  • Trinity: “I literally thought… because I remember meeting Gottmik before his transition… very pretty in the face, great body–they're kind of like tomboyish, but they got boobs." (00:13)

• The hosts discuss The Traitors and whether they'd make good reality TV villains. (02:08–03:10)

2. On the All Stars S9 Format

• A call for changes to the format: “There has to be some kind of danger for tension to exist.” – Monét (03:30)
• The chemistry, alliances, and paranoia in the Werk Room are explored, especially around who is considered a frontrunner. (04:50–07:35)

Transcript

[A]

Oh, so I saw Gottmik last night. You what? I saw Gottmik last night.

[B]

Oh, me too.

[A]

Did she say anything about the titties? Trinity, did you think the titties were real?

[B]

I. Girl, you got me. You had me. I literally thought, because I remember meeting Gottmik. The first time I ever met Gottmik was before his transition when he was a makeup artist. I didn't know that he did drag at the time. Maybe he didn't. I don't. I don't know at that time what Gottmik was doing, but I met Gottmik on the set of this prep commercial thing that I did.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

It was like the. The. The Prep Housewives of whatever. But it was like a comedy thing, and Gottmik was the makeup artist.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Okay. And so when I met Gottmik,

[C]

he

[B]

had, you know, he hadn't had his surgery. Soft surgery yet.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So. And I. I kind of remember thinking, because I didn't know that they were trans. Very, like, pretty in the face, great body. I was like, oh, they. They're kind of like tomboyish, but they got boobs. Yeah. Like, and not knowing anything about. I didn't know they were trans. I was just, like, analyzing this person in front of me. And so I was trying to think. When you were telling me this, I was trying to think back, did they have these big titties back then?

[A]

But I just love your wholesome reaction. Like, those some big ass titties, bitch, girl.

[B]

I mean, they were. I don't know why I thought this. Then on the comments I saw, someone was like, don't talk about her titties like that. I'm like.

[A]

I'm like, stop. First of all, got Mick literally commented on the video. Gottmik thought it was hysterical. So y' all swear y' all end

[B]

is like, titties don't make a man or a woman. What are we. What are we doing here?

[A]

Exactly?

[B]

What are we doing here?

[A]

Right? Literally. Turner and I did a podcast in this room talking about, like, we might get some titties.

[B]

I don't know. Anyway, yes, you got me. You did get me. And. And you were like, stone face, bitch. You are. You got to go on Traders.

[A]

I want to say, do you watch Traders?

[B]

Oh, yes.

[A]

Would you go on Traders?

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

I don't know what season they're recording now. Oh, season three. If y' all are casting for season three, you. Y' all need to have the twinners on Traders. What's poppin?

[B]

You'll be so good I would not be a good trader. Trader. I'm not a good liar.

[A]

Yeah, you're not a good liar.

[B]

I'm not a good liar.

[A]

But you. Okay. GIRL four. But what if. What if you're on the show, you get cast as a trader. You want to win that money, though, girl.

[B]

What. What happened is I think they would cast you as a trader, and you would. You would take advantage of the fact that I'm so gullible and I would believe you,

[A]

but I would take it to the end, though, for sure.

[B]

And then eliminate me right at the end.

[A]

No, what I would do is I would. What is good to be on the show is to be a recruited traitor, like, one who's like, a faithful, like, all the way through, and then halfway through, you get recruited.

[B]

Maybe I could do. Maybe I could lie after I've trusted you and I got used to things. That makes more sense. Yes. Put us on.

[A]

Ooh, the twitters on the traitors. I'm here for it, girls. That would be so good. Anyway, we're here to talk about RuPaul's Drag Race, not traitors. And this is episode four. You know what? This season is fun. It does feel like it's slow, though.

[B]

It's because it's very, like, Kumbaya. I know everybody says that every season.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That's. That's kind of like this, but I. Yeah, I think I'm missing the grimy, shady drag queens that we've been having in the regular seasons. The last couple.

[A]

Yes, exactly. The last season. Season 16 was great, girl. So good. Joking. Boots had a good point. He tweeted the no elimination format on Drag Race would be more exciting if landing in the bottom could lose you a badge. There has to be some kind of danger for tension to exist. I'm like, that's actually a cute twist. Like, if you land in the bottom, someone can take your badge.

[B]

Yeah. I think there totally needs to be something more at risk.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like stealing badges, giving more badges away. Like. Like, as we're going to see in this. This episode. That kind of does come into play.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And. And I think that's going to change next week when we. I haven't seen it, obviously.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What happens next with drama? I do think that's going to add to it.

[A]

But again, our season did not have this tension of drama. But people, it is like, one of the top tier direct seasons. I'm not just saying I was on it. That's what y' all be saying.

[B]

Yeah. But I don't think because we weren't boring. Yeah, we weren't boring.

[A]

So Gottmika comes into the work or top of the episode, and she has two badges. Did we. Did you see Gottmik as being the frontrunner of the season?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Gottmik is very talented. And what I remember from them on their original season, they were very funny.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And. And great looks, just not, like, not a strong dancer. I feel like, though, their stage Persona has even gotten better.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Well, that on the original season, Gottmika had not. Had rarely performed publicly. I think they had performed in drag on stage, in front of people twice or something like that.

[B]

Yeah. So they really developed this season. So I kind of thought they were going to be high up there, but they're really pushing through.

[A]

And I mean, also, Violet is your. Is Violet like, a drag? I think drag is her drag mother.

[B]

I don't know. I get, like, incestuous, like, hot chemistry. Like, they've, like, definitely.

[A]

Okay. I'm not the only one. Right. Like, in their Instagram stuff, they're, like, always naked and touching each other.

[B]

I wouldn't be mad about it because both of them are beautiful.

[A]

Beautiful. It's hot. But I'm like. It's like sister or mother or daughter. Wife.

[B]

Gottmik is a hoe.

[A]

Oh, Gottmik is bitch. They. Did you see her and Vanjie were talking on. On this I Live and that. They went over for Netflix and Chill

[B]

Vanjie, and she's all hot about all these men I Live.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I. Gottmik is.

[A]

Is everything.

[B]

We all really are. Really? Yeah. Just whores.

[A]

Well, that's the thing. I was a whore a lot in my twenties. Right.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like. Okay, I'm curious about this Trinity. What would you say your number is?

[B]

Oh, girl, I don't. I don't know. I'm. I'm. I'm pushing 40. I have no idea what my number. I. I've been sexually active since I was 14.

