Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Reflections on Season 8’s Reception

• Bob: Expresses surprise at how some fans overlook Season 8’s quality.
  “Season eight doesn't particularly rank very high, but I think season eight has a lot of good stuff in it. It has a good amount of drama, and it's Great drag season eight.” (00:09)

2. Acid Betty’s Departure: Backstage Reactions

• Bob and Monét discuss the elation of the queens after Acid Betty’s elimination.
• They reminisce about the wild personalities of the New York drag scene, referencing the “Queens of Drag NYC” reality show and spilling tea that some reality moments may have been produced or staged (e.g., Mimi Imfurst’s "dad" possibly being an actor).
  “...hiring an actor to pretend to be your dad... it is reality TV. They're probably trying to produce it.” (02:32)

3. Watching Yourself on Reality TV

• Bob expresses discomfort at seeing himself portrayed as insufferable by some queens in the edit: “It seemed like everyone is annoyed with me... I just don't remember this.” (03:44)

4. The Reading Challenge: Highlights and Shade

• Both hosts agree Season 8’s reading challenge is one of the best. Bob recalls the unique “no smoking” reading glasses and the guest judge’s presence.

• Favorite reads include:

  • Chi Chi: “But Bob, you may be from New York, but those feet are still from the city.” (05:36)
  • Kim Chi: “Chichi, your drag is just like turkey neck—cheap and no one wants it.”
  • Derrick: “Bob the Drag Queen, I had no idea that there were different shades of ashy.”
    Bob reflects on his infamous Payless shoes:
    “I used to exclusively, and I mean exclusively out of drag, women's Payless shoes.” (05:46)

• Thorgy’s simple “Shut up, Bob” is critiqued for not being a real read, but acknowledged as playing into the episode’s narrative.

5. Wizard of Oz Book Tea

• The challenge is based on L. Frank Baum's original book—not just the classic film. Bob reveals how grisly and violent the book is, including the Tin Man massacring creatures:
  “In the book, the Tin Man kills over 100 different characters... the Tin man is going through this field, just killing everyone.” (12:11)

6. Makeover Challenge & Little Women: LA Guests

• The queens are paired with cast members from Little Women: LA, who pick their Drag Race partners (not vice versa), leading to some fun and unique pairings.
• Bob notes some partners (such as Elena) had more “standard” proportions, making fittings easier; others faced unique tailoring challenges.

7. Workroom Drama & Meltdowns

• Thorgy is irritated that Chi Chi finishes early, sparking discussion about focusing on oneself.
• Both Bob and Kim Chi recount off-camera meltdowns: Bob due to Chipotle burrito order mishap (with unwanted onions and peppers), and Kim Chi over broken sewing machines.
  “And I took my burrito, and I just—I mean, I slammed my burrito into the bowl monster… Naomi was like, girl, I will pick the peppers out for you.” (25:13)
  “When Kimchi gets really mad, her voice goes up like three octopuses...” (27:34)

8. The Looks: Critiques and Praise

Chi Chi DeVayne (Dorothy)

• Praised for getting the job done, but critiqued for lack of silhouette and shoe choices.
  Monét: “I wish she was corseted to give more va va voom.” (35:21)

Bob the Drag Queen (Glinda)

• Bob reveals he was inspired by a RuPaul peplum catsuit and made the outfit in less than 30 minutes.
• Drama: Elena kept trying to do her own makeup, breaking challenge rules.
  Monét: “Why did she keep on doing—I'm like, bitch, stop touching her face.” (38:35)

Naomi Smalls (Scarecrow)

• Universal acclaim; considered one of the best makeover looks ever.
  Monét: “Honestly, I genuinely think this is one of the top makeup looks, makeover looks ever in Drag Race.” (40:55)
  Bob still owns Naomi’s original look as a souvenir.

Derrick Barry (Tin Man)

• Panned by both hosts; skirt doesn’t cover the body and minimal effort evident.
  Bob: “Tara Jo’s skirt doesn't even cover her body. Her entire left thigh is just—yeah, it's just like popping.” (44:16)

Robbie Turner (Cowardly Lion)

• Both agree the look is disastrous; her partner looks miserable.
  Monét: “This is terrible. Bob.” (46:32)

Thorgy Thor (Emerald City)

• Generally positive comments, though wigs are questioned.
  Monét: “I like this look. I think... Britney looks hot and sexy.” (49:08)

Kim Chi (Wicked Witch)

• Creative high marks, both for design and the “tall witch” reveal.
  Bob: “They look so cool. And the idea that Kimchi did where she was, like, holding Brianna in this, like, really tall witch moment in the reveal was really cool.” (50:15)

9. Runway Judges & Anecdotes

• Praise for RuPaul’s and Michelle’s evolving looks.
• Bob tells a hilarious story about not recognizing Marc Jacobs at a NYC event, despite Marc being a guest judge on this very episode.
  “I literally asked Marc Jacobs, do I know you from somewhere? And he was like, I just don't have any recollection of ever meeting you.” (33:47)

10. "Who Should Go Home and Why?"

• Bob (and most of the Black queens) nominate Derrick; all “white girls and Kim” nominate Chi Chi, highlighting a humorously divided workroom.
  Bob: “Almost all the black girls said Derek, and all the white girls said Chichi. The white girls and Kim said Chichi.” (52:03)

• Bob recalls Chi Chi’s readiness for a fight after critiques:
  “I said Chi Chi Girl, are you okay? And then she looked at me and she said, good. I want to fight.” (53:05)

11. Bottom Two & Lip Sync

• Naomi Smalls rightfully wins the challenge.
• Bottom two: Derrick Berry vs. Robbie Turner. Both agree this was correct.
• Derrick wins the lip sync; the hosts roast Season 8 queens for routinely losing articles of drag during performances. “Every episode, it was in the air. It was something in the air, girl.” (55:25)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Acid Betty’s departure:
  Bob: “I didn't know that everyone was that happy to see her go. I was torn up. I was destroyed.” (00:33)
• On RuPaul when complimented:
  Bob: “She does the thing that Dorothy does when she first puts on the ruby slippers—puts her toes together and points her heels out one at a time.” (10:08)
• On the reality of the workroom:
  “The sewing machines from season one. These motherfuckers were old. They're all broken, bitch.” (23:00)
• On lace fronts and hard fronts:
  “Lace fronts have become incredibly affordable... you can get a lace front for like 20 bucks.” (47:22)

Transcript

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monet, are you enjoying watching season eight of RuPaul's Drag Race again?

[Monet X Change]

You know, I do enjoy season eight. Season eight was a good season. Like, why people, like, list seasons. Season eight doesn't particularly rank very high, but I think season eight has a lot of good stuff in it. It has a good amount of drama,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

and it's Great drag season eight, well off the top.

