RuPaul’s Drag Race Recap: Sew Over It
Including these late-stage sewing challenges makes it so the girls’ design abilities can be judged harshly, not just on ability, but on taste.
Eliminating Plasma was a thrilling choice by the show — she was more expendable than we realized, because there was still enough top-level talent for the endgame without her — especially because a queen like her, who had the money and connections to pay for extravagant looks, wouldn’t normally be in danger after eking through the ball. This season, though, has a lot more fat to be trimmed in the cast — the top five is pretty much guaranteed at this point (Onya, Jewels, Suzie, Sam, and Lexi, duh), and there is a huge differential between those five’s facility with Drag Race versus the others’ lack thereof. Jewels and Lexi both score their first top placement for design this week, which stands in contrast to last year, when Nymphia, Dawn, and Q were the queens who everybody knew were the best at this and then they just … continued to be the best.
