• Luxx’s Verse: Sings and raps, showing versatility but with lyrics that don’t leave a lasting impression.
• Sasha’s Verse: Punchy, tight rhythm; star-maker, bank-breaker, showcasing her character but not especially innovative lyrics.
• Mistress’ Verse: Both agree Mistress Isabelle Brooks has the cleverest, most memorable verse (wordplay: “I don’t give a tuck / mad like I’m from West Bumblefuck”).

Quote:

• “Mistress had my favorite verse. I really liked it.” — Bob (42:44)

Timestamps: 43:01–47:56

• Luxx: Gorgeous wedding-couture finish, distraction over visible lace, but Monét loves the overall face and energy.
• Sasha: The crowd favorite—dreamy, ethereal, strategically stoned, exquisite flowers in hair, although Monét nitpicks the random bangles.
• Mistress: Signature Houston pageant glamour in beaded cheetah pattern; Monét marvels at its technical difficulty, but both admit it's not their favorite Mistress look.

Debate:

• Monét’s faves: Sasha (hair “sends me over the edge”), close call with Mistress.
• Bob’s: Wants to “look at Luxx more than the others,” with Anetra a close second.

---

13. Results, Lip Sync, and Four-Person Finale

Timestamps: 48:32–55:43

• Analysis: Not the easiest song for either to slay given their looks; Mistress restrained by her heavy beaded gown.

[Monet X Change]

Well, go clarify. He didn't buy his mom a bouquet of flowers. You bought like pots? Like pots.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Potted plants, not a bouquet of flowers. Does it look like I'm in the dark? Does it look like I'm in the dark?

[Monet X Change]

I mean the background looks a little dark. It's fine. I mean, I'm not an editor, so I don't know if that's bad or good. I don't know. It looks very nice.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is that better? Oh, wow.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, but you are yellow though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you know, there's nothing wrong with a hint of jaundice. I got home and upon.

[Monet X Change]

You look so fabulous.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Thank you.

[Monet X Change]

Do you have a picture of me on the mantel or there is no

[Bob the Drag Queen]

picture of you on the mantle? No, but if you give us one, we'll put it up there right now it's a picture of. It is me and my nephew and my brother and my cousins and my niece, my uncle, my mother, and my aunt. That's all the people on the mantel. And it's not a mantle, it's a bookshelf.

[Monet X Change]

Also, imagine putting a picture of me, your Aunt Hazelna, walking up like, who the hell is this nigga?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She knows who you are.

[Monet X Change]

Whose kid is this?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Everyone in my family knows who you are.

[Monet X Change]

But out of drag, though, like, I

[Bob the Drag Queen]

would be like, could they watch the podcast? They don't know you.

[Monet X Change]

Like my high school picture. I'm holding that little thing. I'm like, does your family not know who I am? Yes, they know who you are.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, out of drag.

[Monet X Change]

They know who you are out of drag.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do they know how you treat them?

[Monet X Change]

My aunt asks me about you all the time, actually. She's like, how's Bob? I'm like, bob is fine. He's doing well. He's doing the Madonna tour. Your aunt who lives in New York, she's like, mahu. I'm like, madonna ma who?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And your family came to the sibling rivalry show in New York. Oh, I was like, what?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, and Cimravi. That was my. Who came to that. That was my aunt and some family friends in. They were the rest of, like, my family that lives in the DMV area. Delaware. They were gonna come to the DMV show, but something happened that they couldn't come, but they came to work the world. You got dmv? Yeah, I do. In Delaware, in Maryland.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That scammer.

[Monet X Change]

What the fuck does that mean, you fucking dusty bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Doesn't mean anything.

[Monet X Change]

You literally said it and said. Or laugh, and that's what making. That means.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nothing. I'm just kidding. It doesn't work. I have DMV family, too.

[Monet X Change]

I didn't know you had a family above the Mason Dixon girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I have family in Ohio. Oh, my God. There's like, a spider web on this plant.

[Monet X Change]

If y' all don't know. Bob is very. Bob is, like, deathly afraid of bugs. When Bob sees a bug girl, Bob acting like that thing is about to fucking. It's like Attack of the Arachnophobia. Oh, my God. It's a tiny spider on a little plant.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't know how small that spider is. You have no clue. You don't know what lurks beneath. Let's get. This is not Silverwing rivalry. This is silver watchery. Hello, everyone. We are reviewing the. The penultimate.

[Monet X Change]

I'll start. You always starting. Y' all this is the penultimate episode of rufo. Actually, not a penultimate episode. This is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We have to.

[Monet X Change]

I think it is the penultimate.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, there's two more.

[Monet X Change]

No, because they had the reunion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But does the reunion count? No, it counts.

[Monet X Change]

It does. And they filmed it. And I heard the reunion was spicy, girl. Oh, really? I heard it was spicy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So this is the Pinpin ultimate of season 15 of a rube Paul's Drag Race. And during the. Lux says, if you play a dirty game, you get dirty results. And I. So, by the way, I do want to give you all a forewarning. I don't want to trigger anyone, but I didn't watch Untucked today either.

[Monet X Change]

And I will have an editor's note.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I will have an editor's note. No one getting wild. I didn't watch Untucked, but that being said, after watching Untucked from last week, I found out that Luxury Lucy did indeed. Monet thinks weaponized is too strong of a term, but I think if you use someone's skin color against them in a competition, that is. That's problematic. You don't think that's problematic?

[Monet X Change]

I don't. In the parameters of this game. Like, in another situation. Yes. In this game, you're trying to. There have been people. Girls have done it before, and I don't see it as. I don't think it's problematic. I think the infrastructure is a game you signing up to. And I think that because what makes this. What makes the makeover episode feel a little more sensitive is because you can potentially change these people's lives. And Rurupaul always bills the episode as, this is gonna show you who you are underneath your thing. And this one was especially sensitive. Cause they're teachers, and a lot of teachers have to work so hard. And we all recognize that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But, like, when it was dragged, the veterans. Wow.

[Monet X Change]

And the veterans. But when we did the episode when it was season 10, the influencers, it felt more like game on. When Aquaria was given Kingsley because he. Because Aquaria's doing really well. Aquaria was clearly the front runner, so giving her Kingsley was kind of like, put her at a little bit of a disadvantage. Because he's black.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just. I don't know. I mean, I'm not gonna harp on it, but I do think that using someone's skin coming against them in a competition is. I just. Let me just say I wouldn't do it, but she did play a dirty game, and she did indeed get dirty results. And she got sent to the house. Honey yeah.