[A]

Same. So, like, my number is high up

[B]

there, so I was never good at math.

[A]

Yeah. So. And yeah. Yeah, we're all gay men, so. We're all gay.

[B]

I could probably buy a car. Okay, let's just say that.

[A]

That everyone in the room, they're having this conversation about cliques versus alliances. And I see.

[B]

It's cliquey.

[A]

It's cliquey. So they're saying they're not alliances, they're cliques, which we kind of see later on. Cause we're gonna get to this. Cause they talk about giving the badges away and they give the badges away.

[B]

And.

[A]

And Gottmik thinks an alliance. Well, Gottmik thinks that Chanel and Angeria has some sort of alliance that they're not telling everyone. And I don't see. Not unless there's something happening off camera.

[B]

They did not allude to that at all.

[A]

At all. With the editing. With the editing at all. And I feel like if that was going, the editing would give us some type of, like, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, like, with us.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But I don't think. I think Gatmika is being a little paranoid.

[B]

Yeah. I think. And rightfully so, because they're a front runner, and they're thinking, what's gonna happen, you know, if I do this, then it might cause me to get cut off or something like that. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. And her big thing was because, like, in the lip sync in the previous episode, they were just going up for Nina and cheering for her, but no one was cheering for. Gotten mixed. So that's why she felt. Well, and Drewia and Chanel specifically. So that's why she felt I didn't like that.

[B]

This is my thing. You don't have to have these girls like you. You don't have to have these girls root for you. You're in a competition. Who cares?

[A]

Yeah. And you're a front runner. You're doing really well.

[B]

Who cares if they don't like you? If they don't like you, there's a reason, and it's because you're good.

[A]

You're good. You're killing it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, so we get to give the badges away. Right. And this, I find, is very shady because literally in the episode before, Nina west was like. And, you know, I feel like I would give my. If I had an extra. If I win the challenge, I. I would give it to Chanel. And bitch in Chanel face. She plays right in her face, and she gives her badge to Roxy instead of Chanel. I find that to be very shady.

[B]

I think that if. I agree. I. I think that if. If you're like. If you're truly friends with somebody and you have already set that tone. Like, I'm not. I. I can't. I can never be like, a. What is the word for that? Like, we. Where you say one thing and then

[A]

you do it a two face.

[B]

Like, I can't. I can't do that. Like, I would rather sacrifice something than to go back on my word.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I would never do that. So I. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

And they sit there, they paint next to each other. Like, they seem to Be. They seem to be clicked up. And then for her to just be like, well, I'm gonna give it to Roxy. But allegedly she gives it to Roxy. Cause Roxy helped her in the sewing challenge.

[B]

But I think the reason why she really gave it to her was because she was being accused of them being in an alliance and she wanted to deflect.

[A]

Ooh, possibly.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I mean, and Chanel hasn't won anything yet, and she's only. We're roughly approaching halfway, so it's not in danger mode yet, but, you know. Yeah, it's getting up there.

[B]

Oh, yes, Molly, you're in danger, girl.

[A]

And Mick gives her to Vanjie, which we also know if Mick did not give it to Vanjie, that would have been such a good tv. Oh.

[B]

So. Yeah, because they're, like, good.

[A]

Oh, yeah, they're tight. Uh huh. Yeah. So that would have been really cunty. She didn't give it to me too, but she did.

[B]

We had sex and you ain't giving me a badge, right.

[A]

I was like, I gave you this pussy. The least you can give me was a badge, girl. Like, come on.

[B]

Right?

[A]

So Ru comes in and he tells us the challenge. And this week is a makeover challenge. And they have to make over firefighters. But not just makeover. They have to make them into girl groups. Write a verse. This is a lot.

[B]

Yeah, it's a big challenge.

[A]

It's a very big challenge, which I don't feel they really sell how big this challenge is because, like, just making someone over alone and like editing and altering the clothes to make sure, like, they fit the person to look good is one thing. And painting them. But now you have to. It's two challenges. Is the write of her challenge. They had to choreograph the verse.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And do the makeover. I think this is a very big challenge.

[B]

It's like, it's literally two challenges mixed into one. It's girl group and makeover into one, which is crazy. And then you're having to rely on another competitor to. To do, you know, in some of the girls as well. Like, didn't seem like they were doing nothing, honey. Like, they were just dead weight. But what I'm. What I'm curious on is I felt like some of the girls brought three looks and some of the girls didn't bring three looks. So I'm curious to know if they were prompted for that.

[A]

Yeah. Like you like. So for. Well, for All Stars 4, when we had the makeover challenge, we, like, we knew we were gonna have a Makeover. So, like, some of us brought stuff. Some of us brought fabric. I brought two outfits, like, one for a big girl and one for a smaller girl, just in case. I don't know what it. But in even that one, we had to do. We also had to do the Judy. The Judy Garland dance thing that we had to recreate.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But I don't feel like that was weighted very heavily. Or was it because they didn't even show it on tv. We all. We had to do that fucking Judy. We had to choreograph that whole thing, and they barely showed.

[B]

I think, for All Star. Are you talking about All Stars 4?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I think that definitely weighed heavy on how the judges judged.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But I think that they, because of time, they edited that down because I don't think people saw how good your choreography really was, because y' all were. That was like a Broadway.

[A]

We, we. We turned it.

[B]

It was a number.

[A]

We turned it. And, like, no shade, like.

[B]

And nobody else came close to Yalls choreography.

[A]

And, And I think that's what edged me to the theme because I, I, I think my makeover Patty was okay, but I think what really sold it was our dance.

[B]

Oh, girl. Y' all were. Y' all were. It was a production.

[A]

Thank you. It was fun. And then. But, like, again, Trinity fucking. You turned Leo out, like, because also you, you mainly. I was there. I didn't.

[C]

You.

[B]

I didn't know he was going to be there.

[A]

No. So you. But you made the outfit.

[B]

Oh, no, I didn't. I brought those.

[A]

You brought. Okay.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Actually shout out to this amazing trans woman in. She's actually from my hometown in Birmingham, Alabama, but she lives in Orlando, where I live now. Her name's Tasha Long. She's a huge pageant queen. She made those garments. And she sells sometimes for people, but not all the time. But look her up. She's an amazing illusionist. She does Tina Turner. Whitney Houston. Who is Whitney Houston's aunt?

[A]

Dionne Warwick.

[B]

She does Fierce Dionne Warwick, like, a lot of characters, and she's won every major pageant title.

