The makeover challenge gives the subjects what they came for, but the viewers less so.
After a run of two truly fabulous episodes in a mostly fine season, we end on an appropriately middling note. Because, let’s be honest here, this marks the true end of the season. Next week is the RuMix, which means it’s unlikely anybody in the top four goes home . The episode will be filled to the brim with talent, certainly, but’s penultimate episodes are typically staid affairs. The queens will talk with Ru, and the talks won’t be that informative, but they will be sweet.
This is not a particularly interesting challenge with this group of queens. In retrospect, one of my chief complaints with this season is that the top performers all operate within a similar sphere of drag. They’re all going to deliver some type of classic drag glamour, and it will be high level if not inventive. Typically, that goes over well in this challenge. Queens like Trinity the Tuck or Jaida Essence Hall have won the makeover not for inventiveness but for pure polish.
From the moment the episode begins, we’re off to an inauspicious start. During the fallout, Loosey manages to hold herself together and not get mad at Luxx for calling her generic on last week’s runway. It’s just not the payoff I or anyone was hoping for given the level of focus this story line has been given over the past few weeks.
