Monet X Change
My name is bob the drag queen. And I'm monet x james. And this is sibling rivalry. So back to this bitch has so much to say with her big old black friend from. We're here. What's up? What's good? Layla McQueen. Yeah.
- [00:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
What did we say? What did. What did you make up that we said?
- [00:36]
Monet X Change
Ladies and gentlemen, on Sibling Watchery, we have the pleasure, the astute pleasure of having the very fabulous Layla McQueen in the house. Hey, girl.
- [00:47]
Bob the Drag Queen
Hey. Hello, Mona Xchange.
- [00:51]
Monet X Change
Monetary exchange.
- [00:52]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm happy to be here. Very excited.
- [00:55]
Monet X Change
I'm so happy you're. I'm very happy you're here. I will say I came onto this call, Leila. In my mind, you're, like, on, like, a chaise chair with this yellow fur drapes over you, or your lips are freshly pumped, and you're just living your life as a kept woman.
- [01:12]
Bob the Drag Queen
We are going to continue that fantasy and not let someone know that I'm sitting in a creaky chair, sweating in my apartment with no sunlight,
- [01:23]
Monet X Change
you know, Layla, before we start, I wanna officially apologize to you, because if y' all don't know, Layla McQueen was recently on Sibling Rivalry, and I'm not supposed to be saying this, but I'm gonna say it anyway. At the request of Bob the Drag Queen, her camera was disabled, so there is no footage of Layla on the podcast. It's just a picture we have to put in post because Bob asked to put her camera off and you didn't know that. I wanna be honest with you. Yeah.
- [01:51]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, no, of course. Yeah. No, it's cool. No, it's fine. Yeah. No, no, no. Not upset by it.
- [01:58]
Monet X Change
We had some technical difficulties, and Layla's image was not on camera. But listen, Leila is a very good friend of Bob. Layla.
- [02:06]
Bob the Drag Queen
That is what happened to me on Drag Race season eight. I was there for, like, six episodes, but the cameras just conveniently were not working when they were on me. Can you believe Growing Pains?
- [02:20]
Monet X Change
Shall we jump right on in, Layla?
- [02:22]
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's do this shit, bitch.
- [02:24]
Monet X Change
The things that I'm noting from the fallout. Ella. Ella says to Vanity, I think she goes, I never seen someone so proud to be so fugly. I was like, bitch, you are one to talk. Now, no shade. I like Ella, but Ella is not, I will say, one of the most glamorous or most pretty or beautiful contestants. Not her trying to shade someone for being ugly. I'm like, bitch, look in the mirror,
- [02:44]
Bob the Drag Queen
Ho, Girl, she's a brick. Brick and grout, girl. She is.
- [02:54]
Monet X Change
Damn.
- [02:54]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm sorry. Ella coming in hot.
- [02:56]
Monet X Change
That is Layla coming in hot.
- [02:57]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's so rude. That's so rude. Rose and Tina Burner are Brick and Grout. Ella's just Brick.
- [03:03]
Monet X Change
This is true. Yeah. Ella's just Brick. Yeah. I like Ella, but something about the fallout in new seasons, I feel like in older seasons. Yes. At the top of the episode, there's always a little bit of shade. Especially season eight when they came back from the paint drip from the neon Runway and Bob and Derek had that iconic fight about memorable drag. Whatever. But I think people just really wanted to sound off into fallout and just really try to hurt bitches feelings. And I'm like, you know, guys, we can be friends and still throw the fun shade.
- [03:33]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, it's wild to me that. Especially uk. Cause you know how Brits are where they love to be the most sarcastic, rude people, but also the most apologetic people.
- [03:44]
Monet X Change
Yes, yes.
- [03:45]
Bob the Drag Queen
So the episodes are always so overly pointed and then like, but I just love you, babes. I'm so happy you're here. I knew this would be the top four. I envisioned
- [03:59]
Monet X Change
that being said. No shade, y'. All. I'm not trying to shade Vanity, but I am a little gagged that Vanity is in the top four. No shade. Janet is doing a decent job, but the fact that Vanity is the top four, I'm like, a little like, wow, I did not anticipate this, but good for you.
- [04:16]
Bob the Drag Queen
Good for her, girl. I didn't either. Good for her. She really got on up there. It does gag me that, like, Kitty finally won and she's happy she won. I'm happy she won. I thought she should have won a couple challenges that she did it, but that's just me. But then Ella is like, so, like, oh, God, Kitty won't shut up about a badge and now she gets to pick the teams. Oh, she just won't shut up. I'm like, bitch, the fuck. The MO of Drag Race UK is for y' all to get a badge and not shut the fuck up about it. Every episode they're like, yeah, so we all got them. But you don't. Every season. Every episode they go, okay, guys, let's do a recap. I still have one badge. You still have two. Oh, you still have zero? Like, none every episode.
- [05:05]
Monet X Change
Yeah. They haven't stopped giving shitty Kit about shitty Kit. They haven't stopped giving Kitty shit about not having a badge. And now that she has one, she's celebrating it. They're like, alright, enough. I'm like, y' all have Gone out of your way to let her know. Oh, yeah, bitch. And you don't have one. So, yeah, I'm a celebrate ho exclusively every episode. Yeah.
