In a way, it's impressive to see how the editorial team of RuPaul Drag Race Season 11 has done a lot of eliminations of potential cannon fodder this season. Honey Davenport was initially a martyr who carried the mistakes of her entire group after the legendary six-way synchro sync. Then there was Ariel Versace, a naughty outsider turned friendly who went home with remarkably harsh critics and an embarrbading montage of a lip sync error.
At present, the victim of the badlash edition is Scarlet Envy. I've been hard on Scarlet all season; I've already found his trail unpolished and his attitude unpleasant. But I had the feeling that she had been robbed first place last week, which, in retrospect, should have been a warning sign. Despite winning in the second week, the judges were never really interested in Scarlet, just as I did not do it.
But this? It's really crap. Scarlet Envy returns home this week with a montage intended to make her incompetent, a round of her fellow queens throwing her under the bus and a result of lip sync that seems downright unfair.
The main challenge this week is one of the scariest in the world. Drag Racing history: the cheerleading challenge that put Eureka O'Hara's knee on the case in season 9. It's a little less disturbing, if only for its lack of aerial stunts. The queens are responsible for performing dance routines in the Draglympics. They are criticized for their performance as a group in three categories: voguing, fan work and "shablams". This is how the series decided to refer to lower-level death declines, which, sure.
Yvie Oddly embarks on the challenge with two big anchors. One of them is shared with his fellow queens because Yvie has earned a reputation as a beginner in the drama. As a big fan of Yvie, I have mostly defended her as a truth teller in the past. The problem, though, is that if Yvie is often correctshe is also pretty noisy about that. (Was there.)
Take the opening segment of this week's episode. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo is disappointed to have been safe during the ball, and Yvie notes that Vanjie has made several looks in the same silhouette that the judges have criticized in the past. Vanjie later revealed in the episode that she was not very sure of her position in the competition, which led her to fight against Yvie for the moment. A'keria Chanel Davenport tries to cover Vanjie by pointing out that these outfits are what Vanjie brought from home and that she can not repair them. In confessional, Yvie – again, correctly – pointed out that there is a fabric wall and a lot of scissors and that she can adapt.
What aggravates the situation is that the attempts of the other queens to re-read Yvie are weak. They punished him for not being glamorous, only scary, but the judges just told him last week not to try to look for glamor and stay in his hallway. "You'll never be glamorous" is a Shangela series from season 3 about. It's season 11. Judges like when queens have a specific brand. It's a new world and from this culture, I would say that only Yvie and Brooke Lynn Hytes really live there.
I would like to see Yvie challenge or remove an ankle, but I do not think it will be his other queens who will do it. Yvie is a strong competitor and until she is upset by the competition, she will continue to sit on her big horse.
Unfortunately, Yvie's second presenter is a lot heavier. The health status of Yvie mentioned for the first time in the Trump: The Rusical The episode is far more threatening than it had originally been. It is likely that Yvie's condition will deteriorate rapidly over the next few years and eventually erase it completely. That's why Drag Racing It is so dear to her heart and why she makes the pain go when she is irresponsible. The result is that Yvie achieves one of the best performances of this episode, but rolls her ankle at the same time. She seems to think she'll be fine, but given what has happened to Eureka before, it's worrying.
Fortunately for her, Yvie has to spend short time on the podium this week, as her team takes up the challenge. A'keria as a team leader wins – and even if I do not like "team captain", she really wins hers. Not only has the cast been in focus, but A'keria is striving to keep his group on the job and is killing his individual performance in the challenge. It's a deserved win, even against Brooke Lynn, who is once again defying a challenge because of her strength in dance. Silky Nutmeg Ganache and Shuga Cain complete this team and generally perform well.
The funniest moment of Silky, this episode occurs when choreographer Travis Wall and his coach Adam Rippon are excited to say that the whole A'keria team has some rhythm. Through bursts of laughter, Silky warns them to get ready for the next team – and hoo boyWas she right?
Team Plastic Tiara is as rhythmic as Team A'keria is punctuated by rhythm. Vanjie is the best, but she is hardly read for her basic show. This is a difficult episode for Vanjie, who clearly has in mind not to perform well this season. Listening to her voice so confused and serious in her confessional when she's moved – you can tell she's really upset. The foghorn is gone, replaced by a girl who seems really lost in the competition. It's a shame because it has easily been one of the most fun parts of the season. She deserves at least one victory now, if not more.
