• Naysha Lopez drama: Naysha doesn’t get her desired role and is quietly upset—classic Drag Race casting tension.
• James Mansfield: The hosts find it amusing how James hypes “The Bitch Who Stole Christmas” as her big acting credit, but also give her props for doing a good job.

• Comedy heavyweights: Hosts fangirl about having SNL alumnus Bobby Moynihan and sketch star Robin Thede as mentors and judges.

Judges' Looks (17:22–19:00)

• RuPaul’s fashion evolution: Bob notes Ru is “back in her gown era” after a string of “hoe” looks.
• Michelle’s colors: Remark on Michelle Visage opting for bright tangerine ensembles.
• Robin Thede: Hosts gush over her fashion and talent.

Runway Category: Net Gala (19:30–36:32)

Key looks discussed:

• Naysha Lopez: Monét’s favorite; both agree she “looks stunning” and are confused by judges’ criticism.
• James Mansfield: Admired for her ostrich feather accents and body shape.
• Kandy Muse: Praise for creativity with a tool/net look featuring her own face spray-painted (“Such a cool concept,” Monét, 22:13), compared to Kim Chi’s custom Balenciaga-inspired gowns.
• Ms. Kasha Davis: Roasted for a “terrible” look (“Burn it. Why would you pack that?” – Monét, 23:08).
• Jimbo: Innovative, high-concept net look, though Bob and Monét were put off by the “crotch thing.”
• Jessica Wild: Strong net concept, but Monét wants more detail on the bodice.
• Lala Ri: Noted for her consistent use of nude illusion looks.
• Kahana Montrese: Praised for glamour and stoning, but some critique on the realism/fit of her breastplate.
• Darian Lake: Applauded for clever “basketball” net interpretation.
• Alexis Michelle: Lauded for a genuinely Met Gala-worthy look, despite awkward walkability.

Judging, Results, and Lip Sync Assassin (36:32–43:40)

• Top/subpar critiques:
  • Monét, Bob, and guest commentator debate who should have won: They personally favor James Mansfield or Alexis Michelle over the episode’s winner Jimbo.
• Bottom two: Naysha Lopez and Kahana Montrese; debate ensues over who deserved elimination more.
• Lip Sync Assassin twist: Jimbo’s win means a showdown with Pangina Heals—infamous for sending Jimbo home on "UK vs The World."
  • “How poetic is that?...The Lip Sync Assassin is chosen way before.” – Monet (42:28)
• Pangina’s Drag Race connections: Bob shares a personal anecdote about Pangina attending his NYC shows before her own drag career (43:40).

Favorite Looks & Unseen Runways (37:33–48:50)

• Monét picks Naysha Lopez and James Mansfield as top runway looks, Bob favors Alexis Michelle.
• Debate over judges saying Naysha was unintelligible; both disagree and note the issue was lack of humor, not clarity.
• Extra commentary: Conversation veers into discussion of queens who revolutionized post-show social media (Kim Chi), and stunning eliminated-queen looks (e.g., Alyssa Hunter from S14).

Final Thoughts, Future Predictions & Banter (47:01–End)

• Front runners:
  • Monét: Jimbo, Alexis Michelle, (possibly Darienne Lake)
  • Bob: Kandy Muse, Jimbo, Darienne Lake (47:08–47:22)

[Monet X Change]

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

1-800-contacts. We are reviewing. Hi, Monet. It is me, Bob, directing and Monet X Change. I'm still great. Monet and I are doing two back to back episodes. I don't know what our release schedules are gonna be for these actually, but we do two episodes a week anyways. They're probably gonna be releasing Monday to Wednesday. Probably.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Probably.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And we're reviewing episode two of All Stars eight of RuPaul's Drag Race.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Which is. I will say that this episode got a little bit better than the last episode.

[Monet X Change]

How so?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Maybe it was actually. I don't. You know, let's talk about it and see if it did. Because I think this challenge, the challenge itself was actually.

[Monet X Change]

Well, we'll get. We'll talk about the challenge. I had some thoughts about sketch conversation, but at the top of the episode, the girls are going through. You're opening the. Opening the lipstick box.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think this is why I said it, because I don't know why Kandy Muse decided to tell Darren, like, out of nowhere that she chose her Candy was like. I was like. They started counting all the names, and Kandy Muse was eager, eager.

[Monet X Change]

Darren had four votes.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Eager, eager to tell Darren. What if she chose her name?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I think it's going on brand with Kandi being like, I want to be real and I want people to know, like, when I do something, I'll fess up to it. I Think she's hoping that this will serve her later. Not serve her, but it's just Candy's thing. She's like, well, I'll say what I did. Yeah, I voted for you. And she was like, I did it because Monica gave a really compelling story, and she needs this a lot. And I wanted to keep her here for those reasons. And so did James. And also did James.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And Lala Ree came forward and said the same and said they also chose Darian as the name. But then Candy later on was like, I kind of wish I hadn't done that, and I'm not gonna do it again.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Which is, you know, Kahna Montrese also chose Monica Beverly Hill. So Monica did not stand a chance.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Oh, Kahana. Cause Kahana was the. It was. Yes. Right. So whoever won, she was going home. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

But she lost the lip sync. So we are now rolling over to a $20,000 tip on this episode, which, spoiler alert, you all saw. I mean, baby, when you fucking bring out Pangina, just give the money to the next bitch. Cause, like, girl, she's wild.

[Monet X Change]

Yvonne, we're at the beginning of the episode. What are you talking about?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

But if you're here, you've already watched it. I'm not spoiling anything. I'm just saying I'm not spoiling anything.

[Monet X Change]

I haven't watched it. I'm living this with you right now.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

That I believe, actually, I fully believe that you didn't watch it, and you're just using me as context clues to figure out that scans for you.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, they come into the room the next day, and Ru reveals that they're gonna have a sketch comedy challenge.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And.

