It's Vivacious, Silky aura and Crystal, Selena and April. Should we get into these looks? Let's get into the lyrics. This was a gag.

[Bob]

Is so.

[Jacob]

Can you say the name of the queen?

[Monet]

Sorry.

[Bob]

This is Vivacious. Vivacious looks so amazing in this look. This is amazing. This is so Club Kitty. This is where Grace Jones meets Club Kid. Her Jamaican sister Grace Jones. Like, this look is so epic. This solidifies why Vivacious is. That girl is truly a club kid and has probably visually inspired more people than we even know. This look is epic. Yeah.

[Monet]

I thought this was incredible. When she turned the corner, I was shocked that Vivacia was giving this. I didn't think Vivexia was gonna serve this on All Stars. I think so. It was really clever. If anyone has seen Cats, the Jellicoe ball is giving. What's Andre Shields playing?

[Bob]

He plays Deuteronomy.

[Monet]

Yeah, she's giving old Deuteronomy, but in the best way. The best way. She looks like she is a grandam she's the mistress of ceremonies. Like, she is the last thing you see, like, when you're entering the pearly gates of heaven. She looks divine. I do agree with Michelle, though. The lips. You know me. I've said this over and over. Everyone needs to line their lips, especially black girls. When black people wear, like, light clothes of that, you have to line your lips. If she went with, like, a chestnut or a dark brown to, like, line her lips, this would have been a 10 out of 10. But because of that, it's. It's. It's the lips take me to, like, a 9 or, like an 8.5.

[Bob]

It's more club Kitty that she didn't line her lips. And I'm kind of into it. I just think she looks fantastic.

[Monet]

Anytime I see a black girl wearing, like, a light color, like a blankety or this, and they don't line it, I'm like, you look like Ashley Larry from. From the Dave Chappelle Show.

[Bob]

Ashy and bright pink. I mean, what color is that? Like, anyway? That's not the point. Her. I mean, I could tell that the outfit was a bit cumbersome, but besides that, it looks amazing. The way she was walking in, it

[Jacob]

was a bit cloudy, bright pink.

[Monet]

Bright pink.

[Bob]

Well, not bright pink. It's like a yellow. What color is that?

[Monet]

It's green.

[Jacob]

Yellow. The Runway theme is butter yellow.

[Bob]

So why. So why would. Why would she be ashy in yellow?

[Monet]

Because her lip looks ashy. It looks like an ashy lip.

[Bob]

Like, when you go ashy, you turn yellow.

[Monet]

I'm just saying it gives that, like, it gives, like, just like a bright color. Whether it's white. I mean, it's a very pale yellow, like, because this easily goes white.

[Bob]

Oh, okay. But like I said, her. My only critique, that her walk was a big conversum. That's it.

[Monet]

Yeah. Yeah. It was just great. Kudos to Vivicious. She's killing it now. I'm excited to see what more she's going to do this season, actually on the runways.

[Bob]

Right?

[Monet]

Yeah. Gary for short said, I love that this wasn't a reveal. I agree. She just came out and was just doing her thing. Um, let's go on to silk. Silk with the big milk.

[Bob]

I hate this. I can't stand it. I don't like the big butter thing. I don't like this. I. I hate this. I really. This really upsets me on a lot of levels.

[Monet]

You know, I'm here for the big, crazy, campy, over the top drag, and I do like this. I Think there were some things that could have been better. Like her having to hold his headpiece up the whole time was crazy. I was like, silky. For real. Like you like. I think, bitch, this is why you always. We were to. Bob and I were talking about always having an emergency kitty cat in your purse. When you put that damn thing on and you saw that it wasn't staying on, you put a kitty cat under that fucking thing. And then you take that headpiece off. Like it's part of the reveal. Cause her holding it up and it flopping around her hands the whole time looked crazy. But I do like this over the top reveal. I love the catsuit actually under it. I think it's really cool. But the holding of the headpiece was so crunchy.

[Bob]

But it is very silky to be holding up your headpiece the whole time. You like this catsuit? I think it's cool.

[Monet]

I think it's. I think it's.

[Bob]

Can you zoom in under her. Under her left knee?

[Monet]

Jacob, she's doing, like, melted butter.

[Bob]

No. Under her left knee.