[A]

There is work.

[B]

So go, go look her up. Tasha Long.

[A]

Tasha Long. And then, not to be confused with Tasha Salah, which is Roxy Andrews. So Trinity had. Trinity's fucking makeover was everything. But Leo is not a dancer at Girl, Girl three left feet, girl.

[B]

He might as well had no no feet, bitch.

[A]

So the dancing was hard for you

[B]

because Leo, I think that's why I didn't. I wasn't in the top.

[A]

Yeah, because your makeover was stunning.

[B]

Yeah, I think the makeover was good. I just. Yeah, the dancing and there was. That was. That was all I could do, sweetie. There was no. There was no pulling there without weight.

[A]

And in other seasons of Drag Race when we had to like choreograph ourselves or some of the challenges that let me say, like, we would do it on camera, they would get someone to help. But for those we. We didn't get, we got no help. So I'm assuming they got no help either. They just had to choreograph it all because it wasn't anything crazy. It was very step touched. And then. Yeah, so that's the challenge this week. And then they have to. Everyone is paired with people. It's paired with people. Anjuri and Chanel, Roxy and Vanjie, Mick and Nina and Plastique and Georges. Did they pick these? I forgot how they got chose.

[B]

The girls picked these. Yeah, they split them up. But some of the pairings are very unusual.

[A]

Yeah, but also Angeria and Chanel pairing themselves together after what Gottmik just said, I was like, maybe it does exist, the alliance. But anyway, they do this little speed day. So I find this part very cute.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, my God. What do you think about the five fighters, girl? Only two of them I thought were hot.

[B]

All four of them were hot.

[A]

No, I disagree.

[B]

Oh, girl. All four of them. The hottest one to me was the macho one that Nina got. I thought he was hot.

[A]

I thought he was hot. And I thought also the tall one was. The tall one's very pretty.

[B]

The tall one was very pretty. You know, he has a huge girl.

[A]

That tall, lanky, slenderman ass looking motherfucker, girl slinging girl.

[B]

He could choke me, rob me, leave me in a ditch. And I would say thank you.

[A]

Set me on fire, girl.

[B]

Set me on fire and I will crystallize. Okay.

[A]

Yeah, I thought he was very hot.

[B]

I thought the daddy was hot.

[A]

Which one was the daddy for the.

[B]

He is old. Like as old as he was. Girl, he was.

[A]

Girl, he was 45. Oh, no, I'm kidding. I have no idea.

[B]

Well, he has like a 20 something year old. He was older.

[A]

He was old.

[B]

He was older, but I thought he was cute. And then the other guy, the black guy. Yeah, I thought he was a good. I think he had a great personality. He had a beautiful smile.

[A]

Maybe if we saw body, I would have been into it. But I think it's because I think, okay, the two, I think they were hot. Number one, Nina's guy, he took his out his shirt off. And I was like, oh my God, his body's hot.

[B]

[B]

They're hyped.

[A]

They're really hyped about it. Yeah, Yeah.

[B]

I think they're hyped about their idea of their looks because they're. They're saying this is like Powerpuff Girls.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then, you know, obviously they're the

[A]

two

[B]

feminine great painters.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

12 year olds, you know, together. So they're like.

[A]

Well, a lot of the teams seem to like, really complete each other, except for Anger and Chernobyl. Because, like you have Mick and Nina. Right. Mick is very good at makeover.

[B]

Y.

[A]

No, I say sorry. With Vanjie and Roxy. Like, Roxy can make the outfits and Van can. Can. Can choreograph.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

With Chanel and. And Andrea can. Andrea is. I think she's a good dancer. Am I making that up?

[B]

I don't think she's a good dancer. No. I think she's decent. Like she can do choreography, but I don't think she's like a. She's not a dancer. No.

[A]

Well, Chanel can paint. Everyone has a makeup person. Chanel can paint.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Roxy. Well, no. Damn. I guess none of these teams are really setting it off for me. I think they're all fine.

[B]

I feel like plastique and. And Georgeous are the. The closest to. Neither one can sew, but I think that they can style. I think that they like George's can dance, so can plastique, and both of them can do makeup.

[A]

Yeah. And then who is it? Who's the team? I forget it's a team. I keep on leaving out on Nina and Mick and when. Well, Mick is like struggling with Nina because Nina pulls out the dresses which are.

[B]

Well, girl. Like, well, girl, would you not like if you were like.

[A]

I.

[B]

Let me. Let me preface this. I love Nina.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I've known Nina for years. We did pageants together. She beat me.

[A]

For which pageant?

[B]

For eoi.

[A]

Eoi when she won the living dress. You did that year as well?

[B]

Yes. And she was incredible. I mean, like, there was no denying her there. But fashion is just, you know, it's. It's not Nina's. It's not best quality.

[A]

But then I'm like, why did they lean into Nina's office and make not being. Bring makeover outfits too? Like, why did they not.

[B]

Maybe that way she didn't bring like a, like the right sizes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, because Nina is a big girl. Like, like broad shouldered linebacker. A girl.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Truck driver.

[A]

Well, I mean.

[B]

And I think she would describe herself this way. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. For sure.

[B]

Yeah. Well, she.

[A]

And they're pulling out all these wigs, and I'm like.

[B]

Like, this is not her aesthetic at all. But I will say gummy kind of pulled it off at the end.

[A]

Yes. I was like, that is a cute. Like, I love this ending silhouette. How I ended up coming out, I thought it was great.

[B]

She's great at styling.

[A]

Yeah, she's really good at styling. And Gottmik's hair, like, her hairlines on her wigs are kind of crazy. On tv, it's. Well, bitch.

[B]

If I knew the people she knows with those kind of wallets, I would too. Bitch.

[A]

Girl, he's in.

[B]

She has the right friends.

[A]

Yes, he's in Paris. Jean Jean Baptiste. He does.

[B]

Like, I bought one wig from him, and as much as that cost me, I said, I'm bankrupt, bitch.

[A]

I can't really. I want to reach out for a wig. Really?

[B]

My entrance hair From All Stars 7, the purple finger wave. That was John Baptiste work. But girl, an arm and a leg, like, literally, like a thousand dollars for that, for a finger wave. And I thought when. When he priced it, because I never got a price from him before. And I was like, reaching out to everybody, getting ready, and. And. And asked him about this hair that I saw, and he priced it and he was like, oh, I'm so excited that you're gonna wear my hair. I was kind of like. I was too scared to be like, no, I can't afford that.

