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

of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12 month plan required $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow sea terms.
Kim Chi
We are back for sibling watchery. We are reviewing episode four, Drag Queen season 17. And we have Chicago drag legend, makeup mogul. I know makeup beauty, fashion icon Kim Chi on the pod today.
Monet X Change
Some would even say the destination of la.
Kim Chi
One girl who wouldn't say it. I know one girl who wouldn't. Honey, you're not the. You are a slave. But not the premier.
Monet X Change
My God. Just to be clear, I've never claimed that title. Naomi said it on Pissed up in Monet. And then next thing you know, my DM was like filled up with people like, yes, Leys and diva of la. And I'm like, what are these people talking about? Because I haven't seen the show at
Kim Chi
that time, the premiere. Also not Manila. Luzon, who's lived in LA forever and ever found dead. Manila. Angina found dead.
Monet X Change
Also Raja.
Kim Chi
Raja found dead, but also Manila.
Bob the Drag Queen
Actually, Manila was a New York queen when she did drag race. No.
Kim Chi
Yeah, when she did drag race.
Commercial Announcer
But.
Kim Chi
But I mean, she was there longer than Kim. And Raja's been there since. I think the tar pits were just getting started.
Bob the Drag Queen
Boiling dinosaurs.
Monet X Change
But you know what? It's not just like one Asian queen. Takes rules all. You know, there can be many of us representing different aspects of drag.
Bob the Drag Queen
Give us a pageant era.
Kim Chi
I can't.
Monet X Change
Representation matters.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can we Get Shade. Shade Chi back. That's what. That's the Kim I need. Shade Chi.
Monet X Change
No, Shade Chi's been here.
Kim Chi
She's shady when she needs to be. Not shady just for the purpose of being shady. Kim understands the art of shade.
Monet X Change
It's not just shady with purpose, you know.
Kim Chi
Exactly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shady with a purpose, Kim. Okay, so. So you haven't watched this season. Do you love? Do you hate?
Monet X Change
Okay, so I'm not gonna lie. When Jacob texted me this morning about doing this, and I'm like, oh, my God, I haven't seen the season. So then I went to the gym, and I walked in the treadmill, and then I, like, watched all the episodes it took, and I finally got four hours.
Kim Chi
Yeah, it was four hours.
Monet X Change
Four hours.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Yeah.
Monet X Change
But, you know, there's. There's a lot to do at the gym.
Ad Voice
Baby.
Kim Chi
Kim was on that treadmill. Honey. Kim said, I live here now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I tell you that, like. So I have recently gotten into watching a program on. While doing cardio. How the time will fly.
Monet X Change
It goes so fast when you listen to music, especially when you know the music. Time goes by so slow.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, yes. The music was talking about, so. But a show done.
Monet X Change
Especially the show that you haven't seen before. Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt you.
Kim Chi
Yeah, no, you're fine. I was. I feel. It depends on what you're watching, though, right? I. What I have found works for me is either watching, like, Tony Award performances. Baby, I. I'll do maybe four, five. I'm like, oh, my God, 30 minutes have already passed. Once I'm. Once I'm. I'm on the. On the treadmill doing Anything goes with Sutton Foster. I'm like, girl, I can do a couple. I can do a couple more round.
Monet X Change
And also downside to watching this is, like, I watch a lot of Korean dramas too, and sometimes they get really sad and sappy. So I'm on the treadmill, crying as I'm watching this screaming, looking like a crazy person, like, crying on the treadmill.
Kim Chi
These people just going through their dramas, families dying, and you're like, this guy really loves working out.
Monet X Change
I'm like, who's that fat in the treadmill? Just like, crying because she doesn't want to be there.
Kim Chi
With that in mind, we should go ahead and hop into this episode. Here we have an episode called Bitch, I'm a Drag Queen, and Lucky Stars has just gone to the house. Yeah, they sent the girl home.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And, you know, I. I didn't see Lucky Star. I did not see Lucky Stars. Going home so soon. But she did. And I think now. Because what? Because Kim, I don't know how much. Yes, you caught up. But lucky and arietti have this, like, showmance and in on talk, lucky was being very cold. Like, yeah, that sucks. But now she's, like, getting very emotional, and I love to see the love that these two have for each other.
Kim Chi
I don't think she was cold. I think she was just, like, uncomfortable. But she, Arietty has been the driving force behind the showmance and lucky stars. Kind of, like, cool. Yay, sis. And arietti's like, give me that dingling. Give me that paper mache dingling, honey.
Monet X Change
Also, like, she wasn't in, like, a mood to, like, you know, like, celebrate, you know? So what is she supposed to do, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I guess.
Monet X Change
However, my favorite thing about watching drag queens on drag race is watching them get salty. That is my favorite thing.
Kim Chi
We stand salt. We.
Monet X Change
We love.
Kim Chi
I love a good. I love a good umami queen.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what I mean? Salt bag.
Monet X Change
I love a good salt queen. I'm going to lick it like a salt lamp.
Kim Chi
So Arietti, Susie, and lucky are devastated that lucky stars has gone home. And Joella literally cannot understand why the girls, she's like, what the hell they mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. I'm trying to think if there's anyone like that on season 10. I don't think there's anyone on season 10 that we got emotional, like, over emotional about. There's no one that we left. And we were all boohoo and crying. We were all like, okay, excited to see you go next. Yeah.
Monet X Change
On our season two, like, at first, it was, like, sad the first couple episodes, but then after that, we're like, all right, whatever. Yeah.
Kim Chi
Well, to be fair, Kim and I were crying pretty hard when acid Betty got eliminated. I don't think it's because I don't think Kim was crying because that's a bit. I was crying because that's a bit. It went home and Kim was crying. Cause she was like, wow, this is a really hard competition. And I still hold this to this day. Kim. Me and Kim are side by side. It's a sad clown leaning on. Leaning on this crazy clown. And she goes. And we're both woohooing so bad. The more essay had to be like, bob, stop. Do you remember that? She goes, bob, stop. And then Kim's looking at me, and she goes, I didn't know it would be this hard. Like, as a sad clown. I didn't know it would Be this hard. We were both just balling like kimchi, watching the Korean drama on the treadmill.
Monet X Change
And, you know, luckily all of that was cut out. Like, you know, none of us saw there, thank God.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you know what?
Monet X Change
As far as anyone, I didn't cry.
Kim Chi
It was actually Bob who cried, you know, I did. You got me there. So Arietta says, Arietta is like, so they're asking the girl if the girl's like, you know, congratulating girls and asking other girls how they felt. So Arietti, who, in my opinion, should have won the challenge, I like her outfit the best. Go when they like, hey, how did you feel? She goes, it is what it is. But that's what she said to the girl. But her confessional, she is like, I can't believe Sam Star wanting that ass, boot scooting boogie ass, Walmart ass, lame bus driver ass wig.
Bob the Drag Queen
I, I will say the wig was suspicious. Like, I, I, I, as a kitty cat connoisseur, that was a suspicious kitty cat. Why?
Kim Chi
I thought it was a nice kitty cat.
Monet X Change
I kind of like that wig. I thought it was cute. It looks like something you would have worn on Work the World.
Kim Chi
Honestly, it does. It was like a styled kit. It was not like a shake and go. It was a, literally a styled nice kitty cat wig.
Bob the Drag Queen
It looked like a helmet. It looked like it was hard. It looked like a helmet.
Monet X Change
It's like a finger wave. It had a little volume in it, you know, I was not mad. You know.
Kim Chi
Do you think it's better than the kitty cash? You were on Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why are you trying to be funny, though?
Kim Chi
I'm asking. This is a legitimate question, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know you're trying to be funny.
Kim Chi
I'm just. You don't have to answer. I'll answer.
Monet X Change
Get her, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's better than the ones you are on Drag Race.
Kim Chi
Okay, first of all, I, I, I still stand by this for the most part, almost across the board. I had great. But not only did I have pretty good wigs, my wigs, every wig I wore was better than every wig you wore on Drag Race. That's just true.
Bob the Drag Queen
Never. Bob, the fucking red one that you wore in the, in the, in the, what is it? The octoroons? What is it called?
Kim Chi
We were. That wig is that red bowl cut. I love that. That red bowl cut was the fucking
Bob the Drag Queen
two tone Madonna wig.
Kim Chi
Oh, oh, the Madonna wig, also great.
Bob the Drag Queen
Give, can you please give? Talk to me as a Madonna superfan. Tell me about this, about, about this Madonna wig.
Kim Chi
Who had the best wigs? The question me or Monet on our original seasons.
Monet X Change
Okay, I'm coming into this like and looking at this objectively.
Kim Chi
Objectively. Bring up some receipts, Jacob.
Monet X Change
Objectively as like an outsider who is not involved in any and not taking any size. I would say Bob did have nicer wigs coming into Drag Race.
Kim Chi
Thank you.
Monet X Change
Especially some of like there was like a custom hairline one.
Kim Chi
Thank you.
Monet X Change
With that being said, I don't know if the wigs all fit properly, but they were nicer wigs that you brought in.
Kim Chi
Well, I did not learn Kim's art of big wiggery. Kim knows how to get the wigs. But a big headed hose. Big headed girls need special wigs. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. So as we keep going on. So it's a new day, right? And Arietti is called out for being quiet because the girl like do us the impersonation of each other. So then I think Sam star does impersonate Mary Yeti where she's quiet and. And then Arrietty says a cunty bitch doesn't have to say much, but an ugly bitch does. And she sends it to Sam Starr. I was like, jesus Christ.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, honestly, I think I agree with her. It was pretty egregious that she did not win that song competition. I think her outfit was light years beyond Sam's. So I mean, she's probably just still really pent up and salty about that, which I agree.
