Yara cracks me up as an off-the-walls drag queen with a meaty tuck, and Pandora proves to be a great foil to the rest of the team as she narrates the action.
Yara injects chaos and references to “dick farting” where applicable, and the result is a relatively cohesive piece of drag comedy. In the Werkroom, Pandora takes on the role of creative director, but Trinity and Ra’Jah contribute pretty equally to the sketch as well. Instead, this week we see a bunch of even, middle-of-the-road comedy sketches with a challenge winner that will have you saying, “Sure! Why not?” Let’s get to it:įirst up, the Drag Fixers, where Trinity, Pandora, Yara, and Ra’Jah advertise a service that’s something along the lines of “ Queer Eye for the Down Bad Drag Queen.” It’s a cute sketch, and by far the most successful of the three, mostly due to the fact that this group wisely chooses the simplest game: duct tape! Whether it’s a wig sliding back or a graphically loose tuck, these queens will stick you with enough duct tape to make your worries a thing of the past. But conversely, we also don’t get the joy of watching spectacular blowout challenge victories (Alaska’s commercial in All Stars 2, Shea’s Flavor Flav Snatch Game in All Stars 5). It makes the season feel competitive and less like a runaway (e.g., Shea, Alaska). Don’t get me wrong: I don’t mind a cast with no immediate front-runner. (Yeah, still not over it … ) As this season begins to take shape, it starts to become apparent that there are both pros and cons to an evenly matched season of underdog queens. Welcome back, besties! I hope you’re staying cool and indoors and are still enjoying your weekly 3 a.m.
