S14.E07: The Daytona Wind

[Keywestclubkid]

The queens don shoulder pads and flex their acting muscles in a campy '80s soap opera; LGBT activist TS Madison guest Judges.

Lady Camden finally gets the win.  She’s funny, talented and seems very nice, unlike Daya who can leave any time.

Now we're back on track. That challenge was genius, and the right person won (and doubly earned it.) I'm glad I didn't bother surfing to Celebrity BB, this was worth it. Jasmine has really grown on me, and Untucked was quite powerful.

Lady Camden deserved to win for that runway moment alone!!  That was freaking brilliant!

IKR? The best part, besides the chaps look and the substance of the lip sync, was when she pulled off the wig, mustache, revealing another wig mustache underneath! 

I hate that Angeria faltered a bit, and Daya can still shut it, but overall, this was excellent. But now we've had what amounts to three non-elims, so I wonder if this one was brought to us by Kornbread's early departure, just to keep things on schedule, and this challenge was deemed suitable for it since everyone did so well.

This is one of my favorite seasons yet. I like most of the contestants and I looove when they have to create new looks rather than relying on what they brought. 

A moustache reveal???? Yaaasss.

But the kicker for me was Willows tiny purse! 😄

I'm not a fan of "acting" challenges, though I'm glad everyone did well- according to the style they were given.  The runway was fun and I'm glad there was no elimination this week.  I enjoy it when things are changed up (and they didn't have to use that damn candy bar to drum up a pre-arranged non elimination.)

I loved what Lady Camden brought to the runway and lip sync.  I'm thrilled for her win!

Just an observation - almost every Drag Race queen (from the American show) who's had long hair out of drag has come out as trans.

IIRC, there's been Stacy Lane Matthews, Jiggly Caliente, Kenya Michaels, Monica Beverly Hillz, Gia Gunn, and now Jasmine and Bosco (and Kerri, lol.)

Anyway...I've been annoyed by Daya in past weeks, but I never actively disliked her. That changed in Untucked, though, when she took that shot at Jasmine. (Jasmine was saying that she didn't do well on the first two acting challenges, and Daya felt the need to say something like, "We remember.") Daya would have flipped if someone had stepped on her moment like that - and she'd been crowing about her success in the challenge for quite some time.

I'm surprised that Daya didn't claim to be trans just to stay in the spotlight.

Wasn’t Kornbread bald? (Carmen, LaGanja, Peppermint, GiGi, etc). I would say just as many didn’t.  Not intending to argue but I am not a fan of generalizations like this.

I'm glad Lady Camden got the win but I loved all the queens's performances , this was one of the best acting challenges ever. Special cameo award goes to Willie's tiny purse!

I didn’t say that most of the trans queens had long hair. I said that most of the long-haired queens have been trans. So Kornbread and Peppermint are not exceptions.

Certainly in the minority here but I felt like this acting challenge was just your old run-of-the-mill Rupaul acting challenge. Given what I thought was a pretty lackluster performance by nearly everybody and the absolute shit-shows (shits-show?) that were the attempts at southern accents I fully expected Ru to pull some sort of twist or double elimination or something. I just couldn't believe there wasn't a bottom two (or four). 

There was nothing redeemable about that script. 

 

[DisneyBoy]

Is Lady Camden male? I keep seeing trans or girl in drag....maybe he just has one of those bodies...

The fart sounds should have made me LOL, but they just didn't. I've heard better. And don't tell me none of the girls picked up on the gassy puns when they were filming. Come on now.

I hate when the show feels this forced. Natural off the cuffs laughs please, not scripted ones.

 

[Lethallyfab]

It doesn’t surprise me one bit that Ru thinks a fart joke is the height of humor.

Once again, I am *begging* this show to eliminate all ties, all non-eliminations and all returning queens.  It just completely saps all the drama out of it, IMO.  Or, if the show *insists* on doing it, which it will, at least narrow it down to only ONCE per season. It at least there’s still some semblance of dramatic stakes that way.