Monet X Change
But you know, sometimes I genuinely feel like some of these winners are chosen to be like social media bait because if everybody won that where the general public agreed with, no one would be talking about the show on social media and things. So sometimes I feel like they purposely give the win to someone maybe that wasn't the right winner. And then it gets people talking. They get talking. People talking on social media.
Kim Chi
Do you two think you've ever been robbed of a win or given a win you didn't deserve?
Monet X Change
No, probably not.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think on All Stars 7, there were definitely some I could have won that I did not for sure.
Kim Chi
Were you ever given a win you didn't deserve?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll give the one I didn't deserve either one. I'm trying to think like either one. Either season I was on, you mean.
Kim Chi
Yeah, sure.
Ad Voice
I.
Bob the Drag Queen
What did I win on? I don't remember. In. In my view, probably not. But in others, not the main win.
Kim Chi
Oh, the kitty cat. Honestly, I actually like that kitty cat. That's a nice kitty cat. Actually, I like that one.
Monet X Change
That one. I Like, I think I was robbed during Perfect.
Kim Chi
Okay, who won? Victor. Oh, Chichi.
Commercial Announcer
No.
Kim Chi
Chichi did a good job. Gigi ate big. Perfect. Now. She did.
Monet X Change
She was as good as me, you know? But, yeah, they.
Kim Chi
They edited out Kimchi doing it upside down, which is shady to me. Get on that clock.
Bob the Drag Queen
That. No, I'm kidding.
Monet X Change
I'm not gonna take chichi. Shine away.
Bob the Drag Queen
RuPaul comes in. He announces the maxi challenge, and the girls are creating commercials for I'm a Dragon Volume 1 and 2, which is basically a musical acting challenge, kind of. So this is what people are doing. Susie is on the Valentina. You're perfect. You're beautiful. You look like a model. Sam is doing Kandy and Tamisha. Star quality.
Kim Chi
Everyone's. This is.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you. We don't have to. We don't have to.
Kim Chi
I thought about writing them all down. I was like, this is a lot, but you can do. I mean, it's fine. What are the highlights from it that you. That you saw? Like, ones that you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm just. Because there's still more in between that.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anya's doing Put your lighters up. Lydia is doing no class, no manners, which I don't remember. Like, no one cares about Morgan McMichaels thing from that we only care about Bitch, I'm from Chicago. No one cares about Morgan had to say no.
Kim Chi
No.
Monet X Change
The iconic. Sweetie, you need to fix your hair. Fix your mug. Yeah, that's Morgan McMichaels. Me and Violet Touchkey quote that to each other all the time.
Kim Chi
I mean, I did write down. I wrote down no class, no matter should recall, bitch, I'm from Chicago.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Like, I was like, why that? Lexi's doing this is yous Moment. Lana's doing the Morgan Michaels part of the no class of manners. Corey is doing Don't. Like, that's another one. Trade. Oh, no, trade. Trade in, like, the session. Right. Joella is doing we write the stories. That was another random one. I was like, Mariah. Like, why that?
Monet X Change
Okay, so Mariah's, like, a amazing queen, you know? But all the other, like, speeches were very, like, prolific and, like, iconic. And Mariah's speech, like, I genuinely, like, don't remember seeing it. And I had to, like, go look it up. And I'm like, this. Yeah. Why would they pick this one?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it was so. Because Drag Race, we have so many iconic things. Why? That was so weird.
Monet X Change
But I'm happy for Mariah, you know, get her little moment to.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, Jules is doing back rolls. Harmonica is doing. I nominate Myself by Chanel Crystal is doing unprofessional. Another weird one to me. Oh, no. Yeah, it was arietty's doing back rolls with Jules and Acacia. Star quality with Sam.
Kim Chi
I don't know why it drove me so crazy. You read all those. I was like, this is. I'm. This is. You're killing me. This is killing me.
Bob the Drag Queen
People who listen to the podcast, why. They want. They want clarity.
Kim Chi
I'm assuming they already know because they want. They watch the show. That's not the point. That's not the point. The point is, I really liked. If I would have got one, I would have wanted the glamazon one that Cory King pulled. That's such. Such a great. It's probably one of the greatest, like, monologues. It's up there with, you're perfect. You're beautiful. You're like a model.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I. I'm annoyed that, like, I. I hate that they. They. They chose it. But you didn't know what your genre was. Because I'm like, that's a big part of it. Like, so, I mean, I guess that's also part of the challenge is whatever it is, you just have to do it.
Kim Chi
But you don't choose them. You just take the one on top. They weren't choosing.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. Yeah, right. So, like, I'm.
Kim Chi
I'm.
Ad Voice
I'm.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm. It sucks to me that you like, you. You're just. You're just thrusted with. With a genre that you may not do. Like, Joella doing gospel. She maybe should have been better doing country and western. I don't know.
Kim Chi
But you would. Didn't pick them. They. They were just given one. So they would have gotten the genre no matter what. They can't change the genre.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. I'm saying that part sucks about the challenge, not not being able to choose a genre that you get.
Monet X Change
Oh, and then I would love to have to let the queens, you know, like, fight over, like, which genre that they wanted. Yeah, that would have provided great drama too, instead of, like, just getting stuck with whatever they pulled.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I agree.
Kim Chi
RuPaul says. RuPaul says these are not imitations. You're not doing impersonations. Make it your own. She wants it to be reimagined. And then at some point, I hear Jules being like, I'm gonna channel Alyssa. And I was like, ooh, that's not what she has said. But it didn't end up affecting it, because I don't think she really channeled her.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm about to say she ain't Shannon. If she was channeling Alyssa, it wasn't. That would. That didn't read for me in her thing.
Kim Chi
Can I say one of my favorite things is when they're. When they're listening to their music. I just wrote this down. Love. Alana goes, I pray for something cunt. I love it when I pray for something that is like, I want to show this. I pray for something cunt. That is such a unintentionally brilliant line. I pray for something cunt.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think we see Crystal taking the. Taking on this, like, group leader role. And it always surprises me to this day on Drag Race.
Kim Chi
Wait, we went too far. I want to. We scooped over something real quick. Harmona Lisa is sitting here in a shake and go wig saying she has never worn a shake and go wig. And before, it wasn't inside. I was like, bitch, you are. I've like, in a shake and go wig saying, I have never worn. That's how she goes. And I don't even think she shook it.
Bob the Drag Queen
A hard front wig. Not even a girl. Not even a lace front. A hard front shake and girl wig is crazy.
Kim Chi
It's in the Roscoe's Drag hall of Fame now.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is. It is.
Kim Chi
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah. Then I saw another clip that she gave it to somebody else somewhere else.
Monet X Change
Has a. I'm sure she has multiples of this wig.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, multiple. She's a Santa Claus. Going to different gigs and giving this wig to different people. That's crazy.
Kim Chi
To be fair, she probably bought them in, but she could have bought five at a time. They don't look terribly expensive if we're
Bob the Drag Queen
going to keep it a buck.
Monet X Change
Do you remember Peppermint's border wig?
Kim Chi
Border? What do you mean, border?
Monet X Change
So on work the world tour, Peppermint had a wig that, like, she kept in her bag. And then every time we cross the border between Canada and, like, North America and then we have to, like, like, show our passports and all that, Peppermint put on this wig.
Kim Chi
It's probably the hair she's wearing on
Bob the Drag Queen
the passport in the picture.
Monet X Change
Probably.
Bob the Drag Queen
So then we call it.
Monet X Change
We ended up calling that wig the border wig.
Kim Chi
I'm screaming at the border wig.
Commercial Announcer
Word.
Kim Chi
The border.
Monet X Change
Here comes the border wig.
Bob the Drag Queen
My worst part about a fucking bus tour is having to wake up at 4 o' clock in the morning or 3 o' clock in the morning to have to fucking cross the border. Anyway.

Kim Chi
So for some reason, Sam seems to be annoyed by Butthole. Like, Sam, right before they start recording, Sam is just like, not featuring Butthole's drag. Like, she's like, no hit pads and no something else again.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kim Chi
And I was like, is there beef
Commercial Announcer
we don't know about?
Monet X Change
But also at this point I said we accepted as drag community, it's okay not to pad.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I think we did too. But Sam is definitely like, she can tell she's an old school southern type of drag person. She probably doesn't feature that type of drag at all, which is her prerogative. But yeah, I mean, at this day and age, I mean, I think I see, I see if you go to a bar, you will go and see a couple of bitches with no pads on because they want to have their toes out and legs out and yada, yada, yada.
Kim Chi
Yeah, you can have your toes out, not your legs. You can have your knees down. You can even have like high thigh down and wear a pad. I mean, I still wear a pad. I think it, in my humble opinion. I do think that most queens look better with pads on, in my opinion. Unless you're wearing something that doesn't, that doesn't hug your body. But what do I know? I'm just, I'm just some drag queen.
Monet X Change
I think it's fine if you like proportionalize it. Like if I see queens like fully padded with hip, but then they wear no breasts or like they'll pat the side of the hips, but then they don't feel the back.
Bob the Drag Queen
So then it's like, yeah, girl, that being, that's the Part.
Ad Voice
What do you.
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you go all the time putting hip pads on and no butts. When you turn to the side and you are just, like, shot in the
Monet X Change
back, you know, if you're gonna do it, like, fully, like, sculpt yourself, you know, don't do it, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that's a part that'd be a little fishy for me. So I. I was saying, Crystal is taking on this lead before they even get into the challenge. Like Wendy does working the workroom. Crystal's taking on the lead group leader role of her team, and it's Tilt. It surprises me when girls do this on Drag Race, because at this point, I can't think of the last challenge when Rude judged it as a group. Like, I can't think of maybe season three. Like, that has been a thing. So why would you put yourself, like, in this position?
Kim Chi
They judged as a group on our.
Bob the Drag Queen
On our season, on season eight.
Commercial Announcer
They did.
Ad Voice 2
Yeah.
Kim Chi
And they probably done it. I'm sure they've done it after that. I'm sure.