[Monet X Change]

Not another season 10 or all stars four, so whatever. Who cares?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So, bitch, we get back, Acid Betty has just gone home, and people are, like, ecstatic. Like, Kim is like, Acid Betty's gone and does the, like, the thumbs up. And Thorgy's like, she was a mess. And I'm glad. Like, I'm like, I didn't know that everyone was that happy to see her go. I was torn up. I was destroyed.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, but you were sobbing backstage. But, I mean, you can't be mad. That's. Cause you know Betty. But Thorgy knows Betty, too. But. Cause you know Thorgy, if y' all want, like, a really Kako, go back on YouTube and search Queens of New York. You can see old videos of Acid Betty, Sherry, Vine, Lady Bunny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

They were trying to do, like, a. Like a. Like a. Like a Drag Queens in New York City, like a Real Housewife thing. Anyway, and. And acid was on there, but. And. But acid was causing chaos. She was so mean to everyone. And people like, fuck this, bitch. No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying in Drag Race, like, they didn't know her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, she was. She was. Yeah, they were happy to see her go. I was like, damn, y' all are Queens of New York. Still on the Internet. No way.

[Monet X Change]

It has to be on YouTube still.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was Mimi I'm first.

[Monet X Change]

The Mimi I'm first episode is wild.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is. I heard a rumor. You didn't hear the rumor that I heard what? I heard a rumor that that wasn't even. That guy wasn't even her dad.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah. And I heard that from a very reliable source.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So just so you guys know, in the show Queens of New York, Mimi Einfirst had a really rough interaction with her father on the show, and this whole emotional.

[Monet X Change]

It's called Queens of Drag nyc. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Had this whole emotional moment with him, and then someone's like, that's fully not her dad. Oh, at all. Oh, at all.

[Monet X Change]

That is crazy behavior, not hiring an actor to pretend to be your dad on his name. But, I mean, it is reality tv. They're probably trying to produce it. I mean, allegedly. The stories were true. It just wasn't the actual person.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm dead. That is wild. That is.

[Monet X Change]

No, but her dad is dead.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, is he really dead?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know. In that shot, he is dead as hell.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, he's not dead. No, he's not dead. No, he. He, like, leaves her. She, like, built a closet to show her dad her drag. And then he was like, I don't approve of this. You don't remember that?

[Monet X Change]

I remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's so crazy. Yeah. It was like her dad was like, I don't approve of this drag stuff. And then he, like, walks away. She's like, crying. I was like, honestly, the acting was popping. Like, the acting.

[Monet X Change]

She was hurting it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, the acting was giving. I was like, girl, you better work anyway. So also, there is this, like, an. Was. Okay. Watching back the show, are you ever cringe at your own, like, behavior or. Or the way you're being perceived because it's on the show?

[Monet X Change]

Absolutely.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It seems like I'm unaware. It seems like I'm walking around, like, just having fun. And it seemed like everyone is annoyed with me. And I was like, I just don't remember this.

[Monet X Change]

It does seem like that. It's. It doesn't. It seems like the only. No, Naomi seems like, to be really, like, involving you. Well, but it does seem like everyone else, like, Robbie is coming at you. Thorgy was coming at you. Yeah, they were really Robbie. And Robbie and Robbie ends. They end that act. Robbie's like, Bob is. Bob is setting himself up for all the Jenga pieces to fall.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, yeah. She goes, you ever play Jenga? Sometimes. You're building something up. And he's going to have a massive fall. And I was like, I don't see that for me. Also, I will say. I will say that didn't age well because,

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, it seemed like everyone was really like. Like I was saying, like what? Like, they're making it seem like you were in the van, like, like just, like, going off. And they just made it seem like you were just, like, really insufferable.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Right? I was like, this is so rude. I hate this.

[Monet X Change]

See, I cover the next day.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then we have the reading challenge, which, by the way, I feel like this was one of the last seasons that they had really cool glasses. For the reading challenge, we have these no smoking glasses with these, like, cigarettes. Slits for your eyes. And I feel like after this, they just kind of became like, whatever, glass. But they were really cool reading. Reading classes, quote, unquote. And I remember being like, I forgot that guy Was even there. He was like the editor of something. I was like, who?

[Monet X Change]

I'm like, why the fuck was he there?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He was promoting the magazine, whatever magazine it was. I can't remember the magazine, but he

[Monet X Change]

was promoting that magazine, Entertainment Weekly. Maybe he was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it was like, do you read magazines? Reading, Reading challenge, you know, who fucking knows?

[Monet X Change]

I wrote this. Reading challenge was a good one. I wrote out some of my favorite for each girl. So Chi Chi is my favorite. Chi Chi read was. But Bob, you may be from New York, but those feet are still from the city.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Those feet are still from. And they pan down and I'm wearing those. I used to exclusively, and I mean exclusively out of drag women's Payless shoes. You remember this, Monet?

[Monet X Change]

I remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I'm telling y', all, unless I was at the gym, I was wearing Payless women's shoes. And I mean, the only shoes I would wear. And they panned down. And those shoes, when I say threadbare, there were these, like, lace.

[Monet X Change]

What was I. Lace clothes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They were these lace shoes that you can see my whole feet through.

[Monet X Change]

They were, uh huh. And then. And then they panned down to the shoes. Your feet is all leaned over on the side. You fucking walking on the side of the shoes. I said, dot this. They was all runned over.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who else did you love? I thought Kim Chi had some really great reads as well. Kim Chi did a really good job. And Paul was like, who would have thought that was in there? Like, bitch, we've been there.

[Monet X Change]

My Kim on was, she says, chichi Chi, your drag is just like turkey neck cheap and no one wants it. I was like, I like turkey neck,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

but it is cheap.

[Monet X Change]

It is very cheap. This is very cheap.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What if she said cheap and only black people wanted?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. Imagine. I would have kind of lived cheap.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And white people kind of don't get it.

[Monet X Change]

Derek. I thought Derek was very funny. Bob the Drag Queen. I had the idea. Oh, she goes, bob the Drag Queen. I had no idea that they were different shades of ashy. I was like,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

like not micro. Not the micro. Between that and the. And the little twerking line from last episode. You know what three. I did. I. I didn't. I. I really thought that, like, Thorgy just saying shut up to me was not a good read. And everyone acted like it was great. I was like, why y' all laughing? Bob, please shut up. I'm like, it's not even good.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I don't think it was a good read, but I think. But it Fed into the narrative of, like, apparently you just always talking, you're always going off, and no one could get a word in edgewise. So that pro. So in the crimes of that. It made sense, you know?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Not. Not. Not. Thorgy, a producer feeding the storyline now.

[Monet X Change]

And yours are really good, too. I really liked your. Your. Your. Your. Your flipper one to Robbie was my favorite.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My favorite one was when Derek. When Derek Barry heard Britney Spears, she said, really? I prefer. What did I say? I prefer fencing.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, that's a good one. That was a good one.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That is such a stupid. That is so stupid.

[Monet X Change]

Naomi was good, too. Naomi had a really good one. Her first one was funny. I forgot. What? I didn't write it down, though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, it was. This was a great reading challenge, and I won the reading challenge, which. Which also upset Thorgy even more. Thorgy still mad.

[Monet X Change]

It's like Bob won, but I do

[Bob the Drag Queen]

think I deserve to win. And also, I don't think I ever got that first drag Jewel set. I don't think I ever got that.

