After Jessica Wild earned her first win last week, she explains that she chose Mrs. Kasha Davis to go home over Darienne Lake because Darienne fought to remain in the competition while it seemed like Kasha was okay with going home. The queens then pick out the lipstick votes from the voting box where Darienne received four votes to go home and Kasha received five votes. Heidi N Closet, Jimbo, and Jaymes Mansfield admit to voting for Darienne because of her track record, and Darienne feels shaken.
Jessica then asks the group if they’re happy that she won or if they want to tell her something because when she came into the Werk Room on Untucked, and of course Kandy Muse chims in, there were some sour faces. A clip from Untucked is shown where Jimbo asked Heidi why she’s upset and Heidi responded saying that just because she’s quiet doesn’t mean she’s upset. Kahanna Montese says Jessica deserved the win and Jaymes says that while she wanted the win, Jessica deserved it.
Heidi then says, “I’m very happy that you won. Did I necessarily think you were going to win? No. But I’m so happy that you did, because you did work hard.” In the confessional, Heidi says she’s a little upset because she is giving the judges what they want but hasn’t won a challenge yet. When the queens are getting out of drag, Lala Ri asks Heidi what’s going on and says that she feels like she’s not being seen. Kandy brings up how Heidi was over it in Untucked and Heidi admits she contemplated getting up and leaving.
In Jessica’s confessional, she says she understands that they all want to win in this competition but they should deal with whatever they’re going through. She then says, “Mommy, hold on because I’m going further and I’m going to win.”
Ru enters the Werk Room to announce that for this week’s maxi challenge the queens will be creating trailers for a scriptied series of any genre they choose and star in it. To put the queens in groups of three, the girls use the Pit Crew to pop balloons on them and whatever colored confetti comes out of the balloon determines which team the queens are in. This is the third time they’ve done this kind of weird way to assign queens into teams, but this time the queens can decide if they want to have a Pit Crew member hit them from behind or top. Lala, Kahanna, Kandy, Heidi, Jessica, Jaymes, and Jimbo bottom while Darienne and Alexis Michelle top. Lala, Kahanna, and Heidi are team number one; Darienne, Alexis, and Jaymes are team number two; and Jessica, Jimbo, and Kandy are team number three. The queens will be shooting their trailers with Michelle Visage and Ru adds that he wants the queens to add key art for their series.
Team number two has a confusing concept for their trailer so bear with me. Darienne pitches this idea while Jaymes supports her, it’s inspired by the show Lost and the “others” are dead celebrities that terrorize people on the island but the dead celebrities actually faked their deaths. They won’t let people leave the island because then the outside world would know they’re still alive. Alexis voices her concern that the story is a little complicated and is worried about getting the point across quickly.
Team number one is thinking about a scary, comedy trailer. Heidi shares an idea about a queen who almost gets kidnapped by two idiots who can’t succeed in the kidnapping because they’re stupid. Kahanna will play the queen who’s getting kidnapped and Heidi and Lala will play the kidnappers. Kahanna tries to give the queens some ideas, but the concept she pitched about taking off her tucking panties and the smell making the kidnappers pass out is stupid.
Team number three’s idea is about three high school girls where two of them are best friends but the third girl really wants to be in their group. The besties would then torture the nerd, but she comes back and murders the two bullies. Jessica compares it to the movie Carrie so Kandy thinks they’d get called out for not coming up with their own material, while Jimbo thinks it would save time. Kandy then pitches the idea that they could make one of the Pit Crew members be the killer but Jimbo thinks one of them should be the killer since they are the ones competing and the killer is a key role.
I’m going to save everyone some time and sum up when the queens shoot their scenes with Michelle. For team number three: Kandy fake makes out with a Pit Crew member, Michelle doesn’t approve of Jessica douching or blowing a Pit Crew member, and Jimbo is shown doing well. For team number one: Heidi and Lala are doing a fantastic job as the kidnappers, Kahanna tries to shine like her teammates but doesn’t succeed. For team number two: the story is still confusing, Alexis does well, Jaymes doesn’t do too well, and there are no comments for Darienne.
Remember when Ru says the queens have to create art for their trailers? To no surprise, that was all for a sponsorship with Canva, so there’s a short clip of the queens using Canva to create posters for their shows. While the queens are getting ready, Kandy tells Jimbo that she’s heard queens say they think Jimbo is big competition and that she wouldn’t be surprised if Jimbo gets sent home if she ends up in the bottom. Jessica then joins Jimbo and Kandy’s alliance.
Kandy then asks Heidi if she’s doing okay after her Untucked moment and Heidi is flustered by Kandy bringing up her struggle in front of everybody and thinks it puts a target on her. Let’s not forget that they are in an alliance together. Heidi then says that other queens (Kandy) try to make other queens look bad but if they’re going to play games, she’s ready to spill Kandys tea. Heidi then says Kandy has told her things out of the Werk Room that wouldn’t fly if everyone else knew about it.
On the runway, Ru walks in a shiny dark silver dress with an asymmetrical shoulder and massive bracelets on her right arm. The guest judge this week is Maude Apatow and TS Madison is also present.
The runway category is “Ass The World Turns.”