[A]

Yeah, it's too late.

[B]

So I was like, okay.

[A]

The amount of costume things I purchased because I was too far down and I didn't want to be like, girl,

[B]

because I'm not the girl. If once I say I'm gonna do it.

[A]

Yeah. I'm like, I'm already here. And then I'm like, well, it is what it is now. Okay, but he's in France. So do you, like, send him your measurements? Like, how does he.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you send. You send. What are you talking about? For hair.

[A]

For hair.

[B]

Oh, no, this was already a pre made.

[A]

Oh, it was. Man, you got.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm sure. And girl, that wasn't even custom, so can you imagine what a custom is? Girl, a thousand for a pre made. Ms. Thing, you are selling your organs.

[A]

Girl, you gotta harvest the organism.

[B]

Girl, giving a liver a kidney work.

[A]

But I mean, yeah, but yeah, these girls if. If plastique last. Allegedly. Or this is allegedly. This is not from plastics. What I'm just hearing on the Internet. And so that she spent close to $200,000. I could imagine what got mixed spent like these girls are spent, girl, on this. On the show.

[B]

Well, they spent the entire budget for the show in their wardrobe combined, which

[A]

it might pay off because I think Got Mick. Let me look really quick. I think Got Mick has like, one of the most liked pictures by Ruger. The one does the Scream one. It currently has 530,000 likes on that picture.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

So, I mean, I guess it's paying off, girl.

[B]

Good for Gottmik.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Let me see. Let me see.

[B]

I just want to let anybody know I will never spend that kind of money on wardrobes to go on Drag Race. I might. If they asked me to go on again, I probably would do another season. But yeah, you best believe I ain't spending a $200,000 like it though.

[A]

You're. You're. You always come. You always come with a very.

[B]

I'm going to have to wait a couple of years. I'm going to let a lot of disappointments come on the Runway before I come back because I'm not trying to compete with plastique.

[A]

I think plastic is second her. Her one that she made Last episode has 440,000.

[B]

Girl. That is insane. I know.

[A]

These girls are.

[B]

Why aren't you out there liking our likes, Our pictures like that bitch? By the way, I have a new music video out right now. Like it, Miss Jesus Christ. And I need you all to go look at it on my YouTube, honey. She's cost me too much money. I'm. I'm another one. I'm bankrupt.

[B]

I mean, speaking of your music. Okay, so last night we were at WeHo Pride.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you were a guest.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you did like a 30 minute set.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

With dancers. Girl, you are fierce. Thank you. I think I told you this last night. You go to concerts and stuff and you hear these live singers and they're just never as good as how they sound on there. You sound exactly how you sound on your records. Like, it was. I was impressed. I was like, oh, my God, that's much weird.

[A]

Thank you. Well, I was there in the trailer getting ready and Patty comes in, coming, like, we have a surprise. I was like, who?

[D]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Trinity.

[A]

I was pleasantly surprised to see you. I love it.

[B]

You looked amazing. That hair.

[A]

Thank you. That's Ty, girl.

[B]

The little outfit. And your dancer.

[A]

Yeah, girl.

[B]

And the lighting in the wind and the fog. I was like, girl, this is production.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Girl, you are living your fantasy.

[A]

I was crying, girl. I'm like.

[B]

I was like, okay. I can see this, like literally touring. Thank you for your opening act.

[A]

No, girl, we're going to do it together. Cuz you're. You have a lot of music.

[B]

I have way too much bad music.

[A]

You have three albums out now.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, I do.

[A]

It's your third album.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Work. Is that your. Call it your junior album? Cuz you do your first.

[B]

I have no idea.

[A]

Yeah, girl.

[B]

A bunch of auto tune stuff.

[A]

But it's great music though.

[B]

This. This newest album, I'm really proud of it. It is really good music. The producer, Drew, I have to give him a shout out. Drew, he really. Because I've never been vocally trained at all and he really pushed me to like actually sing. So all of the, like the ad libs and background vocals and harmonies and everything is all me.

[A]

Well, girl, so that becomes us. You sound very good on it.

[B]

Yeah, he did it. He. He really pushed me.

[A]

You sound great.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

You sound. You know. Frank Sinatra didn't know he can sing. Frank Sinatra, the iconic Frank Sinatra did not know he could sing until he was like 40 years old.

[D]

What?

[A]

Yes. And so like, just because. What was.

[B]

What was that gay Ass man doing before 40 years old. Honey. What. What was he doing?

[A]

Wait, Frank S. Gay.

[B]

Oh, wait, Frank. Wrong. I was thinking of what's his name from Snatch Game.

[A]

Paul Lind.

[B]

No. Liberace. That's what I was thinking. Frank Sinatra. Liberace.

[A]

No. Frank Sinatra.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

What was he doing before the end?

[A]

I don't know what he was doing. I don't remember the story.

[B]

Selling cars.

[A]

Yeah, girl. But he did not know he could sing. And he is so. You may be a Frank Sinatra.

[B]

That is absolutely incorrect.

[A]

So the girl's like, oh, so Nina and Chanel. I mean, Andrea and Chanel. Chanel is pulling out these outfits. And I was like, these are terrible, girl.

[B]

She did not read the memo, right?

[A]

Aesthetically, I just. You know what? I know that for some people, that's a drag to kind of like and like that kind of thing, but aesthetic, I was like, this does not look good.

[B]

It's. It's. There is validity in that type of drag. It's old school. Old school. Old school Dragon, you know, from like, old. And wait, where's the very old vintage girl? But she. She has the. Chanel is a showgirl. Like, she's. She's one of those old school queens that literally throw everything on it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you can tell by how she decorates. She is not a minimalist thing, right? Not a minimalist.

[A]

Maximalist to the team. These office is like sequins with the big stones and the feathers and the Abraham Levy. And it's like.

[B]

And you already know that that anger was fine with that because she's the.

[A]

She's the maximum.

[B]

She's a. She's a passion queen, too. She's like an old school pageant queen at heart. And she. She was like, yes. Yeah, I will wear this Christmas tree. And then that. That tall man in drag had no choice, girl. Sweetie.

[A]

Well, he. I found it to be very interesting because he was. Besides the older guy with the kids, I think he was straight as well. But he was telling a story about how he finds community in queer spaces. And I was like, it is so interesting that it's like, yeah, he going

[B]

in there and getting his dick sucked, Right? I'm like, you know, it's kind of community. It all feels the same in the dark.

[A]

What's community's name, Girl?

