S02.E05: I Love the 90s

[theatremouse]

A shocking twist is revealed that changes the game forever, as the secret celebrities perform their favorite hits from the '90s.

This was a Ru-shenanigans episode if there ever was one. In no way did Chakra and Donna outperform Poppy and Chic-La-Fey.

Yeah as soon as Donna said she hadn't won yet, I knew she was getting the W. 

But all in all, I had a hard time figuring out who would go home. Thirsty was about my only choice really. So I'm not all that surprised it was non-elim. 

Donna being Top 2 I can almost see. Not so sure Chakra being Top 7, but I'm less familiar with that song. Poppy should have been Top 2 for all those reveals; if she had done a wig reveal along the way it would have been without a doubt I'm sure. 

And yeah Chic was also Top 2 as well IMO, but I would've had a three way in the Top 2 ultimately. Chakra and Thirsty would have been my bottom two just from elimination.

I loved Thirsty's performance. Britney Spears songs are always guaranteed to bring on the sexy and the camp.

Also, I looked up Thirstys celebrity and I have recently watched him on another show and enjoyed him. I am rooting for him even though I know he is not favored to win.

Thirsty is my fave. I immediately knew she was Mark Indelicato so my affection for him is probably a large part of that.

I think Poppy will win.

I hope so. His routines have been the hardest.

Poppy has had some really nice dance sequences, the outfit reveals in this ep were great, but everytime I watch her, I'm amazed by the blandness of her face. She hardly emotes at all with her eyes; in the Spice Girls performance it was especially notable because there's so much room for giving each trope/member a different visual personality and Poppy did none of that. I think Donna's transformation in drag is one of the best - her face is beautiful - though imo this week her performances was a little weak. And what did I miss about Chakra 7 - what was the reason for the blue paint? Just another way to try to hide her super-secret celebrity identity?

[SemiCharmedLife]

I was impressed with Donna this week, both the prepared song and the lip synch.  She was really bringing it with her gestures, movements and the way she emoted during the songs.  I also liked the song she chose and her story behind it.  Good for Donna Bellisima!
