![]() Luckily, this season is rapidly coming to a close in fact, the finale films this coming Monday! So if you’re spoiler-averse, beware social media - it’s entirely possible diehard fans will know who the top two are very, very soon. When someone who looked like a dead drag queen walking just last week turns out the best performance of the night, you know something’s off. The back half of Season 11 has been much stronger than its front half, but you can feel these queens getting tired. Alas, Ru has his favourites, and Silky is one of them. I’d much rather have more time with her in this competition than Silky. It’s an anticlimactic ending for a contestant who has been such a joy to watch all season. Neither queen makes off well, but ultimately Ru decides to save Silky and send Nina packing. Sadly, the lip sync, to TLC’s “No Scrubs,” is low-energy and too static. I’m glad to see the show is willing to make Silky lip sync, at least. ![]() I don’t know, I’ve given up trying to figure out the decisions this season. So, naturally, it’s Silky and Nina in the lip sync. But Silky makes everything worse, using permanent marker for her eyebrows (which looks awful on Soju’s skin) and putting her in a sad Cher-lite wig.Īfter the queens are all asked for their thoughts on who should go home (and I do mean all in a baffling decision, Ru even asks the eliminated queens), seven say Silky and five say Yvie. abominable? Is that too harsh? I don’t think that’s too harsh! Soju’s kind of a mess on her own, as evidenced by her complaints in the workroom. Her makeover of Soju - admittedly a difficult partner thanks to her inability to walk in heels and lack of natural family resemblance - is tragic. The idea of dressing up as the Gay Pride flag and Trans Pride flag isn’t a terrible one, but unfortunately for Nina, the outfits themselves are terrible. Her presentation with Plastique Tiara, while fun, is not that interesting, and a distant third to both Vanjie and A’keria.Įlsewhere this week, Yvie and Scarlet get tripped up when Yvie makes the fatal mistake of giving her partner the worse outfit (really should’ve known better on this one), while Nina West’s political makeover of Shuga Cain earns her nothing but brownie points. And if you’re looking to me for a good explanation as to why, trust that you will not find it. Only Vanjie does not win - Brooke Lynn Hytes does. It’s easily her best performance of the season and should have garnered her an easy win. ![]() Vanjie’s is the most successful here she totally transforms Ariel into a Haus of Mateo member. The clear standouts are Vanjie and A’keria, who both make their partners look stunning - seriously, A’keria should always do Honey Davenport’s makeup - and like real twins. ![]() Let’s instead shift focus to the challenge itself: the makeovers. So let’s spend no more time on the drama. (I’m saying this without seeing Untucked, though, so perhaps the drama manifests there.) Ultimately, this is a crew that’s best when the drama is organic and reactive to what’s currently happening. ![]() It’s a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, and even RuPaul’s regular round of “Who should go home tonight?” on the runway after critiques can’t produce much worthwhile. Honestly, I’m not interested in the drama. ![]()
