Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Season Vibes and Accessibility

[04:36–06:22]

• Monét expresses she’s genuinely enjoying Season 18 and the cast:

  “I like these girls, I think on a whole, I think they're funny. And I am enjoying this cast of girls a lot. Actually.” —Monét [04:59]

• Bob points out a major fan complaint:

  “What I have seen is that Drag Race is unwatchable in reference to it literally being hard to find. Like, actually watching Drag Race is a decathlon of events.” —Bob [05:16]

• Both detail the hoops they jump through to watch the show (subscriptions, VPNs, etc.).

2. The Workroom Drama: Briar vs. Mia, Athena, and Juicy

[07:00–11:24]

• Breakdown of the tension between Briar, Mia, Athena, and Juicy:
  • Briar feels targeted and isolated (“Briar versus the world”).
  • Past relationship drama is brought up insensitively by Mia, who admits she isn’t sure of Briar’s boundaries due to her sometimes teasing behavior.
  • Athena and Juicy’s friendship is spotlighted; Bob observes Juicy’s conflict avoidance.
• Notable moment:

  "Honestly, I'm not gonna say I would start swinging, but I would. I would definitely be very upset." —Bob [10:17–11:17]

• Bob and Monét dig into how friendships form and fray under competition, with references to their own seasons' group chats.

3. Challenge Setup: Red Carpet Mash Up

[21:07–22:03]

• Queens pair up, pick two iconic celebrity red-carpet looks, and must mash them up into a single outfit apiece — then compete head-to-head against their own teammate.
• Monét tells listeners:

  "At first it seems like, oh, we're on the team… and then Ru's like, but you're gonna be competing against your team partner." [21:07–21:17]

• Bob and Monét list the pairs and their assigned celebs (e.g., Juicy & Briar: Lil Nas X & Rihanna).

4. Workroom Antics and Strategy

[22:43–27:32]

• Nene feels she must prove herself after a controversial win.
• Jane doesn’t want to pair with Discord (seen as a sewing threat by several contestants) — Bob claims it’s more about Jane’s self-image.
• Briar is shown in a rough state, crying on the floor; Mia is unmoved.
• Juicy seeks help with sewing (again), and Bob and Monét humorously debate the Twink Advantage.

Quote:

"That's how the Twinks be getting by with their charm." —Monét [28:15]

5. Emotional Makeup Mirror Moments

[29:38–32:31]

• Briar and Mia reconcile in a heartfelt exchange about feeling unlovable and grief/loss.
• Kenya shares her dramatic coming-out story, which Bob and Monét parody with affection.
• Monét:

  "That is a very… It's very touching. Very beautiful." [29:57]

6. “Who Wore It Best?”: Runway Critiques

[34:24–55:32]

• Bob and Monét analyze every pair’s mashup outfit, offering both technical critiques and comedic observations.
• They discuss body padding philosophy (hips and no breasts: “pear-shaped” drag), technical merits, and runway presentation.
• Notable shade and praise include:
  • Juicy and Jane: “Juicy killed it.”—Bob [35:59]
  • Discord’s ill-fitting designs and body shape.
  • Mikey’s “stunning” look (Bob is a big fan) vs critiques about appliqués (Monét disagrees).
  • Sierra Mist’s improvement and signature lip.
  • Darlene’s divisive chunky shoe choice.

Memorable Critique Exchange:

"Several girls are doing this. Briar blush is wearing hips, no titties. And then Discord is just... I don't know what made Discord think this was gonna look good on her body." —Bob [38:19]

“Jane absolutely wore it best. This coral looks like a melted. A black flame candle from Hocus Pocus.” —Monét [41:51]

7. Judging and Results

[56:02–64:36]

• All queens are critiqued (no "safe" group this week).
• Wild judge moments:
  • Michelle criticizes Juicy’s “cheap” fur (which the queens couldn’t choose themselves).
  • Law Roach goes in on Michelle and the queens’ looks.
  • Bob notes Law Roach “did a full 180 on Briar” (praised her accurate shoes, trashed the rest).
• Vita Von Te wins the challenge, though Monét would have picked Sierra Mist or Nene for fashion prowess.
• Bottom two: Kenya & Briar. Kenya wins the lip sync; Briar sashays away after a rough week ("fighting with everyone, crying on the floor, fainting, then eliminated in an ugly outfit" —Bob [64:41]).

8. The Briar Blush Fainting Incident

[58:06–61:38]

• On stage, Briar faints before critiques; rumors swirl about health (Monét reads fan comments about Briar’s real-life pneumonia turning into sepsis after the show).
• Bob, from experience:

  "When you faint, you honestly don't realize you fainted... It's like someone just edited out a chunk of your life, baby." —Bob [61:18]

• The duo debates whether pneumonia is contagious and joke about Drag Race health scares.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

“Honestly, I’m not gonna say I would start swinging, but I would. I would definitely be very upset.”
—Bob, regarding insensitive workroom drama [10:17]

"That's how the Twinks be getting by with their charm."
—Monét, on Juicy getting help [28:15]

"I would not have put the fur, the trim around this thing..."
—Bob, on questionable runway design choices [39:38]

"Michelle Visage and the amount of seasons of boy body and this and that ... And they have nothing to say about her padding and her body."
—Monét pointing out inconsistency in judging [39:47]

"Vita looks great, but she doesn’t wear titties. She wears hips with no titties. Same with Kenya Pleaser. Kenya Pleaser. I have big titties. Yep. Yes, you have, like, titties, but also then when you get in drag, you put on hips and then your titties look small."
—Bob [50:21]

On Briar's week:

“That's a really rough week. That's a rough week." —Bob [65:01]

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Sibling Watchery. No.

[Monet]

Today is rivalry. Today is rivalry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is a YouTube review show called Sibling Watchery, where Monet and I don't discuss our private lives. We do not.

[Monet]

My name is Monet, not Moanae.

[Jacob]

Oh, there is something I wanted to do, which is unrelated to Drag Race.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What?

[Monet]

What is it, Jacob, I love your ideas.

[Jacob]

Please, I need to give credit to credit where it's due, because this, I believe, was stolen directly from Sloppy seconds. But it was brilliant, so I would like us to do it. But credit goes to Sloppy Seconds. Okay, you both are in a room. Two people have guns pointed to your head. You both have to say the Exact same word at the same time, or you get shot. You have 10 seconds. 10, 9, 8.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, do we say it on one?

[Jacob]

Yes. Seven.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

On one.

[Jacob]

6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Rivalry. That's crazy.

[Monet]

What'd you say?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Blue. Boom. Boom.

[Monet]

What the fuck?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Boom. Yeah. What the. Yeah. Yeah.

[Monet]

What the rivalry, Literally.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because we are. It's pertinent to the situation we're in.

[Monet]

So someone's counting on. You're gonna say boom.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet]

Jacob, which one makes more sense, me or Bob?

[Jacob]

Let's ask the chat.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's pertinent to the situation we're in.

[Monet]

Can I tell you, I was also Mattea. Wait, really quick. Really quick anecdote. Matea was in Palm Springs. I opened up from Mattea in Palm Springs. We're staying at this hotel with all this, like, ornate furniture with sculpture. Like, every chair looked like it was from the set of Wednesday. So I was like, so whatever I put on my je. I bet I was to put on my jeans, bitch. There is. The chair has this tall thing coming out, and I just bend down and boom, bust my face into the chair. I start bleeding all over the room.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That didn't happen.

[Monet]

That did happen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You bust your lip, like, a few days ago.

[Monet]

Bleeding everywhere.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Where's your. Where's your.

[Monet]

I have a big cut right here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

On this expensive furniture.

[Monet]

Yes. I say all that to say sometimes. You know what? I know I deserve some blame here. I should have been watching what I was doing. But everything doesn't. Furniture don't need to be all that. Just give me a fucking chair that doesn't have a fucking sculpture on top of it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Blaming the chair is crazy. You saying I have some blame when the chair was just sitting there is crazy.