- [05:26]
Bob the Drag Queen
Only every single one?
- [05:27]
Monet X Change
Yeah, for sure. And also a little fact. Crystal Versace is the youngest person in Drag Race herstory to make the top four.
- [05:37]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's a gag. Good for her. For the first time in Drag Race herstory,
- [05:45]
Monet X Change
T T T T T T T. All right, then. There's enough for the fallout. Then we come in. There wasn't a mini challenge, which I personally like. The mini challenges, I don't think they're necessarily there to add the most whatever, but they just give the episodes more substance. They don't do them oftentimes in All Stars. A lot of people don't like them. I like the mini challenge. Did you like mini Challenges on season eight? I know you only have, like, two of them.
- [06:09]
Bob the Drag Queen
Drag me.
- [06:10]
Monet X Change
I didn't mean that in a shady way. I didn't mean that. I mean that shadowy.
- [06:15]
Bob the Drag Queen
Drag me.
- [06:17]
Monet X Change
I didn't mean that shady. Oh, my God.
- [06:22]
Bob the Drag Queen
I enjoy the mini challenges. Cause usually they add some sort of levity and have a lot of. I feel like a lot of memorable things come from mini challenges also. And also very memeable things. So I do appreciate a mini challenge, but this season was filmed in 30 minutes, I heard. So that's why we're cutting all mini challenges.
- [06:43]
Monet X Change
Girl, I know this is 10 days and last week we had Lawrence Chaney, who, though she was not on this set season. Lawrence Chaney is the uk and she kind of. She has a little more insight to how they operate Drag Race 3. And she confirmed, also, there's no way it was filmed in 10 days. It's impossible for Drag Race to film in 10 days. Also, now we're no shit spoiler alert if you didn't watch the whole episode. But bitch. They have spent episodes not sending bitches home. Like, they clearly did not film the fucking show in 10 days. So if you are listening to this and you still think Drag Race UK season three was filmed in 10 days, you're a fucking idiot. It was not. There's no way.
- [07:15]
Bob the Drag Queen
Not you outing Lawrence's NDA with World of Wonder. Yeah, she was on the show. She told me everything. Also, not to get ahead of myself, but also this episode, next week's preview, is not the final episode. There's still another episode before the finale.
- [07:37]
Monet X Change
Girl. Girl. When that fucking trailer came out for next week and it was a regular episode, I was like, come Drag Race, start dragging this shit. Out Crown, Kitty, Scott, Claus, and let's just move on. Can we please wrap it up, girl? This challenge. This week, they introduced a challenge, and it's the first acting challenge of the season. Am I right? This is the first one all season long.
- [08:05]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, they had to do those, like, drag Lexa, but was that more improv? I guess that wasn't improv. They didn't get a script.
- [08:11]
Monet X Change
It was a script. Yeah.
- [08:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
And then did peloton. What are we considering the peloton challenge? Like, a waste or an acting challenge? A dancing challenge.
- [08:22]
Monet X Change
I wanna say it's like a improv dancing challenge, if that's the thing.
- [08:27]
Bob the Drag Queen
Sure. So, yes, I'll agree with you. If my memory serves me right, this is the first scripted acting challenge.
- [08:36]
Monet X Change
Yeah. The first kiss of one. And, like. And this season, they haven't had a. Besides. Cause everyone actually. No, the drag. Like, someone's more of a branding challenge. There hasn't been a proper improv one. So be considered acting like a bossy Rossi or something like that. They haven't had one like this. So that's why it feels like we're so late in the season. We're like, what, episode eight now? Whatever it is. And that seems really late. Normally there's one in the first four episodes, so you can see who that typically. So this does feel. This does feel very far.
- [09:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
They be switching shit up over there.
- [09:09]
Monet X Change
And then now for this, Kitty gets to pick the order because she won last week's challenge. And I love it. I think it's a great strategy. She's being shady. She was like, this is what I want, and I want to give everyone roles that I think they'll suck at. And I'm like, yes, play the game, bitch. That's how you play the game. And I did see this online. Some people were upset about that, but I think she's playing the game well. What do you think?
- [09:29]
Bob the Drag Queen
People online, they stay upset always. I am really into this, like, this new era of Drag Race where they say I get to pick the teams or I get to pick the roles. Audition for me. You want it? Yeah, audition for it. I'm really into it. And the fact that she made a little side. You hate it.
- [09:48]
Monet X Change
Yeah, I think, bitch, I'm not auditioning for you. I said this. If it was something like this, I would say, no, this is the role I want. And when I say audition, I'm gonna say, no, bitch, you're not fucking RuPaul. I'm not auditioning for you. This is the role I want. Do I have it or not.
- [10:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, listen, if I was in this situation, if I was there on set, I would full ass Kandy muse that shit and be like, I already highlighted it. It's mine. Honestly, I already learned the first three lines. It's mine. I. I would do that. As a viewer, I am enjoying watching them, make them audition for each other. This is sure viewer. I'm like, oh, I don't have to deal with this. Hysterical. And the fact that she had little tiny old lady reading glasses with like a little. That was funny to me.