[Monet X Change]

And, okay, I know that, for example, Bossy Rossi, in theory, it kind of is a sketch. Sketch is different. Like, sketch comedy is like SNL or, like, man TV on these shows. And Bossy Rossi, those are improv challenges. But in a similar vein, this sounds more exciting to me than doing, like, an improv challenge. Like Bossy Rossi. This sounds like so much fun.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

This is script that's not designed for. I mean, I would say almost all the acting challenges on Drag Race are sketched. They're all technically sketched.

[Monet X Change]

Right.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Comedy.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

But it's not an improv challenge. I actually prefer improv challenge over. Over this. I much prefer improv challenges over the scripted stuff.

[Monet X Change]

Was your. Did you have an improv one or you. Was your. I guess your voting one wasn't that y' all kind of just. Y' all had, like, general things that

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

y' all we, we had to write them. We wrote them.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, you wrote those out?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. And I was improving during the, the, The Ruza Empire thing. But we didn't have. My season. Didn't have any. Didn't have any improv things. It didn't have any standup comedy. There was no roast. My, my season was kind of a wild, a weird season for not having things that like, everybody, you know what happened?

[Monet X Change]

Ru walked into Viacom. He's like, I'm not renewing his contract with Logo tv. I want to go somewhere else. So everybody. I think there was like some strikes and stuff going on. It was, it was a tough season.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Are you making that up?

[Monet X Change]

No, that's what happened.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Okay.

[Monet X Change]

So, yeah, so doing the sketch comedy sounds so fun. I would have loved to do an SNL type challenge. It sounds very, very fun.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Did you watch RuPaul's episode? Of.

[Monet X Change]

Of course I did. RuPaul was great. SNL was so great. I had to watch my. Come and do SNL.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

It was great. Bowen Yang and RuPaul had some great sketches. You know, I rented them at Rogers and Bow and went Yang at the GLAAD Awards and Matt Rogers, like, let's see if you beat us tonight. And I didn't get a chance to say this speech. I wanted to say it. So Matt Rogers, if you're listening, I was gonna say this. I was gonna say actually, because we were, we were like a few blocks from where I was gonna say, just so you guys know. Like, it's really wild to me. I, I used to work. I used to wait tables about a four minute walk from here at the Jekyll and Hyatt Club at 57th and 6th. So it's really kind of just like apropos that I'm here and I was gonna. And then I was gonna say, and Matt, like, I don't want any hard feelings because, listen, I'm not saying that my podcast is better than yours. Glad is saying that, but I didn't get a chance to say that.

[Monet X Change]

So, you know, Andy went to college with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. And they. I said, I'll talk to you about this offline, actually, let's. I don't know why.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And they.

[Monet X Change]

No, they didn't. That is not true.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

You are.

[Monet X Change]

That sounds like such a disgusting sound. Can you please stop? This is very inappropriate.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Did they do all that? Oh, my God, you are disgusting. Is that what Andy did with some of the funniest comedians? So you think, you think fucking Bo Yang and Matt Rogers is disgusting?

[Monet X Change]

No, I think that fucking Andy is disgusting. Um, so. So they. So they. So.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Oh, why did Kandi say SNL has dry humor? And everyone's like, yeah, they do. And I was like, I don't think I was dry.

[Monet X Change]

Girls. I don't know when she said that too. I was like, girl, what? But out the gate, when they announced a challenge and before, just what I know off of these girls from the previous seasons, I was like, darian, Alexis and Jimbo are gonna turn it. That's what. That's what my thought was.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I love Bobby Moynihan.

[Monet X Change]

Bobby Moynihan. Why?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think. I just think Bobby Moy is just so funny. When I used to watch SNL with him, he's just so funny.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

I was high school with him.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Did you really?

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Yeah. He was best friends with my best friend's sister. He was like, I knew. I knew him very well. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And did you?

[Monet X Change]

I'm like, can you not? And my mom is gonna listen to this episode.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Hi. So Katie wants to do the opening monologue, which I actually would have. I would have given it to Darion Lake.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I would. I would have taken it for myself.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Monet. I'm talking about people in the season.

[Monet X Change]

But why would you want to give it to Darren Lake?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

If I was on the show, I wouldn't have given it to Darren Lake. But of the girls there, it seems like it'd be more fitting for Darien Lake.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

So.

[Monet X Change]

So you don't wanna give it to her. You wanna disadvantage her and do something that you think you could do well,

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

no, what I'm saying is I, as a viewer, rather see Darien Lake do it. I'm not talking about strategy wise.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, got it, got it.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

But also, it's not necessarily just the disadvantage. Like, for example, if there's like a, you know, a sing high pitch thing, I'm not trying to take it from. I'm not trying to take it from Jinx if she doesn't have it. Cause I won't do well at it either.

[Monet X Change]

You know what I mean? But I think Kandy thinks she will do well with it. Kandy is like, oh, the open monologue is like the first thing people see. And she thinks she'll be doing strong and giving it to Darren Lake. Knowing Darren Lake does stand up is like, oh, she's going to kill it. You know?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

You know, I agree, I agree. But I'm just saying, as a viewer, I think that Darren Lake would have done better.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, for sure. I agree. For sure. For sure. As they are Doing parts, though. Naysha does not get the part that she wants, baby. And you know. You know a bitch is mad when everyone's like, they sure, I know you want this. Can you. Is it okay if you do this? She's like, no, it's fine. No, it's fine. No, it's fine. I'll just do this one. It's fine. When the bitch said, no, no, no, it's fine. I'll just do it. You know, they are tight, and she is really upset that she's not gonna get the role she wants.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah, it cuts her saying she's really pissed, but also, she did nothing to fight for the role. Like, absolutely nothing to fight for that role.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, that's true. That's fair.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I'm like, girl, you lost it. You didn't even put up a stink.

