But Bebe isn’t pleased, pointing out that her character is “stiff…and unapproachable. Knowing that, it makes sense that Morgan would assign her the role of the Queen. Thread the first: Is Bebe stepping into the role of villain? Since the beginning, she’s been a bit remote - regal, unreadable. So the bulk of this episode is a little predictable, but there are still interesting threads to pull on. (Trixie: “This is like your pretty friends not going to prom, and then you’re like….”) But to me, there’s already a new frontrunner. (Her impression of Bebe Zahara Benet’s side-eye in the workroom is hilariously dead-on, and continues to show off her acting chops.) Combine that with a sharp intelligence, confidence and an excellent track record, and I don’t know how she loses.Īt the top of the hour, the queens wonder if BenDeLa’s exit means the crown is up for grabs. She’s the only girl left who seems to shine in every arena, whether it’s in the challenges or just shooting the breeze backstage. Heading into the finale, that’s why Shangela is my pick to win.

Shangela knows how to turn a gimmick, lemme tell ya. But Shangela twerks in a fat suit, so all is well. Yes, Trixie and Shangela have to lip sync to a RuPaul song (“Freaky Money”), rarely a good sign. Getting to the elimination is a kick, though. It sounds fun, but her big moment involves improving her way through an unhinged entrance dance, and while I don’t know how she was supposed to make that funny, you can tell she’s on the wrong track when her first instinct is to walk upstage and be quiet. For whatever reason, she picks for herself the role of the Beige Swan, a super-competitive prima ballerina. Her performance in the challenge clinches her elimination. Morgan McMichaels is back on the show after missing the past five episodes, so she already has more to prove than the rest of the girls. You can see the elimination coming a mile away, too. The girls with the most acting experience - Trixie (playing feisty whistleblower Sharon Frockovich) and Shangela (playing all-purpose Octavia Spencer tribute Actavia) - do the most with their roles and easily make it into the the top, leaving the rest of the girls to fill out the bottom. It’s hard to go too wrong when the big finale has the five-some farting out “Here Comes the Bride,” but in terms of the performances, it goes down how you’d expect. (To be specific, it mashes up The Queen, Black Swan, Erin Brockovich, The Help, Hidden Figures, and La La Land). The girls have to film a trailer for My Best Squirrelfriend’s Dragsmaids Wedding Trip, a buddy comedy starring the female leads from high-powered Oscar bait flicks. All the same, it still feels a little tired. Part of the reason acting challenges feel so rote is because there are usually too many of them, but that’s actually not the case here - this is the first one we’ve had all season.

Plus it’s an acting challenge, which are reliably some of the most boring challenges on the show. What we have here is an acceptable, expectable hour of Drag Race that moves the seasons’ storylines along without adding much of anything new. It’s a tough act to follow, and “My Best Squirrelfriend’s Dragsmaids Wedding Trip” doesn’t really get the job done, awesome title notwithstanding.
Last week on RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars, BenDeLaCreme sacrificed herself so that her sisters might live, blew the top off every viewers’ head, sashayed off the runway backwards and upside down, and hopped on a flying motorcycle before blasting into space. RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars ratchets down the tension from last week’s shocker of an episode for a relaxing, by-the-numbers hour.