- [10:33]
Monet X Change
More reasons why I love Kitty. Also, if you're watching this, wondering, wow, Monet's makeup looks weird. That's because I'm doing this thing. I am like, I am on a break. So I'm like resetting my makeup with my powder. So that's why I look a little strange. But you know, I still look prettier than Bob. And that's a fact. Well, prettier than Bob. Unlike when Layla paints. When Layla paints Bob, the beauty's comparable. I would say.
- [10:53]
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you.
- [10:55]
Monet X Change
Thank you.

In this audition thing, Vanity is from the fucking uk. How does she not know how to do other UK accents? I feel like that's like an American not being able to do, like a. Like every American pretty much can do, if not a good one, a decent kind of sort of country accent or something like that. She can't do it at all.
- [12:41]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, fully. Well, also, people in America, like, when we were filming, we're here. We'd be in some of these places. Like, we'd be in Indiana, and they would have Southern accents. I'm like, y' all weren't Indiana. I don't understand what's. Yeah, y' all with the movie. Y'.
- [12:58]
Grow Therapy Ad Voice
All.
- [12:58]
Bob the Drag Queen
Y' all the creative folks filming that movie, ain't ya?
- [13:03]
Instacart Ad Voice
Everywhere.
- [13:03]
Monet X Change
The guy. The guy could look at y'. All. Faggot. Yes. And be like, oh, yeah. They're definitely not camera people or group people. They're definitely the creative team. They're like these fags walking around Wawatosa, Indiana.
- [13:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
Y' all are just so creative.
- [13:17]
Monet X Change
Creative. Well, you know, I think. I think it's because we're Northeasterners and Northeasterners. Comment below. We just. I think we, as Northeasterners, we don't realize how far up the south goes. Like, in my mind, I thought the south stopped at, like, South Carolina, bitch. People have Southern accents all the way up through, like, Trenton, New Jersey. Okay.
- [13:36]
Bob the Drag Queen
But I just don't think that makes them, like, the fact that they. Madonna had a British accent. You and Michelle are on the brink of having British accents sometimes.
- [13:46]
Instacart Ad Voice
Well.
- [13:47]
Monet X Change
Cause I'm British, so that makes sense. I'm British, girl. If you were doing this, which role would you have wanted?
- [13:56]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, God, I don't know. Cause I'm not into this at all.
- [14:04]
Monet X Change
I would have wanted the baby yolo. I would have wanted baby yolo. And I would have played it very. I'm like, yeah, I would have spoke like Yoda. I would be like, podcast. I do not. I would have done something like that.
- [14:15]
Bob the Drag Queen
I do think that the baby YOLO one, it gives you more opportunity to be a little more ridiculous. I mean, you don't have your whole body, but, like, I could get into that. Or, like, the sluttier one.
- [14:27]
Monet X Change
I'm not good at, but that's funnier.
- [14:29]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not good at memorizing lines. So one with not a lot of lines.
- [14:34]
Monet X Change
Got it.
- [14:34]
Bob the Drag Queen
I guess YOLO didn't have a lot of lines, but still was a potential steam sealer. So I would. I would go with the baby.
- [14:40]
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, bitch. I learned from All Stars 4. When Monique Hart took the role from that. That, like, switched. That, like, flipped the switch for me. When Monique Hart got the role of the bitch that fell out the window, and she was in the scene for, like, five seconds, and it was, like, a big scene. I was like, that's so smart. You make a huge impact. You're fucking funny, and then you're out of there. I like in it. I'm like, that's the way to go.
- [15:03]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, agreed.
- [15:05]
Monet X Change
Down, mama. Wait, can you do a Southern accent?
- [15:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I do a Southern accent? I mean, besides what I just said, like, not really. I. Are you being prompted to ask me to do it again?
- [15:19]
Monet X Change
Besides the fact I said that I fucking can't. Besides the fact I said I fucking can't. You hard of hearing, bitch? No. Okay. Heard, Layla?
- [15:28]
Bob the Drag Queen
Heard. Yeah. Check your corded headphones. Can you hear me over there?
- [15:37]
Monet X Change
All right, shall we go into the filming of Bra Wars? Which, I'm not gonna lie, it took me a second to get it. I was like, oh, like Star wars got.
- [15:46]
Bob the Drag Queen
Took you a second to get it after Baby yolo and Bra wars, and they're in a spaceship.
- [15:54]
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah,
- [16:01]
Bob the Drag Queen
It's the delay.
- [16:02]
Monet X Change
Yeah, you're right. It's the delay. Let's. Let's play the delay. Layla, you look so cute. Your lips just look so juicy and plump. And these. This. This jewelry and the fur. Yes, girl.
- [16:15]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not in drag, but I had to be, like, really faggy at least, you know?