[Monet X Change]

She's like, and Bob is getting that role. Okay.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Literally. And then it confesses. I'm really pissed. Well,

[Monet X Change]

I think it's so funny that James Mansfield keeps on going on about this, about starring in the Bitch who Stole Christmas and that being, like, her calling card to acting in comedy. I said, bitch, she want to work. She better milk that cow.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I mean, she did have a nice role in a feature film that aired on tv. You know what I mean? And also, did you watch it?

[Monet X Change]

We were on tour, and I, like, saw, like, a little piece. Jan Sport would play it every night on the bus.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

She's really good. James or Jan. James was really good in it.

[Monet X Change]

So you think Jan was bad in it?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think Jan should quit drag. No, Jane was fine, but I'm talking about James. This moment James. James was getting was good too, But James was very, very good in this. In this movie. I remember being like, wow, she ate that. She was the villain.

[Monet X Change]

Look. Look at how I ate. Look at how she ate that.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Look at.

[Monet X Change]

Look at how she bodied that. When Rupert.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I low key think that the role was written for Trixie and that Brooklyn Hytes role was written for Katya because Brooke and Hyde was playing a Russian hooker.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, for sure.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And Danny Manson was playing a blonde bitch.

[Monet X Change]

And. When RuPaul brings in Bobby Moynihan to come in, I was like. And he announced earlier, and Bobby announces that Robin Thede is gonna be. I was like, bitch, they got some comedy sketch, like, fucking gods up in here. Like, Bobby Moynihan was on SNL for what, 11 years or like, 11 seasons?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Nine years.

[Monet X Change]

Nine years. And Robin Thede is a great comedian. Sketch comedian. She hosts or she's the creator of a Black lady sketch on hbo, and she's so funny, which Bob was on. And what y' all don't know is that it was supposed to be me, but I was filming All Stars 7,

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

so that but money audition and did a horrible job.

[Monet X Change]

But then I was on All Stars 7, so Bob got it after me.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. First of all, I was on twice, and Monet knows that what she's saying is completely false. Because you were down on All Stars. Both of them.

[Monet X Change]

I was on All Stars for the first one.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

First of all, I filmed the first one before the pandemic. So what's really the truth?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, the second one. One of them.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Oh, okay. Interesting.

[Monet X Change]

Muy ainterest out there.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And also White Monet comes in and what's her name is Trey Gerd Kahana's trigger, because she got. When Bobby Moynihan was there on an acting challenge.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Do you remember that? She almost did it again.

[Monet X Change]

Do you remember that, Bobby? A bunch of the guys from snl, when they were like, mechanics, and they did a whole sketch about Drag Race and Trinity, the tux tuck. Do you remember this?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. There's a lot of Drag Race, SNL overlap is what I'm trying to say.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

During the little makeup moments, Lala Ri feels more comfortable about her acting than she did last time. And they show that clip of her acting in the. I was like, this was bad. I didn't realize how bad it was at the time. The fact check that, of course, they pulled one little part, but I was like, damn, she really is just straight up just saying these lines out loud. It was giving Monet book report.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

You know, a lot of us have had not our greatest moments on Drag Race, but, you know, you come back to All Stars, and hopefully you turn it out. And a sketch comedy challenge. What a great time to try to turn the wheel around, turn the tide. And that's really. There's nothing really else exciting happening to make up moments. Do you anything for you?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Well, this is when Kandi mentioned not wanting to make her decision based on emotions, but we already talked about that already.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So they go into.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Before we go on the challenge. Go ahead. Go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

No, I was gonna say for the casting of it, it's hard to, like, when we. It's hard to say, like, what you'd be good at, because a lot of it kind of not depends on your partner, but if you're partnered with someone that is, like, really bombing the scene, that kind of makes it hard for you to do your job as well,

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

yeah, sometimes. Or you can turn into a magical moment and that can be part of the experience. Them bombing. You know what I mean? True. I am, baby. I don't know how long ago this was filmed, but based on this writing, I'm assuming the writer's strike happened right before this episode was written. Because these sketches were. These sketches were not good. This writing was not. I did not enjoy this writing, but

[Monet X Change]

I think some girls were able to turn that into something really great. Like, you know, Kandy's opening monologue. I didn't know what. I think that some of them. There were some punchlines that could have been really good, but I think her delivery kind of fumbled it a little bit.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I mean, I don't know how much it was the writing, how much it was the delivery, but I just was not. Overall, I was not feeling this challenge. Just like, I think I laughed out loud, like, maybe twice. Like, chuckled. I mean, like, I was like.

[Monet X Change]

I did laugh at Jimbo's. I thought Jimbo did a really. I thought Jimbo did a really great job. I thought Jimbo was very strong, actually.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think I laughed at one of Lala ri's lines, I think. And I think I laughed at something that Ms. Kasha Davis said when she was on that, like, rolling platform.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And Hiding Closet and Lala Rita were playing what's her name? Michael Che. And the other one, the other guy, the white guy from snl.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I was gagged at. I was gagged at them promoting the Diva Rules. They were still trying to sell this eight year old book. I was gagged. I was like, if y' all don't push something new. This book literally came out eight years ago.

[Monet X Change]

Did it really put it together?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yes. I googled it just to make sure. I was like, this book is at least five years old. It was eight years old.

[Monet X Change]

GAG 2015.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

This book came out.

[Monet X Change]

I thought that Kasha Davis was good when she came into Kandi's scene and she had that thing on, the rolling thing. I thought Kasha Davis did a good job as well, actually.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah, she did. Scottishly had two small roles in two scenes.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

As opposed to one entire scene.

