A
My name is bob the drag queen. And I'm monet x james. And this is sibling rivalry. Y' all ain't ready for this Mother Tucking Watcher, because we have a Drag Race icon in the Mother Tucking building. All the way from Scotland. Glasgow, Scotland, Scotland, we have the fabulous Lauren Chaney. Hey, girl.
B
Oh, my God. Hey. Thank you so much for having me. Money.
A
It's great to finally meet you virtually, you know, I mean, when I heard that Bob was gonna lose his voice and he wasn't gonna be here, I was like, thank fucking God. So we can get some real talent up in here.
B
Yeah. Well. Well, this is the. I feel really bad for Bob having surgery, but it means finally they're not cutting you off. That's the good thing. Bob's not standing on any of your anything. You get to say whatever you want.
A
Lawrence, I feel so seen. You don't understand how much that makes me feel so good. Thank you. Someone gets it. Thank you, Lawrence.
B
I'm a big, big fan of both you and Bob, and I love watching your reviews and the podcast. It's just so funny. And what I love about both of you is you're so, like, honest in, like, a good way. You'll, you know, tell it like it is when you're upset or angry at something. I love, love, love it. So I'm ready to be upset and angry about this episode of Dark Race.
A
There's so much to discuss. But before we start really quick, are you. Because you posted online that you were on your way to America to do some things at World of Wonder. Were they fruitful? Were they fierce? Were they amazing?
B
They were very, very fruitful. Yeah. So, I mean, obviously, in, you know, in Drag Race uk, there's no prize money. We're not all, like, new money where we get a lovely check. But I got three badges and a ticket to Los Angeles, and I. Yeah, it was great. It was great to have nice food.
A
Girl, thank God you said it, because everyone knows I love the uk. Love, love, love the uk. If I. If I did not live in New York City, I could see myself, like, living in London, like, for a life. I, like, love, love London. But, girl, the food, the food. I mean, the food, girl.
B
I heard so many people talking about, you know, the food. So many Americans would say, oh, the food in Britain is really bad. And I was like, I don't know what they're talking about. They're talking shite. And then I literally tasted like. Even a fry in America is actually crispy and nice, you know, Whereas over here, we've got soggy, horrible mushed up.
A
Well, you know, that's because in America, they pump up fucking food filled with antibiotics and shit. That's not good for you. But you know what? My body's accustomed to it. I am bloated and swollen from all the fucking GMOs I'm eating, so I might as well die that way. You know what I mean?
B
Yeah. I mean, I think on the flight back, I weighed about 100 pounds more, but it was worth it. It's worth it. Probably diabetic now or, like, you know, something like that. A little unhealthier, but I love it, girl.
A
Without further ado, let's jump on in, because this episode of Drag Race was wild. Just at the top. I'm so happy they are doing new challenges. We have never seen a challenge like this on Drag Race before. So I was really excited about that.
B
Yeah, I'm really surprised because it's a ballsy challenge. And this is, I think, where the whole Willam controversy came from, because this episode was obviously for the challenge done in one day. And I think that's why people are confused. They think they've heard an episode of Drag Race was filmed in a day, and they've gone, oh, well, the whole season was filmed in seven days or whatever. You know, they really.
A
That shit. I'm like, it's literally impossible to film Dragons in 10 days. It's impossible. But now everyone is running with this. And, you know, once someone says it online, everybody on Twitter is like, well, you know, Drag Race is only filmed in five days. I'm like, it gets shorter and shorter. Yesterday, I heard that Drag Race was filmed in 45 minutes. I was like, mary, literally physically impossible.
B
Yeah. They got RuPaul out of Walt Disney's fridge for 45 minutes. That'll be right. That'll be fucking late.
A
Oh, my God. Okay, okay, okay. So at the fallout, the girls are coming back from the Runway. Obviously, we just saw river and Chorizo have sashayed away, and they get into a spat about who's the funniest there. And Scarlett Harlot. I try my best every episode to see the best in her, that I really want, the best in life for her. But she be saying so. And maybe over there, she's really funny, but she's like, I am known as the funny one. Ru looks at me for comedy. I'm like, bitch, I have seen you be funny for maybe kind of, sorta in a little bit, maybe a challenge. You're not the Funny comedy queen. I'm very confused by this.
B
My. My thing that makes me uncomfortable is I hate when anyone talks, like, about themselves. I hate when they're like, you know, they talk about the storyline in the show and I'm like, yeah, I don't know if, you know, people are like, I'd be cast as the funny one. I'd be cast the fashion. No, you don't know yet until the show is out. But there were so many times I made RuPaul laugh and I knew had a good chance of winning, but I never was like, well, you know, because I'm the top three. I'm that it's like, do not be. You know, oversell yourself, bitch. Undersell yourself. Say that you're a piece of shit. And then people like you. You know, that's why. That's why I cried in every episode of my season. I was like, listen, they've got to know how absolutely fragile I am.
A
Absolutely. And it also comes off so cringy because now Scarlett Harlot is looking. She's so cringetastic. Every time she talks, it just. You look at this. I'm like, ugh, girl, stop talking like that. Now she looks crazy in post because she has sold herself as this thing that we don't see her as, and it's not doing her any favors. I'm just gagged that she went on tv, did that shit, girl.
B
Also, can we discuss the fact I know my accent is strong as a Scottish person? What the fuck is Scarlet Harlot saying? Half of the title.
A
Okay, Lawrence, I don't know. I don't know what weed you picked up in Los Angeles when you were here, bitch. I understand way more of what Scarlett said, bitch. I'm looking at subtitles right now. Talking to you.
B
That's why there's a five second delay. You're like, what is she?
A
No, no, I do agree. She does have. Where is she from?
B
She's from the Isle of Dogs, which is in, like, London. London area. So it's. Yeah, she just speaks very fast. It's that cockney way. And she's like, yeah, because listen. And you're like, wow. Tail that back.
A
Cringe, cringe, cringe. And Ella's getting into this fat with her. And I think Ella, obviously from the previous challenge, Ella is just a funnier queen than her. Ella knows her way around comedy and is set up in a punchline way more than Scarlet does. And she's, like, battling. And Scarlett's trying to battle Ella about who's funny I'm like, girl, you look crazy right now. Everyone watching is, like, ella for the win, please. She's funnier than you. So it's all really weird.
B
Yeah, I'm definitely Team Ella right now as well. I'm definitely Team Ella because her Snatch Game was so amazing. So, so good.
A
Okay, well, here's my thing. Do you think that. Who do you think was better, Ella or Kitty? I. Okay, okay. And I'm partial because everyone who watches know I fucking love Kitty Scott Claws. But also, I know Gemma Collins more like, I watch CBB UK with Jim and Tiffany. So in my opinion, she's, like, turning the Gemma Collins thing on. And I don't know anything about Nigella Larson at all, so maybe that's why. But I thought Kitty was funnier.
B
I get what you mean where Kitty was funnier, because I personally think Gemma is a funnier character, but I think what Ella did with the character of Nigella was, like, fair. So it took almost more work to make Nigella okay, you know, funny in any way. You know, that's why I would maybe give her the win, say, over Kitty, maybe.
A
And that's why you are the crowned queen girl. In your original season, where I had to go back to do it. You did it all in one shot because you can think in a bigger way. I'm very shallow. I'm shallow as fuck, girl.
B
Think in a bigger way. Wow. Did you just fat shame me? Wow. Wow. Bigger way. Wow.