[Guest]

But the reveal. What is it? Like she's a blob of butter.

[Monet]

Like, she's a bigger butter that's melting on her.

[Bob]

On her body. Butter is melting on her. Butter has melted on top of her. I don't like it. I don't like it. The thing is just a big chunk of butter. Like, I would never know that that big thing was butter if she had not told us it was like that. Doesn't. The thing on her head looks like butter? That big blob does not look like butter. Is that. Oh. Oh, this is like a little bit of shadowing under her knee. That little dark spot under her knee.

[Monet]

Yeah. I think it's just the shadowing on the. On the cast.

[Bob]

That's a weird way to put the shadow. All right. Yeah. I don't love this look. I do not love this look. Gotta be honest.

[Monet]

I like it.

[Bob]

You have anything else to say about it?

[Monet]

No, I liked it. I just hated the whole horrible thing last. I guess Jacob has decided we're moving on. Let's go on to April. Carry on. Who's doing a cultural moment for Puerto Rico. I forgot what she said it was called. Do you remember what she said?

[Bob]

I do not know.

[Monet]

Yeah. So I guess the only thing here is just the color of it. Like, she's. Her vibration is just. They just did the butter yellow for the color, and I think this is good. I mean, April Carrion obviously has a beautiful body, but bitch, it's giving me

[Bob]

I don't think her body is looking great in this. I don't think the proportions for this are right for what her body's giving. I mean, yes, sure, everyone has a beautiful body. I'm not here to comment on whether or not her body is beautiful. What I'm here to comment on is that I don't think it works objectively with this outfit.

[Monet]

Yeah, it's giving, man. I think that we should have thought about a different silhouette from the hips down, because something's going on.

[Bob]

Yeah. Bodies, they don't think much about what. How to make it work in drag, to be honest.

[Monet]

That's what I was gonna say. I was like, just because you have come gutters and you have abs and things, this is me. Like, bitch, give us something. Like, you can't just throw things on just because you have. You think you have a sexy body. I mean, have you seen that clip, though, of that girl in the UK that RuPaul was shocked. She was. He's like, how do you hide the corset? She's like, I'm not wearing a corset. And RuPaul was just gagged. Have you seen this?

[Bob]

No, I'm not saying it.

[Monet]

Yeah, I guess. I guess she can get away with it. I'm not watching the season. I just saw the little clip. I don't know, but RuPaul is gagged by this girl and her body, and she's like.

[Bob]

She wearing hip pads and no corset?

[Monet]

Or just.

[Bob]

Or just nothing.

[Monet]

I don't know. I just saw RuPaul react. I didn't get to see her full outfit, to be honest. They just sold her reaction. Laughing. Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob]

I have another thoughts on this. I don't really care for this, to be honest. I don't think. I don't think she looks great.

[Jacob]

Yeah.

[Monet]

Let's go on to the next queen.

[Bob]

Selena looks amazing. This look is so good. You said divine.

[Monet]

Divine, like, amazing.

[Bob]

She looks so good. Only thing is which, there's nothing she could help with this. Her head just looks so tiny. I wish her head looked bigger, but that's. But you can't help the size of your head.

[Monet]

I think this is the best Selena has ever looked on RuPaul's Drag Race. She looks absolutely incredible. She looks like the rich mother of the house. This hair is dope. This color and the silhouette, this titty bib. She. This is the best Selena has ever looked, I think, in drag. Like, I think she looks amazing. She looks stunning. And this was a. This was a little nod to her mother. Her mother, who passed away from cancer.

[Bob]

And it was.

[Monet]

Her mother loved tulips. So she's, like, doing this. This beautiful look. She looks amazing. I'm so proud of Selena. She looks amazing. Amazing, amazing, amazing. So stunning.

[Bob]

So far, she's looked good every single time she stepped this whole episode. Every time she steps on the stage, she looks good every single time.

[Monet]

Yeah.

[Bob]

And. Which is a big, great story arc for Selena.

[Monet]

I agree. And you realize the entire episode, she wore this similar colors. She had the golden boot. Her challenge look was this yellow, and now this is this, like, this butter yellow for her thing. So she has this, like, full color story for this entire episode, which I think is she obviously. Thank you, Bob. Thank you. Thank you.

