RuPaul's Drag Race Recap - Super Troopers

This season has finally torn itself from the bad "let's bring a departed queen back" schtick, and I think it's for the best. We have, essentially, the girls with the most star quality left (minus Alyssa!?), and we are ready to trudge forward. The one thing they didn't break away from this season is the makeover episode -- and be glad because it's one of the best Drag Race episodes to date. Don't believe me? Then check it!

I can't believe Alyssa is gone. And before Coco? Really? No, no. SENT HOME by Coco? REALLY? This show is testing my patients. First they make me like Alaska and then they send home the one who made all the great reaction shots? I mean where do we go from here?

Of course as soon as they walk in the work room, Coco is throwing shade. The girls (probably rightfully) assume that she is gonna transplant the anger from Alyssa onto another girl. Also, every one of the girls is going after Jinkx because she is somehow suddenly the one to be reckoned with even though two weeks ago they said she was terrible. This show MAKES NO SENSE EVER.

We move from here immediately into the mini challenge. Ru sends the girls to drag boot camp. They have to don some heels and some fake boobs and work it out. It all comes down to an endurance test, with each of them having to outlast the other in a bunch of exercises. It comes down to Jinkx and Alaska? Whaaat? Coco is the buffest one left! Alaska ends up winning, and since this is the makeover episode, we all know what that means.

Really, though. Is anyone pretty when they work out?

Oh wait, I just spoiled that this is the makeover episode. Ru announces that the girls are going to makeover some gay veterans. We got us a mix of daddy, jock, and twink. We got the whole homorainbow here. Alaska gets to pair the girls with their men. She tried to make it seem like she was innocent with the selection, but giving Jinkx the older man was definitely on purpose. We got some shade here.

The purpose of this episode is to get these girls riled up in more ways than one, but we are gonna be classy. By classy I mean I'm not gonna post any screencaps of some of the nearly X-Rated moments they show this go around. You're welcome. Probably you aren't, actually.

I am beyond sick of Roxxxy. She should have went home two weeks ago, but she has slid right on by. She spends the whole episode bitching about how she hated her partner. Not to get too personal, but he isn't the worst looking there, if you catch my drift.

Alaska's main problem is she picked the pretty boy, but her boy is really bad at the runway. She may be safe. Coco's man admits he didn't want to be gay for a long time, and looks a bit of a mess. Ru also brings up that she has been in the bottom a lot. Jinkx's man admits he may the be the reason Judy Garland died. What? The only one who really has a good shot at this seems to be Detox.

Ru lays down another layer to the challenge, too, saying that they have to come up with a color guard rutine on top of their makeover. Why didn't I see this coming. It was too simple in the beginning. There had to be more.

Ive never been one for back stories with the queens, but hearing the stories of these men in the military really got to me. It blows my mind how cruel the world can be. When Jinkxy's vet admitted he had AIDs, and his medicine caused his muscles to waste away, I lost it. If we don't get on to the main challenge, Imma cry.

In an effort to get more views for their online videos, it seems we only get a montage of the color guard routines. It looked as if everyone but Detox had everything under control. Odd. They were the ones that everyone thought would win.

Alaska simply brought back Ivy to be her partner.

The Runway:
Jinkx and Fortuna did a Liza/Judy partnership. Jinkx looked super cute, but the dress on Fotruna was NOT flattering in the least. I wish she'd tried a bit more there.
Roxxxy and Isabella look scarily alike. Roxxxy is very good with makeup, and their makeup was spot on. This is cray.
Alaska and Nebraska looked a lot alike, too. I didn't like the burgler concept, but her sister looked like Pamela Anderson SPOT ON!
Detox and Beth Adone are a bit of a mess. At least he can walk.
Coco and Horchata are a bit of a mess too. I think we know who the bottom are -- and who's going home.

I told you she didn't have the worst one!

The judges go down the line, and Alaska gets ripped apart. This is honestly one of the only times I would accept her getting a free pass, but only because there are a couple of others who need to get out first. That's right. Alaska can stay in my book. I don't care. She's far from the worst at this point.

Roxxxy took home the win this week. I wasn't surprised. As much as I want her gone at this point, I have to say that she turned this one out. As for the bottom, it was nearly anyone's game. Coco, of course is tossed in there. Fourth time. She's up against Detox in her second time in the bottom.

While we all know Michelle won that lip sync, someone still has to go home.  Coco gets the boot finally. Jinkx got her wish. She oulasted the bully. Now where do we go from here?
