Oh, from the Cowboy Carter album.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, and we and we gonna make it a do. We're do. Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, I'm not super familiar with with, with the Cowboy Carter album, but we are not going to go into a deep, long conversation about Cowboy Carter because we are on a mission today. Yes, that's right, y'all. We are back for Swing Watchery. It is officially RuPaul's Drag Race. Season 17 has kicked off. I will say this, by the way, I'm grabbing. I'm going for my notes, which is why I'm looking down, y'all. I realize now why they don't ask me back.

[Monét X Change]

Damn. Can I say can I talk? Nigga, you want to. You want to talk on the first 10 minutes of the podcast. Can I say something?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you went to your whole Beyonce dad trap. I'll let you talk you talked about Beyonce.

[Monét X Change]

Yo. You just started going off.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hello. Can I jump in time to talk about Beyonce? Anyway, Chillin's episode.

[Monét X Change]

We are back for season 17 of Drag Race.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're gonna say everything I just said. You're gonna use your time to say everything I already said. Yeah.

[Monét X Change]

In my way. And we're so excited. Sleeping Watch 3 has become, in my opinion, and I think they're putting on many others. It has become a staple Drag Race review series in the Zeitgeist. Girls, watch this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hey, y'all can see Outdoor show. This is where all the fights happen for sure.

[Monét X Change]

You think Ray Chaser gets in fights? Do they get into fights or is it just us?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, probably. I mean, I don't really know what's going on over there, so they probably do. We just don't know about it. But they probably do, though.

[Monét X Change]

Ours. So do ours feel louder to us because we're involved us.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I mean, they might be throwing down hardcore. I have no clue. Perfectly honest. I don't watch racechaser. I don't listen to racechaser. So I don't know.

[Monét X Change]

Also the name of racechaser. They should think about that. I just heard it. I just said in my mouth, I just heard a Race chaser.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Do you know what they call it? Race Chaser.

[Monét X Change]

I know why.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monét X Change]

Like guys who want to drag race girls. Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But also, we have to talk about this episode. It's not about race, not about Beyonce. This is about RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17, Episode 1. I now see why they don't call me back to do Drag Race, though, because I would not have done this. I would not have done this.

[Monét X Change]

You not have done what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This piece scene. The pie scene.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't, I, I, I wouldn't. I would. That's not something I would sign up for. And they didn't. You know what? They didn't ask me. So now I see why I never.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Get called to do Drag Race stuff. Because that does not seem.

[Monét X Change]

No, last season you were there, but you were there to. To, to be the roastmaster. Which is, which is nice, right? I went back to be.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It did like a little three second thing. Yeah.

[Monét X Change]

I mean, but it was, you know, you, you, you were held in high regard. You were in. You were, you were, you, you were being that girl. You know what I mean? You were honored for your talent and.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You did the season 10 thing. I know, but my thing. Those are what, years apart, I was snatched.

[Monét X Change]

Game of Love. And that was Nice. I was a snatchler. But yeah, being thrown with pies and messing up your makeup and your lashes and your hair. No. Even though maybe. I'm sure Drag Race probably paid for it. If you were messing up girl stuff, I'm sure they compensated them for it. But still, I would be like, no, it's not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I wasn't so sure of that because.

[Monét X Change]

I think at this point, Trinity. I know Trinity did not go up there and get pied in the face and did not get compensated for it in some way. I know she didn't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't know that. You're assuming that, but I am. We can call her and find out.

[Monét X Change]

I'm about to call. What time is it over there in Florida?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Later than she's three. It's noon. Later than it is. Here we are. Unless you're in Hawaii, there's nowhere in America you can be that makes earlier than here. Been forwarded to an automatic voice message system. Damn. She don't like you no more. 5. She don't like you no more, honey. Her drag daughter's on drag. Her drag granddaughter's on Drag Race now. She don't need you no more.

[Monét X Change]

You like her drag daughter? I mean, her grand. Her great great granddaughter. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She did not need you anymore, honey. You are old news now. She has someone on the show currently.

[Monét X Change]

On a current season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not from seven season. You're from seven seasons ago. Monet, you're an old, dusty drag queen from seven seasons ago. That's the.

[Monét X Change]

I was 11, you dusty fossilized seven.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ew.

[Monét X Change]

You're 11. You're literally four more than me. You're 11. I mean, two.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're.

[Monét X Change]

You're nine. You were nine seasons ago.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Whatever the.

[Monét X Change]

You were.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're in public school. They came. So let's go on. There's something funny to me about RuPaul turning around wearing that Sleep no More mask. They could have painted it or something, but. But I did enjoy. I did enjoy this giant.

[Monét X Change]

This heat. Pound cake.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Little pound cake. I thought it was actually great camp. It was very, very funny.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, I mean. I mean, I guess. I guess. I guess the draggers knew when Squid Game was premiering that obviously it's all lined up perfectly. Squid Game Duly just came out last week and a new Squirrel Games. But, yeah, I thought it was really dope. It was. I thought it was a cute challenge, but I thought, isn't it weird that none of the season 17 girls got pied?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The season one with the girls.

[Monét X Change]

None of the season 17 girls got pied'?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe it was set up.

[Monét X Change]

You think?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think so. She's saying squid game is set up. She's saying. So you said by treasure the property, that means the beast games are set up. And it's all.

[Monét X Change]

Also lil Pound Cake being the first one to be pied is that is forever gonna be her. Her lot to bear. The first to get eliminated, first to get pied, first to get everything.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was pork chop, not. You taught her a little pound cake.

[Monét X Change]

I mean, Pork chop. Yes. Sorry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I think it was. It was. I think that was the bit.

[Monét X Change]

I know. I get it. Thank you, Bob. I know. Just really quick, I'm gonna say this. So we had a secret Santa in my house. I don't even talk about this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then Secret Santa. This is Wuhan.

[Monét X Change]

No, I need to say this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then.

[Monét X Change]

So we have a secret Santa at my house. Jacob brought this penis holder thing as a secret Santa gift. And I got it. I got to open it. And Bob stole it from me. He knew that I really wanted this penis pencil holder, and he stole it from me after I've given Bob so much of my lifetime and energy, and he did that to me. So I'm gonna take that into 2025. That is an omen for 2025. Know that. Continue.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't care. Also, the other part that' it was supposed to be something from your house that you, you know, had around for a while, but that you were willing to part with and wanted to give to a secret Santa. So I was like, that's fine. I don't really need this. I could give this to somebody else. And now it's back in our house. You know what? And I don't care. And I'll do it again. Bop, bop, bop. Let's go on to these queens. So the first queen to walk in is Lexi Love. Jacob, you have. Where's Lexi? Oh, there she is.

[Monét X Change]

She's the first one. Lexi Love. She says. Why y'all gagging? I haven't even stepped on any. On any necks yet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So let me say this real quick before we get started. Because of that Squirrel Games thing in the beginning, I feel like we had very little time with the queens after they walked in, so I don't have a ton of notes for everyone. That being said, I think we should critique these looks. I feel like it's meant to be post, like, posted as our. As our elder queer. And she's 32 or 34, which is wild to me. I mean, that is older than I was on Drag Race, but It seems wild, but she is obviously younger than I am right now. I do like this look. I think this look is really cute. I don't love the hair, but I do like pretty much the rest of the look. I love.

[Monét X Change]

I think that, I think, I think. But also just in drag. She's an elder, right? She's been doing drag for 13, 14 years. So, like, that is a long time to do drag. When, when you in Drag Race, how long had you been doing drag?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Seven or eight years.

[Monét X Change]

So, yeah, so she's almost, she's almost doubled the amount of time that you've done drag. So she definitely probably knows her way around a lot of dragons. Secrets, hacks, beeps, bops, boops. And this is, I think this entrance look is proof of that. She looks really beautiful. Her. The body looks right. I think her makeup and hair look beautiful. I love this Victoria's Secret moment. I think she looks great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I. She said she's avant stupid. And I said, oh, God, we got another dumb bitch. I think we. I don't do we have another stupid, stupid, dumb season. Is this, is this cast full of dumb idiots too? We're gonna find out soon. But we got it, we got it. We got a stupid girl on our hands here. Self proclaimed. That's her Avon stupid with two O's, like, boobs. Then we have Joella, y'all. I can't pronounce this, but I'm gonna try Dajioho. Dajio. How? Welcome to the Joella dynasty. And then she hits the gong. I do love this look. I love how she walked in with the gong over her head. I thought it was actually placed there. I thought it was like supposed to stay there. And by the way, this, what she said is Mandarin Chinese reading say like, hello everyone or how's everyone's day? But I. The only thing, only critique I have with this look is that as the scene progresses, her wig is doing the childhood house live.

[Monét X Change]

I didn't notice that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Her wig is here. It's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here. Her wig is moving all around all together.