[B]

A sheet. A bed sheet that you roll up on.

[A]

Honey, let me tell you something. I will guarantee you Bradley has answered

[B]

a grinder and stuck it through a hole in a sheet.

[A]

A glory hole only.

[B]

Oh, girl.

[A]

He walks into that Door. He pulled his dick out, got his dick sucked, and pumped it home, knowing

[B]

exactly what's going on.

[D]

Don't.

[B]

Don't make a. Don't make a peep. I'm going to. I'm going to fantasize, girl.

[A]

So somebody he found, he finds community, queer space. I was like, I'm sure you definitely

[B]

found lots of community.

[A]

Y' all come together communal. Then we get to the dance and rehearsal, and Mick and Nina, when I say, oh, yeah, I. I love that Mick and Nina's person, the. The guy, he's like, I want to, like, embrace my masculinity. Like, And I'm like, this is such a. I, I, I. I like that they're allowing him to be in that space and not, like, shutting down and making them be, like, false C. And try to be feminine.

[B]

Like, he's gonna embrace that was never gonna happen.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So, yeah, work with what you got.

[A]

With what you got. And I think that's a very smart way to make up. Don't force your makeover to be something they're not. Like, let them be what they want to be.

[B]

He kind of reminded me of. Of Morphine. Like, if Morphine was a bodybuilder. If you look. If you look at him in drag, it kind of looked like if Morphine was on, like, steroids and, like, severely worked out, that's what she would look like, because, yeah, she was painted.

[A]

Yeah, she got. We'll get there. Yeah. But also, sidebar, add more Met Morphine last night. I met her once with the Love Ball, but it was, like, a lot going on, and just. I met her last night. We, like, hung out, like, did shots together. I'm obsessed with Morphe.

[B]

I love her.

[A]

She's a Kiki, no shade. There are a lot of Drag Race seasons. There are a lot of new girls, and sometimes you meet the new girl and you're like, okay, yeah, girl with her. Like, I could, like, actually kiki with her and be with her. And I'm like, I really enjoy her.

[B]

Yeah, she's a good time.

[A]

She's a good time.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And like. And also, a lot of girls are sober, which is fab. I love the girls that. That drink and party a little bit. It's great.

[B]

Yeah, I. I don't judge, you know, Give me an edible. I'm great.

[A]

Trinity loves edibles now. I love that. You love.

[B]

Oh, you did it. All Stars 4, bitch. No, All Stars 7.

[A]

All Stars 7.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

All Stars 7. Fucking. I cannot believe. And this happened with my makeover. But it's my assistant, so he fucking knew better. But Plastique and George, this guy, they let him shave his eyebrows. I was like, if I was a regular, I would not let them shave my eyebrows. If I was just a regular human being.

[B]

Oh, I would not let them, if I was him, shave my eyebrows. But if he offered, if I would, girl, I would have gladly shaved Leo's brows if he would have let me.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, you didn't need to. You didn't need to, though.

[B]

No, no. Yeah, I didn't need to, but.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But I'm saying that it just makes it so much easier.

[A]

Easier, less time.

[B]

And what. What? I really. He was my favorite because he was just so willing to do whatever he needed to do.

[A]

Yeah. Each one, like, I was like. I liked each one for different reasons. Like, I love this. I love the straight dad. Oh, it's not the. The dad with kids. Because I love his story about his. Like, his. His children. I thought that was very beautiful.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The black guy. I love how committed to it.

[B]

He was willing to do it all.

[A]

Like, when you're doing a makeover, you want someone that's willing to do everything for you to win.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He was like, yeah, cut my dick off.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

I don't care. Yeah, I don't need it today.

[B]

Yeah. I'll spit in Ru's face.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

What do I need to do? Yeah.

[A]

And I loved how Mick and Nina's guy was just so. He was. He. He. He was. He was. He was allowing how they let him be who he wanted to be, and that really shown through. I didn't feel like they were, like, twisting him.

[B]

He was a great mixture of Nina and Gottmik. Pretty like Gottmik. Masculine like Nina

[A]

the shade. I also resonate with the black guy talking about how, like, when he was coming out as gay, his family was, like, really concerned with how feminine he was gonna be. And again, but that wasn't the thing in my family. That was what I was making up in my head. I thought that my family would be so, like, you can be gay, but just don't be, like, a faggot. You know what I mean? And when I did come out to my family, they love me being in drag. They love all that stuff. But that's something I had in my head, and knowing that that was actually his actual experience. And George's talks about it too, and I'm sure a lot of people identify with, oh, bitch.

[B]

My family had no choice.

[A]

You were, like, gay.

[B]

I was Girl, I was in my grandmother's silk slips that she would wear at night. Girls just twirling, twirling through the house, girl. And they were just looking at me

[A]

like, go with the wind, girl.

[B]

Completely. I got a girlfriend. Okay.

[A]

So did you ever, like, come out out, or you just, like. Oh, I.

[B]

Yes. I mean, looking at me, you could tell. But When I was 16, I was out at. Yes, for sure.

[A]

Oh, you were outed.

[B]

Oh, girl. By my cousin. At my great grandfather's funeral. To my entire family. Yeah.

[A]

At the funeral.

[B]

Funeral. My sister pulled me into the bathroom and was crying more about me being gay than about my great great grandfather's death. Yeah. I was bamboozled. I was ambushed by the casket. Damn. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[A]

Damn. That's. That's tough. That's shady.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then Vanjie. Oh, having Roxy on. Okay. In a makeover challenge, if I had to be partnered with people, I want Roxy. I want Trinity, because them bitches can sew and so fast. And Roxy made all three of those outfits.

[B]

She is immaculate with that.

[A]

So good. Quick. So fast. Right? All three of them. Which we talk about this specific. But I was like, would you, like, pull out the fabric? And this is some Trinity shit. When Trinity came to All Stars, Trinity brought, like, Ryan. So what I wear in my money, money, money. The talent episode, I want. Trinity brought that fabric to Drag Race. This was not on the. On the fucking fabric wall. Trinity brought both of fabric to Drag Race.

[B]

Go. I tell everybody. Everybody that's auditioning, if you are out there, you better take your own trims, rhinestones, extra fabric, your own large hot glue gun, because all they have is those little bitty, tiny baby ones that are awful. Your own scissors, your own meas. Literally everything that you need. Your patterns, anything, everything. And then make sure that you don't leave them in your hotel room and make the producer go and dig through the trash.

