Acacia Collins faces criticism for her performance, which lacked the camp and energy expected in a Rusical. The hosts feel she failed to elevate her role beyond earnestness, resulting in a lackluster presentation.

Bob the Drag Queen ([37:33]):

"Sam did a very good job, and Acacia gave herself the worst role."

"The gold accents look really regal and rich. Her white hair was so striking."

Bob the Drag Queen ([43:56]):

"My favorite look of the night."

Monét X Change ([43:58]):

"She looks incredible."

Lydia Butthole Collins

Lydia's understated and shapeless dress receives mixed reviews. While her overall look is deemed acceptable, the hosts feel her performance did not stand out.

Monét X Change ([53:39]):

Monét and Bob explore the interpersonal dynamics among the contestants, particularly focusing on Corey King and Arrietty, whose budding romance adds an extra layer of intrigue to the show. They humorously debate the feasibility of relationships forming during the competition, considering the constraints imposed by production.

Monét X Change ([25:00]):

"Apparently after the show, they really started dating."

Bob the Drag Queen ([25:23]):

C17.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, wait, before we get started, season 17. This is called wig glue. I don't know why y'all don't have this. I use a Krylon Mastix P. Well.

[Monet X Change]

You know, these new age girls love doing the Got2B thing. These new age girls love a Got2B glued for a wig.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I recommend. Listen, you can't all be plastique tiara. You can't all glue your wigs down with hopes, dreams and hairspray. This will keep your wig on. That wasn't even a big wig. None of the wigs that have fallen have been big wigs.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Alana's wasn't big wig. Also Bob, y'all. So Bob the drag queen came to my birthday the other day and had the nerve to be dressed fully armed. Bob is wearing this shit, this fucking sweaty hat on and the matching pants. You could not sit next to Bob. You could not hug Bob. This nigga was as prickly as his disposition.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what of it?

[Monet X Change]

That shit was crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what of it?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, well, Kourtney King blames. She said her wig came off because she was drunk.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ok. So does alcohol deactivate glue? Apparently no. Your wig came off later. It's neutralize professional. Now let's get into the episode. Honey, Crystal has just gone home. The girls are gagging. Everyone's like gagged. To be honest, I'm not. I always say it's going be Crystal or Sam and Sam's going to be the one to go the distance. That's what I've always said.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, I'm not gagging, but I didn't think she'd go home this early though, cuz Crystal has been doing pretty well. She, she, she hasn't been in the bottom. She's been doing a, a decent job. So it was like kind of that she went home so early. I think so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you think Lana should have gone home?

[Monet X Change]

You know, I would be lying if I said I think la. If I see Lana willing rupaul Drag Race. If I. If I'm being very honest, love Lana as a.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not about winning. It's about, like, when girls. When you think they go home. I don't think anyone thinks Lana's gonna win. Except. Except maybe you. You. I did. I don't anymore. The only one thing you're gonna win is Lux. London Noir. She thinks that Anya. She thinks Lana's about to host the show. She thinks she. She thinks that Lonna about to host Drag Race.

[Monet X Change]

Noir, London. I. At this point, it's offensive.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what are. And what are you and her gonna do about it? I don't care who going to check me. Look. Oh, Lux, Lux, London Noir. Lux.

[Monet X Change]

The House of London. Noir Lux. They will get you, girl. They will come. They will come. They will come get you next. You see how she. How she gathered plain Jan on the Internet?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. They'll give me all £150 of them combined. Will gather me. Susie said that she's not shaken by her performance. She's shaken by the critiques of her performance. Susie's like, it was not my performance. It's that you, you idiots can't see. I'm still shook by that. She, she. She cannot concede that her performance was not good.

[Monet X Change]

Susie Toot is kind of like any argument I've. I've ever had with Bob the Dragon on Sim rivalry. This is. This is. This is how I feel. I feel like. I feel like you're Susie and the rest of us is me. This is how I feel arguing with you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're the front runner, and you are the basic bitches in the back.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, so you say. Are you calling yourself a basic bitch in the back?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I'm the front runner. You're a basic bitch in the back. No, you are.

[Monet X Change]

Open your ears in this alternate reality where. Anyway, anyway, whatever.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're not trying to build the Monet multiverse, ok? All I'm saying is you're basic.

[Monet X Change]

Do you want to compliment me how beautiful I look today?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You look stunning. RuPaul enters the workroom. Right, Susie, hey, stop being rude. And Susie is feeling very confident. First of all, Susie's like, I'm about to be back with a fire. And then she was like, once. RuPaul announces a rusical. Susie's like, and your bitch is about to get eaten up again.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know what? It is like, I mean, I know, Austin, there are, at this point, we have just archetypes on Drag Race, right? Like the theater girl who wants to be good at all the Funny things and all the singing things and the Snatch Game and the rusical. Like she's falling into this archetype, which I'm like, get it. Have we ever had a black theater girl? Why the theater girl is always white?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

On your nerve is a theater girl.

[Monet X Change]

Is she. Is she a theater girl?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was one of the first things she said. I love musical theater. I'm from musical theater. We watched it together. She said in the Meet the Queens. There's also a really great video on youn Nerve singing maybe this time from Cabaret. She sounds amazing.

[Monet X Change]

Really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Send me the link.

[Monet X Change]

Lick me, lick me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She sounds absolutely amazing.

[Monet X Change]

That's a great song.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she sounds. I mean, y'all, I'm gonna play a little bit. Y'all. I know. I know y'all love when we play music into the microphone.

[Monet X Change]

Well, literally. J right here. Jay, about to mute your mic. You.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You.

[Monet X Change]

We have to get you about to press play. Your shit gonna be all the way muted.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I can send Jay the link and then Jay can. Don't put the whole thing. Just do a small. A small bit. But she sounds really, really fucking good. Listen. So nobody love me Lady Peaceful. Anyway, you get it. She has a beautiful voice.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Yeah, she really does. And people try to clock me to pit stop. They were like. Cause in this I was saying, oh, I didn't expect her to sing this well. And yes, I forgot she sang in the other thing that she's really good at. I forgot pursue me. But that is not. Anyway. Which we'll get to that later. But, yeah. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful voice.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Beautiful gowns. Gorgeous gowns.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I was gonna say. Yeah. So they all. So it is a rusical. And off face value. Bob, who did you think was gonna be like. Just knowing it was a rusical. Were you expecting Susie to do well?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I expected to do well, but I expected Anya to win.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Before.