[Monet X Change]

And Lux. I mean, Luxx is living for the karma that Lucy, like, Lux is like. Lux is, like, reveling. She is really. She is so happy that Lucy played a dirty game and it fucked with her and it sent her home.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, it's so weird because she was like, well, your plan didn't work, but actually it did work because you're in the bottom, so it kind of worked. I mean, it didn't send you home, but if the plan was to throw you off your game and put you in the bottom, it kind of gave.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And Anishra talks about the fact that she won. She won back to back challenges. Now, I know, like, winning back to back, we don't see that it happens once in a blue moon on drag race, but winning back to back, yeah, it does happen. Did you won back to back?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

What? Did you win back to back?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I didn't win back to back, but I did win all three of my challenges before any other girls won two challenges.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, that's not back to back. That's not the one we were talking about.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, can I have my accolades? Can I just have my accolades? You don't mind, do you? You don't agree with me.

[Monet X Change]

I got my all the time. But winning back to back is a rare. Is no small feat. And congratulations to Nisha Monet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No small feat.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like those shoe Monet. Look at that shoe rack. No small feet.

[Monet X Change]

Honey, first of all, those are all these. I have a size. We wear the same shoe size.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's categorically false. That is not true. No, y'.

[Monet X Change]

All. Okay, so when I give you shoes, have they fit you or not?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You only give me shoes that are too small for you, and you know

[Monet X Change]

that that's not true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's not true.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, it's not true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nate. You always give me shoes that are too small for you. You'd be like, ooh, girl, this is true the way she said it. Y' all know it's true.

[Monet X Change]

By the way she said, is not true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Look at the way she say, that's not true. That's not true. That's not. You know how Joan Crocker said that's not true?

[Monet X Change]

Okay, is there a food that you eat that people make fun of you for? So I don't know if you know about. Like, when I eat, when I make my cereal, I put my cereal in the bowl, I put the almond milk, and then I put it in the microwave for a minute and 30 seconds. Everyone is like, you heat up your Cereal. I'm like, yes. I like, like, warm cereal. I like, like warm cereal. I want it to feel like porridge, so. And I like it to get, like, chunky and, like, thick like this. Like, almost like porridge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It. It sounds like you like oatmeal.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, it's like oatmeal porridge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I. I mean, I. I drink room temperature sodas, which you know about.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yes. Weirdo.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Which I've had a few here since I've been home. I've had quite a few room temperature sodas, actually. They're all right over there in the cabinet. They're not in the fridge. They are in the cabinet.

[Monet X Change]

Is this the top four you thought would be Bob? I think this is pretty close to what I thought. I definitely thought Sasha. I can't remember, except for Mishra.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can't remember the exact top four that I said, but this feels absolutely correct. I don't remember who I said top four would be, but this feels really correct to me is the short answer to that question, because I realized that Miv says this is the top four that she imagined. And then RuPaul comes in and tells them they're gonna be doing versus to blame it on the edit. How do you feel about this song,

[Monet X Change]

which we know I love blame it on the edit, bitch. When RuPaul put this song out, it was a lot of controversy on Twitter and on Reddit. People were like, I can't believe RuPaul has the nerve to put this out. He's making fun of the girls. Blah, blah, blah. He's not making fun of the girls. Every season. Maybe not every season, somebody like, well, actually on season. But get that oftentimes than not, girls go on. Especially this season,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

ironically. These girls want to be on the edit, honey.

[Monet X Change]

Like every episode, these girls are, like, letting the editors and the producers have it on Twitter. So I think this song is very fitting. And I like this song. I like this song. And bring back my girls. The first two lines. She going back to the workroom, rethink her life. I love it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I wish that they would have done. I like. What's the one I like where she goes looking for the bitch who wants to walk. Looking for the bitch with the pussy that wants the possession when the pops severe. What is that one? They want to see you let her. They want to see you go off, you know, and then business come. Let's give them just what they want. Just.

[Monet X Change]

They want.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They want to see you work. I would have loved to have seen

[Monet X Change]

it first RuPaul's good bitch tracks. RuPaul has some good bitch tracks.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm looking for the bitch who wants to walk Looking for the bitch that wants the pop. Especially when the pops are via. I said, Ooh. RuPaul said, Be the popup.

[Monet X Change]

I want to see RuPaul in the studio. I want to see RuPaul in the studio getting his life to be sure. I want to see RuPaul. You know, she'd be like, uh huh, uh huh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, I'm looking for the bitch who wants to watch that thing be going. Looking for the bitch that wants to pop. So it's kind of also just so you guys know by now, I have already released. Me and Ocean Kelly did our verses to our favorite, like, you know, top four challenge song. We did verses to read you'd Wrote youe. So you can go over to my YouTube page and check out read you'd Wrote youe and see me and Ocean Kelly's verses to read you wrote you if you wanna go see.

[Monet X Change]

Well, so after they found out I have this challenge, RuPaul12 and this final episode is pretty formulaic. It's the fourth thing, and we know there's gonna be a final either podcast. It was tic tacs, then it was podcasts, now it's back to tic tacs again. And I just wanna say I miss the old tic Tac ones, like early, like season two, three, four, where you actually sit down with Ru and he like takes the little tweezers and he gives you a tic Tac at a time. I, I, I want it, I want a little more intimate, intimate tic tac lunch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think they probably stopped doing the joke about the tic Tac because it probably might be problematic. So now they just have a bunch of Tic Tacs, as opposed to putting one Tic Tac on a plate. The joke is that you're a model, so you only eat one Tic Tac. That's the joke. That's the bit, Right? So now they have a bowl of Tic Tacs.

[Monet X Change]

But then, and then you, and then you say, and RuPaul, like, how many do you want? And he'll give them, like, however many you said.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, but I'm saying I think that's probably why they stopped putting the Tic Tac on the plate. But yeah, they did it on seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.

[Monet X Change]

No, they did not do it on 10.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They either did a Tic Tac Or a podcast.

[Monet X Change]

And eight didn't get anything.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no. That is so shady. We never got to sit down. We never got to sit down and talk through. And I blame Kim. I think it's because RuPaul hates Kim.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And Ru has promised us that one girl will be going home. The lie detector determined that was a lie.

[Monet X Change]

A lie. RuPaul. RuPaul. You were a fucking liar. RuPaul. Andre Charles. Damn.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, it's. Whatever. It's just not. It's just, in my opinion, it's not as good tv. But maybe it's cause I like my TV a little bit more dramatic, you know what I mean? And I didn't realize that.

[Monet X Change]

Did you watch Scandal when it was out?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I watched the first season or two, but I didn't finish it.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, I can only really watch like a full series once the whole thing has ended, and I can just watch it all in order. But I have a hard time coming back. Like, there's a show that I really want to watch right now.

[Sponsor/Host]

I.