[Monét X Change]

As a girl on season 10, y'all, I was sweating on my season. I was nervous, I was excited. So my wig was looking crazy a little bit. So those first day jitters are a lot. So I get that. I, you know, I didn't at first watch, I didn't love this look. Now I like it a little more. And I think in context of all the looks we see, Joella do this episode. This is definitely her shining moment of the episode, if that makes any sense. Um, but I do think that is this. I was confused. What was around her wrist? Is this supposed to be part of the hair? I don't understand what this braided was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He used it to hit the gong. I mean, it might. It might be part of this costume in general or part of this traditional garbage, but she used the thing at the end of it to hit the gong.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, got it. Yeah. So Joella work. Honestly, the more and more I see Joella, I just see her personality online now and see how she interacts the other girls. I'm kind of becoming obsessed with Joella.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think that Valentina ushered in this wave of being like, you really have to represent your culture super, super hardcore on Drag Race. And I think a lot of people connect to that, and a lot of folks, especially from, like, people of color, marginalized communities, specifically those. When those communities refer to their race or their ethnicity, they really want people to see them represent their ethnicity on Drag Race. And I do love that. And she looks great, by the way.

[Monét X Change]

Let's go on to Ms. Corey King.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And also, I want to point out that clearly, clearly we have had, you know, Chinese drag queens on Drag Race before. Yuhamasaki has obviously famously walked in. So I'm not saying that Joel is the first Chinese queen ever do this. I just want to give. And Yuha probably wasn't the first Chinese queen. I just know Yuha is Chinese and she came in in a very traditional Chinese garb is all I'm saying.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Let's go on to Ms. Corey King. She walks in and she has Good Morning Kingdom, which is obviously a play on her name, Corey King. And I think in even I'm saying better than plain Jane. Cory King's body is so right. Like, I just love how thick and voluptuous her fucking thighs and ass are. And also in proportion, you know, with her, with her shoulders and that teeny eeny beanie tiny, itty waist. I think Corey's body is so hot, so sexy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can't tell if Cory King is short or if she's tall. I literally cannot tell because in this picture, she looks like she is one foot tall.

[Monét X Change]

Like she. Like she could be Jax.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. But in every other photo, she looks like she's 99,000ft tall. I have no clue how tall this woman is. Um, I do like this. Is this supposed to be like a Barbie inspired look?

[Monét X Change]

I think it's like, it's like Drag Race Does Barbie. It's because it's that signature Barbie pattern. Yeah, the black and white.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And also, Corey King has a she. I don't know if she's bald or not, but if she is, why is her wig always so low?

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, her wig needs to be pushed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Your wig can be anywhere. Why is her wig always, like, right here?

[Monét X Change]

I mean, Patty. Patty and Todd make fun of me. I. I like. I like a three head when I'm in drag. I put my wig down, too. I don't like having a lot of space, so I get it. But I think hers is a little too far down and you. So it can go up, like, half an inch and it will be good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I don't think your wigs are that low. I've never been like, oh, my God, this is so low. I've never felt like your wig was, like, absurdly low or anything, but I do feel that about this wig. I feel like this wig is just too low, in my opinion.

[Monét X Change]

It's too low. Yeah. But I love that she matched her shoes to this in this picture. I'm noticing she had, like, a. Listen, I love a matching panty. She's like, no, I'm not. I'm not going to throw some raggedy black panties. I'm going to match my panties to my dress. That's the extra mile that I. That I appreciate in a bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, it's cute. I mean, she. She. I think she looks really good. Um, I think that. Yeah, she looks great. She looks fantastic. I think. Um, I just. I just. This wig does drive me a little bit crazy. Besides the wig driving me crazy, I think she looks pretty. Pretty damn good. So let's go on to Lydia Butthole Collins. I love Lydia Butthole Collins. I love this.

[Monét X Change]

Let me turn you. That was really sorry, listeners, for that. That's a lot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Butthole. I. I feel like she said. Did someone say my name three times?

[Monét X Change]

Mm.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Which is obviously a reference to Beetlejuice. I don't understand. What is Beetlejuice about this look? I mean, I get that her name is Lydia, like Lydia Deetz.

[Monét X Change]

Right? Oh. Oh, maybe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, I didn't even put that. I missed that part. Right. Lydia Dietz is Christina Reach. No, the lady.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Winona Ryder.

[Monét X Change]

Winona Ryder's character.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes.

[Monét X Change]

Right, right, right, right. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But other than, like, maybe she's like a Tim Burton Stan or something.

[Monét X Change]

Maybe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But this outfit is not. She's not dressed like Beetlejuice because. Okay, so Beetlejuice is. Beetlejuice is wearing stripes, but they're black and white. This is black and gray with white lines outside on the white stripes surrounding the black stripe. And then also Beetlejuice's stripes are vertical. Hers are almost all horizontal. And. And then I don't get. I don't get it. I don't get how this is supposed to be Beetlejuice. Besides her name being Lydia and there being stripes.

[Monét X Change]

I don't think it's on the nose unless she's trying to, like, be. She's not. She's not doing. She's not doing a fucking Beetlejuice impersonation. It's like just a little. A little nod to a little reference of Beetlejuice, I think, with the black and white stripes on her legs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're not black and white stripes. They're black and gray stripes.

[Monét X Change]

The ones on her legs are black and white, babe. And also Vava's like, if she's not. If it has green hair, if she's not Michael Keaton, if she's not throwing up with green fucking, she's not Beetlejuice.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's just doing a reference. This is like, being like, because I'm wearing polka dots, I'm now Minnie Mouse because I did a dot. No, no, no. Minnie Mouse wears polka dots, and I wore polka dots. So this is obviously a Minnie Mouse reference because. Just. Because the pattern, like. No, I don't like. If it was. If it was. If she was wearing black and white stripes, I would be chill about it. But they're not even. You know, Layla McQueen's interest outfit was more Beetlejuice than this.

[Monét X Change]

I would agree with that. I would agree with that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I don't. And I don't like the look either.

[Monét X Change]

Layla's or this one?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This one. Do you like this look?

[Monét X Change]

Um, you know, I don't know. Like, I don't like it, but I do like it. I do like the. I do like the hodgepodge, like, so much going on. Like, I love the.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The.

[Monét X Change]

What's the word? Not. What's not the opposite. Minimalist. I love the maximalist aspect of this. Like. Cause it has, like, this, like, blazer on it with. She's, like, embellishing with these stones and these chains, and she has, like, the tinsel on it. And, like, just having this jacket, I. I hate it, but I kind of like it. It's messy, but I kind of like it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Then you should wear it, since you love them. This episode is brought to you by Amazon. Sometimes the most painful part of getting sick is the getting better part.

Alien Seattle bitch. This hair is fucking dope. This hair is so fucking dope. I would wear this hair. It's so cool. It's like anime. It's like Goku meets, like fucking Naruto. Which means, are there a lot of Alien Seattle girls? I mean, there's Irene the alien.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is the way you said one of those Alien Seattle girls as if it was like a lot of alien Seattle girls?

[Monét X Change]

No, that might say a lot of them. I know two Arietti and Irene. And there's also Cynthia.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cynthia who?

[Monét X Change]

He looks like Cynthia Drag. Something like that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She does alien drag too?

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, I believe so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I always think. I always think of campy redheads or theatery, even though Ben's not a redhead, but like that whole like, I love this look. I think she looks absolutely amazing. I love everything about this look. I Love that she walks and goes. Hi. I thought this entrance was just great. From the look to the entrance. I have no notes. I think she looks really, really cool. She's very conceptual.

[Monét X Change]

She said, this nose highlight is gonna be really tough for me to get into. I just. I mean, I don't think it's bad. I'm not knocking this thing. I think she is her signature. I think that's cool for her. But it's going to take me a minute to kind of get used to it, because I don't love it, I don't think. But it may be one of those things, like, over the time it's going to. I'm really. I'm going to fall in love with it. And. And. And I'm going to hate to. When she doesn't have it. I know. Who's going to hate to see it all the time? I can already. I. There's no way. Michelle is not going to be like, girl, we've seen the highlight. What? What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's already mentioned that she doesn't like it. She's already mentioned that she doesn't like it. I mean, and she. She looks like one of the creatures from. From Avatar.

[Monét X Change]

Avatar. Like the Na'vi or Avatar the Last Airbender or the Blue people?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. Which one do you think? Which one does she look like?

[Monét X Change]

I mean, Avatar the Last Airbender has weird. Has interesting characters.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like this?

[Monét X Change]

Yes. I mean, not exactly like this, but they have interesting characters.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What about the other one? Do they have anything kind of like.

[Monét X Change]

This with spikes and leather?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The nose contour. When they were talking about the nose contour.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They had that in there.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monét X Change]

You know what? Interesting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We'll be in public and I'll be like, oh, my God, look at that guy. He's so tall. Monet will look into the group of them. She'll go, which one? I'll be like, the tall one.

