Tonight on RuPaul’s Drag Race we learn who makes it to the top 3. And so we are down to this – the music video for Sissy That Walk. But first Darienne has to clean. That. Mirror. BenDeLaCreme writes a book on the mirror. Observe:
After cleaning, we get Courtney throwing some shade at Bianca Del Rio and Adore Delano.
“Not today, Satan. Not today.” Thank you Bianca Del Rio.
And we’re down to the last episode before the finale, which is traditionally the music video challenge. Michelle Visage, not RuPaul, tells the girls about the events they will need to prepare.
During the choreography lesson Adore and Courtney do well while Bianca and Darienne struggle. Darienne struggles the most of all. Could be that she doesn’t like choreography. Could also be that she’s distracted by a cute choreographer.
This week’s episode gives us a glimpse of why each of these 4 queens is in the top 4. Mamma Ru gives some one-on-one time with each queen trying to get the best out of each of them. We get to see sensitivity from each queen – some more than others. Courtney hears what Ru is telling her about showing humanity. She just doesn’t understand what that means, so she’s not going to worry about it. Bianca’s face gives her unbiased opinion about that:
We learn that Darienne was kicked out of her house at a young age. Certainly explains much of her defensiveness. Bianca claims that she came into the competition with no intention of mentoring anyone. Not sure if I believe that, but I never believed the whole “Bianca is mean” storyline. She’s always seemed very generous & sweet to me. Adore talked about her rejection from her father for being feminine.
After confessional/lunch with Ru/let’s sit around & try on wigs we finally get to filming the video for Sissy That Walk. Adore is watching the other girls try on different outfits. Outfits that she doesn’t have the money to buy. But she knows that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to be fabulous.
First up in filming is the sissyography; then an acting challenge as a young ingenue being photographed by a crazy Ru. Crazy photographer Ru is kind of awesome. He makes the girls pose and dance and bark like a dog. Like a hot dog. Until they just can’t take it anymore & start screaming. And acting coach Mathu Andersen is always awesome. He’s just toned down from his Instagram page.
And finally a second acting challenge with former-love Ru, also known as Charles.
As the the girls get ready for that final runway, they share their first impressions of each other. Surprise! They all like each other & they all were guarded about each other when they first met. Courtney also continues to share all of her ideas of what America’s Next Drag Superstar should be. I’m kind of over her.
On to the main stage!
Finally, each of the dragtestants has to give their final statement as to why they should be America’s Next Drag Superstar. Nothing too surprising there. This year also brings the twist of having all 4 queens lip synch for their lives at the same time. It makes it a little hard to follow because we’re cutting from drag queen to drag queen. Courtney and Bianca have never been in this position before so it would be nice to see a little more from then.
In the end, your top 3 are: Adore Delano, Courtney Act and Bianca Del Rio. Darienne Lake has been eliminated. I was kind of thinking that Courtney might be going as she got a lot of screen time. Ok, I was kind of hopeful Courtney would go because I thought Darienne did better in the challenges. Girl got Ru to come back into the scene when he was done. And I’m kind of over Courtney. She seems lovely & beautiful but the Pollyanna vibe is getting old.
So next week we get a clip show & the premiere of the video for Sissy That Walk. Then the finale heads our way on May 19. Be sure to let Ru know whose team you’re on through Twitter or Facebook. #DragRace all the way around. I assume you should also hashtag your team preference, but Ru didn’t specify that.
Are you Team Adore, Team Bianca or Team Courtney? Tell us here below before you tell Ru!
