Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Monopulence Challenge Explained

• Theme: The queens compete in a design challenge inspired by Monopoly, gathering colors linked to "properties" and aiming for haute, opulent fashion.
• Mini-Challenge: Queens randomly select colors/materials with added drama as some cards allow for stealing money from others. Alana ends up with the most money after some twists of fate. (“Karma be looking out. She got the one that she got to steal $200 from someone... Still ended up having the most money. Favors the brave." – Monét, 11:12)
• Design Constraints: The colors split between yellow, green, blue, and orange. Queens debate the number of color groups and how the challenge is structured.

Early Workroom Drama & Observations

• Joella’s Star Power: Both hosts are obsessed with local LA queen Joella, her nerve, and talent. (“I am officially obsessed with Joella... she is a key, motherfucking key." – Bob, 02:01)

• Reading & Reactions: Shade is thrown over bumpy zippers, nose contour, and makeup blending into hairlines.

  • “A bumpy zipper is such a good read in drag... I’d be having some bumpy ass zippers, girl.” – Bob, 05:41
  • “Does Lana Jarret’s nose contour look crazy or is it just me?” – Bob, 06:42

• Makeup Pet Peeves: Criticism of makeup extending into hairlines, referencing several queens (“Push your wig back or make your makeup a little bit... Your makeup is going literally into your hair. This is insane.” – Bob, 07:13)

• Sewing Insecurities: Queens admit to little or no sewing experience, leading to speculation on why non-sewers are even cast (for drama!), and whether it’s realistic not to learn basic sewing before appearing.

  • “With two lessons, you can learn to make a dress. It won’t be sickening couture, but you can make a basic dress.” – Bob, 14:29

Notable Workroom Moments

• Susie’s Reluctance to Change: Sticking to her strengths, Susie refuses to pivot from her usual 1920s aesthetic, which the hosts agree is a solid choice. (“Susie’s like, bitch, I’m going to do what I do and I’m going to do it well.” – Monét, 15:43)

• Sewing Terminology Mix-up: Jules misuses "rouging" instead of "ruching", sparking a tangent about sewing jargon and a deep dive into the word "godet".

  • “Rouge is what your grandmother put on her face for her blush. That’s rouge. You’re ruching, Jules.” – Monét, 18:17

• Resource Drama: Material “ownership” causes strife, particularly between Anya and Jules Sparkles over trim, leading to a heated philosophical debate on competition strategy and fairness.

  • “If it’s not on your garment, it’s not yours. It is ours.” – Bob, 30:41

Runway and Looks Discussion ([~37:37–55:07])

Judges/Uplook:

• RuPaul’s casino carpet-esque suit draws comment, but overall, the judges (“RuPaul looks great,” – Monét, 09:49) and guest judges are praised for their looks.

Highlights & Reads:

• Lucky Star: “This is a miss in basically every... I don’t know why she’s wearing those tights.” – Bob, 38:04
• Harmona Lisa: “This gown is beautiful. It fits her body lovely... This outfit is great.” – Bob, 38:58
• Lexi Love: Ambitious concept with bolts of fabric and ostrich feathers, but fell flat in execution.
• Susie: Major surprise of the week, praised for a strong, detailed look inspired by 1920s fashion.
  • “Susie came around the corner... I was not expecting Susie to look so fucking good in a design challenge.” – Monét, 41:27
• Arietty: Universally celebrated, with Monét and Bob both calling her their favorite this week.
  • “Arietty looks absolutely stunning. She was my top queen of the week, for sure.” – Bob, 42:45
• Anya Nerve: Noted for selling her garment with a compelling runway presentation.
  • “She came and she gave a… story arc… In that respect, I think Anya Nerve really turned it.” – Monét, 49:25
• Joella: Club-wear appropriate, but not opulent or impressive by competition standards (“From a perspective of this just being an outfit, it’s honestly not bad... but it’s not opulent.” – Bob, 47:32)
• Sam Star: The winning look, although both hosts preferred Arietty or Jules for the win.
• Jules Sparkles & Crystal Envy: Both receive praise for strong seamstress skills, though shoe color nitpicks arise.
• Lydia Butthole Collins: Confusing look with too many elements ("I don't get it... It's too many elements." – Monét, 46:53), but acknowledged for creativity.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Alliance Drama: The Reddit Queen voting and the revelation of a Lana and Arietty alliance spark game theory chat:

  • “On All Stars it’s a combination of social game and drag skills; Drag Race is mostly drag skills.” – Bob, 24:21

• Workroom Shade:

  • “You just read me yes last night. No, I’m not helping you.” – Monét, 21:08 (on Acacia withholding sewing help from Joella)
  • “She looks like she got lost on a set of Drag Race on her way to Stranger Things. That girl looks like… one of the little kids.” – Monét, 22:00 (on Lydia Butthole)
  • “Butthole. I don't get the butthole the way butthole understands butthole.” – Bob, 47:28

• Lip Sync Finale:

  • “Joella fucking turned. She was kicking them little legs up, girl.” – Monét, 59:00
  • “Lucky Stars took off a shoe. She took off her skirt. Her panties looked weird… There was a lot of fumbles. Poor Lucky Stars.” – Bob, 59:45

Transcript

[A]

I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day, I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like I can't stop. I'm addicted.

[B]

Start your free [e-mail].

[A]

close your eyes.

[C]

Exhale.

[A]

Feel your body relax, and let go of whatever you're carrying today.

[C]

Well, I'm letting go of the worry that I wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800-contacts. Oh, my gosh, they're so fast.

[A]

And breathe.

[C]

Oh, sorry. I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste.

[A]

Visit 1-800-contacts.com today to save on your first order. 1-800-contacts. Just recently. The other day. I was brushing my teeth the other day, and I was. I was like, I have a lot of teeth. I know you make fun of me. And Andy does. I have big teeth, and I have a lot of teeth, and I'm like, I guess I do have a. A big mouth.

[B]

Do I?

[A]

Come on.

[B]

You having big teeth? Is that a thing I do?

[A]

Oh, yeah, That's Andy. One of y' all sobers.

[B]

Anyway, listen, we are. This is sibling watchery. We are reviewing RuPaul's Drag Race episode three, Monopolence. This honestly feels like. This feels like the Wheel of Fortune challenge. Just with Monopoly, we didn't get to steal things.

[A]

You just got what you got. Or did you get to steal?

[B]

No, I mean, with the color, it's just like a design challenge with the colors.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's just a way to use color and looking opulent, though.

[B]

But also, there's an added element of opulence.

[A]

Yes. Opulence was part of the thing. And before we start this episode, I must say, I am. I want to sign up. I want to be the number one contributor, the number one benefactor. I am officially obsessed with Joella, the premier slays and drag queen of Los

[B]

Angeles, the local icon. And we'll get to that when we get to untucked. But, yeah, Joella is a key, motherfucking key.

[D]

She.

[B]

It do take nerve, and she's.

[A]

And she has a lot of it, girl.

[B]

She's nervous. She's nerveful for sure. But getting to the episode. So the girls are walking in from the lip sync and Harmona has officially dunk Michelle Visage. She took one of the things, and now the next girl has a 1 in 9 chance as opposed to a 1 in 5 chance of being able to get back in. So the odds have gone down significantly.

[A]

Yes. Yeah, yeah. And.

[B]

And Cory King is really annoyed, and rightfully so.

[A]

I mean, you want it to be whittled down a little bit. Although the competition just started, I feel. I feel like at this point, as someone who has done Drag Race three times, at this point, there's still the excitement and the energy of being there that I don't think I would be this upset so early on this season. But again, I'm me, she's her. Like, it is what it is, so I understand why she might be a little.

[B]

Also, I'm back on tour. If you guys want to come see me. Monet's on tour too. You can go to seethedrad queen.com and you can go get a ticket to see me in one of these lovely, lovely towns. I'll be calling them out to you. Right. I just finished my show in Brussels.

[A]

How was Brussels?

[B]

Brussels was fantastic. Great crowd. I wore my. My, my look, my trainer's look. Yeah. You can see me in Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin, Zagreb, Amsterdam, Cologne, Hamburg, Paris, Warsaw, Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, London, Manchester. I really need to sell some tickets in Paris, Warsaw. And there's one more, but the other shows are selling really, really well. So if you're in Paris, parlez vous francais? Come see me, Bob.