A
So now the girls are counting badges, and Kitty's got claws. Still has no badges whatsoever. Do you think so? Do you think there is a world that someone could win the whole series and never win a badge?
B
I don't know. I think you can win the show without winning the show by your confessionals, by what you say in the workroom. I think there's two different elements to it. You can ace the competition or ace the TV goal.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
Level said, like, Katya, like, aced the
A
TV game for sure. For sure.
B
But then, like Violet Chachka in Alaska, they, like, aced the competition side of it. So there's two different ways I would say.
A
Yeah, yeah, for sure. And Vanity. Vanity is not even gonna throw her name. I think Vanity knows bitches know it. I'm winning. I've been in the bottom twice. My winnings have been crazy. Vanity is just happy to be here at this point. She's like, I'm still here, and I'm just happy to be here. She's not even throwing her name in the ring, which I'm like, good for you, girl. That's. That's a smart decision.
B
Yeah, I definitely agree. I will say she has one of the most gorgeous faces I have ever seen. And her skin is so clear.
A
Beautiful skin. Gorgeous skin, girl. Like butter. Like butter. So Ru comes in and he introduces this challenge. Now, again, I think this is a brilliant concept for a challenge. We've never seen it on Drag Race, and at this point, we get so many seasons of Drag Race a year. Having them change it up like this, it instantly made me feel fresh. I was really excited about the episodes. I'm like, literally, to quote RuPaul, as in season six, the opera glasses. I can't wait to see how this turns out. This is such an interesting thing, and I really was excited.
B
Well, I want to ask you something because you obviously have been on two seasons of Drag Race. You've done loads of challenges. I've obviously been one season of Drag Race. Do you think you could do this challenge? Cuz I'd be fucked.
A
Really? How long does it take you to paint?
B
It takes me like two hours.
A
Really? Okay, see, I'm a 45 minute, er. I painted 45 minutes.
B
No.
A
Yeah, 45 minutes, girl.
B
Cuz I take about half an hour to do, like, pads corset. But I would be fucked. Fuck. They'd be like, your roo would come over the tanner, 10 minutes, everyone. And I'd be like, cut to my crease. It would be grim.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know a lot of girls take a lot of. I paint really fast, but I know a lot of girls. For example, Naomi Smalls takes about three and a half hours to paint. That's how long it takes her. So, yeah, I think I would do well in this challenge, but, you know, we'll get there. But makeup changes and stuff, I would think about that, and that would freak me out. But initially, the first one, I would be good. Then later on, I would kind of be like, oh, God, I would be spiraling a little bit. What I didn't like about this challenge was the ugly part. I hate they did this in season seven when they had to wear, like, the ugly dress, whatever it was, you had to wear the ugly fashion, whatever. I hate that shit. Because the judges, they start saying things like, yeah, it was really fashionable. Where was the ugly? I'm like, bitch, what do you mean? Where is the ugly?
B
Yeah, I hate that, you know, calling it ugly, fugly, fuck, ugly, whatever you want to call it. But calling it that allows it to be so open to interpretation because, say, like, you know, you might wear something and you go, oh, I love this. From the. You know, a charity shop sales rack. And you go, oh, my God, I love this. And I look amazing. Then other, you know, someone else could go, oh, actually, I don't like that I would wear this with that. It's just so. That's difficult. That's really, really difficult.
A
Too much room for interpretation.
B
Yeah, definitely.
A
Yeah. Yeah. And before we get to the Runway, Crystal hits the speed bitch. I can. I mean, granted, she is 19 years old, so that's fair, but Crystal lets us know that she has never done anything. Well, she says she's never done anything sexual.
B
She's never been pumped.
A
I don't know if that includes. She's never been pumped. She's never got pumped. She's never. She's never done anything sexual. And for someone who always oozes sexuality on the Runway, I'm really gagged by that. I'm like, so does she mean that she's never French kissed too? Because I count French kissing as sexual. That gets real sexual in my. Well, when I do it, it gets very sexual. So I feel like she's only done, like, a. And that's it. Which is so wild.
B
I think it's a true testament to drag, actually, of that whole side of, you know, you don't need to be outwardly a sexual person to be sexual. And also, you don't need to be a sexual person to be glamorous and gorgeous and ooze that sexuality. Drag really allows you to change who you are, really. That's kind of the power of drag. So I think that's good. I just can't believe she's not been pumped. Come on. Like, I. Listen, I look like a dog, and I get pumped, like, twice a week. You know, I'm very shocked. Very short. And also, can we appreciate how she was like, yeah, I'm still a virgin. And all the other queens, like, yeah, we've got five minutes to do this makeup, so hurry the up.
A
I know. Oh, that is so shitty. This girl's having her moment about her virginity. Everybody's like, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, whoa. Yeah, yeah. Oh, girl. I was like, aw, Crystal. Poor Crystal. God bless her. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What do you say?
B
Pumped?
A
You mean, like. She's saying she's never. She said she had. She's even like, you mean pumped?
B
I pumped up the arse. Shagged.
A
Oh,
B
it's a very Scottish expression. I do apologize.
A
Yeah. I mean, I'm sure. Especially after this thing airs, boys will Be fucking barreling down Ms. Crystal Versace's door. So she will have her pick of the litter like I'm sure they have been for you as well. So you know what? She will have her chance to do whatever she wants now in the world. The world is her oyster.
B
Yes, the world is her oyster. Come take and eat. Come take a bite.

I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like, I can't stop. I'm addicted. Start your free trial@shopify.com. so now we're getting to the first Runway and the music starts. And here's my thing. I'm like, are we supposed to believe that RuPaul Andre Charles got ready in 69 minutes, girl. Literally never. There's no, like, Ru was just out of drag. And then now 69 minutes later, Ru is in drag. No way I can tell. Ru is an old school queen who likes to take her time. Raven is back to getting it. Like, there's no way it was 69 minutes. I just, I just, I just can't believe it.
B
There is no way, absolutely no way at all. I know that they definitely had 69 minutes to do the makeup. You know, the makeup they did and put on the costume, but RuPaul must have, like, Wonder Womaned it and spun round and just turned into, like, a magical drag queen. I will say, Munni, what did you think of RuPaul's outfit this week?
A
RuPaul's. Yeah. Let's get into these looks, girl. RuPaul's look, it was not my favorite RuPaul silhouette this season. The fabric was in my favor. Favorite either. Yeah, it was fine. I did like the. I will say RuPaul's face. Raven has from, like, for, like, three seasons now. RuPaul's face always looks fucking immaculate. But this dress is not my favorite. What about you?
B
Yeah, I love Rude Ginger. I love that, like, AJ and the Queen Mary Queen of Scots rose vibes.
A
Love it, but I. Oh, God, don't say rose, girl. If you say rose names three times, Bob will appear and say something about white people.
B
But I will say, Rue's outfit literally looked like my grandma's curtains. Like, and, you know, the upsetting thing is the fabric was sequined. Like, it wasn't even literally some curtain fabric. It was sequined dress fabric.
A
Laurel.
B
It was. It was the hair. Amazing face. Gorgeous.
A
Stunning with the dress.
B
Burn it. Yeah.
A
Okay. The lady, the celebrity guest judge, is she. Was she the singer of the Lip Sync song? Like, she from that group?