- [16:24]
Monet X Change
Okay, so filming Bra wars, these acting, drag race acting challenges in the moment, I can never tell because obviously we're seeing them filming the show, so you can never tell how good or bad it's gonna be. But this doesn't seem terrible. It seems fine. And they're filming it. No. What I do know is that no one is struggling. No one is, like, out is, like, doing well. Okay, that's not true. Crystal struggles, but Michelle really does a good job of kind of, like, rein her in and helping her process it.
- [16:55]
Bob the Drag Queen
On that note, I am gonna say this. I really love it when Michelle directs the acting challenges. Or, like, I like it when Michelle directs, because I think Michelle is still good TV and sassy and naturally funny without trying to. And I think she actually gives the girls really good advice because she wants them to do better. So sometimes I feel like when Carson and Ross are directing these challenges, they don't always help, or at least it doesn't come off that way in the final edit. Like, it does seem like they kind of just like, joke with them too much and go, okay, if that's the way you want to do it. I'm like, you're, like, kind of setting them up for failure a little bit. Yeah, I don't feel that way, Michelle.
- [17:38]
Monet X Change
I agree with that. I think that's a fair assessment. I will say. I think that ever since H and M Gate, I feel like. Which was just one season ago, but there have been some Drag Races and other franchises before this one that the judges or RuPaul is definitely the judges. And Ru. They're making a better effort to be more constructive in their criticisms as opposed to just saying, you really gonna do that? Okay. So after that, they really tried their best to help the dolls.
- [18:11]
Bob the Drag Queen
I can see that. I can see that.
- [18:13]
Monet X Change
Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, no one is. No one is terrible. I worry about Ella a bit. I don't. I think her character. I don't like that character. I mean, I know she can't help with the lines, but I think that the Darth Vader character is kind of whack. I don't find it very funny. And in these challenges, the goal is to always have the funniest bit. You want the judges to walk away and being, like, laughing at your bit, because then you're gonna win. And I don't think hers is very funny, and everyone else is a good job of making it funny.
- [18:40]
Bob the Drag Queen
I just. I don't want to come out here acting like I'm some writer or anything, but I just don't think it was, like, that hysterical or that written, like, amazingly. It was like another. It was another. Okay, let's just get a couple random gags in here out of nowhere.
- [18:58]
Monet X Change
I don't know. Yeah, I did not laugh a lot when I saw this acting challenge. And I don't know if that was the queens or the other writing, but I'm leaning towards the writing.
- [19:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I am, too, because I do think that Ella and Kitty and I think most of them have, like, good comedic timing for the most part. So I'm like, yeah, no, yeah, it was me. It was whatever. It was not anything wild. I was like, but they put another fart joke in there. I'm like, girl, have Michelle say once on this show that she's like, someone made a fart joke and then have 30 other episodes based on fart jokes. And Michelle's like, I can't get enough.
- [19:42]
Monet X Change
Yeah, that was really it for Brawards. For me, they didn't spend a whole lot of time showing it. So I think that's all that stood out for me. When they're getting ready for the main stage, they have this big talk about PDA and vanity talks about having PDA with her boyfriend or her husband. I think husband back at home. How do you. Are you. Are you. When you're. When you're in a relationship, are you a pda? Er.
- [20:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, luckily, I live in a city that's very queer, so I haven't been in a relationship in a while. Drag me. But I never felt, like, scared to be, like, holding someone's hand or anything, because I also always present very faggy, like, normally without an additional person.
- [20:28]
Monet X Change
Yeah.
- [20:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
So I have not been fearful of that. But I'm not like a. I'm not like a. You know, we're hanging out with a bunch of friends and I'm making out with my boyfriend. And, like, in a group setting. Yeah, I don't do that. But I will with random people at the bar. I just meet, though. That's different.
- [20:47]
Monet X Change
Oh, you know, I didn't do it last time. And I'm gonna find the video. This is me and Patty, and it's me. I'm pretty sure I have it. What year was this? I need to. Cause I need to find this video of Layla McQueen. When I tell y', all, Laila is swallowing this man's face.
- [21:05]
Bob the Drag Queen
Was it 2018?
- [21:06]
Monet X Change
2018. Oh, there it is. We're gonna put this in the thing. I wanna show Layla right now. This is Laila just. And this man. I think they had just stopped making out, but it was just Layla swallowing this man's face. We're gonna put the video in. Y' all gotta see this. I'm gonna send it to Jared. And so Layla is just not for. So with her boyfriend. Layla's like, you know, I think that's weird. What would a stranger.
- [21:35]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, fully grapefruiting a stranger at the bar in public.
- [21:46]
Monet X Change
Yeah. I feel the same way about pda. Like, I grew up in New York City, so it's never been weird to me to hold my boyfriend's hand. That being said, I have dated guys who were in the closet, so that was weird. But I agree. Going to a party with your partner or you're at an event with your partner. I'm not into just tonguing the fuck down unless I'm a little tipsy, whatever. But, yeah, I think that's weird. When couples. Let's say it's a game night and your boyfriend is there and some other friends and you also make it on. I Always think that's weird. So I don't like to do that.