[A]

What did you say? Glasgow. You have been to the. To the UK Too much to call it Glasgow. It's Glasgow.

[B]

I say. I'm saying Glasgow. Okay.

[D]

Do you know that Brussels, when an

[B]

Australian comes to America, I don't say

[D]

they were grown and cultivated in Brussels.

[B]

Do what?

[D]

Brussels sprouts are called Brussels sprouts because they were grown and cultivated in Brussels.

[B]

I don't believe you.

[A]

That's actually not true. It actually from a. From a. A German farmer who produced them in Winthrop or Winnipeg, Canada. Jacob is the.

[B]

Wait, what?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Okay. I don't believe. So who do you believe?

[D]

One of us is. One of. One of us is telling the truth and one of us is lying.

[B]

One of you is telling the truth?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

I don't believe Jacob. Brussels sprouts originated in the Mediterranean region. Neither one of you. You're both making it up. You're both liars. But anyway, that being said, come see me go to seethedradqueen.com get your tickets, and I would love to see you all there. Monae, we're gonna see you.

[A]

I. If you're watching this video. So that my next cities are. I'm up in Boston, Washington, D.C. toronto, and somewhere else, Portland, Maine. So come and see me in those cities.

[B]

And also, yes, I say Glasgow. But, like, when an Australian person comes to Los Angeles, I don't tell them they can't say Los Angeles.

[A]

They don't say that. They say Los Angeles.

[B]

No, they say Los Angeles. Australians say Australia. Oh, I'm happy to be here in Los Angeles.

[A]

You are. Your Australia accent kind of sounds like Australian with, like, something else I don't know. I can't put my finger on.

[B]

I'm happy to be here in Los Angeles. A lovely place. Absolutely. Love it.

[A]

Absolutely. So, and yeah. Yeah. So back to the episode. So at the top. So Galana is still really upset.

[B]

Move on from Cory King versus Harmon. I want to say I love what Harmonious said. I'm not worried about her and her bumpy zipper.

[A]

Yo.

[B]

A bumpy zipper is such a good read in drag because you don't want a bumpy zipper, but sometimes if you don't know how to sew, you just end up with a bump. I'm guilty. I'd be having some bumpy ass zippers, girl.

[A]

Anything that I probably sold for myself, actually. Weirdly, beside the first thing I ever sold for myself, that, like, black and orange thing that I still have. My zippers were always bumpy. Because, y', all, when you sew the zipper, you're supposed to take the pins and pin it to the things, give it straight. But I'm like, the hell. I was eyeballing the shit. So my zippers stay bumpy. If I made my shit myself, I

[B]

figured how not to do bumpy zippers. But it's easier to just have the bumpy zipper and just cover it up. Okay, bitch, I'm gonna be giving you wiggly, squiggly spine, all right? What are you talking about, Alana?

[A]

A fucking stegosaurus. Yes. Alana is butthurt about. And again, I said, still but untucked. Just happened. So whatever. But she brings up again the fact that Joella made comments about her number, and I'm like, bitch, you asked her. You asked her about what she felt, and then you didn't. Now you mad. Then don't ask.

[B]

Does Lana Jarret's nose contour look crazy or is it just me?

[A]

I like it.

[B]

It's so bright that it starts like Looking. It's just so bright. I kept being like, what is. Am I crazy?

[A]

Oh. I mean, it didn't sound. Maybe I'll look at it more. It didn't stick out to me though. I thought it was good.

[B]

You know what drives me crazy? That I see that I believe. Is it Sam Star or is it. No, Arrietty. I can't remember who it is, but when your eyebrows, your eye makeup go into your hairline, it drives me crazy. It drives me crazy. Either push your wig back.

[A]

Mistress found dead.

[B]

Oh, her. It drives me crazy. Either push your wig back or make your makeup a little bit. But your. Your makeup is going literally into your hair. This is insane. Does that not drive you crazy?

[A]

I mean, what. Honestly, I noticed a lot of Mistress for some reason. The fact that Mistress is wing is. Is. This is cr. That looks. Cuz her wigs are always cutting half of her eye makeup off. That's crazy.

[B]

I can't remember which girl it is, but one of the girls from the season, it might be Sam Star or maybe Crystal Envy. I kind Sam Star, Crystal Envy and Jewel Sparkles. They kind of get jumbled into one for me in drag sometime. Specifically Sam Star and Crystal Envy. But one of those girls, their makeup goes into their hairline. Like, oh my God. Make your makeup smaller or push your wig back. One of the two.

[A]

What's your line? I put your wig back. Isn't that line for one of your songs

[B]

somewhere in there?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Anyway, so up against Mistress.

[A]

Got it. So then Joella and Harmona get into it. And then Hormona

[B]

goes in on Joella. She goes in on low key read harmonica. She should have read for her fucking challenge. She can read.

[A]

Oh my God, that would be a great channel. Someone should just roast. Oh my God. That's a good talent. Instead of trying to do comedy, just roast. Post all the girls for a minute.

[B]

But you don't know who's. You don't know.

[A]

These girls write the jokes there when you find out who it is.

[B]

I know, but it helps to know people a little bit when you read them. Otherwise, just like, you're fat, you're this, you're that, like, girl.

[A]

Just make all surface reads. Just make it all superficial. Girl.

[B]

There will be a dumb bitch. There will be a mean bitch. There will be. Well, who's mean? Who's dumb? Do you know yet?

[A]

Make it up. We don't know. But then she said to Joella, talk about the tags sticking on the back of her costume. I was like, let's be very clear. Okay, Joella's costume may be many things. It is not off the rack. Anybody buying that shit?

[B]

I was like, what?

[A]

No, Joella. There's no way she got that off a rack anywhere. That's.

[B]

And then Joella called hormonal manipulative. I was like, does she know what manipulative means? That's not.

[A]

She just.

[B]

She's. She's reading, but she's not manipulating you.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

You know, but then she goes. And then I'm assess. I'm obsessed. When Joella looks at Acacia in her face about her malicious, and she can't beat you. What's she gonna do to me?

[A]

What you gonna do against me?

[B]

Two occasions occasionally go, wait, hold on. Whoa, hold on. Wait a minute now. She can't beat you. She can't beat me. I said, oh, my God. Joella is so on a different level. She's on a different level.

[A]

I'm obsessed.

[B]

So the next day. I love RuPaul's suit.

[A]

I wrote that, too. I love the colors of. I love the stripes. I think it was very, very, very, very cute. RuPaul looks great. I also noticed. And again, not. I just noticed, but in these shots, I like. Lana is so beautiful and so pretty out of drag. Also, Also is Acacia. Akasha is very, very, very pretty. And Anya did just have very pretty faces out of drag. Like, pretty, pretty out of drag face.

[B]

And I'm really obsessed with Lexi wearing. Wearing collagen patches under her eyes. She's like, enough of the grandma reads. She's wearing those little, like, collagen patches on her eyes in the workroom.

[A]

I didn't even notice that.

[B]

Yeah, I'm kind of obsessed with that minigame.

[A]

Well, Ru brings him. He brings him in. I cannot. With his bra glued on this box. I'm like, y'. All. Drag Race has a great, great, amazing art team. Y' all just gonna glue a bra on a box was crazy to me. I can't.

[B]

I didn't even notice it.

[A]

Just a fucking irregular nude bra. B cup just glued on. This box was crazy.

[B]

You didn't see the vision. You didn't see the vision. What they were saying was that the chest. Because it's a chest. Like a chest. Like a community chest.

[A]

I get it. I don't want it.

[B]

I, I. I get it. I just don't. We got it. We just didn't want it. Do you like this mini challenge, though? They're, they're, they're, they're. It's pretty easy. You just go up and you pick a Card. And then you get money. They're just literally just giving everyone money.

[A]

Yeah. And Alana pulled the. She pulled the card with the most money, the $400, and it was still in front of her by Crystal. But karma will get a bitch back. Karma be looking out. She got the one that she got to steal $200 from someone, and in her car was $220. So she still ended up having the most money. Favors the brave.

[B]

And Acacia goes to jail. She should have gone to jail for that fucking outfit she wore.

[A]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[B]

Lana steals 100 bucks back. And what it really basically says is the color you pick is the. Is the outfit you're going to be. You're going to be making this week. So the colors are green, blue, and yellow and orange. They're orange on this. No, it was only three colors this week. Yellow, green, and blue. There are orange properties. There's also light blue properties, but they didn't. But it wasn't included this time.