[Monet]

Anyway, so this is another episode of Sibling Watcher. This is episode four of season 18 of RuPaul's Drag Race. And, you know, I have to say, I haven't been. Not a lot, but a little fodder on threads and Twitter. People have been like, ugh, this season. I genuinely. I'm enjoying this season. I like these girls, I think on a whole, I think they're funny. And I am enjoying this cast of girls a lot. Actually.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

People don't like the season.

[Monet]

Like, just. But, you know, I think it's just this spot. What it is, is I'm seeing the people that they won't be happy with anything. Anything that happens, they're like, ugh, I miss the old. I love when the cast was younger. When lastly, they were like, ugh, I wish they were older. I think that that's what I'm seeing a lot of.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I haven't really seen much of that. What I have seen is that Drag Race is unwatchable in reference to it literally being hard to find. Like, actually watching Drag Race is a decathlon of events. It is. Subscribe to this. You the VPN to this. For those of you who wonder. What I do is I have a subscription to ypresense plus and I use a vpn. So, yes, I have to subscribe to two different things, but I put my VPN in the uk. And then if you are in the UK and probably other countries too. But if you're in the uk, Y percent plus airs the episodes that night.

[Monet]

But I mean, what I do is if I'm home, I watch it on Sling using Jacob's account. But if I'm not home, I. My account, iOS is not. I also, I bought the season just fully on Apple TV. So I just have to wait till after 2am and it's in my inbox. But other than that. Yeah, Bussy Queen put out a whole video. I think it was Bussy Queen about, like, why Drag Race is unwatchable and. And hard to find. I'm like, it really is. It truly is. It's kind of ridiculous.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob, let's cancel our Sling account. I do wonder if. Should we invite Bussy Queen onto the podcast one day?

[Monet]

That'd be fun.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ain't she Canadian? I don't know why I said, like, it was a bad thing, man.

[Monet]

You sound like you used to sound like Trump.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ain't she Canadian? Ain't she Canadian?

[Monet]

Um, yeah, I'll rip.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Mia Starr is saying that she does not agree. Okay, Mia Starr, let's just call a spade a spade. Mia Star does you know that that's.

[Monet]

Problematic, by the way, which I found out the other day.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Call a spade a spade.

[Monet]

Yeah. It has problematic origins.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What is the origin?

[Monet]

It's about something with black people.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm black, so I feel like I can say that. Okay, Mia Starr off rip is being like, I do not want Briar blush here. I do not like this bitch. She straight to the camera like, I wish Briar got eliminated. She's ass. I do not like her. She is being very vocal and then. But Mia's like, okay, I want to just bring up that. I want to take a moment to discuss what happened between us yesterday. Briar. Finally we get the answer. What did Mia say? What did Mia say? Mia apparently brought up Briar's past relationship. That did not work. Out.

[Monet]

No, Briah started talking about it, and then Mia chimed in. She was like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And.

[Jacob]

Mia was like, whose fault was that? I bet it was yours.

[Monet]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mia was like. Mia's like, well, I bet it was your fault. Like, Shayna try to, like, banter with her and, like, poke her. And Briar's in her makeup, and Briah's clearly not entertained. Briah's like, girl, like, she's not responding. She's being unresponsive, and. Cause I guess this is a tender spot for her with her relationship. And Amia's like, well, bitch, I don't know where the line is with you, because you. I've seen you in this workroom going at Athena when Athena has said, stop. You are teasing other girls. So, like, where's the line, Mary? Where's the.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I will say this. I can see how people can misconstrue where the line is for people, but that doesn't mean, like, I can see how it is really hard to offer grace to someone who doesn't offer it to anyone else. But it seems like that was clearly where the line was. But then apparently she apologized off camera, and then Briar did not accept her apology. But then when the camera's turned back on, Briar wanted to accept her apology. And then it's really rare that you let that. You see Drag Race be like, let you. The girls acknowledge when the, Like. Oh, but now the cameras are rolling. They really, really don't let you acknowledge anything that happened off camera when you're. When you're on. When you're on ice. So it. I. So obviously, this must have got real fucking heated. This one must have got real heated.

[Monet]

Well, RuPaul told y', all, nothing you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Said matters unless the camera's rolling.

[Monet]

11 seasons ago. 11 seasons ago, RuPaul been done told y', all, nothing matters unless the cameras are rolling. So.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But. So then. So then it gets crazier. This is literally Briar versus the world. So then Mia's like, well, you. Like, Mia's going on about how she's like, well, you don't respect people's boundaries. And then Athena's like, yeah, you don't. You don't. And then she's like. And I think it's weird that yesterday. Cause Mia brought up that she was harassing Athena all day. Even when Athena said, I don't like this, and use very clear language. I am very sensitive. Please stop. I am not in a good mood. And then she's like. And then Apparently, Briar goes, and the funniest thing about all of this is that Juicy, your daughter, your best friend, doesn't even stand up for you, which sounds crazy to say to someone. I know how it feels when your best friend is talking to someone and talking shit about you and they don't stand up. So I know how that feels personally.

[Monet]

Well, also, what Briar, like, Briar's saying that she's doing all this to defend Juicy from Athena. And Athena's like, bitch, My best friend. She's like. She's like. She's like, defend me from Juicy. She's like, bitch, this is my best friend. This is my drag daughter. What the fuck are you talking about? She met you at this point, what, two weeks ago? Not even seven days ago? The fuck are you talking about?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's also very important is that at one point, at one point, Juicy goes up to Athena and goes, you are still my best friend. Keep that in mind when they pair up. Just. Just keep that in mind. I think Juicy is. Honestly, I don't think. I don't know Juicy. Obviously, I don't know any of these girls. I do not think Juicy is confrontational. I think that Juicy is afraid of confrontation, and she's probably conflict avoidant. So it seems like instead of, like, addressing an issue at large, Juicy will probably wait until things calm down and then communicate with one person, then communicate with another person. As opposed to jumping in the fray. When the girls are going back and forth. Juicy be, zip, lip lock, tight lip. She don't say nothing. But I would have felt some kind of way if I told this person, like multiple times in a day. I'm really not in a good mood. I'm genuinely just asking for a little bit of grace here. And then after I said, you just go. And the funniest part is that your best friend doesn't even stick up for you. Honestly, I'm not gonna say I would start swinging, but I would. I would definitely be very upset.

[Monet]

I was so confused why Athena had that blonde wig under. Under her thing. Did you see that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe she had the lip sync. I don't know.

[Monet]

Maybe I'm like, bitch, your entire head is covered. Why you have this blonde wig on?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was. She took that.

[Monet]

She took that face keenly well kind of face Kinney thing off. I was like, there's a full wig under here. What the fuck was that for?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't even notice it. But her makeup, without the. Without the facekini. Her makeup looked crazy, but it worked with The Facekini, though, it worked perfectly.

[Monet]

With the Facekini was great, but without the face Kinney, it was crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But so now we get into the next day, right? Cause it feels like Athena. Cause Athena is starting to feel like Briar is trying to drive a wedge between her and Juicy. So the next day, Ru tells the girls who match up with their besties. Briar goes straight to Juicy, mind you, but also, Juicy just stayed in there with her mouth open like this.

[Monet]

No, she did. And she also did, like. It was. It was one of those, like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I think she. I think she's uncomfortable.

