Last week on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 we met the first half of the dragtestants. Now it’s time to meet the 2nd group in RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 episode 2.
The second group gets to come in to the workroom after the first group has a mini celebration with cupcakes, some kind of pink drink and silly string. Mama Ru has to let them girls have it so they’ll go to bed. Don’t make Mama mad!
And so the next morning, or the next week or whatever kind of illusion we’re trying to foster here…. (wink, wink) the new crop of queens starts arriving.
- Bianca Del Rio is a drag Don Rickles. She gets a lot of screen time, probably because she is funny. And maybe because she’s a friend of Lady Bunny.
- Trinity K Bonet – the K apparently stands for Kardashian and apparently that’s not ok so she’ll just be known by K. She also claims that she’s the closest you’ll get to Beyonce.
- Joslyn Fox is all about the look & showing body. Joslyn will need to come up with something a little more unique than that or she’ll be sashaying away in relatively short order.
- Milk – this group’s club kid. An entire symphony as she puts it. She is closer to ‘kid’ than Vivacious at age 25. And did no one mention the toilet paper on her shoe?
- Magnolia Crawford is the world’s most glamorous trash queen with the sharpest nose on the planet. Milk is wondering who she’s pointing at.
- Courtney Act is looking for America’s Next Top Model. She’s the one that had been on Australian Idol (in drag!). She’ll also give Gia a run for her money in the fish department. Girl’s gonna get served.
- Darienne Lake – won the fan favorite and she’s this season’s big girl. She’s heavy cream to Milk.
Once all seven have assembled Ru lets them in on the ‘secret’ that they’re the 2nd group of girls to arrive.
To answer the question about the first mini-challenge the answer is no. There is no jumping challenge for this group as there has been for the last few seasons. Instead they pose on a bed with the pit crew. What starts as a standard sexy photo shoot devolves into a pillow fight for the messy factor. As usual some queens do well while others don’t know what to do. Sexy queens have the advantage over the funny queens. Courtney does great while Magnolia and Bianca are a little off. I feel bad for the crew that has to clean up the feathers between each shoot.
For some reason Trinity K Bonet wins the first challenge. She was pretty but I thought Courtney did better, even giving a little chicken clucking realness. Meh.
In the post-mini-challenge de-dragging we get a little crush starting between Courtney Act and Milk. Will there be some kai kai this season? Probably not. If there is I haven’t heard any rumors of it, or RuPaul saying 2 girls fell in love like last season. Tease! Total tease! Not true Ru!
Their mini-challenge to set up the mainstage look is different party packages as re-gifted by Trinity. Trinity of course keeps the Princess party for herself. While one might think that’s an easy box to pick, she mysteriously decides that she’s going to mix Kate Middleton and Princess Leia. Rly? With a big box of pink stuff?
Joslyn gets the quinceanera. Joslyn HAS to be putting on the dumb, right? She thinks the numbers in her box are house numbers. Girl, really? That’s a joke, right? Please tell me she’s not that dumb. Or just send her home today, that’d be fine with me too.
This week’s whiner is Magnolia Crawford with the hoe-down box which means she’ll probably win. While whining she tells Ru that her style is taking something ugly & making it pretty. So, girl, do that.
And Milk decides to go with a beard. Aaahhh…… huh? They’re not showing a lot of Milk ahead of time so it may be pretty fabulous. Risky, but fabulous. She calls it hermaphrodite realness.
There’s a lot going on on this runway show, some of which is courtesy of this week’s guest judge Khloe Kardashian. Of course the girls are excited that she’s on the panel. I actually like her & I’m not a Kardashian fan. She gives some decent feedback and is even slightly candid. I’m also a fan of her generous use of the word p#ssy.
There are some basic outfit lowlights – Darienne didn’t do much beyond a green top and skirt. Magnolia went with a simple cow dress. Snoooze. And then she got super defensive and angry with the judges. Don’t complain about your box, girl! I don’t think she’ll be meeting April Carrión to learn how to take a challenge that isn’t easy and turn it into something great.
On the other end of bad is Joslyn Fox and all the colors of the rainbow that threw up all over her. She out-Jade Jolies Jade Jolie, and that girl could add an accessory and a color. Or twenty.
This week’s winner is Bianca Del Rio and her Rolodex of Hate. She’s an example of many colors that are actually working together to create an outfit. Also safe are Trinity, Milk, Courtney Act and Joslyn Fox.
Up for elimin
ation are Magnolia Crawford and Darienne Lake. Darienne is owning the stage while Magnolia is stuck in one spot for some weird reason. So of course Darienne Lake, shantay you stay.
As a final parting words Magnolia lets us know that any publicity is good publicity. As Ru would say, well all right….
Before we go, we’re treated to a little view of the 2 groups finally meeting each other. Ooh, so tense! Until next week, when I imagine we’ll hear some squealing & see some hugging. But that’s for next week.
In the meantime, what did you think of this week’s group of girls? Sound off below!