[A]

So there are only nine outfits? No, there were four.

[B]

Right. Jacob was there orange.

[A]

I'm pretty sure there was orange.

[D]

Yeah, there was orange on your nervous.

[B]

Ramono's orange on your had orange on. No, she had green.

[A]

Yeah, green had orange.

[B]

Hermona had orange. Was she the only one in orange?

[D]

No. No.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Lucky also had orange. And there's one more in orange in the slideshow. It was Lexi Was orange.

[B]

Yeah, Lexi.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

So. So you're basically picking the color you're going to be wearing. And so. So now we basically get into the, like, the challenge announcement, and they have this, like, design that based on the properties. And Lucky does not feel like she's gonna be able to design with fabric, which is crazy. Lucky's like, what am I gonna do? What am I doing with fabric? I'm gonna make clothes with fabric.

[A]

Well, that's the crazy thing for me. The girls who are. Who are unconventional material girlies work. I get it. But also, why don't you just treat fabric like an unconventional material, right? Like, I don't know, stiffen it out. Like, hot glue it as opposed to trying to sew it. Like, I just don't understand why. And again, I am not an unconventional person. I am not an unconventional materials girly at all.

[B]

You're basic.

[A]

Yes, I'm basic, so I don't know that struggle, but I just don't understand the idea of not of just treating fabric and, like, you, like, Leslie, like, cut up the bolts of fabric, like, treat it unconventional. Like, that's what My brain doesn't understand why you can't, why she can't do that.

[B]

Crystal Envy and Sam Star are sitting side by side, and these two could be the same person. They are so easy for me to mix up. So easy for me. Is that just me?

[A]

No, I don't, I don't mix them up.

[B]

And then Joella and Anya are both saying that they don't. They have never sewn outfits or, I don't know. Joella says she, Anya says she's never sewn an outfit, and Joella says she can't sew, but Anya says she can sew, but she's never made an outfit. What are you sewing? Pillows? Curtains?

[A]

Yeah, Yeah. I was gonna say, like, what? You know, you know, but, you know, that's interesting to me. Um, and again, I mean, we talk about this every season, but also, the show is also cast and girls that can show. I'm sure you have to say that. So y', all, like, it's still a fucking reality. People are like, ugh, why are they still casting girls that can show? Because it creates this, it creates drama, it creates tv. Y' all just want everybody. If you want, you want everybody to be fucking. Well, I guess if everyone was, like, on an Arrietty level, it would be kind of wild and still fierce. But anyway.

[D]

Wait, I have a question, though. Is it. How unrealistic is it to expect that a girl, after getting cast, has, like, at least a couple days to pick up a sewing machine and learn a basic, like, design?

[B]

I believe that with, with two lessons, you can learn to make a dress. It won't be, it won't be some sickening couture garment and gown, but I do believe that within two lessons, you can learn to make a basic dress.

[A]

Um, yeah, I, I, I, I, I think so too. Um, but also, but also, y', all, Jacob and Bob, you know this when you get cast on the show. I mean, I don't know how long girls get nowadays, but your brain is everywhere. You, like, trying to figure out how you're gonna get all these things done. How are you gonna get the money to do them all? Who's gonna do what? Like, you don't. You're not thinking, oh, let me sit down and take a sewing class. Even though maybe you should. But you were like, your brain is going in every other direction trying to figure out how you're gonna get everything else with the show.

[B]

I, it would be on my mind, especially if it was my, if, if I thought it would be my undoing. You Know what I mean? And I also feel like I don't know it. You have to make outfits as part of your audition tape.

[A]

But she didn't. She made use probably unconventional material.

[B]

She should have stuck to her own thing. She should have stuck to her own thing.

[D]

I don't think that's on the audition tapes anymore. Cause I did. I helped to grow with her audition tape for like 15 or 16. And there wasn't a sewing thing on

[B]

it, you know, Joella, that's the one.

[A]

Susie, surprise, surprise, wants to do the 1920s. And at first I was like, oh, God, girl. You see? But to Susie's point though, Lucky was like, I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do different regular makeup. I'm gonna really like. My hat's off to her to try to challenge herself. But Susie's like, bitch, I'm gonna do what I do and I'm gonna do it well.

[B]

Also, Susie refusing to remove this hat is sending me to the moon. Susie tries to take off her shirt, but she will not want that hat to come off. She's like, oh. And then she's in the room sewing, shirtless with this little goat hat on. I don't know why this is sending me to the.

[A]

I didn't notice it.

[B]

She will not take this goat hat off.

[A]

I did not notice that at all.

[B]

How do you.

[A]

Bob's little. Bob's little brain. Like, I didn't. I didn't even notice that that was the thing going on.

[B]

It just. It's a very. It's like a hat with horns and ears.

[C]

Like a.

[B]

It's not like a regular. It's like a goat hat. The hat is like a goat head.

[A]

Well, Susie is the goat.

[B]

She's the goat, honey.

[A]

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

[C]

$45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for a 12 month plan. Required $15 per month. Equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms. We all prefer things a certain way, like groceries. If you want groceries just how you like them, you gotta try Instacart. They have a new preference Picker that lets you pick how ripe or unripe you want your bananas. Shoppers can see your preferences upfront, helping guide their choices. Because when it comes to groceries, the details matter. Instacart get groceries just how you like.

[A]

Sam Star is such a faggot, and I mean that, y', all, in the sweetest way possible. She is such a. Sam is such a fag, and I'm kind of obsessed. She's like, well, honey, and not in a way that Trinity's a fag. And Trinity's like a cunty southern queen. Sam Star is like a southern belle faggot, and I'm kind of. I love it.

[B]

The kind you want to gay bash.

[A]

Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, for sure. Trinity, you'd be a little afraid of Sam. You would gay bash the fuck out of them, you know?

[B]

So they're all sewing, and Joella is behind. All the girls are sewing. Joella has not even cut a single piece of fuck fabric, which is gaggy. If you're hearing a sewing machine is going. You're still looking at fabric. That's kind of gaggy.

[A]

Yeah. And also, Jules kept on saying that she's rouging. Rouging. I'm like, you mean ruching? And it was. I was like, rouge is what your grandmother put on her face for her blush. That's rouge. You're ruching, Jules. It was driving me crazy. This Kept saying, I'm roughing. I'm roughing, I'm roughing, I'm roughing. I'm like, you're not. You're rushing.

[B]

Well, that's what happens when I teach ourselves to sew. We just take a word and run. We're like, yeah, that's the one.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Sounds right to me.

[A]

Bob had been using the word go day incorrectly for years.

[B]

I didn't have you using the word God incorrectly. You don't want to tell me.

[A]

You don't want to tell me about it? And you.

[B]

No, I told you what gode was. When you put on this. When you make a little hole, like a triangle you put on the side, you. You started adding things to it. When you make a dress and you, like, if you insert into the seam, especially on the sides, a go day. That's what. That's what it is, a go day.

[A]

No, a God is only in the back, though. A gode is not on the sides.

[B]

I don't think that's true.

[A]

Let me look it up really quick. Godet is G, A, U, D, E, T, T. Right, E, I Can't spell godet. Oh, you can't spell it, but you can fucking use it?

[B]

Yeah, people do that all the time. People use words they can't spell all the time. That's pretty standard.

[A]

I don't even know how to fucking spell it. We'll find it, girls.

[B]

Can you Google God? You know, we have someone who can Google things for us. You don't have to pause the podcast, Monet. You know that, right, Jacob?

[A]

See me struggle, Jacob.

[D]

Like, the issue is I also don't know how to spell it. And every time I'm trying to, it's pulling goddess instead.

[B]

G O D E, T. It's probably G O D E T go day. Or G O D. G O D E T T E go day.

[A]

That's what I spell. G A U, D E T T

[B]

E. I said G O D E

[D]

T T E G O D E,

[B]

T. That's what I said. That's why I said G O D E, T or. Anyway. So, Jake, what's a godet?

[D]

This says it is a triangular piece of material inserted in an address to make it flared for ornamentation. And I can show you a little picture right here.

[A]

I thought it was only in the back.

[B]

So you. So you just made up again. Monet makes up a thing.

[A]

No, that's not true. Someone, I think Trinity or someone said to me, girl, a gode is in the back of the dress.