[Monet X Change]

But I do agree that Kahana's cat thing was not great. I think that she should have. She should have just punched it up with a few more, like, little cat puns maybe. And what Robin Thede ended up saying, I was like, oh, yeah, that makes sense that she should have. She could have really taken the chance to just be extra cat like, and really personify what this cat would be like.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And what did Monica end up doing again?

[Monet X Change]

Monica wasn't here.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Not Monica. Sorry. Naysha. Naysha was in the.

[Monet X Change]

Naysha was.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

She's the doctor.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yes,

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

that's right. That's right.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. James was really good. I thought. James is. James did a great job. I really enjoyed James's role in that. In that cold open, actually, Wait, if

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

you liked her, mate, you should see her in the Bitch Stole Christmas. You love it. If you. If you like that, wait till you hear about a movie called the Bitches Stole Christmas.

[Monet X Change]

Give her the Emmy.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Also, I was. Jessica Wild's waist is tin.

[Monet X Change]

She pads so big. Jessica Wild wears, like, huge pads.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And I think she's also probably just really skinny.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Something the combination of the deux was giving, like, geez Louise.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Also at the end, I thought that Kandi could have like, flipped that last line. The if you can't love yourself line. Cause again, it's a sketch. You can just go off script. Something, like, super funny. I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Did she just say it straight up?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. How the hell are you gonna love somebody else? Like, if you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna walk that fucking duck or something like that? I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I would've said, and if you can't love yourself, honestly, I understand, because you're kind of a dick. How about if you can't love yourself, I get it, because you're fucking annoying. Let's go on to look at the judges and what they were. We didn't talk about the judges last time, so I want to say that RuPaul. RuPaul's back in her gown era. She had a hoe era for a while, and she is back in her bob.

[Monet X Change]

We're only two episodes in.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

She's back. I'm telling you, I feel in my soul she's back in her elegant era.

[Monet X Change]

Cut to next week. RuPaul literally comes out and pasties, you're

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

gonna gag in the illusion of a noodle. Michelle's in bright colors. I'm used to seeing her in so much dark colors.

[Monet X Change]

I love this. I love this tangerine. Okay, so my new thing is wearing long sleeves, but having them go over my knuckles and have a little thumb hole. I put it in everything. Now I'm in my thumb hole, knuckle era.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think my next era is gonna be all denim, everything.

[Monet X Change]

Are you just doing a thing, or are you seriously gonna start doing that?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think my next era will be all denim, everything.

[Monet X Change]

He's doing A bit. He's not doing all that anything. Robin, thee looks great. This is a very cute dress. I love this color blocking on it. It's very cute.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. I love Robin Thed. She's. I should text her until. I should do. I like Robin. Robin is a really.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I should text her. I should text her. Y'.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

All.

[Monet X Change]

Y' all see how the thing I try to sleep it in. I should text her. Like. I should text her.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah, Just like. Just like Andy did with Bo and Yang. I slipped it in, honey. I slipped it in.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on to the Runway looks, Bob. The category.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Ignore Carson Kressley's entire existence, but Carson always looks good.

[Monet X Change]

Carson always looks great. Carson and I hung out when I came for Mardi Gras.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Look how Monetza fit in.

[Monet X Change]

We hung out, and I can actually text Carson.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

We hung out well, if I had not been blocked and I could text him too.

[Monet X Change]

The category was the Net gala, which I love this play on it. This is really great.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Ajla Ves looks stunning.

[Monet X Change]

She looks great. When they critiqued her saying, I was like, what are you talking about? She looks really good.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Beautiful.

[Monet X Change]

Absolutely beautiful. I love how the vinyl glove matching that vinyl like, thigh high legging with this netting and the hair and the makeup. I thought she looks really good. I was so gagged when Michelle tried to read on this look. I'm like, she looks stunning.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

I agree.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And this is how you can wear human hair. But it's not just, like flattened down. I love this.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she looks really, really, really good.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I love James's look. I love James look is so good. It's amazing. I love this net on her head. It's so good. I love this.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, this was really, really. And her body looks incredible. I love that she had the ostrich on her collar, on her wrist, and then on the feet too. It just made the proportions look really good. Do you know, Bob, that you Cannot bring ostrich feathers into Australia.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I didn't know that.

[Monet X Change]

Because it's bad for the ecosystem and for the animals. So Jinx brought an ostrich outfit in and they seized it from her like last year she was here. And they never reimbursed her for it and they never gave it back to her.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

What did they. They probably destroyed it.

[Monet X Change]

And then nobody said they would, and it just never did. And then Trinity came in with.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I mean, like the authorities took it from her.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, like customs border control. And then Trinity came on this trip with a big ass ostrich gown and they just let her come in with it. Well, they didn't check, to be fair. They checked jinxes and they saw it. That's why they took Monet.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

You literally just ratted on her. Like, damn, we're going to be gone

[Monet X Change]

by then, you know.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Stitches. They get stitches. That's what they do. And you just snitched. Damn. I'm telling ain't shit.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on to Kandy Muse now. I fucking love this. Where's the net? It's tool.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I mean, tool is a kind of

[Monet X Change]

net that's stretching it, that's dragging it.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I don't think it is. I mean, it's like it's got little holes in it and everything. Like, it's like. It's like. I think, I think that a. You could catch fish with a. With tool. With a tool bag and like more so than you can see straight through it. I think it's net. I think that makes sense in my opinion.

[Monet X Change]

I think. I mean, I fucking love this look, though. I think this is very, very, very. Such a cool concept, having her face spray painted on it. Her makeup looks good. Her hair looks great. I love this outfit. It's very similar. This is a Kim K. Balenciaga fantasy, which Alexa Michelle did for the first week. But it's a different color and the spray paint thing just adds another layer to it. But I love this. This is very beautiful.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Kim Cheese have a dress like this. But it was Kim Kardashian crying on it.

[Monet X Change]

Really?

