So were two weeks into the show and I just got to say, “ohhhh
girl” type casting. I mean is it just me
or did producers find people who look (and act) exactly like people from
previous seasons? For example, Kenya Michaels is a carbon copy of Alexis Mateo. Phi Phi O’Hara is Mariah, is Madam La Queer
is Delta Work… you get the point. Here
is a side by side photo comparison, although it doesn’t really do them
justice.
Now, if you missed the first episode you really need to go
back and check it out. The first three
seasons were pasted together with glue sticks and gum. Set changes were nothing more than a colored
light bulb change and the prizes were things like a 20 dollar wig, and some
lipstick. However this season they
clearly got a financial bump because everything has been re-worked! The work room is fresh out of Project runway,
there are on location shoots and the prizes are in the thousands of dollars.
The first episode was all about meeting the queens, and the
Ru-Pocolypse. Visually it was pretty
cool, but the best part of the episode was listening to Lashauwn Beyond annunciate,
“apocalypse” as “a-poc-o-lock-o”. The
rest of the episode played out with lots of catty fighting, a bunch of, “ohhhhhhh
gurls”, and in the end it came down to Alisa Summers and Jiggly, with Alisa sashaying
away.
This week’s episode was all about the WTF! Wrestling
challenged where once again Ru kinda proved that if you know her or her friends
personally <caugh> Raja <cough>
then you will be favored on the show.
Because this week even though the team of Latrice, Kenya, Lashauwn and
Phi Phi were far and away better than the rest… the team staring famous Cher
impersonator (and friend of Ru) Chad Micheals won. In the end it came down to The Princess and Lashauwn
as the bottom two, with Lashawn being sent home. This was actually quite upsetting to me, because
it means we will no longer get any amazing sound bytes like, “a-poc-o-lock-o”
and “ba-dunk-a-dunk-adunk-lo-lo-lu-lu-ooooo”.