[Monét X Change]

Monet. Not true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We've had this exact. I go, the tall. It'll be like one who's like 7ft and everyone else is 5. So Monet will literally. Monet will literally say which one? I'm like, Monet, the tall one. The tall one, bitch.

[Monét X Change]

That's a nice. You're such an over exaggerator.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That has literally happened before. Which one, bitch? Anyway, I like this look a lot. Let's go on to Jules Sparkles, which I just want to say again, Jewel.

[Monét X Change]

It's a single jewel. Jewel.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Her name is Jewels Sparkles.

[Monét X Change]

I don't Think that's right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's written here wrong. Her name is Jules Sparkles and I do not. And. And I remember this because of how much I hate her name. Yeah, sorry. She. On her Instagram, her name is Jewel Sparkles. You want apologize?

[Monét X Change]

Well, I'm going by what Jacob said. Jacob, apologize. No, I'm not apologizing. So. Jacob, apologize.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm sorry, I. I should have added that. I would like to apologize to our listener. Spreading misinformation. Don't let Mon.

[Monét X Change]

Thank you, Jacob. Thank you so much.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But anyway, like I said before a thousand times, I do not like this name. Her name should be Jewel Sparkles. Jules Sparkles makes me crazy. I hate. I hate that.

[Monét X Change]

That is a lot of emotion for. For. For that Roberta.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It doesn't make sense. The name doesn't make sense. That being said, she goes, don't worry, I'm not just a. I'm that love.

[Monét X Change]

That great entrance line. I love that line.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she looks like she looks like Spice dressed up like sugar.

[Monét X Change]

Because of the dark end of the.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Doesn't she look like Spice dressed up like sugar?

[Monét X Change]

I can see that. I can see that. I think this is a great entrance look. It is. I mean, she clearly is a big Ariana Grande Stan on her social media, blah, blah, blah, blah. So she's kind of a nod to Ariana Grande, which on your entrance look to drag. I guess your first season is not that egregious. Maybe on All Stars if you were like still referencing someone else. Like, girl. Wait, no, you're a whole reference.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But is this a Ariana look?

[Monét X Change]

I mean, it's a high pony.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This.

[Monét X Change]

I mean, this says Ariana Grande to me. You don't think so?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just didn't know if it was like a recreation. I don't know if it was.

[Monét X Change]

I think it's a recreation. I think it's in the. It's in the. It's in the world of Ariana for sure.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, it definitely has Ariana ness to it for sure. I just didn't know if it was a recreation or not.

[Monét X Change]

Those. These shoes are cool. Which they look made like. They look like she. She got not made, but she like wrapped the shoe and she had covered. So this looks. I love that she made this custom shoe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love that she said that she is just. She has one brain cell, so. Oh, shit. We got another dumb bitch. Oh, God. Dumb bitches are falling from the ceiling. We got dumb bitches all over one brain cell over here.

[Monét X Change]

Also. She sounds like a woman. If I was to Close my eyes and listen to it. I would think this was a cision or woman just walking around the workroom. I don't think we had a bio queen this season, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was me with on your nerve. I was like, on your nerve is a cisgender woman. But yeah, I. Oh. She also said, I don't even think I'm just another look queen. Like, girl, I don't know if I qualify you as a look queen. Like, you're pretty, but you're not a look queen. Arietta is a look queen.

[Monét X Change]

Lucky star is the look queen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Lucky star is the look queen.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. I wouldn't categorize as a look. Also, I love her earrings. I love, love, love. And in this era of my drag, I'm into a custom or not. Just like a airing. I love a statement airing these days.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go on to Lana Jarret.

[Monét X Change]

Great name.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's the motherfucking drag name, Jules.

[Monét X Change]

Jesus Christ.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Good Gouda Morning. Because her cat's name was Gouda Morning. Gouda morning. Dreamers.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She.

[Monét X Change]

She said dreamers. As a girl, in this political climate, I mean, go off, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's saying Jeremias. Like, Jerae.

[Monét X Change]

I get. I know what she's saying, but I'm like. In this political climate, she would have. That's right. For solidarity with the dreamers. As you should.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's acknowledging the dreamers.

[Monét X Change]

I love them.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This queen is so hot. I love. I will say, the only thing I'll say about her is like, my God, her eyebrows are gigantic.

[Monét X Change]

It's giving Naomi Smalls an Eyebrow Season 8.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, she has gigantic eyebrows. And I do want to say to everyone out there who was talking about her cliffhangers, sometimes even if the shoe is the right size, when you're wearing open toe shoes, your feet just keep.

[Monét X Change]

Slide forward, sliding forward.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cause you're standing like this. They're not. They're not flip flops, y'all. We're not standing like this. We're standing like this. So when you're whole body weight, if. If you stand long enough, your toes just kind of creep over the edge. Now, that being said, these look like.

[Monét X Change]

They are a hair too small.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, that being said, that being said, these do look too small. Now. Now that we've got that out of the way, these shoes are too small.

[Monét X Change]

But like. Yeah, because look at her left foot. Like, it's. The whole thing is like her heel is where it should be. With her toes. Yeah, a little bit over the edge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, yeah.

[Monét X Change]

So.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So y'all. Y'all y'all. So she. She deserved that smoke. She did.

[Monét X Change]

I say on a. On a chocolate diva. I love, love, love. And a copper ish red and yellow combo. Mm. Fucking delicious. She looks delicious. She looks sexy. She looks gorgeous. Love it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's move on to Sam Star. While I've heard y'all were looking for America's next drag superstar. I hate that opening line, girl.

[Monét X Change]

And also, what in the Daughters of the Confederacy is happening here?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She. She thought she was on the season with they. Jada one promo picture or some shit.

[Monét X Change]

I know season 12.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was very impressive that you knew. That's off the top of your head.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, well, you know, Evie won season what? Evie won season 11. Simone 13.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did you really know all the. Are you guessing? Cause I wouldn't even know.

[Monét X Change]

I'm guessing. No, I'm guessing. I know. I know those. I know those. Um. Yeah. I look so into Pit stop. I did say willow pill. Who?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Willow Pill.

[Monét X Change]

14.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow. Very impressive.

[Monét X Change]

Um, I. When I. Talking about this look, I can acknowledge this looks like a very well made garment.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is.

[Monét X Change]

Obviously. It looks amazing on her. It is good. I just don't. I'm not an Americana kind of girl. I won't think besides our presidential palette, when Bob and I did that video when we were in red, white, and blue to promote our palette, that's one thing I would just never. I would never wear something like this. I'm not saying it's ugly, just not for me. And it's not something that I appreciate, but go off good for her. It looks. She looks great in it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you like Beyonce's Americana?

[Monét X Change]

Beyonce's Americana and Cowboy Carter.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, I did love that. That was fierce. But again, I wouldn't wear that. I would never wear.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're not asking if you wear. We're asking if you like it.

[Monét X Change]

No, I can acknowledge it looks good on her. It's fierce and sexy. I don't like that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're not asking if you would wear. We're asking if you like it.

[Monét X Change]

Nick, I just said I don't like it. Do you need me to say I'm French.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't like Beyonce? Calder, look.

[Monét X Change]

No, I do not like the Americana. No, I think it's a fierce look. It's not for me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So do you like it or no? We're not talking about for you, bitch. Do you like it or not? Do you like Americana or do you not like Americana? I love America Ferrara. So do you like Beyonce's look or no?

[Monét X Change]

I have to look for fun.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What if you just. You are so flim. Flim. What the fuck?

[Monét X Change]

What the fuck is that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What the fuck is that?

[Monét X Change]

What is. What is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What is this? This is when they got that Arrietty nose contour.

[Monét X Change]

No, I don't. My nose contour looks normal. What are you talking about?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, let's move on. Get this off. The fuck. What is that? Let's move on now that we've caught Monet. It's from your world of wonder show. Monet's herstory exchange. You caught Monet. How did I miss this whole chapter of your life, girl?

[Monét X Change]

I don't even remember what this was. This was like. This must have been right at the season 10.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's move on to on your nerve. On your nerve this baby. She goes, well, it do take nerve, and I agree, because this look is not good.

[Monét X Change]

Take nerve to wear this fucking hideous outfit, baby.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm sorry. Because on your nerve seems sweet, but there is so much wrong with what's happening on screen right now that it.

[Monét X Change]

I know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There is so much. There is so much going on.

[Monét X Change]

And I love her energy too. And I loved. I love her face. I like her, you know, her hair and her face. But this outfit was such a wild choice to enter the work group on your first season, Any season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what I'm realizing is I think there must have been a big chunk of time between the first episode and the premiere and the promo, because the promo is like, legit. One of the best looks I've ever seen. Like, I've never seen a. I've never seen a selection of queens from their original season look as good in their promo as these girls did. And now we have how they look when they walked in. And a lot of these girls had it glued up. A lot of these girls had glued up.