[B]

No, girl, that's not true. So you can put a gold day anywhere. So you were using it, right? We were both using it, right. Okay, now you put it in the armpit. I think it's called a gusset. If you like, release. If you make like, a little, like a. Like, not a teardrop, like a. A pointy oval, and you put it in the armpit or the crotch is called a gusset.

[A]

Y'. All. Bob swear she is the premier sewing drive.

[B]

Never said that.

[A]

She never said that.

[B]

I just said. Your definition of go day was wrong. Mine was wrong, too. I said it's on the sides, but I know it's not just in the back. That I know for sure.

[A]

Okay. Anyway, RuPaul comes in and he does the walkthroughs.

[B]

And I also wrote this down, too. I love that Joella asked Acacia for help, and she was basically like, nope. Like, occasionally. Did I give her. Offer her a single thing. A girl.

[A]

I would either. She was like.

[B]

She was like, oh, yeah.

[E]

Just.

[B]

You turn on the machine and use it.

[A]

You. I was like. I was like, mitch, you just read me. You just Read me yes last night. No, I'm not helping you. But that's not true. I probably. If I could help, I probably would help. Although no one would want my help in a fucking sewing challenge. You know, if we're in a sewing challenge, people, you're not coming to workstations. You're not coming to Monet X Change.

[B]

Especially now when Trinity's. They're all going to go to Trinity, and Trinity will help anybody. Yeah, that's also we, girl.

[A]

Also Asia. Well, Asia famously got in trouble. That is, I think, about season 10. That was so crazy of Asia, y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

Asia has a fucking. She had a store, Asia, in Dallas. She had a whole business where she sold things for girls. And she helped people so much on season 10 that she almost ended up in the bottom. That's insane.

[B]

Couldn't be me and wouldn't be me. Through both of us are walkthroughs and.

[A]

Oh, fucking Lydia Butthole. She looks like she got lost on a set of Drag Race on her way to Stranger Things. That girl looks like. She looks like one of the little kids from Stranger Things. She looks so small and young.

[B]

Yeah, I hadn't really given them that much thought, to be honest.

[A]

She. It's wild.

[B]

Also, Lydia doesn't like the pad. She's like, I don't. I bought pads, but I ain't using

[A]

them because she like. Because of you. People like you. She's like, I wanted to show my butthole and I want it to look believable.

[B]

What do you mean, people like me? What have I done to make Lydia want to show her a butthole? What does that mean?

[A]

Last episode, Bob, you shamed all the girls who wore tights and wanted to show their ass. You're like, no, if you want to. If it's going to be ass, I want to see real ass.

[B]

That's ok. You're really simplifying what I said. I was saying, if you're going to show ass, I think, like, a. Actual skin looks better than. But also this. This was not to show your skin. This has nothing to do with showing skin. This is to look opulent. This has nothing.

[A]

I think with Lydia the weird. The reason. The reason she doesn't like wearing pads is because she has to wear tights and she wants to give the illusion of a. But she likes to show her butthole.

[B]

I think Lydia does wear tights.

[A]

I don't think so.

[B]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Lydia wears tights, but she's not actually. She's not actually showing her Butthole. When it's like a bit we say I'm showing butthole, it's like showing me my personality. I am butthole. Not my butthole, but I am butthole.

[A]

I think Lydia shows butthole sometimes. I think that's why she listened.

[B]

I'm sure she shows Corey King or butthole. That seems pretty clear.

[A]

Yeah, she does. Ru basically tells Joella not to wear a bodysuit, but he blames it on Michelle. Ru, Ru loves to read you and tell you not to do something like. Well, Michelle won't like that. No, nigga, look at. You won't like it. You won't like it. I'm just saying you make it.

[B]

Always make it clear you're the final judge here.

[A]

Yeah, but. Yeah, but it's interesting to me that RuPaul is basically telling Joella, do not do this. And what does Joella decide to do

[B]

the thing they told her not to do.

[A]

She's doing this. She's like, I'm going to do this.

[B]

And at the end of this, RuPaul reveals to everyone that she has the Reddit queen votes, and she's going to show you how everyone voted, which we love.

[A]

We love.

[B]

The only big thing is that people really found out on the. On the spot that Lana and Arietti had an alliance. That's the only thing they found out. Do you really need alliances on. On Drag Race, though?

[A]

I mean, it saved Iriada from being the bottom.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Her alliance with Alana saved her from being the bottom 100%, I reckon.

[B]

So.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And it got Trinity to the top four in All Star.

[B]

Seven All Stars. A different thing I know about Drag Race, All Stars is about alliances. I would say All Stars is a combination of social game and drag skills, whereas I would say Drag Race is

[A]

mostly drag skills, but also in a new season. You don't know. I guess they don't know how long this Raider Queen thing would have went on and how it could have impacted the competition in other ways. So it's smart at the beginning to, you know, to.

[B]

It helped. It helped.

[A]

It helps for sure. Wait, there was another gag. Anya is a little mad at the strategy. Like, Anya's like, I just don't like that people were rating other people low and high. I'm like, well, girl, you can't be mad at the strategy. Like, they're playing the fucking game. Like, RuPaul gave y' all the choice to do whatever you want, and they played the game. So you gotta just play the game

[B]

while you play the game. It is what it is my boy. It is what it is. But you were talking about getting mad, baby. Anya Nerve and Jules Sparkles are going at.

[A]

Wait, wait, wait. Before that. We didn't get there yet. I was.

[B]

I don't have any notes between that and this.

[A]

Oh, girl. It was what? Off screen, Lexi blowing the window.

[D]

Oh, my God.

[B]

I do have that note. I have it way back, girl. Lexi was like, not. No cheating on my motherfucking watch.

[A]

But is that cheating, though?

[B]

We did that a lot.

[A]

We did that on All Stars and you cheated. We did not cheat.

[B]

You cheated.

[A]

No, that was not one of the rules. We were. First of all. They knew it. This was All Star seven. When Trinity had bought her whole bag of tricks and production, she thought that production threw it away. And she made Mandy Selang sang dig in the dumpster for her stones and her feathers.

[B]

They did throw it away.

[A]

No. Come to find out, Trinity was like, I'm not leaving until my stones aim to and feathers are found. And she's like, they're not my hotel. I left them right here on my station. And they will be found. Mandy had to go in the dumpster to look for it. Ultimately, yes. Mandy was like, Trinity. I was literally. She's like, I literally was just digging in the dumpster. They're not there. And then she's like, well, obviously reimbursed. And for my calculations, I had about $10,000 worth of products in there. Cut the bite out. They were in her room.

[B]

Wow. I was taking. I was taking turns to dumpster. Like, I would. I would have put my car keys in the dumpster. Like, I need you to find them. And for my calculations, you will be embarrassed. And by the way, it was a $25,000 car, so get it popping, miss thing. Yeah. No. So when you on Drag Race, this is what they say to y'. All. They say, use the materials provided for you, and you're allowed to use your own shoes, undergarments, hair, and jewelry. That's what they say.

[A]

Okay. Stones are jewelry.

[B]

Stones are not jewelry. Stones can become jewelry, but stones are not jewelry. That's like saying a fabric. That's like saying fabric is dresses. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Stones can become jewelry. Stones are not. If you find a stone, it's not a piece of jewelry.

[A]

It's an earring, honey.

[B]

Anyway, I'm on. I'm. I'm. I'm on Lexi's side. Yeah. Pick. Pick your stuff. Pick your stones. And Harmona is heated.

[A]

I would be. If I was. I would be so Pissed? Are you kidding? I wouldn't.

[B]

You'd have been picking stones.

[A]

I would have picked it up. I would also win the off on Lexi. I'm like, don't you ever ask me for nothing this competition ever again. Listen, but matter of fact, if your is an air ghost, go get ready over there. Don't get ready next to me, you shady ass.

[B]

I get rid of whatever I want. And let me tell you right now, Harmona, if I was going to go anywhere to ask for anything, it wouldn't have been you anyway. So I guess we're in good standing.

[A]

And you know what? And you're also going to find yourself in the bottom next week. How about that?

[B]

And I hope I'm there with you because you found yourself in the bottom last week also.

[A]

But we also see this beautiful blossoming love between Lydia and Corey. And Lydia, she is self proclaimed sprung and enjoying a snack on the way to the crown.