[Monet]

Yeah. Because, well, she. Obviously, we can see their attentions high in the room with Athena and Briar. So she's kind of like. Also, it's clear she is developing a bond, a friendship with Briar as well, which is fine, especially. And people always, like, the girls get. So, like. I will say this after you finish Drag Race. When you do Drag Race the first season, you know these girls for the max. The max. You can know these girls for six weeks, and you really believe in. Well, I don't know about Season Hate. Season Hay was different. But season. But in season 10, everyone. Season 10, everybody was like, we were very close. We still talk, but y' all literally had a group chat called Season Hate. There was, like, tensions between people, right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no. It was only called Season Hate because it was Cynthia. Cynthia Lee Fontaine. Cynthia Lee Fontaine called it that because it rhymed. There was no tension. We all just.

[Monet]

Well, also Dax, literally, the day y' all started it, Dax left.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, but it was still called Season Hate.

[Monet]

And who left?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jerk. And how are things with the vixen?

[Monet]

Okay, that was after the season, though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ours was after the season. No, no, no.

[Monet]

After the season aired.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm just saying, how are things? How are things with you with your girl? How often do you.

[Monet]

And it aired when y' all first came back, before anyone even knew y'.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All.

[Monet]

On Drag Race, Dax literally. Literally, the first line of y' all group chat was, dax has left the group chat.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it wasn't the first line, but it's one of the first lines. But it's like top. It's like top three. But I think she never addressed why she left the group. I think she probably left because maybe she didn't recognize what it was, but she never rejoined. And it's kind of become a thing. But we don't have. There is no tension with our. With my season. All of us, only person. We don't talk to is Robbie Turner. And that's cause she don't talk to nobody.

[Monet]

So like you form the girls really get close and you really bond because it is a unique experience that not a lot of people have. And doing this competition show. So you do get close to people very quickly and you do form bonds with other girls. I see how Briar and Juicy are forming their friendship and so ye. So. But Athena's still best friends.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think they're best friends. Less than 12 hours ago. I know, team up with your bestie. Which why I'm saying I think that yes, there's a bond happening. But I feel like Juicy probably wanted to be on Athena's team. But Juicy's conflict avoided. So instead of being like, oh, I'm gonna go with my actual best friend, she's just standing there with her mouth open being like. Cause she's not being like. Cause everyone normally when you team up with your best friend, you're like woo. You're not like. And then Athena comes over and then Briar's like, sorry.

[Monet]

Well, we know, we know Brian likes to stir the pot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would say Juti is not a ride or die type. I mean I don't. What, what's less than? Okay. Ride or die. And then like the mid level. What's like down there where you like really like you will not stand up for your friends. Cause that's where Juicy's at. Juicy, don't speak up. Juicy, don't be like, get off me. Juicy, be like. Not that she has to, but Juicy is very conflict avoidant. Like crazy conflict avoidant.

[Monet]

Okay. I think Bob, I think we were signing. We're signing off a lot of emotions to the. Bob was like, she never addresses any conflicts ever. She.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's.

[Monet]

We, we, we. We only know like this girl for a little snapshot of the show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This what we do on the show. Okay, how about the snapshots you gave last season when. When homegirl from Seattle was the had no talent and couldn't do nothing and couldn't breathe white and walk right and.

[Monet]

Think White After 12 weeks, I was like this, this is the talk about this, you know, this bitch for. You know this bitch for. For two weeks.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'll be very shocked. We're on week four. I'll be very shocked. This has been four episodes already.

[Monet]

Oh my God. Is it four weeks? Yeah. This is episode four.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. This is season eight, season 18, episode four. I'll be very shocked if Briar gets into any. She seems like she just doesn't like conflict.

[Monet]

You said Briar. You mean Juicy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Juicy. The teams are Juicy and Briar who get Lil Nas X and Rihanna. Discord and Jane who get Cher and Sarah Paulson, Mikey and Nene who get J. Lo and Nicki Minaj, Sierra and Kenya who get Gaga and Britney and Justin. Mia and Vita who get Lil Kim.

[Monet]

And no yeah, Mia and Vita do Katy Perry and Lil Kim and Darlena do Kim K and Zendaya at the Zoom 2 premiere. I like how all of them are like award shows and Met Gala. Zendaya has so many dope looks they had to go for a Dune 2 premiere. Did you see RuPaul's blurry hairline?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I have not paid any attention to that.

[Monet]

The hairline. It's only because it's such a stark contrast. His entire face is in full 8K and his hairline is just mayonnaise on a camera. It drives me crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I have not even come close to paying attention to it. Like literally not even one time.

[Monet]

For the first time ever, there's been a truly beautiful medical breakthrough. One shot makes you hot, but with terrifying consequences. In the new original series, FX Is the Beauty.

FX Is the Beauty now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney for bundled subscribers. Support for this podcast is brought to you by Walden University.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ever catch yourself thinking, what if I could go after what I actually want and really make a difference?

[Monet]

Well, you're not alone.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You guys know I'm a huge fan of anything that feels nostalgic. And for me, nothing hits quite like a cold root beer. It takes me straight back to the 1950s when I was a kid and summer barbecues. But as I've gotten more health conscious, I realized that traditional soda just isn't gonna fit my lifestyle anymore. I don't want to, you know, sugar crash, but I also don't want to give up that me time ritual in the afternoon. That's when I found Olipop. I love these sodas. Honestly, Jacob actually turned me onto these. They're absolutely delicious. It is a new kind of soda that completely reimagines the experience. I'm drinking the classic root beer, and I'm telling you, it is the exact taste that takes you back, but without the downside of traditional soda. What's wild is that it's actually a functional drink. While most of us are missing out on our daily fiber, actually, two out of three Americans suffer from digestive issues, and 95% of us don't get enough fiber. One can of lollipop is packed with plant fiber and botanicals. It's low sugar, high fiber, and is formulated to support your digestive health.

[Monet]

So the girlies are switching because it's a better for you alternative that didn't taste like, you know, nasty little health drink. Now it's the go to afternoon pick me up. It supports gut health and satisfies that craving for something bubbly and sweet. If you've been looking to dish the traditional soda but aren't ready to give up the flavor, you have to join the Olipop family. Get a free can of Olipop. Buy any two cans of Olipop in store, and we'll pay you back for one. Works on any flavor, any retailer. The URL is drinkolipop.com rivalry. Olipop is sold [e-mail] and and Amazon, and it's available in the soda aisle and with the chilled beverages at thousands of retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Target, Costco, and Whole Foods. So what? The challenge is that they the girls in pairs, they have to. They both get. Each girl picks a look from the board. They get a look, and then they have to, as a unit, make looks combined. Not combined. Incorporate materials from both look to green. And then they're gonna go head to head. Oh, sorry. They have to mash up the looks together. And then they're gonna go head to head, and RuPaul's gonna choose who wore it best. Between the two of them. So at first it seems like, oh, we're on the team. At first, Mia was like, oh, my God, I would fit her. This is great. She almost won the first week. Like, yes, yes, yes. And then Ru's like, but you're gonna be competing against your team partner.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And, yeah, she gagged.

[Monet]

I think it's so funny. She goes. And then the diarrhea said, yeah, she gagged.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I would not want to go up against Vita. And then they also show that Vita happens to. Like, one of her things is recreating looks, and she recreates looks. Like, y'. All. I mean, y' all saw it on the show. It was gaggy. Like, that Janelle Monae look was.

[Monet]

The Janelle Monae look in particular is very, very small.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was spot on. Yeah, spot on.

[Monet]

But, yeah. And also, as we'll see later. I mean, but some girls really turned it out. I would be, like, freaking out about Incorporated. Like, if I had Mikey and Nene, I would be like, bitch, cheetah and this jungle porn. Which I guess now he's saying it out loud. Cause the cheetah's a jungle animal or a leper or whatever the fuck it is. But still, it was stressing me out, like, trying to incorporate it and make it look cohesive and pretty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I don't think it would bother me too much. Cause they all. I mean, I. Most of them were. Could be fine if you just take some interesting, you know, perspective and, you know, make it work. Uh, so I wouldn't have been too stressed out about any of them. Let me look. Lil Nas x Rihanna is probably one of the best ones, because I think the yellow and pink look so good together. Um, Sharon Sarah Paulson was an interesting one. Because that. Well, no, because it's black and that, like, knitted out with.