B
Yes. Alicia Dixon. Yes, she's from the group and she does solo music as well. So I was only familiar with her solo music just because that's what was kind of coming out when I was growing up. So, yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, she did do this song at the end. I was like, oh, yeah, she did. But
A
she was a good guest judge. I like it when I like. Good. She was a good guest judge. I really enjoyed her critiques on the commentary. She was. And she had so much energy. I like when a guest judge has energy. Did not be like a fucking bump on a log or some fucking straight celebrity that no one gives a fuck about. She was engaged, she was happy, she was singing, she was dancing. Like, I really liked her at the guest judge. She was great.
B
I love when the guest judges actually know the show that they're going on to as well. She clearly had watched Drag Race his queer friends or something like that because she knew the vibe where so many of them are like, hello. Yes. And it's just. It's garbage. Garbage.
A
I'll say something. You know, this bitch has been up in Heaven nightclub drunk as fuck on a Saturday morning. Morning, girl. I know I would guarantee I will Bet money on it. For sure.
B
Yeah. With Jeremy Joseph's dog running about. Having fun with that dog.
A
Yeah.
B
Just going at it. Yeah.
A
Oh, yeah, for sure, for sure. Let's get into the looks. So first up, we have Vanity Milan in her fugly swimwear. Now here's the thing. I think this is actually a good take on fugly. And Michelle was saying, like, it didn't work, blah, blah, blah. So here's my problem with this prompt. Right? So this is fugly. No one would wear this quilted thing and to the beach. And the hair, whatever, it's ugly. So I think she did the assignment. But Michelle was like, this is too ugly. Or whatever her comment was. I was like, but that's what y' all asked for.
B
Yeah, agreed. I mean, what I will say is quilted horrible. Especially on like a figure hugging outfit.
A
Yeah.
B
But it's the assignment and it was, it was one of those outfits where it's so wrong. It's right. So again, it's why this is one of those, you know, runways where it's like, how do you judge this?
A
How girl, how? It's very interesting. And like, and like, I think it was like a. Let me start fixing my hair with my toothbrush. Cause I'm, what, sanitary? Yeah, I think it was an interesting, like, I think she, it was such an interesting fabric to use as a, to use for swimwear. And I do see the fit problems, especially when she turned profile. I do see that it was a little bag in the front, a little bag in the back. But looking at the front on, I think it looked good and I think it hit the brief. It was ugly. It was a weird material to use for a swimsuit. And I think it worked. But that's just my opinion.
B
Yeah. I think you could literally come out in a horrible, unfitted, baggy, saggy swimsuit and you could argue, well, it's ugly. So that was the assignment. So it's a difficult one, but I think she looks suitably fugly. Suitably.
A
Up next is Kitty Scott Claus. And again, I agree this is ugly. I would never actually. But here's the thing. Okay. The face hair. Yes. But I did not think that the swimsuit was that ugly. Like, I, I would wear a swimsuit with different animal prints on it. The peplum. Yeah. It wasn't super. It wasn't as ugly as Vanity's in my opinion.
B
Yeah. It kind of flattered her shape a lot. You know, I remember going, wow, her breastplate looks amazing. You know, and she's taking into consideration the straps and covering the lines and stuff. And I was like, oh. But I think what Kitty did was the selling it down the Runway with the fake teeth and the, you know, like, you know, Susan Boyle, you know, all this stuff. And she definitely sold it. But, yeah, I don't know how ugly I would say it is.
A
I have a question. Is Susan Boyle still a thing in the uk? I've not heard anything from Susan in a very long time. I hope she's okay.
B
I've not heard anything from Susan Boyle. She's not texting me back. I'm very upset. I mean, Susan's not been around. I mean, she's non existent now, I don't think.
A
I have a question. Are they selling breastplates at Primark? Because I feel like every fucking queen this season has a breastplate. Are they just, like, selling them all at the fucking Poundland? How does everyone have one?
B
Yeah, they're sending. They're selling them at B M. That's. I. I find it so weird because my season no one had a breastplate and now everyone has a breastplate on this season. And it's because during lockdown, breastplates were really cheap to buy on ebay. They were like £69 you could buy them for. So that's why everyone's. I mean, they probably got like multiple breastplates with them.
A
That makes sense. Everyone has one.
B
Yeah, everyone's got one. And yeah, I mean, kitty's jugs.
A
Oh, huge. That's like an E. Kitty's boobs are. Yeah, yeah.
B
I mean, welcome to the splash zone, I guess.
A
Let's go on to Scarlet Harlot. She is wearing a swimsuit made out of cats. I mean, well, cat print. And her. Yeah, I would classify this as ugly.
B
I mean, it's ugly, but she looks like someone's gran who's, like, in a porno. Do you know what I mean? It is like these, like, shiny tits and then like this old lady wig. I mean, it is ugly. It is ugly. But, yeah. Yeah. I don't even know if I would think of it as swimwear, you know, because of the shoulder.
A
Yeah, that's the thing. That was gonna be my thing. The only thing that swimwear is, like. I think she tried to make, like, a swim cap out of the thing, but with, like, the cut of the thing, with, like, the peplum short, low, high skirt and the shoulders. It doesn't read swimwear to me, so I would critique on that. It's not swimwear, bitch. It's like a little cocktail dress.
B
Also, who the fuck, when they're going swimming, wears a Love heart choker. You're like, oh, wow, I'm gonna go swimming in the ocean and wear a choker. What a great choice, Lawrence.
A
Wow, that's shady. I was gonna go swimming after this. Did you tell me I should take my choker out?
B
I mean, fair play, but just don't blame me if you start choking.
A
And also, who goes swimming with a cat on their shoulder? I would not. Cats don't like water. And she's going. She's going into the pool with a cat.
B
Oh, she's got. What are the nose things called that you wear when you go swimming? She's got one of those on.
A
Oh, yeah, yeah. They're like little things so the water doesn't go up your nose. Yeah.
B
Clips.
A
Nose clippers.
B
That would be me. I'd be wearing, like, a full gown and wear one of those, and I'd be like, swimming. I'm going swimming. That would be why I would suck at this challenge.
A
Same. Same. Up next was Elle of a day in this piece. Now everyone was going off about these shoes, and I guess the shoes were cool. I guess I don't see what story she was telling with the shoes. Did I miss it?
B
I. I mean, I. Maybe because they have ice cream at the beach. You know, like, you would eat ice cream at the beach, and it looks like a, you know, ice cream cone. But if you do look very closely, she's got the tartan print fabric, you know, ruffles. It's the same tartan fabric that she wore in the end. And I. I appreciate that because it's that little nod to it being like, a collection rather than, like, a random piece. I did, like. I didn't even see that.
A
That is smart, though. I did not see that. But that. That's great, actually. I love Vanity did that too. Vanity was clearly. They clearly put two and two together, that these two run. The first and the last were gonna be put together. So Vanity and this bitch Ella, they both were trying to make a collection, which I can appreciate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
B
I mean, that hair is frazzled. Like, Gemma Collins would say that hair is frazzled. So the ends, it's so, so choppy. So I like that Ella's even gone for. Like. Even the hair. I'm gonna have it, like, blown back and, like, you know, mismatched, not perfectly finished. So I do really like that.
A
You know, I've seen Ella's wigs this season. I think she thought it was finished. She thought she Would make. She'd be fierce.
B
She said, I'm gonna wear this for the finale.
A
Girl Yuki kid. She really was. She was. I guess I wear it today.
B
I guess I'll have to. Dammit.