[B]

So she said, I'm gonna beat you. She said she's gonna beat Corey.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That is what she's saying. That is what she's saying. And then we get into the Jewel

[B]

could hold my hole while I snatch the crown.

[A]

Is that someone's lying.

[B]

Could you hold my purse while I snatch the crowns from Alaska?

[A]

Oh, got it. Okay. Hall of fame.

[B]

I mean, so can we get now we can get into jewels and Anya.

[A]

Yes, Bob.

[B]

So whose side are you on?

[A]

I am. So I have mixed feelings. I'm kind of in the middle because number one, I do understand Jewel. She asked, I said no, you took it anyway. But also, I'm on Anya. I'm like, this is a competition. I'm like, like, bitch, your dress looks good. You're almost done. Your seam shorts, like, your shit is fierce. I'm gonna help myself to what I need to do to like on Anya's side. I'm feeling the survivor of it all right? The survivor. You look through people's shit. You take what you need, you do what you can to get to the final. So I'm like, fair is fair in

[B]

loving, but you also can't give permission to use something that's not yours. But you can't give me permission to use something. Doesn't fudgeing belong to you?

[A]

But it is hers. She dropped, not her.

[B]

They said, go and grab what you need. And Anya grabbed what she needed.

[A]

No, Jules took it at the top of the episode. And when we did this. So like, let's say when you did your, your design, your little gone with the window thing was a Little. Sorry.

[B]

It was iconic.

[A]

You're going with the window challenge, and you had. Those are all your materials. When you. When you all go to snatch stuff, right? Or when I did season 10, when I snatched all the sponges, I took all my materials, I brought them to my station. You can't come in and be like, oh, Monet, can I use these sponges? No, I can't have them, actually. I'm taking them anyway. Bye. That's my materials.

[B]

It was different with mine because we were giving individual material. So I was given a package. So it was more like when y' all did. When y' all did Wheel of Fortune, you were given a green package. Someone else was given a blue package. That was like, literally, you have your own package. Otherwise, just grab stuff and use what you need. Now, if you. So why was. Why was Jules able to use the same green fabric that Anya used, but Anya can't use the jewels that Jewel used?

[A]

Because they agreed to, like. Jules asked her, and they said, yeah, we, like, let's split it. The difference is, Anya asked, hey, can I use this trim that you took? And she was like, no, I'm going to use it. She was like, well, I'm taking it anyway. That is the difference.

[B]

And I would have been mad if I was like, I let you get some of my fabric, but you can't let me have another 100%.

[A]

100%.

[B]

And now I'm taking it. And now what? It's not yours. This is. This is like, literally stuff that all. Everyone who's got green can grab. This stuff. You cannot.

[D]

You.

[B]

Unless it's on your dress, it's not yours. If it's not on your garment, it's not yours. It is ours.

[A]

I disagree. That's not how that works, Bob.

[B]

Well, the rules disagree with you. And Anya was in the top.

[A]

Those aren't the rules of any. Is making up her own rules. That's not the rules. The rules are that you snatch them.

[B]

It's not the rule. She said, grab what you need. The rules are not take what you need and hoard it, and you get to hoard wealth, and you get to hoard possessions, and you get to hoard the resources.

[A]

That's a different thing.

[B]

You're making up your own rules. The rules grab what you need. No, the rules are just grab what you need. And she grabbed what she needed.

[D]

Exactly.

[A]

Jules grabbed the trim that she needed. She was going to embellish her dress, and Anya took it.

[B]

And Anya grabbed it, too.

[A]

No, Jules grabbed it. Anya did not grab it, but see the rules.

[B]

Did I say grab it from the table? Then who grabs it first? You're adding extra stuff. And who grabs it first is theirs. You're adding that to it.

[A]

Okay, so then, so then, so, so then what? So, so I, I, I, I grab materials that I need to use so, so that everyone in the work can just come and take it when they want, when I'm going to use them. That's not fair.

[B]

Yes, and here's why. Because what Jules did was she grabbed an entire spool. Like she took the, the whole thing. It's not like she pulled off what she needed and left some. She took all of it so that no one else could have any. She took all of the trim of this one thing so that no one else could even use it. And in my opinion, that's not fair. She took.

[A]

It is fair.

[B]

It's like, take what you need. She didn't need the whole trim, so, so instead she took all of it so that no one else could use any. So if I run to the table and, and I grab all the green fabric, all. So let's say I can, let's say that I get to the table before she does and I grab everything that's green. And you don't have access to anything because I grabbed it. Now you can't use any because I grabbed every single thing that's green. But let's say I grabbed, let's say I grabbed the stones, I grabbed the trim, and all I left you with was fabric. I grabbed the appliques and all you have now is fabric. But because I got there first. Now you can't use it because I got there first.

[A]

Yeah, but that's again, that is how that part of the show works. Right now if you did all that, you didn't grab any fabric, you're a fucking idiot. Because then you have. No, all you have is shrimp for a dress. That's not going to fudgeing work. And I have all the fabric. So they were, we all saw them at the top of the episode. They were not well when they chose it. They were all there choosing different things. No one was pushing, no one was screaming, no one was fighting. Everyone took what they want. They were happy what they want and they would. Then, then, then they went to work. Later on, Oni decided that she want trim now. Again, she should have been smarter at the thing and then taken trim as well. But instead she didn't, she didn't think about it, which is fair. You don't know what you're gonna make, right? You're just taking something that you think you're gonna use. So it's a game, it's a competition. If I take the trim. And again, we don't know how much trim there was. We don't know if it was 95 yards of it or if it was three. We don't know how much trim there was. You're saying you're assuming she took the whole bolt of trim.

[B]

She did take the whole spool. She saw it. You saw the whole spool. You saw us sitting in her station.

[A]

Okay, but again. So she took the trim, though. So if I took the trim because I want to embellish my dress to disadvantage other people so that I win this challenge, that's fair. That is part of the game.

[B]

And if I want to take it back, that's fair. And she took it. And then obviously the judges saw it. Obviously production saw it. It wasn't against the rules. Anya Nerve did not break a rule. And it's fair for you to go in and take more trim back. She didn't pluck it off her dress.

[A]

No, because I'm not saying. Again, I'm not saying she broke the rules. I'm just saying that. I'm just saying that she. What Jewel should have did, she should have just kept the. If she wanted to make sure that she only had it on her dress, she should have, like, had her eyes on it and be like, no, bitch. I said, no, you can't have it. But she clearly took her eyes off of it at some point and Anya took it.

[B]

You see, the difference is no one wanted your sponges, so no one cared

[A]

that you took off the sponges. Well, Vanjie, maybe Vanjie should have thrown some sponges on her outfit. Maybe she would have been safe.

[B]

Wow, Monet kicking up some five year old drama. That's crazy. Six, however long ago. That's crazy. Monet, you've been on two seasons since then. Get over it, okay?

[A]

Get over it. I will say, Jules saying to her to have a moment because you're not going to have many, many left. And then her being in the top, that episode of her be the bottom,

[B]

I was like that age, like fucking Greek yogurt girl. Also, Lucky is having a rough day. Lucky cannot stop crying. Lucky is just broken down and tired. Like, Lucky's having a rough, rough time. I don't.

[A]

And Lucky, if you know, like, you see you're having a bad time designing this thing. It is not going well. Double down, doubling down. And also Choosing to do makeup you don't do. Wear hair you don't wear normally. At that point, I would be like, you know what? At least for my hair and makeup, I'm going to go back to what I do so I can make it. There could be some balance in how bad my outfit is. At least my face and makeup will be sickening. Like, that's what. I don't understand that she just went. She just kept on doing that because.

[B]

Oh, it was. It was here. It was. It was the next day when Hormone and Alexi were having it out. Anyway, we're slightly out of order. Oh, the chismosa girls are not feeling okay. So the chimosa, the chimosma girls, the chimosa girls got together and were like, oh, let me give you a beauty mark. And then she walked there. She's like, I fucking hate that bitch. I don't know if that was a. I don't know if that was a joke or what, but I was like, that was. It was giving. That is the ugliest effing skirt I've ever seen in my life. Life.

[A]

Well, you know, they were talking about her first. Acacia came over like, what was that? And then I really quickly pivoted. She's like, oh, no, let me just look. A beauty. Marquis is so cute.

