RuPaul's Drag Race - Tap That App Rucap
We’re back back back again with another Drag Race episode! As usual, before we get to the mini challenge, let’s get onto this week’s bit of drama. Why can’t Aquaria leave The Vixen alone? Once again, she decides to make a snide comment about The Vixen wearing someone else’s wig and winning last week’s challenge and then gets upset when the Vixen snaps back. I love a bit of drama but I always hate when someone starts an argument, they clearly cannot finish. Let’s get back to the competition, this week’s mini challenge was another quick drag scenario, the girls had to advertise a RuPaul chocolate bar, random but stay with me. Monique and Monet absolutely killed me, her Irish jig was hilarious! So the winners of the mini challenge are Blair st Clair, Monet and Monique and they get to be team captains for this week’s maxi challenge!
This week the queens have to create adverts for new dating apps: End of Days for doomsday preppers, Fibstr for pathological liars and Madam Buttrface for girls with amazing bodies but her face. So here’s who everyone picked:
Team Blair – End of Days Miz Cracker
The Vixen
Eureka
Team Monet – Madam Buttrface
Yuhua
Aquaria
Asia
Team Monique - Fibstr
Mayhem
Kameron
Dusty
Now I’m sure that finding Eureka annoying last week wasn’t due to editing, she’s annoying as fuck but that’s not really a surprise. What did surprise me though was. I thought she was going to be hilarious and her and Monet would overshadow Aquaria and Asia but the opposite happened. Monet not choosing her in the first place didn’t make sense at first but as soon as they started planning their lines, you could see why. She didn’t listen to any of their suggestions and when she was told to make herself ugly, she drew a few dots and that was it. Blair’s team was the only one who’s advert made sense from start to finish, even Monique’s team was a hot mess. I thought concept of Fibstr was that the people using the app would be liars so their dates would only see who they really were once they had met them but Monique’s character was the only one who lied about anything. Then we get to the main stage and they’re all being judged individually which again doesn’t make sense to me because only one group out of the 2 did that well but what do I know?
So now after a strange deliberation, was I the only one who thought Ru seemed really subdued this episode, our winner is Asia! I didn’t really like her runway, but it was so creative and she was hilarious in the challenge! The bottom two this week are Yuhua and Mayhem, which I completely understood, I do think Kameron should have ended up there as well only because she wanted to be the narrator so bad and didn’t do a good job at all. This week’s lip sync was even better than last week, I really thought Ru would keep them both but Mayhem was the winner. I would have been so upset if she had been sent home. I do feel bad for Yuhua though, I thought she would be around way longer! I really hope we get a break from the group challenges but we’ll just have to see what happens next week.
Funniest moment: Asia’s faces in the ad, I honestly thought I was going to die laughing
Side-eye moment: I feel like Aquaria’s name is constantly going to be here but her ‘tears’ after arguing with The Vixen
Winner (in my eyes): Asia
Bottom Two: I think it should have been Yuhua and Kameron