A
And then up next is Krystal Versace in this Creature from the Black Lagoon. Great. She nailed it. This is fugly. She did the makeup. I think Crystal nailed it.
B
She nailed it. And I think the look is amazing, but I think she made her life so difficult for herself. So hard gluing a bald cap. I would have done like a swimming cap. You know, it's rubber as well. A swimming cap.
A
Oh, yes.
B
Pre glued the stuff to that, so you don't need to, you know. So it's like,
A
yeah. I mean, that. That's Nipsey Lawrence. That's why you won the first time, girl. That's so smart.
B
But, yeah, I think this week was a struggle bus for. For Crystal, which was a shame because I think she turned it out in the end. But you could see, like, back. She was like, you know, just really, really.
A
She was going through it backstage.
B
Yeah, definitely.
A
She was going through it. For sure, for sure, for sure. Now let's go on. Oh, so, okay, so now they get done with this Runway, and Ru gives them another brief, and they have to do a charity shop look, and they have 60 minutes on the clock to change.
B
Yeah. And they've got minimum five pieces they had to wear.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
And Charity Shop sue was the guest for this.
A
Please explain. I have no idea who this woman is. She seems very fun. I like her accent, but I'm like, I have no reference of what Charity Shop sue even means yet.
B
Do you know? So you have no idea who Charity Shop sue is?
A
No. Anyone listening in America right now is like, girl, we have no idea who that is.
B
What charity shops? There is this kind of viral. Not in a gynecological way, but she's this viral sensation in the uk. She is known for, like, memes and she's known for little, like, funny videos, which, you know, it's her owning a charity shop and she kind of treats her staff a bit weird. And it's very situational comedy, but it's funny little moments and stuff. So she just became viral and the gays lover, and now she's a guest on Drag Race.
A
That's so weird. I've been viral and a lot of gays love me, and because they love me, I became viral.
B
Yes. Yeah. It's just a domino effect. It just goes on rotation.
A
One might argue that I'm Viral today, currently, because I have been very itchy down there today, so that may explain a few things.
B
Have you scratched and sniffed?
A
Yeah, and it smells disgusting. I would. Let me. You want to smell?
B
Yeah. Ooh, smells like cheese pasta. Ooh,
A
girl, if my pussy smell like cheese pasta, girl, then I'll eat my. I'll try to eat my own ass, honey.
B
Lunchtime.
A
So
B
I was gonna say charity shop. Sue crowned me on my season for our live finale. She did the crowning for it, and it's so funny seeing her in character because she's so, like, OK and so, like, calm and, like, never raises her voice, all that stuff when she's like. Please welcome the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race. What version is it? UK Lawrence Chaney. And she's just crazy, crazy. So she's a match made in heaven for Drag Race. Match made in heaven.
A
Yeah. I definitely liked her energy, and she was really fun on screen. I just didn't know who she was. And also they're backstage changing into these looks, and Crystal all the other. No one else is changing their makeup. Crystal is the only one changing her makeup, and I am two things. I'm like, work. That's very ambitious, and I love that she's doing that. But also, Mama, you have 60 minutes. And. But I guess she's a fast. She clearly is a fast painter. I mean, she did prosthetics and ball caps and things in six to nine minutes and addition to makeup, so she can clearly paint fast. And I think it's really admirable that she's the only one doing it. And I think it's fierce. What do you think?
B
So I commend again, I think that is really good. But what I would have done is because everyone's rushing over to these racks with clothes and stuff and taking what they want. And what happened was Crystal was left with fuck all.
A
Yeah.
B
So what I would have done was I would have, like, sourced my outfit, started putting it on, put on a wig, and then done my makeup in between.
A
Makes sense.
B
You know, I would have been like, let me do a brow. Okay, now I'll put on this now. Okay, now I'll do my liner. Then I would have just, like, really, like, so that if you're told you have five minutes, you know, like, right, this lip needs to be like. And then you just hit the Runway. I think she really could have benefited with using time management.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah. And also, I think some of the girls creative liberties with the five things that they had to wear. You know they were counting jewelry.
A
Oh, absolutely, Mitch.
B
I was like. I was like, fuck that. I'm so glad. Kitty, I think, slayed this one because she cut up, you know, a stuffer and was just ripping things up, throwing it on, and I think that's how you do ugly, charity shop.
A
Oh, yeah, for sure. And then going back to your point, had Crystal done it the way you said, she could have picked outfits or colors that would have worked. Thinking ahead to a third look so that she wouldn't have to change her makeup again. So had she had done what you said, she could have picked something that had blues and greens or something in it that would have compliment the eye makeup for the third one. Just do that, you know?
B
Yeah, totally. Like, and literally, it's charity shop stuff. You can cut it up, you can throw it on, button it. Like, it can be asymmetric and horrible. Like, you could get one shirt and button it to another shirt and stuff. You know, you could really do a lot, and I think she could have benefited from that definition.
A
And also, before we go into the Runway, Charity Shop sue would not stop talking to the girls. Like, they're, like, trying to do kind of like Crystal was talking about her being a virgin. The girls are like, girl, Charity, leave us alone. We have 60 minutes, girl.
B
I would be. Cause listen, drag race, normal drag race is a horrible pressure cooker. So stressful. I cannot imagine someone talking at me for, like, the full hour. I would be furious.
A
I'd be like, shut up, Charity Shop Sue. Damn, girl. And also, that's so crazy that she was a guest. And just literally the episode before Crystal did her as a Snatchkin character. And now seeing Charity Shop shoe in real life and see what Crystal did, girl, Crystal was horrible. She should have been the bottom.
B
Yeah. I mean, Crystal must have been having
A
trauma flashbacks and all that, for sure. All right, let's get into these runways for the second for the charity Shop looks. And right out the gate, Vanity. Milan. I think she looks great. I love this dress. I love the hair with it. I hate the gloves. Why would you throw on these black gloves? I don't even think that's even an item. Because she has the necklace, the belt, the dress, the bracelet. Maybe that maybe. I guess maybe the glove was the fifth thing. Oh, no, the air. I don't know. But those black gloves, I think it makes it look so tacky when it could have been a really fierce moment.
B
I love this dress. I think this dress and vanity is, like, Zoldy for RuPaul level. Like, amazing. And I would be like. If I saw her grab that dress and, you know, the rack, I'd be like, you little bitch. How dare you? But, like, what I'm annoyed at is she, like. She literally only put a belt on it, you know? And I. I did like the hair because I. I can't do hair like that because of my proportions. I've got to have bigger everywhere.
A
I'm gonna mail this one to you when we're done. I think you could pull off a kitty cat.
B
Yeah. Will you send that to me? And your little. Your toothbrush for combing it? Yeah. Yes. Send me that, and I'll show you how it works. But I. I think. I think vanity was amazing. But again, I. I don't know how charity shop or agree.
A
Look.
B
I think it. I think it just looked like, you know, you weighed it to a gig.
A
I would do that for sure. Ugly. That's. Yeah. Valid. Valid, for sure. Kitty Scott Claus. I think she turned it. I love this look. I love how she was ripping stuff. She took the scars, wrapped it around her legs to make, like, the shoe look like ballerina shoes. She would've won her. I think Kitty fucking nailed it. Nailed it.
B
Kitty Scott Claus looks like Mrs. Doubtfire. That is what she looks like.
A
If it's a doubt. If I was a whore.