[Monét X Change]

I say that, yeah, she must like the 70s. I like the 70s. But there was a way to do this, and it'd be like drag and make it look cool. This just was not. She looks like. She looks like she was in the Jackson's American dream movie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do not like this look. I do not like it. Let's go on to Susie Toot.

[Monét X Change]

This is a face that should. I hate how her makeup looks. I. I've never. I don't. I don't think I. I've hated makeup on someone more than this girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I hate, hate, hate.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, tidy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, there were several moments where Susie Toots face would cross the screen and I'd be like, ugh.

[Monét X Change]

Jump scare.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, what is. What is happening? But she's going for a very stylized thing, right? She wants to be from the 20s. She wants to be in the prohibition era. She wants to be one of those gals. And you know, okay, there's a few things. One, she has the opposite of what Corey King has, which is this girl has a six head. She is pushing her hairline very, very, very, very far back. And she could bring it forward a little bit.

[Monét X Change]

That's what I think. As a drag queen, when you can choose any hairline you want, why the fuck would you choose that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, because it works for some queens. That's why. But they think it works for them. Like, for example, RuPaul's hairline is really far back. And for some reason, look at pictures of RuPaul. RuPaul's hairline is all the way back. Look at a picture. RuPaul right now, literally any picture. Just type in RuPaul's name. You will gag at how far back her wig is. You're going to be like, oh, my.

[Monét X Change]

God, the promo for this season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it's pretty far back, girl. And every single picture of RuPaul, her wig is far back. But for some reason, it just works for her. It does not work for everyone.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, Jay, can you put the promo of the season 17? RuPaul's hairline is. You're right, RuPaul's hairline is pretty far back in his promo.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But it. But for some reason, it just works for her.

[Monét X Change]

Well, Susie girl, this face is. Oh, if we have to look at this all season, I will literally unalive myself. But I will say the outfit is brilliant. I love this outfit. The black and white is gorgeous. I love that she put the. She added little bows to the shoes, the opera length gloves. This outfit is. I would wear this outfit. It's very cute. But this fucking makeup and this fucking wig trash.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is a cute outfit. Does she have wear padding or does she have thick legs? She is.

[Monét X Change]

I'm sure it's a little padding.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm about to say, this girl got some thick ass legs.

[Monét X Change]

Also out of drag. She looks like Alana Glaser a little bit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, this outfit is cute. I do like this look.

[Monét X Change]

I love this look. When was the last time you needed to see a doctor but made an excuse to put it off? Roberta, maybe you thought, oh, I'm too busy. I have my this is Wild tour in Europe.

Hello, loyal subjects. It is I, Harmona Lisa at your service. Wow, that sounded annoying. Well, that was annoying. I do not like this look. I do not like.

[Monét X Change]

Well, why does she look like she's in grayscale? Is that just, just how wild the camera. The picture came out wild. But this looks like, either she's very pale or she's like almost gray.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't, I don't like this outfit. I don't like the hair. I don't like this. I'm not, I'm not. None of this speaks to me. Also, I'm glad I'm, I'm glad I'm gagging when the girl said so. She didn't watch your tape.

[Monét X Change]

Like also how she talks about how she got hand selected by RuPaul at his, at his book tour. But you know, they asked her question about the book. She don't know a single thing about this book. This bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This bitch scammed RuPaul to get on.

[Monét X Change]

The show and then didn't even have the nerve to read a paragraph of his book. That's shady.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

To quote, to quote Corey king, you followed RuPaul with a flash drive and begged.

[Monét X Change]

How do you feel about her being hand selected by RuPaul?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think that's Really. I mean, that's really. That seems really cool. I mean, good for her. That sounds. That sounds like it'd be really exciting if that happened for you.

[Monét X Change]

Bitch. When Raven said she looked like fucking, fucking sadness in her confessionals, it sent me over the edge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Raven? Who's Raven?

[Monét X Change]

Raven, you haven't seen this, Mom.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Raven did the Pit Stop with Monet for this episode. Oh, no, I have not watched the Pit Stop.

[Monét X Change]

And she said that in her confessional, Hormonalisa looks like sadness in pastel paint from inside out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She does look like sadness. She does like sadness.

[Monét X Change]

She does.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Um, let's go on to Crystal Envy.

[Monét X Change]

So Crystal Envy gives me. You know, she's. She's. She's from New Jersey, but her drag feels very like Cameron Michaels Southern type drag. Like, a lot of opulence, a lot going on. Like, she has these crystal bow shoes, the big fucking ostrich feather skirt. I hate the front skirt. Like, the length of it makes her look so short. She looks so tiny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She said, yeah, I'd envy me too. I'm not really sure that I understand what the Jersey drag scene is. I'm not saying Jersey drag doesn't have an identity. I'm just saying I don't particularly understand the identity of Jersey drag, because whenever I see a queen from Jersey, they always are so. They're so different. Like, there doesn't seem to be a through line with Jersey drag. Cause I know there isn't a huge Jersey drag scene, though. Like, the Jersey drag scene is not very big. Jersey go to Philly, they go to New York City. They. They even go over to Pennsylvania to do drag.

[Monét X Change]

Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, no, Jersey. Yeah. Other parts of Pennsylvania, like, probably Pittsburgh or maybe. I don't know. I mean, no one really goes to Pittsburgh if you're from. If, like, Pittsburgh is so far. Pittsburgh is so far away from everything else in. On the. On the East. That is kind of wild.

[Monét X Change]

But I think her face is very beautiful. And I do like this thing. I just hate. Like, that should have just been. It should have been a gown. I don't understand why she just threw. She just. It should have been a gown with a slit. Like, why are you giving us this little mini skirt in the front? I thought. I thought that was such a weird choice.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I don't need all this feathers and tulle on the back. I would have. I would have preferred that this, whatever is going on in the bodice, continue to the floor without the feathers and leave this train thing off. That's what I would have preferred.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. And I like her entrance line. Yeah, I envy. Me too. I think that's a good entrance line. I like, I think it's good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm not here to play, I'm here to fight. I said, okay, let's see.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, she said that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's what she said. I'm not here to play, I'm here to fight. I said, all right, Ms. Thing, work. Let's move on to Acacia. Forgot this. She said, totally tubular.

[Monét X Change]

Tubular. She loves the 80s. This is an 80s queen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do not like what I'm looking at.

[Monét X Change]

You know, I didn't. But seeing it here, I don't hate it as much. Like, I do think this, it is very 80s. This is a very. From the hair to the fucking blush to the colors and like, and, and, and, and the, the exaggerated sleeve, this feels very 80s. And seeing it in this, like, I honestly, I'm not doing a bit. I honestly don't hate it. I, I think it, I like it. I think, I think with different hair, I think it would have been cooler. But I, I, I don't hate this outfit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I also don't see how a bolo tie goes with what she's wearing at all. In out of drag, she looks like she's like 25 in drag. She legit looks 43.

[Monét X Change]

Jesus Christ.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, I don't know. She actually wants to be the next big thing in country music. Trixie found dead.

[Monét X Change]

Did you just see? She's talking about you laughing at her video and in Entertainment Weekly.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What'd she say?

[Monét X Change]

She was like, it was nice. She was like. She's like, no, I saw that. She's like. She's like, I didn't watch it, but people sent it to me. She was like, but that was. She basically said, that was my old music. My new music is really good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, gang, gang. I can't wait to catch the new stuff.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Let's go on to Miss Lucky Stars. Lucky Stars walks in and says, oh, daddy, I think I stained, I think I stained the sheets. I think that's funny. This is an explosion, a confection of color and texture. And I think this is a really, really, really cool look. I don't know if she's supposed to be a melted candle or I don't know what she's supposed to be. What is she?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She seems like Lumiere. Only thing I don't like is that the pain stops at her ankles. Besides that, the pain stopping at her ankles really gave me fever. But besides that, I love this look.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, it was really cool. I can be honest when I see girls like her and wanting to do this. My brain can't even conceptualize how this is. Obviously, I know they're adhering paper and stuff to their face, but I need to, like, see how it's done because I'm such a sweaty girl. I don't know how the paper doesn't, like, sweat and slide off. Even using Pros Aide or something, it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Was weird to me that they decided to do the. I mean, we'll get there in a second. So then RuPaul enters the workroom. Lana Jarret has won the first challenge. They didn't realize it was a challenge. They were doing a photo shoot during that squirrel game challenge. And Lana wins $2,500. And then we find out the queens who. Then they find out that they're gonna be split into two groups. Two queens. Two groups of queens will be performing in a talent show. Drag Race Got Talent. And they have to decide who's doing it.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Which I think is cool. Roop Ru is giving them enough rope to hang themselves. Let them choose the order. Whatever. Whatever. It's giving them more autonomy. So you're basically. So you can choose, be in charge of your own destiny more. And in the first group, we have Acacia, Lucky, Susie, Jewel, Arrietty, Butthole, and Joella.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They started de dragging. And Corey King has. Has shown an interest in Lydia. Arrietty has shown an interest in Lucky, and Arrietty is trying to flirt, and it is incredibly awkward.