- [22:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
Or you're at a restaurant with your friends, you're like, oh, let's go get some food. And you're with your boyfriend, a couple friends, and it's you and the boyfriend are fucking going at it. I'm like, girl, read the room. Read the room.
- [22:33]
Monet X Change
Read the, Read the room. Mary. And then also they talk about drag queen groping. How do I feel about drag queen groping? Yes, I do admit it is a problem. And it makes you feel, it makes you feel uncomfortable. Like you're doing. You're at a bar, you just finished. Back when I, you know, back when I was still doing stuff in New York City, it was very oftentimes I will be at the bar, getting a fucking cocktail, doing my fucking job, walking around like, hey, make sure you stay for this show, whatever. And someone will be like, oh, my God, are those your boobs? And they'll touch you and they'll laugh and they'll Kiki and Ka ka. So it's really interesting to have this conversation on Drag Race. Cause, I mean, I know what happens to me and obviously if it happened to me, it happened to others. But I definitely didn't think other people were so conscious about it. Which is nice to hear on tv, I guess.
- [23:18]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, it's one of those situational things where people just don't have boundaries, especially for a world that they don't understand. Understand the ins and outs of. So I feel like a lot of, like, there's always like, messy fags who do like that, like in the gay bars. But I do feel like it's a lot of like, like bachelorette parties or like, you know, like drag shows where they're like, primarily, like straight events. Like, it's like, primarily straight people, but they're doing a one off drag show. I've like, done a lot of those, like, when I. I'm not a breastplate queen, but I got one and I wore it for this show. And they were just so enamored by my boobs that they basically ripped them out of my outfit because they were touching them during my numbers. I'm like, okay.
- [24:01]
Monet X Change
Oh, God.
- [24:02]
Bob the Drag Queen
Which is like, it is weird. And I'm gonna say something kind of like, is it controversial? I don't know. I think on that same wavelength when, like, talking about, like, having boundaries with drag queens, it's hard to talk, it's hard to talk about it before you get like, the Drag Race notoriety. But, like, a lot of fans, after you get on Drag Race, they may not physically berate you, but there's a lot of people that, they love you, they adore you, and they know you and they're complete strangers to us. And there's this kind of like, they demand things of you, of your time and your energy, and expect things from you. And it's not like always physical, but it is kind of like there is no mental boundary between that. They're like, well, we know you, you need to be nice to us. You need to give us this, you need to do this. And I think that's kind of on the same realm of like being like, I want to do this, this, this into you and I'm gonna touch you. And you're just a drag queen. And I want all these expectations of what they want from this curated moment inside their head.
- [25:07]
Monet X Change
Yeah. With drag queen groping kinda going on what you said earlier about the breastplate and being hypersexual, I think I would be like, in my mind, I would be like, I guess if I'm looking so sexy, if someone wants to, like, I don't know, I would be like apologetic about it, especially when I first started in drag. Because again, you don't want to be that bitch causing a stir. But like Monet, so extra.
- [25:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you implying that you've just never been extra? Like you were a subtle drag queen once upon a time?

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.

Bob the Drag Queen
So I thought it would be fun

if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial.

We had a little brief technical glitcheroo, and Layla McQueen has now gotten her her old iPhone slave headphones.
- [27:49]
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl, I made fun of Monet for having corded headphones, and here I am wearing them and trying to also. Do we see this knot?
- [27:57]
Monet X Change
Uh huh, uh huh.
- [27:59]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm hunchback and Notre Damed into my goddamn laptop.
- [28:03]
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. You look like those hood bitches on TikTok. You look like hood bitches on TikTok. They'd be like, Here are three reasons why monkeys could beat an alligator in a fight. You're very that drag me. Let's talk about the lurks. Let's talk about the looks. RuPaul, Charles. This is not my favorite RuPaul look. And RuPaul has been looking extra stunning lately. This one is not on that list.
- [28:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
Is Zaldi busy? Like, is. Is Zaldi like, also just getting, like, full drag race fatigue at this point. Like, the past two outfits, I've been like, what? What's happening? What's happening, girl?
- [28:45]
Monet X Change
Yeah. With that being said, you know what? Everyone can have, like, out of us. RuPaul's doing a RuPaul's wearing a lot of drag. He's wearing a lot of looks. So I understand one or two. So the past two have been, you know, subpar. And this one looks like Lala Ri made it in a challenge and it's not my favorite. I love you though, Ru. I love you so much.
- [29:06]
Bob the Drag Queen
Drag her not it looking like Lala Ri glued bags together. You better. Damn.
- [29:17]
Monet X Change
You know, I got to tell like it is. Let's go on to Ms. Krystal Versace. I love this. Krystal Versace seldom looks bad. This outfit is perfectly made. It's so cool. The geometric shapes in the front, her pairing with the red shawl thing, her hair, her makeup. She looks amazing.
- [29:36]
Bob the Drag Queen
She looks great. I wouldn't be mad if this look was, like, a little more extravagant, but I do appreciate that it's, like, so graphic. It looks good. I'm not knocking it at all. I think with Cruella, there's so many options, so you could have gone really crazy. But ultimately, she still looks flawless. Annoyingly flawless.