Plastic is decent, both as a team leader and as an interpreter, but the other types of damage are different. Nina West did well in performance despite her limited dancing skills, but she came out on the golden-themed podium in a surprisingly cheap Viking drag. Michelle Visage explains very well how to better dose her body, but frankly, the look was too homemade, regardless of its shape. She ranks among the last three for this – hard, but understandable given the fact that the challenge of the team is to judge.
Ra'Jah Davenport O'Hara has as many excuses as she talks about famous family names, do not do it! She does better with the choreography than during the Rusical, but it makes it an opportunity to make a monologue before the judges on how her interaction with the choreographer Yanis Marshall was so harsh for her. To which I say: good God, my daughter, seize yourself. Ra'Jah can not go out of his own mind long enough to concentrate on the task at hand. This one-sided quarrel with Yanis gives him a mean and difficult air. I would not be shocked if that's what makes her fall in the last two of the week.
Ra'Jah, however, is not the biggest victim of this week. This honor goes to Scarlet, who mbadacred all the episodes. Other queens make jokes and nausea this week about Scarlet can not dance – which would be meaner if she could really dance – and choreographer Travis Wall seems confused by her. He even jokingly said that she could surprise and win the challenge, that's how unpredictable it is. Oops.
Only until the track of appearance that Scarlet really imposes for a beating. Travis says she's been the hardest person to work with all of her career, which seems like a big statement that is not corroborated by the images. When asked who should go home, all of his teammates named him. You can tell, how quiet she is on the track, that she was devastated. She admits that her confidence is totally shaken this week. Despite this, she continues to live one of the funniest moments of the episode. She says that Ra'Jah should be down because she has already been "a lot". This is how she says the last part that really sends me.
Unfortunately for Scarlet, RuPaul prefers what Ra'Jah makes more and more synchronized with Donna Summer's "Last Dance", and saves her a third time. I do not really understand why; I thought Scarlet had done a good job compensating for her lack of skill in dancing with all sorts of fun tricks, and that she was still moving pretty well. If someone must survive three times in the low, I think his third lip sync must be irrefutable. "Something he can feel" from Jujubee. "A cold heart" of Coco Montrese. It's not at this level. Alas, Ra'Jah stays and Scarlet disappears from the competition.
"It's small, but one of my favorite moments in this episode is that Yvie teaches her team how to" shablam ". It's going step by step, and it's cool to see something that we've seen so many times break down so simply. I like these kinds of technical pieces on Drag Racing.
? The songs of DJ Shyboy used during the routines are extraordinary! I particularly like the song "Shade" that the A'keria team interprets. It's so much fun to hear Drag Racing The story tells a challenge that does not even include the old ones. At the time of the Golden Age (seasons 4 to 6), the series did more, so it is a successful return.
? I am not quite sure why this main challenge is judged as a team. Shuga deserves the last three places on Nina; it sounds like an arbitrary moment for not judging individuals.
? The mini-challenge features Love Connie, a drag queen (the rare drag-queen non Ru / RuGirl as a guest!) With a specialty in the workout pieces, and it's really fun. I love when mini-challenges are so simple and ridiculous. the top designers have recently felt a little too long to pay.
? "I want what she's wearing." A'keria has Love Connie's number.
? Adam Rippon and Travis Wall are both prominent guest judges. The latter is perhaps a little more technical in his criticisms (although he has already done this before, so it makes sense). Mirai Nagasu, I'm sorry to say, is not up to it. I do not need the jury to agree, but Mirai's criticisms go beyond mere differences of opinion. Vanjie's appearance is bad no matter what you know about his past appearance, for example. Mirai is proof that just being a fan of the show does not automatically make you a good guest judge, although it may help.
Speaking of the guest judges: Do we think that Travis and Adam went out together after the rehearsals? Because . . . I certainly hope that they have done it.
? So no Carson Kressley this episode, but also no Ross Mathews? Was Carson okay during the shoot? I am officially worried afterwards.
Nous "There are still too many here!" Truer words have never been spoken, Brooke Lynn.
? We really need Snatch Game, all. I know we rank among the top nine, but there is still a lot of straw in this wheat. Either the queens who can not hang reveal themselves in Snatch Game, or they win the plate in Season 7. Anyway: this is the moment.