Not the Departed. What's it called, Jacob?

[Monet X Change]

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yellow jacket?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think so. Secession is white people business. Wall Street. Is it secession? Is it the child? No, no, it's the one where you.

[Monet X Change]

It's fall.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, it's the one where you separate. Let me give you guys what it's about and then you can tell me. Oh, Severance. It's the one where you separate your personality into a work personality. And.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, Severance.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Severance.

[Monet X Change]

That's about white people, too. In the office building.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're not all white. Well, everyone in the office building isn't white. There aren't.

[Monet X Change]

Sure they were in.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

In, In. In Severance.

[Monet X Change]

I'm pretty sure I watched the first episode with. With Andy, and I didn't finish it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You didn't finish it?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, it looks very good. I think that, you know, definitely people

[Bob the Drag Queen]

of color working on Severance. But anyway, that's not the point of the conversation.

[Monet X Change]

You know when you're watching something and then you're tired and I fell asleep three quarters of the way through and I just like, you know, I can't go back.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I understand that. But it is a good show and I can't wait for season two. But I feel like it will now have been so long since season one that I'm gonna forget stuff and the recap's gonna be recapping the way I wanna actually watch a full show. But that's not the Point. I don't know how we get here.

[Monet X Change]

So the girls, we were talking about the Tic Tac, and then Sasha goes up first, and. And Sasha, before we get to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Before we get to the Tic Tac, I want to talk about how. First of all, I didn't realize there hasn't been a top three since. No, Ellen, that's not the truth. Season eight, which is kind of wild. Season 12.

[Monet X Change]

I know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, that's what they aired on TV. 12. Who won 12? Who won 12?

[Monet X Change]

It was Jada, Kristal, Method, and Gigi.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, they aired it on. They aired it on RuPaul's Drag Race. So I guess their fact checkers aren't fact checking.

[Monet X Change]

They need to submit that shit to Politico to get them together.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know,

[Monet X Change]

and it thinks about the customer more than anything.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it

[Monet X Change]

to me because it's so easy to use.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's like, I can't stop. I'm addicted. Start your free [e-mail]. but when they were writing their songs, Lux was like, I'm just gonna go lay down. Like, I'm good. Like, my verse is written. It is solid. It is brilliant, and I'm just gonna go lay my ass down on the couch.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know, when, you know, you know, right? I mean, Jinx. Jinx did that several times in season five, and she ended up winning. So Lux. I think Lux strikes me as someone. She was like, I very proud of what I did. I feel really confident, really strong. Like, what more can I do? My outfit is done, my hair is done. Like, what more is there to do? I. I am not a believer that you should work when there's no work to be done. Like, just to be clear, I think

[Bob the Drag Queen]

that Jinx was falling asleep because she has narcolepsy. I don't think Jinx was just lying on the couch and. And going to sleep for the lie

[Monet X Change]

Detective test determined that that was a lie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You think Jinx is lying about her narcolepsy?

[Monet X Change]

No, I'm kidding.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, exactly. Back off. No, I'm kidding. So Sasha Velour is the first one, and she talks about her.

[Monet X Change]

Sasha Colby.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sasha.

[Monet X Change]

Colby.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sorry. Sasha Colby is the first one to go for the Tic Tac podcast. I guess it's like a hybrid of the two. And she revealed that her father unalived himself at 80. 80.

[Monet X Change]

80. That is so late in life. That just goes to show you, like, you never know what somebody's going through that seems like you're well in your life. You would assume that maybe someone was well adjusted by that point. And that is tough. That is fucking tough to know that one of your parents unalived themselves so late in life. But he did take care of her. He left her everything, which is gagging.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know how many siblings she has, but it is really fierce that the Mahu representative of the one who got everything. And it's a little bit gaggy.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If your family left you, I believe they own, what, a quarter of the island of St. Lucia? If they left you that quarter of the entire island, would you move back? Is it. Oh, it's not a quarter. Sorry. Half the island. I didn't want to.

[Monet X Change]

Sorry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't want to upset you. Half the island of St. Lucia. Would you. Oh, it's more than half. Okay. Jesus Christ. Three quarters. Monet. How much is it? Is it the whole island? This is.

[Monet X Change]

If I was to. As the. You mean Tobago?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Well, you know.

[Monet X Change]

You know, I would not want to go back and live in St. Lucia. I would like going into vacation. I don't think I could live in St. Lucia.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are houses expensive in St. Lucia?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, they are.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How many do your family own?

[Monet X Change]

4.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think you're joking. Like, I actually think you're being honest.

[Monet X Change]

I am joking.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well. Cause your mom and dad each owned a house, right? That's true.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. They each have their own house. That's it. They're also divorced. They don't live together.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, wow. Rub it in.

[Monet X Change]

Rub it in. Yeah, yeah. No, you, you, you, Sasha, Colby, also talking about. About wanting to dim her light because she wants to be liked by the other girls. And she talks about, like, when she, like, was winning a lot of challenges, she, like, kind of did not want to win so that other girls would like her. And, like, honestly, I kind of. I kind of. Not necessarily in this context and the priorities of Drag Race, I never felt bad about winning, but I do identify as someone who would sometimes maybe not want a good thing to happen to me so that other people will still feel, like, represented and, like, they enjoy me being around. I feel that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cannot relate. Cannot relate. Get your own good things. Get your own good things. You don't need my good things. Go have your own good things. Mary couldn't be me. Could not be me. Never has been, ever will be. So, okay, we found out that Anetra grew up Mormon.

[Monet X Change]

I know. Anetra has lived so many lives.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No shade to Mormons. But, like, shade to Mormons. Like, that is a weird.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, here's my thing, though. All of them are weird. Like, Andy and I had this discussion a lot. He's like, well, Christianity. Like, yeah, but like Scientology. I'm like, but it's really not. Yes, they believe in whatever to get. Whatever to get to. L. Ron Hubbard, the spaceship in the sky. But how is that crazier or weirder than some dude literally doing some fucking necromancy walking on water or making or feeding 5,000 people with two fish and five loaves of bread? How is that crazier?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, to be fair, my fans eat, and I don't even have any loaves of bread or water. I feed the children all the time. No kidding.

[Monet X Change]

I think that that was good. That was good. That was good. That was good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What makes Mormonism so odd is that the things they're claiming happened happened so recently that we can. They're claiming it happened so recently. We can be like, I'm telling you. I'm telling you, that didn't happen. Like, there are people who are alive when People who were alive around that time. Like, it wasn't that long ago. So, like. But maybe you're right. It is all. I mean, I've talked about religion here a lot. I've talked about how it's all kind of wacky, but, like, it just that the thing they're saying didn't happen that long ago. When you say Jesus Christ was in. Was in America, in, like, Pennsylvania. Come on. That's. Come on in Pennsylvania. Come on now. But I was like, not Elder Anitra coming to your door to save your soul.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, can you imagine, Like, I honestly would. Good for her that she got saved from that? Like, not having to be in some white shirt and some black pants walking through. Because they used to come to my door in Brooklyn. The Mormons would be in my neighborhood with their little white shirts and black ties and black pants and the little name tags, talking about knocking on the doors and shit. They used to come all the time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My name is Elder Burton.

