RuPaul’s Drag Race Recap: Joella’s Dynasty


A truly shocking episode serves as a tragic end for one queen and a fascinating character study for another.

The show spent a lot of time in the first episode of the season, and here, detailing Lucky’s home situation, not only to make us feel bad for her, but also to explain how she made a series of incredibly poor decisions this week. Despite being a remarkable artist and an interesting performer (who I’d love to see continue on this competition over some of the people still here, quite honestly), the show is telegraphing that is not a queen who was mentally ready for Drag Race and that she wasn’t able to think straight. About halfway through the episode, the girls walk into the Werk Room for runway day, and it comes out that (off-screen) Lexi realized Hormona used stones that the show did not provide her to embellish her garment, and either just told the producers or cussed her out about it, it’s unclear.