Monet X Change
Also, it changes, like, depending on, like, how the girls do sometimes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Like, they'll be like, all right, we're gonna judge this group this time.
Kim Chi
I mean, it does make sense. If a group is overwhelmingly bad. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
To have a leader.
Kim Chi
No. To judge by groups. If one team is overwhelmingly bad, then I say yes. Judging by groups.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where's my thing? Do you think. Do you think they decide that. Do you think, like, ruin them? Decide that, like, after they see them, they're like, okay, this was so bad. We have to do this.
Commercial Announcer
I would.
Monet X Change
100%. Yeah. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I think you should know that going in.
Monet X Change
But, you know, like, Drag Race has never been about, like, let's give the best person or whatever, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Every winner was chosen, you know, for a political statement or, you know, for a reason.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Yeah.
Kim Chi
But sometimes they get it right.
Monet X Change
Not our season, but.
Kim Chi
So, okay. One thing that drives me. How do you guys not know this? Like, Tumbleweed rolls with wind when, like, you come away. Is not just, like, picking up momentum by itself. They're like, let's just toss it. Like, girl, no. Tumbleweed is being blown through. I don't know how they don't know that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And I also think if she was gonna play the Tumbleweed, they should have, like, stuck some straw on her or something, because out of context, she's just rolling in the back. You don't understand what it's supposed to be. I'm like, girl, they have just cut some of it and glue it on her elbows or like on her. Like it just looked. She could have held. She could have held it in her hands and tumb. Okay, that's a. How you gonna hold in your hand and tumble?
Kim Chi
You just hold it. Just.
Monet X Change
But also, you're expecting drag queens to like know gravity and science and all this too, you know, like.
Kim Chi
Yeah, physics y statistics. What's that queen? Who's that queen from Kind. The queen from Canada who's like a mathematician.
Monet X Change
A kind.
Kim Chi
Yeah, she, you know, she's like a. She's like a legit mathematician. It's kind of crazy.
Monet X Change
Oh, she released a book. I wrote the blurb for it. So. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh my God. I. I've written. I've written a forward on a book before too. Bob. Have you written a forward on a book before?
Monet X Change
Bob, It's a book.
Bob the Drag Queen
He wrote a book.
Kim Chi
I wrote a whole book. Wait, Kim, do you still do any graphic design work at all?
Monet X Change
Not really.
Kim Chi
Yeah, okay, that makes sense. You're doing other stuff
Monet X Change
anyway.
Kim Chi
I wrote down that hitting someone in the face with a powder puff but not using a lot of powder seemed crazy to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I agree. I really should have had like. It should have been like a slight gag. But also. Well, I guess at this point you don't care if your makeup gets ruined. But. And it's also just powder. It'll brush off. But yeah, I agree. Like, you're. She's. You're hitting it, but there's no effect.
Monet X Change
There's no like, you know, just based on like how like the queens are doing. I was like, a lot of them don't have like, experience like producing and like directing because these are the little details that only people who have done it before would know or even like how things are going to read on camera, like costuming wise.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Kim Chi
I also don't like that when queens have to be funny, they're like, I have to do my makeup crazy. Yeah. And I'm like, why can't you just like do your standard face and then just do something funny like, like smear
Monet X Change
their makeup for like a stand up routine? And I'm like, that's not really funny. You just have bad makeup.
Kim Chi
Yeah, I'm like, I don't, I don't. I. I don't personally get it. I mean, I don't. And I like, it just didn't make it. One of the. I can't remember one of the. We had these giant lips that they would never do. I was like, this doesn't look good. And it doesn't make sense, guys. Like, come on, let's, let's. Let's think. Let's think. Like, let's not think this far outside of the box, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I don't. I. I don't.
Monet X Change
I don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't remember seeing that.
Kim Chi
And Harmona was. They felt like Harmona wasn't doing a lot, but she felt like she's doing enough. And to be honest, in the end, I think I thought it worked.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, she was the.
Monet X Change
She was the Chanel.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, are we talking about. Are doing them recording it or the.
Kim Chi
When she was recording it, the girls were like, she's not doing enough. But then when they play back, it looked like she was doing a lot.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I would say so too. And also I think that when Corey was doing hers, like, I was, like, trusting, like, Corey's vision. Cause Corey seems to be a pretty funny person and she understands comedy a little bit. So I'm, like, trusting the process. I'm like, you know what? It's one of those things that looks crazy doing it, but it's gonna turn out well.
Kim Chi
Cut to. Let's go to group number two. So Susie. I think Susie has some really good ideas. Susie seems to be a really seasoned performer who knows how to get her message across very easily.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I wonder what. I mean, she's from Florida. Does she. I know she's a theater queen. Mean, like, she likes theater. Do we know that? Did she work in, like, does she work in theater? Do you know?
Monet X Change
Yeah, let me call her up.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hey, Susie. Jacob, see if you can figure it out really quick.
Kim Chi
And I mean, Anya. Also, I'm noticing Anya doesn't seem terribly interested in working with the group, like, in general. She's. She's giving herself very much lone wolf vibes.
Bob the Drag Queen
I agree. I hate group projects. I hate group projects. I don't like them at school. I don't like them at work. I hate doing with other people. Like, when. When I feel that there's, like, there's like, a lot on the line, I. I don't like relying on other people with my work.
Kim Chi
Kim, how do you feel about doing the. The group numbers on Work the World?
Monet X Change
So they always come with so much drama. Always, always, always, like, there's always a queen who thinks, like, she's, like, too cool to do, like, certain parts, so then, like, they'll get in, like, fights with everybody. Rehearsal is always a nightmare because, like, everybody always, like, flies in, like, several days before, but there's always like, that one queen who would, like, fly, like, on the last day just because, like, to hold power over so then everybody, like, rehearses over and over again. And when the queen gets there, we have to, like, basically teach her and then rehearse over and over again. So then everybody's, like, exhausted, and then fully give.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Monet X Change
And then, like, that queen is always, like, the messing up. And, like, you guys never taught me, and I'm like, you showed up late.
Bob the Drag Queen
You showed up late.
Kim Chi
How do you feel about. Did you have any thoughts about the group. The group numbers on Work the Realm?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I. My first time going to Work the World, I think I was just always just excited to be on tour with, like, all these Drag Race queens that I loved, and I always wanted to work with. So I was just more sort of
Kim Chi
like, oh, my God, I get to
Bob the Drag Queen
do numbers with all these girls. The second time I did Work the World, I was like, all right. I was like, these group numbers, they're so fun, though. I actually like them. I think I like it all the time. I like. I love chaos and the grooming. Group numbers of work. The world is chaos. People don't want to do this. People can't do this. It's like the energy is so chaotic, and I kind of love it.
Monet X Change
And also, it is kind of, like, cheesy, but that's what I like about it. I love, like, cheesy parts of drag, too. You know, like, we can be, like, grand for our own numbers. And then, like, group numbers were like,
Bob the Drag Queen
I know the group numbers be so cheesy. Put your right foot in and put your right hand.
Kim Chi
Well, any of you, I don't know if. I don't know if Kim's still working the world. She's done a lot of time. But I will tell you this. If any of you girls want to know how to work the world, talk to Kim Chi. When I. You did the Halloween show a couple years ago when I came, was that you? Did you do the Halloween show?
Monet X Change
I did.
Kim Chi
Yeah, baby. When I came back to the. When I tell you, Kim has it down to a science. The other girls are backstage trying to get their stuff together. Baby, Kim is. Kim's waiting to know you at the dough. Kim's bag is packed. Kim has.
Bob the Drag Queen
She. She.
Kim Chi
She meticulously plans her outfit that she is wearing. Like, the thing that's the. That's the easy to take over the end. She is so meticulous that Kim is not only putting on a Great show. Wearing fantastic outfits, but she is ready to. When. When I tell y', all, Kim, don't play around. Kim is efficient at these.
Monet X Change
Oh, my bag is, like, fully, like, packed and closed even before the show is over.
Kim Chi
Yeah, it's very impressive. I was gagging. I was like. Because when I had left, you hadn't quite figured out the system yet. When I came back, I was like, oh, my God, Kim. She's like, yeah, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Kim and Naomi taught me a lot about touring. I learned. I learned. I really learned how to tour a lot from Kim and Naomi. Like, Naomi laying out. Naomi laying out every rhinestone nail hair of a brush that she might use is all. I'm like, okay, that's good. Good to know.
Kim Chi
So back to Drag Race. The girls don't sound like they're living for what Lexi's doing. And she's doing the Jasmine Kennedy. I'm trying to think like, Monet, were you gagged that you didn't have a moment in there?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I don't think. I don't think I have any moments on Drag Race that would. Jesus.
Kim Chi
No point. There's no big. Like. I think it's got to be, like, a big monologue, low key, or a huge fight.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Do y'.
Kim Chi
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you. Do y'.
Kim Chi
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do y' all have one? Y' all think that would have been. Belonged in there?
Kim Chi
No, we didn't really have any monologues. I mean, we had. We had a fight between Derek and Naomi in the fight between me and Derek, and I think that was, like, the biggest fights of our season.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I mean, maybe. I mean, I think. I think if it was. They weren't such controversial figures at this point. I think maybe Eureka and Vixen could have some, but I just don't think they. You know, the Vixen and Eureka had so many moments our season. So many, baby, you don't know me.
Kim Chi
So they. They reveal the reveal that Corey King is trying to do is not giving the fantasy she thinks it is giving. She was so excited to go grab that fucking dress, But I was like, girl, that is. She bedazzled crusted. Maybe it's a sequin dress.
Monet X Change
She's like, I'm gonna be a chicken. And then she just, like, ran with that chicken idea. But, like, the original spirit of Kendrick's speech wasn't even being a chicken.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah, it was. And also. Cause she was grabbing the dress that she revealed to the one that she had on from the episode before, but I was like, it's not, like, iconic enough.