- [29:57]
Monet X Change
Yeah. Agreed on to Ms. Ella Vida. Okay. When she was getting. I think besides the lashes, in my opinion, this is, to me, the prettiest Ella has looked in all season long. Do you agree?
- [30:18]
Bob the Drag Queen
Am I the odd one out that I just. I just didn't love it? I thought it was. I just. I don't know. I think I got it, but I was like. I. I don't know. Everyone was gagging over it, and I was like, it's a different take. Sure. I. Maybe I hated the drag jewelry in the pants. I, like, didn't. I thought that, like, the jewels for queens over this, like, very kind of plain outfit. I was like, is weird something. There's a disconnect for me. For me.
- [30:49]
Monet X Change
Yeah. I mean, I do like doing this, like, really, like, she's definitely stepping out the box of being avant garde, doing an Oompa Loompa. And I get. Because if y' all don't know, the Oompa Loompas are from Willy Wonka, and they had a lot of them wore those overalls and, like, those, like, you know, and what Willy Wonka's from, like, the 70s, 80s, whatever it was. So I get this, like, this neo future take on what an Oompa Loompa would wear, and I don't hate it. I think it's cute. Is it my favorite outfit on the Runway tonight? No, that would be Crystal Versace. But I think this is cute, and I like that she steps outside of herself. Ella has seldom done something like this really. Like, you know, one would call editorial or, dare I say avant garde or couture. So I like that she does. I agree. The drag jewelry is not my. I don't like the drag jewelry. I don't like this choker, and I don't like the bracelets. Like, girl, you don't have to put everything on. You should not put that stupid choker on. And the bracelets, I would have liked it way more. The drag jewelry cheapened it for me and brought it down, as opposed to it being this fun, quote, unquote, editorial moment.
- [31:49]
Bob the Drag Queen
It just felt like an afterthought. The jewelry was fully like, well, I'm in drag. I have to wear drag jewelry. I'm like, that's not always the case. I just don't think it is. Especially when there's nothing else on this outfit is stoned at all. But we're gonna wear these giant stones. I was like, okay. I just don't get it.
- [32:05]
Monet X Change
Agreed. Let's go on to Miss who is this Vanity. Milan, what are your thoughts about this look Layla, as being a black woman? I'm kidding. What do you think about the look, Layla?
- [32:20]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, we're not doing that. I am not playing into that narrative. I am not doing that. No, ma'. Am. I'm not doing that. Michelle on season three shit, where she says, I'm a black woman trapped inside a white woman's body. I'm not doing all that. We're not. That's not. Not participating in that.
- [32:38]
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. I remember that. Ooh, girl, Michelle. Girl. Vanity. Milan. I get what Vanity was doing, and I know Vanity is really working on a limited budget. That being said, this is obviously supposed to be a nod to Baby, the movie starring Halle Berry back in the day. And this hair is not great. And also, why does she have a silver pouch? Halle Berry, notoriously, had a gold pouch. She had a gold pouch and a gold tooth, but yet this bitch is adorning herself with silver accessories and a silver bag. Like, little things like that. I'm like, if you're doing it on a budget, fine, but do it on a budget and at least match the original costume. You know what I mean?
- [33:29]
Bob the Drag Queen
It's tough because she just wore such a similar silhouette. Like, she wore. Yeah, like, she just wore the. The base hair and an orange outfit that was, like, the same silhouette. So it's really tough because it looks so similar to the last one. And also, Simone did do Babs looks like very recently before Drag Race UK3 film. So it's, like, not to compare them, but it is hard to watch a lesser version of something that's been done.
- [34:00]
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah. Simone's gonna be Look. Simone is fucking fierce.
- [34:04]
Bob the Drag Queen
Killing it.
- [34:07]
Monet X Change
Yeah. And this is not a great look for Vanity. But again, I commend her efforts. But it's just, like, at least do. Like, at least do the whole thing. She should have done it as pants instead of a skirt. I don't understand the choice to kind of do the look but not to. I don't know. I think she should have just went full throttle and recreate the look, you know? And this is not it for me.
- [34:32]
Bob the Drag Queen
Not a strong Runway for her.
- [34:35]
Monet X Change
Next up and last but not least is Kitty Scott Claus. I think this is cute. It's Obviously, this is the dress. If you are a fucking Gen Z, you've probably never seen Titanic. And this is the dress that Rose, AKA Kate Winslet, wears when she arrives on the Titanic. And I think this is cute. I don't know why she did the reveal. She should have just come out in this look and make it like a full gown instead of the fucking reveal. The review was very unnecessary. But I love the hat, I love her hair, I love her makeup, and I think she looks pretty.
- [35:06]
Bob the Drag Queen
I like that she switched her hair up. The reveal. What reveal? It looked like a piece of fabric just hanging off that she was like, oh, shit.
- [35:14]
Monet X Change
Yeah, agreed, agreed.
- [35:15]
Bob the Drag Queen
It seemed like an afterthought.
- [35:17]
Monet X Change
Yeah, I would agree with that. But who was your favorite look and who was your least favorite look?
