I just shed so many tears for Anne Frank. Out of laughing so hard. That was brilliant. And the Dora was pretty hilarious too.
I wish they wouldn't allow them be other Queens. It just wasn't funny. I was hoping there would have been a stand-out, but besides Adele, I didn't laugh much. The Little Richard was a one trick pony. And that Raven? Oof. C'mon. There are so many other things to do.
I kind of hope it's Trixie - after that clip - or Tempest because I'm curious what else she can do. But I kind of feel like it will be Max since besides this challenge she's been pretty great.

Can't imagine Max getting near to the final 3, so why bring her back now?
On the other hand, all those other queens who sashayed away earlier haven't even had to go through the crucible of a SNATCH GAME-- seems unfair to let that returning queen skip right over the do-or-die challenge and move back in line. (Same problem the old Project Runway always had when they brought back eliminated contestants).
Love the episode, but I would have much preferred MKD of stayed. HOWEVER, it's in her best interest that she didn't considering she accidentally put her cell phone number on Twitter the other day and while that isolated incident had no hooligans calling her I think following beating out both Trixie and Max she would have.
At last, an excellent episode! And now I have someone to root for — Trixie. A real underdog considering she had already sashayed away. Loved her banned Snatch Game video and on last night's show she brought it! If she keeps it up she should make Top 3. Pearl is coming around too. Nice to see some redemption.
Before this episode, I had been leaning towards Katya, and admired Ginger in the Snatch Game, but won't be rooting for either of them. Both were over the top in histrionics after the other queens were brought in.
As they say, ugly is to the bone, and that's the sad side they both revealed. Katya made a bunch of rude comments and Ginger's pity party screamed "Give me more air time," a desperate, ploy. Ladies, you're playing a GAME. Go with it, have fun with it, rise to the challenge rather than whine about it. This crap makes you unlikable.

Oh that is such bull****. What did Katya say? I can tell you "Tempest?" & "All the girls are back. All 14 of us." In what way is that over the rop, ugly, or rude to say? Especially when I'm sure everyone was asked in the confessional "What was your reaction to their return?" Or did you miss the entire beginning of the episode where none of them wanted a Queen to come back?
And for saying "It's a game! Have fun!" it's really not just a game for them. Drag Race is what propels them into the mainstream and during filming they have no idea how they're going to be made out on the show. When they're not being filmed they're not allowed to talk and anytime they're not in the Werk Room or doing a challenge they're locked up in Hotel Rooms. It's an incredibly high stress situation so I can imagine when being faced with Queens who skipped out on challenges and got to go home causes tensions to be just a little bit high.
Yeah...I call bullsh*t on that as well. Katya wasn't in any way ugly in this (or any) episode. Katya is also the only kween who has made me howl out loud when I watch this show. I'm actually coming to the realization that I kinda want to date Katya.
I do think that Pearl and Trixie should have won this challenge. Pearl put together a good concept and then let Trixie earn her way back in with a very funny characterization. Katya brought all the funny in her pairing with MKD.
I think that Katya is far and away the queen who deserves the crown this season, based on everything we've seen. But like I said before - I just think there's no way they'll give to another comedy Queen. But they should.
And I want to write a "roadtrip" movie for Alaska & Katya to star in.
So some more details about the episode that weren't shown. Apparently Nelsan Ellis was a complete ass and rude to the queens. Ginger had the nerve to call him NelsOn instead of NelsAn and he went off on her. So she snapped back "I don't care if you're name is Nissan!" to which Michelle & Ru both gave a standing ovation for.
They also had to make a case for their queens to stay that didn't really get aired. This was Katya & Kasha's
Yes! We had a whole back story that we explained to the judges in character on the main stage. I was Trish and she was Gloria, I was from South Boston and she was from Atlantic City. (Which i thought was so funny because you know, we’re twins.) On the runway, we had to make the case for why our eliminated queen deserved to stay in the competition. Pretty much all the girls gave earnest answers, so Kasha and I decided to not answer it seriously. I said “she’s older than dirt, she’s uglier than a bag of bricks, but I know true talent when I smell it, and she smells like she just pissed herself.” I also screamed out at Leann Rimes “ya got the voice of an angel Luanne!” That was fun. Also, Nelsan Ellis was a terrible judge.
Another great episode. I know they wouldn't have another tie after Snatch Game, but I hoped they would as Ginger and Katya were equally brilliant. Personally, I would have given it to Katya, since her runway look (and that wig!) was truly awful.
I'm surprised how long it's taken them to do a John Waters episode, but I'm very happy it finally happened. However, though he's ridiculously adorable, the music here was not Lucian Piane's best work. Still, iffy writing aside, it was a great way to recognize someone who was a huge influence for a lot of the drag community.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
An enjoyable episode, but Piane should be shot for those awful musical scenes. The music and lyrics were from hunger; a five-year-old could write better. John Waters was a class act, focusing on the performances rather than the shabby material.
I'm just so glad they re-edited the remaining episodes. The change in these past few episodes has been so amazing. Maybe for the DVD release, they'll re-edit the first 7 episodes as well.