[Monet X Change]

Before you saw. Maybe this time just off of what you saw in the competition so far.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. From hearing her sing before. And also she said she's a theater person. I mean, I'm a theater person. I'm not like a. Yeah, I'm not like a Blair St. Clair Jinx monsoon. Susie Toot theater person. But I am a. I am a. Yeah. I'm not a Jan. Sport. But I am a theater fan, though. I'm. I am a theater. I wouldn't necessarily. If. If I'm in a category, I would not be called a musical theater queen, but I am a queen and I really love musical theater.

[Monet X Change]

Got him. You know, I'm not a music theater girly at all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But anyway, so they're doing a take on Wicked wizard of Oz and the Wiz all rolled into one. And then we actually get there and we realize that it's actually Wicked. The wizard of Oz, the Wiz by.

[Monet X Change]

Way of Chorus Line with a little Witches of Eastwick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's Witches of Eastwick again?

[Monet X Change]

The Cher movie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I never seen that movie.

[Monet X Change]

I never seen it either. But everybody I sent on Pitstop. I didn't know everyone was like, you fucking uneducated, fucking dumb Brooklyn bitch. You never heard of the Witches of Eastwick? Dumb on it. That's why Cher is there. Like, do yourself us some favor and get some knowledge. You fucking uncultured.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You really be over exaggerating the comment. This is. By the way, this is a perfect example of. Of Mona Ex. You dumb Brooklyn who knows nothing. That's how you retell every story that involves me.

[Monet X Change]

It was me that said it to her last night. That's what. And Jay said everything I just said verbatim.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And you deserved it. So Sam, Susie, and Acacia all want to be Kansas Dorothy.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And they go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

Which, I mean, we'll see in the thing. But I don't know what they read in the script or. Cause they were listening as well. So I guess it sounded exciting, but that did not sound like the most exciting role. Like, when people clamor for something that doesn't even seem that exciting. I'm like, are you just going off of it because of the name? Cause you're like, oh, Dorothy. Kansas Dorothy. Like, it's a familiar thing, so we can go with it. But like, in context of everything else, it does not sound that exciting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It wasn't even a big role.

[Monet X Change]

I know. I don't. I think that it just feels like the titular character, the titular role to like, oh, I want that, you know?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. But Susie, no. Sam backs off pretty quickly because she's like, I need to be out there and be. I don't know. She. She's in her goofy era, I guess. I don't know. And then Susie's like, I'm not fucking backing down. I'm not backing down. Then all the girls were like, well, Susie, we don't want it to be you. These girls are over. I mean, they've. It seems like they have never really liked Susie, but baby, at this point in the competition, they are over Suzanne Tooth.

[Monet X Change]

Which is weird because I think it's a combination of her having two wins, but also her personality, because Anya nerves Has two wins, but the people aren't coming for her. But Susie is rubbing everyone the wrong way because it's that like elitist is a strong word, but it definitely does come a little high flute and like y'all bitches are my sons and you need to respect me. You know what I mean? That's where it comes off.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are they her sons?

[Monet X Change]

No, I don't think so. She was doing the best in competition for a while. But I think on your nerves is doing. On your nerves. On your nerve. One single nerve is doing the best on the competition.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, on your nerve. One nerve. Jewels sparkles. Two jewels. They both sparkle. And yeah. So I feel like when it comes to. So Susie was like, well, you shouldn't do this because I think that you got read for being understated and being muted and blah blah, blah. So therefore you should. So you shouldn't do it. And then girl Acacia has had it. Susie goes, have fun. And she goes, what'd you say? I was like, acacia about to knock. If you buck. It was.

[Monet X Change]

But I mean it was pretty crazy for Susie to be like, well, you're dusty, you're ugly, your hairlines and even your wigs are ugly so that you shouldn't do that role. I was like, she didn't ask for all of that. You don't have to give all of that to. To tell her why she shouldn't get the role. That was a little, that was a little wild.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Especially when she goes, have fun. She was like, I mean she was like. She basically said, you're going to fail. I mean she was right. But she, but she. I don't know if she need to say it, you know.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then Sam decided that she wants to. That she doesn't want to take it. She wants to come out of her shell. So she's going to be the wicked witch of east whatever. East Wick and do. Which is shared.

[Monet X Change]

Yes. And yeah, go ahead.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also this line killed me. Susie is like a fucking 98 year old washed up theater nerd. That's literally your brand. Acacia has had it. Susie is like a fucking 98 year old washed up theater nerd. Gathered. Gathered by. But gathered by the finger wave wig.

[Monet X Change]

The girls have been throughout the majority, maybe not the majority, but often throughout the season. Acacia is often being put down by by the other girls and often being like underplayed and kind of. Akasha has been like the one. Everyone has kind of been like, ugh, you're whack. You know, whatever, you're corny. You're ugly. You're always ugly. So I think she really has had it officially, to quote Detox.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So everyone, everyone decides, everyone decides that Acacia should be Kansas Dorothy. And I think I, I, I don't think they all think that she'd be better. I think they just don't want Susie to have it.

[Monet X Change]

I think so too. But also, I don't want to talk about the critique of the thing. We'll get to that later.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But yeah, so Jules and Corey both want to be the good witch. Let me say this right now. There is not a chance on God's green earth you would have convinced me to play a flying monkey on international television.

[Monet X Change]

Well, and she played, remember the last sketch? She played a Neanderthal.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I would have been like, I would have not been like, I'm about to be the fly. I would be like, yeah, I'm not being a flying monkey. I don't know what y'all gonna do. I don't know how you're gonna figure it out. I'll be any role. I'm not being a flying monkey. Also monkey number two. Like now listen, granted when I was in high school, I was the funky monkey in the Wiz, but I went to a black high school, so he's all black. I ain't gonna be around a bunch of white folks being the monkey. This is crazy. Would you have done that?

[Monet X Change]

No, I would not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I, I don't think I.