B
If she was a whore. She looks amazing. I love purple, obviously. I love the color purple, and I think she wore it great here, and I think.
A
Oh, my God. The musical.
B
No, no, no. I just love. No, I love the color.
A
Oh, so you hate.
B
Oh, so.
A
Oh, oh. Oh, so you. So you hate the musical?
B
No, no, But I loved the line look on top, and I loved that she paired it with green, and they're opposites on the color wheel. They match really well. And she did a great job. She's the only one, I think, that actually ticked the box of fully creating a charity shop, like, bespoke, ugly look. I think she looked great. Really, really great.
A
Yeah, I think she was great, too. I think she fucking nailed it. Yeah. Next up next, Scarlett Harlot. Now she looks terrible. I don't know what is. Lawrence, maybe you can help me figure it out. I've been trying to figure out what this bitch does with her makeup. She always looks so. I always hate her makeup. Besides the one where it was the expensive one, I think she looked great every other time in a challenge in a Runway, and whatever. I think her makeup looks. Looks fucking terrible. This is no exception. I think she may be painting her eyebrows too light and this dress is fucking ugly. The belt she put around is fucking ugly. And she wears weird lip. I don't know. I'm so. No, burn it. Hate it. I hate this image.
B
The problem with her makeup, I think, is that she picks up brushes, full stop. No, I think the problem, I truly do think, with Scarlet makeup is she. She's. Painters have way too pale. I think she doesn't know what it is. She doesn't carve anything in. Her brows are very pale. It looks like she does her whole face with highlight, contour, everything, and then just sets it and then like, that's it.
A
Oh, that might be it.
B
You know, there's no depth in her crease. There's no, like, black eyeshadow that goes into the crease. It's all like. Like two dimensional, you could say.
A
Maybe that's what it is.
B
Yeah. She doesn't use any color. Like, no. Pink, green. And, yeah, it is jarring sometimes. But again, I agree with you. I think for the Xpenny Runway, I think she looked. I think it suited what she wore for that.
A
That's why. Yeah, it really suited it. And this look is crazy. I mean, I don't think. I don't think they provided the wigs. This is her own wig, and this wig looks crazy also.
B
I think she's worn this wig for the drag Lexa.
A
I wish she wouldn't.
B
And it was hideous then, and it's fucking hideous now.
A
Yeah. No. And I've really been trying to root for Scarlet, but at every turn, she is fighting me and rooting for her. So you know what, girl? You win.
B
I like her. I think her personality is really fun, and the confessionals is stuff, but personality or not, that dress is fucking manky. Like, I would. If my corpse was found dead in this. I would roll over in my grave, like, grim.
A
And she also. She also has. She also is so tiny. So she had so many things she could have probably, like, cut up or. But you had 60 minutes and this. In 60 minutes, you pulled out this little black dress. You put up that belt around it, and you put those. Those bracelets on, and that's. That's what you did in an hour, girl. No, you. She deserved to go home just for this look alone.
B
Yeah, it really was. Again, I don't want to give her too much of a hard time, because, again, I do. We think. We think it's ugly. I do. So, you know, yes, she's ticked that box, but I don't think this was intentionally ugly at all, because it's Not. It's not garish enough to be intentionally ugly. It's just fucking hideous.
A
Yeah, it's really ugly. You know, and speaking of hideous, fucking. Ella Vadae, Ella Vaday does this thing where she wants to look like an old lady. And I don't understand. Like, I was like, girl, this is. She looks like. She always leans towards matronly. And I don't think Ella is, what, like 27, 28, 29, something like that. Like, why does she always, like, do. She always looks so old?
B
I think. Do you know, the thing is, I think she's gorgeous. Like, facially shot out of drag.
A
Oh, yeah. She's a very handsome man. Beautiful queen.
B
Her figure in drag as well. The pads, the body, the course, it's. It's like. Right. But I think her taste level, she maybe, like, watches a lot of 70s programs or 80s programs. That. Because she looks like a golden girl. Quite a lot like, you know, like Betty White or Bea Arthur or something. Because this outfit. Why would you wear purple hair? I mean, I'm seeing it as. I look like Joseph in the Technicolor.
A
No, you look like fashion. This hair, the coat. You look great.
B
But do you know what I mean? Like, lilac hair with bright Veronica Green gloves. And then like a bluey aqua. A dress is weird. And then a pink belt. I mean, it is just grotesque.
A
Yeah, okay. If she would have. Do you see that, like, seam, like halfway through her thigh? She should have cut the dress there, not worn the gloves, and wore, like a different. And take off that choker. Cause that's not cute either. And I mean, I guess that's taking off items. And the goal is to wear at least five things. But mama, she just. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
B
For me, I love the fact, again, this is what I'm talking about with creative liberties with these girls. She literally threw a bit of fur and it's dangling on her arm, and she's like, that's my fifth piece from the charity shop. I'm like, you're not even waiting it.
A
I know, but, girl, faulty. That would fully be me. I'd be like, real. What do you mean? I have five pieces here, girl. Five, six. Yeah, I seven. What's up, bro?
B
Ru, this was up my arm. Yes, Rue, this was up my arse. I swiffered my teeth with it. What do you mean, girl?
A
That would fully be me. This is a drag race. You gotta play the game. I'm like, oh, y' all want five pieces? I'm about to put five rhinestones from this earring on my eye. What's up? That's five girl.
B
Too, right? I mean, do you know what it is? The hustle. I appreciate it, but. But the look, I do not appreciate.
A
Yeah. I do not appreciate. And you know what? It doesn't appreciate her, to be honest. And Ms. Crystal Versace. Now, again, Crystal did her makeup change, and they read this for being too simple. It is on a simpler side. I don't think it's like, Kitty Scott Claus level, but I'm not mad at it. But Bob has also posed this question. He's like, do we give Crystal a plastic because she's so pretty? I'm like, I don't know. I don't know if I'm actively doing that. But I'm not mad at this look.
B
I am mad at her because she's beautiful, right? But I think she looks gorgeous. But it's like. I don't know. There's something about wearing just, like, a plain color, you know, one color. It's, like, totally not ugly. Like, no effort.
A
You're right.
B
So there is nothing. There's nothing like, charity shop. Escabet.
A
Oh, I have the same dress, and they said they sell it at Primark. I have this dress.
B
Girl.
A
There's nothing charity shop about this at all.
B
Yeah, I think I like that she's paired. The red necklace, red lip, and she's got that red tie around her waist. She does.
A
And the red fishnet.
B
It's maybe a bit. Oh, yes, yes. But I think it's a bit too. Like, she just looks too good.
A
I think that's what it is. She should look a little. A little more charity, as we say in America. I don't know if y' all say this. She should look more homely. Do y' all know the expression homely? Okay, yeah.
B
Yes, Homely. Yeah. Yeah. And even, like, Monet down to her hair. She could have, like, up her hair or she could have done, like, after a night out and, like, skewed her hair and, like, staggered down the Runway and looked like baga. But, you know, she didn't do that. So. She's pretty.
A
She's pretty.
B
She's pretty.
A
You know what? The girl's pretty. You gotta give that. Okay, y'. All. So now they have to go into their third look. And the category for that was. What was the category for that again? It was fugly. But fashion.
B
I always go to final, you know, extravaganza, eleganza.
