Chad Michaels: Really was there any doubt she'd own this challenge? The fact that she was able to give three different Cher looks during the game only serves as testimony to her abilities as a drag queen. I agreed with Ross; it was a risky choice for Chad to do Cher, as failing would have not only cost her the competition, but humiliation as being "The world's #1 Cher impersonator"! I also loved that she worked a runway look that really shouldn't work, but somehow did!Congrats to Chad, she earned this one!
Sharon Needles: I think the thing I admire most about Ms. Needles is that she's always willing to push the limits. By all means, her Michelle impersonation could have easily been a blood-bath with the real judge, but Michelle was really game and seemed to enjoy it! I also loved Sharon's surgical runway attire! So far she's won two of the five challenges, and placed high another two...She's on a roll!
Willam: I'm starting to see the "threat" she is to everyone. She truly did do an impressive job as the ever ditsy Jessica! I liked her runway look as well. The judges were spot on with clocking her for always being "in character". I think Willam does try to connect with the girls (a lot of the time she tries to give constructive criticism such as "I couldn't understand you at the end" which gets shut down by the Milans and Phi Phis of the group.) Having said that, I really do feel she was using crocodile tears in response for needing to show more vulnerability. Any chance she had at moving anyone was squelched with her "I'm sad that someone has to go so I can win!" Should've quit while you were ahead!
Latrice Royale: I respect, and wholeheartedly agree with Latrice over how immature the three girls in the front were acting, I'd probably have a hard time keeping face too! That said, she needed to remember that the challenge wasn't over, and that her Aretha got decidedly less and less fabulous with each round as she got more and more ticked off. Her runway look was ok. I have no issues with her looks anymore. You have to understand; Latrice is an "Old School Queen", meaning her make-up and outfits are rarely pretty, but she walks out there with the confidence of Queen Elizabeth! Still, she was only ok this week, and she could have been spectacular had she not let the front row tick her off so bad.
Dida Ritz: I want to root for this one SOOOO bad. She's got an infectious personality, and she can be fierce when backed into a corner, but her looks are just SOOOO raggedy and until she can learn to polish herself up she'll never be a true threat to anyone in the competition. She was ok in the Snatch Game, but her runway was repulsively busted, and she really just lucked out that the three queens on either side of her made complete jackasses out of themselves.
Jiggly Caliente: I'm not sure who I want to see gone first, this one or Milan! She made a complete fool of herself in the challenge, and her runway, while cute, was just another of the bland prom dresses she tends to pull out. I'll give her points for admitting and apologizing for her antics, but I'm just over the fact she shows no discernible acting skills, and with the exception of the occasional b!tchy moment, she fades to the background. Next!
Phi Phi O'Hara:...I have been waiting so long for her mouth to come back and bite her,and it seems that what she's sent around is beginning to come back around! She was hard to watch in the snatch game, somehow thinking that roaring and sticking her leg on the table would somehow translate as personality, and her runway look was just atrocious. I couldn't help rolling my eyes when she said this was basically her at her fiercest! What really irritates was that when Latrice was putting the girls to task, she honestly felt she had done nothing wrong,and that everyone was just being b!tchy to her. The fact that she sees no wrong in what she does only confirms that she's as limited as Madame and Princess, just with a more sour attitude. LOVED Rupaul for giving her that little smack-down on the runway!
Milan: Ugh, just ugh! She definitely deserved to stay over Kenya,but that really says more about how awful Kenya was than it does how good she did. Her Diana Ross was whacked out and her runway, while polished, really was too masculine to ever impress the judges. She better start serving it FAST because she can't keep lucking out on lip syncing against a slightly paler performance forever!
Kenya Michaels: I'll start by giving her credit, because the untucked just help validate that the language barrier was keeping the poor thing over her head. I'll admit my heart bled a little when she said how hard it was not understanding what anyone is saying and knowing they can't understand you. Ultimately, the constant miscommunication no doubt partly played a role in her demise this week. That said, it doesn't matter what language you speak; that Beyonce was bat-sh!t insane, and not in a cute, fun, campy, drag way!!! She's a sweet little bugger, but she really didn't seem to know how to do anything being asked of her.
And in that respect Alisa Summers is my favourite! Although Willam (William?) and Dida Ritz are just behind her. All gorgeous girls!