[Monet X Change]

Feel as strongly as you, you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So they got the character. But I said, well, I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

If I feel as strong as you. I, I, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it just off of principle because the monkey roll. I would have done it because I mean, it looks like one of those roles. Like it looks like a filler role. It doesn't look like a role that's special. So that's why I wouldn't want to go for it. Maybe there is a way to you and your teammate team up to make the Monkees like the star of the show and steal the scene to win the challenge. But it just doesn't seem special. Why would you want that role?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, it's also, of the two monkey roles, it was the least role and she was like literally standing behind. We'll get there, we'll get there. But anyway, Cory ends up playing one of the flying monkeys.

[Monet X Change]

Uh huh. And then on your nerves gets to be, she wants to be Harlem Dorothy, which I think honestly it's the role I would have went for. It's the role I would have. I would have fought too. Me Ani would have been scrapping for that role. Cause that's the role I would have wanted 100%.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well then another one of other black girls wanted. Lana didn't want it. Corey didn't want it. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, would you gag? What, what did you gag as Susie was like, I think that I should be harling Dorothy at this point.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That would not gag me. I'd be like, yeah, that sound like Susie. Y'all know in the Wiz, Dorothy's not actually from Harlem. That is something they did for the movie. Like if you actually watch the music, I would say the musical, the stage play, the Wiz is hot Take is actually not a very good show. It's mad cheesy. It's mad cheesy.

[Monet X Change]

Well, let's be from Kansas. She's not from Harlem in the future.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying. In the Wiz, the stage play of the Wiz, she's from Kansas too. And she's still a 16 year old girl. She's not. They just changed. They made her a teacher from Harlem. Out of nowhere.

[Monet X Change]

It'S got affairs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, she was in her. I think she was in her 40s when she played the role, so she couldn't be 16, obviously.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, movie magic. Worst things. Stranger things have happened, honestly, on film.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So they go into rehearsals to recording, right? Michelle thinks that Lana, Michelle shows up to Lana, she said, you're lucky to be here. Straight up, she's like, she's like, I finally found my voice. Eight weeks later, Michelle said, you're lucky, bitch. That's gaggy.

[Monet X Change]

It was gaggy. I think in these like on stage recording session with Michelle. I mean, I just, again, this is a TV show. It's a. This is a challenge. Like, I get it. But like if you don't sing and you have to like sing on a session, like, I feel weird judging people who aren't singers in this type of thing. Like if you're not a singer, not a singer, like, you know, I don't have to be a good singer. You know what I mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, we judge the dancers and the comedy people, and they're not good at comedy. You and I just judged the shit outta Lana Del Rey. I mean, not Lana Del Rey, Lana Jarret for not being good at comedy. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

True, true. So I guess the only way to be fair to Drag Race is to be good at everything.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, you just have to be good at enough things. You don't have to have a perfect score. You just have to have the best grades. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think that. I actually think that she did a good job. And when Corey called Michelle Track 9, that sent me to the moon, that is. So I'm here with Ms. Track with track nine.

[Monet X Change]

I'm surprised they kept that in. That was really cutsy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know? To those who don't know, Michelle Visage is on the Bodyguard soundtrack. And her. She's track nine. So she started calling her. Well, she called her track nine that sent me to the moon. I feel like we have to all start calling Michelle Track 9. Hey, what's up? Track 9.

[Monet X Change]

Best scenes offensive of Mean Spirited.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what of it? She called me Ratchet on national tv, on international television. It's her turn.

[Monet X Change]

Did you get her to apologize?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no, I. I've never asked for an apology. Quite frankly.

[Monet X Change]

A lot of money.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What?

[Monet X Change]

I said track nine probably made her a lot of money.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I'm sure. Track 9 wrote in the. The.

[Monet X Change]

The.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The. The the dollars, honey. Well, apparently, I think that this. Back when she was under, that bad deal. I don't know. Anyway.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, well, they see, girl. We see Acacia's recording session, and it is uncomfortable to watch for me only because, like, she's branded herself as a singing queen and she's, like, singing out of tune and she's having a hard time, and I personally feel uncomfortable watching.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Was not great. I mean, I wasn't as uncomfortable. You were really uncomfortable with bad singing. I mean, it's like, oh, this isn't great. But, I mean, I wasn't like, ooh. I was just like, oh, not great. But I guess we'll just. We'll move on. We see people be bad as stuff on Drag Race all the time, you know?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I guess we're just like, oof, oof.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Corey King cannot sing.

[Monet X Change]

A lot of people cannot sing, and that's fine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I can't sing.

[Monet X Change]

You say again?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I said I can't sing.

[Monet X Change]

You can hold a tune, though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I mean, like I always say, if I sing a song, I think you.

[Monet X Change]

Can hold a tune.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If I. I don't need a gun to my head to hold a tune. To be clear, gun to head is crazy. Gun to head. I think that if I sing a song, even if I hum a tune, you will recognize the song. I'm not tone deaf. You know what I mean? If I go, like, you know, but. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But. But I wouldn't be. But I'm not. Like, I wouldn't. I wouldn't do what Acacia is doing, being like, I'm that girl. Look at that horse. Look at that horse. Look at that horse. You know? But also, when Susie gets up there, she's doing well. They ask Acacia, what do you think about Susie? And she goes, I don't even want to talk about it. Like, she is so over Suzanne Tooth.

[Monet X Change]

Rightfully so, girl. Cause Susie's a little. Susie really turned the tide on this season. The people are really getting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyway, she getting that little villain edit, honey. A little bit of villain, right?

[Monet X Change]

Okay. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, no, for sure. Anything else in the recording session that stuck out to you?

[Monet X Change]

No, I think Anya's killing it, as predicted, as we thought. And, I mean, she's great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Michelle was living for Anya nerve. She was like, you're the one you want.

[Monet X Change]

It's you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's you. You know how much that would hurt my feelings if I was the case? She forgot. And she was like, ew, gross.

[Monet X Change]

Ew.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're disgusting. And, you know, she was like, what you know, you know that, that Jiff and Michelle doing this.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So at rehearsals, Jules is a little awkward with her moves and the girls are laughing at her while she's trying to dance. And it is affecting her self esteem.

[Monet X Change]

Girl, I don't let these. Like, who, like, who cares? I'm like, okay, whatever. I can sh. A rehearsal, like, doesn't mean anything. But I mean, it kind of does mean something because we'll get to that. But like, Anya is struggling to learn it in rehearsal and that ends up being a critique, a point against her later on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyway, it was odd. It was a very odd critique. You didn't get it right away.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, I'm not fucking Paula Abdul, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I will practice.

