Rupaul's Drag Race Season 14: Episode 15... (Positive Points Number 39)
This season is the season of twists and turns. It's kinda like Bob TDQ said on The Pit Stop this week "Yvie Oddly (I'm Yvie Oddly and oddly enough 💚 💚 💚) doesn't even twist this much!"
Nobody went home this week which kinda makes me wonder what kinda shenanigans they have in store for the finale.
But… Yes, there's a but… I'm glad nobody went home cuz the bottom 2 were Angie and Willow and my brain was not about to Jody Foster that behavior. Before we get too far in, can I just take a moment to applaud whoever decided to have them do "Telephone" by Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce… IN GOWNS! It's so sadistic 🤣🤣🤣
Neither queen had a reveal/tear away gown on so Willow was gathering hers and Angie was working it out… I saw a few reviewers complaining about it, but I thought it was hilariously cruel
Anywho…
I was so scared! Angie was tearing up the beginning so I was like: "Oh no, Willow's going home" then Willow started cutting up in the middle and I was like: "Oh no, Angie is going home." In the end, instead of competing, they both started dancing with one another like they were having a good time with friends and not on a reality TV show. Was it the best lipsync of the season? Nope, but that wasn't even close to the point. Even Angie pointed out that it was more like they were in the club somewhere.
For me, this lipsync carried a different weight to it. Kinda like in Alstars 1 where Raven and Jujubee had to go up against one another. They cried and the fandom cried with them. In this situation, they smiled and celebrated their friendship and we were basically invited to smile and celebrate with them.
So what on Earth did Willow and Angie do to land in the bottom in the 1st place?
For the answer to that, we're gonna hafta back up a little. See, this week is the girl group challenge. "Catwalk" (I love this song. I need to download it) Unlike other seasons, the queens also had a hand in the design aspect of their outfits. I'm hoping the rumors are true and Bosco ended up with the wrong outfit cuz she really did look like a retired Power Ranger desperately trying to relive the glory days. But wait, hold on, hold up… If Bosco ended up with the wrong outfit, did another queen somehow draw the same concept cuz Bosco had a drawing of what we ended up with. That would make no sense unless two people are really out here creating the same concepts and shit. The vast majority of ideas we see now are just reimagined ideas that already exist so it is plausible. *shrugs* Just saying.
^QUEEN (I have never seen a more regal looking chandelier)
Catwalk: We don't deserve Lady Camden. When she laid down on the floor and starting doing these sensual moves with her hands, I almost threw my phone at the TV! (Imma be honest tho', I won't be weighing in on their verses cuz I haven't listened to the song enough to give a concrete opinion)
^Queen (At 1st, I was gonna Knight this, but nah... Just because I prefer bustle to be in the back doesn't take away from the ensemble... It most certainly doesn't so yeah, it's a queen)
Catwalk: Michelle flat out "hinted" that Angie should crawl on the stage and she missed the note. Know what happened to missed notes? Somebody else picks them up and that's exactly what Daya did. Now I'll forever wonder what that crawl woulda looked like had Angie took the note cuz it looked damn delicious on Daya. Speaking of delicious, out of all the designs, Daya's was the best. Imma let you finish Lemon from Canada's Drag Race season 1, but Daya has the best yellow look I've seen performed in. Hold on, didn't season 12 do a yellow runway? *combs my memories* Yup. Yeah, they most certainly did. Doesn't matter. I said what I said 😂😂😂
*pause* I 100% legit believe that Daya should have won this challenge. I love me some Lady Camden and yes, she served, but Daya SERVED... I don't care, I don't care. Fight me
^Queen (But it's a soft queen. It's not that I don't like this. It's just, this was her last time on the main stage. Maybe I'm being greedy, but I kinda expected more)
Catwalk: Not only was her garment ill fitted, she should have worn a different wig and that color scheme was atrocious
^QUEEN (OMC... She's a rat. This is the greatest thing that has hit that damn stage in so freaking long. I know everybody just wants to be pretty, but sometimes drag is outside the box. Honestly, this is still pretty. This ain't your momma's rat. Nah. This is some rich lady's rat that lives in the house and she hand feeds it caviar)
Catwalk: Dammit Willow! She was doing the choreography (Did I mention they only had like, an hour to run through the choreography before they were expected to shoot the music video 😩😩😩) and she was doing it great. Problem was, she was so dead behind the eyes that I couldn't focus on much else
^QUEEN (Picture this: You're at your father's funeral. A woman saunters in while the pastor is in the middle of prayer. Slowly, slowly... Almost at a snail's pace, she walks the aisle, face pointed straight forward. Whispers follow her, and yet, she doesn't acknowledge the mourners in the church. She reaches a shaky palm to touch the casket. Suddenly, she lets out a bone chilling "Lord, why?!?!?!" as she drops to her knees, sobbing. The pastor does a quick nod to the nearest deacon. The deacon, understanding, rushes over to help the woman from the carpet. She refuses his help. Instead, she uses the side of the casket to pull herself up. She dusts imaginary dirt from her dress then slowly, slowly, almost in the exact fashion that she entered, she saunters from the church. You look up at your mother. She is pissed!
Later, while cutting potatoes for Sunday dinner with your grandma, you ask about the woman. She sighs as if she's not going to answer and right when you're sure that's exactly what's about to happen, she goes: "That was your daddy's mistress" then she goes back to prepping food like she didn't just drop a bomb in your lap...
That's what I got outta Angie's look as she walked the runway. Very that)
Catwalk: Man, Angie told y'all she's not a choreography person. She knew the 1st move and the last move. the middle, she freestyled. She looked good tho'. Michelle didn't like her catsuit, but I did.
Well, I already talked about the lipsync so there's no need to walk through it again. In Untucked, everybody was coming up with all these different ways this could go and I like that TWICE Daya went: "I bet it's gonna be all of us." Well Daya, you were wrong, but all of you will be in the finale and you know what...
I can't wait!
Later
PS: Somebody made a meme about RuPaul's gah-awful runway this week...
^Now I can't unsee it 🤣🤣🤣
PS: Caleb just swooped in with today's positive point cuz I was feeling down, but he just picked me back up cuz...
Sidebar: She tried to text me this week! (Cuz I was attempting to track down Player 456) I sent back "Um, don't text me lady. It's weird."