Commercial Announcer
Or.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or maybe in the season, she felt that this dress would have more moment. Like, it would be. There'll be more weight to it. But it didn't really have the weight she thought it was gonna have.
Monet X Change
She thought this dress was gonna be, like, her sponge dress.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Like, it didn't think so.
Kim Chi
But also, the thing is, like, she should have done, like, they should have done, like, a TikTok reveal where she's actually wearing the dress and then someone grabs it and rips it off. But then they just cut the cameras and they just pull it, and it looks like they ripped it off, versus just laying the. Laying the dress on top of your. Laying a stretch. Stretch, which, by the way, is smaller than your body on top of your gigantic hips. I was like, girl, what is happening here?
Monet X Change
But with that being said, we love. We love delusion. That's another my favorite aspect of drug that I love. I love delusional queens.
Kim Chi
Well, last thing I'll say about Corey, too. I do think that Corey actually. I do think there was a way to edit Corey's thing to be funny, but I do think on a base level, it wasn't that funny. Also, she was like, comedy comes in so many different forms, and I am not a physical comedian. My humor is rarely through my body. Sometimes it's like a little bit of waist up. If I'm doing like, this, like, Simone in person, that can be kind of funny or, you know, the Utica hoo he ha ha. Like, there's a physical aspects to that thing, but, like, falling is such a specific form of comedy that I don't do. So just because you're funny doesn't mean you will be good at physical comedy. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
And on the heels of delusion, I love this moment on Drag Race when everyone comes back for the challenge, whether it be this improv thing or Snatch Game, I'd be like, everyone is confident. Everyone feels like they nailed it. Everyone thinks that, oh, I know I was funny. I know I'm not in the bottom. Everyone is so confident. I'm like, I love that because it's so delusional. But also, you don't have an audience to react to. So you think I definitely suffer from this. On Drag Race, I remember coming back from Whitney Houston, I was like, honestly, put me on. Put me on snl, girl. I put me on snl, baby.
Kim Chi
I get so mad. I told you not to do that, and you did it. I told you. I told you. I also love. This is the. This is the schadenfreude.
Bob the Drag Queen
To me.
Kim Chi
But I also love when they come back and everyone's like, girl, I'm in the bottom. I love when they come back and they're like, girl, this is the shittiest week we've ever done. Girl, none of us are gonna be in it. None of us ate. Girl, no one ate.
Bob the Drag Queen
Was there a challenge for Wolfie on season eight that y' all felt like
Kim Chi
that, where no one ate? No, we. Honestly, we had a pretty talented season, and we. A few people flopped, but no one. There was never like a. We all. We never had, like, a season four Snatch Game, but not all of y'. All.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm just saying this. Was there a challenge individually that y' all like. Y' all went and y' all was like, oh, I killed it. Or you thought you did really bad and you actually did really good.
Commercial Announcer
One.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's not one chance that both of y' all felt that way or one of y'.
Ad Voice 2
All.
Kim Chi
There's times I thought I did bad, and I did do bad. I did, I did. I thought I did poorly, and I did do poorly, but I never thought I did great and did poorly, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
And vice versa.
Kim Chi
I mean, I, I, I still to this day think that my book look was great, but I didn't enrich the materials, apparently. Do you think. Do you think your book look was better than Chi Chi's? No, I didn't say I should have won the challenge. Do you think it was better than Kim's, and do you think it was better than Naomi's?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, everyone that was there. No, wait, who else?
Kim Chi
There was with someone else there.
Bob the Drag Queen
Derek.
Kim Chi
And it was better than Derek's. It was better than Derek Barry's.
Commercial Announcer
That is.
Kim Chi
Everyone will give you that. Is there no one else there besides us?
Bob the Drag Queen
Those are five of y'. All top five?
Kim Chi
Oh, yeah. Then I guess. I guess I should have been the bottom two.
Monet X Change
No. But also, like, the entire season had been leading up to, like, Bob versus Derek Lip sync. So, you know, it made sense. You know,

So Crystal feels very confident because she took. She took on a leadership role. But then there's a moment where every time Joella opens her mo about feeling good, the other girls are all like, oh, Whenever Joe, whenever. Joella cannot breathe without these girls being like, okay, okay.
Monet X Change
I am, like, kind of obsessed with Joella. I feel like she's, like, the flavor that's been missing from Drag Race again.
Bob the Drag Queen
Look at my. Look at my screensaver. I'm obsessed.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God.
Kim Chi
Girl. We are. We are currently living in the Joella dynasty, honey. We are. We are. We are so lucky to be in the time of the Joella dynasty. Ms. Thing.
Monet X Change
Honestly, like, I want her in every episode. I just want to see her be her, you know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cam, imagine. Imagine Joella coming to a game night.
Monet X Change
Which game would he play with her?
Kim Chi
No one.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't imagine Joelle playing Secret Hitler. I don't know.
Kim Chi
What if she's the super Smash Brothers queen and she eats you down? Then what?
Monet X Change
I feel like that's not possible.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. No way.
Monet X Change
Not. Not with this. Not with this lineup.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So Kim and I, for sure.
Monet X Change
I mean, like, our game night already gets so tense because between you, Monet, me, Selena, please, Naomi, Andy, and. And then other people like to throw there. Like, we are all very, like, chaotic, competitive people. So.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, see, so the girls are all
Kim Chi
saying when they started drag, I'm a Pride queen. How about y'? All your college? College show?
Bob the Drag Queen
I was college. It was. First time in drag was college, but the first time I did it, like, in the world, like, for real was pride.
Monet X Change
Mine was Halloween.
Kim Chi
You're Halloween queen. Are we shame? Like, why would I, like, shame? Like, shaming Halloween queens is a thing that I didn't. I didn't realize. Like, boo, you're a Halloween queen. I said, on my season, like, there's. There's. Most queens do two of these things. Halloween or Pride. Like, a lot of queens are Halloween queens or Pride Queen. I was a Pride queen, and I didn't know we were shaming Halloween queens. Now, that seems wild to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think if we do that pride. You like finding yourself. You like being okay with being gay. You're going out to Pride, like, as, like, a fucking drag queen. Who's the most? Literally, we are. We are the most. But we. That is our equinox. We're the most powerful at Pride versus Halloween, where everybody wants to be a sexy whatever, and they just throw on a wig and Be slutty. You know what I mean? Halloween.
Kim Chi
Kim just told you she's a Halloween queen. This is crazy.
Monet X Change
You know what, Monet? I guess you win. I guess you're better than us. If that helps you sleep at night, good for you. You win.
Kim Chi
Yeah. So Lexi was thrown out of her home for being queer. And this is a story that we get on Drag Race a lot. She was, like, thrown out, clothes out the window, and she lived in, like, a not evacuated, dilapidated, foreclosed home. But she was like. But honestly, it was better than. It was better than being with my family.
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl, I can imagine. That sounds so traumatic. Sounds so traumatic.
Kim Chi
As queens who I think have connected to their culture on RuPaul's Drag Race, it's really cool to see Anya and Joella having a conversation. But also, Joella did. I mean, she came in that traditional Chinese inspired dragon, which I think was really fierce. Have we had that many Chinese drag queens on the show? I feel like we only had, like, two Chinese drag queens on the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
We have. You are.
Kim Chi
And Joella.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who else?
Monet X Change
But also, I personally love seeing, like, cultural looks on Drag Race because culture is not a custom, so we. We can't see anybody else do it. So even if queens is, like, not in touch with the culture, I love to see them, like, research it, get to know more about their culture, and then have a chance to, like, showcase those looks. Looks.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Like, I personally love that, so.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do too.
Kim Chi
But what's her name did a very Asian inspired look on the Runway. Lana Jarret.
Bob the Drag Queen
When?
Kim Chi
Today on this episode on the Runway.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was Asian inspired.
Kim Chi
You'll see it. You'll see it when you get there.
Monet X Change
I was gonna say, which one is she? I can't remember.
Kim Chi
The tall, skinny one.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Ad Voice
Lux.
Kim Chi
But stretched out. When we get to a whistle, I don't mind. I went too early. So, in fact, we're here. Let's look at the Runway. Is RuPaul wearing pads? It looks like she's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. It's an interesting dress. I mean, RuPaul normally has body on, and I've heard through the grapevine that he, like, he, like, RuPaul is like, I'm going to wear body, like, whatever.
Monet X Change
But, you know, RuPaul's on so many seasons. You know, if Sean's like, you know what? Fuck it. I'm just gonna wear a flowy dress and notepads. You know what? Who am I to judge?
Kim Chi
I mean, I'm not judging. She looks pretty good. This dress is not terribly form fitting. But, like, is Ru now one of the no padding girls?
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe. I wish she was. I wish she was one of these get my hair done girls. Because this wig was crazy.
Kim Chi
What's wrong with it? I'm not. It's so small. I don't remember looking at it too hard.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Monet X Change
It does look like it had, like, been in luggage and gotten a little flat.
Bob the Drag Queen
Literally. This is like this, like, she's on. She's on a show show. 38 of 40 of work the World Michelle looks.
Kim Chi
Michelle looks amazing. Can I say, one of the best times I ever had on Work the World was when we decided to bring a hairdresser on tour. I don't know why that was not being done every single time, every single
Monet X Change
wear, every single game, honestly.
Kim Chi
Oh, my God, y'.
Monet X Change
All.
Kim Chi
I'll say some.
Monet X Change
Some girls did take, like, advantage of it, where.
Kim Chi
Yes, they don't.
Monet X Change
They'll literally give, like, 10 wigs to the stylist. All of these. And then, yes, they'll just, like, take those wigs to their gigs and not even, like, tip the hairdresser.
