RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE SEASON 9 SNATCH GAME PROFESSIONAL

RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE SEASON 9 SNATCH GAME PROFESSIONAL

Sure enough, Ru returned after speaking with what I assume is the on-call Botox nurse who doubles as the show’s medical professional and Eureka got sent home for safety reasons (Missed opportunity: “How’s your leg?” “Lots of complaints.”). This has never happened before, and when shit goes down right before Ru eliminates someone you know it’s going to affect the decision.

The lip sync ended, and I quickly un-muted the TV (Meghan Trainor? I hardly know her) because for the first time in RPDR herstory, one of the crew WALKED ACROSS THE SET and said something to Ru, which led him to WALK AWAY FROM THE JUDGE’S TABLE.

That’s two in a row, which makes me wonder if we’re soon to be drinking the Shea Kool-Aid… Shea Couleé skinned the competition with her uber-fashionable look - which combined with her performance as Blac Chyna - made her the clear winner of the week. The third element that made this week’s episode the best of the season so far was the runway theme, Faux Fur Fabulous. That being said, this was the strongest challenge of the season thus far, coming at just the right moment as the perfect lead-in to next week’s Snatch Game, which always separates the wheat from the chaff. Other queens who struggled in the challenge were the Kardashian sisters proper, played by Cynthia Lee Fontaine (Kim), Aja (Kourtney) and Nina Bo’Nina Brown (Khloe), and Farrah Moan as little sister brand usurper Kylie Jenner. Valentina’s performance could have used a Pepsi though, and while she is delivering A-grade look after A-grade look (that mini challenge swimsuit look, good Lord), the crowd favourite is yet to really outperform anyone in a performance challenge. Other frontrunners were Shea as Blac Chyna, Peppermint as Britney Spears, and for the look alone, Valentina as Kendall Jenner.