[Monet X Change]

I've never seen Book of Mormon, even

[Bob the Drag Queen]

when Keesha Carr was in it, you know, it's fine. I remember seeing it being like, it's a good show. I don't remember being like. Cause everyone was acting like it was

[Monet X Change]

like, yeah, people said like, it, like, went off.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was, it was, it was very, very popular. It was. It was the Hamilton before. Hamilton was Hamilton. Yeah, I thought it was fine. I did think that Hamilton was the best show I've ever seen in my life, though. And Michelle Visage says that Anitra vs. Marcia. Marcia. Marcia is her favorite lip sync of all time. I mean, it was drag me and Derek. Drag me and Derek.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, it was a very good lip sync. And I, Yeah, I go off. I mean, good for her. And Michelle has seen a lot of lip syncs between. Michelle does all the seasons, Ru. Does she? Plus yeah. No, Queen of the Universe is not lip syncing, but. Well, from what I heard. I'm just kidding.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're kidding. That is a bit. We don't. That is a bit. We don't know anything. That is a bit. That is a bit. That is a bit.

[Monet X Change]

And if you do the multi. I can't do the math. Someone really smart just can probably do it. Michelle has seen over probably 200, 500 lip syncs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, because America's over 500. No, America's got a little over 200 episodes. And I would say there's probably a few episodes with multiple lip syncs, which would probably put it up to near maybe 250just from America. And then three seasons of UK would put it around four seasons of UK. Oh, my God. We always forget Danny. Beer season would put it around two run under 300. And then I think she's. I think it's around 325. I might. I would venture to say 325 is the number.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Bob, can you just turn your camera off? Actually just turn it off.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can leave.

[Monet X Change]

Please.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You can do this by yourself, honey. I'm actually very sleepy. Please, you can do this whole. You can have this whole episode to you. I am exhausted. I have a flight at 6 in the morning, so don't tip.

[Monet X Change]

That's what a good time, honey.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, Anitra says that winning drag race would mean that the trills, tri. The. The tribulations and the trials would have been worth it. And I was like, that's a lot. I mean, but also, can't you feel the same way without winning drag race? Like, why Gotta be all that?

[Monet X Change]

I think it's a validation of, like, because she is someone who. We've found out that she discovered drag very young and she discovered drag at a time when she really needed it, when she was kicked out of her home with her family and she had nowhere to go. So I Think I. I'm trying to think if I was. When I was going to college at 18, if I was kicked out at home just for being gay and I found drag and drag as my thing, like that is like a life saving thing. And I think that it. She has a lot of pride in her drag and probably gives a lot of validation. So to have a validation from the world and RuPaul that you are a fucking fierce drag queen probably is very rewarding to her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I agree, but doesn't it. But I feel like, wouldn't it be like the trial being on, being here, being a successful drag queen, being a full time performer? Is it. Doesn't that already make. Doesn't it already say it's been worth it? You know what I mean? And I think that winning Drag Race is just a nice little bonus.

[Monet X Change]

Well, yeah, but yeah, having RuPaul say. And then when a RuPaul dragger season 15 is Anetra, that is going to be the thing that's going to be like, so what she does. RuPaul is the reason why Anetra does not feel good about herself.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And he should know that the trials and tribulations weren't worth it. Um, it might be min. Go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

No, no, no. I want to go back. Anetra, she talks about how she found ballroom. I think this is such an interesting little tidbit. She drops because there's been a lot of discourse between ballroom people and Drag Race this season and like, Aja kind of coming for Anetra and some other people in ballroom team coming for Anetra. And I think Anetra speaks to, I think a lot of kids out here who may not know how to find ballroom in their cities. And she's like, look, I fell in love with ballroom online. Me and the girls at shows, we would, we would play around and do stuff in our dressing rooms. And yes, maybe she's not part, like, she's not officially part of a house or she didn't go to kiki functions and balls, but I think that that's how a lot of people in their cities who may not have access to ballroom find ballroom. And I think that we should open up a dialogue. And it's not for me because I'm not, you know, a part of ballroom community, but I think there should be a little more grace with people falling in love with the art from a ballroom and not calling them culture vultures because they're not doing it in the way that others find balls.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Just say it in your accent. Called Chavo Cha. Now, Monet, after you done say this, our comments are lit up now, girl. Our comments are lit up, girl. Honey, listen, that was. Monet said that. Monet said that. That was all Monet.

[Monet X Change]

I have a lot of friends in ballroom. Listen. I am a Kiki function girl, Escalator girl. I get it. Not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monet just said, I have black friends.

[Monet X Change]

I got more black friends than you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I have friends in ballroom. I have black friends.

[Monet X Change]

So, yeah, I like that she said this on tv. And, you know, I don't know where the conversation stands. I don't know where we kind of left off with this. Last I saw, Aja was, like, digging in Anetra's ass, and Anetra didn't follow her or didn't respond to messages. I don't know where the conversation is at, but hopefully everyone is copacetic right now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are you counting your black friends?

[Monet X Change]

What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are you counting your black friends?

[Monet X Change]

What do you mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, you said I got more black friends than you. I was like, are you counting your black friends?

[Monet X Change]

No, but I know I have more than you, though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bitch. You sound like one of those problematic white people.

[Monet X Change]

I am, bitch. I am. I am your only black friend, so I know I got more than you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, yeah, sure, Mona. You're my only black friend. So mib says that she spends her tic tac dinner saying that Lucy Leduca is a different person off camera. I don't know why she talks about Loosey and her thing.

[Monet X Change]

She doesn't spend her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She spends a piece of her interview talking about Loosey Laduca, which is categorically

[Monet X Change]

true, because Ru asked her. I forgot what question Ru asked, but the question that Ru asked kind of brought her into that. It was like he asked, like, why do you feel the need to something, like, be so. So whatever with your personality? She's like, well, because I've seen girls in this competition like Lucy, you know,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think that she's the only one. I think she's the only person who actually spent any of her tic tac dinners talking about anyone who wasn't herself, like, in the competition. Other people talk about, like, their, you know, their inspirations, their family, but I think she's the. Well, at least it aired. She's the only one who spent any of her time in her conversation, in her interview, talking about other competitors, especially ones who aren't there, which I think is interesting.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, I don't know if Ty would've spent my time, but, you know, me and me and me. And mib are completely different people.