[Monet X Change]

I'll get there.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can you name me Paul Abdul songs? What's your favorite Paula Joe song?

[Monet X Change]

Did he really want to look me together? Oh, oh, oh. Hit and Run. Well, what's the one?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it's called Straight Up.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, what's one with the cat?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Two steps forward, one step back. We come together. Cause opposites are tracking. You know it ain't fiction just a natural fact. We come together. Cause I busit's attract. And his name was Scat Cat or Big Bad Cat. What's his name? Scat. Big Bad. The cat's name is what's name.

[Monet X Change]

You're right. DJ Scat Cat.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

DJ Scat Cat. There was a musical years ago called A Straight Up Vampire that I saw at Joe's Pub, which is a vampire like hunting movie. I mean, a vampire hunting musical set to Paul Abdul music called Straight Up Vampire.

[Monet X Change]

Can I tell you? I hate, I hate a jukebox musical. I hate, I hate. I'm like. Just make original music. I hate a jukebox musical.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hot take.

[Monet X Change]

Do you like, you like, you like jukebox musicals?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Some of them, yeah. I like. I like. Ain't too Proud. I thought it was really, really good.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I didn't see Ain't Too proud. Okay, let me say this. All the juke box. All of the jukebox musicals I've seen, I don't. I didn't like them. Any of them.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Which ones have you seen?

[Monet X Change]

And Juliet. Moulin Rouge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Moulin Rouge is not a good musical.

[Monet X Change]

Right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is bad. And I'm talking about.

[Monet X Change]

I'm talking about the talent, like the, the singer.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, whatever. Talent. The stage play.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Moulin Rouge on Broadway is a bad, bad.

[Monet X Change]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's horrible.

[Monet X Change]

Jay saw it. He fucking climaxed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, the thing about. Do you know the weirdness about Moulin Rouge. It won the Tony that year, but they were the only ones nominated.

[Monet X Change]

Was it Covid?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was Covid gag.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, that's crazy. To have a thing with one person in the category. That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is what it is, my boy. So Corey King goes up to with. With Jamal and she's like, I'm feeling confident, but I'm not gonna let the other girls know this. Why Corey? Why are you confident about any. What about any. No, Shade, what about your. Anything you done on this show is making you feel like you are on your nerve with Susie Toot.

[Monet X Change]

I think that Corey has stage presence. I think she's going to ride. She's going to try to ride on her stage presence. For this specifically.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I feel like when she's lip syncing, she has stage presence. But outside of that, I've not seen the moments where I'm like, Corey's eating the girl. Well, she did pretty decent on the Death game. She did pretty decent on that game. But she was outshined though by like three people.

[Monet X Change]

No, two. Anya and. And Jules. Who else outshine her?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anya outshine her. Jules outshine her. And Sam, I'll shine her. I would, I. I would say they.

[Monet X Change]

Were even to be for my opinion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, Monet's Nepo baby. This is crazy. Monet's little Nepo baby coming through.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. So you're my Nepo baby. You're. You're, you're. You're my fucking Nepo auntie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, exactly. Make sure you get it right, honey. I'm ranking over you, honey. Can you slide back a little bit?

[Monet X Change]

Yes, please.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Back. Jason Jay, shut the hell up. Let's go on to the makeup. Everyone back the fuck up. That's fine. So this is the first episode where we're really, really talking about the Corey King Lydia Butthole Collins love story. They're really amping it up this episode. Almost like we're gonna get a. A lip sync against them against each other or something.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I think that it's been alluded to and this is a little tea. Apparently after the show, I was watching Roscoe's. A clip of Roscoe's on Twitter. Like after the show. Like, they date. They were. Had a little showmance going on. I think there's a little like, lax after. And then after the show, they really got it amped up and they really started dating after the show. So in the show they were kind of like. But they became a couple like months later.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cause they can't fuck during the show, obviously.

[Monet X Change]

Why not?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When? When in the bathroom. Like, I mean, I don't know how it is now, but they used to, like, monitor who goes to the bathroom. You get walked to the bathroom. You don't see each other in the hotel. What are you gonna fucking in the back of the van?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, for. I'm not gonna count all winners. Cause that's different. Obviously. We've been there three times. So, like, people. It's like a different rules. But first season, they gave. You had weekends to go. Like, on the weekends, you can go to the pool and stuff together.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, to the pool. But when were you ever alone with a girl without a production person there?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Or maybe they're like, production can watch.

[Monet X Change]

I don't give a.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What they gonna do. Stop us. Acacia and Anya are both playing Dorothy, but they. And they both feel good about their chances. They're both like, I feel good going in.

[Monet X Change]

And only.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Unless.

[Monet X Change]

Only. Only 50% of them should feel that way.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, but the girls. All the girls are feeling good. Watching girls sit at the makeup mirror and be like, I'm about to eat the girlies up. Is always a wild. Like, it's always wild. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

No. What's wild is when it comes from a challenge. When someone is so bad and they're like, honestly, you see all y'all over there? Pack it up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You mean Susie.

[Monet X Change]

I sit on that stage. You mean Susie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Last week, Suzy. Last week.

[Monet X Change]

Very that so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Have you ever painted yourself green before?

[Monet X Change]

I have. I. Yeah. Yes. I have a couple.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know you did one for the Juno Burch thing.

[Monet X Change]

I did Juno Burch, and then I did Cracker and I when we presented the Glam Awards. Oh, it was a year. I. I think I was. I did, like, a witch number, and I was green and I had the dreads. Remember? It's a long time ago. You weren't remembering.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is a picture of Monae as Juno Burch.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then I did green when I did Wrong Bitch with Todrick Hall.

[Monet X Change]

So good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And you kind of just paint like normal, but you just use different colors. It wasn't that hard for me.

[Monet X Change]

Susie's in the weird. Do you see this? She was painting green. Susie has some strange. She started highlighting her Adam's apple. Did you see this?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I did see that. It was very strange.

[Monet X Change]

I was like, why are we highlighting our neck? I don't. Maybe she was the witch, like, is bulging. I don't fucking know what you're doing. But to be fair, in the challenge, she did look good. She looked pretty. So her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think she's wearing a turtleneck.