[Monet X Change]

Don't even get me started on fierce drag Jewels, honey.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I like fierce drag jewels. I just. I just. I just never got that one. I just never got that one particular set from them.

[Monet X Change]

Who was. Who do you think would have been second?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think Chi Chi did a really good job. Chi Chi was very funny to me.

[Monet X Change]

Chi Chi Devane, we love.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who would you say? Kim. Kim was good, too. There were really no duds in this. In this whole reading. Yeah, all that. I think this might be one of the best reading challenges on the show, actually.

[Monet X Change]

No All Stars forwards. No. No All Stars 2. All Star Shooting challenge was everything.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was great. That was very, very good.

[Monet X Change]

We should. Roxy. Roxy Andrews, I think about you every morning at the bus.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That is horrible. I think we should do All Stars 2 next. It's one of my favorite seasons of Drag Race.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I'm down to. I'm so down to The All Stars 2. It's so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All Stars 2 was so good. Oh, my God. So then we find out that we're doing so RuPaul. Also, RuPaul does this thing where if you ever. If you ever meet RuPaul, y', all, if you ever compliment RuPaul's shoes, she does the thing that Dorothy does when she first puts on the ruby slippers, where you put your toes together and you point your heels out one at a time. And RuPaul does this literally every time you compliment her shoes, she does this. I'm telling you.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, that's not my experience with Sir Paul.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Have you ever complimented her shoes?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, pretty much every time RuPaul comes into the workroom. Like, all right, bitch, you better work. Look at those shoes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Specifically, you have to compliment her shoes. When you compliment her shoes, she does the little toe thing every single time. Cause y' all are talking about the outfit. Like, this outfit, this outfit, this stuff. And it's like a little wizard of Oz bit that she does. She also was obsessed with doing this. She was obsessed with, like, pointing at things because she had acrylics on this season. So she was obsessed with pointing at things and doing this. And she would always do that. She'd be like, my book.

[Monet X Change]

I love RuPaul so much.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But anyway, so speaking of books, we found out that we're doing a design challenge based off of the Wonderful wizard of Oz, the L. Frank Baum book.

[Monet X Change]

I never knew the wizard of Oz was a book before this moment. Like, not like now. Like, when the season aired, I was like, this is a book first. I did not know that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, really?

[Monet X Change]

I had no idea back then in the day.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. So when I first moved to New York City, I was on this quest to read a bunch of, like, as much classic literature as possible. I think I did, like, three books, and I was done. I think I did. I did wizard of Oz. I did the Catcher and the Rye, and I think I did Kill a Mockingbird. And I was like, this is ridiculous, because some of these books are boring, but the wizard of Oz is a fucking weird book. Oh, bitch. The movie is so watered down. Like, in the book, the Tin man kills over 100 different characters.

[Monet X Change]

Just chop my bitches up. I mean, I am the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There's one scene where he's literally just going through a field, just killing things. Just killing people, creatures.

[Monet X Change]

Why?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because they're trying to. So the actual book doesn't end with the water in the thing. Like, Dorothy gets taken to, like, a tower, and then they have to fight these animals. I think that'll like. It's been years. I think it's like the of part part bear, part spider. But then when she's in this space, you have to go to get the witch. But then they have to go through this fields of porcelain. Everyone's made of porcelain. And the Tin man is been years. But the Tin man is going through this field, just killing everyone. He's like the hitman. And it is a very fucked up book. The Tin man also chops himself up. He's Tin man because he was a regular woodsman, but I think the witch cursed his ax, and every time he'd go to swing it, he would just chop off another body part. So his axe was cursed and he couldn't chop trees. Every time he swing it, he ends up cutting off a leg and then his arm and then his head and then his whole body.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, that sounds very gruesome. It sounds like a fucking Grimm's fairy tale.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is a very, very gruesome book. I recommend you read it. It's actually a very entertaining book, and it's a quick read.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, maybe I will do that, Bob. I should have read it before this challenge, and I can be really knowledgeable of what this challenge was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And also, Elphaba is from the name L. Frank Baum.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I've never seen Wicked either, which I said on the podcast already. I really want to, but everyone's telling me anytime I say that, they're like, yeah, you should have seen it back when it was new. Like, now everyone tells me, don't go see it now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I'm like, okay, I heard that now, though. Like, now. Now is actually really popping because everyone's back on Broadway, so everyone's just excited to be back at work. So, like, now, if you go see a Broadway show, every. Everyone's, like, performing like, the show just opened because a lot of them did just reopen.

[Monet X Change]

Got it. Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait for the movie, which is gonna be in two parts, apparently.

[Monet X Change]

I know. Which is wild. I hate that. That makes me so upset, because now I know at the end of the first movie, I'm gonna want to see the second half. Gonna be so irritated by it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, at least it's going to end with defying gravity. You know, it has to end with defying gravity. What if it stops right before defying gravity? What if it stops right.

[Monet X Change]

No way.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, that would be.

[Monet X Change]

Wait.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What people would.

[Monet X Change]

Is wait, in the show, the Defying Gravity, is it right before intermission?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes, it is. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But also honest. They should really get wild and release them at the same time. They would kill the box office. Kill the box office.

[Monet X Change]

What ends the show?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wicked.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Elf. Say again? Yeah. So, Elph. Spoiler alert. But I mean, it's been literally 20 something years, so, like, whatever. But Elphaba has been killed. They threw the water on her, but that's just a hoax. Like, she doesn't actually melt if you throw water on her. So they faked her death, and then Elphaba and Glinda sing a song about how they've changed each other's lives for good.

[Jacob]

Oh, for good, Noellan. That's not the truth.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, what is it, bitch?

[Jacob]

Okay, so, Fiera, who's your love interest? They think he's been killed. They take him off into a cornfield, and they're like. Cause he's with the wicked Witch of the west, and they kill him. Then Elphaba's in the tower, and there's a mob coming to kill her with Dorothy leading it. And Glinda's like, they're gonna kill you. You gotta go. And Elphaba's like, no.

[Shannon Maldonado]

And.

[Jacob]

And then they sing for good. And then Elphaba is like, you gotta hide, like they're gonna kill you too if they find you here. Then throws the water on her. She melts. Glinda's like, well, my best friend just died. She leaves. Turns out Fiero, who died.

[Monet X Change]

She.

[Jacob]

Elphaba cast a spell on him to save him during no good deed. He's back. He's the scarecrow that. He gets up a trap door. She gets up. They leave together. They live happily ever after.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, there it is.

[Monet X Change]

Allicanama nama nama nacha nacha allicanoma alla kahnama.

[Jacob]

That's let shot be torn. Let his blood leave no stain.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Jacob is really into this wicked stuff. Jacob is Fiero.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, Jacob is Bach. How dare you?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know what that even means. Is a composer from the baroque era.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes, you got me. Bach is a composer from the. From. From the. From the bitch you broke era. Bitch you baroque era.