A
Oh, yeah, for sure. Fugly with fashion. And they have 30 minutes to go into these looks from the charity shop looks. And again, obviously, this is this third one. So the first and the third one were ones that they brought from home, so they know what they're going to wear. But you can choose to change makeup, and a lot of the girls change their makeup. This time. Kitty changes her makeup. Think Vanity changed her makeup a little bit, or. Well, she. She had that long wig, so it's hard to see. She changed her eye makeup a lot, but I think she did. I think Ella did as well.
B
Yeah. I think what happened. I saw Vanity was, like, putting more, like, highlight on her forehead, so I think maybe, like, the fringe let sweat through, so she.
A
Which is so crazy because she wore another heavy bang. You wouldn't see her forehead anyway.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
Girl. Baby Queen. She was doing drag for, like, what, a year? Girl.
B
Yeah, I suppose. Yeah, true. But I. I mean, Crystal had a gorgeous face of makeup on. I would have just got, like, a little bit of glitch and gone.
A
Yeah.
B
Done. She just, again, wiped her eye.
A
Yeah. And I know. And I know y' all listening. Who don't do, like, makeup or who don't do dry makeup, like, wiping your whole eye inside a new one. That's it. It's not as easy as it sounds like. It's like, I know for me, doing my eyes alone, that's like, a solid 20 minutes. 15, 20 minutes alone. So I'm like, yeah, that's, like, a lot. For the third time, the challenge to do your makeup all over again, completely, it's crazy.
B
Also, you have. Because we have black liner and stuff like that there, if we wipe too hard, it'll go into the foundation. It could fuck it all up. So she is mega lucky it didn't fuck her up. And she did look gorgeous. She did look great.
A
She looked. I mean, she looked beautiful. She looked beautiful. I mean, nothing else really happened in there. Shall we go to the looks?
B
Let's go to the looks, baby. Let's go.
A
Looks. Okay. Vanity. Milan. I'm gonna say it. This is, in my opinion, the best she's ever looked on the show.
B
Yeah.
A
And I think it's because of the concept of the look, the material. It is. And I think this is the best that she's looked. It's her entire time on Drag Race. This is great.
B
It's so different from, like, anything we've seen her wear. And I think it was, like, at the right time, we needed to see her look like this, and she just looks really good. Her makeup's really good. Hair's cute. The dress is gorgeous. Gorgeous.
A
Yeah. I think it's really great. But also, I love new queens. Like, vanity has concocted this entire story. She's like, yeah, I'm like a funeral bride of the. Of the abyss. Black neoprene coats of Canada goose. And I'm like, girl, just say I'm wearing black on the Runway, and I'm. You know what I mean? Just like, this whole fantasy fiction. She done bait about this outfit. Girl.
B
Yeah. I genuinely don't know how queens do it. See, whenever I had to describe my runways, I'd be like, I'm wearing purple, and what about, I'm wearing purple, and it's like, you know, you can see my waist, and I look nice. Whereas, you know, on my season, tice was so descriptive. Tis was like, well, mama, I am wearing the best. Girl, you're dripping and dying. And I'd be like, how do these queens, like, have time to think of, you know, what to say when they're walking down the Runway? I mean, it's just crazy. Wild.
A
Yeah. On my season, I mean, I've definitely been guilty of doing the vanity of Milan, but in season 10, in All Stars 4, I was more like you. But in season 10, I was like, oh, and with my ugly ass fucking office in season 10. Right. I had some fucking nerve describing anything, but I was definitely doing the vanity Milan in season 10. And also as for I was like, yeah, girl, I'm wearing angelic white because Rihanna. Woo. Next. You know, it was very that full stop.
B
That's it. That's the point. Yeah, yeah.
A
But Kitty Scott Claus fugly. But fashion. Now I will say, y' all know again, I love my Kitty Scott Claus. This. I don't get the fashion part. It was definitely fugly, and I like the whole story, and I like the reveal and stuff like that. But in my opinion, it was not very fashion.
B
Yeah, I agree with you Totally again, Mrs. Doubt Fire. So I love it. But, yeah, there's no, like, fashion influences. You know, like, when I think of, like, fashion, I think of, like, people like Bimini who have, like, really unconventional silhouettes that. And, you know, and it causes a reaction. You know, when you look at a picture of someone wearing fashion, it causes a reaction in you, and you go, that's amazing. Or you go, oh, I wouldn't wear that. It, like, causes a. I don't know. It causes a tingling feeling inside.
A
Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. What she could have done. And I saw this is, like, what I thought. In my mind, I was like, if she say this exact same thing and made it more like a Dior silhouette like that. Like a Dior skirt with the blue and had, like, the top fit and had the sleeves, like, that would have been ugly. But fashion, that's where my mind went. Immediately when I saw it, I'm like, girl, why did you do that? But, you know, it was. It was cute for her, and I guess it worked because she won the fucking challenge.
B
So, yeah, I will say, Monet, those shoes that she is wearing are fucking hideous.
A
Disgusting. Disgusting.
B
I mean, disgusting. I have literally, I think I have four pairs of those shoes.
A
Why do you have one of those, girl?
B
Because they are disgusting. But they're so good for walking about and so good. You put them under a gown, no one sees them, and you're comfortable.
A
See? No one sees them. But, you know, though, you know, you're like, I'm walking around here in these shoes. How can I even feel beautiful?
B
But that's why I hate myself. Shallow.
A
No, Lawrence, No. Okay, let's go on to Scarlett Harlot. Now, when I was in. When I was living in the UK for those three months, November, January, November, December, January for Death Drop, I started to watch some EastEnders. So I get what she's doing. And again. So the fugly. Yes. But again, like, Kitty, I think she's missing the fashion part of this.
B
This. It's. Yeah, it's. I totally agree with you. It's definitely fugly. It's, you know, ticking the boxes. I love the reference, but it's like a character cosplay rather than, you know, rather than, like, fashion. Yeah, it's. It's just a bit too simple, maybe. I mean, I like the hair.
A
I do like the hair.
B
I think, again, I like the ginger here, but, yes, it's too charactery, I think. But I think the two patterns together look hideous. And, you know, it works for the brain, you know?
A
And the fact that Michelle likes it, it makes sense because she. Her fashion is also sometimes hideous.
B
Sometimes.
A
We're kidding. We love you, Michelle. We love Michelle. We're joking. Y' all would, like, love to make drama. We love Michelle Visage. She's literally the best.
B
We do love Michelle, and we love Ru as well. Even though she was wearing an ugly dress.
A
Oh, no, I didn't say that. I don't feel the same way.
B
But, yeah, I think that the look is good for, like, a challenge, but maybe not for a Runway.
A
Not a Runway look. A challenge. Sure. Runway.
B
Nah.
A
Nah, dawg. Misiny with that Elle of a day. Okay. I am very curious to think, what are your thoughts about this Ella V. Look, I'm very curious.
B
Listen, so I appreciate the use of tartan. I love it. I love it. And you know, a funny thing, When I auditioned for Drag Race in the workroom of the UK workroom, they had tartan on the walls in part of it, and they had no Scottish queens on the show. And I said in my audition tape, I said, rudy, you should really cast someone who calls it tartan and not pug bitch.
A
Yes.
B
I love seeing anyone wear tartan. I love, love, love it. And I think the tartan pieces are cool. It's definitely fashion, you know, it causes you to think about. It's unconventional. I love that. I fucking hate the gloves and the pants.
A
Thank you.
B
This pink pant. I think the pink pant needed to be yellow or purple and higher cut. It's like.
