Its not about how well you’re free to dance.
Its about how much youwantto dance.
Who really cares if youre the best dancer?
Ya gotta be technical.
Was this opener supposed to focus on Yvie?
Because one spooky dooky in, and I only have eyes for Silky.
A stars a star!
The two contestants with the best workout-inspired dance movies will win.
I dont think weve ever seen a contestant with this much abandon.
Plastique and AKeria are tasked with picking teams for the maxi-challenge, called The International Draglympics.
AKerias team, representing the nation of Tuckpantistan, includes Brooke Lynn, Silky, Yvie, and Shuga.
Plastique will compete alongside RaJah, Vanjie, Nina, and Scarlet for the faraway land of Glamazonia.
Vanjie exclaims that they are, in a word, fucked.
During the dance rehearsal with choreographer Travis Wall and Olympian Adam Rippon, Im scared.
Silky and her abandon, in particular, really make me wince.
At least she is committing, as is Yvie, to the best of her ability.
Team Glamazonia is a mixed bag.
Scarlet is just not a dancer.
It feels bad to watch her because some people … just cant dance!
She knows it, her team knows it, America now knows it.
As a result of inconsistency across the board, Glamazonia is in crisis.
As the audience, we are clearly gagged by Vanjie, but she cant see and impress herself.
Everyone in the competition wants to do well, but no one feels the clock ticking like Yvie.
Its very humanizing, and youd have to be pretty cold not to root for her after this.
Team Tuckpantistan, in particular, does really well.
Highlights include Yvie and Brooke Lynns flexibility, AKerias overall attitude throughout the performance, and Silkys baton-twirling abilities.
Silky is so much better than she needs to be.
She twirls baton?!
Come on, bitch.
There was entertainment value, mama!
Our theme this week is All That Glitters and its fun to watch.
Its nice to see the season get narrowed down to the girls who can really bring it.
Its a gold gown.
It was high time for AKeria to win a challenge, and that runway was really superlative.
The rest of the team is dismissed and Team Glamzonia stands for critique.
Scarlet knows whats coming throughout her critique.
By the lip syncs end, I have to say I am fully Team Scarlet.
Who truly cares if she is not the best dancer?
Is that what drag is about?
She removes the bottom of her gown to reveal pants, and absolutely goes for it.
She has a glitter reveal.
She has absolutely no rhythm.
I love it all.
RaJahs performance is good, but theres really not much soul or fun to it.
I feel similarly about her lip sync as I did to Shugas last week.
Is it technically good?
Am I gagging in the nightclub when I see it?
I dont think I am.
Scarlet wins this for me, but does not win it with Ru and is sent home.
Thank you, Stephanie.
You had great energy.
… Said The Bitch!
A Weekly Quote Roundup
Silky (On Yvie): Miss Yvie bumps her gum all day.
But the bitch only gives you spooky tee.
Theres not much more than spook.
And I cannot wait til they make that spooky dooky go home.
…Said the bitch!