[Bob]

Well, you make it sound like she's like, She's a mastermind.

[Monet]

No, but it's like you. I love when stuff like that works. I love when stuff like that, like, works out for you on Drag Race, how the stars line up and you get this, like, beautiful little, little, little, little story. More phone for yourself. I think she looks incredible. I'm so proud of her. She looks amazing. Super.

[Bob]

Yeah, she looks good.

[Monet]

Tamaroo said the comments around Silky from Jam Assuming have been straight insults. Ooh, the comments around. What did Jay say? Something mean.

[Bob]

Wait, what? What? Can you read the comment again, Monet?

[Monet]

Tamaru said, I can tell you what we said, Monet.

[Bob]

Read it, Mon.

[Monet]

The comments around Silky from Jay, I'm assuming have been straight insult and is rude and disrespectful.

[Bob]

What is that? So.

[Guest]

So because Bob said silky holding up the butter is very silky. And someone in the comments said, oh, yeah, it's very silky. And I made a comment. I'm like, it's wild that every time Silky does something really crunchy. Oh, it's very silky. Oh, it's very silky. And I said, I think she's a bad drag queen and that she's crunchy and that she's. And I think that people make excuses for silky all the time. Oh, it's just silky. And so then this person is defending people.

[Bob]

Do so, for example, when you go into a performance and you don't really do a good job on Drag Race, and then you kind of wear an ugly dress, and the judges don't care. It's very Alyssa. It is Alyssa. To go in there, not really understand the challenge, do a bad job, but then have the judges be like, girl, you ate down. And then have you in, like, a really ugly dress and be like, we don't even care. You ate. That is very Alyssa. So, like, there are things that are just very certain people. Sometimes he'll be doing old stuff. A little crunch, crunch. She said herself, crunch, crunch much, much.

[Monet]

She did tell us that. That is good.

[Bob]

Any more comments? You want to read this for a fight, Monet, or can we go on to Crystal Methods look?

[Monet]

Yeah, let's go into Crystal Methodist. Look. All right, here we go.

[Bob]

I'm sorry. Or Mayor, I didn't realize where my order is yet. What's next again?

[Monet]

This looked great. She looks, looks insanely good.

[Bob]

Yeah, she looks, she looks really stunning. I do wish her hair was maybe a little bit bigger. I. I think you might be on to something about her hair being a little pedestrian versus her clothing. Like, this outfit is so immaculate and the hair is a little underdone. It's not under, but it's like compared to this beautiful garment. But that being said, she looks really, really good. I really like this look. I really love her with the parasol. The dress is really stunning. I love this high slit with it. Or it's not even a slit. It's like a high, low, I guess, or maybe it is a slit. Is it considered a split when it's that wide? I don't, I don't, I don't.

[Monet]

I don't think that's a slit. No, I think it's just like a structural draping thing. I don't think. I wouldn't call it a split, but

[Bob]

it looks really good though. She looks really stunning.

[Monet]

Yeah. I think Ara looks absolutely incredible. Dare I say this is the best she's ever looked on Drag Race. I think this looks so good. Her makeup is so snatched like, like the still we have of her. It's like I'm like drawing. I'm like drawn into how fucking stunning she looks. And I do like the hair. I do think the hair could have been a bit bigger for this. Bigger.

[Bob]

But it was.

[Monet]

The thing is that her hair was big back here. It was like this low back bun. But I think had she had something that was a little up, maybe it could have been more impressive. But I think Ora looks absolutely stunning here. She looks, she looks amazing.

[Bob]

Yeah, I think that I actually, I wouldn't go as far as the best you ever look. I think Rmy has pretty much consistently looked good every time she's been on Drag Race. Actually. I don't think I've ever seen or Mary look bad. No, I, I'm thinking hard about it. There's probably something I'm forgetting about. That. But again, I love her intro. Look, you didn't like it. You thought it was too. What did you call it? Cumbersome. I thought it looked really nice, though, so.

[Monet]

Well, that makes me nice.

[Bob]

Now we're on the Crystal Method.

[Monet]

Cristal Method. I love this bitch. She's so smart and so cool. And the thing. I don't think anyone else would have thought to do this besides fucking Crystal Method. This is such a cool take on To Make It Fashion, but also playing to exactly what the brief is, which was you butta believe it. Whatever the fucking prompt was. This was so dope.

