‘Drag Race’ Summary: Season 13, Episode 2 – [Spoiler] Return to the game

The handbags may have been small on Friday’s delivery of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but the turns were great. And they were plentiful.

After the season 13 premiere that changed last week, TVLine readers ventured for Kahmora Hall, Elliott With 2 Ts or Utica Queen to become the official pork heel of season 13. big catch.

Friday’s kick – off began with the seven queens losing their lip-sync fights – Kahmora, Elliott, Utica, Joey Jay, Rosé, Tanisha Iman and Denali – who voted to send one girl home to themselves save. Joey summed up the situation perfectly: “It’s been fed!”

While most queens expressed dissatisfaction with this curve (“We can not vote! We do not even know each other!”), Rosé had a slightly more meaningful response, acknowledging that the decision would have to be made on the basis of their first impressions of each other. Joey and Utica drew the most votes, forcing Ru to set up an ‘equal voting round’, with each queen voting only for Joey or Utica.

“I only fear the worst,” Utica admitted, though her fears seemed unfounded, as Elliott eventually sent the warehouse. “It was a wonderful 15 minutes with you all,” Elliott told the group on the way out. ‘I was sent home for something in which I did not say anything. It’s hard. I’m 100 percent sad. ”

But then, another twist! Last week’s winners gathered in the study for their first meeting with Mama Ru, only to receive shocking news. The queens would be joined by ‘someone who I don’t think got a fair chance’, Ru told them. “And this is someone I think will fit in well.” Go in … Elliott ?!

Tina Burner was understandably confused (‘I packed the bitch! Why is she back?’), But as Ru explains, her decision was made in the spirit to teach her newest children an important lesson: ‘No matter what here does not happen inside, out there or online, do not let anyone make you feel like a loser. ”

After receiving their orders for this week’s mini-challenge – a runway show with a ‘damn look’ and ‘a vampire nocturnal look that says,’ I’m a whore! ‘”, Get the queens ready to rumble, with tension already flickering between Elliott and Kandy Muse. The drama began when Elliott asked Kandy if she was worried about being a member of a famous drag family – she’s the daughter of Aja and sister of Dahlia Sin – could be a curse that could send her home early. The question felt a bit written (we have to name it as we see it!), But Kandy’s angry reaction was real.

Mini challenge time! Gottmik kicks things off in a tight latex dress decorated to look great on a sunny day (one of our favorite looks of the night!). She completed the look with a tasty pie and explained that she enjoys exposing her breast now that she has had surgery. Next, Kandy shook a red-and-gold flowing look to prove that a big girl can move forward. ‘Unfortunately, the judges were significantly less impressed by her second appearance, which was basically a devil costume with a hole where the tail was supposed to go.

LaLa Ri did a “Southern belle” motif in a simple gown, an experience that was just memorable as she stuck her heel in the dress and almost fell. For her second look, LaLa opted for ‘pleather, not leather’. A bitch can not afford it. But I’m still serve as if it were leather! “Then Olivia Lux switched from a ‘lavender fantasy’ during the day to a glittering, burgundy number for an evening at the opera.”

Symone inspired the fun in a striped pantsuit from the 90s, complete with a surprise cap, followed by an appearance that was part of the goddess of the motherMatrix. (‘The bitch has arrived!’) Tina imagined her Carrie Bradshaw fantasy, before pushing herself into a sexy latex look. (“My boots are up to my p – y!”) And then there was Elliott, who made her day look red and stiff, before he threw us into a ‘gentleman’s club’ after fetish night. ‘

With the double runway behind them, the Queens have embarked on this week’s biggest challenge: a group performance – complete with self-written solo verses – from RuPaul’s “Condragulations”. The rehearsal process went relatively smoothly, but when Gottmik had to find time to practice her part, she explained: “My gender dysphoria has taken over my soul.” She had hoped to discuss her transgender journey with her fellow queens in the right environment, but now she sang about it as part of a large group number. Luckily, later in the episode, she was able to open up to some of her season 13 sisters and receive a lot of love and encouragement. (For the record, Gottmik uses the pronouns ‘his / her’ while in tow, and ‘he / she’ outside the tow.)

On this week’s runway (“Lamé, you stay!”), Gottmik embraced her inner sea dragon, and Kandy gives us an “Austin Powers fembot moment” in a hairy nightgown. a “water lily goddess”, Symone ready to fight anyone in a fashionable boxing match, Tina serving Tin Man authenticity, and Elliott living her ‘rhinestone tit fantasy’.

After announcing Olivia and Symone as the two leading queens, he said train another twist: ‘This week there is no bottom. Only tops … with the exception of the judging panel, of course. “It meant nobody would go home, and that Olivia and Symone would rather sync lips for a $ 5,000 cash tip. And from the moment Dua Lipa’s “Break My Heart” started playing, the battle was on. Condragulations, Symone!
