She does get props for finding a loaf of bread to use during the mini-challenge though. Like seriously, where did she find that? That's pretty much the only nice thing I have to say about Jasmine.

Apparently she had a bag packed with bread, cold cuts, and a giant bottle of hot sauce. According to gossip from one of the viewing parties with Ginger.

You can see the hot sauce in the episode!

Yeah. It sounds like Ru tries to starve her queens to make everybody hungry and ornery, for the drama. Other queens in the past have complained about the pathetic excuses for food they were given. Sharon is a vegetarian, and said she ate nothing but mayonnaise sandwiches the whole time she was there because the crew simply would not give her anything vegetarian.

So, filling a suitcase with food was probably the one smart thing that Jasmine did this season. Good riddance such a nasty, bitter queen was sent home packing. When it was revealed in Untucked that she was seriously planning on just standing there and refusing to lip sync before Kandy talked her out of it, she just lost any ounce of pity or respect that I had left for her, of which there was very little to begin with.

I mean besides the fact that she's stuck-up and circlejerking with Jasmine (and Kasha and Ginger, which disappointed me).

It's weird because when Ginger talked about the 'bitter old ladies club' I feel like she's just sort of playing around, whereas Jasmine and Kennedy were dead serious. I just can't imagine her making GBS threads on people like they did.

That was some giant defense mechanism bullshit. Didn't they say she was packing her bags before the actual performance when she heard it was an acting challenge? Did she think the show was just going to be lip synching and being sour as gently caress and nothing that she'd struggle at? It's especially ridiculous because Jaidynn had a sudden freakout in the middle of their performance and she pulled her poo poo together really quick; Jasmine just took one look at something vaguely out of her comfort zone and just gave up so she could pretend like she was going out with honor or some poo poo.

There is an older queens alliance consisting of Kennedy, Kasha, Jasmine, and Ginger. They hate the younger queens.

They dressed up as old women and did a dance off to determine who would lead the teams: Kennedy and Max.

Max's team performed Romy and Juliet. Kennedy's did Macbitch.

Pearl has never heard of Macbeth.

Max's team did fairly well. Jayden had a breakdown, but Max talked her through it and pulled it off.

Kennedy's team was a disaster because they didn't practice. Kennedy was also trying to take out Violet by giving her the part of the ghetto queen, but that backfired when Jasmine couldn't pull off bitchy in the title role of Macbitch. Turns out Jasmine couldn't pull off ghetto either. Pearl came off as cold and flat, surprise, surprise.

During this insanity, Ru let loose on the queens, screaming at them to pull their poo poo together.

For the runway, the queens wore ballgowns and beards. Jasmine for some reason refused to wear a beard claiming she would get acne and would have to go to the hospital. She painted one on instead. It looked terrible, although her dress was pretty sick.

When Jasmine and Violet were giving excuses for their performances, Ru lost it on them again and told them she was sick of their excuses.

Max won, deservedly. She was hilarious in the challenge, and her bearded look was great.

Kennedy and Jasmine lip synced, and Jasmine was sent packing.

Yea, it reeked of Magnolia Crawford last season, who after getting eliminated "first", claimed she never wanted to be on the show in the first place.

I think Max is going for a 'Continental'/Transatlantic accent, not a British accent. That would fit more with her old Hollywood schtick, and would also explain why her accent sounds slightly (but not quite) British. But I agree with whoever said she needed to really commit to the 'weirdness' without taking it too seriously.

I am disappointed in Ginger for this though she seemed waaaay less serious about it than the other cranky older queens.

Jayden and Max were just great. Jayden for getting her poo poo together and Max for being such a cool person and helping.

I think so too, but she really has her stealth bitch moments. At the start of this weeks untucked, when Trixie asks "have we not all thought been thinking, since the beginning, max was amazing?", GInger's response was shady. She talks about how she didn't get Max's drag and that she was worried for Max in this challenge; but not in a supportive, "I don't want to see you fail" sort of way but rather a "I expected you to fail" sort of way. She hides her shade in the unspoken parenthetical statements -- it's all very "You exceeded my expectations (because I expected you to suck)"She did the same thing last week with Trixie and Pearl, though to a lesser extent, last week.