I chose Shopify because when I was testing other platforms, it was definitely one of the most user friendly. It was important to me to think about where we would be in the future. All of the tools for reading your sales, like planning inventory, they're just right there on your dashboard. For anyone starting a small business, the biggest thing I can tell you is it doesn't have to be perfect. Shopify can help you build upon it. Start your free trial on shopify.com anyway,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

so back to RuPaul's Drag Races. That was a 10 minute tangent. So we are working with the cast of Little Women la, which is so funny because when we would drive from Burbank into Hollywood every day, I don't know how many of you are familiar with the LA area, but when you

[Monet X Change]

were driving, you mean Burbank to Hollywood? Because Burbank is in la.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I meant to Hollywood. Yes. When you drive from Burbank over that little bridge and then you get ready to turn left going toward the Hollywood bowl, there's a billboard right up there. And every day we saw a billboard for Little Women la. Every day we saw this.

[Monet X Change]

It was a very popular show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then the Universal Studio Boulevard. Yeah. And then we ended up. Then we ended up. They ended up being cast in our show. They came in. It was very interesting because they all came in and we did not choose them. They came in with their characters and they chose us.

[Jacob]

Right.

[Monet X Change]

Which I think, I think that. I think that was a nice twist. I think that letting them choose.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But they made it seem they were choosing us. Like they knew us. They were like. I mean, one of them didn't know each other. Derrick Barry did know his lady. His woman. They actually worked together in the past as Britney Spears impersonators. But the rest of us, they were like, I like things a little saucy, so I'm gonna pick Bob. And I was like, you don't even know. What do you mean? I know my lady's name was Elena.

[Monet X Change]

Well, maybe backstage they probably like show them pictures of y' all and they'd probably give them a little tea on y'. All and then that's how they chose. Maybe that's why. But I will say I wish that it was the cast, a Little Woman Atlanta, because if one of y' all had the chance to work with Juicy, that would have been I. That is. That would be fierce.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Didn't Juicy pass away?

[Monet X Change]

No, I think the other young lady passed away.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, the one that Goes, hey. I actually don't know who's in the castle. I've never seen them. The one that goes, hey, how y' all doing?

[Monet X Change]

Have you ever seen the clip of her of them. Of them out to lunch or whatever? And she's like, I want. She's like, I think that's Balsalamic. And they're like, what? I think that's basilamic. That's Balsalamic.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who's the one that says, hey, how y' all doing?

[Monet X Change]

That's juicy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hey. Hey, how y' all doing? Whatever. What happened? Jacob.

[Jacob]

No, on Lana, who passed away, was named Minnie.

[Monet X Change]

Minnie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was a car accident.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I think so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Rest in peace to many. Rest in peace to many. But we were the cast of Little Women la. And they were actually really. They were fun. They were a very fun group of women. They were great. And this. So it was a design challenge. This was the infamous makeover challenge. Every season gets a makeover challenge, and we were to make them over. But. But the thing is, it was very interesting. Some of us got away really easily. Me, I had Elena. And Elena, her dimensions are pretty standard. Like a person without dwarfism, she's just kind of just short. Whereas a lot of the women in the cast, their proportions were very different than people without dwarfism. And it was probably very interesting to design for these women. Probably. I mean, Elena ended up being probably the easiest person to design for out of the group, to be honest.

[Monet X Change]

Wow. So you cheated.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I did not choose Elena. Elena chose me. I just want to reiterate that, y',

[Monet X Change]

all, here's the thing. They're doing this design challenge, and Chi Chi finishes early, and Thorgy is, like, mad. Thorgy's, like, pissed off. I'm like, bitch, mind your fucking business. Also, you should be happy that she didn't spend all her time. Does that mean that she's not gonna have a strong look? I was very confused as to why Thorgy was so bothered that she. That Chi Chi got finished early.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. I think, if anything season the show. If anything, Thorgy is just bothered. Thorgy is just. All I was doing was just winning challenges. Thorgy's mad that I won a challenge. Like, Thorgy is just mad. Thorgy is just mad that people are doing things and existing in the world.

[Jacob]

Why?

[Monet X Change]

Who cares?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she was. And. And Chi Chi went to sleep, which was. Which really kind of set a fire amongst it. This was a also fun fact about this episode. This episode was.

[Monet X Change]

We.

[Jacob]

We.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We had. So the sewing machine that drag race are very Very old. I don't know if they're still. They're new now. But my season. I think they were the. The sewing machines from season one. These motherfuckers were old. They're all broken, bitch. They were all broken. You had to, like. You had to, like, sew things. You had to go to, like, three different machines to sew all your stuff. So we're sitting here sewing, and at the end of the night, me and Kimchi both had meltdowns on this episode, Both of us, off camera, meltdown.

[Monet X Change]

I didn't see Kim's. I was. I didn't see Kim's meltdown as we saw yours.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't have a. No, no, no, no. A meltdown. Meltdown. I mean, like a screaming. Not like, oh, no, my outfit. My zipper. It was like. We both had, like, meltdown meltdowns. So my meltdown. This episode was after the. So we. You really have to bargain with the people to get the food you want. Like, because they want to make everyone happy. Some people want Popeyes, some people want chipotle. Some people want bossanovas, Some people want this, some people want that. And we all. A few of us wanted Chipotle. So we were able to convince them to get us Chipotle.

[Monet X Change]

So Chi Chi confirmed. Chi Chi was like, I can't wait to get this Chipotle.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So we all wanted Chipotle. And one time, we were able to convince him to get Popeyes. But Derek didn't want Popeyes. Cause she didn't. She had never. She said she had never had fried chicken. I was like, you've never had fried chicken? What?

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, I mean.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But a lot of us were like, we really want fried chicken. But Derek was like, I've never had fried chicken, and I want to eat healthy. We were like, bitch, fuck. We're stressed out and tired. We want comfort food. Anyway, so we had. So we finally got chipotle, right? So we get our chipotle. And I ordered my chipotle. I've had the same order. My chipotle order is vegetarian, and sometimes it's vegan. Because I've had the same chipotle order since I was a vegan. Same. It is white rice, black beans, hot sauce, corn, salsa, guacamole, and chipotle vinaigrette on the burrito. This is what I order for years. Sometimes I put cheese in it. Well, girl, I also, like, I don't want sour cream. And whenever you get a vegetarian burrito, they're always. Always put in the fajitas. The onions and peppers. I do not want onions and peppers.

[Monet X Change]

I hate the fajitas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I said, please do not put onions and peppers. They said, okay. I said, please don't put onions and peppers, please. They said, okay. We get our food. It has been a very long day. I am stressed out. We're trying to make two costumes. I'm tired. I'm stressed out. Take a bite into my burrito. And there are fucking onions and peppers. And I took my burrito, and I just. I mean, I slammed my burrito into the bowl monster. I was like. I said, no fucking. I can say pepper. And then a fucking bitch. And Naomi was like, oh, my God. Naomi was like, girl, I will pick the peppers out for you. And they were like, do you want us to go and pick them? I was like, no. I was like. Honestly, I just still. I was, like, so tired. I was like. I just Was like. I was just so looking forward to this. And, like, I can't. Like, this is. I'm just so fucking stressed out.