Kim Chi
Yes, they did. Yes, they did, Kim.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I've only done work the role with it with the wig styles. But that was also the tour that the wig styles. One of the queens got into a fight and had to leave the tour at some point. And I was like, this is.
Kim Chi
Oh, girl. That wig styles was always fighting the queens. That wig styles got into probably the same queen got into in an epic showdown at Universal Studios. I mean, epic. Screaming. Yeah. Were you there for this cam?
Monet X Change
Oh, I was. Oh, I fully. I remember every detail because I was, like, so mad. So Bob and I. So there are half the people who drink and the other half who doesn't drink. And we were on, like, a guided tour where they could basically take us through all the rides, like, through the back. So we get to, like, go through all the rides. But all the drinkers wanted to get a drink after every single ride. So then all the non drinkers were literally, like, hanging around for 30 minutes waiting these people to, like, getting drunk. So then they're like, can we split the group in half? And they're like, yeah, we'd love to split the group for you. So the non drinkers can keep on going on the rides and the drinkers can, like, do things at their own pace. And then one queen's like, no, everybody wants to stay together. Why are you trying to split the group? I'm like, we're not even hanging out you guys are just getting drunk anyways.
Kim Chi
Yeah. And then. And then during the showdown, it was it, y'. All. I mean, one of the biggest fights I've ever seen that didn't actually come to blows. Like, it was disrupting the entire restaurant scream. We were in a private section, but still the whole restaurant was like, what is. Is happening in there?
Monet X Change
Yes. Oh, yes. I also remember that. Yep, yep. Yo, that's why I tell y'.
Kim Chi
All. I'm telling you right now, these producers are not making these. Any girl, who told you the producers make them fight. They're lying. Drag queens fight on their own, of their own. Even when cameras aren't around, the queens are fighting, I assure you. We should go into these looks, though.
Monet X Change
Okay. That was also the same day where I got called the N word by a drunk person. Do you remember that?
Kim Chi
I remember. I'm the one that told you. I'm the one that told you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Y' all. See, y' all let me say something. This season, ten girls and up. We are. We are nice and sweet and kind. These older.
Kim Chi
It wasn't a queen. It wasn't a queen that called it Kim the N word. But I went and I told Kim. I was like, this is what. This is what this person just said to you about you. He was like, don't tell her. Don't tell her, please. And I was like, no, no, I'm going directly to her. That was crazy. That was insane.
Monet X Change
And meanwhile, I was just, like, sitting there just, like, minding my own business, literally doing nothing.
Kim Chi
Monet literally just sitting there, like, either, like, drinking something, e something, or just walk, looking around, looking at her ticket. And I was like, what the fuck? I'm going to talk to Kim about what you just said. That was insane.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or let's go on to the running. Which category was. It was quilted. Quilted for the gods or something like that.
Kim Chi
Yeah, Quilted for your. Quilted for her pleasure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Quilted for her pleasure.
Kim Chi
So, okay, I think I've come to the conclusion that I don't think I appreciate Butthole's perspective on garments. Like, what am I looking at?
Monet X Change
Is this a cat lady one?
Kim Chi
No. Yeah, she's the couch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, wait, wait. Sorry, sorry. Kim, Jacob should probably send you the doc with. With the looks.
Monet X Change
I'm looking at the doc, but I. I still don't have. Like, I still can't tell the queens apart. Like, a lot of the queens.
Kim Chi
This is Lydia Butthole Collins, who was doing the. Who was doing. She was the cat. The cat. The couch. Oh, yeah, The Cat lady lets her cats.
Monet X Change
But, you know, this is actually one of my favorite looks, and I feel like the cat lady look, of course, has been done on, like, the main stage before, but, you know, like, cat lady representation matters, too.
Kim Chi
I get. I just don't. I don't. Maybe. Maybe this drag is too conceptual for me. What do you think, Monet? We need a tiebreaker.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that. I think that what I've struggled with Lydia before is I can't tell. I don't like the proportions of what she made. Like, that yellow thing. It was just a hodgepodge of mess where this. I like that we can see. Like, we can see her. Her waist section, obviously, her midsection.
Kim Chi
Now.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love that she is. I never. I've never seen a white person with this much body lotion or oil ever. This bitch is lubricated more than.
Kim Chi
Is it glitter?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I think it's lubricated. I think she's lubricated. I think it's lotion. She want to work or oil. So I like that. And I do think the. I didn't know what y'.
Ad Voice
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
I did not like it before, but now I know that she is a cat that scratched a couch. I was like, oh, that's why she doesn't have any hands, and that's why, like, the thing is spilling out. So I like it. It's not a. It's not a. A shoot, but it's. It's a toot for me. I like this outfit.
Monet X Change
I'll say, like, one thing I wish she did better was, like, a little more contrast in the outfit because, like, the cat just kind of, like, it's dark, so it just blends in with the background and then everything else.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's the cat? Where there's a cat on it.
Monet X Change
There's a cat on it. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I didn't. I didn't even see that.
Monet X Change
Like, I wish the cat was, like, a little. Or I wish there's, like, multiple cats on the outfit. Just, like, driving home the point instead of just like a cat.
Bob the Drag Queen
I also think, y', all, this is something that Drag Race needs to address or something now is this new stage. That's this sleek black thing. When girls wear black on the Runway, it loses so much definition. You can't, like, really see stuff before y'.
Ad Voice
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
If. Y'.
Ad Voice 2
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
If I remember this, it used to be a silver tee, so you can see more dimension when someone wears black. Now when you wear black, it just disappears on the stage.
Monet X Change
Yes.
Kim Chi
Also, when me and Kim were on Drag Race. The stage was literally a tee. There was no. There was negative space. If you fell off the stage, you would fall, like, four feet to the ground. But then directly after our season, they put in these platforms, and the girls are lip syncing all throughout the platform. They're walking around. We had to lip sync on the tee.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no, no. Season 10, they only put it for challenges. For season 10, we were still. We were also the tease as well, which is crazy.
Kim Chi
We were lip syncing on this little two strips.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Oh, you lip synced.
Kim Chi
Yeah, I did, Kim. I did. I did.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bitch. Gather that fucking.
Kim Chi
I've already gathered, Kim. Okay, let's gather that, honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's go to Alana Jarret. I thought her makeup was so beautiful. The colors on her eyes, doing the white eyebrows. I thought I. I thought the concept was beautiful. And I. I like this look from the shins up. I don't like the things on her shins or her legs.
Ad Voice
Ooh.
Bob the Drag Queen
They were weird to me. But everything else.
Kim Chi
This outfit. Not Sailor Moon. Am I crazy?
Bob the Drag Queen
Sailor Moon. It's.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it's kind of like a wrinkled Sailor Moon.
Kim Chi
Yeah, like, it's got, like, the thing. No, like, just quilts, but. No, but the.
Ad Voice
The.
Monet X Change
That.
Kim Chi
That thing Sailor Moon does with the. The school girl thingy. Yeah, she could be like, this is a really unique. So I was like, this is. Girl. This is cool. To Sailor Moon, I would say she
Monet X Change
looks very beautiful, but I think, like, her outfit is kind of like, I'm going to burning men. But I don't. I don't know if there was, like, a much concept to it. It.
Kim Chi
Yeah, I think that she.
Monet X Change
It's just, like, colors and wrinkles.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, she does look at the wrinkles. Re.
Kim Chi
She does look good, but I. I do think she thought she ate harder than she did. But she does look good, but I think. But how much of that is just that she happens to be very. Are you in a tornado? Is there earthquake where you are?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think.
Kim Chi
I think most of it. She happens to be really beautiful. And not that the outfit is, like, really giving all this, like. Like, fantasy. She. Sometimes when you're, like, really skinny and really pretty, it's really easy to make stuff look good. That's why I say if you're a skinny, pretty girl and you look bad, I don't know what the. You did.
Monet X Change
I feel like this, like, look is very, like, second number on a Wednesday night.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. Really? Y'?
Kim Chi
All?
Monet X Change
I. I mean, I like it, you know, but I like.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought the hair was cool. The makeup looked cool. I thought it was cool. The hair reminds me of that. Remember?
Ad Voice
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
You know that. That neon hair that Naomi did.
Ad Voice 2
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, the puffs, the palms, which it might be for something else, too. I just know it from Naomi.
Kim Chi
Let's go on to what I think will be the golden boot of the season. This entry, this.
Bob the Drag Queen
The fact that she got the email with the prompts for the runways she saw quilted, and she thought about this as her look to bring to Drag Race is insane. Insane to me. And why she is one of the most iconic queens, I think, that has ever been on RuPaul's Drag Race.
Kim Chi
I think she literally just went and bought a quilt. Like, she literally just bought an actual quilt.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is crazy.
Monet X Change
I mean, it's clearly sewn, and then, like, there's, like, structures in it to, like, keep this up. So obviously, someone actually spent time on this. But Also, like, the RuPaul, like, face on it is just a little too, like, kiss ass for me, you know? Like. Like, Drag Race is your time. So, like, why are you making your look about RuPaul and not you?
Bob the Drag Queen
And why is Rue cockeyed? Why is Rue looking at the camera like this?
Kim Chi
I'm screaming. I forget that you can make your eyes cockeyed. That's such a talent that I.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can't do that.
Kim Chi
No, I'll go all the time. My eyes look in the same direction. I think they can go in, but you can make one go in, which is insane.
Monet X Change
I mean, I'll say this, though, because Drag Race and how popular it's gotten, it is hard to get things made, like, from designers nowadays, because all the designers are pretty limited who can do it in a limited time. And then they all know what day you're leaving, and they know they can ask for whatever price, and you're gonna pay it because you wanna go on Drag Race. Mm.
Kim Chi
So, you know, as we say, to quote Alyssa Edwards, mama, this is garbage. And I think it would've been better if her face was poking out of
Bob the Drag Queen
the quilt instead of Rob, I saved this look.