[Monet]

Yeah, I was fine. It was also Darlene and Athena, that floral with the. With, like, the metallic. That's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I kind of like that. I thought it was. That was kind of. I thought it was kind of a good little mashup idea, actually.

[Monet]

I would never take. To put those two materials together. I would never.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So when they started sewing, Nene feels like she has a lot to prove because the girls didn't like her last look. She's, like, really feeling, like, because she won, but they thought she didn't deserve it. So now she's feeling some kind of way about that. And then Athena is keeping her. Go ahead.

[Monet]

I want to say, girls, it's for the future. Girls like I know it's easy to because of competition and you becoming friends or whatever, but, like, who cares what these girls think? Who gives a fuck what Mia, Briar, Athena, Juicy? Think about your look. Who cares? You only care about what RuPaul and Michelle and Carson and TS and La Roche think. Who gives a fuck if they don't like your outfit?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Um, I mean, yeah, but you also have to be there with these people. And, like, it could be. I think the competition is. Can be really isolating and exhausting. It's. You are like a super sensitive version of yourself. As we see coming up soon, Briar is having the worst week possible. Like, she's having a horrible week. Just like, just bad. So Athena is like, watching like, helicoptering over Athena and Briar over Briar and Juicy because she's like, leave my fucking daughter alone. Basically, then we find out that Jane does not want to be paired with Discord because she feel like. Because she can sew. And I'm like, I don't feel like Discord is really that much of a. I mean, she can sew, but I don't think that Discord is like this, like, sewing. I would be afraid to be against Jane. I'd be afraid to be against Vita. I'd be afraid to be against Nene.

[Monet]

Oh, yeah, Nene. Yeah, I agree. But I mean, there must be something that we're not getting or know about Discord. That. Because not Jane said it, someone else said it too. So there must be something that Discord has done or said that the girls think that she is a really good senior and she. And she's someone to be feared in a sewing challenge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I gotta be honest. I think it says more about Jane than it does about Discord. Because Jane is like, I'm listening. I feel like Jane be saying stuff so people won't think she's full of herself, but in reality, she's kind of full of herself. Like, I'm full of myself too. Like, I believe in myself. We know I don't need nobody to believe in me because I believe in myself. Um, and I think that Jane don't want to be like, I'm about to scrub this court into the ground. She's like, God, I'm just so nervous to compete against someone like this court.

[Monet]

Well, we'll get there, but I don't. Anyway, we'll get to the looks in a little bit. Um, you said a little bit, but. But yeah, Briar is feeling really down at the roof, which is very valid. Like when you were. When you're in the bottom, you feel like the girls are mad at you. You had a fight with Mia. Like, she is. She's really down in dust, and she has a moment, and she is crying on her fabric on the floor. There's one thing to cry. Crying on the floor. You are. It's just crying on the floor feels extra sad. Like you are broken down, beat up, and tired. She's like, puddle on the floor crying. I'm like, girl, get it together, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And Mia does not care. Mia's like, I saw her crying on the floor. The way Mia has no tears and no. She's like, it's a rap. Whenever the camera points at me, she's like, hold on. I got something else to say about this bitch. I'm not done.

[Monet]

So it is no shock. No one is shocked that Juicy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait. Juicy what?

[Monet]

Does not know how to sew.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. I wrote this down. I'm intrigued by the. It's interesting to me that she can make a lined hoodie, but she can't make a train.

[Monet]

She probably. She probably has. She probably doesn't know, like, the geometry of it all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I feel there's more geometry in making a lined hoodie. Like, she had a hoodie that was fully lined on the inside. She was wearing it. It was like a crop top hoodie. Basically, I was like, how can you make that but you can't make a train? This is crazy.

[Monet]

Maybe they didn't show it on camera. Maybe someone else gave her a little assistance. Because, I mean, the week before what she made, the last design challenge was not even in the neighborhood of what she made today. But, you know, Juicy has a little boyish charm. She comes over to Jane. She's like, hey. You know, like, she goes over to Jane's like, ugh, I just wish someone could help me make this skirt, this train. I mean, I just. If there was someone in this part.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Of the room that you have. Exactly. I'd have been like. I'd have been like, you gonna keep wishing this honestly feels like Rob Roush on the traitors. Everyone's like, he's just so. I'd be like, this just annoying. Get the fuck out of here. Go somewhere.

[Monet]

But Jane is like, okay, I'm gonna help her again. She's like, but I think she's gonna run out of people to help her out. I'm like, no. Cause you did it both times. What do you mean she's gonna run out of people to help her out? You did it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, it wasn't Just that because Mikey helped her out and Mikey helped her in the improv challenge. Jane helped her in the last sewing challenge. Jane's helping her in this sewing challenge.

[Monet]

And Jane helped her write her verse. Didn't you say Jane helped her write her verse?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She wrote a verse. Someone. Was it her? I don't.

[Monet]

I think so. I don't remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So has she gotten help on literally every challenge now? I don't think anyone helped herself that last dress, though. I think the first sewing challenge she did about herself. I hope no one helped her with that.

[Monet]

I feel like we saw a copy of someone helping help with, like, sudden little something. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can't remember either. But either way, we know for a fact that she got help three out of the four episodes.

[Monet]

Yeah. Yeah. And yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Which is crazy.

[Monet]

I mean, listen, when you are charming, Lil Twink girl, that's how the Twinks be getting by with their charm.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's how I did it.

[Monet]

Then we see Briar and Mia. They're at the makeup mirror, and they finally make up, which is nice. Do you like. Is this a nice moment for you, Bob? Do you like this moment?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I mean, it's fine. It's fine. I mean, you skipped over something that's really big. Athena scrapped her entire outfit. She put a go day in the wrong part of her dress. So then the next day, Athena threw her entire outfit away. Started with a whole new outfit.

[Monet]

I was like, where was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay.

[Monet]

Cause the first one was. It was unconventional material. Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They didn't, by the way. I don't know. They did not give us this much fabric back on my season. Honey, you didn't have enough fabric to throw something away.

[Monet]

Well, I think it's because she had. You basically worked it from two boxes and Darlene. But Darlene is a pretty tall guy, so she would need a lot of fabric as well.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But, yeah, me and Briar, they're stationed right next to each other. So Briar wants to clear the air, right? And then Briar is, like, talking about how she. They basically, as Michael Rappaport said, they commiserate.

[Monet]

Commiserating.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They actually do commiserate. And they. They. So Briar talks about how she was. She feels unlovable as a. Because of her past. And then Mia talks about her late brother who passed away to drug addict due to drug addiction, and how actually her entrance look was made from his jeans, which I thought that was really sweet.

[Monet]

That was really sweet. It was really lovely. Because they were distant. And she feels, you know, a lot of regret that she. That she. Because of her brother's addiction and being incarcerated, that she kind of like pushed him away. And, you know, which is. Which is very valid. So it is nice to. At one of. Probably the biggest. One of the biggest moments in your career, you walk into the workroom with your brother's old jeans all sewn up together. That is a very. It's very touching. Very beautiful. Kenya's mother didn't know she was. She was one of those people on tlc. I had no idea. Have you ever watched I didn't know I was pregnant? Some of these stories on I didn't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Know I was pregnant, but I've never watched like a full episode.

[Monet]

Some of these stories when I didn't know I was pregnant are crazy. This woman gave birth to like a 12 pound baby and she had no idea she was pregnant.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, Mia's mother did not know she was pregnant. And she gave birth to her on the bathroom floor in her dormitory. And then Mia, then. I mean, Kenya. Sorry. And then Kenya was raised by her grandmother. And then Kenya did not really reconnect with her mother until she came out during gospel choir rehearsal. And apparently it's the most affirming gospel choir ever. Cause they all came out and said, we love this faggot. We love this little, little faggot. I was like, what in the.