[Monet X Change]

These poor PAs who were getting paid $5 an hour to deal with Bob Slap throwing a burrito in their face.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just want. I did not throw at anyone. Also, I want to point out that Monet's alleged payment of the. The pas is alleged. We do not know if they're paid $5. That is Monet just making up some numbers. Do you know, when I was a waiter back at Ruby Tuesday, I got paid $2.13 an hour.

[Monet X Change]

That is crazy. That's crazy. That I don't understand how Wade's just. Because they obviously earn tips, they don't get to make minimum wage. That sounds crazy to me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And by the way, this was not in 1974. As old as y' all think I am. This was back in 2004. 2004, 2005, when I worked at Ruby Tuesday, I made $2.13 an hour.

[Monet X Change]

That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Working at Ruby Tuesday. And I would get paychecks that were literally $0. My paychecks were literally $0 anyway, because

[Monet X Change]

they would just account for just tips.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And I get taxes taken out. So my check was just $0. It was wild.

[Monet X Change]

That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So. And Kimchi's freakout was her machine wasn't working. She's trying to sew this outfit, and her machine just wasn't working. So Kimchi just started. This is the next day. Kimchi just starts. I mean.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. I love a Kimchi scream. I love a Kim scream.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When Kimchi gets really mad, her Voice goes up like three octopuses. Have you ever heard this before, Monet?

[Monet X Change]

Of course. The infamous dragon. When Neverland did none of our boobs. And Kim started, like, taking her booth and, like, yelling at Anthony in the middle of DragCon. Yes. Iconic.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Kim was like, this is fucking bullshit. And she's like, I can't even do how loud. Like, Monet. I mean, Monet can confirm when Kimchi gets mad, her voice is in the falsetto and she is, like, so high pitched and she's talking so fast and she's like, just slamming this broken ass fucking sewing machine. Yeah, this was me and Kim Chi's freakout episode. Kimchi had a freak out down the line too, in, like, the second to last episode. But I will save that story for when we finally reach that episode.

[Monet X Change]

I really liked Chi Chi's partner was so funny. Just, like, cracking jokes, like, talking about Naomi and her partner trying to get their little dance together. Chi Chi's party was very funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, okay. Kimchi and Tonya got along the best. They also look related. They look like they know, like, they're from the same family.

[Monet X Change]

They.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Me and my lady kind of got along.

[Jacob]

Kimchi was with Brianna and Chi Chi was with Tanya.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, well, you have it written here. I say Chi Chi.

[Jacob]

You think?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I said Kimchi. I said Chi Chi and her lady got along. No, Chi Chi and her lady got along really, really well. And also we were also cackling because we were watching Kimchi and Brianna and Brianna and Kimchi's slapping the shit out. Kimchi is slapping this lady because she does that thing where RuPaul comes in and she goes, oh, and by the way, in addition to making a costume, you will have to have a interpretive dream sequence to my song if I Dream available on itunes. And I don't know why everyone was gagging. I was like, y' all been done new. She's gonna come back with a little thing. This is every. Literally every makeover challenge has happened. I don't know why y' all acting

[Monet X Change]

brand new, but I know, but also, they never have. They had never have any bearing in the. In the thing because they never have any bearing in the thing. So I don't know why.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, Thorgy's lady, Brittney, she went on tour with Miley Cyrus and her, like, stage name was Shafrica. And I just remember. Did they talk about that episode? I can't remember.

[Monet X Change]

No, I mean, they talk about that she danced for Miley, but you never talk about her name being Shafreeka.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Her stage name was Shafrica, that I remember very vividly. And also Robbie Turner's lady. Like, she hated her look. Like she. We'll get there.

[Monet X Change]

I can't wear. We'll get there. But I forgot how horrible that shit was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

As Matteo would say, it was horrible, horrible.

[Monet X Change]

I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I really want to get to you. So the way the workroom is, there's like. If you're staring at the workroom from the exit, not the entrance, the exit, meaning where you enter from the end of the show, when you enter at the top of the episode, that's the way you go to get on the Runway. So if you're looking at the work room that way, meaning the mirrors on your right, and RuPaul is on your left. On the right, there's the mirrors, there's four desks, and to the left, there's this big open space where you rehearse stuff. So they clear the space out for us. And I guess that Naomi and her lady Jasmine had no plans or the plan. So there's just this clip of Naomi and Jasmine just staring at each other, not doing anything, just standing there. And we were all watching it happen and just cackling. We were like, what are they doing? Like, what the fuck is going on? It was. It was like the blind leading the blind. Like, neither one of them knew how to dance or what to do. They were just like, we're just gonna. They just. I mean, it was literally like maybe a solid one minute of them just standing there just looking at each other for a while, which is longer than you think it is.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, no, that sounds like a long time in real. In actual time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And we were like, what the hell are they doing now? Just to be clear, I. So Chi Chi got Dorothy. I got Glinda, the Good Witch. Naomi Smalls got the Scarecrow. Derek Berry got the Tin Man. Robbie Turner got the Lion. Thorgy got an Emerald City. Emerald City, Emerald City citizen. And Kim Chi got the Wicked Witch of the West.

[Monet X Change]

To refresh, I want to first talk about RuPaul's look. When RuPaul. RuPaul looked so stunningly beautiful in this look, when RuPaul has down hair like that and his makeup, Matthew painted Ru so soft. I was like, RuPaul looks stunningly beautiful. Like a very different kind of beautiful for Ru. I feel like,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

yeah, she looks really good. And I also want to point out that this episode. Marc Jacobs is a guest. So years, like, maybe maybe a year later, I was at the premiere of The New York City premiere of Cherry Pop. Cherry Pop about a year later. And I see this guy in the dressroom, and I was like, what's your name? He goes, my name is Mark. And I go, mark? I said, mark, you look so familiar. Have we met before? And he was like, I don't. I don't think so. I don't know. I said, you look so familiar. We must have met somewhere. He goes, I don't. I don't know. I can't remember.

[Monet X Change]

I don't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. But I was like, all right, well, nice to meet you. And then down the line, about an hour later, we're all leaving the premiere, and Milk goes, oh, my God, Marc Jacobs is so nice. And I was like, that was random. That was so random. Why would you just randomly say Marc Jacobs is nice? And she was like, girl, that was Marc Jacobs in the dressing room. And I was like, I literally asked Marc Jacobs, do I know you from somewhere? And he was like, I just don't have any recollection of ever meeting you.

[Monet X Change]

Bobby. Bobby. Bobby. He probably meets a lot of people. Just. You meet a lot of people. He probably literally does not remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. But. But I also was like, my name's Bob the drag queen, and he was a judge on the show that I. That I was on. Like, he was there anyway.

[Monet X Change]

How do we forgot?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Probably possible.

[Monet X Change]

And also this episode, you weren't very memorable.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow. Nini. Wow. Drag me, Mom.

[Monet X Change]

Let's get into these also really quick. Michelle. You could tell Michelle. This is when Michelle really started to do, like, a different look. Like before the season. Michelle had, like, a very. A crazy look. She's way softer starting season eight.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And this is before Ross discovered the tracksuit. This is when Ross. This is back when Ross was dressing like a. Before Ross got ahold of us. Girl, somebody gave Ross Matthews a sequin tracksuit and she fucking lost her mind. You cannot get Ross to not be in a sequin tracksuit these days. This is back when Ross was dressed like a used car salesman. Ross looks. Ross is dressed like. Ross is dressed like Al Bundy when he sells shoes in Married With Children. Like, this. This look is wild.