[Monet X Change]

I also love that during her, which I love that Drag Race is making a point to do this a lot. Like, they talk about people like Mimi Marks and, like, Chevelle Brooks. There's a lot of kids probably don't know who these people are. And, like, putting, like, faces to the names that Sasha has been talking about during the season. And also mistresses of Bob Rooks. I love that we're, like, showing these divas, you know, for who they are and putting so we can, like, match their talent to their faces.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's fierce. Lux talks about how she planned all of her workroom looks.

[Monet X Change]

I can't relate. Season 10 honor seasons I brought season 10, I definitely bitch for season 10. The first time you go to Drag Race, they tell you, five suitcases, 50 pounds, anything over, you will not be able to use it. You will send it back home. So I was so strict with the guidelines. Like, I made sure all of it. So I. So my drag. My suitcases were filled with drag. I didn't really have space for other stuff, so I just bought what I could fit. And then also when I came to All Stars 4, I was like, well, they lying with that. Like, there's a little wiggle room. And then All Stars 7, I just, like, I just. I just brought clothes where I wasn't like, thinking, like, I need to turn a look. But RuPaul really respects that from. From Lux. He's like, that's right. Uh huh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is a bit of a suit.

[Monet X Change]

And RuPaul was probably looking at me in the workroom like, ooh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is a bit of a suitcase sacrifice that I would not personally make, but if it's important to you, then, I mean, pop off, you know?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Luxx also talks about how she comes from a supportive family. And I fucking love this. I love that. You know, I want to normalize. Like, Yes, I know a lot of us have dejected situations where, you know, it was really tough for us. Our families excommunicated us. We don't have any connection with them. But there are people like Luxx who come from some families who love and support them and tell them that they're everything and embrace their queerness wholeheartedly. And I love that we're talking about that experience too. That's very lovely.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So we go on to the choreography and we realize that. Okay, so first of all, my first thought was, why are they learning choreography in full drag? That was my first thought. Like, I kept being like, why are they learning choreography in Full drag. And we found out later it's because they are going directly into the video. Like, literally without warning, they're gonna be filming the video right then and there, which is gay.

[Monet X Change]

Well, listen, I love dragging so long. If they teach me to choreo in full drag, and on set for the video, I'll be like, oh, I'm gonna do. We're doing it, like, right after this. Like, Drag Race would never make you learn choreo in full drag for no reason. Like, to me, the time I saw them learning it for the first time in drag, I was like, oh, this is, like, a little challenge. And a challenge. You're gonna have to do it immediately afterwards, which sucks. I would hate that. I would hate that. I need time for it to, like, settle.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not great. And then Mistress is saying that her costume is what's restricting her from dancing. And Sasha is not buying this excuse at all.

[Monet X Change]

You know, I mean, she's probably trying to buy herself a little time because, like, she's. She don't believe she's struggling with it either. No, she's struggling with the choreo a little bit, and she is, like, thinking in her head, like, fuck, how am I gonna do this? Like, I can't. And this is not the first time. Every time Mistress has to learn choreo, she struggled a little bit with it. So, you know, learning choreo is not her strongest talent, and it's something that she's good at, so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I believe her, though. I mean, I do. Well, she's clearly struggling, but there is a thing where you put on an outfit for the first time, you try to move, and you realize that your arms can't go any higher than this, and you're like, crap. Like, I can't raise my arms in this costume. That is so annoying.

[Monet X Change]

But later on, she just bitch. Her hands. But her hands were overextended. She was fucking hugging herself by the end of it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Was it all that? I mean, I don't remember. I just remember that she was like, I. I this. But, you know, I've had one where I'm like, man, my outfit is. Maybe she also. There's a chance that she may have done some damage to it. And she was like, you know, fuck it, I want to win this challenge. Which I was actually shocked that they gave a win, because they don't always give a win on this episode, but sometimes they do. There's. There really isn't a. There's a precedent for both. There's no standard. There's a precedent for both where someone will win this challenge. Someone will not win this challenge. Someone will just go home. But anyway,

[Monet X Change]

They all. Their looks were all really hot. They all looked really great in their looks. Sasha looked so fucking hot. I knew the reference immediately. She was Pam Anderson in Barb Wire. I remember that movie used to come on USA Network. I used to watch it. And Sasha looks hot. Luxx's lips and that purple. Ooh, she looked great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think what I'm most shocked by is the fact that while Anetra and Luxx are dancing, mib isn't over on the side trying to make sure she knows the choreography. Cause she is clearly behind. And I'd be over there, like, trying to, like, mirror the moods or something.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she should have. I mean, I think if I. If memory serves, incorrect. Like, when you're doing these challenges, like, they have you sit in the queen's gallery and, like, you. They want you on camera watching the other girls perform. So maybe they didn't let them do it, but I would have still been in my seat, like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, also, Anetra and Mistress both did a bad job on their first take, but. But did a better job on the second take, though.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I'm also wondering, did they do a great job on their second takes or was it edited to do a good job? Can they blame that on the edit? Will they blame the edit for making them look. No one ever blames the edit for making them look good. No one ever does that. Cause it does. There's times, you know, there's been times where they cut stuff out of the episode, and you were like, well, the production saved you, honey.

[Monet X Change]

They saved you, not me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I wasn't there when you were doing Drag Race. Cause we were on different seasons. But there are times when on my season where I saw people say things and production saved them from themselves. You never see that on your season.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, for sure. Production does help you out both ways. I mean, they help you out, and they can shade you for sure.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So as they're doing their makeup, they realize that Lux is at the. At the gate. Gate. Lux is in the center of all the gates. Which is wild to me. I didn't realize it until they pointed it out.

[Monet X Change]

Well. Cause I think we see that Lux is. She's a say. Her and Mistress were the say, like, you mean it girls. I think I go back and think, I'm like, I wonder what the dynamic would have been had Irene stayed. Cause Irene is Mistress energy. And I'm just so Curious what that would have looked like. If Irene would have been on this whole season, maybe she would have been the gate.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Gate, maybe. Who knows? I mean, I'm very intrigued by why it was Luxx and not Mistress, though. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

So, I mean, to all the girls, there was some perception that it was like Luxx was the girl girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, Luxx kind of. Luxx kind of verified it looks like.

[Sponsor/Host]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I wasn't part of all of. I was. I was. I was part of all of them, you know?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think in terms of the video, I actually think that Mistress had the best verse, but I also can't let. I mean, let's. Let's. Let's look at the chart that the. At the. Jacob tried to type out the lyrics, but they're not online anywhere yet. So Jacob was just trying to basically do them in from mem. From memory.