[B]

It was literally. That is the ugliest effing skirt I've ever seen in my life. I was like, that's the chimosma girl. The chimosa girls went. I was like, that's crazy.

[A]

I know, I know. Also, I wrote down. I already. She's so cute. So many cuties this season. Alexi said, I thought Samsar would be riddled with she devil blood, which is a clear a come at for Trinity. The top tail.

[B]

Have you ever confronted Trinity about that? Confronted her about it or just asked her about it?

[A]

Yeah, she said it was not her.

[B]

You believe her?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay, work.

[A]

Do you. Do you think it was her?

[B]

I really looked into it, to be honest.

[A]

But what do you think? What do you think? If you just had to, like, take

[B]

a guess, it could be. If it was her, that would make sense. If it wasn't her, that would also make sense too. But I.

[A]

What a Switzerland answer. It could be. It couldn't be.

[B]

I don't know. I don't actually have any information. Like, I haven't. I didn't really look deep into it. I thought it was funny. So I make the jokes a lot because I think it's funny, but I. I didn't actually I. If I gave an opinion, it would just be literally just pure conjecture because I know nothing of it. Honestly,

[A]

that was so crazy.

[B]

Well, I don't know. I literally don't know. You asked me answer before.

[A]

You were like, it could be. It couldn't be. I was like, what the Switzerland?

[B]

If it turned out it was hard, be like, yeah, that makes sense. It turned out. But, yeah, that makes sen too. But from my limited bit of knowledge, you know, I'm not afraid to give my opinion. I don't.

[A]

Knowledge. Your limited knowledge.

[B]

Anyway, I don't think I would ever be Switzerland on purpose. Girl, that is not my stance.

[A]

Because you're a trainer, and I'll never trust you ever again.

[B]

Let's go on to these looks. Lucky. Okay, first of all.

[A]

Hold on, Holiday. Let me. Let me. Let me open my document. Holiday, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[B]

Well, I'll start. The judges look really great. Everyone looks fantastic. RuPaul Loki looks like a casino carpet, but still looks stunning.

[A]

Look at Michelle. Okay, Michelle, body, legs, and little mini dress. Oh, my God. Look at the little mukluks on TS Madison. That's so cute.

[B]

Um, let's go on to the Queens.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Lucky star, this baby. This is a miss in basically every. I don't know. I don't know why she's wearing those tights. I don't get what's going on with this garment. This hair. The makeup. The gloves really upset me.

[A]

The gloves also. Crying and blotting your makeup with white gloves on is crazy, but I'm just

[B]

dirty shell this by smiling a lot. She was not even smiling a lot. I was like, girl, this is. There's. This is a bad day.

[A]

I understand. What is the silhouette? Yeah, no, that was tough. Let's go into Harmona. Lisa. She. This gown is beautiful. It fits her body lovely. She said in her original sketch is going to be like a goldfish. So she's going to have, like, eyes where her tits were. I guess that didn't work out, but kind of like her promo. She loves a shawl or like, a long thingy on her arms. She loves that. That's like her signature thing.

[B]

I'm guessing years ago I wore a goldfish gown that was made by Ivy Winters. Years and years and years, I borrowed it from her. And honestly, it was such a cute outfit.

[A]

I don't think I've ever seen it.

[B]

Little goldfish. It was so fucking cute. I mean, this was years ago. I wouldn't be able to find the picture. It was so long ago. But this outfit is cute. She looks stunning. This outfit is great. The shawl is fantastic. Her body looks phenomenal. Her makeup looks good. She looks great. This is a great.

[A]

And those little orange stones, because I saw them, they were so sparsely adorned on the outfit. They would not have made a difference. Like, go back to when she was plucking them off, y'. All. They were like three inches apart, each one. So I think she did that work. But she didn't need stones. It's not like they would not have made an impact on the dress.

[B]

If you can plug your stones off that fast, you didn't have that many stones on.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

And if your dress is not gooped and covered in glue, you didn't. You didn't.

[C]

You.

[B]

You didn't do. You didn't do that much, girl. You didn't do that much.

[A]

Let's go on to Ms. Lexi Love now. She just, she. When she was designing it, she's talking about, oh, there.

[B]

There's the. There's the. The goldfish dress.

[A]

Where from?

[B]

Ivy Winters.

[A]

Oh, and you. And you wore this at one point.

[B]

Maybe it was a different one. Maybe she made more than one. I can't remember, but I just wore some dress Ivy Winters made years ago. Maybe it wasn't this one, but I can't remember. Anyway, let's go on to Lexi Love now.

[A]

When she was designing this, she talked about having. Throwing the bolts of fabric behind her and creating a whole train. I think I've seen the Runway on TikTok that she's talking about, and I don't think it had the same effect.

[B]

Rip to TikTok.

[A]

Oh,

[B]

she died.

[A]

Who died? Our TikTok. I don't think I had the same effect. Quite the same effect that she wanted to, but I think it was something different. And I think. I love. I love her adding the ostrich feathers to this dress. It gave it, like, really cool movement when she moved and. Cause, you know, ostrich is so bouncy. And I think I like this. It is just a cocktail dress with sleeves. But, you know, I think the train bolt thing was a nice little touch.

[B]

Yeah, I don't.

[A]

I didn't.

[B]

Honestly, she didn't sell it the way that she needed to. I couldn't see that it was a bolt. Maybe if she was wrapped in the garment and looked like a gown, then she threw it back. Also, this hair is wild. Like, I need more out of this hair. I need more. I'm going to need a little more than pulling your hair back. Put a ponytail on Put a bun on. Put something on it. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah, I'd agree. I'd agree for sure.

[B]

I don't. I don't love this look, though.

[A]

Let's go on to Ms. Susie Toot. This was so good.

[B]

I was.

[A]

I agree, shocked when Suzy came around the corner. I was not expecting Susie to look so fucking good in a design challenge. What she did with her hand, I think she painted her hands red, and she had these sleeves. It had these, like, 1920s droopy things that you see in that era.

[B]

Nicole, Cold shoulder.

[A]

What are they? No, no, no. The little things. The danglies.

[B]

Like a big old necklace. Yeah.

[A]

And like, the things behind her, how it even gathered around her feet. I mean, the man.

[B]

Okay. I love this outfit. It's too long. The gathering around the feet, I don't think was intentional. Her dress is. She's walking on her dress.

[A]

Oh, I thought it was intentional. I thought it looked so. I thought it looked good to be alert.

[B]

She's walking on her dress, and her dress is too long. Other than that, this outfit is fantastic. She looks really good.

[A]

The. The. The devil horn helmet, Like, I was like, yo, this looks so fucking cool. The only thing I hated. Surprise. It was her makeup. And she had. I think she was trying. Were they supposed to be devil horns or, like, lower?

[B]

I don't know. I don't know what Suzanne is doing with her makeup. And I'm. I'm all. I was on it. Now I'm off. I'm off the Suzanne 2 makeup train again. I don't know what's going on here.

[A]

Yeah, the makeup really did not do it for me, but this outfit was superb. It was fierce. I loved it.

[B]

Let's go into arietty. I love this. Arieti looks absolutely stunning. She was my top queen of the week, for sure.

[A]

100%.

[B]

This looks amazing.

[A]

This was so fucking good. Clearly, this bitch is a great seamstress. She even made the little fan to go with it. The hair looks so beautiful. Her makeup, I loved what she. I loved that she didn't. The super wide nose thing. It was a little more reeled in. It was still bright and white. I think her body. This was my favorite look of the week. She looked amazing.

[B]

I agree. I love this. Fantastic. Let's go on to Lana Jarret. You know, this look is pretty simple. Her makeup goes into her hairline.

[A]

Does it?

[B]

Yes. And her. Her. Her tights are just not the color of her skin. They're just not in the picture.

[A]

They are.

[B]

And I remember Watching a video, being like, oof. I do not love this hairline. I mean, these, These. These leggings.

[A]

Oh, yeah, the dress is cute.

[B]

It's pretty simple. But the dress is cute, though.

[A]

Yeah. Not my favorite look of the week. I thought it was okay. I think this was. This was definitely a safe, safe look. Yeah, I thought it was. It was safe. It was fine.