[Bob]

Go ahead. But here's the thing. I think someone else. I think. I think that Crystal Method and Silky Nutmeg Ganache had the same idea. It's just that Crystal Method had a much better execution. Like, Crystal was obviously always so good.

[Monet]

Do what? That's what I'm saying. Like her.

[Bob]

Her.

[Monet]

Like, no one could execute it like her. Like, no one. Like, even just having this, like, this. This vinyl poncho to give the thing of having this, like, butter thing. Like, that's so uniquely her.

[Bob]

No, I agree. I thought you meant, like, no one would think to be butter. Like someone thought to be butter. But what I think is bad news for Silky, that someone had the same idea on the same episode and just executed it so much better than she did. Crystal does look absolutely amazing.

[Monet]

Yeah, I agree. And. But here's a little. Just. This is a. This is stunning. There's a little tip for the girlies who wear the contacts. Babes, everyone has some Lumify in your drag bag. Pass on Lumify, because I just want to just take a little Lumify and drop in her eyes. So these are red. Her eyes are so red because they're popping drag for so long. We're in these contacts. Her eyes are so red. It, like, it takes me out of the fantasy. Not takes me out, but it's just a little thing. Girl, get you some.

[Bob]

Maybe she's high.

[Monet]

Maybe she's what?

[Bob]

High.

[Monet]

She's not high. Well, she does smoke, but I don't think she's high.

[Bob]

Why do you think she's not high?

[Monet]

Because even if you are high, just Lumify will soon make your eyes white.

[Bob]

I'm just saying maybe she's high is all I'm saying. All right, I have not seen anything after this point. This is where my Internet started fighting me. And I need your help on the following parts. Full disclosure.

[Monet]

I mean, we're just getting onto the JoJo critiques. And they were basically. They echoed a lot of what we've said already, that Silky and Vivacious were fun. They felt a lack of energy from Vivacious that they wanted her to like, basically enjoy it a bit more. Which I agree. I think Vivacious did lack a little energy. But they were still my favorite group. I don't care that Vivacious energy was lacking a little bit. They were still my favorite group. Sorry about it.

[Bob]

I mean, I agree they were my favorite group. I was not as affected by Vivacious Energy as everyone else was, apparently. I thought she did a really good job. Yeah.

[Monet]

And for Selena in April, I think similar to the song the Boy Is Mine, which is why the song the Boy Is Mine does not a great lipstick. They did the once on Drag Race. It wasn't great. Bob and I both know when we do this thing in New York called Drag Suicide, having a people would like to end. Sometimes DJs will try to end the suicide. Which when you put a bunch of songs together and then the girls lip sync to it. If it's a duo show, they would try to end this drag suicide with the boys mind. And it's so ineffective because that song lacks a real climax. It just kind of stays here the whole time. It's not. Which I think what happened to April and Selena. The song is just. It was not a very exciting song. It was boring.

[Bob]

Okay, those are the judges for the judges there.

[Monet]

No, I mean, I don't really. I don't really, like, know exactly what the judges say. I kind of like, listen.

[Jacob]

The judges loved it. The judges gave nothing but great compliments to both of them. They thought it was great. They killed it. The judge's head. No negative critiques for either of them.

[Bob]

Got it.

[Monet]

But they love Crystal and Aura. They thought that Crystal and Aura. They were really impressed by Aura's vocal prowess, which I'm like, aura can absolutely sing. But how you gonna say that with. On the same thing where they made fucking April Carry on sound good? You know what I mean? It's like

[Bob]

maybe they're acknowledging that Aura sounded good before they tapped into her terrible vocals.

[Monet]

You mean Chris April's terrible vocals, not Aura's terrible vocals?

[Bob]

Yeah, yeah. No, before April. Maybe what I'm saying is maybe they're acknowledging that Aura sounded good before they tapped into her vocals as opposed to April Carry On.

[Monet]

Yeah, but they love them. They were the standouts. They loved how Aura and Crystal performed together, and they end up winning. Aura and Crystal win as a group.

[Bob]

Can I give my hot take real quick?

[Monet]

What?