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Kim Cheese had a gown that had like Kim Kardashian's face crying. It was painted by what's his name, drag king from Chicago.

[Monet X Change]

Tenderoni.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Tenderoni had painted it.

[Monet X Change]

Kim Wood. This is such a Kim Chi thing to do.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Let's go into Mrs. Kasha Davis.

[Monet X Change]

Terrible. Burn it. Why would you pack that? It is terrible. You look really bad and I don't like it.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Now that we've got the sugar coating Knocked off. I would like to hear your true opinions. No, this is not great. And this is offensive to look at.

[Monet X Change]

I was like, girl, what? It's. First of all, just like the black skirt with the netting, long loaf behind it with the pink bustier with the shoulder things and the hair color. This is just all wrong. All wrong. All wrong.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. This is not a great look. This is not a shining moment for Ms. Kasha Davis. Let's go into Jimbo. This is such a cool look.

[Monet X Change]

This is cool. But I did think it was too much. Like, I don't know where my eyes. Like, I get. This is high concept. I get what you're going for, but I think it's a skull too much. And I love Jimbo. This is. This is a lot.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

One thing I don't like is whatever's going on on her crotch, what is

[Monet X Change]

it supposed to be?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Maybe a vagina. Maybe.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I did not like this, actually. I was gagged. It was so well received. I didn't. I don't. I love the concept. I didn't like it. And I couldn't tell if the things were they moving, like, animatronically or were they just swaying with her?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think they were just, like, kind of rocking and bobbing around.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. I was like. I thought they were, like, moving, like, arms, like. Like fucking Doc Ock. And I was like, oh, shit.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

But I love. I love the idea, and I just wish they didn't have that. That crotch thing going on with it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Let's go on to Ms. Jessica Wild. This is her and Kasha Davis thought in a similar way. Oh. Also really quick back to Kasha. Davis says she had the smallest butterfly net. Like, she went to the baby section and got her a little butterfly net and she, like, waving around.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. That is a tiny little net. And here we have Jessica Wild. I actually kind of like this.

[Monet X Change]

I like it, too. I wish she did more with the bodice. Like, I love the arms and the legs, but something about the bodice, it just feels like it's missing something there. It's like, I don't know. But I do like it, though.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I cannot believe that we lived in the same timeline as the age of your butterfly thing.

[Monet X Change]

Do you think. Do you think that Asia O' Hara on Earth 2 did something similar?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I mean, I reckon so. But instead there were pigeons. God, then Cameron Michaels just stumped on the pigeons.

[Monet X Change]

Jesus Christ.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Like, that was. I mean, that was. That was her season, wasn't it?

[Monet X Change]

She had my season. She had to do a whole thing With Peeta, I think, afterwards.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

So you were in the audience watching that happen, or are you backstage?

[Monet X Change]

I was sitting right. I was sitting right in the audience next to Ms. Cracker.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Can you talk me through what was happening there?

[Monet X Change]

So she started the number, and we obviously knew something was coming, right? Something from her tits. Whatever it was, I thought it was gonna be confetti cannons. Now she's doing this thing, and then we see her open, I think her wrist first, and she's trying to, like, do this, but nothing's happening. We're like, what the fuck is. We're doing Pilates. What the fuck is going on? And then she opened her tits out to make the butterflies go on. And then we noticed they were just on the floor. Like,

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

my God.

[Monet X Change]

And then Cameron, come here. Go, Cameron. Somersaulting, split flaw on the floor directly onto butterflies. Like, I honestly. I really think Cameron saw the butterfly. She's like, oh, bitch, y' all trying to make me lose. She, like. Cameron was like.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Cameron said, y' all tried to jump me. Y' all tried to jump me. They tried to. You remember all the Chancellor. They tried to kill me.

[Monet X Change]

Yes. Yeah, it was wild. It was a wild times, girl.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I felt bad for Asia. Asia is never gonna live that down. I mean, we're not helping,

[Monet X Change]

you know, she has a butterfly sanctuary at her house now.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

That was a wild moment in the history of drag.

[Monet X Change]

Talk to me as someone who was watching it on tv. What did. What did. What did you think when you actually saw the footage?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

It was. It was the only way I can use this cringe. I felt really embarrassed. I was embarrassed. I felt embarrassed to be watching it happened. And I was like, I wish I wasn't watching this. I wish that I didn't have to see this happen, because I'm embarrassed that this is happening. And I kept thinking to myself, why did she think that would work? Like, first of all, to make it impactful in a space that big, you would need, like, hundreds of butterflies. This bitch had, like, seven.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know. Cause we filmed the finale, then we filmed the reunion the next day on the same stage. And the next day, all throughout our reunion, butterflies were flying around because they were frozen. They were, like, in a sleep. Like, they were induced into sleep. So when they finally thawed out, they were just in the theater just living their butterfly lives.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And I think the crazy part was when she threw it up and then, like, kind of, like, caught it, but it just hit the ground because she threw it up as if it was gonna fly away.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, My God.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Go very far.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go, Optimus.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Nasty Girl by Janet Jackson.

[Monet X Change]

Because that was the other thing, too. It just didn't make sense with the song. If it was Nelly Furtado. I'm like a bird, I want to fly away. If it was Rihanna, I can't. Michael Jackson.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Michael Jackson's you give me Butterflies.

[Monet X Change]

Something like that. But what about Nasty Girl made it a thing.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think she got. I think she had the outfit made before she knew what the song was.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

We gotta keep going. So let's look at Heidi in closet.

[Monet X Change]

The Gap sheets Diva.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

She said, you gonna look at this. She said this. She said, I'm going to brand. I'm gonna wear my logo. And you're gonna look at it a lot.

[Monet X Change]

Which is so unfortunate. Cause the outfit is really cool. And I love the hair, her makeup. She looks great. But having the Gap all over the outfit is so strange to me. I'm allergic to this look. I can't look at it like she

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

does she have a lot of those around the house?