[Monet]

Didn't mention. I said, this story is so cinematic.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You think Kenya's lying?

[Monet]

No, no, I think she's lying. But she. But just so she was like. She was like. Cause wait, what was the song they were singing? This is very important to someone.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You Got a Friend in Me?

[Monet]

Yes. They were rehearsing a gospel rendition of youf Got a Friend in Me. And Kenya was like. And then she was like. Right when we got to the bridge, I was like, I know what I need to do. And she goes out of the room, but she's crying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Remember? She's crying. She burst out into tears.

[Monet]

She's crying. So she run through the church auditorium doors. And then she.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

With a train made by Jane Doan.

[Monet]

Jane Doan. And then with also a hoodie lined by Juicy on her head. She runs out, she calls her mom. She's like, mom, I'm gay. And her mom is like, child. We all knew. And then the entire gospel choir, they come through into the hallway and they make a circle around her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They pick her up in a T pose.

[Monet]

In a T pose. They pick Gigania up and they all sing the song and they all get together. The sun rises and then she has a great coming out story with her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Mom and a flower bloom from her pussy. But it is a beautiful story. That being said, this was a very emotional makeup mirror moment. This was a very emo makeup mirror session. Every once in a while it'd be like that. Every once in a while it's gonna be a super emo mirror moment. You know what I mean?

[Monet]

Bob, don't joke about that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What emo mirror moment? Oh, don't joke about that. Honestly, what are you talking about again? Eating disorders.

[Monet]

Right, Right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I gotta say something about that moment still tickles me to this day. That moment is something about that moment. To this day. It's don't joke about that. The fact that it became a meme and it's don't, don't joke about that. That really still to this day sends me to the moon. Healthy doesn't have to mean perfect.

[Monet]

For the first time ever, there's been a truly beautiful medical breakthrough through one shot mix ya hot. But with terrifying consequences. In the new original series, FX's debut, the glamorous world of supermodels turns deadly as mysterious deaths draw in FBI agents and a shadowy billionaire who will stop at nothing to protect his empire. From executive producer Ryan Murphy, FX's the Beauty, now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney for bundled subscribers, it is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Time to get into some looks.

[Monet]

Paul, this dress, this gown is so. I need. I want more gowns like this. Every gown I have like things at the bottom, trumpets at the bottom. I want like a column gown like this. It looks so. It's so beautiful. And I love the way that. Cause I don't think. This cannot be one fabric. This seems like it was like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I think Zaldi might be doing a little more than putting one fabric together.

[Monet]

Yes. This is. It's RuPaul looks. This is. RuPaul looks stunning. I love this. And I love this cunty red nail and that red lip. I love it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

At some point, Michelle Visage has got to run out of black dresses.

[Monet]

She never will.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

At some point, she. She said. She said. Leopard print. Who? Cheetah print. Who? She. She don't even know that girl no more. Let's move on to the first group who is doing Rihanna at the Met Gala versus Lil Nas X at the Grammar. Can I just say, I. This Lil Nas X look is so iconic. It is so like. This Lil Nas X look, to me, is so iconic. I love this look. It just. This look says so much about who he is as a queer person. It was great. So we go on to.

[Monet]

I mean, and Rihanna is literally the fashion goddess. I remember when this was. This was Gao Pei, I believe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

China through the looking glass.

[Monet]

Yeah, China through the looking glass. But the designer was Gao Pei. And Rihanna. I mean, Rihanna is. She shuts it down in the Met Gal every time she does it. And this one was fucking sickening. As soon as they walked out in my. Juicy killed it. I think she looks great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think Juicy and Jane killed it.

[Monet]

That's not fair, Bob. You don't know how much of it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jane did, but I know she did something.

[Monet]

Juicy looks really good. I love that she gave a nod to Rihanna with the hair and using the appliques to give a little bit of what Rihanna's train did. I think it was really great incorporating the shoulder. The shoulder pads for Lil Nas X. And I think she looks really, really, really good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, she looks great. She does look great. As far as Briar blush goes, I do not like this look. I don't think I like anything about this look, actually. I particularly don't like how her leggings go halfway into her shoe. Either stop at the ankle or go all the way into the shoe. One of the two. And she seems so bizarre. Like, she seems very robotic today. We'll get to it. We'll get to it. But I think that Juicy wore it best.

[Monet]

Yeah, Juicy definitely wore it best. Let's go on to Cher at the Oscars and Sarah Paulson at the Ocean's Eight. Oh, she did. She did. They did a premiere for her look too. Which Trinity interest look. Trinity did A recreation of that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This 1986, the year I was born. 39 years ago, 40 years ago is.

[Monet]

Yo, look at Cher. Cher looks. Oh, my God, she's so fucking fierce and cool, and she's that girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, this is obviously. And a Cher. Bob Mackie collab will always be iconic. So let's go into what it looks. So can I just say. And we're going to talk about this, because this seems to be the trend alert. I do not understand. I still think that people should be wearing a little bit of padding depending on your body type. Most people need some padding. And what I really don't understand is when you. When you decide to wear hips but no titties. Cause you just look like you're shaped like a pear. Several girls are doing this. Briar blush is wearing hips, no titties. And then Discord is just. I don't know what made Discord think this was gonna look good on her body. I don't think. And I don't know. I don't know what made Discord think this would be a flattering shape. Because the thing is, when you do brush but you don't have breasts, it amplifies how little cuppage there is there.

[Monet]

I think that some girls, they see these supermodels who are just up and down, like, you know, rails. You know what I'm saying? But you're not a supermodel. You're not. You're not a supermodel, babe. You are a short drag queen. And I think that if she had had a little hit and a little titty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God. Keep going. Keep dragging her. Keep dragging it.

[Monet]

Anyway, Bob is being Bob. I think if she had had a little hip and a little titty in a. The hip would have helped keep the dress up, and the titty would have helped it stay up, too, which would have made it. And it would look more flattering on your body. Like, I do think that the overall design of this. I do like the design of this better, but the way it was sitting on her body was not flattering. And like, she does Discord. I don't think Discord has worn hips one time this entire season. I don't think she's worn titties either.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think she. The craftsmanship. I will say the way she did it is really good. Like, you can tell there's detail that goes into this. But, like, the fit is so awful. Her. Her. It makes her. It looks like her neck is. Starts where her collarbone does even Even lower. And then she has a big, weird butt. And her shoulders look, she looks like she's doing this because it makes her neck look like it's in a weird spot.

[Monet]

Feels like she's going to. This bitch looks like she's melting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I would not have put the fur, the trim around this thing. I would have tried to incorporate the greening somewhere else, I think.

[Monet]

I mean, I'm not actually. I'm not mad at it. Cause I think mixing this fur with this sequin fabric, this thing about it, especially when it was moving, it looked cool. But I mean, it just looks awful on her body. Like, I just. I don't understand why she keeps on doing this. And I'm gagged. Michelle Visage and the amount of seasons of boy body and this and that and the other that you come up with. These girls, they let this bitch walk in this one way four times, and they have no. They have nothing to say about her patting in her body. Michelle Passage ass is saying that. She say she don't have nothing to say about this. After all these seasons reading Girls for.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Boy body, I will say this episode, her body, her outfit is really not doing her body any favors. Like, with the feather look, I actually think. I thought that it worked well with what she had going on. The way that she didn't pad the.

[Monet]

One where she had to show, like, her favorite part. That looked crazy, too.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can't remember that. I probably didn't like it. Let's go on to Jane. Don't. I like this look. Obviously, this look would look better in different fabrics, but she's doing a silhouette that doesn't really go with this fabric. But I like. What's your problem with this look?