[Monet X Change]

I love.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Come on, Ross and Todrick. Todrick is dressed. Todrick is dressed. Todrick always dressed kind of wild, though.

[Monet X Change]

I'm about to say Todrick is dressed like Todrick. Girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Todrick. Todrick going. Todrick. So let's get into the look, shall we? Also, j. Can you go grab the look? So, I mean. Okay. Chi Chi's. Look is not great. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

When she first walked the Runway, I was like, okay. And then I'm looking. Actually, I still don't mind. I don't hate it. I wish she was corseted to give more. Va va voom. But I don't hate it. I don't hate it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That is a corset, bitch. That is a corset.

[Monet X Change]

No, but not like a corset corset.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Drag. Drag the corset. Drag the corset.

[Monet X Change]

And then someone and they try to critique her as someone saying, like, it wasn't very Dorothy. I'm like, none of the outfits are giving me, like, the characters. It's just using the same materials. Like, no one's. Except besides Naomi Smalls and Thorgy, no one else has given me, like, the character.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think Derek was kind of giving.

[Monet X Change]

You're trying to be funny because she has an axe in her hand. That's the only reason.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's just the imagery. But I also. I really do not like the shoes that Chi Chi's wearing. These shoes are just not it. And I think that she should have shortened Tonya's fringe so that it matched hers.

[Monet X Change]

Curling.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

And also, she should have spray painted her shoes red, at least.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, in the book, grothy shoes are silver. Fun fact.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, but I mean, but if she had red shoes on, it would have been, like, work, I think.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think this is intentional. I think this is intentional for a lot of reasons. I think ruby red flags are probably maybe, like, trademark. I don't know. That's an assumption. But. But we were doing it based off the book, not the movie. So her shoes had to be silver. And they actually changed the shoes to ruby red in the film because it was one of the first films to ever appear in Technicolor and they wanted to take advantage of that. Fun fact.

[Monet X Change]

Why would I do my shoes red?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ok, now let's go on to me as Galinda the good witch. I told you all to pay attention to RuPaul's outfit. I think it was last episode. This is me trying my best to just copy RuPaul's peplum catsuit as best I could. When I tell you I made this outfit in legitimately less than 30 minutes while doing my makeup. I'm not joking, bitch. I can't.

[Monet X Change]

Why do you have glasses in your head?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because I was trying to make it look like elf. Like Glinda's on vacation. Glenda's, like, living her life on vacation. You know what I mean? Kind of moment. But also, Alana is wearing my wig from the promo. That is my wig from the promo. That was done by Perfidia and Rejuzh by Matthew Anderson, actually. And now doing her makeup was a wild moment because she would not let me do her makeup. And then she kept trying to do her own makeup, but then the producers kept coming in, being like, you cannot do your makeup. And then other girls are like, elena's cheating. Elena's doing her own makeup. And the other little women. The other little women were like, she's doing her own makeup. I see her doing her own makeup. They would come back, and then. Then it would come back, wipe. Make her wipe off what she did, and then I have to redo it. Yes, they were. They are very serious about, like, you cannot break the rules.

[Monet X Change]

Why did she.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why.

[Monet X Change]

Why would she. Why did she keep on doing. I'm like, bitch, stop touching her face.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because she wanted to be really pretty, and she was afraid of looking like a drag queen. And at this point, it wasn't like she had any reference. Cause she had never even seen me in drag. She don't know what I. She didn't know I was bad at makeup. She had no clue I'm not there.

[Monet X Change]

She knew, girl. She knew.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hold on one sec.

[Monet X Change]

What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh. But, yeah, she. I was like.

[Monet X Change]

She was like something. She's like something. Don't feel right. Let me do my own makeup.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But anyway, I would not wear this outfit today if it was a nicer material and done better. I mean, there is not a hem everywhere you look. There is a lot going on. But considering the amount of time I made this in, I was very proud of myself.

[Monet X Change]

Well, it's so crazy to me, because they always, like, for example, bitch, this is Monique Shades and Tyler Oakley, okay? Whenever, like, I'm like, yeah, of course I'm gonna see a motherfucking family resemblance, bitch. This is. This is a white person. I'm a black person.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And Monet, this is the. The indestructible wig.

[Monet X Change]

I know. There it is. That's the Dorothy wig girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monet was. Monet used to hate this wig. Monet, I hate it this way.

[Monet X Change]

Used to. I still hate it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't love this wig, but I used to wear it.

[Monet X Change]

Girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I used to treat this wig like garbage. So what do you think when you like my look or you hate it?

[Monet X Change]

I.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I kind of.

[Monet X Change]

I kind of flip. I like yours. I don't like what you made her like. I don't understand, like this square skirt you made her like, I don't understand what it's supposed to be. I feel like your look makes sense. And her look strange and it's pink.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, was a high, low, and it looks like a square in this picture. But if watching the video, it doesn't quite look like what it looks like here. I don't know what had happened, but it was a skirt that was attached to a belt. So it was a catsuit. And then this skirt that attached to a belt, that was what it was.

[Monet X Change]

But why was her top pink?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bitch, I didn't even know it was pink. I just took the fabric they gave us. I thought it was white. What do you want from me? Someone should have told me it was pink. I had no clue. I didn't know.

[Monet X Change]

Up next, Naomi Smalls. Now, I have to tell you, rewatching this, Naomi fucking turned this out. The whole thing, her person's look, her look like Naomi, this. Honestly, I genuinely think this is one of the top makeup looks, makeover looks ever in Drag Race. It was very impressive.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I want to tell you all that to this day, I still have this look for right here in my home. Gab, there she is, honey. This is Naomi Smalls original, original scarecrow dress.

[Monet X Change]

I should wear it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She gave it to me to sell as a girl. Listen, this motherfucker is tiny. I'm not saying you haven't lost some, but, bitch, this shit is. This was on skinny 21 year old Naomi, actually. Let me give y' all an example. Let me give y' all an example of how tiny Naomi is wearing a size 34 pants. Just. I wear a size 34 pants. This is what we're working with here,

[Monet X Change]

Work girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This mug closes all the way around Naomi's body. It had a little room. They had a little room

[Monet X Change]

I could fit in.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know what? And Patreon exclusive, to quote Monique. I would like to see it. I would like to see it. So the reason I got it, because I sold all of my costumes for charity, which I really wish I hadn't done. I wish I had just given the money over because I didn't raise that much money. I'm gone, baby. Um, I really wish I hadn't done it. I really, I wish I would have just given the money to charity because Drag Race wasn't where it is now. I didn't get enough money for these. For these things at. Oh, at all. Um, I sold it, but it was. It was actually. It was actually my highest bid item. This outfit was the highest bid item at the auction.