[Monet X Change]

Was she wearing a suit on the neck? No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I might have made that part of. I can't quite remember what she's wearing, but I remember I was thinking to myself, I want to see what her neck looks like. This is wild.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I think she ended up, like, just wearing a crew neck, but it didn't look weird, so whatever.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Corey and Arietty used to be big girls.

[Monet X Change]

You. You used to be a big girl. I don't mean that shady. You've said it on the podcast before. I'm not making it up. You said it on the podcast before, Dawson.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When did I say that to you?

[Monet X Change]

In middle school. You said that you used to like. You used to. You used to be a big girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monat. I didn't. In middle school, I was 6 foot 2, 125 pounds.

[Monet X Change]

Wasn't there sometime in school you were a big girl? Maybe not in middle school. Sometime you were six years old.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When I was in kindergarten. When I was in kindergarten, I was £95. I don't know if that's bigger, which they very large. Most kindergarten. The average kindergarten is 45 pounds.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, so you were a big girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

In kindergarten, but you, You. You add shit when they, like, when they like two years ago.

[Monet X Change]

I did not say that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, first Aritza comes for you, and now Monet.

[Monet X Change]

Damn.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is crazy. I was. I was very skinny. I was like crazy skinny.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, but did I lie? You see, in middle. In kindergarten, you were a big girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was a kind of a thick kindergartener, but I was not. I was not thick long enough to. To ever count as a big girl. I was five years old. And I was mostly because I was very tall. Like, I was not like just some. Even though Katya says I used to be as fat as a house on her little podcast.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, she said you were fat as former fatty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She was fat as a house is what Katya says. Did you. Have you not. Have you not heard this clip? The quote is former fatty, fat as a house.

[Monet X Change]

She's talking about herself.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, bitch. Me. Me.

[Monet X Change]

Why did she say that about you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Apparently she thought I was fat as a house. Listen, have you talked to Bob lately?

[Monet X Change]

Bob who?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bob the drag Queen. Oh, yeah. Ms. Former Fatty. Now she's like. She's not a former fatty. She is. She was bad as a house last time I saw her.

[Monet X Change]

Now she is cut.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I think I have to make a new diss track. That is crazy. I think I Have to make a diss track. Now, this is crazy.

[Monet X Change]

That is a house. But also. Bob, you know what? I'm gonna find a compliment in there for you. She's saying that you. You know, I don't know what. What proclivity you want for your body, but she's saying you look different now. For better or worse, you have. You know, you're smaller.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Drop the track, honey. Katya's going down.

[Monet X Change]

Honestly, you should. You should. You should do a. Be a rap over her. Her. What's that song? The. The Vampire Needs Dental. Dentist. Teeth. Something. Something weird.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, the tooth Work song. Now, Arietty said that she had an eating disorder, which is how she. This is the one where girls are like, I'm gonna. We're all gonna talk about our trauma. And then Acacia's like, bitch, you think that's something? I had cystic fibrosis. I was like, this is wild.

[Monet X Change]

So, cystic fibrosis. We had a kid in middle school that had cystic fibrosis. And it's like. It's when you have too much mucus. Your body produces too much mucus. You have to, like, use a thing. It's like a whole. Cystic fibrosis is no joke. Like, you, like, you breathe. Really? I didn't know that. I didn't know it was curable. I thought that you. I thought you had it forever. I didn't know you could. You could.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe she just has it under control or something.

[Monet X Change]

But a lot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The girls have come over. A lot, have overcome a lot in this cast. Jewel Sparkles is bionic with her steel plate in her back. Corey and Arrietty used to be big girls. Acacia has cystic fibrosis. Lexi Love was thrown out of her home by her family at the age of 16, 14. The girls are going through it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Yeah. And Lexi. Wait, did you. Wait, I'm making this up. Wait, did it talk about Lexi being a financial person?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. Yeah, I mixed the episodes up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know if not on this episode. That was like five episodes ago.

[Monet X Change]

Was it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

My God, it's all bleeding together.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They showed her LinkedIn profile. Okay.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, that was cr. We didn't. We probably got so caught up on something else, I forgot. But we had to mention Lexi is doing drag rack. Let me tell you something. Finances are one of the hardest things for not even just drag queens, I think just people to deal with. And this bitch. This bitch is an accountant. She is a fucking.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A fucking.

[Monet X Change]

A fucking day trader. Like, Lexi is checking out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're beefing up the resume girl.

[Monet X Change]

I want to hire her to do my fucking taxes. Wanna, like, CPA being able to do your taxes without a cpa.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's why.

[Monet X Change]

That's so fierce.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't. Monet, she didn't say she doesn't run taxes. She just said that she's a financial advisor. You're adding extra stuff to it.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, but you and I both know, even being anyone in the realm of finance. Nigga, you sm. I have had a financial advisor for seven years. I still don't understand shit these motherfuckers be talking to me about.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't listen when they talk.

[Monet X Change]

I do listen, Monet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't listen. I don't listen, Monet. We both said our friend. We used to fall asleep when she would talk to us. That's true. We both be like, oh, sorry, what? And you laughing because it's true. Let's get into these performances. So can I just give a hot take? I thought Susie was okay. Like, okay.

[Monet X Change]

I. I thought if it was safe. If safe is five, I would give her, like, a six. Seven, for sure. I thought that she was better than.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'll give her a high. Safe.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I mean, but overall, what did you think of the. Of the rusical? Just overall, I thought it was a. I thought it was a really good rusical. I liked it a lot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't like that they did the 42nd street thing. I wanted more. More wizard of Oz references. It just. I don't know why. Why was it. Why was it an audition?

[Monet X Change]

You don't like. You don't like the. The Chorus Line fantasy?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Why was it. Why were you doing Chorus Line? I just don't get it. Merge all the different.

[Monet X Change]

Where's wicked?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wizard of Oz? Yeah. Yeah. But I think.

[Monet X Change]

I think it was a vehicle. So, like, why all these things are converging together? Like, they're all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I get why they did. I just don't like it. Let me rephrase that. I get why. I just don't. I just don't like it. It wasn't. It was. It didn't make sense to me.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I thought it was a good rusical. I enjoyed it a lot. Um, I thought that Suzy was good. I didn't think she was anything to, like. I think it was a smash hit, like some other people are going to talk about. But I thought she did a good job. I enjoyed her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So Jules song is a take on Tits and Ass from Chorus Line. Um, and honestly, Jules, Eight down. Jules is such a good Performer very.

