The remaining All Stars bring their secret talents to the main stage while tensions rise in the werk room. Actress Devery Jacobs is a guest judge…
After last week’s All Stars Snatch Game, we officially said goodbye to Cynthia Lee Fontaine following her disappointing Dracula impersonation. Unsurprisingly, Ginger Minj was at the top of the crop with her impression of country music superstar Reba, and Jorgeous’s Pitbull, with Mistress joining Cynthia in the bottom. This week the queens bring their talents to the runway and tensions between Mistress and the rest of the girls get higher in the werk room. Let’s get into it.
This week’s episode begins in the werk room following Cyntyhia’s elimination. In confessionals, Bosco says the elimination feels somber. Some of the queens congratulate Mistress on her lip sync win, which she responds to with short and cold phrases, taking some of the other queens by surprise. In her confessionals, Mistress doesn’t think she deserves to be in the bottom. Daya congratulates Ginger on her record-breaking win, with the other queens joining in before Mistress sucks the energy out of the room. The pressure is high but some of the other queens refuse to buckle.
It’s a new day in the werk room and it’s their last chance to impress the judges before the finale next week. Around the table, Mistress thanks everyone for their kind words and says she’s grateful to be there. Mistress said she stayed quiet because she didn’t want to say something she’d regret later. Ginger asks Aja how she’s feeling after the rough week she had and Mistress is back on her game, directly laughing into Aja’s ear as she’s talking. The girls get into a mini fight which makes the rest of the queens uncomfortable, and they are saved when Ru enters the room.
For this week’s mini challenge THE LIBRARY IS OPEN. Reading is fundamental and Daya kicks the group off and hopes to lighten the mood in the room. Everybody does a great job, but it’s Bosco who takes the mini challenge win. Ru tells the queens that for the final maxi challenge, they’re hosting a talent invitational. Understandably, Irene is nervous after her glass of water tutorial that flopped in her season. Ginger has been safe the last two talent shows she’s done, and she wants to do better this time around. Daya also went home during her talent show challenge, and she wants to prove she can go big. Lydia checks in with Mistress and Aja, and the two of them claim it’s just how they are. Aja knows expectations for her are high after her box jump in her last talent show went viral. Lydia was rated low in her season’s talent show, so she’s keeping her cards close to her chest. Out on the main stage the queens go out in pairs to rehearse, and it’s no surprise there are a lot of “original tracks”.
It’s elimination day, and as the queens prepare to share their talents with the world, they talk about the expectations they have for themselves to make it to the finale. The conversation turns political with Bosco and Aja taking the lead talking about the American government and their war against the LGBTQ+ community, especially trans people.
Out on the main stage, Ru introduces this week’s panel of judges which includes Michelle, Law Roach, and this week’s extra special guest judge, actress Devery Jacobs. The talent invitational kicks off with Aja’s machete-wielding performance of an original song. There’s a lot going on with her performance, which seems to impress the judges and queens. Bosco is up next with a burlesque about having beauty and talents, and her stunts during the performance pleases everyone. Daya’s poppy punk performance has a lot of energy and ends with her stapling a cheque to her butt. Ginger’s song is all about her journey to the top and it gets a lot of laughs.
Up next is Irene with a song about how she does have talent despite her last talent show performance and it’s good. Jorgeous’s performance is dance-heavy which she absolutely devours. Lydia takes a slightly different approach with her performance as an egg falling off a wall and into a frying pan, which has Ru laughing and some of the other queens confused. Finally, Mistress’s spoken word live infomercial on a made-up weight loss injectable RuZempic definitely stands out for being different. After the talent invitational, the category on the runway is “Foiled Again” and the queens strut in their best silver looks.
Critiques start with Aja. Devery liked her performance while Michelle thought the dress could have fit her better, and Law feels like he’s seen her runway before. Michelle loved Bosco’s comedy burlesque, and Law complimented her gown on the runway. Michelle loved Daya’s performance and duct tape gown which all of the judges echo. Michelle likes that Ginger stayed true to her traditional roots with her musical theater performance and Law calls it his favourite performance of the night, but has a few notes for her outfit. Michelle tells Irene her performance wasn’t innovative, but it was fun and well done. Ru loves her winged outfits. Law tells Jorgeous there are too many stars on her outfit but the face is MUGGY. All of the judges give high praise to her performance. Michelle liked the concept of Lydia’s performance but says it wasn’t executed as well as it could have been, but Law and the other judges love her runway look. Finally, Michelle tells Mistress that she wished there was more of a story with her performance, and Law says her look was “too much”, but she gets a round of applause for her heels, which aren’t kitten height.
Following deliberations, Ru announces that Aja, Daya, and Irene are all safe and headed to the finale. Bosco, Ginger, and Jorgeous are the top three queens of the week, with Bosco taking the top spot and the cash tip. All three queens are heading to the finale. This leaves Lydia and Mistress in the bottom for the week. The bottom two queens lip sync for a spot in the finale to Guess by Charli XCX ft. Billie Eilish. Both queens want that last spot in the finale and their energy is high. In the end Ru decides that the last queen heading to the finale is Lydia. Mistress still has a chance to enter the lip sync with the wild card lottery. As the queens leave the stage the Wild Card Lottery begins. Angeria Paris VanMichaels takes the stage. Ru explains Michelle, Ross, and Ts were the only judges to judge all three brackets, so they are the only judges qualified to put their wildcard nominations in envelopes. Angeria reveals that Ross has chosen Mistress, Ts has chosen Kerri Colby, and Michelle has also chosen Kerri Colby. The pit crew drops the balls of the official nominees into a drum and spins it. The ball Bruno has picked from the drum is…
Next week on All Stars: It’s the grand finale! The remaining All Stars and one wild card queen will lip sync for the crown, and Rate-A-Queen makes a comeback.
