RuPaul’s Drag Race Recap: They Funked it Up
A slight midway-point episode makes up for its lack of stakes with its (mostly unintentional) comedy.
These days, Drag Race can sometimes fall into the trap of taking itself too seriously, partially due to the queens understanding what being on TV can do for their careers; the competition may be arbitrary, but the results are legitimately important to the lives of the contestants. And now I must end this recap with a confession: Drag Race chose not to include the lip sync in this week’s advance screener, so I unfortunately cannot comment on the specifics of Sapphira’s presumably deserved win. They did, however, tell me song, to which I say: There are a multitude of interesting/iconic pop performers who have never warranted a lip sync on this show (Marina and the Diamonds, Kacey Musgraves, Ciara, Caroline Polachek, Brandy, Björk, Azealia Banks, SZA, most musical theater people, etc.).