[Monet X Change]

Well rounded and kind of like on your nerve to me. Like, kind of sneaking up on the girls. Cause I mean, I enjoyed Jules from the beginning, but I definitely think that as the competition has went on, I think she's really showed how verse of a sexual partner and talent she is on the show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I think the nip slip actually worked in her favor.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Because it all worked. And honestly, I think it was planned.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You think so?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I think that was planned.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like Courtney act's little pussy pop on big brother.

[Monet X Change]

Mm. You know, I did not know that was planned until people brought it up. I was like, oh, my God, that's probably so embarrassing. And then I saw a whole thing about at this point, it's probably on vine. And I was like, oh, it was a planned thing. She better work.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think this is Arrietty's best performance of the season.

[Monet X Change]

And that's not saying much. I thought it was that. I thought it was fine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, it was good. It was. Again, I'm not saying she ate the girlies up, but it was indeed, in my opinion, her best performance of the season. In fact, I would say out of the three, I'm gonna say she was the best one out of the trio. She was the best one.

[Monet X Change]

The lion. The lion. The tin man and the scarecrow.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The lion, the witch and the wardrobe.

[Monet X Change]

That's literally what I was gonna say.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

I would say shu. Yeah, I would say so. I think on your nerve. Fucking Wait real quick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love that Lexi. I love that Lexi's singing into her tail. That was so funny to me. Lexi using her tail as a microphone was so funny to me.

[Monet X Change]

It was cute. It was cute. Can we get to Onion now?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Absolutely.

[Monet X Change]

My God, this queen is so talented. As soon as she went on stage, I was earthquake.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's ridiculous.

[Monet X Change]

I was literally smiling. Cause it was just like her fucking face and just how into the dancing. It was just. She's such a pleasure, such a joy to fucking watch through this challenge. Like, honestly, this should have been her third win. I don't care. She should have fucking won this challenge. She was so, so, so magnetic. It was divine to watch her. I'm happy I got to watch any interview.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. On your nerve was amazing to me. It was the best performance of the night.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Followed by Jewel Sparkles. I agreed. So thank you.

[Monet X Change]

Ok. See, sometimes, Bob, we, you know, sometimes we really sync up. Sometimes we really find each other and.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree, like, okay, back up.

[Monet X Change]

We'll get there. But Samstar anyway. Okay. Samstar as Cher. I will say Samstar had a lot to do, a lot of choreo. A lot of, like, logistics. Like, navigating the logistics of her performance and also singing the whole time. So I get that she had a lot to do, but I still. As a. As an overall performance, yes, it was good, but I think she was still outshone by. By Anya Nerve and Jules Sparkle.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I would. It was weird to me that they made Jules. We'll get to the judging. But, yes, Sam did. Sam did do a very good job, and I think Acacia gave herself the worst role in the show. It's not funny. It's not camp. It is. That's a sad sax song. I think Acacia set herself up for the Okie doke.

[Monet X Change]

But here's the thing, Bob. Here is the thing. I think because she's not a seasoned performer. Had you gotten it. Had I gotten it, had someone else, we would have found ways to beef up the thing to steal the scene. Like, she just went in and just did what she saw on the paper, and just like, I'm gonna. This is what. On the paper. I'm gonna do it. She didn't, like, try to, like, pull some tricks or like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Or.

[Monet X Change]

Or. Or do things to make it special. Like, she did nothing with it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, she just. And by the way, she also was the one who had to be out there by herself. Like, literally all Celine Dion, all by myself alone, just doing this earnest performance to a. To decent vocals.

[Monet X Change]

And that's the thing. Like, she made it to earnest. She should have camped it up, dragged it up. I don't know. With the little toto in the bag. Find the thing to, like, give the dog treats.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

Find things. Also you. You're on the stage by yourself, bitch. Take up the space. Like, do shit to amp up your performance.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Douche it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, douche.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Before you go on stage. I mean, in an event, she was. She said she's having a rough day. Her grandmother passed away a year ago. I know what it's like to perform while grieving. It is hard, y'all, to be on stage. Grieving sucks. It is so fucking bad. It feels horrible. But also, this is the hand you were dealt right now, you know?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, girl, you got. Yeah, Yeah. I think that she just didn't. She didn't. She. And again, I don't know what type of performer Keisha is, but let me tell you something, Mark. Well, I'm not saying any New York. If it was an old New York City drag queen. You gave a Bianca Del Rio. Peppermint.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Old.

[Monet X Change]

Old. A peppermint. Sasha, Velour, and Aja. Whatever.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Don't try throwing younger girls to soften the blow. You call them old bitches.

[Monet X Change]

Those are the type of Miss Cracker. Those are the type of New York City Queens. I think if you gave them that number, they would find a way to fucking New York City that shit, and fucking steal the scene and make it the scene. You know what I mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. So let's go to the Runway. First of all, the judges look great. I love this jacket that Adam Lambert is wearing. I want a full suit like that Disco daddy girl. Yeah. A billion dollars.

[Monet X Change]

Disco daddy did this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, and again, a billion dollars. I did not stutter.

[Monet X Change]

I love Jamal's fucking. These big. This big yellow and black pinstripe shit. That looks so hot. I would love to wear something like that. That looks really cool.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Honestly, I would wear everything everyone's wearing here, every single judge. I would literally wear either one of these outfits. Literally.

[Monet X Change]

I would do. I would too. I think I love what RuPaul is wearing. I love having that obi belt in the middle because it creates such this disillusion of this, like, tiny, tiny, teeny wave.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How do you think her small waist is an illusion?

[Monet X Change]

Smoke and mirrors. Just like. Just like when I do it or you do it? Smoke and mirrors.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, baby. When I do it, it's real. The realness.

[Monet X Change]

Why did you do a. Concentrate.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why do you have a fucking hat.

[Monet X Change]

On now all of a sudden?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because my head's a little ashy. Let's go into. It's not a little.

[Monet X Change]

A little is hilarious.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go on to Susie Toot. She back on her. She back on her old timey, which I don't.