[Monét X Change]

Girl, she laying on. She's laying on thick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's like, how are we? We are. We are flirty. And Lucky was, like, flirty with y'all flirty. She's like. I was like, damn, Lucky. You ain't giving her no regular flirty.

[Monét X Change]

No, I think it's cute. Listen, I mean, also. But you. You. You can't be that horny. You bitch. You've been there for, like, a couple days.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How you.

[Monét X Change]

Are you? Are you that horny already?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I certainly can't. I certainly can.

[Monét X Change]

That's. You're thirsty for other girls in the competition already.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'd be horny in it. Don't take me more than a couple hours to get horny, Monet.

[Monét X Change]

But I mean enough to like to be laying it on thick for other bitches in a competition.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are they sexy? You being in my competition does not inherently make you unattractive. I don't get how. I don't get how you competing against me inherently makes you unattractive. Because if I would have thought you were attractive on the outside. I would think you were attractive here, too.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Because you losing to me would make me feel sorry for you, so, like, that would make me. That makes you lose less attractive when I feel sorry for you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm not even going to engage with that line of thinking. I'm just going to let that sit where it is, and you got it. But there. There is. There. There's always a thirsting moment after the. After the. The thing. Did you thirst after any of these.

[Monét X Change]

Girls, Monet, this season or, like, my seasons this season? No, none of them are really my fanciest. See, no, I'm not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm not. The cast of season 13 is a bunch of hideous dogs. Um, shall we continue?

[Monét X Change]

Honestly, I do think Alexa Love's love is really hot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So Corey does not want to be on week one, and the two country girls want to be on separate weeks, and then Arrieta and Lana. Arrietty. Arrietty, sorry. And Lana Jarrett also want to be on separate weeks. So other than that, everyone is pretty chill about going where they go. Yeah.

[Monét X Change]

Because Arrietty and Lana haven't had. They formed the Lions. They have formed the alliance very quickly. Like, the competition just started, and they're like, we're gonna have each other's back. Which is. I. I think it's wise if you're gonna split it up, have someone on your back on the other week that can prop you. That's gonna put you at number one, so you have better odds that you don't land in the bottom for sure.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Except Joella. Joella really wants to go this week because she wants Katy Perry to perform, which is. Makes sense. That makes sense to me.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Which week would you want to go?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Um, I wouldn't care, to be honest.

[Monét X Change]

We'll choose one bitch. Give a. Give us an option.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'd be happy to go first, but, like, I wouldn't be like, I gotta go first. I gotta go second. I'd be happy to go first so I can sit and chill next week.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, I would. I would. I would want to go in the first group, but if someone really wanted.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

To, I'd be like, okay, whatever. I don't care. Like, I would. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be fighting, like, if I was. If Whoopi Goldberg was the guy I really want to perform on for week one.

[Monét X Change]

You know what I mean? Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But other than that. Other than that, I wouldn't really care. Like, I'd be like, I'm happy to perform Next week, if someone is just like, if Joella was dying to do it and I was the one stopping her, I'd be like, girl, you can go. It's not that big of a deal to me.

[Monét X Change]

I'm sure you said it. I just don't remember. Did you ever say what you do for talent?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. I mean, I probably said I would try to do stand up, but I'd most like to do a funny song.

[Monét X Change]

A funny song? But, like, what? I mean, you can't just be a funny. What's the concept, bitch?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I haven't given that much thought because I don't plan on going back on Drag Race, but if I have the.

[Monét X Change]

Drag queen who has a million ideas a day. You've never thought what you're going to do for a talent show on Drag Race? I don't believe it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've never given any serious consideration like, I've thought of.

[Monét X Change]

I thought.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it was of all time, but I haven't given any serious consideration for what I would do if I went back on Drag Race for a talent show, because I never did a talent show. That was never part of my experience. I just don't think. I just don't think about it very often.

[Monét X Change]

You also never had to do a read your Richie Voz, but you've written 19 verses for 19 seasons.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, but I do those for online because those are easy to produce. And I have done tons of talent. I have done funny songs since being on Drag Race. To be clear, you can go check out my song Booty, which is available right now. I have done funny songs since being on Drag Race, but you have to just accept my truth. I just have not given it a.

[Monét X Change]

Ton of thought what I would do.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm sorry to break the news to you.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, apologize.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't spend my days thinking about, you know, how to do my talent show on Drag Race, which I will never end up doing.

[Monét X Change]

Go ahead.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So then they go over to the. They start doing their makeup, and Acacia says that she's gonna do an original song. Lydia says that she was. And a couple of girls are doing original songs. There's, like, quite a few girls. Susie's doing an original song. Lucky Star is doing an original song. What do you think about the original song? Panace, the route.

[Monét X Change]

Listen, I think the original song is good because then you're saying exactly what you want as opposed to trying to do, you know, listening to Ariana Grande or whatever you get. They get the rights that you can do. So I think the original song you have a lot of time to practice your shit and come up with a creative concept that feels more signature, you know? So I think the creative song route is good. It's just making a good one. It's making a good one that the judges are gonna find. You know, they want something funny. Although there have been some fierce ones. Right. Jewel. You know, spoiler alert. Jewel wasn't funny, but it was fierce. And they liked the other girls, rated it high.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you've done two talent shows.

[Monét X Change]

I have two area. Right, too.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

One you did. What about Nick Herbert? One you did an original song, and one you did an aria. And how did you feel? Like, so. But you were safe the first time. And did you win the second time?

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, I won a second time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. So original songs can be a good choice.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, they can. But I think mine was also different as an aria. I mean, I could have written.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I could have written. We're talking about original songs. I'm talking about when you did the original song. I said, you can be safe doing an original song.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, yeah, for sure. But I'm saying that. No. Cause you said original songs can. Yeah, yeah. Original songs can be safe. And I was just saying, like, I could have written maybe an original aria that would have been even fierce. I don't fucking know, but.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, maybe that would. Maybe. Yeah. So if you would have written aria, then maybe you could have won. Maybe. But people have. I mean, obviously people have won with original songs. You wouldn't be the first person to win with original song. Obviously. This week, Susie II won with the original song.

[Monét X Change]

I have to get a composer. Oh, my God, that sounds great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did you go to college with composers?

[Monét X Change]

I did. I don't keep up with any of them. Though I did meet a fierce Hollywood composer the other day who was. He does a lot of big stuff.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyway, about to become the age, by the way, me and. Me and Mateo talking about this recently, when you are rounding 40, people start reaching out to you again. Something about being. Tell me if you're 40. Ish. Tell me if you have friends. Once you turn 40, people start reaching back out, being like, hey, I'm turning 40. I want to reach out. It's a really odd thing that happens.

[Monét X Change]

What? Reach out about what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. Being 40. They just want to reach out to old friends. It's really strange. It's a whole thing. I swear it's real. So Lydia said that she wants to judge fairly. Lydia's like, I'm gonna judge fairly. Would you judge fairly?

[Monét X Change]

Um, I Mean, I would probably try to start an alliance with someone and whatever we wanted, whatever we decided to do together, which if I'm starting an alliance and the answer is probably no, I'm gonna. I'm. I'm gonna help that person out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you're there with Cracker and Aquaria and Yuha Masaki, and you are the New York City girls, and you have an opportunity to save each other. Are you going to do it or it's going to be fair?

[Monét X Change]

I would if they agreed to it. I feel like a query wouldn't. Aquaria would not join the lions. Cracker and Yuha. Would aquarium be like a query wouldn't. And I'll. And I'll. And I'll.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Give me your aquarium impersonation.

[Monét X Change]

Huh?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Were you about to do your aquarium person? I haven't talked to her in so long. I hope she's okay.

[Monét X Change]

I know, I know. I haven't talked to. Yeah, I love Aquaria, but Aquaria would absolutely not participate in an alliance at all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Talking to Aquaria is so funny because she also talks to herself while she's talking to you.

[Monét X Change]

That is very true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, she will have a full side conversation with herself while she's talking to you.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's wild. So Katy Perry walks in, and she recognizes Joella. She's a Katy cat. Um, girl. They have, like, a cute little moment.

[Monét X Change]

Joellen's overcome with emotion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's actually holding it together pretty well. While Katy Perry's in the room. While Katy Perry's in the room. She actually holds together pretty well.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. I mean, you must have to go to a lot of. She'd been to a lot of Katy Perry meet and greets for Katy Perry to know her that well by drag name.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's like, oh, Joel, hey, girl like you.

[Monét X Change]

You still come over tomorrow? Oh, no, you'll be here. Okay, well, just hit me up when you get back.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, Very. The. Hey, girl, you need a ride home?