[Monet X Change]

Yes. Wait, what's up? RuPaul's look okay? RuPaul looks great. This is a very. RuPaul does this hair a lot, this color and shape. Like, we've seen this look a couple times. I mean, honestly, everyone looks great. I love that Ross and Michelle are coordinating colors, red and black. Michelle better work. Michelle wearing good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, she's wearing red shoes.

[Monet X Change]

Red shoes. I. They had to plan this. Ross's top. I love this top. Rot. L. Ross looks great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think everyone looks great. I love Michelle's hair a lot, and I love that she's shiny and slick and RuPaul looks good. The judges look great.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, they really do. RuPaul has been a little whore this season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anetra brought back out her headgear style from episode one. She says, stomping on roaches and walking these ducks make my way on the Runway. Anitra about to pump. I twist, I whip, I dip hair flip slash that eye gloss, that lip. A total 10. Your girl's a hit.

[Monet X Change]

So this isn't. I think. I think Bob said already, but we are recording this. The episode literally just finished airing, and Jacob tried to transcribe as best as he could. So if you mess up a lyric or two, we think these are it, but it may be a little fucked up. I think it's good. She's calling back to her. She's referencing herself, and I think it's fine. I think it's fine. Am I like, ooh, bitch, she slayed, But I think it's fine. It's a good verse.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. It's not particularly great for Drag Race. It's fine. I think if it's like a regular song. I'd be like, I don't know. But for Drag Race, it's fine. So Lux did a little bit of singing.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go into Lux. Yeah, she's sang in rap, which I love. She's like, I can do all these things. Let me show you what I can do. She said, look, I don't like, by

[Bob the Drag Queen]

the way, before you get into it is the fact that her panties were so low in the black look, and I could see where her tights ended. That was that. That thing kind of drove me crazy a little bit.

[Monet X Change]

I wish that she was wearing a

[Bob the Drag Queen]

pair of high waisted panties.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree, I agree. I love her hair, though, with like the two braid pigtails in the front and like the long in the back. I thought she looks great. I love that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's kind of. That's a popular hairstyle in drag now, like some sort of.

[Monet X Change]

Is it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, it's like the popular hairstyle I'm seeing is like some sort of a knot at the front of your head and then the back is just straight and long. I'm seeing like a lot of that in drag.

[Monet X Change]

Luxx said, looking just like a dream. Luxx so fierce, be causing a scene when I step on the Runway, you know, all eyes on me. Ate these bitches, left no crumbs. Did it in designer pumps. So when they ask about Luxx, let them know that she's the one.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I don't love this. I mean, this is fine for Drag Race again, but I also can't really remember the melody, but I do remember liking that she was singing.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And the way that she. The way her cadence, it did rhyme at the end, but also, I can't remember how it went also,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

but I'm not crazy about these lyrics, but I do remember liking the way I do remember in the moment, liking the melody. The performance. The melody.

[Monet X Change]

Did you like her performance?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was good. It was good. Yeah, it was Good.

[Monet X Change]

Up next, Ms. Sasha Colby. I love Sasha's alien look. It has to be Diego Montoya. Or maybe it's not, but it looks really good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Was the prompt alien?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Yeah, that's what it was. That.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If the prompt was alien, I feel like Sasha. Or is the prompt intergalactic? Because if the prompt was alien, I feel like Sasha is the only one giving alien.

[Monet X Change]

It was alien or like inter. Or interstellar or something like that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, well, I'm just going to say if the. If. If the prompt they got on paper was alien, I feel like Sasha's the only one actually giving Alien. I love both her looks Bad bitch bited out I don't come to play Best believe when I step on the on the scene Shady hoes just run away Dream chaser, star maker game changer, bank breaker, crack the code Now y' all know Sasha Kobe run the show again I don't think these lyrics are particularly groundbreaking or anything. How do you feel about them?

[Monet X Change]

I like when she did the Dream chaser, starmaker Game changer, bang breaker. I do like that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I like that part. That's my favorite part, actually.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So that being said, I think that it's good. I like it also. She looks really good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree.

[Monet X Change]

It might be Mistress Isabelle Brooks. Yeah, mib, I'm the mvp it makes sense why all these girls envy me Ooh, that's good. Cause I'm gonna clock the T and I don't give a tuck Excuse me while you mad like I come from West Bumblefuck But Bumblefuck but guess what? Yes, I said it and I meant it too I'm the next in line King to Mamaroo it's possible I think it's kin right? Maybe I'm wrong and if you, and if you step out of line I' ma gather you make room Cause the big girl's coming through this was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I like everything.

[Monet X Change]

It was great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Mistress had my favorite verse. I really liked it. I loved her performance in the spaceship when they weren't dancing. Like, she did have the weakest dance performance, but she also had the best verse. And I really thought that it was just. I think there's some really clever verses in there. I like them a lot.

[Monet X Change]

Very clever. Very, very clever. Mib, I'm the mvp. It makes no sense why all these ghosts envy me that's fierce.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So let's go on to the Runway. And Anetra, I love this look.

[Monet X Change]

I think Anitra looks great. I think her hair and her hair and face are so, so, so good. She looks very beautiful. This hair is so cool. And I think she looks cool. And, yeah, I think Anitra looks great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. It drove me a little bit crazy how the dress got like. It felt like it was busy. And then right around the thigh, the upper thigh kind of started getting really plain at the bottom, which I didn't love. But overall, I like this dress a lot.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Um, Ms. Luxx. Luxx Noir London. I think this is great. I think Luxx looks beautiful. Her face looks stunning. I wish she would have darkened the lace a Little bit. Because it was. It was kind of driving me crazy how you could, like, kind of, like, see it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The lace was distracting.

[Monet X Change]

The lace was a little distracting, but I think she looks great. And a. A black mixed in white. Honestly, it just looks so. She looks gorgeous.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She looks great. That. Yeah. I love this couture show always ends with a wedding dress, and that's what she was doing with her package. So it's a wedding dress to end up her. Got it.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I really like her. Yeah. The lace was driving a little bit crazy, but also part of me is like. I mean, we're like. We're wearing. We're wearing wigs. Like, if I can see your lace, it's really not. It's really not the end of the world. So I'm really not that upset about it. I think her dress looks stunning. I love this hair. This is probably my favorite hair I've seen her in, actually. I love it. Love, love this hair. And I think the dress looks really, really nice. I think she looks beautiful.