[B]

Acacia forgot. I was honestly shocked at how much I like this dress. I just did not like the. The. The. The is so tacky to me, but not in, like a fierce way. Not in a campway. It's just like, tacky. The. The jewels or whatever those things are over her nipples. Like, I didn't. I didn't need that. Personally, I would have rather have had her have a. Like a white fabric or something underneath that yellow lace. But other than that, I think she actually. This dress looks really well done. I don't know that I had, like, this hair choice either.

[A]

Well, this loves the 80s. She. She loves a 80s girl. Talking about the olden days. RuPaul's like, 80s, the olden days. Yeah, I think it's. It's almost. It's like Dolly Parton goes a little rock, maybe with this.

[B]

Mohawk just released a rock album.

[A]

Did she?

[B]

Yeah, with like 30 something tracks on it.

[A]

Like, when you say just like, what.

[D]

It's mostly covers.

[A]

January 4, 2024. Oh, it's all cover.

[D]

Most of the covers.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Got it. Yeah. So I. Yeah, I do like this dress. I agree with you. I don't like the nipple things. I don't understand. I mean, obviously she's doing it because she can't show nipples on camera.

[B]

I understand. I just hate it.

[A]

Yeah, but, yeah, but the dress does look well made, and it's an interesting silhouette, and I think. I think she looks good.

[B]

Dolly Parton's album is 39 songs. It is three hours long.

[A]

Jesus Christ. 39. Okay. I love Dolly Parton. Do we need an album three hours long?

[B]

Let's go for easy three hours. Two hours and 57 minutes. Let's go on to Corey King, the cheap hooker who ts Madison. Wonder how far 20 bucks will get her. I like this outfit, honestly. She looks cute. I will say this. If your feet are that big, do not wear yellow shoes.

[A]

It was fine, though. I think in contrast to walking on

[B]

taxi, these are boats. No, I think they look huge.

[A]

In contrast to how her. The proportions of her body, though, I don't think it looks that egregious. It's not like Brita filter. Who would glue umbrellas to her shoes, umbrellas, her.

[B]

See her tights in this picture, her tights only. But in video, her tights look so good on her body.

[A]

Yeah. Also, I know she tried to make a little hat box thing. The hat muscle was a little sussy. But I did think. I mean, I guess they said it wasn't giving opulence. I don't know. It's not not giving opulence. It's not not giving opulence to me. Like, I think it's kind of in the middle. I thought this was a safe look. I don't understand why this was read so fiercely. Like, I'm. I. I think that it's. And again, they didn't have fucking real fur. They had Muppet fur. And I think she utilized the Muppet fur in a way that felt, you know, not cheap to me. But, I mean, maybe I'm. I'm just crazy. I don't know.

[B]

When we get to the end, we're gonna find out who you would put in the bottom instead of her once. So let's look at Lydia Butthole Collins.

[A]

You know, I don't.

[B]

There's a lot going on. I'm. I'm having a hard time understanding the perspective of this look.

[A]

Agreed. Agreed. And I know all the fashion girlies, all the kids online, be like, oh, this was. I was like, I don't get it. Like, just like, I didn't get it last week. I don't really understand with this either. It's. To me, it's a whole lot of stuff happening. And she loves. Because I think she made the red thing she wore last week, or it had a similar texture to it. This. This rouging. Now I'm saying rouging this ruching of the fabric to create this texture. And I think the hat thing is cool. But, yeah, I think it's too many elements that I don't. It doesn't work for me. I don't love this.

[B]

You just don't get the butthole Monet. You don't get. You don't understand butthole.

[A]

Yeah. I don't get.

[D]

Correct.

[B]

I don't the way butthole understands butthole, you know?

[A]

Yeah, I didn't love this.

[B]

Let's go on to Joella. You know, I gotta say, from a perspective of this just being an outfit, it's honestly not bad. Like, if you're at the club wearing this, I'd be like, oh, this is not bad. I do wish that the waist, the one on her hip, went all the way around to the back. But I didn't hate it as much as everyone else hated it. I was like, honestly, it looks fine. For someone who's never made a garment, this actually looks not bad at all.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Am I crazy for that?

[A]

Yeah, I think I agree. This is at the club. I'm like, okay, she would have worked. But I think in contrast to a lot of the other looks that we're seeing, it is not giving opulence to me. It's not opulent, I will say. I mean, because I have such limited sewing knowledge and skills, I wouldn't know how to make them little. That. That thing on her shoulder or the thing on her hip. And it looks like maybe it's just a fabric is doing a lot of the work, but it looks like it has a nice structure to it. It doesn't feel like it's just some fabric flailing on her arm. It looks like it is, like, purposely there. Obviously purposely there, but there is. There's structural integrity to it that makes it look nice. But, yeah, this is as far as opulence goes. Absolutely not. And also a bodysuit, like, you just can't make a bodysuit for your thing at this point in the competition. It's too early. Or ever. Let's go on to Ms. Anya Nerve. So with Anya Nerve, y', all, this bitch. Cause also, bitch. Her outfit looked fucking blue in this picture.

[B]

I think it's the picture. It was green on camera.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, it was. Anya Nerve sold the fuck out of this. She came and she gave a fucking story. She gave them a fucking story arc. She came up with her long cigarette. She was luxuriating in it. She would turn around. She was looking like she. So part of which. Monique Hart did this a lot in season 10 as well. Monique can sell a garment on the Runway. It may. She may have just been a bolt of fabric around her neck. She will sell it like it's a million dollar garment. That's what Ani Nerv can't finish the

[B]

garment, but she can sell a garment.

[A]

Exactly. So in that respect, I think Anya never really turned it.

[B]

Yeah, she looks. I think she looks good. I think she does look quite opulent. She really hit that part of the mark. We're looking opulent, looking like a wealthy person. Yeah, she. The trim looks good all over that hat. Yeah, I think she did a good job. I really think she did a good job. And she looks good. And she. It was the performance that really, really, really sold it for me.

[A]

Yeah. Which I. Which I can agree. Which I can, like, be Honest, myself, I don't think that's something I always think through every time I've been on Drag Race, which is selling the garment. Trinity also does a good job of selling her look like Trinity. She makes up a whole show she's doing out there. Like it's. It's a performance before the performance that she does jewel sparkle. I thought this was really, really, really fierce. Obviously a Gaultier. Non. Obviously. She has a lot of talent. This bitch knows how to sew. This looks really, really, really good. And I thought she ate this up. Fierce.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I wish her shoes were green is my only thought. But, yeah, no, this look is fantastic. She looks amazing. It looks very Gaultier. It is. She did a very good job. This is a very well done garment. Very well done.

[A]

And onto her auntie. Yeah, her aunt Sam Star.

[B]

Now, why is she not a Muppet?

[A]

Why is she not a Muppet?

[B]

Why is she. Why is. Why is Corey a Muppet? But Sam Star is not a Muppet?

[A]

Well, because the Muppet first she used had that tinsel in it. Kind of like what Anya. Anya had the one that had the tinsel in it as well. So it looks more expensive.

[B]

This looks like Cookie Monster to me. Cookie Monster, Cookie Monster wearing Oscar Grouch's hat, but covered in blue.

[A]

Well, she said in her thing, she was like, honey, it's not blue, it's cerulean. I'm like, that's not cerulean. Cerulean is like a lighter blue.

[B]

It's not just lapis. It's not blue. It's not blue. It's not just lapis. It's actually cerulean.

[A]

No, no, no. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean.

[B]

There's also. It's not just blue. It's not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. I believe it was. He said the Ron was into the collection of truly in military jackets. I didn't need a jacket here. This looks good. This does look good. I will say the skirt looks a little heavy for me. The bottom half of it looks a little heavy for me. But she does. You cannot argue that. She looks stunning.

[E]

She looks.

[B]

And also them calling. I think it was next episode, the Fast Forward where they. I think Arietti called out her for a little shitty kitty cat wig. This is a really nice wig.

[A]

I will say, once you took the thing off, her wigs always look a little like crunchy like and helmety. She Took a little her headpiece off, and I was like, why is it so big and bulky at the top? It was. It did look a little strange.

[B]

It's a structural piece, honey.

[A]

But that being said, the wig has structural integrity, unlike you. I don't know what that even means.

[B]

Let's move on to Sam Starr.

[A]

Wait, no, no, no. I'm still on. Oh, my God. You call Crystal Envy. Sam Starr screaming.

[B]

Oh, shit.