[Monét X Change]

Literally. So she must spend a lot of money on Katy Perry meet and greets. And Katy Perry is a Joella fan.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Katy Perry said, I think the way to win is to play with your alter ego. I want to say, bitch, how would you know how to win Drag Race? I would have been like, thank you for your advice, but bitch, sing firework and hit it. You don't. Don't give us no advice how to win Drag Race. You wouldn't know how to win Drag Race, honey. Okay. And then she asked for tucking tape. And she puts her foot on the table. You can see her little sticker on the. Something about her sticker on the bum where she was sending me the size sticker. I don't know why that sends me.

[Monét X Change]

But real.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's her time ever wearing that shoe. I feel like she had never worn that shoe. She busted out the new drag for Drag Race, honey.

[Monét X Change]

100. That's. That's real. Honey. Katy Perry's not. If. Not if. She's nothing, she's real. Remember that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you think Katie Perry is nothing. That's crazy. Um, let's go on to the Runway, which I thought was weird. They did it before this talent show. Is that weird, right?

[Monét X Change]

No, that's how they always do it. Because then you do the runways and then you do the thing. Cause you present their thing and then sit down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Interesting. Acacia. Forgot. I don't like it.

[Monét X Change]

Horrible. First of all, if he's gonna be a snowman, why is he sad? Like, why is a snowman sad? He should be happy. He's on Drag Race, girl. Like, that's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why is he a snowman? Is it because it airs in January?

[Monét X Change]

Maybe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Y'all know how hot it was when they filmed this?

[Monét X Change]

I hate it. I don't like it. Let's see. I think it's a good look, Joe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, the case. By the way, the category is mask for mask, right?

[Monét X Change]

Oh, yeah. Mask for mask. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Joella, what is the. She keeps doing this silhouette. It is a catsuit with a bunch of crazy shit on it and a cape. I'm not saying Cuba. I've seen it twice now. This is her. I'm starting to think that this is Joella's signature drag, which is the crazy catsuit.

[Monét X Change]

It's wild to me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't like it.

[Monét X Change]

And, girl, you just put a plate in front of you. That's not a mask. You just put a plate in front of you and just reveal to this. It's just this class suit is not the most flattering thing. It's not particularly sickening, but I just love. I'm not even doing a bit, y'all. I love how confident she feels. I love that Joella's like, bitch, I'm sickening. None of you bitches could never. I'm obsessed with that mentality.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are these shoes too big?

[Monét X Change]

I think they're a little too big.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Never been a problem for me. That's not true. I once borrowed a pair of shoes from Trixie that were too big. And I borrowed a pair of shoes from you that were too big.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. One time I Bought some shoes from Bond that were a little.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now, that ain't true. I have borrowed shoes from Trixie and Monet that have been too big. That's true. What I'm saying is literally just true. Monet and Trixie both historically, documentedly have bigger feet than me.

[Monét X Change]

I don't think documentedly is a word.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's what I. Well, it is.

[Monét X Change]

Now let's go on to jewels. Sparkle. Multiple jewels. And they're all sparkling.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I hate it. What?

[Monét X Change]

This is a great look.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I hate the name.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, got it, Got it. This looks fantastic. Was fucking gorgeous. I love. What kind of pleats are these called? You. You probably know in your little fashion head. Your.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. They just like regular pleats to me.

[Monét X Change]

No, there's a name for it. Marco. Marco made me something that had this. They're called like knife pleats or ribbon. Some kind of. Anyway, this was really cool. This was a mask that she revealed. I think that the color looks beautiful on her. I love how the gloves or the hand things went over her finger, the middle finger, the volume of this. The matching shoes. She looked absolutely stunning. This was a beautiful garment.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm having a hard time recognizing them out of drag. This is the one with the back problems and the curly hair, right?

[Monét X Change]

Yes. Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Okay. Got it. Yeah, Yeah. I loved her whole storyline this whole episode. I was so happy to see her. I was really happy for her. She has some really, really great moments. Episode. She looks absolutely stunning here. She has been looking pretty consistently great. Is she the one who looked like Spice dressed in sugar? Yes.

[Monét X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I think she looks fantastic. Yeah, I really think she looks great. Love it.

[Monét X Change]

Let's go on to Ms. Arrietty in this fucking dope ass look as well. I love, again, a mask. I love how she had this blood motif continue on through the whole thing. The little capelet of Draclet thing I think was really cool is the thing. Is her mask supposed to be some type of version of a dream catcher? Am I. Am I bugging?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not that I know. I don't. I don't understand. She said that she's like some elven goddess or elven something who was attacked by her people. So maybe it's like sort of a magic thing where the feathers are floating around her head and they shot through them. I wasn't fully following the story, to be honest.

[Monét X Change]

It was a little convoluted.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But she looked stunning and I know that.

[Monét X Change]

I mean, I do hate. I hate. My only critique on this is a mermaid that Starts at the knee when it just has that line.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't have that strong feelings about.

[Monét X Change]

It, to be honest. Really? How do you not do that? I think it was with Naomi. Do you put a godet to make that not happen? How do you not like two God days on the side?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I'm not like some seamstress or something. But if you put godets on the side, then you have what's called a trumpet, Right? It's more of a trumpet. And then if you add a giant one to the back, then you end up with a train. It's not really a mermaid. A mermaid kind of has to start at the knee. If you want it to be an actual mermaid, it has to be that big circle thing. It doesn't have to be. But I don't know any other way to make it, quite frankly.

[Monét X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I have made dresses that have trains and godets on each side before that just kind of have this volume at the bottom. But if you wanted to have that big. I mean, I like when. I like when a mermaid is giant. When it. Like if you look at the way like. Like Alexa Mateo has done a few where it comes from the knee, but it's massive.

[Monét X Change]

Who the fuck is Lexi Taylor Lexus Mateo. Oh, got it, got it, got it, got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It comes from the knee, but it's huge. I do prefer one of those.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, let's go on to Ms. Butthole. I don't understand what I'm looking at. I did not like this. I didn't think it was cool. This is not for me at all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't get it, but I don't mind it, you know? Like, I don't think it looks bad, but it is weird. Like she's an alien, I guess. And the mask is her entire. But also, remember, she loves puppets. She's the puppet queen.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, yeah, true. And like, this kind of looks like the puppet she does in a talent show. Like, the face of it. Like, is this, like, her. Her signature? Is this her puppet? Like her fucking the movie? Jacob knows the Golden Compass when they had a little familiars. Is this her? Like a puppet version of her familiar?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. They're called demons or demons Damons.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Interesting. The thing around her head was cool.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Let's go to Lucky Stars. She's a piece of pizza, which I think from the tits up. I like this. This corset gets really weird. Her hip padding is kind of strange. And again, why does it always stop at the ankles with her?

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. I don't know why she just. Just paint the rest of it or, like, embellish the rest. That seems. That does strain. Not even the ankles, bitch. The shins. It stops at the shins.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I don't like that. She keeps stopping there. Like, girl, you went all the way to the top of your head. You can't just continue down to your feet.

[Monét X Change]

Also, I will say I love this. I love her drag. It's really cool. But I mean, I will say we kind of get into the same thing. Big thing on her head, like three times in the episode. There's a little, you know, you gotta be a little careful with that on Drag Race. Cause they will read you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go over to Susie Toot also.

[Monét X Change]

Is it a mask? Did she have a mask?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, she had a pizza box.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, right, right, right, right, right, right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Right, right, right, right. Susie Toot. I gotta say, the reveal, I'm not saying. I'm not saying. But what I am saying, I'm not saying this. I'm saying this. And what this is, is to reveal.

[Monét X Change]

To that face is crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But what I'm not saying is anything about her face. I'm just saying revealing to that face is wild. Is a bold choice. I would never be so bold.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, my God, this fucking wig. What the fuck is that? This is crazy. This is crazy. To show up on Drag Race. This is crazy. But we trust.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Her lipstick is gonna start driving me crazy. Like, it's gonna start getting to me.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. In tooth we trust. 1933. You're right. She's an old time gal.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She likes what she likes.

[Monét X Change]

What did you say a few seasons ago that you hate when girls do reckon to time gone by? I think with somebody you're like, what are you trying to remember?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, is that 60s housewifey drag that I don't like? I don't like that. What are you trying to harken to these times for?

[Monét X Change]

Oh, it's so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why are we trying to make America that time again?

[Monét X Change]

You know what I mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Suzanne Toot. I did like when someone said, you know what really made me cackle out loud was when Michelle said, if I had a nickel, you should see what I do for a quarter. I cackled. If I had a nickel, you should see what I do for a quarter. Let's go on Tori King. She looks like Dana Ross. I love this look. Yeah, Fantastic.

[Monét X Change]

It was my only thing she revealed right at the top of the thing. She didn't give her. She. She didn't let her Look, Cook at all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She turned this, this, this. This is.

[Monét X Change]

This bitch. Like, she didn't walk. She didn't even step. I was like, girl, give us time to take it in and give us the drama.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How tall is she? Is she tall or not?

