Heeeeeeeeeeyy! For this week’s Drag Race recap, we have the honor of welcoming back woodsman Tim Weins and bio-drag queen Claudette Murphree. And this week, we’re blessed to welcome two more to the couch: Germanic beauty Katja Rivera, and gallery-owner Katie Geha! Ka-Pow!
Let’s get to the dirt!
Overall Impressions:
Katie: A lot of Divas being divas! I wonder if being a drag queen is a collaboration, or if it has to be.
Andy: You’re getting Deeeeeeeeeeep. Early on!
Katie: Well, no one was getting along.
Claud: I think the one team did ’til Chanell got bitchy with the make-up.
Andy: Yeah, it may be a reality thing.
Katie: I think it was edited to be more shady.
Team Serving Fish:
Katie: Ongina was excellent.
Katja: And she had the team spirit.
Claud: Ongina turned up the heat with a wig.
Andy: She looked good with a wig.
Tim: Like a real lady. Except for her… what did she call it?
Claudette: She called it “Mammal-toe.” It’s moose knuckle.
Team 3-D:
Claud: There were four of them!
Andy: Well, I don’t think Tammy was a part of that team…
Katie: I don’t think that Tammy wanted to be there.
Tim: I think that song went against her soul.
Katja: Can we talk about camp?
Andy: Well, I don’t think they were being campy.
Katie: I think they were sincere…
Katja: So we had some sincere drag performances.
Claud: If a drag queen walks a catwalk does anyone hear?
Lip Sync for Life:
Tim: It was heartbreaking. I didn’t like Tammy, but I like her now because she was who she was and she didn’t sell out.
Katja: I think she got pushed out.
Claudette: I think we all need to work on our C U N T.