[Monet X Change]

Really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Besides the purse. The purse was the highest thing. And then this was the second highest thing, which didn't even go for that much. It went for, like 400 bucks. Can you believe that?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, wow.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But the guy did not pay. But the guy never paid the money, so I didn't send it. And then it was just too late. And now I just still have the scarecrow outfit.

[Monet X Change]

And Naomi covered the shoes and what she made for her partner. It was so well done. This is an underrated makeover challenge. This, to me, is really impressive.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think this was a pivotal moment in the show for Nami Smalls. And there was someone who did this really cool online. Did a really cool breakdown of the lip sync that changed everything on season eight. And it was Naomi versus Acid Betty. And it is a very cool video. I'm going to see if I can try to find it and maybe put it in the description. But y' all know me and Monat never put anything in anything in the description.

[Monet X Change]

No. Feel for yourself. I'll be putting my stuff.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ok, sure. But anyway, it was a. This is. Naomi looks so good. This asymmetrical Bob or pixie cut. It was. This was amazing. Amazing.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. She turned it up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go into Derrick Berry and Tara Joel.

[Monet X Change]

Girl. Garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage. She just got a.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's a piece of fabric. You could not convince Derek this was not Gaultier. You could not convince Derek this was not McQueen. Like, also, not to mention, like, Tara Jo's skirt doesn't even cover her body. Her entire left thigh is just. Yeah, it's just like popping. Because Derek does not have.

[Monet X Change]

What did Derek spend her time doing?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know how, like, so those of you who know how to sew, when you make a skirt, it's not just a piece of fabric. It is usually cut into a shape that looks kind of like a triangle. And then you connect the triangles together so that it actually flares out. Or you connect all the triangles and make, like a big circle or at least large enough so that it's not just up and down. Because people. Some people's bodies have dimensions. They don't just go up and down. So but Derek just took a piece of fabric and just connect. Everywhere you look, there's a hymn. This is the famous. Everywhere you looked, there's a Him episode. Um, and no.

[Monet X Change]

In the critiques.

[Jacob]

The critiques.

[Monet X Change]

And she was. She says to Michelle, I sewed everything you see here. Michelle goes, it's a piece of fabric. Yeah, it was Like, Derek is so delusional.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then this was in the Untucked, where she goes, everywhere you look, there's a hem. This is. They started calling her a hemi.

[Monet X Change]

The little shoulder penises. Things like. Then she did that weird red lip. I'm like, this is. This is up there with Lala Ri's bag. Look, I'm sorry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, this is.

[Monet X Change]

I'm sorry. It's up there.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I think that this is the. I think this is a leotard that Derek wore earlier in the season, but just spray painted silver.

[Jacob]

I think.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think work.

[Monet X Change]

She better.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I'm not sure.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. This is terrible. Terrible, Derek. Terrible.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Speaking of terrible, let's go on to Robbie Turner and Christy Gibble this.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yo. First of all, Chris, when I tell you Christy was so. I can't speak for Chris. This is an assumption. So Christy, if you're watching this, I'm just assuming. Feel free to comment in chat. If we're wrong. Christy hated this look. She looked.

[Monet X Change]

I would be embarrassed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She looked so sad to be in this look on the Runway. But she also didn't want to upset Robbie Turner. There were moments where we looked over her and she was like, oh, my. I cannot believe I'm wearing. I cannot believe I'm about to wear this. I cannot believe I'm about to wear this.

[Monet X Change]

This is terrible. Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't understand anything. Any. I don't understand a. And also, Robbie was really serious about these hard front wigs. She was dead ass serious.

[Monet X Change]

You know, I mean, it is a time of drag.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I don't want to like,

[Monet X Change]

you know, hard front, like non. Lace front wigs are a thing. The queens. I know queens to wear them, but they do the french fryer thing. They will take like the hair right at the front and the. And then you press it the other way and then they like shellac it with spray paint and then they like cut and make it look lace fronty. So people still do hard front wigs. And that's how to shit on people who can only afford hardfront wigs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, live your life also. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I real quick too that like, it's not always an affording thing. Lace fronts are very inexpensive these days. Lace fronts are not super expensive. Lace fronts have become incredibly affordable thanks to. Oh, thanks to. They are. You can get a lace front for like 20 bucks to you.

[Monet X Change]

$20 is a lot of money for some people.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. But hard front wigs don't cost much less than that Monet. Hard front Wig and lace front wig cost 5. Monet's doing a bit, but hard front wigs and lace front wigs cost about the same. They literally cost about the exact same. And Monet knows that. Monet's. Mon. Monet's doing a little bit for y' all right now. Poor, poor Christy. This. This look is so bad on. On every level.

[Monet X Change]

It's so bad. I can't. I like the shrug thing that Robbie put on the thing. Then just literally just taking a wig because she's trying to see. She's trying to do what Kim did in the first challenge because she just put a wig on her shoulder and she had this hideous champagne peachy colored this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And the bustle in the back is just in the one titty out. I will say, at least they both are in matching hideous. At least she didn't make herself something sickening and make her girl something horrible. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

Like, it is. Nothing about it says lying and not even in the not and not an out girl. This is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is horrible.

[Monet X Change]

Such a bad look.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's horrible. It's truly horrible. All right, let's move on to Thorgy Thor. Thorgy and Brittany Guzman. I love this look. This looks really great. I love that Thorgy took the pepble and turned into a cape for Britney. I wish that she would have done some different hair. Sometimes. Some of the wig Thor used to wear just look like girl, this is a crazy wig.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I like this look. I think. I like the peplum into the cape thing. I think Britney looks hot and sexy. I do agree, especially on Britney. The wig looks crazy. I mean, and this is Thorgy's. Thorgy wears hair like this all the time. And it looks good on Thorgy. It looks like shit. On Britney. It looked like someone fucking took green shit and pooped on Britney's head.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, it's. You sound like Michael Kor is giving critiques on. Project Runway.

[Monet X Change]

Project Runway.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You heard his. It just looks like you're pooping fabric. This is hard. It looks like someone took. It actually looks like someone took poop and smeared it all over your garment and then rolled you through a pack of bees.

[Shannon Maldonado]

And.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then the bees started flying. That's how you look.

[Monet X Change]

Not a pack. A pack, not a pack of bees.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like Michael Kors will always give the weirdest critiques. That did not make any sense. He would always. He was always laughing through them. It looks like, okay, Michael Kors anyway.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, no, he's an iconic judge on Project Runway.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And finally, we have Kim Chi And Briana Renee. I love both of these looks. They look so cool. And the idea that Kimchi did where she was, like, holding Brianna in this, like, really tall witch moment in the reveal was really cool.

[Monet X Change]

I like Kim's. I don't like the top of Rihanna's. I don't understand what's even going on on the top of her outfit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's the one titty. It's the one titty that Cynthia's doing the one titty at the top of the episode and the top of the season. Um, Robbie Turner and. And her woman are doing the. The one titty here. It's. It is the. It was very popular in drag at the time where you had one titty that was a rhinestone covered titty and the outfit going over the other one. You don't remember this in drag?