[Monet X Change]

I don't care about the old time anything. I just think this was so boring. I mean, I thought. I hated. It was just this, which. Fuck me, right? Cause Ru thought the color was incredible. I thought it was way too muted and way too, like, all beige. Like, I wanted, like, this. And another color would have been cool, but I think just the beige was. All of it was too monochromatic for me, and I love a monochromatic moment, but did you see that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's. Did you find. Did you hear that she's wearing Anya Nier's mom's wig?

[Monet X Change]

Yes. Which is hilarious. Also, she's not wearing a parasol. I'm like, does the category mean anything? Like, the judges be picked, like, so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She'S carrying a parasol. What's that in her hand? That's a parasol.

[Monet X Change]

That's not a parasol.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That is absolutely a parasol.

[Monet X Change]

What makes it a parasol?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's like an umbrella, but not really. Like, parasols tend to be more flat. That little thing, that thing she's holding. What do you think that thing she's holding is?

[Monet X Change]

I think parasol are. I think parasols are supposed to be smaller. This is a regular size umbrella, Monet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's not an umbrella. First of all, the fact that it's completely flat. Umbrellas curve around. That's one of the big things. Parasols are smaller, but that is. That is a parasol. That thing she's holding is a parasol.

[Monet X Change]

No, I'm looking. No, it says a lightweight umbrella used.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

As a sun shade. Yeah, that's a parasol. You can tell because it's. Because it doesn't curve around. It's just. It's just for blocking out sun. You remember used to have those. Those parasols back at home. I used to keep them in the umbrella thing.

[Monet X Change]

And they.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're mostly. They were paper usually, but they were like the Asian ones. That's what she has. That's a parasol. That's fully a parasol. Okay. Bitch.

[Monet X Change]

Say to her Paris on one more time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

An umbrella can't be flat like that. You'll just be getting wet.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, moving on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Eat your words, fag. Oh, my God.

[Monet X Change]

Jesus Christ.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I don't love this outfit. I don't love it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I thought it was too.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jewel's looks great. I think she looks fantastic.

[Monet X Change]

I do, too. But girl on this new Runway, y'all, For the season, 18 girls wearing black on the room is a little tough. Like, I don't see any dimension here. Like, it's so hard to see. And again, that's not your fault. But I think that's just something to be mindful of going. You know, if you're going on Drag Race.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. It's hard to get dimension if you're wearing all black or all white in general, especially against a black or white wall. If you're wearing the color of the wall.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, for sure. Let's go on to Miss Airy Eddie, which I thought this was cool. I love. I love to touch you with the red in it. Arietty never misses on the Runway. I thought this was a next one. I like this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. She looks really good. I don't have a lot of notes, but she does look very good. Let's go into Lexi Love caught when.

[Monet X Change]

She came around that corner with the fucking umbrella. Reveal that the parasol was a fascinator on her head. A hat, whatever you want to call it. And the gold accents look really regal and rich. And the white hair was so striking. I thought Lexi really ate this up. She looks amazing to me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You realize her. Her and Susie are. Those are basically the exact same parasol.

[Monet X Change]

Mm. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I guess you. I guess you could say that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Um, you know, I love this look. I think it looks. I wish that she was wearing gold shoes, though, to match her titties.

[Monet X Change]

I could see that. I could like that as well.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I did like the reveal that. That it was a cane. That was really cool, in my opinion.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Let's go on to Ms. Sam Starr, who is. Who looks incredible.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My favorite look of the night.

[Monet X Change]

It was the monochromaticity of all this was gray.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not monochromatic.

[Monet X Change]

Isn't. It's all purple.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There's multiple colors. There's also the flesh color under there, too.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, but wouldn't this count as monochromatic, though? I think it counts as monochromatic.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, sure. Also, this is not an updo. She was like, I'm wearing my signature updo. This is not an updo girl.

[Monet X Change]

She loved this girl. This. I mean, this is a trinity. This is a trinity. This is a trinity. This is a trinity. The tuck gown. This is a Trinity outfit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I think this is amazing. This is my favorite look. This is my favorite look of them. I love when someone has. There's a picture of Varla Jean Merman standing next to this couch. And the couch is in the same. The couch is upholstered in the fabric of the dress she's wearing. I love that stuff. I love, like, the fact this umbrella is literally the same fabric or the parasol. The same fabric as the dress. This is so cool to me. This is just so cool.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I think this is beautiful. She looked great. And Samsung always looks very pleasing in the face. And. Yeah, I think she looks good. Let's talk about Lydia Butthole Collins. Lydia will find something to put on her head or her face. It'll be the last thing this bitch does. She will block her face.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is she hiding from. Is she on the run? Why is this bitch always on the run?

[Monet X Change]

And the dress, I think, is fine. Again, you know, it's a little shapeless. Cause she's. You know, she's not wearing any corsetry or padding or anything, which, you know, that's a choice. You know, I gotta say, this is. I don't like, this girl Lydia is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The queen of okay looks. No shade. Like, I never hate it. I never love it. I'm always like, oh, yeah, she's wearing it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I would agree.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go on to Corey King. The dress is too short.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And this hair is a sin.

[Monet X Change]

The hair color on her is nice, though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The color is nice. This hair is a sin, Corey. It's a sin. A sin. Prison. Prison.

[Monet X Change]

Also you. Do you like the. The white go days at the bottom? Isn't that strange to you? I get she's trying to, like, bring more white in it. It was so weird.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It looked, like, almost fake. This whole dress is strange. You know what? What I don't like about this dress, I could have made this. And if I can make it, you probably should be wearing on Drag Race. That didn't stop me, but I won, so I guess that's the difference here. Damn, I don't like this. The parasol is cute, though.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, why?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, just look cute. And that. That is an umbrella girl. That actually is an umbrella bitch.

[Monet X Change]

She went to Marshall's and paid the 9.99 for that fucking umbrella. At the. In the little checkout aisle, she's like, oh, yeah, let me just take this too.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, this is indeed a real umbrella. Let's go on to. On ya nerve. This was better on the Runway than it does in still photos, but I did like it. She looked good, but somehow the photo's not giving what it gave on the Runway.

[Monet X Change]

I thought it was a weird outfit. I don't understand why. It was this mesh catsuit, and it was tucked into her boots. I didn't love this. Did not love this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go into a case you forgot. I think this look is so cool.