[A]

That is my favorite story. Can we please tell that story, girl?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So, bitch, we are. Was it that Money Money one?

[B]

No, no, it was for the.

[A]

The RuPaul one.

[B]

It was for the second makeover. Yes, the RuPaul. The RuPaul one.

[A]

So if you're making this thing. So Trinity again, Trinity brings all this stuff with her to Dragon because she's. This is her third time doing it. She's very prepared, and she is like. She has feathers, stones, everything, Right? So we're on. We're on set making that episode, and then we go home that night. We finished off day one. We come back the next Day. And Trinity was gonna let Jinx borrow feathers.

[B]

Yeah. Was he gonna let her have some of my feathers? Because I brought a bunch of, like, these black ostrich feathers. Yeah.

[A]

So put on her look to, like, elevate her look.

[B]

Yeah. Because she needed it.

[A]

So then Trinity was like, yeah, let me go. I'm gonna. This is my thing. We're gonna look for them. Then we. Trinity comes back. She is like, we just had Trinity, where are my feathers? And then so the truth is looking for, like, I left them right here. There was a bag with rhinestones, feathers, glue, nickels, pennies. Everything was in the bag. This bag was right here. Somebody to find my bag. So Trinity production starts running around trying to find Trinity's bag of rice.

[B]

I told him, I said, if y' all don't find that. I know somebody threw this away. And if y' all don't find this, you're going to owe me hundreds of dollars.

[A]

You said hundreds of thousands of dollars. So then the showrunner, executive producer, the

[B]

executive producer of RuPaul's Drag Race, Mandy. Mandy, this beautiful butch lesbian.

[A]

Yes, yes. She goes to get in the dumpster.

[B]

The dumpster. Not. Not a trash can. A dumpster.

[A]

She's like, y' all threw it away. And so Manny's like, oh, my God, did we throw them away? So Manny is in the dumpster, and I'm waiting. Trinity is waiting at her station. Manny is in the dumpster looking for Trinity's rhinestone, the bag of feathers and rhinestones, because we thought they threw him away. So then she comes back. She's like, we've looked everywhere. I was personally in the dumpsters looking Trinity. We don't see this bag anymore.

[B]

Then a PA Is like, we got him. We got the feathers. We got the feathers. She left them in a room. Girl. Okay, I, I. I am not taking accountability for this. Okay, Let me tell you why they worked us to the bone the night before, I was exhausted. I was up all night, and I had left those things. I didn't even remember that I took them to the hotel room.

[A]

Okay, that was hilarious. Like, they're in a hotel room. Yeah, that shit was funny. Okay, and shall we get to the looks?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Girl, this episode is chaotic.

[A]

I love it. I love it because we're together.

[B]

Sweaters.

[A]

Okay, so let's talk with RuPaul's. Look, I didn't love this at the size. It was too bunchy.

[B]

I like it. I like it better than I liked last week's. It's another wrinkled garbage bag. But I do like this better than last week. I. I'm not a huge fan of this particular wig on Roux. I've. I've seen her wear this one multiple times. There's certain hairs that make rue look younger.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And this is one that I feel like makes her look, like, a little older. Yeah, she looks great overall.

[A]

Yeah, for sure. My favorite will always be just a circle. Orange redhead. Yeah, Orange one. It looks so good.

[B]

My favorite too.

[A]

Yeah, I think Michelle looks hot.

[B]

And girl, see, this is what I'm talking about with Michelle. She's either matronly, like grandmother or hot pop star. And right now, she's hot pop, so

[A]

she looks so sexy. Sexy I like. So Ross Matthews sent me this. I think this is from his line. He sent me the pants and the shirt. It's actually very good because the pants, they're dress pants with, like, a very thick cotton. So when you think, like, thick like us, like, it hugs you in the right way and it looks shapely on you. So this, if this is from his collection, it's actually, I. I like this. The. The quality is really good. And I like this.

[B]

Oh, okay. I like the color.

[A]

The color is good.

[B]

Yeah, it's nice.

[A]

The brothers Osborne, they're the cute. I like that. They're. They're contrasting patterns.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. One's cute, one's not, One's in white, one's in black. Yeah. One's gay, one's straight. You know, you decide which one.

[A]

The duality. The duality. Okay. The first group, the Hoses, featuring Valerie Valentine. Okay. So they each come out one by one in this. And I'm sorry, when the. When Valerie revealed her face, I was like, girl, bitch, Jump scare girl.

[B]

Jump scare girl. And that. That hairline, girl, it is back, back, back, back, back again.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Why was that? Like, why would they make her forehead? I. I don't understand.

[B]

Because that wig was made for Roxy. Andre definitely there to make it clear. Girl, it was. It was. It was jump scare. But you know what? The paint is not necessarily the paint. I think it may just be that she just has that kind of face.

[A]

The canvas.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I think as a whole, this group looks very cohesive.

[B]

They look very put together.

[A]

They're very put together. Roxy and what. Roxy's so brilliant and so good. It's in Trinity shit, too. She put built in panties into her and Vanjie's thing. So one is riding up. Like, it just looks. It looks intentional.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Like, it looks sexy. But they, as a group, they look hot, fierce.

[B]

The hair, all of it looks really well put together. Even the one. Their makeover well put together. Just, you know, she just is not. She's just not a looker.

[A]

Yeah. Even like the age, they all have the same asymmetrical skirt.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Like, it look. It all looks really good together. But as far as.

[B]

Even like the gold strappy shoes. All of that gold strappy shoes.

[A]

Yeah, it's really good. So I think they look really good. Okay, so their verse goes. We're here to slay your life so hide all the guys body snatch Our wigs all match and thighs be supersized Vanjie Val and Roxxxy hair so open up and listen clear you started up. We put it out. So catch us outside. Okay.

[B]

I mean, it's nothing to write home about. Yeah, I like the body snatch. Our wigs all match and thighs be super sized. I like that part.

[A]

I like that too. And I think watching them perform, they look. There wasn't any, like, stumbling.

[B]

No, no, it good. It was good.

[A]

It was a good visual.

[B]

It was good.

[A]

Next up, Meow Mix.

[B]

Meow Mix. I love this.

[A]

Loved.

[B]

I I. One thing that gets me so irritated with Michelle is she always feels like the outfits have to be so matchy matchy, matchy, matchy matchy matchy that, like, this is cohesive. It looks like a girl group.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Not. Not all girl groups are in the same exact fabric 100%. And girl. She was in a girl group. She would know exactly.