[Monét X Change]

She's tall for sure. There's no way. This bitch is not. I'm gonna say at least six'one Corey King.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know you're listening. How tall are you?

[Monét X Change]

You don't know she's listening? Don't be so presumptuous.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She listens. Let's go on to Harmona Lisa.

[Monét X Change]

Harmona Lisa.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What was her mask again?

[Monét X Change]

She was a skunk, which I thought was interesting. I would never think to be a skunk, but it did feel more helmet. Like her and Susie had helmets on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I think this. I think this look is cute, though. I think it's. Yeah, it's cute. I like this look. I think she looks good.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, it was cool. I liked. I thought it was a good look. Let's go on to Ms. Crystal Envy, who is doing the face crack of the century. And I thought this was a very smart, cool mask. Something I would never think about. She did the hair reveal to whatever. But why this hideous dress? Like, I guess she's trying to do like a doll. Like a doll baby. But isn't. Isn't that a cuter doll baby? You could have been, instead of this fucking ugly shit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. I like this. I think this looks really good. I actually wish she had kept this big hair on as opposed to revealing to the ponytail. Because this hair, that big hair, looks like the hair that would be on a baby doll that size. And the ponytail just wasn't fierce enough for me. But I think this look is so cool. I like the fact that it cracks open and it wraps around the hair. This is a really, really cool look. And I like the dress. I'm into this look.

[Monét X Change]

I like the dress. I love the. I love the hair and the face crack. I think it's, like, the engineering of it all look, because it's. It was on her face. It wasn't floppy doppy. It wasn't. It was great. But I don't. I don't like this dress at all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go on to Lexi Love. And I loved the way she walked out.

[Monét X Change]

It was really cool. Sing that again, Bob. Even interpolate.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You could literally never. I thought this look was really cool. I love this look. I thought Lexi looked really cool on this look.

[Monét X Change]

I think so, too. And to have, like, A quilted look on and have it cinch to the waist like that. Brilliant. And people said, Monash, but she's wearing a helmet. You didn't read her. But I think the look was so cool that I was. I looked over the helmet of it all, and it just. It looked really cool. And I said what I said, and I think she killed it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I don't mind that there are some helmets in that mask. I don't care about that. Um, because it's easy. Like, for example, Alana Jarret was moving to her. This could be considered a helmet too. Cause it. It goes around her whole head. What was really bothering me the most is that it was. Hers wasn't stable. Like, when it was. It was like flopping and she had to hold it. That was. You get really uncomfortable as an audience member when you watch someone having to take care of their garment on stage because they're afraid it's gonna get harmed. Um, so I did not love that. And the. But the cat suit's pretty cool, though.

[Monét X Change]

I wish it went down to the. To the toes. And I don't understand these gloves. Do you get the gloves? I don't understand why her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're like cat hands. Like, sometimes cat's fingers are different colors than the paws. Like their paw. Their fingers are. You know, the little fingers be different colors than rest their paws sometimes.

[Monét X Change]

I mean, I have a cat. I. I get it. But that doesn't. It doesn't look like that. Like, it looks like she just had a cat suit and she had a black. A black opera left glove under it. And she put a little holsters on it. I. I didn't love that. But I did think the cat. The cat head was cool.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's move on to Onya Nerve. I do not like this look. And I want to like on ya Nerve so bad because I love her personality. But, like. And I think what it was. I loved her look so much during the promo. So I'm just surprised by what we're getting visually here on the season. Cause I thought her look during the promo was really, really cool.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, this was an interesting outfit. Just looked like a lot going on. And it doesn't like. Yeah, it doesn't look really great. Like, and. And it. And there is a way to make this silhouette and this thing. I've seen it like someone take a bunch of different materials and fabrics and textures and make it look really cool. But this hair is also not great. Yeah, it's a tough look.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Let's move on to Sam Star, you know, this look is perfectly fine. This feels like a hat. I just wanna say. And I know there's the helmet, the mask, the whatever. This is just a hat.

[Monét X Change]

This bitch is wearing a hat.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I also did not like the wig underneath the hat. I thought it was. I did not like. If the point is the mask, then I don't like this look.

[Monét X Change]

I don't understand also what is like. Yes, you're a rain cloud. Raining. But is this like a rainbow supposed to be coming through?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Rainbow. There's rainbow after the rain.

[Monét X Change]

Got it. Don't like it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, same.

[Monét X Change]

Let's talk about the talent shows. Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So during the talent show, Jules Sparkles does La Leche. And I thought there was some funny part. I think she's a really good performer. But the fact that her boobs did not shoot milk is just crazy. That's crazy. The fact that her boobs didn't shoot milk is insane.

[Monét X Change]

That would have been a nice touch, actually. I didn't think about that. But, yeah, I think she's a very obviously. I love the ponytail review. She's a good dancer and a good performer. I did think as she was doing it, I was like, ooh, girl, you're doing all your tricks, girl. All your tricks. Which is I always play. The downfall of doing the talent show at the beginning of the season, it's like these girls are busting out their tricks. Well, the ones who decide to do a number and lip sync and dance like that, like they're giving us all that they have at the top of the season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What if those aren't all her tricks, though?

[Monét X Change]

Maybe you're right. Maybe. Maybe there are more. I mean, she lip syncs later on and we didn't see anything different. But, you know, who knows?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe she's the pacing queen. Who knows?

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go to Arrietty. Arrietty, this nose contour with this outfit was very upsetting. Yeah, it was very upsetting. I was like, I'm angered by looking at this because her every. Every other thing about her hair, her makeup, her garment, her everything was very like standard drag or even like traditional garb. And then just this random nose in the middle of it all just really threw me off.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. And I think. And she did a traditional dance, which was dope. Cool. Love it. I think a way that she could have made it more interesting was keep on taking off layers of the skirt, but still to give her the drama. But I don't know, just do take off more to give it. To make it A little more exciting. It just felt. Once she started doing it at the beginning, that's all we got for the entire thing. I wish she varied it a bit more and give us a little more to take away from the summer was just all kind of one note.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. It wasn't. It wasn't super fantastic. And I don't know how that dance is. The truth is, if anyone listening is a. Or watching is a practitioner of this kind of dance. If you perform this as well. How did she do. Did she do it really, really well? Did she do a really good job, or did she do a just fine job, or did she do a bad job? I don't know. I literally don't know. I've only ever seen a few people. I saw. What's her name, Yara Sofia do this on Drag Race before.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I've heard. And Cynthia Lee Fontaine and I have talked about it. I think it's a Puerto Rican thing.

[Monét X Change]

And was. And was. Yara's good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, Yara Sofia did it during comedy challenge.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, it wasn't Yara Sofia. Yara Sofia did it during a comedy challenge, but someone else did it during a lip sync or something.

[Monét X Change]

You talking about coke, Montreal, yellow things.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no, y'all. So if you did it during comedy challenge and then someone else did it during a lip sync or something. I can't really. A girl. All these episodes later, my brain started turning to mush. You know what I mean?

[Monét X Change]

Let's go into Ms. Butthole, who she did an original song, and she starts as her butthole puppet, which was really cool. The using the bravado with the jaw of the puppet was really, really dope. And then she reveals. And then she reveals a puppet. I thought this was like a. A safe number. It wasn't exciting. It wasn't horrible. It was safe to me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. And I think after the face, this puppet is up to the head, which is, by the way, I want to say, just to be clear, I could never make that.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I could never make that. But once you get past the head of this puppet, this puppet's really poorly made. Like, the body is really. I could make the bottom of this puppet easily, and I honestly feel like I could probably do it in less than three hours. Like, I really think I could. I could make that in less than three hours easily without. Without ever having a lesson. And it started off really strong, and then they just kind of got whack to me.

[Monét X Change]

To me. Yeah, Yeah, I agree.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I did love the. The face of the puppet is really, really cool. And Susie Toot is, like, having. Susie Toot is obsessed with this. Like, I'm obsessed with the fact that Susie Toot is so obsessed with this performance.

[Monét X Change]

Cause this puppet looks like it has a little featherhead. It looks like little 1920s, 1930s puppets.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Susie, like, you're right.

[Monét X Change]

Let's go on to Lucky's lemonade stand where she's doing her lemonade number. She is. It's an original song. She's squirting lemonade out her tips. Bryce is trying to catch the lemonade to drink it. She has lemon, lemon boobs, lemonade, lemons on her ass. And she has a big lemon head. I think this was a very exciting number. It was really fun. Anytime you're squirting shit on the stage and getting it dirty and dancing and shit, I'm having a good time. So I, I, I enjoyed this number.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would really love this number in the club. If I saw this number in the club, I would absolutely be obsessed. I love her eye makeup during this. It is so cool. How gigantic is her head is this big bucket of lemonade? I wonder how much of this she made ahead of time. I'm just so curious as to what goes into the process of making a Lucky Stars costume or outfit, you know?

