![]() “Neither of us have ever topped anything before!” -Ginger aspiring to new heights. “John Waters has a filthy, twisted, delinquent sense of humor - he’s my hero.” -Katya again, with a little hero worship. I’ve never met anyone who’s able to shove their head so far up their own ass without smudging their eyeliner.” -Katya with the read. “Miss Fame, you’re such a talented makeup artist. In a season full of characters, it’s just never going to be enough to be a pretty face. ![]() In the end, Fame goes home, and with it, all of her wasted potential. ![]() Throughout the song, “Really Don’t Care” by guest judge Demi Lovato, I couldn’t help but marvel at how dynamic Lovato’s vocal work is, not because it is, particularly, but because the queens lip-syncing to it were just that bad. As amazing as Ginger was in last week’s lip-sync, Fame and Pearl were both the opposite, as though instead of drawing inspiration from the work of John Waters or Divine, they’d both determined to model their performance after Flat Stanley. Surprising no one after their awful performances in the video short “Poo” and off-the-mark “pretty” ugly dresses, Pearl and Fame, after sniping at each other all episode long, end up facing off as they lip-sync for their lives. However, the brilliant part of all the bitterness being flung around the workroom is that, combined with a quippy judge’s panel for the ages, it makes for some fantastic pull quotes, which means that competition for quote of the week will be particularly fierce. Pearl and Fame’s pick-a-little, talk-a-little isn’t helped by the fact that they end up stranded on a team together (with wayward Violet) because no one else wanted to work with them. Tensions are already heightened with the return of previously eliminated Trixie, but the strain escalates, and Pearl and Fame can’t stop picking at each other, a rivalry made all the more inane and entertaining because they’re basically the same person. Which is just another way of saying that an already shady crop of queens gets even shadier as the episode progresses. The shade, as far as any of that goes, isn’t particularly inspired (though the jab at Ginger asking if she ever managed to save Carol Anne from the poltergeist was pretty amazing), but where things get really interesting is when it became evident that, though the challenge ends with a Trixie Mattel victory, the library never really closes. The competitor with the quickest mind and sharpest tongue wins, and of course, being funny helps. Hands down, the best mini-challenge of any season encompasses the opening of the library, allowing each queen the opportunity to read her competition for laughs.