[Monet X Change]

Girl, she is. She's. She blew somebody's Etsy up. Okay, whatever. Bitch on Etsy made these damn logos. She is eating this season because she gonna be selling a lot of these logos. But I think I love this look so much. I just don't like the gaps all over it.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah, I agree. I don't know why she's obsessed with these. With these gaps. Let's move on to Lala Ri, who is going to do a nude illusion. It is literally the last thing she does. She will look like a noodle. You cannot stop this bitch from doing a nude illusion.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. She really is. She wore. She's done some type of nude illusion every episode. Huh?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

She did it for the promo and she did it, I think, twice in the last episode.

[Monet X Change]

I like this gown. I didn't like the sleeve things, though. But I like the gown.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I like it. She looks kinda like Elphaba. Her legs are so long. And I think she looks really good. I never noticed how, like, daytime.

[Monet X Change]

Her makeup is daytime.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Like, it's just like her eye makeup. It's just like a little bit of eyeshadow.

[Monet X Change]

No bob. It's a smokey eye. We made a little eyeshadow.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. I mean, I mean, for drag, it's a little eyeshadow.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, we can't get it.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Like, click on, Heidi. Click on, Jimbo. Click on Kasha. Click on. I mean, Kandy's also doing a little bit of. A little bit, too.

[Monet X Change]

Candy's not we can't get into this little makeup thing again, I don't think.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Kandi, by the way, a lot of people were agreeing with me. They were all like, I don't know why. I want to act like she doesn't know what the fuck Bob's talking about.

[Monet X Change]

But looking at Kandy and Will use. I don't see a little makeup. Katie Williams. He has blush blown out to her hair.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Talking about eyes. I'm talking about eyes. Monet eyes. I'm talking about their eyes.

[Monet X Change]

Ok. How many times you got to say eyes

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

so you understand it?

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on to Kahana Montrese, which. Her body is insane. She is so beautiful. I'm going to say it every time I see her. She looks incredible. And I like this look a lot. I mean, okay, I like this look. You know, my pet peeve with any type of stone pant and just like a pump. I just wish the whole shoe was incorporated into the garter thing.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Well, I think the shoe is stone.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. But just seeing that flesh at the bottom, it's just a personal thing for me. I know that this is great. Just a personal thing for me. That was for my eyes and my. Me, my neurodivergence.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

You neurodivergent.

[Monet X Change]

I am

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

a little like Tiana Taylor.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Who's Hannah Taylor?

[Monet X Change]

She's a singer. R B singer. Teyana Taylor. I don't.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Oh, Tiana Taylor. I thought he said Tana Taylor.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Teyana Taylor.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Maybe a little bit. I can see that. Yeah. She looks really great. This. This is a really nice stoning job. Yeah. I think her boobs might be a little bit too big.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And I think that's what it was about the Lil Nas X clip that was throwing me off. I think her boobs are just a sko too big.

[Monet X Change]

But the problem is, though, from the front, because they're so big, it does that. And it looks good from the front when you see it from the side or any angle. They're just so big this way.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Can I ask you a question about big tits?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

So hers, to me, look fake. They look really fake. Like, they look rubbery. Whereas I've seen other girls who wear them where they don't look as fake. And that's what was throwing me off in the first episode Runway. They just looked like they didn't belong. They looked clearly not real.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think it's because her. Well, one. Her boobs are not actually the same color as her skin, which I think is kind of harder for black people because, like, black people can be as light as white people and as, you know, dark as the night sky. So it's kind of hard to get. And I've had. I have one titty bib that is literally sewn into my garment that I have worn, and I had to get it custom painted to look right.

[Monet X Change]

Knowing you worn season two over here.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. In the Temecula episode. This one. This one here, Jay, Is it up there? Is it up there? Jay, now that you hear us on the call, is it there? Jay? Did it make the cut?

[Monet X Change]

Wow.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Jay's ignoring me. I'll send it to Jay. I'm sending it to Jay right now so Jay can have. Jay cannot. If it's not in there, y', all, it ain't me this time.

[Monet X Change]

That means, Jay, if you don't put it in, that means black lives don't matter.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Yeah, I put everything in. When I get it

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

just right, Andy and boy Yang, Slip it in, honey.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. Can we finish the episode? I have to go to work. I'm not in my hotel room kicking like you. I'm at work. So let's go on to the next queen, which is Darian Lake. And I thought this was such a brilliant and smart way to do net. This was so funny to me. This is so cool.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

It took me a second to realize she was a basketball, but it is really cute, and it is really funny. She also looks nice. She looks really, really good.

[Monet X Change]

She looks really good. And the fabric she had under the dress, she was, like, doing her little swaying thing, and it was, like, moving. It looked really great.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah, she's quite campy. It's a really camp look. I guess since Monet's in a big rush to get out of here, I guess we should just zoom through the rest of them. All right, guys. So, Alexis Michelle. I like it. Let's go. Let's go.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, I think Alexis, obviously, she has this netting fabric on top of it, but she really stuck to the gala part of it. Like, this is something that I feel like you could see at the actual Met Gala.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Right? I agree. She couldn't walk in it very well, which is kind of annoying. Yeah. But also, I've noticed a lot of Met Gala cannot walk in the outfits, and they'd be looking crazy as they go from camera to camera. But Alex Michelle, I. I mean, this goes. I think that Alexa Michelle has a style of drag that I like a lot that I also.

[Monet X Change]

I can see you wearing this hair. I could see you wearing this hair.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I would wear this whole outfit. Yeah. I often see Alexa Michelle wear things and go, I would wear that. Like, often. I'm like, I think, except when she wears her hair down. I'm not really into that. But this whole look, I wouldn't wear those. The only thing I wouldn't wear is those earrings. Everything else.