- First up is Jaymes Mansfield in an Aztec inspired look with a massive red, yellow, and blue feathered headpiece, massive earrings, a white bodysuit dress with gold and white dangling jewel trim, and gold bracelets with turquoise beads dangling from them. When she turns around her ass is quite padded.
- Darienne Lake is in a copper bodysuit with garters showing off that body and sleeves that expose her breasts and when she turns around we’re not surprised by her huge ass.
- Alexis Michelle is in a white wedding dress with white flowers on a nude fabric, a long white tulle veil, a big white bouquet, and when she turns around there is a big hole in her dress exposing her real ass.
- Kandy Muse is in a blue and purple leopard spotted latex mini dress with bubble-like breasts as well as leggings, gloves that expose her hands, and a big inflated latex pigtail headpiece (very similar to her drag mom’s, Aja, look on All Stars 3). When she turns around there are two massive bubble-like ass cheeks but the skin color on the latex throughout her body is kind of greyish purple and where her actual ass is supposed to be is saggy. Weird. She also has a blue spanking paddle to fit the fetishy theme.
- Jessica Wild is in a shiny white asymmetrical dress that exposes one hip until she takes off the skirt part to reveal her left ass cheek with a red glitter lipstick kiss mark on it with white sleeve gloves and a brunette Marcel wave wig.
- Jimbo is in a heatsensor-like full bodysuit with a Z-cup sized bouncy breast plate on her ass, and smaller breasts in the front exposed through a healthy amount of cleavage.
- Heidi N Closet is in an Eeyore look (Get it? Ass) with a full bodysuit in a shiny, purple-grey velvet fabric, a super small skirt that reveals her big padded ass and rhinestone panty, a rhinestone bra that reveals into rhinestone pasties, she also has on donkey ears and makeup that Heidi had to have walked the whole runway looking down because she painted eyes on her eyelids.
- Kahanna Montrese is in a mint colored nurse mini dress with big shoulder pads and thigh high boots, handless gloves, headband with a stesethscope on it, and she carries a syringe the side of her body while walking down the runway. She turns around to also expose her real ass.
- Lala Ri is in an ill-fitted, red two piece suit with rhinestone trim and exposed shoulders until she turns around to expose her real ass with chains connecting the suit and her hole. Unfortunately, the back just looks like someone tore off the back of her suit because the nude illusion doesn’t really match or she should’ve just been naked in the back.
The trailer for team number two plays first and it’s quite longwinded and honestly not too bad. It’s just still confusing. After a couple of minutes of playing stranded tourists, Jaymes plays Marilyn Monroe while Alexis plays Agnes Moorehead until all the queens fall off a cliff.
Team number three’s trailer is pretty funny with Kandy and Jessica playing the popular mean sluts while Jimbo tries to latch onto them. Jimbo becomes insane while trying to fit in and after being bullied by the whores, she kills them.
For team number one’s trailer, Heidi and Lala are hilarious and play very well off each other. Kahanna kind of blends into the background, but the whole trailer is clear and easy to follow.
Heidi, Kahanna, and Lala’s team is safe while the other two teams remain on stage for critiques. Jaymes is critiqued for not being funny and her team is told they got the job done, but they weren’t funny. Jaymes’ look is well received though. Darienne is told she stood out in the maxi challenge but the judges still wanted her to be funnier. Thankfully the judges think Darienne looks beautiful on the runway. Alexis receives compliments on her runway look for being conceptual. Ru then calls their team’s trailer pleasant, but not a laugh riot. Alexis apologizes before telling the judges that she did not come up with the concept for the sketch, throwing her teammates under the bus. Not a cute look, girl. TS Madison asks Alexis why she wasn’t assertive about changing the idea for the sketch, where Alexis responds by saying she froze a little. Alexis, girl, you are full of it. Ru asks Darienne if she has a rebuttal and she responds by saying she feels like she’s the only one defending their sketch but she actually likes their sketch.
Kandy gets good critiques all around for being funny and for her look. Jessica is complimented for being crass and that her humor doesn’t feel forced. Michelle tells Jessica she could use some blush or highlighter to not look so flat. Jimbo is praised for her look and putting breasts on her ass as well as how well she did in the acting challenge by making the audience sympathetic of her character while watching her become a murderer.
Jimbo is the winner of this week’s challenge, receiving a $5,000 cash prize, while Kandy and Jessica are safe and Jaymes, Darienne, and Alexis are in the bottom. Jimbo is in a Beetlejuice meets ‘80s hooker look with a black and white striped bodysuit and shaggy green hair. The lip sync assassin this week is the first queen to enter the Werk Room on season 1 as well as a front runner on All Stars 1, the one and only diva, Shannel. Jimbo admits in her confessional that she’s terrified knowing Shannel is a fierce performer. They lip sync to “Bad Reputation” by Joan Jett. To no surprise, Shannel wipes the floor with Jimbo’s ass by performing like the seasoned professional she is by engaging with the audience and personifying this high energy, rebellious song with a cool ease. Shannel wins the lip sync and the $10,000 prize rolls over to next week’s lip sync and she reveals the group’s vote to send home Darienne Lake from the competition and straight into the Fame Games.