Kim Chi
Well, let me finish. If her face is poking out, like, the quilt is like. Like, think Lady Gaga when she did art pop and her head was on that big blank thing. Instead of your face being behind it, your face is, like, in it. Right. And then if the quilt was, like, some. If it was wrapped around her body but not like a big quilt, but instead of being, like, a blank, like, a big rectangle, if it was somehow wrapped around her body in some Sort of a form fitting way, because she does. She does pad pretty well when she wears titties. So this look was. This look was just insane. Insane.
Monet X Change
I think this look could have been something. Had she, like, ripped a quilt up on stage and there was, like another look underneath it, I think that would have been cunt. You know, but to have justice look.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I thought a reveal was coming. Like, I thought there was. Oh, I was like, there's for sure reveal is coming. And then there was a reveal.
Kim Chi
The reveals. RuPaul girl. When. When this walked down the Runway and y' all thought it was real, y' all literally said, I pray for something. Cunt. We did the. The prayer of Lana Jarret. I pray for something. But we did not get. We got. This is actually cut in its own way, but in the most uniconic, in the most ironic way ever.
Monet X Change
It's taking nerve to wear this.
Kim Chi
You know, it's iconic, ironic. Let's move on to Arrieti and
Bob the Drag Queen
she's. I think this is a very fine, thin quilting fabric, but it doesn't give quilting. I think. I think Bianca has a video of her stitching something like this, and someone showed it on Twitter.
Kim Chi
And I think Bianca made her fat. Her dress.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no. Bianca, like, used the same fabric.
Kim Chi
Bianca made her dress. It's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bianca used the same fabric in something a few years ago, and this is a very, like, the thinnest. I mean, like, quilting, like a sheet of paper, it's not what you think of quilting. Like, a little heavier and thicker. So I think technically it is quilted, but it doesn't look it. I think it's a cool outfit. I like is the cats under it with this thing and the glass and, you know, I think it's like a nice outfit, but it just doesn't give. Quilted.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I think she looks extremely high fashion and she looks really good. But I don't know if it's like a look to where I'm going to be, like, inspired by or like, remember.
Kim Chi
Yeah. Sometimes when you go too out of the box, you end up missing the mark and you end up with something that's just. You try. It's just too out of the box. Let's move on to Jules Sparkles. This look is fine. I don't hate it. It looks perfectly fine to me.
Monet X Change
It's kind of like, like 2012, like, pop diva, like, music video look kind of.
Kim Chi
Yeah, a little bit.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Yeah, I can see. I can see Gaga wearing this in something a while. Ago.
Monet X Change
I feel like she's gonna perform like get this party started, you know?
Kim Chi
Yeah, very that. Let's move on to Harmona Lisa, who who is doing a nod that Monet has done on RuPaul's Drag Race before I did Monet. Did you watch the fucking. Yeah. This is her. She said this is her. Inspired by code of many colors.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I didn't even hear her say that. I like. I think this is good. I think. I think what would have been really cool is if the thing under it wasn't a leotard. If it was a catsuit, maybe like a fully full foot. Like it would be very like Richard Quinn vibes, you know what I mean? And feel like super one thing and it'd be more high fashion. But it just being a leotard underneath I think made this, this, the thing look cheap. Although it was quilted. Her mom quilted it for her. The coat, I love the coat. I just hate it. Reveals are just leotard.
Monet X Change
I would say like she looks good in this one, but to me, this is clothes, not necessarily fashion. But she does look good.
Kim Chi
I don't like this hair on her though. This. This was not the hair.
Bob the Drag Queen
Agree.
Kim Chi
The hair looks like she looks like the victory Worldwide. She's like a Hedwig in the Angry Inch or something.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah.
Monet X Change
I feel like with the styling this could have easily been some sort of like a concept, you know, like a country music star or something. But it's kind of like I'm just this outfit and quilt.
Kim Chi
Let's go on to Crystal envy everything. Wow.
Monet X Change
She looks just like Scarlet Envy here.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. No relation though ate this up. Her body looks incredible. The coat was dope. And then revealing it as cats so that it has cool to going up the sides of it. The hair was really cool. This was such a great fucking look. My only if I had to nitpick about something so tiny so minute will be as if her is if her whopper those whopper poppers. The snaps were the same colors of fabric because you know, to make them in almost every color that would have been nice. But other than that girl, everything. Yes.
Monet X Change
Sickening. Stunning.
Kim Chi
Yeah. I think this is the best look of the season so far.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I think about that. Oh, I think so.
Kim Chi
I mean I don't. I'm recalling everything but this. That look was really good.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I don't remember what the last episode.
Kim Chi
I can't.
Monet X Change
That's a very like deep compliment. I'm not going to say that yet, but I think she looks Amazing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Kim Chi
Let's go on to Susie Toot. And I do love. Okay. I don't know why Susie Toot doesn't. I'm no shade to your signature thing. I do not know why susie2 doesn't do her makeup like this all the time. Th. I did not know susie2 knew how to do makeup. That was not bad, for lack of a better word.
Monet X Change
Yeah, she looks beautiful. It's also not everyone. I don't know if it's like the Runway, but, like, the outfit just kind of, like, forgettable to me, mostly because it just blends into the background.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. You can't. You're not wrong, girl. With this new Runway, I'm telling you, dark colors. I. They. They had to revisit it the upcoming season. Dark colors just disappear. You can't see dimensional because it's so reflective in the colors. Like you. It's really hard to see. And also, they read the other girl for quilted. What the fuck was quilting on her outfit? It.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Kim Chi
Well, no, I mean, we're. We're going to read it. I'm g. I wrote it down, actually, because. Because. Because obviously, as you know, Carson Crley is like a fashion bible, and he knows every reference to everything ever. I mean, it's in my other notes. I'll get to in a second. Carson Kley said that it was a. Hold on, hold on. He said it was a.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Why do you do that? I'm gonna say, I think that Tramp art quilt. What does that mean? Tramp art quilt.
Kim Chi
It's a quilt. It's a specific kind of quilt from the 1930s called tramp art quilt.
Bob the Drag Queen
She got her fabric from the 30s, too. Jesus Christ.
Kim Chi
But I'm just saying. I want to go back and say, like, her makeup looks great. Like, the reason my makeup was bad on season eight, because I didn't know how to do better makeup. She knows how to do better makeup, and she's choosing not to do it. That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
And what is your excuse now?
Kim Chi
That wasn't even a good one. Anyway, should we move on?
Bob the Drag Queen
I was gonna say, I think that I was more so, like, I was, like, mesmerized by how pretty she looked. I think her makeup and, like, how beautiful she was able to make paint herself. I was, like, mesmerized by that. That I didn't even pay attention to the fact that her outfit, I mean, I can't, apparently, was some 1920s boop boop quilt that I've never fucking heard of. But I think her makeup Was so pretty. But I hate also that she still did that small lip. I'm like, bitch, give me a big. Give me a big mouth mouth.
Kim Chi
Did she do small loop?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Monet X Change
I guess not all of us are naturally blessed like Monet, you know, that's why I draw.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can literally make it up. You can make these lips as big as you want.
Kim Chi
Should we go on to Sam Star? I love this. This. I feel like this. This is kind of like a concept that we've. That we've seen a few times.
Monet X Change
Victor and Ralph, like, inspired,
Kim Chi
but I feel like I haven't seen one where the hair goes into the pillow like this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jada did it on her season for the finale or something.
Kim Chi
She did the hair into the pillow as well.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, she had a black wig, and it, like, went into the pillow.
Kim Chi
Oh, work then. We have seen it. I mean, but I mean, just because it's been done doesn't mean you can't do it again. She did it well. She honestly, legit looks great.
Monet X Change
She looks amazing. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think she was really cool. I think it's a cool take on a sleeping bag. It was cool.
Kim Chi
Let's go on to Acacia Forgot. Acacia forgot has her grandmother's doily and her mother's quilt. Like, she actually has family heirlooms in this garment. And honestly, she looks pretty good.
Monet X Change
Yeah, she looks good. I like it.
Kim Chi
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I like the hair. I think this outfit is cool. I don't like the sleeves of this dress, but I do love the structure of this dress. I think it's very flattering to the body.
Monet X Change
Love.
Bob the Drag Queen
She has this, like, old. Like, 19, I guess. I'm gonna guess it's from the 80s. Although I think a box like that is more from just more than, like, a 50s thing. And I love that she put the do in the hair. I think her hair and the dress are good. I hate the sleeves.
Monet X Change
Only thing I wish, like, that was done different was maybe she was wearing, like, a lace tights or something instead of just, like, bare leg with this look.
Bob the Drag Queen
That could be cool.
Kim Chi
She's not wearing fishnets.
Monet X Change
Fishnets. But, you know, I mean, instead of just, like, legs, I feel like she should have been, like, covered up.
Kim Chi
I had a pair of fishnets that. That, like, one pair. I don't think computers anymore. I haven't found them. That has a seam going down the back of the leg. I love those.
Bob the Drag Queen
They still make those black fishnets with the seam in the back.
Kim Chi
I need to give more. I fucking love.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're very sexy. They're very Sexy. Those. Those kind of fishnets. Let's go on to miss on ya nerve. I thought on your November looked beautiful. The only thing I was did not like was that you have this diagonal motif of the quilt going to the top and the bottom, and then at the bottom, you shrink yourself by having just it going horizontal. I think it was such an interesting choice not to not like, why shouldn't you keep that motif?
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Ad Voice
Yeah.
Kim Chi
And I think she should have adorned herself in more jewelry. Big bangles, big wooden jewelry. Yeah, like the. The bare arm. It needs some big, chunky wooden jewelry. Even in bright colors. Painted in bright colors on her arm, I think would look really nice with this.
Bob the Drag Queen
I agree.
Monet X Change
And her makeup looks really cool.