[Monet]

I didn't really like it. I get the Erte inspiration, but I didn't really like. She had the hood and then she had the wig on top of it. This fascinating piece is nice. And I commend her for, like, for the construction of this. I think that this is pretty well done. But I didn't like. I didn't like the hood thing with the head. With the head thing. And I think she did it before. Jane likes a pointy hip. Have you noticed this? This is like, her second outfit with, like, a pointy hip.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah. I guess I did notice it. It looks like she got Truffula trees exploding from her hip. I will say, if you're gonna wear a hood, zip in the back. I've learned this the hard way, because when it zips in the front, you just See this big, ugly fucking zipper? It's like, huge, ugly zipper in the front of your thing. Yeah, I noticed it during, like, just during the episode, but you can't see it here in the shot. But the zipper should be in the back, though, in my opinion. But I do think that Jane wore it best.

[Monet]

Jane absolutely wore it best. This coral looks like a melted. A black flame candle from Hocus Pocus.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Up next, we have JLO in the dress that literally created Google image searches. Literally created Google image search. And Nicki Minaj at the 2011 Grammys. These are both really good looks. And I think. I actually think these fabrics work really well together. Am I insane? Have I lost my mind?

[Monet]

What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Mikey Meeks looks incredible. Like, Mikey Meeks looks so stunning. This dress is so pretty. Her face is so beautiful. I like this blue thing, the blue mesh. This looks. Have I lost my mind?

[Monet]

No. When Mikey turned the corner, I was impressed. I think Mikey looked really good. I did not like the appliques going on the front. That looks weird to me. I love what she did with having this. The jungle fabric as this shawl kind of tail piece. I thought that was good. And the appliques, I agree with the judges. The appliques were a little wild. I think there was a different way she could have used the appliques, but it just looked like you just stuck some appliques on this, like, spandex fabric in the front that looks. That cheapens it down. And I think if the mesh was a different color, I think I could be into it, but. And I think I do think her makeup looked beautiful. And the hair. And doing what she did with the hair was really cool, but I think the appliques took it out. I'm trying to look at this outfit without the appliques, and I think I see she put the appliques on to tie the jungle theme into the cheetah to make it make more sense. But there was a different way we could have done the appliques. Other than that, I do think she looks beautiful, and I did. And I think the ruching was strong on its own. Plopping appliques on top of it was weird to me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. I like it. I think this look looks great. She looks so fucking stunning. I love how she looks in this.

[Monet]

And Nini Coco killed it. I thought this was a really smart way, draping this green chiffon. I think it is around this way. And tying it in and putting and using that and using that swarovski Rope and tying it and making these little knots on her hair.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not giving them girls no Swarovskis.

[Monet]

I mean, it's just trimming. Look at that little trim store.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They didn't give them girls no damn Swarovskis.

[Monet]

Whatever. Whatever. Crystal trimming.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Drag Race. Keep ass. Didn't get these girls no damn Swarovski crystals.

[Monet]

The crystal trimming was really fun, and I think. And I love that she. That she didn't make just a catsuit. Like, the bottom of the footing of the catsuit, it kind of flared out, which was an interesting shape. As opposed to what Briar tried to do and tuck it into the shoe? No, she made it a little flare at the bottom, and I think she looks great. Nene is a great designer and a seamstress, and I like her POV on fashion. It's really cool.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. This looks really good. And honestly, it's really simple and really effective. She didn't try to build the world. She made what she made, and it looks genuinely really fucking good. I'm very impressed by her. Let's move on to our next one. We have Lady Gaga and Britney Spears ex Justin Timberlake. And this is Sierra Miss.

[Monet]

That is the VMAs, 10 years apart. That's hilarious, y'.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All. Sierra Mist ate the girlies up. Sierra Miss looks amazing. This and Monet, she didn't do the. Are you happy? She toned the lip down.

[Monet]

She toned it down. She toned it down. And I think that looks so much better. I'm like, sierra, yeah. You can do your signature lip thing. It doesn't have to go with every outfit. I think I like that she changed it up here. And I agree she tore this up. But her fucking walking presentation is so distracting. I was like, you're not doing your kooky, weird alien thing today. You're giving, like, supermodel going to an award show. Give us just glam.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was a very strange one.

[Monet]

Girl, just walk down the Runway. Walk down the Runway in your beautiful outfit with your beautiful fascinator and your. And your face mask. You don't need to be doing fucking going, aliens attack.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I wonder what interfacing she used on that headpiece.

[Monet]

You mean. I mean, what, like. You mean like the brand?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, the interfacing. Like, what interfacing does she use to give it that structure?

[Monet]

Maybe. Maybe she. No, I was gonna say horse hair, but it'll be. It'll be floppy $, I'm sure. Yeah, but she makes a lot of things at home. She probably has a whole arsenal of different things to use when in a pinch to do that sort of thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It looks really good. This is such a fucking good look. She looks amazing. I agree. Kenya Pleaser did not make a great dress.

[Monet]

She didn't. But I will say, going from watching the first week to this week, night and day, I didn't. I was like, I wrote down who made her outfit because I can't believe the person who made that thing the first week can also make this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I'll give her that. But we're not grading her on a curve.

[Monet]

I know. No, no, no. I'm not saying that I think she. Her dress is bad, but I was just gagged that this same person made these two looks. That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And like, is the beading supposed to be. Is that bead fringe supposed to be meat or blood or something?

[Monet]

Probably, I would imagine. Also, I love when Michelle was like, you know, kudos to you because it's hard to work with denim. Bitch. It's probably a four way stretch denim.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like the other certainly a four way stretch.

[Monet]

Yes. I don't think you're supposed. So Michelle acting like she working with fucking denim that doesn't stretch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's be clear. I've worked with denim. It's not that hard. I'm not that I can't sew that well, but I've worked with denim. I remember, like when I was on for like a year, I made this like really cute, like pleated denim skirt, tearaway skirt for this friend of mine who worked at Jekyll and Hyde. It's really not that hard. You just can't make like a stretch dress. You can't make like a body, a bodcon dress out of it. If you do, you won't be able to walk. But yeah, obviously we don't have to go into this much longer. Sierra Ms. Wear it best, obviously.

[Monet]

Oh, 100%.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So now we have Katy Perry at the 2019 Met Gala and Lil Kim.

[Monet]

At the VMAs, which LaRose said. Do you agree with LaRos? Do you think Lila Kim's is one of the most iconic. Iconic of all time?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you were gonna think about like top 100 looks and there have been hundreds of thousands, probably at this point, hundred million. I think that Lil Kim's one city outdress is a is. It was literally like a cultural reset. It was a massive moment. It got so much attention. It. It was where shock value meets fashion meets camp. So, yeah, I would say this is definitely, probably gonna be in there.

[Monet]

Yeah, I would say so too, I think it's really fierce. So we have Mia Star and Vita Von Te.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The blues they gave them are not the blue that Lil Kim was wearing, which is driving me crazy.

[Monet]

No one wore blue. What are you. What are you talking about? They all wore lavender.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Purple. Oh, well, the purple they gave the girls is not the purple they gave sort of ableist. The purple they gave the girls is not the same.

[Monet]

I did not say anything about you. I just said you. You said, what are you doing?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know what I'm doing. You're colorblind. You know what's going on.

[Monet]

I just corrected you. I wasn't able. I wasn't saying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, you didn't.

[Monet]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He's like, what are. You can't see.

[Monet]

Your eyes don't work, you dumb fucking bitch. I said, no one wore blue.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They wore purple. Let's ask the audience anyway. But it's not the same shade. And that's driving me crazy that, like, Kim's is such a different shade.

