RuPaul's Drag Race Recap - Can I Get An Amen?

The time has come for one more queen to go home (probably). It's also the first week where things are starting to get tough. Wonder why? Well this week's challenge is insane for one, and there's non-stop drama. Let's just get into it, shall we? Week six: The singing challenge.



It's post snatch game, and everything is suddenly real. Or actually it's not. Reality TV is never real. They jump right back into the work room, where Detox is shell shocked from her bottom two experience. Mean wile, Jinkx feels neglected in comparison to Rolaskatox. Team GaoSalad is to be FEARED. Well Team GaoSalad Version 2.0.

Oh and Latoya is back. AGAIN.

Ru comes in and announces the mini challenge. They have to do their makeup in total darkness. This is gonna be fun. It's about time we got to see a challenge that didn't suck completely. The girls wander around in the dark, making for some hilarious shenanigans. They all had hoods on for a dramatic reveal.

Alyssa was my favorite, as she practically molested herself int he mirror. The rest of them looked quite terrible, with Alaska being the worst. Detox took the win, however, proving me eternally wrong about everything.

The Willam Show is canceled. Make way for Alyssa's Face!
Ru moves forward telling them about the main challenge. They are to write and record an inspirational anthem called "Can I Get An Amen". They are split into teams to write. Detox gets to choose. Of course Rolaskatox are together, and they paired Alyssa and Coco together. Dramaaaa~

Apparently Detox gets to decide the order of the singing, as well. She pairs up with her cohorts putting Coco and Alyssa first to try and throw them under the bus. Alyssa can dance, maybe she can sing, too.

The layers up on layers of this challenge draw comparisons to season three's over the top challenges. They have to pull together and 80s look, write lyrics, record a song, and still have their asses in gear for the runway.

Let's get right into this challenge. Immediately Coco bitches right at Detox for the placement at the beginning. She is being a spoil sport -- and she's pretty bad at singing. At least she looks good. Big shock when Jade turned out to be a horrible singing, roo. I think Ivy had the best look for the challenge. Rolaskatox was a hot mess, and all Alaska seemed to just be bitching about the immaturity of her team mates. Wasn't she the one shwoing off her dick in episode one?

They would make a pretty awesome 80s girl group... if Jade could sing.
The best part of it all was the freestyling. Some of them were funny like Alaska for once, some of them were talented like Jinkx... and then there was Coco who just stared into the camera. Can someone make me a gif of that?

Back in the work room, Coco is bitching quietly to Alyssa of all people about how terrible Detox is. Of course Detox hears this (somehow. Not saying it's producers but somehwo), and runs over to set the record straight. Drama drama drama. Uninteresting drama. Can we get Phi Phi and Sharon back already?

I use that fake smile every time the drama piles on this season.
The runway this week apparently has a theme. They are gonna accentuate their favorite body parts. Let's all hope that nobody is really proud of their johnson.

First up is Coco. Her favorite part is her heart? She is very goth and looks really great for once.
Alyssa is in love with her legs, and they look great. Watch out Honey Mahogany, because she is stealing your look and doing it better. This girl knows how to work a caftan.
Jade reveals that she doesn't carry anything over five pounds so that she can keep "petite arms". Whatever that means. Her hair looked good, but the rest of the outfit was a jumbled mess. NEXT.
Ivy took the Willam route and made a dress (instead of a boat) covered in her own face. I guess that's what she is most proud of? Anyway, her look was my top pick for the episode.
Jinkx's look was kind of bad tis time. She looked like aa 60s rich bitch lady.
Roxxxy wanted to show off her bewbs. They are huge. Really huge. Like her hair.
Alaska showed off her collar bone. How can you be proud of that?
Detox came out in a sexy black dress that laced all the way down, even to her ass. Nice reveal. I bow to you.

Why pick one body part when you can pick them all?
The video was pretty amusing. Only Jinkx and Ivy could actually sing, turning it into a bit of a circus. The highlight was Jinkx's extended note at the end, giving it a great ending. The video was awkward, but I think that was the idea.

Ivy takes the win, obviously, and she truly deserves it. Quickly, both Detox and Jinkx are announced as safe. YAY TEAM GAOSALAD! After harping on Alaska over and over, they announce her as safe. This is four free passes. I'm over it.

Coco and Jade were placed in the bottom. I think it's pretty obvious who is going home this time. Jade actually surprised me a bit by how good her performance was, but Coco was definitely outshining her. In the end, Coco sent Jade home. What do I think about this? It's about time, that's what.