Kim Chi
Yeah, yeah. She is still doing that, like 2016 hard cheek, though. You remember that? 2016.
Bob the Drag Queen
All three of us used to do that cheek week.
Monet X Change
I mean, I still do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you?
Monet X Change
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I mean, I used to. Girl, I. Y', all, when I used to paint, I used. I literally used to get a pair of old tights. The box or the. The paper in the box. I would cut it from my cheek
Monet X Change
and I would go, like, I know I miss it.
Bob the Drag Queen
And have that, like, hard cheek. Like, Bob and I used to do that together.
Kim Chi
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I did on Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Kim Chi
Can we go on to. Lexi love, I.
Bob the Drag Queen
You will start this podcast with the computer unplugged. The last thing.
Kim Chi
Well, it was. It was doing well, but you drain it. Like when I'm by myself, it's you. When you get on my computer, it's. It's drained of power. It's. It. I under. I sympathize with this computer. I love this look. I love this look. This look is so cool to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought it was cool, too. I love. You know. You know Utica made this.
Monet X Change
Oh.
Kim Chi
Oh, I see that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I think she looks really cool. I thought. I think. I think Lexi also often also like these, like, skinny girls girl one day, like, they can just like, wear anything. And I'm always like, over, like, oh, my God, that looks really fierce. I think it looks really beautiful. I think she wasted the black stones on that thing. Let me tell you something. Blackstones are such a waste. When you like stone things of Blackstone, it is just. You're wasting your money and you're wasting time.
Monet X Change
I agree. It never shows up.
Bob the Drag Queen
Never.
Monet X Change
Also like rhinestone in general for television, unless it's encrusted, don't even bother because it does not show up on camera.
Bob the Drag Queen
It doesn't show up Here's a, here's
Kim Chi
the debate me and money used to have. Kim, what do you think? I think putting stones on top of sequins does not, does not make it pop more.
Monet X Change
No, absolutely not.
Bob the Drag Queen
For a stage. For a stage. If you put, if you like, if you put stones on a sequin, like, I wouldn't do it anymore, but I would love the little accent things. I would wear this because on stage, cuz sequins sparkles a little different on stage with stage lights. So that's why I would do it.
Kim Chi
I don't think it does that much, like, unless it's like the mesh cutouts in it and you stone on the mesh. But if you're just putting stones on top of sequins. I used to be like, what are you doing? When it was like, it's. I mean, she doesn't do anymore mo. Like, this is the only thing, honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, honestly, you're the only one doing it.
Monet X Change
When you're stoning a garment, mostly you're not necessarily stoning it for stage. You're stoning for the queen's backstage. It's like, oh, like all of this is stone. You know, like, but most audience, I don't even like know unless violence attack
Kim Chi
on pre sequined fabric.
Monet X Change
Yeah, she was like, she was like, I only do like custom sequin. And I'm like, yeah, well, so not everybody wants to spend like $10,000 on like one outfit.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, my girl, she is. That girl is so crazy.
Kim Chi
But also all she does is trap herself. Now she can never again be seen in a pre sequined fabric. All she's done is ruin the herself because now she can never again wear a pre sequin fabric. And who, what designer? How much has she limited the designers that she could work with because they refused. They're like, I'm not, I'm not about to fucking do no fucking sequins on fabric.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's go on to Ms. Corey King wearing this look. The hair needs to be bigger, the hand needs to be way bigger. Also, I love her in this color hair. Cory King has a. She's been wearing a lot in this season. Like that's like that like brassy blonde color. That's like a little hard. And I don't think it works nicely with her skin tone. But when she wears tones like this, with this dark color, she's done it a few times. It looks so beautiful on her. It softens her a bit more, you know, I don't love this outfit. I think the hair could have Been way bigger. It could have been like some on your nerves kind of hair. Like a frozen or, I don't know, not a throw. But it could have just bigger. I needed bigger. Big girl. I needed, like, some texture and just bigger. It was just looked like this. She had, like, a small, little thimble koofy on her head.
Kim Chi
Yeah. This outfit did not do her any favors. It is very poorly made. It is not great. This is not one of my favorite Corey King moments. And now think about it. I feel like Corey King hasn't had a lot of great Runway moments on the season. I'm thinking hard about this. Out of the four.
Monet X Change
Yeah. The tiny little thing on her head looks a little silly. Proportion. It looks a little off. I wish, like, the gloves were, like, even more, like, upper length.
Kim Chi
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, girl. Let me say something. That this type of glove needs to be abolished from every drag queen's wardrobe. Your gloves should never be this glow, girl. Always go full opera.
Kim Chi
King is big.
Bob the Drag Queen
That. That is not opera. Limp glove. I know exactly what size glove that is. The one that every girl goes at her man. Drag queen should never wear that glove. It should always be opera. Or if you're doing, like, a little Southern charm little look. Maybe the wrist.
Kim Chi
For a long time, I did not know thigh high boots were actually supposed to go to your thigh.
Monet X Change
We know.
Kim Chi
I had no clue, you know, because I've never.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've.
Kim Chi
I've only seen one or I've had. The only boots I have to go to my thigh are custom made bo boots. Boots. They just don't make it to my thigh. They just don't make it up there. You know, whenever girls with their boots go up to their, like, mid thigh, I'm like, oh, my God, that looks so good, Bob. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
You and I are the same size. I definitely. Please just make those thigh high boots.
Kim Chi
I'm four inches taller than you.
Bob the Drag Queen
But in your size, our legs are the same length. You have longer. You have a longer torso than me.
Kim Chi
You just made that up.
Bob the Drag Queen
You just.
Kim Chi
You're just making up proportions. Let's. So let's go on to the judges. So at this point, we realized that. So Lydia, Sam, Star, Lexi, Lana, Jules, Harmona, and Acacia are all safe. They're all safe. And if this won the competition, girl, you should be lucky. You're safe. Like, you want to at least make it a Snatch Game, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I agree. I think. And I think I had a good little idiom. A little phrase I said earlier about being safe, and I forgot. Oh, fortune Favors the same. Because you get to live and you get to fight another day for another thing, and that's good. I was never. I've never been the girl who was upset. I was safe. I'm happy. I'm. Except for All Stars 7, actually, I was a little annoyed. I was safe a lot.
Kim Chi
That's the same. People just kind of flip around. Because isn't saying supposed to be like, fortune favors the brave?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm saying, fortune favors are safe.
Kim Chi
Yeah. Fortune favors the young. To be honest, fortunate favors the rich. That's what really goes on. Okay, so Michelle says, explain the white nose to me.
Ad Voice
Me.
Kim Chi
And then she goes, I would never try to change you, which we know is not true, Michelle. If there's one thing Michelle will do, it will be to tell you to change the thing you're doing in drag. Like, we. We all know this for a fact, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Although Don tweeted, which we may talk about when we talk about later. Dawn. Don tweeted about this, and I was like, oh, actually, that's really a different perspective. No one has offered it yet.
Kim Chi
Well, I guess we'll talk about it in. In the Untucked exclusive.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Kim Chi
How do y' all feel about the white nose? I think sometimes it doesn't work. Like, in her promo look, it looks so good. There are times where I'm like. Like a few episodes ago, I really is just taking me out of the. And I think what it is, because the rest of her makeup, that episode was such a just standard beauty, and the nose was such a specific thing. It just. It took me out of the moment for some reason.
Monet X Change
I don't mind her signature because I think it's done well. I don't care whatever you do as long as, like, you do it well. And I think she does it well, and if she likes it, that's cool. Only thing I, like, feel bad for her is because now Michelle set this on tv and these, like, fans who basically, their opinion is like, whatever the judges say. So whenever Arietta posts any picture or they see, like, any, like, post over on social media, they're gonna be like, oh, she's doing that nose again. And this is probably going to hunt her for the rest of her drag career. And I hope she continues to the nose, because, you know, I think it's cool, and if she likes it, that's cool. But she's gonna have to deal with that because it became a thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Now, I don't mind the white nose. I just don't like the white. When it goes like that crazy V. Sometimes I think it works. But in the design challenge last week, when she did it like, it was narrower, it was still white and like, you know, clown white. But I don't always love the V thing. But, you know, it's her thing. And she probably don't like what I do with my makeup either.
Monet X Change
So I wasn't.
Kim Chi
I think all four of us have been the victim of something being said about the way we do drag on tv. And it does not matter how much you improve. It does not matter. I will always be ratchet it. Kim Chi will never know how to walk in heels. And Monet will always wear kitty cat wigs. It doesn't matter if. If Kim is Naomi Campbell's level walking, if Monet wears a wig bigger than Lady Bunny, and if I am the most opulent high end thing, once it's on, once it is said on tv. That is just who you are now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Kim Chi
You know, I so Carson grossly said this a tramp art quilt and that it just feels like such a specific. He really. He really knows a lot. Like, I'm always. I am constantly impressed by his ability to pull things out of his bag of knowledge.
Bob the Drag Queen
But Bob, I'll do some research.
Monet X Change
That's a common knowledge. Like, we all knew what trim quilt is. It's like when you take like pieces from like an old clothing and then repurpose it. Like, Monet knew about it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't know about it.
Kim Chi
Everyone knew. So they were living for on your nerve. On your nerve was like they were like obsessed with on your nerves moment. And the reason why they're laughing because we. We already recorded this and they found out on the air and now they're acting like they knew, but the recording got lost and nobody act like they knew what tramp cart was.
Monet X Change
Well, Bob seems like making up facts now. That's crazy, right, Monae?
Kim Chi
Yeah, Bob. Wow.
Bob the Drag Queen
Alternative facts. You're really leaning into the Trump era. I'll let you all at home judge
Kim Chi
what you think is real.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Anya nerve killed it. I thought this was so well done. I was.
Kim Chi
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought that like watching the tv, I was like. I was literally smiling watching her performing. Cause just.