[Monet]

I mean, I think that what you've seen in Kim's bob is. She had. Hers has. It has more dynamics like she has. I think the base dress is the same color, but the appliques of the shells and stuff are deeper purple. But I think what. Like, for example, what the thing that Mia is using for that little, like, purple that's going around the dress is the same color, and the base of Vita's is the purple, But I think the lighter color you're seeing is to incorporate the Katy Perry to give them chandelier, to give the crystal.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I think that Mia Starr's look is actually quite hideous.

[Monet]

I agree. Thank you. I was like, what is going on? Even in the little. The little neck piece that was supposed to go around the whole neck, but was stretched so far is going this way on one side. I was like, are we looking at the same dress, y'?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All? I don't understand what this, like, folded up piece of fabric going down the dress is.

[Monet]

Yeah. I didn't like Mia's look. I did not like Mia's look. I did not think it was good. But apparently we're to quote you on Lonely Island. We're on Staten Island. Cause she killed it, according to the judges.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And Vita looks great, but she doesn't wear titties. She wears hips with no titties. Same with Kenya Pleaser. Kenya Pleaser. I have big titties. Yep. Yes, you have, like, titties, but also then when you get in drag, you put on hips and then your titties look small. So when. So when Kenny Peter's like, I have big titties, that's when you're out of drag. But then you put on these big hips, and then you have tiny little boobies. So, like, I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know what's going on with girls being like, I'm not gonna pat my breath. I don't know. I. I think it's very interesting. Patting your hips and not your breasts, to me, is a crazy choice.

[Monet]

No, I think you're wrong. I think Vita has a cup sewn in there. Because, look, she has. It's rounded at the top. It's just not a very big cup. I think I. I took to. To your point. I think she can go a little bigger to balance out her big ass, but she definitely has a cup in there. Cause she doesn't have a round chest normally. She has a cup in there.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, maybe. But also, the illusion is broken where you can just see her pecs, her big muscly pecs in the middle.

[Monet]

Well, that's not true. I think someone who does that very well, they pad their titties out. Yeah. Shaquita. Shaquita Hall.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But Shaquita is squeezing them up. She is pulling. Hers are not being pushed together. Shaquita is using her pectorals to create the cleavage. This is just the way her chest naturally sits. Yeah.

[Monet]

And she contours it to give the illusion, too. Also.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You remember 3D titties? I mean, 2D titties. You remember 2D titties? The girls with paint the titties on. What happened to 2D titties?

[Monet]

2D titties kind of went away. I think it was a moment in time. But we've.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Y' all don't get it. The way 2D titties was over. The New York City drag scene was crazy.

[Monet]

So someone who used to do it really well.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Chaka convict. Used to do it all the time.

[Monet]

Chaka convicted.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Picked.

[Monet]

Let's go on to Kimita.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Word, Beth. Obviously, we got to clear that up.

[Monet]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Vita. Vita wore best, 100%. The last group is Kim Kardashian, the Metcal. And Zendaya at Zendaya at the Dune premiere. This was. This was such a dope look if. If y' all want to see. Honestly, Zendaya looks better than. Look up the original Mugler model. She did her thing, but Zendaya is just. Just so fucking cool and fierce. Oh, this is so good. Anyway, so this is Darlene Mitchell and Athena love Dion. I hated both of these outfits.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I like Darlene's look. I think Darlene looks really cool. I agree. Those shoes are absolutely hideous. I think Darlene looks really great. They are not going to gaslight me into believing that Athena's outfit is nice. I won't hear it. I won't hear it. I can't be convinced. I don't fucking believe you. Athena looks crazy. Athena looks. Athena literally, literally looks like a clown.

[Monet]

Yeah, I think Athena looks, but not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like a fashion clown. Just like a clown.

[Monet]

And I mean, I think I like Darlene's. There's something. I think, okay, I don't hate Darlene's look, but I think there's something she does with the makeup sometimes that throws me off. Am I crazy? Do you get that? There's something that she does with her makeup that throws me off, and I can't figure out what it is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You've been very. You've been very vocal about that since I called her a pretty girl during the. During the promos.

[Monet]

You've been very vulnerable. I like Darlene, though. I think she's funny, especially online. She's giving on Instagram. She's funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Don't try to soften it. Don't try to soften your blood.

[Monet]

I do. I think she's funny online. She did a video on her Instagram about sipping washroom last week, which I thought was very funny. But something she does with her makeup throws me off. And I do think. But I do think she did the challenge well, though. I think she did a good job of incorporating the silver because in my opinion, this was the hardest set. This was the hardest set. This floral and metal thing is the hardest set. And she didn't just go for Athena, just went for a silver lame fabric. Darlene went with, like, the reflective mirror shit. And I think this was the hardest thing. So I think she did a good job of incorporating it, but I think the shoe takes me out. Maybe she had, like, just girl just get. And the fact that she brought five pair of these fucking ugly, chunky ass shoes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's Corey king in part two when RuPaul hates your shoes, but it's all you brought, girl.

[Monet]

Like, if she had on a pump to go with this, maybe that would have made it feel more fashion elevated because Darlene is a tall, slender person. She is the kind of person that can wear outfits and make them look good just because she's so tall. When you are tall and you're a model, quote unquote that's half the battle. But she. Those shoes are just so bad.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I thought dart. I think that Darlene is going to, like, sneak her way to the top five. Like, she's just good enough. She's just funny enough. She does not seem to ever interact with anyone in the workspace. She doesn't talk to people. She's never in a fight. She's never in a showmance. She's not. It seems like Darlene just be in her little cubbyhole working by herself, and then she comes out for the runways like she's crazy. She doesn't. What is Darlene. What is Darlene interacting with you?

[Monet]

I'm not saying she's like, she's just good enough. She's just smart enough. She's just funny enough.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. I don't think she's the funniest. I don't think she is the best at sewing, but she's good enough at all that stuff to make it to the top five, I really think.

[Monet]

So you're saying. So you're saying she's giving. She's giving. Steven Colletti. Who the hell is that traitor? Steven, See?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

See? Tell me what you're here.

[Monet]

Who. Yeah, who the hell is that? Is crazy. But yeah, I think Athena looks so bad. And then what we're gonna talk about in tuxed, when she tried to show off that little brooch on her little cape, I said, girl, she's the one. That's where the mugler is. I said, bitch, are you fucking high?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's talk about the judging. So first of all, no one was safe this week. There was no safe competitors this week. Everyone was in. Was. Was on stage for judging. And then Michelle judging Juicy's fur for being cheap is crazy.

[Monet]

Thank you. I was like, okay, number one, the judges get the show. She couldn't go to Santee Alley and pick out her own fur. That's what y' all budget gave her to make the. To do the challenge. And I don't think it looked that cheap. Like, I don't. It was not even cheap to me for the parameters of the challenge. I did not think it looked.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And La Roach was really going in on Michelle. I was like, Jesus Christ.

[Monet]

I was there.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, okay. I remember being like, this is a little much. I mean, as someone who's gone at it with Law Roach on a judging panel before when I was on Legendary, I was like, what? I remember like, what are you doing? So me and La Roach had them, and then. But then La Roach did a full 180 on Briar. LaRoche was like, no, no, no. The shoes were accurate. I was there. The shoes were accurate. I was there. Anyway, I hate the rest of your outfit.

[Monet]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love the shoes. I love that you got the shoes right. But honestly, literally everything else is trash. I hate. But then he tried to be like, but you look. But your makeup looks good. He tried to do the Monet, trying to soften it up.

[Monet]

Yeah. He said, but I've said this from day one. Bri's mug is dope. I don't think you like her makeup. I do think her makeup is dope.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't just like, where did you get this idea from?

[Monet]

From week one, when I commented on makeup and you were like. You were like, it's fine. I was like, no, I think. I said, I think I'm making. Makeup is stunning. And you're like, it's fine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I think. I think she looks perfectly fine. I don't. I don't think she's like the.