A
And I hated the chaps. I don't like how they fell towards the bottom. So, like, I like this look from the. From excluding the panties, but from, like, the panties up. Like, I like the one shoulder thing. I love the top. And I didn't like the gloves, but, like, the chaps situation, I think. And they were like, oh, my God, this is so. I was like, vivienne Westwood literally would never. She would fucking burn this if someone gave it to her. I was like, this is Westwood. Okay, maybe Westwood inspired. Not Westwood, though.
B
I am so over.
A
Say it
B
over. People. People saying when someone wears tartan in any shirt or whatever, they go, oh, my God, it's Westwood. No, it's not. It's not.
A
I hate that anyt. Somebody got tartan on. I'm like, oh, it's so Westwood. I'm like, is it, though? Is it?
B
It's so, like, it almost belittles, like, all the amazing work that Vivienne Westwood has done as, like, a designer. Because, like, wearing a plain tartan shirt isn't Westwood.
A
It's not. And, you know, and at the viewing party, I watched that Vivian was there, and she agreed that this was not very hero her. Wait, is. Is she still alive? I don't even know if still alive. I'm just talking.
B
She. She is. She is still alive, I think.
A
Okay.
B
She's got a pulse.
A
Okay, Vivian, if you're watching this, can you please comment below and let us know what you think about this outfit?
B
Yeah. Takes me back. Takes me back. No. What do you make because of I. Watching you and Bob talk about this season? What do you think of Ella's hair girl?
A
And then this is why this is my problem with Ella. I feel like Ella oftentimes has crunchy wigs and this wig was so crunchy. It did not fit this look. And then also. But then again, with this stupid brief about fugly but fashion, I don't know if she wore this wig to be the fugly. And a prompt like this leaves so much to be desired and so much to decipher. Like, I'm like, this wig was. No, I did not like this hair. It was so ratty at the bottoms especially.
B
Yeah, it's just a bit like, I don't know, it's not intentionally ugly enough.
A
Right. You know what? You're right. Yeah.
B
It's not part of the look. You know, it's not the artistic expression. I think because of the asymmetry of what she was wearing, the hair should have been asymmetric as well or choppy or, you know, something like that. I think it was too Barbie doll, but like a Barbie, like, fucked in the woods, you know, like fucked in a field, hair everywhere. There's probably a branch and some, like, grass in her hair or something, you
A
know, Barbie fucked in the woods. You better. Yeah, I don't like this hair. But again, oftentimes I look into Ella's hair and I'm like, girl, that wig, really. So this is. I will say Ella is right on brand for Ella. She is really working hard on the branding with her fucked up wigs.
B
Yeah, she's doing it for the fucked up wigs.
A
She's doing it for the fucked up wigs. And next, last but not least, is Crystal. Oh, my God. Crushed it. Literally the epitome of. Of fugly but fashion.
B
One million percent. I love this.
A
So good.
B
I. And it's so weird because when I was thinking, what would you do for fugly but fat, you know, what would you do? That hair, this. What do they call it? Like, pom pom Poodle hair is so that epitome of, like every color.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, on the planet. On your head. And it is one of those, like, so wrong, it's right things. And she got it right. I mean, like the boots, the attention to detail, the boots. One boot has the eyes on it, the lips. It, like, really tickled my pussy. It was amazing.
A
Yeah. Yeah. It was really, really, really good. Hey, y'. All, just so for anyone listening and you want to see this, this video will be on YouTube the Wednesday after it comes out. And then if you want to see the full thing, it's on our Patreon. If you Want to see the look? Cause I know some people listen to this, and they don't even watch the show, and they come like, I don't want it to hear. So in case you wonder what the fuck we're talking about, go to Patreon for the full video and YouTube for the first 20 minutes. I mean, for our little shortened one.
B
Or Monet will get Vanity Milan on this. To actually describe everyone's Runway looks and just describe it in exact detail for all of the listeners out there. That's what we'll do.
A
Absolutely not. So now they finished their Runway looks, and Ru asks each girl who besides theirs is their favorite, and none of them say crystal, bitch, y' all are haters. Y' all are fucking haters. The fact that none of y' all said Crystal, y' all are a bunch of hating ass bitches. Cause she looked the best.
B
I will say I think it was amazing that Ru asked, you know, a positive question, because normally it's the, who do you want to go home tonight? And why? But I loved that it was, like, quite an uplifting one where you could be like, oh, my sister looks amazing. Love that.
A
Yeah, that's right. Drew wasn't like, whose outfit is a piece of shit? Whose tight smell the worst backstage? Whose mother left them and should have fucking aborted them? I'm surprised he didn't say that.
B
Well, you know, they might have, but, you know, But I loved that that was the question that Ru asked. And I am shocked that no one said Crystal. I am really shocked, because I think Ru said, what was your favorite look? Not series of looks or who was the best? All in all, in the Runway, I would have been like, yeah, Crystal, maybe that charity shop look wasn't so good, but this look is. Is amazing. And. Oh, my God. Amazing, Amazing. But, yeah, I mean, everyone just went for
A
someone said vanity. I think Kitty said Vanity. Someone said Kitty. Someone said Ella, but no one said Scarlet. I think someone did say Scarlet. They all literally said each other except Crystal. If I was Crystal, I would have been like, my favorite one beside myself is myself. Cause I'm the last one going. And none of them said me, so they're all fucking jealous. I'm gonna say me. RuPaul, thank you so much.
B
Yeah. Do you think. Because I. Listen. I've been contestant on Drag Race and Jealousy. I got jealous of people if they won a challenge and stuff. I think the girls are intimidated by Crystal, clearly.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, so I think you can definitely see that, because even when. Even if you don't like someone. Personally, I do believe in giving people their dues of, like, you look amazing, babes. This look was phenomenal. Yeah, I think someone was a bit crazy for not seeing Crystal.
A
Oh, for sure. I think also in the back of their mind. Cause, you know, at this point, this is when the psychology of the game really starts to fuck with you, and you think there are eyes in the walls, and RuPaul's and the eyes and RuPaul's pictures are following you around the rope room. That's when you start getting crazy. And I think they were like, if we say that Crystal had the best, that might edge her to win this challenge, and then that'll give her three wins, I think, maybe.
B
Oh, yes.
A
You know,
B
listen, that always annoys me because, like, RuPaul isn't going to listen to your opinion. Like, RuPaul just asking a question. Like, RuPaul's not gonna go. Well, I was gonna give Crystal win, but actually, see, because Vanity said she's shy, I'm actually not gonna let her. Like, RuPaul's not doing that.
A
Yeah, you're right. But, girl, girl, you know Drag Race makes you crazy.
B
Yes, it does. Yes, it does.
A
It makes you crazy. Sorry. Let me fix these little hairs right here. Okay. Condragulations. Finally, Kitty Scott Claus wins a challenge. She gets her repeater patch. I am so happy for Kitty. Full disclaimer again. She's my. I want her to win so bad. I fucking love. I think she's so funny. I think she's been such a joy to watch this entire season, and having her win this challenge and finally having a repeater badge, putting her in a real shot at winning, I'm very happy for her.
B
I loved seeing how happy she was and shocked as well. She was like, oh, my God. It just reminds me so much of me because whenever Ru said launch for the winners challenge, I did not think I would win challenges or anything. So it's just so nice to see someone not being cooking just be so happy in the moment. And she's so funny. I really. I think she turned it this week. Really?