Monet X Change
She just.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was just so exuberant and Horatia and her voice was so good, which she did not brand herself as a musician coming into this and her meet the queens or anything. So it's kind of like a reality,
Kim Chi
you know who the real musician is?
Bob the Drag Queen
Acacia forgot.
Kim Chi
And a real musician, according to Acacia Forgot has never won RuPaul's Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
And in case you forgot, I forgot that she's a singer. I think it's a nice little welcome surprise we're getting from Anya. And I'm obsessed with her. Her talent as a singer. She said she's great.
Kim Chi
I mean, I. I think. Okay. I think the Onioner was the best by a mile. Like, it wasn't even close. This performance was so good. It was. It was amazing. What'd you think, Cam?
Monet X Change
It was really great. Yeah. With that being said, I gotta pay respect to our musician winners like Jinx Monsoon, Violet Chachki.
Kim Chi
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mistress Violet. Yes.
Kim Chi
Betty Mishra's Violence that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait. Miss Fame sings.
Kim Chi
Miss Fame had a whole album.
Bob the Drag Queen
Miss Fame. The fast you don't know about song.
Commercial Announcer
Yeah.
Kim Chi
Untouchable. Shout out, Shout out, Shout out. Honey. So I feel so bad because Corey looks so defeated during her judging. She looks like she's having a bad day. And the thing is, when you are looking bad and you're feeling bad, and they're saying bad things about you, and the camera just keeps cutting back to
Bob the Drag Queen
you, and you're just like, girl, I have. I have two of those in Drag Race. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. But nothing's worse than being at the bottom twice in a row. I was at the bottom twice in a row. And that. And when I tell you that is the lowest I felt, and I've been called a fe. Jamaican bitch when I was in fourth grade on the playground, that being in the bottom twice in a row felt lower than that to me.
Kim Chi
Wait, was it twice in a row? Like, was it the second one when you went home, or was it back to back?
Bob the Drag Queen
You won back to back. I won. But that must have felt nice. Yeah. But before I was like, oh, I'm going home. Like, this was Pound the alarm then, man. I feel like I went with Mayhem Miller. And before I did a listen with Mayhem in Untucked, I looked the saddest. I think I would have listened.
Monet X Change
That's crazy. I don't know. You do it, girl. No.
Kim Chi
Being in the bottom on Drag Race, y', all, it stinks. It really. It's. It's genuinely not fun. Even if you're not lip syncing, just being, like, told that you're not. That if you're in the. If you're not in the same group and you're clearly not in the top, you are, like, sweating this. Someone said, and it's true. When RuPaul says lip sync for your life, it feels like life and death there.
Bob the Drag Queen
It really does.
Kim Chi
It must feel different. Go back to All Stars, though, right? It must feel lighter and easier. Right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, especially when no one went home. All Stars 7. I was like, oh, whatever. We can do bad. Who cares?
Kim Chi
But I mean, the week. But before that, the second time, it must have felt a little. Not as bad.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It felt not as bad. I don't remember. I was only in the bottom once in All Stars 4. And I don't remember, to be honest,
Kim Chi
because, like, when you're on All Stars, everyone's biggest fear has already come true. Well, not everyone, but most people there have already gone home, did the whole goodbyes and everything. A lot of people make it to the top, but don't get sent home, per se. But a lot of people are like, well, my biggest fear has already come true, so once you live through it, it can't be that bad, actually. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. But it seems. People seem to take it, take it easier on all sorts. Except for what's her name? But she had never gone home before.
Ad Voice 2
Who?
Kim Chi
Pangina. But she had never gone home before.
Bob the Drag Queen
She went from being a host to just being a contestant on the show.
Kim Chi
I mean, she's one of the only. That's not true. I was about to make up a. I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
She want only host one.
Kim Chi
I was like, she's the only host who was never a competitor on Drag Race. But there are some people who do it. But they. But they are. But she is a drag queen. And the other ones are like, people who get put in drag to host the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, the bitch from Italy.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. Meanwhile, did I ever tell you I got asked, I got an email from, like, Korea's Drag Race. And so, you know, I'm like, oh, my God, am I about to be, like, the RuPaul of Korea? And I'm like, like, shaking, shivering. Open up the email and then it says, we'd like you to come compete on Korea's Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
And then they also, like, sent, like, list of, like, judges they had lined up. And these are, like, actresses that are like. Has been. That are like, is it Drag Race
Kim Chi
Korea or a different. Different company?
Monet X Change
It was like, a company that was, like, producing or trying to produce, like, Korea's Drag Race.
Kim Chi
Oh, but it wasn't like, Drag Race Korea.
Monet X Change
Yeah, yeah. So then it was just, like, just, like, washed up, like, actresses that are. Aren't even, like, queer or, like, in the LGBTQIA community. So I'm like, I'm not about to go on the show and then, like. Yeah. And be judged by, like, bunch of, like, people that don't even know drag, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Hell no.
Bob the Drag Queen
That sounds horrible.
Kim Chi
Yeah, we've already done that once. We've already gone through that once. So RuPaul wastes no time telling Joella she's in the bottom off the bat. Joella, sorry, made you in the bottom. Then she turns regular Anya. She goes, and you win. And now she makes the other girl sweat. Right? So she's making Arrietty and not Plane Jane Corey King sweat. And we find out that it is indeed Cory King in the bottom. And I think this bottom two is correct. What do y' all think?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's. There's. I couldn't see anyone else being in there. Corey King and Joella. This is. Honestly, this is the most accurate judging we've seen on Drag Grace in a long time. Like, I agree with everything RuPaul done had been done said this episode.
Kim Chi
I agree. And to no one's surprise, Corey King. First of all, every time the camera cuts back over to Joella, this, The fucking mattress is like, getting floppier. And it's sending me. Because she just keeps getting sadder and sadder. And it starts up here, but then by the time it's done, like, half her face, you can just see her nose. She looks. Looks like she's having the worst day ever.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because what I had heard is that, you know, she doesn't revealing this. So apparently she was up there holding it with her hands up the whole time. That's why she was holding it up.
Kim Chi
Criminal. I would have grabbed two sticks or something.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, boss, you're gonna find two sticks.
Kim Chi
Yeah, brooms. Every broom has a stick attached to it. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't. It's not the. It's holding something like this, for.
Kim Chi
I would have held the sticks like this.
Bob the Drag Queen
This.
Kim Chi
Put him in the corners and then
Bob the Drag Queen
you reveal then what on stage.
Kim Chi
Then I. I start taking the broomsticks. I hit him with a
Monet X Change
just like heart, like. Exactly.
Kim Chi
So to no one's shock or. Or surprise or awe, I keep going to call her Plain Jane. Corey King sends Joella home. Um, and I want to say too, I. I think that the. The chocolate and the levers just let the girls go home. Just let them go home. And if someone's gonna stay behind, give them that fucking. That what's her name, that fucking candy Muse. You get to stay, give them that. That Alyssa Edwards versus Tatiana. You get to Stay. Give them that. Roxxxy Andrews versus Edwards. You get to stay. Like, just. Just make it, like, fun. Like, I've just decided, but, like, let these girls leave.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's easy for you to say, Bob. The knowing that you have a moment to say. I think I would hold onto that. Like, that I would have liked the opportunity to know that maybe I could have done a last ditch thing for me to say.
Monet X Change
Okay, so this is, like, my thought when I was, like, watching this. After the girls get eliminated, how long do they wait for Michelle to go change into the bathing suit and go up there?
Kim Chi
I was thinking about that too, because her hair is different. They have to put those levers on the stage.
Monet X Change
And Michelle's not someone that can just, like, all right, guys, I'm ready to go. You know, like, she's. She's gonna make sure she looks right. You know, before.
Kim Chi
Yeah, like, I was. I was thinking about it too. What is the. What. How long does it take to reset?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, doesn't it happen when they go to untucked? I think it happens when they go to untucked, but then there.
Monet X Change
But isn't Michelle, like, watching the lip sync, though, like, in a different outfit?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah.
Monet X Change
So then after the lip sync, then she's, like, changed and then up on that little.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Kim Chi
It's kind of gaggy. But on her way out the door, she says, at least I didn't. At least I didn't die a local girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
And the local girls did not like that girl. Twitter was ablaze this week. Joella had to issue an apology.
Monet X Change
I can't believe you still use Twitter. That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. I don't use Twitter.
Kim Chi
I feel like when I. Well, that's not true. We can show the receipts. I feel like, like, Monique, your tweets are literally there. People can go look right now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where. No, they're not, because they're gone.
Kim Chi
Okay, sure. I'll be reposting them before you delete your account tonight. So people. So people can't see you post dated this. Look at what they grabbing her phone. When I. When I was a local girl, I don't remember being that hurt by this.
Monet X Change
I. I was not. But also, like, I've been doing drag for so little. But also there are, like, queens that's been doing drag for, like, 20 years that's been, like, holding up their, like, local scene. Like, usually gets, like, really offended by it. Have you ever done a gig where you, like, go to a show, and this queen has been, like, a showrunner there for, like, 30 years, and then she acts like she doesn't know who you are, and, like, what was your name? What season were you on?
Kim Chi
Okay. I would say there was a queen who's working at Bebop who'd be like, I never watched the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know who you are.
Monet X Change
And then she's like, give it up for, like, the. The funniest comedian of season eight. Give it up for Bob the Drag Queen. It's like, oh, so you know who we are, Literally.
Kim Chi
And then. And then on the way out the door, like, she's like, I love. I love when you yelled at Derrick Barry.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, she's crazy.

Bob the Drag Queen

Monet X Change
It's really too soon to tell for me, but I really like Arietti. You know, I know. I don't know if that's, like, a grave yet controversial opinion, but I think. I think. I think she's cool. I like. I like Lexi Love.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. Lexi Love, too. I like her vibe. I. I would say between Lexi and
Kim Chi