[Bob]

I don't think that being bad at singing, rapping or dancing should really be a detriment on Drag Race. Like, I think that being a bad lyricist or being a bad dancer, I think that that production should help you around that more so than like sewing or comedy. I feel like comedy and sewing and like Runway walking are like a like quintessential drag race when it comes to singing, dancing and rapping. I really think that production should do their best to even the playing field.

[Monet]

Then I think then I can't. Yes. To Enevieve Perry 2872. You absolutely can. Who the fuck told you that? Genevieve said you can't use Lumify with contacts. I literally do it every time I'm in Dragon. I disagree.

[Bob]

How many want to fight?

[Monet]

I disagree. Then, like, where's the line? Like, if production. Then they should help you with sewing too. Like the production doesn't. I mean, yes, they can decide what skills to help you out with and more, but then where's the line? I feel like, I think that to be a good drag queen, we know what that is. To be on Drag Race, you have to be decent at all these things, and that just is what it is. And I think if production is going to help you on music rapping and singing ones and they should help you on sewing ones and help you on comedy ones, get you help. Have some writers.

[Bob]

If you're asking where the line is, for me, the line of that, singing, dancing, rapping, that is where the line is. Because I feel. Because they. Because like, for example, they're writing these scripts. The scripts are written before you get there. You don't have to write your own scripts, you have to perform them. You'd have to write your own scripts that I'm making. There are. There are challenges where you have to write on Drag Race, but a lot of times they will write things for you before you get there.

[Monet]

And I also think that they're not, you know, you're not. You're not going to the studio with an engineer figuring out the track. You have the track already. You just write, adding lyrics to it. Like the acting one. They're not going to act for you. Yes, the script is done, but you have to find your motivation, what you're trying to say, your point of view. Like all those things are.

[Bob]

So I also think, because it is emblem. Embolic. Embolic is a reflection of the real world. Emblem.

[Monet]

Emblematic.

[Bob]

Emblematic. There we go. Because it's emblematic of the real world. If you go in the studio and you sound off. Even if you're a good singer, they're gonna fix it. If you can't dance, they're gonna fix it up. When Nicki Minaj can't dance and they put people. Mariah Carey can't dance, they put people around her to make it look better. So I think it's emblematic of the real world.

[Monet]

Mariah. And these girls are not competing. They've already done everything. They're not competing. This is a competition, Mar. Mariah is not competing with anyone. Nicki's not competing. She's just. She's doing her thing. And this is the competition.

[Guest]

But it's not a singing competition.

[Monet]

Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. But it's also not a sewing competition. It's not a competition.

[Guest]

But it is partly a sewing competition, and it is partly because drag queens by nature are not going on stage, performing and singing live.

[Monet]

Right, but you are. That's not true. Then you've never been to the uk. In the uk, these bitches in America, they're all doing their live music.

[Jacob]

I agree with talent competition, and we want to see what different talents, different queens have and to see the scope and range of their different talents. So it's not about, like, yeah, it's not a sing competition, but we want to see if a queen is a great singer, that's a gag. And if she's not a good constructioner, that's fine. But also if she is a good singer and a good designer, that's a double gag.

[Bob]

And then that's the winner, 100%.

[Guest]

But I agree with Bobby.

[Bob]

But I feel like I would rather. I'm much more interested in seeing, I guess, because I want to see. I'm much more interested in seeing someone like Ahora make a really beautiful gown than listen to Jan sing really well. And also I think it's because I don't really care about the music they're singing on Drag Race. I think that's what it boils down to. I care about the outfits they're making. I don't care to hear Jan sing this poop parody really, really well. Because they're not gonna be doing the kind of music I want to hear anyway. So I think if I'm actually breaking it down, that's probably what it is. They're making the kind of outfits I want to see. They're not singing the kind of songs I want to hear.

[Monet]

Yeah. Tamaroo said they aren't being judged on their singing ability, but their ability to entertain while Creating a song. Yeah. So I think different shows, different strokes with different folks. Yeah.

[Bob]

So go to American Idol if you want to hear that stuff, then go

[Monet]

on Project Runway if you want to see good outfits.

[Bob]

And I did. Go watch it.

