RuPaul's Drag Race: Shady Politics

So this week, we're really feeling the heat as we are left with 6 Queens and the scrutiny is HIGH.

This week's mini challenge is to guess whether a model likes to Top, or Bottom (bunk) by basing it on a random fact about them.

Menswear Designer Andrew Christian was there with his models in their underwear.



Derrick finally won a challenge! Ru claimed you could see more pics of the models online but I can't find them. Links gratefully appreciated for... reasons!

The main challenge this week was to riff on the current American political situation, by producing their own Presedential Campaign videos, to boost themselves and smear their opponent.

They were paired up like this:

Bob and Derrick

Chi Chi and Thorgy

Kim Chi and Naomi

Lets be honest, they were the best pairings they could've made, given the previous drama and last week's question! Naomi and Kim Chi could be in trouble because they don't have any drama, or they could work well because they aren't scared to work with each other, like Chi Chi was of Thorgy.

The adverts were directed by Michelle Visage and Carson Kressley, who tried to give directions as best they could, but there are always queens who don't listen and this time, Kim Chi found it tough to do what they suggested and Thorgy straight up ignored it!

Damn girl, what a mistake to make!

In the work room, Derrick Barry asked Kim Chi whether she came from North or South Korea... I literally have no idea how someone in 2016 has no concept of North Korea's regime? Wow Derrick.

This week's runway is Black and White Realness, based around what Detox wore during the Season 5 final as a rebellion against the Red Theme.



Runway piiiics!!

Ru didn't go with the theme, rocking purple again!

Bob the Drag Queen - scaring the shite outta Michelle in Clown Realness

Derrick Barry serving Goth and an outfit change!

Naomi Smalls wore one of Raven's outfits! BAM.

Kim Chi dresses as a french clown

Thorgy wore a top with shoes on it and smoked -not so sure on the concept this week?

Chi Chi DiVayne went with Old Hollywood Glamour!

And then onto their Campaign Videos:

]
Bob, went full sexual innuendo and baby eating!

Derrick Barry went for Republican Charm

Naomi advocated plastic surgery

Kim Chi attacked the racists on Grindr

Thorgy... did really poorly and gave me a sad

Chi Chi was once again, unpolished as hell.

Unsurprisingly, Bob and Derrick won, with Chi Chi and Thorgy ending in the bottom 2.

Thorgy I felt had given up since the beginning of this episode (however I appreciate, editing is everything) and clowned around during a hugely emotional song. Chi Chi brought the drama and rightfully won to stay.

I may be reading way too much into this, as Thorgy had been my favourite since day 1, but the little wave she did before her cartwheel, and when she grabbed Chi Chi's arm as you do a winner, it looked like she knew.

So this week's nails would've had little shoes in black and white, however I don't have a shoe stamp! Gotta find me onna those!

 Thorgy's shirt and bow tie, followed by some faded grey. 

And then the day that Prince Died, I clicked my fingers too hard on my steering wheel, and much like my heart broke the day that Thorgy left, my nails broke too. So I've got stupid short nails again, damnit.

Who shall I support now? Damnit :(