[Monet X Change]

I like it from the waist up. I don't like the D. This Dior length skirt is not. It's not the Dior length, and it looks like an ashy. Like, I wish the stripes were black, like, the thing. And I just think the skirt is just throwing me off. Everything else I like. I was going back and forth about the double Afrop parasol, but after what I saw on the lip sync, I was like, oh, this was so clever. So I love that. But I don't like the skirt. I don't like the skirt.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do wish she would stop wearing this curly hair. Like, I don't think this curly hair thing that she does is doing any favors for her face. I just don't like it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, it was. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go on to. Finally, Lana Jarret, who, by the way, this may shock you all. This is a very unique look for her. This is not something she normally wears. Bitch, what do you wear? Jesus. Do you wear clothes?

[Monet X Change]

I think she looks stunning. She looks very sexy. I thought this was a good look.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. A little corset wouldn't hurt. But the crazy thing is she's wearing a corset. It's just not tight.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Maybe she doesn't. Which.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And if she corseted, she would probably be impossible. Like, her body would look crazy.

[Monet X Change]

Bitch. If Lana Ja records, it would be insane. It would be. Honestly, she could wear a piece of shit on the runner. People were like, oh, my God, she.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Has.

[Monet X Change]

Luxx is about the way Luxx is about to wear your ass out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's she gonna do? What's she gonna do?

[Monet X Change]

No, if Lana was to corset on top of, like, it would be insane. Like, I don't think. I don't think she understands the value it would bring to her roommates. It should just course it a little bit. It would, like, be insane.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We need to send her to Domino. They're in the same town. Also, she's wearing Luxx's wig, by the way, this is the wig that Luxx wore when she won her first maxi challenge.

[Monet X Change]

Is it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yep.

[Monet X Change]

How you know? Did you just remember this or she said it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's because she said it out loud.

[Monet X Change]

Oh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So Arrietty, Lana, Lana, Jarrett, Lexi, and Lydia are all safe in the.

[Monet X Change]

And they happen to say, Lana, Lana took her ass. She's like. She's like. She's like. She's like, thank you, Lord. Yeah. Y'all never complain about being safe again.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. She's like, thank you, honey. And then now, Susie, Sam, there are four tops and two bottoms. It doesn't seem like there's three bottoms, right?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, it doesn't. No. It's clearly Corey and Acacia.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Cause Susie, Sam, Jules, and who else are there? Susie, Sam, Jules, and Anya were all. All Got got praised.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And Michelle thinks that Lydia outshined Corey, which I agree with.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Ever so slightly. But, I mean, if you want to split hair. Sure. I also don't think Lydia, like, did a smash job, but I think that if you had to analyze, put the two monkeys against each other, which sounds so crazy. There was a case that Lydia did better than Corey and.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, just. Akashia is having a hard day. I feel so bad for her. Acacia's having a rough day. I'm telling y'all. Mourning and competing on television is not fun. It stinks. But she's, you know, she got her head held high, and then we find out that samstar is the winner of this challenge. Do you agree with that win?

[Monet X Change]

No. I mean, again, I can see why. Like, if I was choosing. No, but I can see why. Sam Starr had the hardest choreo, 100%.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she did have the best outfit too, in my opinion. She had the best look on the Runway.

[Monet X Change]

I don't agree with that. But who had the best look? Lexi.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

To me over Sam.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's fair.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Sam had the best, had the hardest choreo. So, yes, I see that. But if I was picking 1 million percent, Anya. Even though Anya's Runway is my favorite, I think her performance was so good, it. It transcends that for me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think Anya's performance was really good. I thought Jules was also better than Sam. I think that Jewel. I think that Jules is Runway was also pretty good. But I would have given to either. I would have given to Anya. And if Jules would have won, I've been like, I could see that too.

[Monet X Change]

What the fuck did Jules wear? Oh, yeah, the black.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All black. So Corey and Acacia are in the bottom again. As a reminder, girls, just grab some. It's really not. It's not that expensive, I promise you. Um, I will say this. Corey ate Acacia up. Like, she ate her. In my opinion, ate Lakesha up.

[Monet X Change]

And apparently blackout drunk. Apparently, Cory said she was, which I was like, Corey, words that mean. That's not what blackout drunk means.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't know how fucked up she was.

[Monet X Change]

But by blackout drunk. No, girl, no.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't know. You don't know how fucked up she was.

[Monet X Change]

I've been blackout drunk. That's not blackout drunk.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know you used to drive home, but I used to get. I wish Mitch was there. Mitch. But I used to get blackout. That's not true.

[Monet X Change]

Bob, stop. Can you please talk? That's not. I did not get blackout drunk and drunk. That is not true. I would like to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't even know what blackout means anymore.

[Monet X Change]

And that's not. That is not true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you remember driving home?

[Monet X Change]

Yes. Corey tweeted. Corey tweeted the way I could tell I was blackout drunk during that lip sync. Laughed my fucking ass off.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But Corey did. Ate her. Cory ate her up. Corey, those little kicks when she did the. I love the high kick. High kick, high kick, high kick. That sends me every. It's so good. Acacia tried, but she just got eight up. Girl, she's got eight up.

[Monet X Change]

Were. You were you upset when Corey's wig fell off?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was. It was irritating. Have you seen a video of her on YouTube, I mean, on TikTok or Instagram, where she does a split to. Her wig falls off and goes down the stairs and then gets in the car and then drives somewhere? Have you seen. She's doing the splits and then the wig falls off and then the wig rolls downstairs, opens the door, rolls down the front door, opens up the car, puts the car and drive.

[Monet X Change]

No, I didn't see that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's so good at the Internet. She's so good at it. Corey King and Corey done sent Acacia packing. It's time to go. Do you agree with this? With this calling?

[Monet X Change]

You know, I think Acacia had a good run on the show. She was one of the first. She was. She. She beat Harmona. She was in the bottom of the first two, and she had to listen for her life. And she lasted nine more weeks. So, you know, good for you, girl. Good for you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, best of luck. Oh, we also. I listened to Acacia forgot. So she told us before she left, she said, stream my new song, I never win. What's it called?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah. I never win.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I never win. I listen to it. I will say of her songs, it is my favorite one so far.

[Monet X Change]

You know, this type of music is not for me, but I can acknowledge that it's a good. It's a good produced song, but it's this. I can't really give an opinion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All right, y'all go stream I never win by in case you forgot, right now on all streaming platforms and head.

[Monet X Change]