[Monet X Change]

What's wrong with the earrings?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I just don't really like those big, huge rag earrings. I just don't wear them. I used to wear them, but I just don't wear them anymore. And I mean pretty rarely. On rare occasions, like, I'll grab one. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Like, this looks really, really, really good. Like, she looks really. She looks beautiful. Very beautiful.

[Monet X Change]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turned turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment

[Commercial Narrator]

of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12 month plan. Required $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms.

[Monet X Change]

So we found who's your favorite look.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I'm gonna give it to Alexis. Michelle.

[Monet X Change]

Actually, I'm gonna go with Naysha Lopez. I think Naysha looks really stunning and I'm. I'm gagged.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Oh.

[Monet X Change]

Or James Mansfield. I'm gonna say I'm gonna go with Naysha Lopez.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I would wear James's too. Trying to go through and see which ones I would wear. I would wear James's. I would wear Alexis. I would wear Kasha Davis. I actually lent that to Kasha Davis and I need her to get it back to me. So after they walked the Runway, we got some judging and I just didn't get the note about them saying they couldn't understand what Naysha Lopez was saying. I was like, I understood every word she said.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree. When Michelle was trying to sell that fantasy, and then they showed the clip afterwards, and I was like, I understood everything she said. Now you can say it wasn't funny.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I agree that it wasn't funny. Again. Yeah, I agree. It was not funny, but I was like, I understood basically every word she said. I don't. I don't. It's not. I don't get it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree. And, yeah, it was a little strange. The top queen this week was Jimbo. Do you agree? Um,

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I. What did Alexis Michelle do in the challenge?

[Monet X Change]

Alexis Michelle was the jersey Michelle. The book club thing.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. With Darion Lake. You know, I feel like it was really not Darian and Alexis. I really feel like the writing just was not great for a lot of these sketches. My favorite part was actually the weekend update part.

[Monet X Change]

Huh.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I actually enjoyed that part the most. And if I. But then if I go off the Runway, my favorite Runway was Alexis Michelle, and then it was Heidi and Lala Ri. I like their challenges, and I like Heidi's outfit. I might have given this this week to Heidi, actually, but only she took those lips off this fucking outfit.

[Monet X Change]

What about James? Yeah, I would have given it to James. That's what I was gonna say. I think James was so funny in her in the opening, in the cold open, and I thought her Runway was fucking great. I would have given it to Jaymes Mansfield.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

You may be right. Maybe I would give it to James over Heidi because I don't like Heidi's lip thing. So I'm going to give it to James. James is my winner of the week.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Let's do sibling rivalry race, where we decide who's winning based on our own decision.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. Should we start sibling racery? And at the end of the season, we have our own crown and crowning episode for the winner. We give them a thing, and we do. We should have sibling racery. They will cease, desist, kill yourself, do not ever come back. They will be a rap.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

We sent you a cease. And descendants of the Kys.

[Monet X Change]

And the bottom queens this week are. Who was it again?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Naysha Lopez and Kahana Montrese.

[Monet X Change]

Naysha and Kahana. And I was. If they would have sent Kahana home, I would have been very upset because, again, she had just won, and I thought she did a good. She looked good on the Runway, and she was fine in the challenge. And, you know.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

So you would have voted. You would've voted for you to vote for Naysha.

[Monet X Change]

Only because Kahanna just won, and I just wouldn't. But. Okay, two minds, right? If I was doing. If I was being alliance strategy. Monet, it's sending Kahanna home. If I was, like, going off of merit and doing a good job on the show, I would send Naysha home. Cause she. Cause Kahanna just won't.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I would have sent. I would have sent Kahana home because I think I'm just more. I think that Naysha's drag maybe excites me a little bit more, to be honest.

[Monet X Change]

Really?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

What about in the challenges, like, in the show?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I think in some challenges, she does really good. I don't think she was bad, honestly. I think that her and I think that Naysha and Kahana were at the same level, to be honest.

[Monet X Change]

I really do feel that way in this week's challenge. You think so? For real?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. I don't think either one of them was, like, particularly stunning. I'm mistaken. I'm not saying she's not beautiful. She wasn't looking beautiful tonight. Yeah. I just think that they were both fine in the challenge. To be honest, I didn't get the note that Naysha was so bad or unintelligible. I just thought she wasn't funny. But I also didn't think that Kahana Montrese was funny either.

[Monet X Change]

Interesting. Okay.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And I like Naysha's dress better.

[Monet X Change]

Naysha did look. She looked stunning. Well, Bob, we are two queens down, and that means there are only.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Jesus Christ.

[Monet X Change]

What

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

we need to talk about the fact that the winner of the challenge was Jimbo, and Jimbo had to lip sync against Paris China, who sits her home on UK v The world.

[Monet X Change]

Like, how poetic is that? Like, how did. How did Jimbo win? And fucking. The third person ended up being Jessica Wilde. I mean, Pangina. And no, I'm not saying that this is, like, a production thing, because one, the Lip Sync assassin is chosen way before. Like, the Lip Sync assassin is not chosen after they do the challenge. Right. So Jimbo had really bombed the challenge. There'll be no way to mitigate that and, like, let her win. So I just. It. It seems a little coincidental. No.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Do you think that's why Jimbo won over?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

You think Jimbo won? You think. You think they pushed Jimbo to a win so they can have the Pantana start line? That's what you. That's what you're saying?

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

I think Jimbo did really good in the challenge and I think Jimbo did really good on the Runway.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah, Mona, please don't negate Jimbo.

[Monet X Change]

I thought Jimbo did a good job. I literally, I said that Jimbo was one of my favorite parts of the challenge.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Please don't negate. Please don't negate Jimbo's hard work. Please don't.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, but yeah, they had those lip sync moments and Pangina turns it.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

They lip sync to Cindy. They said lip sync to Cyndi Lauper.