[Monet]

Like, you were. Where did you get that from? That's where I got it from.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, you were like, you don't like it. There's difference between not liking and being like, it's fine. You were like, you were gooning.

[Monet]

I sure did. I went.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. So RuPaul is about to announce who wore it best. And then all of a sudden, Scarlett takes a.

[Monet]

Briar, passes out all to Juicy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So. And then Vita's like, she lying. She lying.

[Monet]

If Briar. I mean, that would be crazy, right? Like to pass out on stage now. I've never fainted or Bob has fainted. Bob has lost consciousness a few times. I never fainted. I've never seen anyone faint or pass on in her life. So I don't know what it looks like, but I'm like, that would be.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Honestly, it looks just like that. I will tell you right now, when you faint, people faint for different reasons, but when you faint, you literally do not. What.

[Monet]

You talk about. People faint for different reasons.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Thank you, Bob. Thank you, Bob.

[Monet]

Bob the Drag with md. Thank you for letting me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know what you know. Public school.

[Monet]

Your favorite reason, New York public school.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know what you know. That one's just when you faint, you honestly don't realize you fainted. You can't feel yourself going down. You could hit your head and you will not feel it. I remember one time just being on the train, and then I was just looking at the ceiling, and everyone was standing over me. Like, I was literally just standing on the train. I don't remember getting tired. I don't remember getting woozy. I just remember being on the train and then looking up and then everyone's like standing over me. I was like, what's happening? And then I just got up and walked off the train. So I do. So if anyone's like, she wouldn't be able to lip sync. You would like, I literally just got up, walked off the train, went to a friend's house. I think I was recording a song or I don't know what I was doing, but I was meeting. You know why you fainted? I don't know why I fainted. I literally don't know why. And I fainted in the same spot twice. It's on the seventh train when it comes back up above the water. I fainted in on that same spot at the Queensborough Plaza twice.

[Monet]

Maybe. Maybe there's something in the. In the altitude. In the altitude.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, it's like 100ft. It's not even that. It's probably 60ft.

[Monet]

I'm trying to find a reason why I'm trying to diagnose you, but there's something in the change going from out the underwater. Your brain chemistry doesn't work.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And also, at the time, I may or may not have had a little bit of an eating disorder, so I was probably very hungry as well.

[Monet]

Someone Jimmy. Jimmy a6 said on whatcha pack and briar said she had pneumonia at the time that became sepsis after she went home.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is pneumonia contagious?

[Monet]

I don't think so. I don't think pneumonia is contagious. I mean, someone fact checked that. Jacob, can you. Jacob, can you do something?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Excuse you.

[Monet]

She was being treated for pneumonia and the doctor was treating basically, yes, pneumonia is contagious. Oh, the doctor. You up here just coughing and hacking on people. I don't think all pneumonia is coughing and hacking.

[Jacob]

For different types of pneumonia.

[Monet]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I hope. I hope no one else got pneumonia. Pneumonia is crazy. Pneumonia is a very, very. It can be very deadly.

[Jacob]

It is contagious, but only after about 48 hours, it stops being contagious.

[Monet]

Yeah, Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But. But ain't she been there for a couple days?

[Monet]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyways, that ain't none of my business. I hope everyone's safe. But inner defense, that is what it looks like and what it feels like. When I fainted, actually, I couldn't see myself. But I remember you wake up and you're like. And you're literally like, whoa, you're literally like, whoa, what's going on? Holy shit. Why am I down here? It's like someone just edited out a chunk of your life, baby.

[Monet]

It's like the Matrix.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, we agreed with every. All the Everyone that we said were best. RuPaul agreed with I want to talk.

[Monet]

About them critiquing Discord's Walk. When Ru literally told her an episode ago to change Nothing, I said, RuPaul's a fake ass bitch. I would have been like, bitch you in the workroom. I literally asked you the other day. You said, change nothing. And now you come in front of your little judge and friends, and now you're trying to read me, you fake fuck.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You would have never said that you're fake because you never said that I was it. I'm really shocked that the judges don't like Mikey's dress. Maybe. Maybe I'm about to become a Mikey Stan because, like, someone's got to stand up for this bitch because she looks so fucking good. They do not like Kenya's look. They like both Mia and Vita's looks, which I don't understand because I don't think Mia has a good look. And they were, like, jizzing over both Athena and fucking little trailer park look.

[Monet]

Darlene.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Darlene.

[Monet]

Yeah. I didn't get the Athena look. Being praised is crazy to me. I'm like, what's going on here? This. Anyway, that's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So we get back from untucked, and lil mama is giving a clean bill of health. And RuPaul's like, you need to know. Cause you about to. She's like, could you Bout to be lipstick. So Vita ends up winning. I agree with that, by the way.

[Monet]

Let me look at the looks again. Did she have my favorite look? Let me look. Let me. Actually, I would have given it this to Ciara Mist, I think. Because I think what Ciara did is a little more interesting to me. And I think that making that. Yeah, I would've given it to Ciara Ms. Actually. But the. You know, I would give. I would've. I would've given it to Ciara.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I can. I will say this. If Ciara missed or Vita won, I would have been like, I'm perfectly fine with this.

[Monet]

I mean, but also. But I think Nene's is the most fashion. Like, I think Nene. Nene looks like this. Nene looks like this could be a blondes thing. This looks like it could be a fucking Roboto Cavalli situation. So I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet]

But I think for the creativity of it all. I would have given it to CR Mist.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, what I know is that Jane didn't win, and she must be relieved. And then as we find out that the bottom two are Mia and not. Sorry. The bottom two are Kenya and Briar. Mia could not be happier. Mia couldn't be happier. And they started lip syncing, and Kenya wins, and then Briar has. In my opinion, this is no shade. I'm not saying this to be shady. A genuinely, really embarrassing week on RuPaul's Drag Race.

[Monet]

Briar does.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Briar had. This was a rough week.

[Monet]

No, that was last week. Well, because she passed off with the.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Fighting, with the attack from both sides, the crying on the floor, the fainting, the Mia star cutting straight to camera telling you to go home. No one cares that you're crying. That's a really rough week. That's a rough week.

[Monet]

Yeah, I guess. Also, I want to say we missed this part in theater.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then eliminated in an ugly outfit.

[Monet]

I want to say we missed this part. And I thought it was really funny because, again, this is why I'm also, like, getting a lot of love from Mia, too. I think she has a lot of heart in the season. And then when they're talking about who. They're talking about who their partners are, Mia's been real. She said, well, I'm part. I'm partner with Vita, and she's. She's. She. She's going to dog walk my ass. It's like you with Sierra and Sierra gonna dog walk YouTube, Kenya. And anyway, I forgot Mia is the.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Least followed of all the girls, which I think is kind of crazy.

[Monet]

Is she really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think she might be. I. I mean, I have to double check that. I was. I was. I'm. I was working on with this thing where I'm documenting all the Drag Race girls followings from each season. It is very exhausting, but I think she might be the least followed of all the girls, which to me, seems crazy.

[Monet]

That's crazy, right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet]

So that was the episode. Briar went home being the third queen off of season 18. And we shall see what next week has to offer. I didn't see the sneak peek.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I did. And I think that there's a small chance that we might have been wrong about Jane being nervous, because she might have a reason to be nervous. Next week is Rhea. The queen is Rhea to queen. And one of the girls looks at Jane and goes, well, you're doing so well. Maybe we should just put you in the bottom just because.

[Monet]

Oh, really? They bring a Rhea to Queen back in the middle of the season. Interesting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But listen, y', all, it is no longer a free week at Silver Rivalry. So if you want to hear what we gotta say about Untucked and all the juicy gossip revolving around pop culture and the drag world, you have to join our Patreon, where we do three episodes a week, and there's a bonus episode uploaded just for the patrons every single week.

[Monet]

All righty. Bye.