A
I think she did, too, but she's done it a lot, and there were other ones I thought she should have won that she hasn't. So, I mean, I think I'm very happy for her, for sure.
B
Yeah.
A
And then the bottom two queens are Scarlet Harlot and Vanity Milan. And rightfully so. I mean, all in all, is it okay? Do you agree with. With the. With the. With the bottom two queens, or is there Anyone you would swap out?
B
No, I. I mean, I totally agree, Totally agree. I think I. I agree with something Michelle said. Michelle was like, oh, I. I love that you've stepped up. I just think it might be a bit too late. And I was like, yeah, we're like, episode 705 or whatever. Like, you need to get it going, you know?
A
Yeah, Yeah. I think it might be a little too late for Vanity, even though I don't think she. She did poorly this episode. I definitely think Scarlet was the worst of the night in, like, her looks. But Vanity, I think it's only five girls left and everyone's doing a pretty good job. So you kind of, like, fucked a little.
B
What did you think, Monet, of? You know, in Untucked, there was that drama of Scarlett on the main stage, said
A
Anubis.
B
She said, oh, my God, you look like Anubis. Anyway, Kitty, you look amazing. She said that. I was shocked because I thought she was gonna say, oh, even though she looks like Anubis. Oh, I love. You know, she looks amazing. I thought she would say something like that about Crystal, but then she just went, oh, my God, Crystal, you look fucking crazy and you look like Anubis. Anyway, Kitty was the best. I was shocked. What do you think of. So Crystal was very, like, upset or offended by. What do you make of that? I mean, would you be offended? What do you think?
A
Well, you know, now that you broke it down like that, I could see why Crystal was upset. But I remember watching it, I was like, crystal is not that big of a deal. She just said, you look like Anubis. Like Anubis. And to be fair, the hair was very similar to what Anubis wore, episode one. So I was very confused as to why she was so upset. But I think Crystal was more upset that she just liked what you said. She's like, oh, you look like Anubis. Anyway, this piece of shit on the floor was the best look tonight. So I think that's why she was upset about it. And now that's connecting for me. But watching the episode, I was like, crystal, you are too up in your feelings. It's not that deep. Calm down. You're wearing similar Anubis hair. But I think. Do you think Scarlet was being shady by doing that, or she was trying to be the funny girl? Yuck, yuck, yuck. RuPaul. She looks like Anubis. I think she's trying to be the funny girl.
B
Yeah. I think we've clearly found from the conversation Scarlet had at the beginning of the episode in the Fallout, she. She is thinking she's like the funny one that makes Rue laugh. And, you know, she did. She did make RuPaul laugh and has his Macaulay Coke and all that stuff. But I know from making RuPaul laugh, there is a time and a place for it, and just before you're about to get eliminated and maybe wouldn't dice with it. I. I do. I do think Crystal would was overly offended, you know, because she didn't say. She didn't say you look like the worst piece of shit, but she just said that you look like a drag queen from our season. It wasn't that deep, but I listen, I've gone crazy at Drag Race. I get why Crystal might be in her feelings, so I get it.
A
Yeah. Yeah. And then. So the bottom two are Scarlet and Vanity and Bitch. Vanity gave the best lip sync of the season. So fucking good.
B
I would even say, bar, like, Tayce's performances on my season, I think Drag Race UK's lip syncs are always a bit, like, weaker because our culture is less about culture in the uk for drag is singing or comedy or stuff hosting. It's not lip syncing. So I was like, like, gagged at Vanity's performance. And I would say it's like one of the best performances of draft of the franchise.
A
You know what? I agree. Now people make fun of me. Cause I watch your season through Instagram. Like, I watched the runways and I watched, like, the challenges. I didn't, like, watch it, like, every week. People are like Monet. And everyone says how your season is the best season of Drag Race uk, which. So I need to, like, watch it through and through. But so. So I've seen. I've seen a bunch of the lip syncs on it. And I will say, yeah, I do agree that this. That this. This Vanity lip sync of the. The Cats one, I think was more dramatic, and that's why people liked it so much. But this was just like a fierce. She knew every word, every breath. The. The. The. The fucking spins. Like, she did like, a triple. I was like, bitch, you better do a fucking triple. You better do a triple lutz on these sluts and let them have it. And yeah, I. My only thing I hate when bitches bust out 14 splits. I'm like, you don't need 14 splits to make the song to make the lip sync fierce. And I think she split twice too many. But the first one was really impactful because it was kind of. It was kind of like, in slow motion. I was like, oh, shit. And then she just did, like, three more. I was like, all right, too much. But it was still a really good lip sync.
B
I felt really bad for Scarlet because I know how much. No, that sounds so bad. I felt really bad for her because, you know, maybe if it was a different song or maybe if the, you know, it had gone differently on the Runway, or if it was different challenge, maybe she might have. You know, she might have had a chance, maybe. But, like, this was.
A
Girl. There was no way.
B
From the. From the first beat of that song, I was like, nah. I mean, nah.
A
She did the reveal. She had a reveal. She. It was. It was. It was a rap. As soon as the downbeat, it was a rap. They even. At one point, Scarlet Vanity was doing something, and Scarlett just looks at her. She's like. And I was like, word girl.
B
Well, I was shocked that Vanity had something on under there because I'm lazy. I would have done, like, a RuPaul and had my sweatpants under there. I would have had, like, you know, Kitty Scott Claus's shoes. I would have had all that on. Where's Vanity? Just clearly had thought it wasn't the best week for her.
A
And, yeah, she turned it.
B
She was amazing.
A
She turned it. She turned it. And with that, we see Scarlett Harlot sashaway. But Scarlet walks. Scarlett gets eliminated with a lot of pride. She's not like, her tail is not between her legs. She's not really sad. She's like, I came, I did the thing. I'm not gonna win. But, like, I had a good time here and I can. I can respect losing Grace.
B
Yeah. I think whereas we'd seen quite a cocky side to her before, it was nice to see her be quite, like, humble and like, oh, thank you so much for everything you've done for me. And that's. That's why at the end, when she was like, you ain't Mom. Yes, I am. We were like, yeah. We were like, oh, that's sweet. Oh, what a lovely full circle moment. We were able to be in on the joke with her a bit more because you. She. She was just nice in that moment. And you were like, oh, it's a shame you're going. But, you know, goodbye, letters, goodbye wet lettuce, you know?
A
Yeah. In that moment, I almost forgive them for all the rude, nasty things she did in the tea. Like, you know what? It's okay, Scarlett. Now, you know, I forgive you for all the rude, nasty things you said. Bitch, I like you again.
B
I mean, what a good way to go out.
A
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And that's. That concludes our watchery episode with the fabulous Lawrence Chany. Lawrence, I have had such a blast doing this with you. I mean, Jacob, can we just chop Bob for the. Oh, not my computer falling over.
B
Hold on.
A
Look at that. Karma. Lauren, this has been so fun. Would you come back and do another one?
B
Yes. Oh, my God. I love both of you. And I. Honestly, it means so much to me to be here. I love talking shit about drag queens. So I'll be back.
A
Okay, perfect. Y', all, this is the current mother tucking reigning queen of the uk and no, we're not talking about Queen Elizabeth. We're talking about motherfucking Lawrence Chaney. She the one who is Lawrence. Oh, wait, let me say Lawrence. Lawrence Cheney.
B
Yes.
A
Yes. Bob could literally never. Honey. Thank you so much for being here, Lawrence, and we will see you soon.