[A]

I went. When she. When she said that critique, I was like, I fudgeing. Hate that. They do not all have to have the same fabric. So we know that this ain't. This looks like a girl group.

[B]

It looks like a girl group and it shows exact their references. If you look at the Powerpuff Girls, they are pink and black, green and black, blue and black.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, literally this.

[A]

Yeah. Like, I don't understand. And I think they look great also. My only thing is that how do they get the names? Like, what?

[B]

I think this makes me think that they brought some of them brought threes of things.

[A]

But how do. How do they know the Angelique name

[B]

that she probably just made it there, like, because that's probably Marker. Like Sharpie.

[A]

Oh, Marker, Sharpie. Something like that. That makes sense. Like fabric marker.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

On a. Yeah.

[B]

And then just rhinestone it or. Or already had it plant pre planned or something. I don't know.

[A]

Because George actually. No, because George says George.

[B]

Maybe they did that. They had to have done it there.

[A]

Yeah. Right.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think Plastics one looks custom, though, because it's like in the pipeline or the thing. And I think these are Plastique's collection.

[B]

Plastique is very creative, though, like that. I could see her doing that.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, I see it. I like it. I think. But I think aesthetically I love how

[B]

they look and she looks like a drag queen that I know.

[A]

She looks good.

[B]

Like her paint. Really good, right?

[A]

She looks really good.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I didn't love just the glitter there. Something about the eye makeup was illustrated to me. But I loved the contouring. Everything else was good. The eye makeup looks a little. It was a little too soft. I think she did something a little harder.

[B]

Really? This is a Monet paint. I can see this on you.

[A]

Yeah, I do do that, but I

[B]

think she looks gorgeous. Yeah, I mean, I guess. But if looking at those two, like, they're soft.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

I think she looks this. This was my favorite makeover.

[A]

Amazing. Yeah, amazing.

[B]

And their verse is Plastique Tiara Angelique. What girl, what Georgeous Cool ass cats about to get burned Meow meow mix about to get turned from hotlanta to la sophisticated But I came to slay helper by day, matron at night. What is that? Matron at night. Come on, boy. We about to get hype lit. Ass face fear head Wait. Face fear head on. Look into the fire. Come on.

[D]

I like these.

[A]

Yeah, I think it's good. I think it's good because I think that's where Angelique was from. Hotline.

[B]

Yeah, Atlanta. And they call it Atlanta Hotline.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. But I thought.

[A]

I thought this group was strong. I thought they were very good. Yeah. The match, anyway. The Pussycat Hoes featuring Natasha Bradley. Hated this. I hate these looks. I hate everything about this. I do not like any of this.

[B]

The shoes match.

[A]

The shoes match barely because of me. Chanel is in blue. I hate this. I hate this.

[B]

I don't hate it. I don't hate it as much as you hate it.

[A]

I.

[B]

It is not my favorite. It is garment wise. It is my least favorite.

[A]

Yeah, for sure.

[B]

But I don't hate it. I think that their girl that they made over is painted. Really painted.

[A]

I hate it. With the.

[B]

I think painted. You don't think she's painted?

[A]

No, because the left eye, like, if you're looking at. Looking at the screen, the one on the right, her left eye, it was like she had a wonky lash.

[B]

Well, girl, she went to the school of Gia. Gross. I did not like.

[A]

I did not like her. I did not like the painted of her.

[B]

No, I love it. I think she looks. To me, she looks like. Like, if you show me this picture right here, that looks like a real drag queen.

[A]

I do agree. This little side profile, I can see that. But overall, I was like. I was like, I don't like this. I feel like they made this bitch look crazy. I did not like it.

[B]

It was my least favorite. But I think that. I don't think it was that bad. I think that could have went worse.

[A]

I do think the paint on her is better than. Than. Than Roxy and Vanjie's girl.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah, for sure.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Actually, yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Thinking back when they went untucked, Roxanne Vanity, girl, she was closing her eyes, and I was like.

[B]

But then, well, you know, the Roxy paint only works on Roxy.

[C]

On.

[A]

Only on Roxy. I agree with this. Roxy's paint only works on Roxy. 1000%. I agree with that. This is their verse. My pussy's burning up My feline fever is turning up Scratching at my back door Because I've been a little hoe Hissing while I'm pissing Hissing while I'm pissing Take it to the vet so my man can get it wet Girl, I live. I love this verse.

[B]

This is probably the best verse.

[A]

I loved it. Hissing while I'm pissing his things While

[B]

I'm pissing Take it to the vet so my man can get it wet that is years.

[A]

I love that. That was good. That was really good.

[B]

Yep, I love it. Next up is the Hose Draggers. I hate that name. Really. I get it. I get why they did it, because it. It ties it. But. But I really like the. These outfits. They really did a number, though, with her. Her silhouette, the boobs, and there's no waist. It is kind of.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They did her dirty. And, girl, this is, to me, probably the best Nina has looked.

[A]

She looks great.

[B]

Like, the hairstyle, the silhouette, the outfit. I'm. I'm. I'm guys. And then Gottmik, girl, she put this together. I don't. I don't know how.

[A]

The way she snatched the dress, I'm like, well, Gottmik, why don't you. Why don't you do that for Anita Blaze?

[B]

I don't know, but this looks. This looks great. And I like that. They're all in the same pattern, but different colors. Her paint. You see what I'm saying? It looks. It looks like morphine, but morphine was on steroids, literally.

[A]

But I think that. That the mug on Anita Blaze is gone. Mick Beat that mug into submission, girl. She looks amazing. But I'm only like, why didn't they. Because I think the reason why she. Because her and Gottmik have a similar silhouette going on, I think got. I. I may be wrong. Anita doesn't seem to wear in a corset issue. Would have won a corset. It would have. Should have had the same shape of got mix. I just wish Anita had more of a waist.

[B]

Yeah, that's it. That and then, like, maybe repositioning of the boobs.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But overall, it's really good.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Ani. I mean, I think Nina looks really good. And you know what? I love these dresses. Yeah.

[B]

I do like it. I do like it.

[A]

I like it a lot.

[B]

And their verse is call me Quasimodo because I'm gonna ring that bell now down 911 douse that flame, baby show me how boy, you say your pussy will get ready for the real thing Fire burning hot, baby climb that ladder Save me sliding down that pole Point that hose and get me wet now go on touch the flame feel the heat make me say I like this

[A]

Yeah, I like it. I think it was good, too.

[B]

I really, really like the Quasimodo.