- [35:22]
Bob the Drag Queen
My favorite is crystals, and my least favorite was vanities, unfortunately.
- [35:28]
Monet X Change
Yeah, agreed. Crystal. The best vanity, the worst. You know, Vanity has not had a very strong showing this season in terms of runways, but I do want to. And I know Naomi and I went back and forth about this when she did watch a re. I still want to commend Vanity on only doing drag for a year and doing this show, making it to the top four, because I know what it is to get on Drag Race with a limited budget. People will be shocked to see that I spent $6,000 on season 10 and I look like fucking that. So I know how hard it is. So good for you. But, yeah, the runways are not strong. But you know what? She has an all star. She can come back and be fierce in All Stars, and we would all love to see it.
- [36:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I think she's great, and I think there's. People love when people get a redemption or can improve from their previous season. I enjoy Vanity very much.
- [36:17]
Monet X Change
Yeah. And that ellipse thing she did last week, maybe, honestly, that was going for the record list, especially for Drag Race uk. It was so good.
- [36:25]
Bob the Drag Queen
Especially for Drag Race uk.
- [36:27]
Monet X Change
Not us acting like she got eliminated. Oh, my God. I don't mean Vanity is still fleeing the competition.
- [36:32]
Instacart Ad Voice
Bitch.
- [36:32]
Monet X Change
Vanity might win T Boots girl.
- [36:35]
Bob the Drag Queen
She's still in the running.
- [36:42]
Monet X Change
Well, like, good for her. You know, she can come back one day and she'll be fierce and fabulous. But, you know, In the deliberation, RuPaul realizes he's like, you know what? The scripts aren't great. And I was just kind of gagged that RuPaul admitted that I was like, work. So we're all on the same page. Ru, what's the tea? How are we gonna fix it for
- [37:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
next Season that was a gag. That was a complete gag. And she was like, yeah, no, these aren't good. Like, I know the scripts, like, aren't great. And, like, so we were just acknowledging it, but not doing anything about it. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool work.
- [37:22]
Monet X Change
I know, I know. So. And then we get those. We find out at the end when the girls come back. Oh, sorry. Not when the girl comes back in the little untucked moment situation. Not untucked. What am I talking about? Yeah, yeah. Is it. Do I. Is it called untucked? No, this doesn't happen. This happens in the show, right? Am I having a stroke?
- [37:47]
Bob the Drag Queen
Am I going crazy, girl? There's, like, 13 different franchises and seasons that's like, I don't know. They're not untucked, you know?
- [37:55]
Monet X Change
Right, right. The girls are all talking about the bottoms. And, you know, it is obvious that the judges are, like, splitting hairs, trying to find things. Cause, again, the only person I would say was bad in the challenge, I would say, honestly, was Ella Vadae. I could see Ella Vaday being in the bottom, but I don't know if I could just. And I would put Krystal in the bottom because of her struggling to do the challenge. But I don't know if Drag Race ever considers how you do getting there or if they just only consider the end goal. I've never really quite figured it out. Are they only looking at the final product, or are they looking at Michelle helping you get there in the workroom? You know what I mean?
- [38:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I feel like it's a sliding scale on a case by case basis is how they treat it or how they judge them for these challenges. Like, when they're splitting hairs, it's like, okay, well, you did need a lot of help, but you got there. But it was like, well, you did need a lot of help, and your Runway isn't that great. So then that goes against you. It's very weird. It's very. It's. It's. Yeah, they really love to keep you on your toes and be like, we'll not give you a concise.
- [38:57]
Monet X Change
He is like, RuPaul said, like, they want to. Like, they want to peek into their heads. They want to get inside the girls heads. And I'm like, I mean, it is a reality show competition, so this should not be surprising that the show is doing this. You know what I mean?
- [39:09]
Bob the Drag Queen
Right. I mean, you're not there to be comfortable and prepared. I mean, that's just not what Drag Race is.
- [39:16]
Monet X Change
Right. They want to see you Sweat. That being said, the girls go back to the main stage, and we realize that yet again, no one is going home, and no one is in the bottom. At first, when he said Vanity was safe, I was like, what? I was like, I thought this is what I thought was gonna happen. I thought he was gonna say vanity was safe. I thought it was gonna be a gag, and he was gonna send Ella home and have Kitty and Crystal lip sync for the win. I thought it was gonna be some other crazy twist. This season of RuPaul Drag Race UK is so all over the place. I genuinely can never tell. Like, normally, I can kind of predict what's gonna happen. Like, watching the episode, I cannot tell what is happening in the show. I feel like I am on. I am. My Google Maps. I have lost service. I'm in the middle of the woods. I have no Wi Fi, I have no 5G, and I have no idea what the fuck is going on in this season.
- [40:04]
Bob the Drag Queen
They'd be doing shit just to be doing shit. Like, they're just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. No lip sync for the win. No one goes home again. Like, fuck it, why not?
- [40:13]
Monet X Change
I know, I know, I know. I'm ready for Drag Race UK to be done, and they're just prolonging the process.
