RuPaul's Drag Race Season 5 — Page 7

See? The one week I skip Untucked because the interwebs ain't playin' fair...

Roxxy was calculating enough to pre-plan the double wig, knowing she would be in the bottom two. I have no doubt she'd be calculating enough to use a crying fit to manipulate Ru. I believe the story came out naturally and innocently in the lounge. Then when the moment of truth came, just before the elimination verdict, it occurred to her she could use that fresh emotion to pull out a breakdown moment.

I mean seriously, of all the moments in the show...weeks and weeks of 10 hour days of filming with nothing but bitchy attitude and suddenly she has her big "Mama left me at the bus stop" moment at the exact time where it would do her the most good? RoXy's sellin' it but Scallion's not buyin' it.

If this girl don't win, the whole competition is a sham. Of course I already know it's a sham...but still.

Not a chance. The wig underneath was as flat as a board and super attached to her head. She knew she was going to be flipping her hair back and forth and planned accordingly.

So, anyone get the impression that Jinkx may have been stacking the deck a bit from the beginning? Seeing her performances online and her makeup elsewhere, it feels a bit like she may have staged herself as the underdog. I have a feeling she knew she wouldn't be an instant favorite, so she started a few steps back so she would show room for improvement. Jinkxy seemed so far behind many of the others when it came to the look. Then, with the vast improvement in both outfit and makeup this week, methinks it may have been a brilliant plan all along. She has moved into my favorite spot where I was firmly Team Detox before.

I saw that! Stunning! Manila Luzon said, "Hmmm, maybe she's been using that lifetime supply of whatever cosmetic company is sponsoring this years show..." or something similar.

"... I think RoXy helped save Alyssa."

I think Alyssa was going to be told "Shante you stay" and RoXy to "Sashe away" but Ru didn't have the heart to do it after RoXy's meltdown and that whole discussion that they were now her family and that they love her. It would have seemed heartless to send RoXy home after that. Not only that...there had already been a double elimination so there was room in the season schedule for them to have a non-elimination episode. It just took the right two pair of queens to make it happen.

I haven't finished the episode, but while some of the queens seem to improve every week, Ivy just gets worse. I don't get it.


Ooooooh, Joan Van Ark needs to kuh-wit! "No T, no shade, hunty?"

Alaska and Jinkx definitely had the best ones.

After Coco's behavior during Untucked this week I have decided that I am officially over her. She is a victim from the word go. She was so unnecessarily nasty to Jinkx.

I don't understand how RoXy has lasted as long as she has. And when she's in drag, what race is she supposed to be?

RoXy's was one antenna short of being the fifth teletubby with that last runway getup. Or as someone else said, "one fanny pack away from playing Fran Drescher's mother in The Nanny."

Wow. I bow to Jinkx Monsoon. I am not worthy.