[Monet X Change]

I was doing drag at this time, and I don't remember this being a trend at all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, can confirm it was done three times on this season of Drag Race. Can confirm officially. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

On season eight.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. The first season to ever win an Emmy. Remember that? Remember that? And also we won a season we won aiming for best costumes, by the way. Remember that, honey? Remember that?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Because they're talking about Yalls costumes. Anyway, I love the episodes. And RuPaul asked that question, girl, who should go home and why? And I was surprised that you said, why did you choose Derek over Chi Chi?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because I thought that Derek's outfit was bad. It didn't look. I mean, I don't think I agree. Great. But Derek's was bad. Bad. And I think I agree Chi Chi's outfit had more craftsmanship in it than Derek's did. And Derek's was just a leotard with these cones and a piece of fabric around the waist. And I just was like, this is just. So I. So I chose. I chose also. Almost all the black girls said there.

[Monet X Change]

Huh?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And all the white girls said chichi. The white girls and Kim said Chichi.

[Monet X Change]

The white girls and Kim and yeah. Authority. Authority. Authority. Authorities. Dreadlocks checked out of this decision, didn't they?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So this was the episode. This episode during Untucked. We were so. We were in. It got. It got pretty heated. It got pretty heated up there.

[Monet X Change]

And I don't remember this untucked.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And this in the. In the. This was. This was. This was off camera. Gigi was just looking so, like, defeated and just like. I mean, was not talking to anyone. And we had a break. We had to take a break for lunch. I said, Gigi Girl, are you okay? And then she looked at me and she said, good. I want to fight. I said. I said, oh, my God. I said, fight. Like fist fight. She goes, good. I fight. I said, well, I don't know if that's the best thing to do.

[Monet X Change]

I live.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I like, maybe. Maybe take a breather. Maybe take a breather.

[Monet X Change]

Good. I want to fight.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Never. She was. She was sit at the edge of the couch. At the edge of the couch. You know that couch? Like the L. The L Sex on the couch. At the edge of that couch. I want to fight.

[Monet X Change]

And I said, ooh, this is I live.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, this feels like a private black moment in the corner.

[Monet X Change]

I live.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who would you have chosen?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. To go home? I probably would have chosen Derek. Derek's outfit. Robbie too. They were both, so. But at least Robbie tried more things. Derek's was just threadbear and hideous and just Derek. I would have chose Derek.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I agree. I agree. So we get back from. We get back from Untucked and we find out that the winner of this week's episode is Kim Chi. Kim Chi has scored her second win for the show. And the bottom two queens are.

[Monet X Change]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What?

[Monet X Change]

It wasn't Kimchi.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, who won the one?

[Monet X Change]

It was Naomi Smalls.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, shit, you're right. My bad. Sorry, I forgot. Sorry.

[Monet X Change]

I'm sorry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sorry. I didn't have my notes in front of me.

[Monet X Change]

Sorry.

[Jacob]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Naomi Smalls. Which, by the way, this was a.

[Monet X Change]

And rightfully so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, a very well deserved win for Nami Small. Naomi Smalls turned, turned, turned, turned this look. And then we found the two bottom queens are Derek Berry and Robbie Turner, which makes perfect sense.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. 100%. The draggers got it 1,000% right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think. Honestly, I think all the judging on this episode was spot on. It was all spot on. They were right about it. Everything they're right about. They were right about. They nailed it. They really nailed it. And I think that as soon as we heard that it was. I don't care. We were all like, everyone say goodbye to Robert Turner. She's done.

[Monet X Change]

Why?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because I don't. Robbie Turner can't out lip sync Derek Barry on I Don't Care. It's like a pop princess song. It's like a pop song. And like, Robbie Turner is like, Liza.

[Monet X Change]

As soon as I saw that, Robbie just ripped. He ripped his wig off. I'm like, girl, not ripping the wig off. Every. Everyone in this season lip syncs. They just want to take off every ounce of drag that they have. I'm like, what is wrong with the season 8 girls? Every lip sync, someone is just taking off their shoes, their wig, their outfit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Every episode, it was in the air. It was something in the air, girl. And I mean, oh, my God, we

[Monet X Change]

gotta find out more. Chi Chi rips her dress, rips all her jewelry off. Bob's earrings come off, y'.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All.

[Monet X Change]

The seasoned eight girls cannot keep the articles of clothing on their body, on their lips.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, to be clear, me and Chi Chi did not purposely rip our things off. My earrings fell off. And when. So Chi Chi was wearing this, like, long necklace, but the necklace went down her back instead of her forehead. It was kind of like the gag of it. And when she kneeled down, the necklace wrapped around her heel, and when she stood up, the necklace just snapped, and it kind of made it for an iconic moment.

[Monet X Change]

It did. But the season eight girls cannot keep their drag on them when they perform.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cut to Monet trying to take off her stirrups. Cut to Monet trying to take off Chaps lip syncing with. They were chaps lip syncing with chaps. Where your ankles. Ankles chapped as hell. Cut to. Cut to Monet trying to try to do a wig reveal, but the wig came off too soon. Cut two. Cut two.

[Monet X Change]

But it still works. It was. It was cunt. It was cunt.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I think that. I think a lot of us in there were arguing that maybe Mayhem should have. Should have said, honey, yeah, the haters.

[Monet X Change]

The haters, honey, listen, you sent Dusty

[Bob the Drag Queen]

packet, but I think Mayhem might have gave that ass a little r run. Two. One for her money, honey.

[Monet X Change]

Really? Well, RuPaul would have like to tell you. RuPaul likes to talk to you about it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're Smirnoff would like to have a

[Monet X Change]

word with you,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

bitch. Anyway, so I think that. So Derrick Berry beat Robbie Turner, and I think rightfully so. Robbie did not stand a chance. And Derek really dusted her.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, and Robbie left straight from the studio and started driving Uber. We all know how that turned out. Monet, you are messy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You are very, very messy. Very messy. Very messy. All right, thank you all. I'm really glad that we're watching. Listen, you all let us know which episode. Which, I know it's earlier now, but let us start brainstorming what seasons you want us. Actually, you know what? We're going to officially put it to a vote on our Patreon, and the patrons will decide the next season of Drag Race that we review. The patrons will decide. So what y' all say? It doesn't even matter, actually, unless you're a patron. Nothing you say matters unless you're a patron.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Yeah. So if you want your voice to be heard, bitch, go on the Patreon. Cause that's where we gonna put the poll. And that's where I'll be taking polls on our Patreon.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monet, I love you very much. Top with the microphone.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I love you too, Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why you trying to rush? Where you trying to go? Where you trying to go? Trying to call Andy back. Andy can wait. Andrew can wait.

[Monet X Change]

I have to pee. Oh, my God. I have to pee. I also have not had dinner yet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Honestly, I'm gagged that. That food's head there. I cannot. The restraint. If Jackie could see this. If Jackie could have showed. If you could have showed this to young Kevin, she would be like, not my baby. Nope. Never. Would, never, could never. This is. This is the personal growth for me, Monet. Can y' all please give a round of applause? This is not a little. A little curry goat sneaking Kevin. I am shook. I am. I can. All right, bye, everybody.

[Monet X Change]

Goodbye.
