That would be Sminty, JB, Danny, and Starlet, who can’t seem to do anything except drone, look like Barbie, and wear the best clothes I have ever seen. Then we see both groups struggling with choreography and we immediately learn who can’t dance. One thing is clear, Queens of the Bone Age are shouting and screaming and being punk rock while the Triple Cooked Chips are treating it like something else. Some you thought would be great suck, and some you thought would suck are great. Each team takes the world’s last remaining iPod Nanos, which they use to listen to their song, and heads to record their vocals. Oh, wait, Maroon 5 does, but after seeing the way Adam Levine DMs, of course, they would have a name as stupid as Triple Threat. It’s like if Fifth Dimension or Fifth Harmony or Maroon 5 had six members. Meanwhile, across the workroom, the other team has called themselves Triple Threat. I also love this team because the song they’re doing is a rock song, and they name themselves Queens of the Bone Age, which is camp and drag and rock and everything that John Waters was doing in the ‘60s that we’re still catching up to. Even better, Dakota bans anyone from using “snatch the crown.” Just like Real Housewives can’t resist a ‘20s party, no drag queen can resist the lure of “snatch the crown.” It is like a siren, calling to them, only to dash them on the rocks sending wigs, nails, and breastplates everywhere. I am immediately Team Dakota for a few reasons, the first of which is I already know they’re going to snatch the crown. I mean, what is this? Drag Race or an audience with the Queen? Oh, sorry, I mean King. Danny Beard keeps getting scolded for saying it. But enough about actual mother tuckers, which is apparently something you can’t say on the BBC while over on Channel 4 they’re showing limp dicks on a dating show. It’s just like Oedipus being blinded by his hubris only to be blinded by his mother’s brooches. Peppa’s team, with Baby, who has a degree in songwriting, is going to be overconfident and that will be their downfall.

When they ask why, she says that Peppa’s group is going to be like “slay the house down boots gagged gooped Laganja Estranga tonguepop.”Īcross the workroom, Peppa and crew are like, “Thank god she didn’t come over here.” That is when anyone fluent in the reality television arts and sciences clocked the story we would be told this week. Because she’s last, she gets to pick her own team and chooses Dakota’s. Everyone is treating Copper Top like a red-headed stepchild (sorry, I had to) because she was at the bottom last week. Dakota picks Danny Beard, Le Fil, Cheddar Gorgeous, and Pixie Polite. Mighty Ru-pla was right there.īlack Peppa picks Baby, Sminty Drop, Jonbers Blonde (which both Ru and I are both shortening to JB cause life is too short for the spell check on my Google Docs), and Starlet. London has its own queer pop music festival called Mighty Hoopla. Hon?’” Black Peppa and Dakota Schiffer, as the winner of the last challenge and the lip sync, respectively, are named team captains, and both have to form a girl group and compete against each other with the same song, Ru’s new single “Come Alive.” The idea is that they’re on stage at the YAAAAAStonbury Festival. This was the inevitable girl group challenge, or as I like to call it, “Trying to Recapture the Magic of ‘U.K. But if you can’t perform, then you can’t even sell the most amazing outfits on the stage, which, no doubt, Starlet had this episode. You can sell the shit out of an awful outfit (well, maybe not if you’re LaLa Ri) and sewing is one of the lesser skills in any queen’s arsenal.

This is even worse than a queen showing up not knowing how to sew. As so, after hearing a contestant say in the first episode that she has never performed before, we watch as she is summarily dismissed in the second episode as soon as she was, you guessed it, asked to perform. So much of the early episodes of any season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is about waiting for the inevitable to happen. Photo: Guy Levy/World of Wonder Productions