I mean, I'm not gonna hold it against her - drag queens in a competition and all that - and besides, nothing Ginger said was mean or anything, but those little compliments-with-an-asterisk that she's been giving out are unnecessary, and if she's ever in the bottom I fully expect the claws to come out. In any case I'm still team minj.

I suspect it's really less age than aesthetic that divides these girls. Ginger, kasha and Kennedy have much more classic drag looks to violet, pearl and fame's runway fashion approach, with Max's look a little too conceptual to consider classic.

"As a rule, I never touch anything more sophisticated and delicate than myself."
Usually they can edit even terrible performances to be bearable but holy poo poo I had to watch MacBitch through the cracks of my fingers.

Someone had made the comparison between Max and Jinx last week and I just groaned. The whole feigned underdog act when she was clearly getting a winner's edit was absolutely tedious to sit through that season. Max's come into her own, though. That said, I'm riding the Katya train until the goddamn wheels fall off.

This is amazing.

Also: I can watch the Shakesqueer videos over and over again in comparison to the Chaz Bono interview challenge from last season, which I've only watched one time because it makes me hide under a blanket, completely mortified for Trinity K. Bonet. When Ru said this acting challenge was the worst debacle in Drag Race history, I immediately thought about the whole Chaz/Chad thing.

And then cringed for five minutes straight at the memory.

I really don't understand drag queens who have absolutely no acting ability whatsoever. I get if you can't sing or can't dance or are bad at comedy because all that poo poo is tough and takes practice and talent. But isn't putting on an outfit and creating a character what drag is all about at its core? Do some of these girls just expect to show up, throw on a dress, and smile and they think that's good enough? I don't even see how you'd get a local gig doing that because the drag acts I've seen have all been very much about putting on a show, not just looking pretty.

They do, and it astonishes me. I can see that for the first season or two, maybe, but how can anyone who's seen a single season of Drag Race still entertain the notion that looking good is going to be enough to win? Every season starts with three or four queens who seem to think they look so good that they don't have to actually do anything well, and they just drop like flies.

Even stranger are the queens who can't act tend to really hate on those who can, and who lately have inevitably gone on to win the whole thing.

This happens on every reality show - after like 10 seasons of Top Chef, there is invariably one person who is loving stunned that they might, as a contestant on a cooking show, be expected to make a dessert. I get that baking a cake is different than cooking, but it's just bizarre to get to the level of being on a show like this and not even think about covering your bases.

On the latest episode of Gayest of All Time with Jonny McGovern (formerly Gay Pimpin' with Jonny McGovern), they were discussing RuPaul's Drag Race, and two of their regulars have strong connections with the show.

First is Lady Red, a drag queen who is actually drag cousins (I'm guessing their drag mothers were drag sisters) with Jasmine Masters. When Jonny asked Lady Red if she was her favorite, she paused, and replied very diplomatically, "I am glad that she is on the show." Beyond that, she commented that Jasmine is a pro at throwing shade, something that I think we can all attest to.

Todd Masterson, a comedian, actually worked on the show. It sounds like he helped design the challenges, and maybe even helps write the jokes. He said they wanted the show to feel very fresh, so that's why they got an all new pit crew, why Untucked looks so different, and why they didn't do a photoshoot as the first challenge this season. They were originally going to have an actual drag ball with a live studio audience, but they nixed that last second because they were afraid of spoilers getting out of who was actually on the show. When asked who his favorite queen was, he refused to comment because he felt that would give away that they were going to be on the show for a while.

Also, if it wasn't obvious, they knew they wanted to do a stewardess challenge, but weren't sure how to do it until they saw that Virgin Airlines inflight safety video, and they took their inspiration from that.