[Guest]

I mean, they're also putting these queens in these particular brackets. Right. So if you know you have a singing challenge and you know that April can't sing, you put her in this bracket to fail if you're going to hold it against April.

[Monet]

But that's not true, because every bracket is singing.

[Guest]

That's not true.

[Monet]

What?

[Guest]

Not every. Not every bracket is gonna have all the same challenges.

[Monet]

April chose to sing. April could have chose to. April knows she can't sing. She could have chose to rap, and that spot was open. She chose to sing. No one. She can't sing.

[Bob]

Are you gonna bully April carry on for this whole break or just one episode anyway?

[Monet]

But, Jason, doesn't make sense, because April chose to sing. She could have rapped with Vivacious. That part was fully open for her. She was like, I want Maggie's kid. Like, I wanna sing when she can't fucking sing.

[Bob]

She had a song, Monet. She had a song in her heart. Okay. She had a song in her heart.

[Monet]

Which, which, which, which, which. This might piss Jay off, but that's a talent to Silky. Silky can rap, and she can sing. She could. Like, I will sing, but you know what? Y' all don't want me to sing, so I'll rap. And she did a good job.

[Jacob]

He never talked about the puppet.

[Bob]

I thought so. Monet, catch me up on the rest

[Monet]

of the episode that I did not see.

[Bob]

Help me out here.

[Monet]

What happened?

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Monet]

So Silky, Silky Aura and Crystal and Crystal do the lip sync, and, you know, they.

[Bob]

This is a song.

[Monet]

Has this song been done Drag Race before? Enough Is Enough.

[Bob]

I love that song. Enough Is Enough is enough. Girl, I can't go up. I can't.

[Monet]

Would die to sing this song on Drag Race, and I'm sorry. These girls. Woof. I thought it was a bad lipstick. They were wagged. They were raggedy now.

[Bob]

I wish I could have seen it.

[Jacob]

Crystal or Aura was doing, like, the pretty typical drag queen stuff. Crystal's look had a third, like, leg, like, a plush, stuffed leg hanging off

[Monet]

the fake arm as well, so.

[Jacob]

And a fake arm. So she was doing a lot of moves where she would, like, bring this, like, the fake leg up into a high kick, and it, like, involved this fake leg, and it was, like, a little bit more camp. And then Ora was doing, like, Straight up, like classic disco dancing. Shablam splits, the Ora Maillard experience.

[Monet]

It was a mess. It was not a good lip sync for one of the most iconic. If anyone has been to a drag bar with two fucking drag queens having to do a closing number, they have fucking seen this song, and I think it's a drag lip sync staple. And these bitches were raggedy bonk.

[Bob]

Now, we've seen instances where a drag lip sync staple goes to queens who don't do it justice. On my season, Layla McQueen and Dax got sent home on a double shantae to lat's dance. It happens, you know?

[Monet]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bob]

I mean, a double chache, not double chante. A double chache to last dance. So sometimes the classics land on a bad week of lip sync, you know?

[Monet]

Yeah, for sure. And. But Crystal ends up winning, and so Crystal gets the three points, Aura gets two, and then the other girls have one point each to give away, which we'll find out at the top of the. At the next episode. What happened? Oh, I want to comment too. Renee's rap. Renee's rap. Renee raps makeup. Was Renee's rap.

[Bob]

Tell me about Renee's rap. How did Renee's rap go?

[Monet]

Her makeup artist? I know they tried to give her rakakao and give her the drag fantasy. Did you like her makeup?

[Bob]

It was. I didn't really think as much about

[Monet]

it as you did, to be honest. It was a little wild.

[Bob]

Show it to me again, Jacob.

[Jacob]

Show what to you?

[Bob]

Renee raps makeup. I mean, I can't. I can't Google anything

[Monet]

like a steal from her behind the thing, Jacob.

[Jacob]

Yeah, I'm gonna pull it out. Give me a second.

[Monet]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Can we talk about it in our exclusive untucked?

[Monet]

Yeah, we'll do that. And someone said having not doing a Renee rap song for the lip sync is crazy. No shade.

[Bob]

Okay.

[Jacob]

But also. No shade. Like what? Renee said she doesn't have a great discography for Drag Race lip syncs. Like, are we seeing them do too?

[Monet]

Well, what Renee rap song? Like, I. I can't even name a Renee rap song. Could you?