- [40:20]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm gagged. I am gagged that it's the top four. And next episode is not even the top four. Like, top three, top four finale challenge. Like, the next episode, there's still another episode and then the finale. I don't get it. I just don't get it.
- [40:37]
Monet X Change
Yeah, I agree. And that being said, this lip sync between Kitty and Ella was nothing to shout about. I think it was fine. They both did a great job. I was not gagging at the lip sync. And I think the highlight for me was Kitty Scott. Claude, Crunchy dips girls are coming up. I can tell Kitty Scott Claus is not a girl that does dips in her everyday life, where she's like, oh, I'm on Drag Race. I'm gonna pull out these dips, mama. And you know what you did? And they were crunchy as hell. Looking crazy.
- [41:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
You're shitting me. You don't think she does those all the time? I was like. The lip sync was, like, perfectly serviceable, but also completely unnecessary. Just crown Kitty as the winner and pick someone to be in the bottom. Y' all love to do shit like this. I just don't. I just don't get it.
- [41:30]
Monet X Change
And so if there was a double save, they would have been completely justified in just Sending someone home as opposed to having a lip sync for the. Lip sync for your life, whatever, if they don't want to put two people in the bottom.
- [41:39]
Bob the Drag Queen
Honestly, I'm with Bob, where I'm like, send people home.
- [41:44]
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah.
- [41:44]
Bob the Drag Queen
Double saving people twice in a season. I'm like, this is not the journey for me. This is really dragging on.
- [41:51]
Monet X Change
Yeah, I agree. I agree, I agree. That being said, we still have another episode of Drag Race UK coming out next week. I was so mad watching the trailer for next week, I couldn't even process what it was. It was like in some other. It was a comedy challenge. What is it? Oh, yeah, they have to do stand up. It's stand up for, like, the previous to the mother of the girls. Right. So, I mean, that'll be interesting because I think the only funny one. Well, Ella was funny in Snatch Game, but can Ella do stand up? I don't know. We about to find out, though.
- [42:20]
Bob the Drag Queen
Can Crystal Deuce stand up? That's gonna be.
- [42:23]
Monet X Change
She might gag us. And I don't think Vanity can either. So this is about to be. This is about to be another crunchy episode next week. I'm gonna be so mad sitting there watching it too. I'm gonna be heated, girl.
- [42:32]
Bob the Drag Queen
I hope Kitty kills it. Cause I'm with you. I'm team Kitty. I really love her. She's genuine. She seems like she's having fun. She's a good time. Honestly, my top three was Kitty, Kitty, Victoria, and Charity. So I'm like, all right, we're riding the Kitty boat to the end.
- [42:48]
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, girl. Not unless, you know, not unless Kitty. She slips on a banana peel as part of her bit next week. She busts up her knee and she has to go home right before the finale. Could you imagine plot twist?
- [42:59]
Bob the Drag Queen
Honestly? Yes. At this rate, I could. Or she slips, busts her knee, and they say plot twist. We're sending the rest of the three girls home. Kitty, it's just you, but we have three more episodes to film with you to decide if you're the winner.
- [43:16]
Monet X Change
Well, Leila, you know what we made it to by hook or by crook. All the odds said that we wouldn't, but we have made it to the end of this episode of RuPaul. Shrek crazy.
- [43:24]
Bob the Drag Queen
I meant to ask earlier, what would you do for scene stealer Runway?
- [43:30]
Monet X Change
Ooh, scene stealer. Scene stealer. Scene stealer. I'm trying to think. Do you know what? I would probably do something. This would be avant garde. People would be like, what the fuck? I would have done Something by New York Tiffany Pollard. Maybe I would have done her blue dress when Pumpkin gets eliminated and have a stoned saliva snot ball on my face.
- [44:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
That'd be good.
- [44:01]
Monet X Change
People would gag. People would gag. Oh, that's a good one. People would gag. Well, what would you do?
- [44:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
I really like movies. I would really have to think on it. But my first thoughts, I just saw this person do a Halloween costume as a meme on Instagram, but they came out as the showgirls cover the movie. Like, they had, like, an outfit that was all black and it was just one neck to leg. I think that would be funny to do something like Nomi Malone in the Runway. Just be really, like, really, like, aggressive and crazy on the Runway. Like, her fucking dance moves. I think that would be really funny.
- [44:36]
Monet X Change
That's a good one too, also, I
- [44:38]
Bob the Drag Queen
mean, because RuPaul loves it, like, also mommy dearest seems like an obvious option of something to do that she would also like.
- [44:47]
Monet X Change
Yeah.
- [44:47]
Bob the Drag Queen
Playing to the judges.
- [44:49]
Monet X Change
Or I would have done or Janet Jackson for the super bowl. And at the end of the Runway, I would have revealed my titty at the end.
- [44:58]
Bob the Drag Queen
And what?
- [45:01]
Monet X Change
Yeah, those are good ones. Oh, my God. We would have totally, like, won this challenge. You know, we used up one challenge. Wheel girl.
- [45:08]
Bob the Drag Queen
The accents this episode. The unprovoked, unadulterated accents this episode.