[Monet X Change]

And I love just a big old drag queen jewelry. Earrings. I fucking love that. Let's go on to this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sometimes I don't. I think it really. But I think it really works here, though.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on to Ms. Sasha Colby. Sasha, this is beautiful. I thought this gown was fucking stunning. The hair, the hair, the hair, the hair. And her face, These lashes, that big, old exaggerated crease with the bottom lashes. Her face looks so beautiful. I just hate it. I like the rings on her arm, but I hated the other little bangles in between them. Like the ones that you just get for, like, a dollar on Santiali. Like, I feel like the ring. The big rings were enough. She didn't need those other bangles in between.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't really clock that. I think she looked really good. I agree with pretty much most of what you said. I didn't really clock the little rings, but she looks really nice. And I love these flowers in her hair.

[Monet X Change]

It makes her look so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Very ethereal. It makes it look kind of like a dream. I really love this look.

[Monet X Change]

And they were stoned, but not like stones for filth. Like, they were, like, strategically stoned, which made it look, to me more impactful. And I think Sasha looks. She looks beautiful. She looks beautiful. Tiffany, shall we go into Mistress?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. As far as Mistress, this isn't. This is not my favorite thing she's worn. Like, I don't know that I would end it. I wouldn't have ended the season in this look. I Think she's worn some stronger stuff throughout the season, actually.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I think her package overall has been so strong, and I think this is great because I. Because this is, you know, that this is so hard to create, because before she said it, I was like, wait, so she, like, throwing herself a pattern? Whatever. No, this is not sewing herself a pattern. This was, like, meticulously done so that the cheetah pattern read, like, in the beatings. Like, that is crazy, I think. And her face looks good. I love this loaf. Like, she's, you know, she's a pageant girl from Houston, which she said, like, Michelle said 19 times, and she is, like, really paying homage to the pageantry system that she's from, and I think she looks. She looks. I love this, and this is such a cool way that I don't think. And I don't go to a lot of pageants, so I may not know, but to see someone doing, like, a pattern like this in a gown, I think this looks. This looks really cool to me. I love this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't say I don't love it. I just said it's just not my favorite thing that she's worn. What's your favorite look of the Runway, though?

[Monet X Change]

My favorite look would be. Ooh, a cross between Sasha and Mistress.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Really?

[Monet X Change]

And I would have to go with Sasha because I really do love this hair. The hair, honestly fucking sends me over the edge. I love it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's so interesting.

[Monet X Change]

Who is you? Who do you. Who do you think?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Excuse me. Sorry. I mean, I'm kind of.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, wake your ass up, nigga.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anetra and Luxx. I really love her.

[Monet X Change]

Really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anetra has my favorite hair on the Runway by a mile. Like, she looks. Her hair is just so. I've never actually seen hair like this before. I just think that Lux look just looks really beautiful. Yeah, but also, Sasha looks great too. I mean, I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

Who's your favorite? You got to choose one.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. This is tough. I think the one that I want to look at the most is. Is. Is Lux. I want to look at Lux more than I want to look at the other ones, for sure. Do you have a least favorite?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, if we have to choose out of the four, my least favorite would be Anetra, but she looks great. But out of the four, it will be Anetra. What about you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monet continues her Anetra Slander.

[Monet X Change]

No, I'm kidding.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My least favorite is probably a Mistress out of the four. Yeah. So we find out.

[Monet X Change]

Why do you hate big girls. What is your.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I said, what are big girls? I said what I said.

[Monet X Change]

Wow. Bob is fat phobic. Confirmed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Confirmed. I think that my. So after this. After this, we find out there is indeed a winner. Sasha Colby has secured her fourth win of the season.

[Monet X Change]

Do you agree?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. Her look was great. Her, actually, every single look she gave, every single look in this episode was great. Her interview was really good. What she said to her child self, which, by the way, she was fully a blonde as a child. I was like, who is this little white kid?

[Monet X Change]

It was a wig girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, was it?

[Monet X Change]

She said it was a wig. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding, Bob. She said I wear a wig. I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Kids wear wigs for fun anyway. Kids wear wigs for fun. But she.

[Monet X Change]

She.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She had the best interview I think she had. She spoke to her child self really, really well. She had all of her looks this episode were. Were great. Only thing I didn't love was her verse. That's the only thing I didn't like love. So she. I think she had a very strong package, whereas Lux, I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

Lux had a great childhood moment. She had a good interview. Her verses. Her verse was good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I thought her interview was fine. I thought her verse was. I think her looks are great. I didn't love her first look. Her. Her. Her on the spaceship look. And. And I didn't like that you could see her. Her. Her tights in her choreography look. But I did love her Runway look. Her Runway look is my favorite one, though. And Anitra messed up a few times. And so did Mistress messed up a few times. So I think, yeah, Sasha Kobe deserves to win this episode. Yeah. Who do you think deserves to win this episode? Even though Mistress had the best verse, but I do think that Sasha had a overall better package.

[Monet X Change]

Now I get torn in these. I'm like, do you weigh them all equally? I'm like, the challenge of this episode was to. To do a verse, write a good verse and do this music video. Like, that's the challenge and the Runway.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I think everything else is kind of like she's messed up the most in the video, though.

[Monet X Change]

I know, I know. So she fucked up with. Ok, so maybe because of her fucking with the choreo, I think that takes out a winning. But I would have put it. I think I would have given it to Luxx, actually. I would have given Luxx the win. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So Sasha wins. Luxx is second place. Lucy cannot argue with this. 1. And then we found out that Anetra and Mistress Isabel Brooks are in the bottom two. They must lip sync to When Love Takes Over. Great song, by the way. But, like, I just. Part of me is like, you're gonna ask them to be in these extravaganza. I mean, Anetra did come prepared because she's seen the tomfoolery that we pull on RuPaul's Drag Race. But even that being said, she. It just wasn't that kind of song. I mean, there is some great dance moments, but it's also When Love Takes over is a dance ballad. It's like a cross between a dance song and a ballad, you know?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I love what Mistress did. I think Mistress did a good job. And when Anetra took off her skirt and she walked that fucking duck, I kind of agree. Like, I loved what Mistress did the most because we've seen a lot of this stuff before, so it's like she found a way to do it. And honestly, she couldn't do a whole bunch because she's in this 60 pound beaded gown. First of all, I'm not going to risk destroying this very expensive garment for a lip sync. Like, I'm sorry. I mean, yes, I will. But I would be sitting there like, oh, if I put popped one bead, I would be like, ugh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ugh.

[Monet X Change]

I would be so livid.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I thought there are people who kind of seem annoyed that Anetra keeps duck walking, but no one seems annoyed when. When Mistress does her titty bounce. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

Have we seen them do that before?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The titty bounce, I think. Are you. Are you telling a joke right now?

[Monet X Change]

She lip synced once before.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She did the titty bounce twice in this episode. A lot.