[Monét X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I really love this number. I thought it was really well done. Yeah. Let me move on to Joella.

[Monét X Change]

No, not just Joella. The Asian diva of Los Angeles. Self, reflection.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Deslation.

[Monét X Change]

Desalian. Desalian diva of Los Angeles.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

At one point, she stopped the number and she said, y'all thought. Stop the music. Y'all thought that was sickening. And I was like, no, I didn't. I have. To be honest. I didn't. I have to keep it a buck with you. I do not.

[Monét X Change]

Also, these shoes. I gagged the shoes. The shoes gagged me. The shoes took me out from the top of the number. I was gagged.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm becoming obsessed with Joella.

[Monét X Change]

That's what I said, Bob. It do take nerve, the confidence it takes to be this bitch. I'm obsessed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I am becoming Joella Obsessed. Obsess.

[Monét X Change]

She is. She don't care.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Y'all thought that was sickening.

[Monét X Change]

No, but you thought she was sick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's move on to Acacia Forgot.

[Monét X Change]

Nuh. Not just Acacia. Forgot the country.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This your new bit. I'm obsessed with this bit. This is a great bit.

[Monét X Change]

Girl. You know what? I will say her talent should have just been playing the guitar. I know. She's a singer. She Likes to sing. But her guitar playing was very impressive. Okay. She would have got up there and just did a bunch of fingerings and stuff. That would have been impressive enough. But she added the singing. The singing was. The singing was good. I'm saying the singing was bad. But all in all, just. I think she just focused on the guitar and, like, with some really crazy trills and finger patterns. That would have been really gag worthy because we've never seen that before.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Didn't Trixie do the thing?

[Monét X Change]

I forgot what it's called.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Harpsichord.

[Monét X Change]

No, the harpsichord looks like a piano. This is called something else. It's not a harpsichord.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Whatever. But didn't Trixie do that for her talent?

[Monét X Change]

She did and she sang. Well, hers is a slow song.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think she sang as well. She sang what I thought interesting was, like, from the instruments I was hearing, the guitar was the one I wanted to see the least. If she would've got up there and started fiddling and I mean, not violin and fiddling. The milk jungle. I believe it was called an auto harpoon. Start going. That would have been Vox in 60 seconds.

[Monét X Change]

What do you want this bitch to do?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, the banjo is a very impressive instrument. Like, to see someone play a banjo is bananas, y'all. And you should say, she says she plays the banjo.

[Monét X Change]

Well, she should have done that maybe. But yeah, I think. I think her playing would have been impressive because, yeah, we still seen some. Honestly, next season, can someone do a piano? I was the one to come on stage and get. Who?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You've already seen it.

[Monét X Change]

Who?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Her name is the Reverend Sookie Nutmega Knox. Play piano.

[Monét X Change]

Oh, did she. Was it good? Did she win?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She did not win, and it was not good.

[Monét X Change]

Well, I want a classical piano. I want someone to get up there and be like, give me some Rach Mononol. Give me some Chopin and fuck it up. That's what I want. I would gag.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I want them to give him play Chopsticks.

[Monét X Change]

Okay, got it. Thank you, Jacob. Jacob is coming through. Jacob said, I am working today.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's move on to who came out and did a tap routine and an original song. Sorry, are we boring you, bitch? No, sorry, I just. No. The answer is no, you're not. Because I actually really enjoyed this number. It was fun.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah, this is a good number, Suzy. Good. I mean, I'm not versed in tapping. I'm not like, this bitch, like, wants a lot of tapping or I don't go to school with theater people that tapped. So I don't know what's good. Tapping. What's bad tapping? I mean, that's not true. Bob is showing me the fucking Sutton Foster 20s apartment 19 million times. But that's also. I recognize that's like the top tier of tapping. So I would. Top tier.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would say top tier. Like Savion Glover. Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, Elizabeth Powell. I would say Joe Robinson though. That is some top tier tapping.

[Monét X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

In my opinion.

[Monét X Change]

Well, yeah, I think Susie did a great job. I was entertained by the number. It was great, albeit her face and how she looks, you know, whatever. But the number was very entertaining. She did a great job.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So then what ends up happening is lucky Arietta and Lydia are safe. Arrietty and Lydia are all safe. And then Acacia is the bottom queen of the week. And Acacia says she was one of the only queens to show true talent.

[Monét X Change]

Which is such a. Like, what do you mean true talent? That's so stupid. True talent because you sang and played instrument, that's true talent. So Susie wasn't doing a talent dancing that Jewel did is not talent. That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was an overproduced song.

[Monét X Change]

Well, and she in the bottom looking sad and sad, bald headed and confused. Which leaves Jewel Sparkle and Suzy Toot as the top two queens of the week. They lip sync and what did you think of the lip sync they do?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Woman's World by Katy Perry. And to be honest, I thought that Jules won. I thought Jules performance was better. And Susie's tap dancing didn't even go in time with the music. And when she started doing a little toe, I was like, girl, if you don't fucking start huffing, if you don't start doing. It's a woman's world and I'm lucky to be living in like, girl, tap. If you're gonna say you're the ten tapping toes of Philly or wherever the hell you're from, things start to happen.

[Monét X Change]

Well, I think that she was referencing her Morse code thing from her earlier number. And also I.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you know Morse code?

[Monét X Change]

I mean, I know sos.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If she would have did that, if she would have hit them with that, she would've been like, this bitch is about to be in trouble. Somebody better help this bitch. K, K, you are the nine tapping toes of Tampa.

[Monét X Change]

What happened to the tenth one?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did it fall? That's what she said.

[Monét X Change]

Um, yeah, but I mean, I disagree only because we had just seen Jewel do literally Jewel with. Before the first chorus, Jewel did a spin, a split and it was just like, girl, like, I think that Jules got excited and I'M calling her Jewel. Jules got excited and she wanted to win so bad, and she just gave us all of it before the first chorus. And then she had nowhere to go. At least Susie paced herself and she gave us, like, a little more of a performance of a show, you know what I mean? That's why I think Susie won.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I guess. So Susie 2 ends up winning. She wins $5,000. She's the first winner. And then she says they finally see that I'm a threat. Girl, it's the first episode.

[Monét X Change]

I mean, the first girl that wins. Like when Mayhem won our first episode.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They finally see. Finally.

[Monét X Change]

Got it. Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm like, girl, she was talking to girls back home. That ain't had nothing to do with these girls here. Girl, that was a vendetta you had from back at the house. These girls, she had been witnessing it for a long time. And finally. And nobody.

[Monét X Change]

Where's she from?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Tampa, I think.

[Monét X Change]

And nobody in all of Tampa. No drag queen that there is or was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No butch queen that there is or was.

[Monét X Change]

I said, she is never gonna see me, T. Literally.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, girl, okay, you got some trauma to work out. And that's fair.

[Monét X Change]

That's fair. I mean, we'll see. We'll see how this ends up going for Susie, but hopefully she get this fucking makeup together. I can't. I can't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So next week, Acacia forgot, is going to be lip syncing against somebody who's going to end up in the bottom. You want to predict who's going to be in the bottom for the next group?

[Monét X Change]

Who's the next group?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, yeah, who is the next group? Actually, no, it's not predict. I don't want to predict because I honestly can't remember them at this point. It's too early. It's too early to remember people.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. But that being said, we have our first. You know, I gotta be honest. This group. I think we need to go back to shooting the promo during the first episode, because I. The difference between that and. Is crazy.

[Monét X Change]

But they've been doing that for. Since season 10. No, since, like, season 12. And this is fine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This one. This one was. I have not seen one this jarring between how you were and how you are.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Is how you were.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, I. It gagged me. I was truly gagged at how they looked versus how I thought they were gonna look. Like, genuinely. I was shook.

[Monét X Change]

I'd agree. I'd agree.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We need to go back to shooting during the season.

[Monét X Change]

All right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cause you're in your season.

[Monét X Change]

Yeah. Ours happened episode two. Right after episode two.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monét X Change]

All right, Bob. Well, who's gonna win?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's gonna win? We always do this. Who is gonna win season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race? Who will be the winner?

[Monét X Change]

Okay, no, wait. We don't do top two or top three.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I always say who's gonna win? But we can do whatever we want.

[Monét X Change]

I want to say my top three. I think my top three are Lana Jarret, Jules Sparkle, and Lexi Love. Those are my top three.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, because I ain't no. And I'm not scared. I'm going to pick one. Lingerie is going to be the winner of season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race. Work, Mona's Ray. Congratulations. You are the winner of. You are the America's next drag superstar. Welcome to the winner's circle, sis. Welcome, welcome.

[Monét X Change]

All right, head on over to our Patreon. We're gonna be doing. We're talking about Untucked in our Patreon exclusive content. And we'll see y'all next week for another episode of RuPaul Drag Race Season 17, episode.