[Monet X Change]

I had never heard the song. I don't.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I did not. I think I. Once I heard, I was like, oh, yeah, I think I do know that song. And you know, Pangina years ago, used to come to my drag show before she was a drag queen when she was living in New York City for a short while.

[Monet X Change]

Uh huh.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And she was like low key friends with Natsu.

[Monet X Change]

Oh my God. DJ Natsu.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

And I met her through Lockaroo, who's like her mentor.

[Monet X Change]

You know Lockaroo, of course, Princess Lockeru.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. And Lockaroo is like Panchana's mentor, taught her a lot about dance and was her choreographer, her dance teacher for a long, long time. Yeah, I just remember Panzana coming to the shows. So cute. Coming to my shows out of drag. And then I found out she's like the, like the fucking queen of Thailand.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I think there's this, I've been watching TikTok lately. There's this like initiative of black people going to Thailand and buying property and like building houses and stuff. I'm like, bitch, I want to buy some property in Thailand. That sounds great. In Bali specifically.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Well, you should look into it.

[Monet X Change]

You should reach out to Pangina and the Thai government. They're like, come, we love that. Now. I don't know how what local people there think about that. I don't know if they hate that. Cause, you know, I mean, it's not the exact same thing, but a lot of people like Hawaiians, like, bitch, do not come here. We don't want you here. Stay away.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Reach out to Pantana. Reach out to some of your Thai friends. Reach out to Natsu.

[Monet X Change]

Would you buy a house?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Stick with me together in Thailand?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

With you. No, I've offered to buy a house with you probably twice. And I will never offer.

[Monet X Change]

And I said, I was saying we're offering up Thailand and I'm saying no.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

The negotiations are closed. Category closed. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Category closed.

[Monet X Change]

Category closed. All right, well, all right, well, when I Buy my shit. I don't want to hear nothing about. I don't want to hear nothing after I do my shit with Kim Chi or. Or Plastique or Naomi. Okay, okay.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

First of all, the only reason I would ever leave the country with you is if I'm being paid to do it. Let's make that very clear. I would drive 20 minutes down the street to see you. And now that you're moving, bitch, I'm gonna clock it. If it is a minute over 20 minutes, I will never come see you, ever.

[Monet X Change]

Y' all hear this? Y' all hear this? Do y' all hear this? Loud and clear on this podcast.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Okay?

[Monet X Change]

We're gonna hold you to that.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. Bitch, pick your house up and move

[Monet X Change]

it closer to me or buy me

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

a house in the neighborhood. That is the only way I'll be visiting you. When you lived in Brooklyn, I came to visit you one time when I could get a ride from the airport, and you. I needed a place to stay. I didn't visit you until you came to live in my neighborhood in the Heights.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, so what if you turn into, like, a mean little black girl from any 90s sitcom show? But I can't do what you came to do in my house, my show. When did you become that girl?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

First of all, that's how I talk like this often. Okay? Let's make that clear, Miss Mama. All right.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, I have to go. I have to go shower and get ready for work.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

While I am working, you need a shower. I'm across the world and I had smelled you.

[Monet X Change]

I smell good. My front runners are Jimbo, Alexis, Michelle.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

For me, I think the top three are going to be Candy, Jimbo and Darion Lake. Those are the top three. I see in my mind. I really can't see it anywhere any other way.

[Monet X Change]

I say Jimbo, Alexis and Darion Lake.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

And also, they showed Monica's Runway the net.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Run away. It was not great.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I did not love it. I did not love it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

I did not love. So air week. And sometimes there are some real stunners in these. In these, like, sent home looks. It'd be some Arab or my army's Beyonce showed up.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Yeah. So good.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Who's the Puerto Rican drag queen from the other season?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

You gotta be coach. More specific. A lot of Puerto Ricans. There's a lot of Puerto Ricans on drag race.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

From 14.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Alexa Mateo.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

No, no, from season 14.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Oh, the one. The really. The really handsome one. The handsome one.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Alyssa Hunter.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Yeah. Yes. Had crazy Runway like, amazing runways. Did all, like, the photo shoots postseason. Like a really amazing, like, stuff that

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

they need to get to show.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she almost everything was.

[Guest or Additional Commentator]

Was like a. Like a shoot.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

She has some good looks. You know, Kim was the first girl I ever saw to do photo shoots for all of her looks. I'm not saying she's the first one ever did, but first one I saw do photo shoots for all of her looks and post them on social media. I really think Kim changed the game when it comes to Drag Race girls on social media.

[Monet X Change]

I think so too, but I think Kim has said she was the first one, and it's okay for Kim first. Why? Why? Why don't you want any of the other season eight girls to have their accolades? Like no one is. They owe me. I'm not taking Naomi boosts you up. Kim boost you up.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Because they owe me. Because they owe me.

[Monet X Change]

Acid Betty boost you up.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

But you owe me.

[Monet X Change]

I don't want to say that Kim was the first one. She was the first one. You can say that because they.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Because they owe. Because they owe me. The way you bowed out, the way you bow down to Jinx is how they bowed out on me.

[Monet X Change]

I don't. With Asian queens, you just. You love to diminish their accomplishments. That's sad. The way that I saw that video

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

of you kissing Jinx's feet on this tour. By the way, if you all want, I will DM the video of Monet literally kissing Jinx.

[Monet X Change]

You always diminishing the really great and amazing accolades of Asian queens. That's sad when they go, tell your

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

boyfriend to fuck Matt Rogers.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, again.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

How about that?

[Monet X Change]

You're sick. You're sick. What's it down?

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

It was actually.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. We had to go. We had to go.

[Bob the Drag Race Commentator]

Bye.

[Monet X Change]

Bye.