[Monet X Change]

Right in the music video on this. But we seen Anisha walk that fucking duck six times now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She did the titty bounce in the first episode in her lip sync in the. Literally in the first episode. Every time she's lip sync, she's done a titty bounce literally every single time.

[Monet X Change]

She not. She's not doing what she did with Luxx when she did the other. She did not titty bounce there. She did do it. She did do it twice this episode, and I don't remember the first episode.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When did Mistress lip sync?

[Monet X Change]

When in. When they did for the Lollaparuza. You remember?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, she did. Well, I don't know if she did every single time, but I know she has done the titty bounce a lot. Like, a lot of times. It is A But I'm just saying it's weird that everyone's like, why she keep duck walking?

[Monet X Change]

Well, in just defense, we just seen Anisha duck walk a whole lot more. I mean, I mean, lip sync a whole lot more than the average girl. She's lip synced like three times. Plus three times in the loud. She lip synced three times out of the bottom, and she's lip synced three times in the lollaparuza because she had to go all the way to the end.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's out of the bottom three times. Three times against Marcia.

[Monet X Change]

Against someone else with three times, I'm pretty sure.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she lip synced this episode. Marsha and who else Tonight

[Monet X Change]

Marshall is another time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She lives in Sasha Colby. And then she lip synced against Lux and somebody else and she lost that.

[Monet X Change]

Uh huh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So are you counting the lollaparuzuma?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, there are a lot of parasma. She did three times and then she lip syncs against Marcia. I don't know. Someone else watched this episode

[Bob the Drag Queen]

who got sent home.

[Monet X Change]

Counting this episode.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes, Counting this episode. She's been in the bottom twice. Yeah. And then she also got toward the end of the lollaparooza, she sent home Jacks. Oh, Selina sent home jacks.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So maybe it was five times. But we've just seen her lip sync more. And plus, in her talent show, that would be six. We just seen her lip sync more times than a lot of girls on this season. So. And listen, bitch, I am. I. I have my tricks that I do, my set of skills that I do every time I lip sync. No, I'm not trying. I'm not coming for her for that. I'm just saying we just had. We just had to see her lip sync a lot on the show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are you happy that they both stayed?

[Monet X Change]

Um, I'm happy because I feel like Mistress would have went home because she only has one win compared to Anetra's three. And it just would not be fair for Anetra to go home. Anetra's done a great job this season. It will be shade. It will be Shaytus in her home. So I'm happy that it's four because Mistress gets to stay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

According to you, she had been in the bottom a thousand times. Has she? She's been in the bottom 18,000 times.

[Monet X Change]

How do you feel, Anita?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The queen of the bottom, honey. Queen of the bottom. She's the. She's the Cameron Michaels of this. Of this season.

[Monet X Change]

How do you feel?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I wish that one girl would have gone Home. And I don't know who, but I do wish that a girl would have gone home. It's not about anyone in particular. I just prefer a top three. I think we can really focus more on three. Like giving three people really good moments over four.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, last season, season 14, we saw. We saw four great moments.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I said what? I said, Monet. I'm not. I'm not redacting. I think we can focus more on three people, give them three really strong moments as opposed to doing it with four people. I think it's better when we have three people. That's just my opinion. It's my opinion.

[Monet X Change]

Well, it's your talent to your wrong opinion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you think four is better?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, I don't think it's. We get any less or more than three or four.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, I mean, you actually get less or more because the time. Shorter and longer. Like, they would stretch it out with three people versus four people. So it is actually less or more.

[Monet X Change]

I don't think that's how that works. I think each girl is gonna get a third, 90 seconds, whatever it is, to do their final number and a lip sync. I don't think they're gonna get. If it was whether it's three girls or four girls, they'd have just found more things to fill the episode with, like, I don't know, Colleen. There'll just find more things for the episode. They're gonna get this. Him out of time to perform. That being said, who do you think is gonna go against each other in the finale?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, they're probably gonna spin a will. It's probably gonna be like one of those clickety, clickety clicketies and making it right. Spin a what?

[Monet X Change]

Spin a what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A clickety. A will. A clickety. Clickety clickety.

[Monet X Change]

Like the thing you do when someone dies. A will.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no. Yeah, they're gonna. They're gonna. They're gonna write. They're gonna write up a will and they're gonna spend it. They're gonna spin it. What about it? That's what I said.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I. Will a will.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, they're gonna. They're gonna. No, it's actually gonna be. It's actually gonna be. It's gonna be. It's gonna be Eric McCormick from Will and Grace.

[Monet X Change]

Actually, they're gonna spin him around.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I think so. That's what I think. I'm predicting it now. I think they're going to bring out Eric McCormick and spin them. That's my prediction. Maybe William Shatner. It could be him.

[Monet X Change]

William Defoe could be Defeo. Bob, we've almost made it through another season of Drag Race. How do you feel? We're almost at the end. How do you feel about this season overall?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's had some really great moments. I've enjoyed the workroom a lot this season, and I think there's. I think there are some. I think there will be some Drag Race mainstays, like queens who will be, like, remembered for a long time from this season. I can see, like, maybe, like, three. Three or four of these girls really being Drag Race staples.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Some. Some really strong.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who are the Drag Race staples? Who are the staples from your season 10?

[Monet X Change]

The staples from my season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who are the staples?

[Monet X Change]

I would say Aquaria. I would say Eureka. I would say Ms. Cracker. I would say. What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nothing. Keep going.

[Monet X Change]

You are so. You are so. You're too much. You're too much.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're almost there.

[Monet X Change]

I would say Mona X. Change. I would say. Is that.

[Sponsor/Host]

Is that everyone?

[Monet X Change]

You're a chaos agent.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're leaving out two.

[Monet X Change]

You are, as my grandmother would say, a work of iniquity.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Just answer the question. Is that everyone?

[Monet X Change]

Sinclair.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sinclair and Vanjie, go ahead. Who? Go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, Vanjie. But I still see it. Vanjie with season 11, even though Ms. Vanjie was season 10.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And that's everyone. No one else. No one else is. The other one's just dumb losers, idiots who couldn't make it.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. Okay, who are the main season eight?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Me, Kim, Naomi and Chichi. And Derrick Berry.

[Monet X Change]

Wow, you almost forgot about Derek, actually.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And actually, I'm gonna give Layla McQueen. Layla Queen has cemented herself as a staple, too. And no one else. And no one else.

[Monet X Change]

When I call my Uber tonight to go out to Evita, I'm going to tell Robbie Turner what she said.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. She gonna be the one driving you there?

[Monet X Change]

Yes, she is. And I will make my destination.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All right, thank you so much for listening to Sylvan Watch.