[A]

That was a. That was a very big swing at the top of the verse, and I thought it was good, too. Yeah, I thought it was cute. Yeah. So I think that my favorite performance. I think it was got mix group. Got me Kanina's group. But I think my favorite makeover was

[B]

plastics and plastic and them. Absolutely.

[A]

But then favor.

[B]

I don't know. I feel like this is the first challenge that there could be a. An argument for each group.

[A]

Yeah. I really.

[B]

Maybe not so much Chanel's.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But. But the. The other three, it literally could have went to.

[A]

Yeah. Because I love how macho Anita was like.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, she was literally posing, showing biceps. Like, I love how butch that was. And it didn't take away from the illusion from me. It actually sold this whole fantasy more for me. And I just love the look of plastiques in them group. This was so cute.

[B]

Fierce and rocks.

[A]

But the rocks in them too.

[B]

And then they look. They probably look the best. The most cohesive overall. Yeah, they do look the most like a girl group.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But. Yes, really good. But. Yeah, she's just not pretty.

[A]

This is not a pretty no value valentine.

[B]

Turn off the spotlight maybe. Okay. Season one filter again. Where.

[A]

So the winners of this challenge are Roxy and Vanjie.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Which is crazy because they just got two stars. So now immediately. Now they are up there with Gottmik. They have the most stars.

[B]

Me, I would hate to be given a star. Really, I would. I would. Because, girl, I want to earn it. And if it, like, I. If I don't earn it, it, like, because you know how the fans are, they're going to look at you like, oh, girl, you were given that star. You didn't earn it. So I would not want to be them.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, girl, because in the challenge with Shan, I both got three stars, but they were like, they didn't deserve that. You know, Monet, you only deserve one of those. So I. Girl, I get it. They are ridiculous.

[B]

Girl. Crazy.

[A]

Y' all don't make the rules. You're watching the show. You're watching me on tv, Sally.

[B]

Yeah. And you know what? And. But you won those. Like, that was. You weren't given extra stars. You won those rightfully.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The other people were given stars. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But it's. It's all good shady drama, too. It's like, it really plays into strategy. Who else, you know, do you want to give something to that they're gonna immediately be bolstered up.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so you have to be careful who it is that you give those. Those two. I probably would have given the extra star to Chanel because she's probably the least threat.

[A]

You think we make up. She's a good makeover makeup artist.

[B]

Yeah, Yeah, I think she's good. I do think Chanel is a great drag queen. I don't think she's just in a. This is a good group, and. And each of them have, like, really good set skills. So when you're. Well, I think I feel like Chanel's well rounded. She's just not the best at anything. So somebody that is the best at one thing is going to outshine her in each. Yeah, each thing. Yeah.

[A]

So Vanjie and Roxy do the lip sync, which is the Janet Jackson song Fear 3. So good, girl.

[B]

It was fierce.

[A]

I always forget how much of a. How great of a performer Vanjie is.

[B]

Huh.

[A]

Like, that's. I feel like that's one place of Vanjie really shines to. Like, I've told Evangel Work the world. I've gone to see her. Like, Vanjie's a very captivating performer on the stage.

[B]

See, I. This is. This is something that is taken me. Even though this. I've done it three times. I've got. If I ever get on the show again, I'm never doing a comedy style lip sync unless that's what it calls for.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because I am a good performer in my own element. But I always feel like that's what Rue wants. She wants you to be camp with it. And so it always throws me off to do that. But if you look at my. My best lip sync that I ever did was the Britney Spears one against Charlie Hyde. Yeah. And I did. It wasn't comedy at all. And that's my style performance. So I, I just need to revert back to that. This was a fierce, like, serious lip sync.

[A]

It was great. Her and Roxy both have great girl.

[B]

And Roxy with that fabric cape, girl.

[A]

So I love a fabric. I love a monochromatic, like, in, like a, Like a zebra or a cheetah, whatever. And then busting out the. I love that look.

[B]

And it's a climax of the, the last boom of the song. She, like, poofed it back, and you could see the lights through it was like. Okay.

[A]

It was so good. I think this double win is very, well, very warranted. Good. Yeah, it looks. It looks really good.

[B]

It wasn't rigged for one.

[A]

And then they get to snip someone together and they.

[B]

This is. Okay, this is a good. This is production, productioning, which is fierce.

[A]

I agree.

[B]

Girl. This is where you're gonna get the drama. Because not only is one person responsible. No two people are responsible. So two people hate you. Okay? Two people want you to go home. Okay, People. Two people want you to fail. They don't want you to win. You do not get to pass go. You do not get to collect $200. Okay? Two people.

[A]

Yeah. And then we see they. They choose to sniff Angeria. And immediately. I know she was joking the first time. I know. And she does a confessional. She's pissed off.

[B]

For real pissed.

[A]

I, I. If I was her, I would be upset, too. Yeah, I'll be very.

[B]

But I mean, girl, you are a front runner. What are you. What are you expecting?

[A]

But I also am a front runner with one star.

[B]

And to be fair, you did it to Rocky and an eye for an eye. Girl. What do you. What do you mean? What do you mean, baby? What do you mean? What do you mean?

[A]

I do get the payback of it all, but I would be like, oh, so that's the game we're playing. Okay.

[B]

I mean, I didn't do that with. With Shay. I could have, but I did.

[A]

If you would have done this, Jay, Shay would have. I think she would have been mad for real.

[B]

The reason why I didn't is because the next episode, somebody Blocked. I don't remember who blocked Shay, but somebody blocked Shay right after me. And I was like, girl, that was. That was the karma. I. I don't need to. I don't need to pay her back because that was the karma. She got hers. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because I think had I went after Shea, it would have changed the dynamic of how we.

[A]

Oh, for sure.

[B]

I think for All Stars 7, we were all very diplomatic.

[A]

You were very diplomatic. If you. You blocking Shade would have changed the paradigm.

[B]

Oh, would have been just shady.

[A]

Which people would have started playing the game that we wanted to play.

[B]

Well, I should have. Damned. Gosh, why do I have to be fair.

[A]

Yeah, that would have changed things for sure. Yeah. So. Yeah, so that's this episode. We're going to hop on over to Patreon for. We're not going to talk about the fucking thing, girl. I'm sorry it's boring Boots, but we are going to have a little Kiki. If y' all have been watching up at the Untucks, we Trinity, we've been talking about Old Untucked from her season, my season. We've been getting into it. So we'll see y' all at the Patreon for a little exclusive.