[Jacob]

I mean, that's. She has a niche audience, but I can't. Like, I. I don't think her music. Unless they're doing something, like maybe something from Mean Girls the musical, but that might be a licensing issue. Great songs. But also,

[Monet]

what are you. We told you, you can't scream with your fucking phone mic. We can't hear you. This is.

[Bob]

All I said was period. Yeah, all I said was too Period.

[Monet]

Not the fucking retouched. Not the bitch. The one behind the table.

[Bob]

She looks like Nikki doll.

[Monet]

Jacob gonna pick up the retouch.

[Jacob]

Not the look that she was wearing.

[Monet]

I don't think that's even what her outfit was. Was this her outfit?

[Bob]

Okay, yes. Okay. I don't remember.

[Monet]

Yeah, but you're looking at the retouch picture. You know, I look at it on my retouch pictures as well.

[Jacob]

Okay, let's see.

[Bob]

She looks like a Nikki doll.

[Monet]

Am I crazy?

[Bob]

Oh, here we go.

[Jacob]

Here we go.

[Bob]

Here we go.

[Monet]

There we go. No, no, no, no, no. Right to the left. There we go. That girl. They did her dirty.

[Jacob]

Does she have a lazy eye?

[Bob]

No, but they painted one on her. We can wrap the episode up. Monet, who's. Who's merging from this bracket?

[Monet]

I think it's going to be Crystal Method and Silk. Silk with a good milk.

[Bob]

That's exactly what I think it is going to be too. Actually. I'd be really shocked if Silky did not make it to the finale. I'd actually be really shocked.

[Monet]

So the finale. Okay, I know about all that.

[Bob]

I think she'll be finale on two of the three seasons she's done already.

[Guest]

Who do y' all want to make it to pass this bracket, though?

[Bob]

But I want Silky.

[Monet]

I want.

[Bob]

I want to be Silky and. And. And Crystal. That's how I wanted to be.

[Monet]

Bob fight you.

[Jacob]

Why not Selena?

[Bob]

Well, I think that Selena is constantly doing good enough, but not the best. She's giving dawn on her season of Drag Race. Always good enough, but never the best. Maybe. But you know what? I have changed my. I have changed my opinion mid mid season before. So maybe next episode, I'll change my opinion.

[Monet]

Oh, girl, you are. You are a fence rider. You will change your position. You do this constantly. We're. This is not anything new.

[Bob]

I allow the show to change. So as people change to the show, I'm not gonna just stick to my. What I said just because things are revealed.

[Jacob]

What, in your opinion, did Silky do better than Selena in this episode?

[Bob]

Well, I think that her performance. Her performance in the challenge was really good. I do this that Selena did better in the Runway. I'm gonna go ahead and say Selena's Runway was way better than Silky's Runway by, like, a country mile. But I do think that Silk's performance was better than Selena's.

[Monet]

Yeah.

[Guest]

Okay.

[Jacob]

Right now we have one who's better at performance and one who's better at Runway. So by that logic, they're at least equal

[Bob]

also. Silky's lyrics were also. Jacob's actually eating. And he's. He's not eating. He's starving. Because Silky's lyrics. Because Silky's. Silky's lyrics are also better than Selena's.

[Jacob]

Were better than collard greens and cornbread. The fans go crazy over mother's head.

[Bob]

That's what Silky said. And that was better than me.

[Monet]

Now you. Not you. Now you finishing the rap. That's what Silky said. And I want to go to her. To her dad.

[Bob]

I thought that Silk. Yo, listen, you and Jay on the anti Silk train, who was. Who is.

[Monet]

Who is Anti Silk? Anti Silk.

[Bob]

Jacob and Jay. The Jays don't like Silk. No.

[Monet]

So I want it to be I. Who I want to progress is Selena and Crystal. But I think Silky's going to edge Crystal or. But you know what the points are in this thing get crazy. Like, people giving the. Giving the points can really turn the entire tide. So I think Selena can go ahead. But we'll see. We'll see what happens next episode.

[Bob]

Next week, I might change my mind. We'll see what happens. All right, y'. All, join us over on the Patreon to hear our exclusive thoughts about Untucked and the Drag Race drama going on. We'll see you there.