[A]

I thought that. No, I. I thought it was really cool. I don't. I don't agree with you with the heavy thing at the bottom. I think it all works and looks really, really, really pretty. And, I mean, I guess it's just her face, but she just gives Southern debutante, Daughter of the Confederacy. Every time I see her. I just think. I just think, daughter of the Confederacy.

[B]

Can we go on to Crystal Envy now?

[A]

No, no, I'm kidding. Yeah.

[B]

Crystal Envy. This looks great. This is actually one of my favorite looks of the week.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Tbh. I like this look. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I love this headpiece. I love the bows. I love the silhouette. I love everything. I like this. I can't think of a single note for this look that I don't like. Maybe the bows could be. The bow parts could be bigger instead of longer if they were shaped like this instead of like.

[A]

Wait, wait, let me go back. I'm looking at the thing. Do it again.

[B]

Or shape like this instead of shaped like this.

[A]

Maybe that's what I don't like. I don't like how wide the bows look. I don't. I mean, I do think I love. So is her hair. Is the scarf around her head. Is that the train?

[B]

I believe so am I. I can't tell, to be honest.

[A]

I don't remember either if that's the case. This is cool. I thought this was good. I wouldn't put it as one of my tops of the week, though. But I thought it was good. So I'm curious to know who your three tops were.

[B]

Ooh, honey, I had three tops last night. Ooh, it's a rough night in Brussels. So we find out that the top three queens are Arietty, Sam Star and Anya Nerve. And the bottom three queens are Joella, Corey King and Lucky Stars.

[A]

Okay, if I had to do tops, I would have put Arietty 100% Arietti Samstar. And I think my third. I think I would have put Jules instead of Anya. But Anya didn't I. Anya, just like this is just looking at the looks, but If I'm looking at the looks and the production and. And serving it on the Runway, it would. Anja would take over Jules, but those would be the two. I would. I would. I would sub.

[B]

I would have probably taken out Anya and put in. Honestly, I would stop. I would swap Sam star with Jules, actually.

[D]

Really?

[A]

So you would put on you there?

[B]

Because I like on your performance. I would take Sam's around and put Jules. I like Jules outfit better than, like, Sam Stars. For sure.

[A]

Yeah, I agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree.

[B]

So let me get back to my notes. So now in the judging, Lucky Stars having a very, very, very brat bad day. And. And then I. How do you feel about that before I go to my next note?

[A]

I mean. Yeah. Yes. Being right on the Runway and being knowing that you're going to be in the bottom is very, very distressing, for sure.

[B]

This is my quote of the episode. Joella, you're pretty. I do not like this outfit.

[A]

T.S. madison said that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're pretty.

[B]

I do not like this outfit.

[A]

And T.S. madison, I agree.

[E]

She.

[A]

Joella does look very pretty in this. In this close up shot handle Runway. Um, yeah.

[B]

So Sam Star ends up winning. I would have given it to arrietty, though, 100%.

[A]

I'm sorry, how did Arrietty not win this? Are they like I'm looking at them again? I put them up every from here from H to T. To quote Naomi Smalls, head to toe, this was a home run. Everything about it is perfect and beautiful and stunning. How does she not win?

[B]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, wait.

[A]

Who would you put in the bottom?

[B]

I would.

[A]

I would definitely put Joella. I would. I agree with Sam. Lucky Stars, for sure. And instead of Corey. Is this someone else? I would have put instead of Corey.

[B]

I don't think I have the bottom three right. I could have seen. I could have seen Corey swipe out with Lydia, to be honest.

[A]

100.

[D]

Right?

[B]

But still. But still. But still safe, though.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. People, you know, the kids online gonna be like, ugh, Bob o' Monat don't know fashion. Of course they don't get Lydia Butthole's look. Of course.

[B]

I mean, they also think that we hate twinks. They think I hate twinks, and I love twinks. They don't know what. They don't know what to think. I think about twinks, to be honest. And I'm like, it's really just about the drag. I swear to You. I'm not considering whether or not you're a twink or not when I look at your drag. Because I like. I like. There are some twinks who do great drag. I. I just said that. Like you. I just said that Jules Sparkles had one of my favorite looks of the week. And I just.

[A]

I put her on the top because of you. I always think I'm saying her name wrong. Every time now. Not every time I say it. I'm like, what do you mean because of me?

[B]

Because I told you you were saying it wrong once. You said Jewel Sparkles.

[A]

No, because you made a whole big thing at the top. He was like that. Her name is silly. It should be Jewel Sparkle or Jules Sparkle.

[B]

Jewel Sparkles or Jules Sparkle.

[A]

Exactly. Can I finish my motherfucking sentence? Nigga, Damn.

[B]

You normally don't. So I just went ahead and did it for you.

[A]

Yeah, because you cut me off like this just now.

[B]

Literally.

[A]

Case in point. Case I point.

[B]

So because we have case in case in point.

[A]

That is a good one.

[B]

I did a new dragon. I was like, tootie. Your first name is Tootie, but your last name changes based on how you feel. I'm tired. I'm about to be Too D. House. Okay? I'm about to get this money. I'm going to the gig, honey. I'm out of here. Tootie Moon.

[A]

So stupid.

[B]

No, Tootie Moon. Tootie Moon.

[A]

That is so silly.

[B]

Now cash these banks. We're not about to be Tootie Bank. Honey. Cash these checks.

[A]

Tootie bank, so no one can ever find you. So you. Oh, your fucking last name.

[B]

My name is Tootie, but my last name changed based on how I feel. My name is Tootie. If your drag name can be Joella, my drag name can be Tootie. What is.

[A]

How do you spell Tootie? Like Italian? T U, T, T, I.

[B]

No. T U, D, Y Tudy.

[A]

T U, D, Y Tudy. Anyway, I can't. I can't engage.

[B]

Vob Tudy's a name.

[A]

No one said it's not a name, Bob. I'm just saying. I'm not engaging in this conversation.

[B]

Okay? I'm done with you. I'm going to the. I'm going to the house. I'm going to the room. I'm going to the room, honey. Get it. It's such a great drag name.

[A]

Anyway, so Corey King gets saved and Sam won.

[B]

Sam wins. She wins $5,000.

[A]

Yes. Sam wins. And Cory King is safe, which means lucky stars. And Joella lip syncing. And Joella says this. I Wrote it down.

[B]

No, but that's for untucked.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that was untucked. Yeah, you're right. And I thought, honestly, Joella ate. Joella.

[C]

Eight.

[A]

Joella fucking turned. She was kicking them little legs up, girl.

[B]

Joella, those legs got up there.

[A]

They were good.

[B]

They were a solid, like 10, 11. Yeah. So we get another Paula Abdul song. I think Paul Abdul and Britney Spears are tied or Paul Abdul is the most relip sync song on artists on Drag Race.

[A]

This was a great lip sync song. I would have loved to lip sync to because they said all the different countries. I think that lends itself to a lot of funny bits or if. Well, my brain goes. A lot of funny, interesting things I could think to do for. For. For that lip sync. I thought, I've never heard this song before.

[B]

Yeah, it was fun. So Joelo wins. And I do think. I do think that she won. I mean, Lucky Stars was kicked off a shoe. She took off her skirt. Her panties looked weird.

[A]

She.

[B]

There was a lot of fumbles. Poor Lucky Stars.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was floundering to stay safe, and she drowned. The fish drowned.

[B]

Yeah. It was not great. Four stars. Poor Stars.

[A]

Slucky stars. Is our official. The fact that they're named the Pork Chop Queen now is India Pork Chop Stars. And she goes home. Oh, no. She gets to pull the badunkadonk leather. She pulls number. I think three.

[E]

Three.

[B]

Yeah. Three, I think. Yeah.

[A]

And Michelle Visage does not get dunked. So Lucky does, in fact, go home.

[B]

She goes home, and she's our first queen to go home. And honestly, she was the worst of the episode, and she lost the lip sync, so it was time to go.

[A]

Yeah. Lucky, you didn't. Yeah, yeah, girl.

[B]

She could have seen what she has in store. I'm more excited to see what she had in store than some of the other girls, to be honest. But. But. But she lost this lip sync.

[A]

I am very happy that my girl Joelle is in the competition still. I'm so excited.

[B]

And now we need to talk about Untucked, and we will see y' all over on our Patreon. If you want to hear what we have to think, please go to Patreon, type in sibling rivalry, and you can hear our thoughts. See you there.
