Soju drag queen all stars11/16/2023 ![]() ![]() I know that the consideration here was chiefly “who are the fans going to want to see again?” with a side order of “who has unresolved drama?” but neither Mercedes nor Kahanna ever got to wear anything nice on this show (and Mercedes had FOUR attempts), couldn’t one of them have had a makeover instead? I’m not exactly sat here wondering if Plastique could ever look truly beautiful as a woman, you know? (It also might have meant that Soju felt a bit less like a definitive booby prize). The Maxi Challenge : So as I said, it’s time for a makeover challenge, and here are the willing victims ![]() Yvie (“Brooke, I don’t know anything about Canada or its people, and based on Snatch Game, neither do you!”), Vanjie (“Yvie, you ugly Naomi Smalls!”) and Silky (“NINA YOU BIG OLE CHAPERONE GRILLED CHEESE LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER!”) all got off some choice reads and slaps, but Brooke was the deserving winner for these amazingĨ0s soap opera villain reaction shots. ![]() How can she be so good at writing for Brooke and yet so bad at writing for herself? Although speaking of which, A’Keria was on PRIME stirring form here, referencing the mostly buried third corner of the Nina-Brooke-Vanjie love triangle. Absolutely it’s the gas leak, Willam has told us all how cheap they are and how rickety that set is, hire professional writers? NO WAY! Anyway, whether wind assisted or not, the constant here is that Nina’s reads were lame as. Now I’ll be honest, the sheer gulf in quality between the reads here and the ones used in the Reading Challenge make me suspect that EITHER the queens had outside help here OR they were all suffering from the effects of a gas leak there, and I know which I think is more likely. They’re already in enough trouble with the unions for not hiring a professional editor to make the ending of All Stars 4 make sense. Last year you’ll remember that Ru herself was the one delivering the punishment beatings, but after “accidentally” poking Asia in the eye for real, she opted out this year, in case she landed the show with another lawsuit it couldn’t cash. The Mini Challenge : A return for one of last year’s most popular new challenges here, as the queens were asked to “Slap Out Of It” ie do the Reading Challenge again, but with added physical violence meeting each cutting line, in the form of a fake slap from the recipient. I guess it can’t hurt to be reminded occasionally that drag is agony. NOT THAT TIME! Meanwhile, everyone mused sadly on what a nice old lady Shuga had been, Silky tried her best to look humbled and downbeat in the wake of the judges shredding her ability to pad, and we were “treated” to a montage of the queens wincing in pain as they removed their wigs ‘n’ tapes ![]() Normally the makeover episode is a heartwarming affair, where queens respect their gay elders, or teach straight guys to dismantle their toxic masculinity, or give Sarge who runs the camera crew a chance to emerge from the shadows and show us all his Wintergreen. Sadly, the show wasn’t listening and proceeded to set up an episode that was 5% content, 95% catfights, judging stunts, and patented A’Keria C Davenport shit-disturbing. The Aftermath : Vanjie walked back into the workroom this week promising she was going to heed the wise words of Mary J Blige from last week’s Lip-Sync face-off : “no more drama”. ![]()
