On the runway, Ru was joined by Michelle, Graham Norton and this week’s guest judge Russell Tovey. As always, the heart to hearts the queens have during this time help to build a complex picture of how challenging, yet powerful their career can be. All of them described instances where they’ve been groped and otherwise inappropriately touched without consent while in drag and Ella explained how the scariest part of being a drag queen is the journey from their home to the venue where they’re in drag and exposed to people on the street who may be unaccepting of them. Krystal was less capable of staying out of her head once she forgot her lines, but Michelle was patient and encouraging with her.Īfter filming, the queens returned to the Werk Room to prepare for the runway presentation and discussed their experiences with harassment as drag queens. Ella’s first scene was filmed on a green screen off set away from the other girls which set her off her bearings and needing to get out of her head before spiraling. Kitty had a particularly tough time with the phrase “space nut milk,” transposing some of the words in a more vulgar way than was in the script, and Vanity needed extra time finding the best way to emote in different ways without her body as a visual asset. Later, while filming on set with Michelle, all four of the girls required more direction than they imagined they would. On the other side of the room, Ella and Kitty seemed much more comfortable with their roles and were excited to take on the challenge. Krystal was concerned with being given a role that was the most expected for her, but also had to find her way around her dyslexia with regard to learning and remembering her lines. Vanity’s Baby Yolo was a role that would require her to perform from a box, challenging her to act only with her head. Once the roles were set, the queens split up to learn their lines and conceptualize how they’d channel their space-walking characters. After the auditions, Kitty chose Braberella for herself, gave Krystal Versace She3PHoe (the one role Krystal didn’t want), Ella Vaday Daft Shader, and Vanity Baby Yolo. To decide the roles, Kitty made it clear that she’d be strategic instead of nice–she asked each of them who they’d prefer to portray, but eventually asked the other three to audition for the roles they want instead. When Ru arrived in the Werk Room the next morning it was to inform the girls that for their next maxi challenge they’d be overacting in the sci-fi spoof film, “Bra Wars: The Fempire Claps Back.” As the winner of the previous challenge, Kitty would get to assign roles from the options of Braberella, She3PHoe, Daft Shader and Baby Yolo. The consensus was that Vanity, already in the bottom three times, has the most to prove, but Vanity was certain that what she’s shown as a performer makes her just as deserving of the others as cracking the top three. With the badge and pageant sash, Kitty was so sure she was on the upward trajectory and wanting to know who among the others everyone thought was most vulnerable of going home next. Read below for our recap of episode 8 to find out who among them are queens of the universe and if RuPaul Charles sends any of them into deep space in “Bra Wars”:Īfter Scarlett’s elimination, Kitty was momentarily sad to see her bestie go home, but much more focused on the pride of finally winning a challenge. On Thursday’s eighth episode, the top four are directed by Michelle Visage in a space adventure-themed overacting challenge.
