Then, Jenna Skyy appears behind me in the lot, rolling a giant suitcase, and the evening begins in earnest. At 8:45 p.m., tucked behind the club, the parking lot is full but weirdly quiet, though I can still hear the bustling throng of people on the Strip, a section of Cedar Springs Road in the city’s Oak Lawn neighborhood that’s served as the heart of Dallas’s LGBTQ nightlife scene for more than four decades. It won't be surprising if all four wind up in the Top 4.Standing in the back parking lot of Station 4, a sprawling LGBTQ dance club in Dallas, I realize this is the first time I’ve been here while the sun is still out, despite countless visits starting in my late teens. The list of queens who are the current favorites is Symone, Gottmik, Kandy Muse, and Olivia Lux. And some queens might be getting overtly recognized because they're favorites of RuPaul. The judging during RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 has been unpredictable and strangely off.īe it the queens who end up at the top, the bottom, or who ultimately wins, the results are all over the place. : Lala Ri! Bitch, this look is sickening, girl.It’s something nobody said to you during the ball challenge. Lala Ri! Bitch, this look is sickening, girl. Even Symone's combination of improv and her beaded runway had the elements that could claim the win. Plus, with her improv that blew away the judges, those elements should've landed her the win. Kandy had a jaw-dropping moment with her luxurious headpiece and fur coat. How did Kandy Muse not win this round? Shockingly, her runway outfit didn't snatch the victory.ĭon't get me wrong, Olivia Lux dominated the challenge as the mime, but when you take into account the runway look, her schoolgirl outfit was simply nice and sweet. Those types of decisions nearly landed her in the bottom. If Utica knew she would be stronger as the mime, she should've kept the role. Plus, after Olivia won the round on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 Episode 6, Utica should've dug her heels into the ground and refused to give up the meatier role. : RuPaul could walk up here in cargo shorts and I would still vote you the most confusing thing in.Utica! Bitch, you’re f****** weird! RuPaul could walk up here in cargo shorts and I would still vote you the most confusing thing in the room. Olivia will use her kindness and smile to get whatever she wants. The queens need to watch out for the super nice performers. Kandy was completely right in her confessional Olivia came to slay and she's got her eyes on the prize. She had no idea what to do with the role. Though, Utica's displeasure with playing the slutty mom was obvious right from her first word. The therapist segment of Gottmik/Olivia Lux/Utica was a good time. (We'll get into the confusing judging later on.) It was nice, but it wasn't the monster hit that the judges made it out to be. However, based on the talk show, their comedy seemed "safe" overall. And Symone is a natural star, so her simple moments of puns and innuendos shined bright. Kandy trying a new personality for her character was smart because it helped her out in the long-run.Ĭhoices like this are about appeasing the judges and that move boosted her opinion in their eyes. Kandy Muse! It is so amazing how we represent such different communities here. This pair benefited by not having a weaker member bring them down. Their talk show segment wasn't the most exciting or funniest, but they had smart subtle moments that balanced each other out. Symone and Kandy Muse did a good job in this regard because they knew their characters and how they wanted the momentum to go. The success of this challenge is about planning out the characters and how the story unfolds in the "controlled" moments. The return of The Bossy Rossy show was a great move because it kept the queens on their feet and it forced them to think of comedy first. The theme of improv stayed consistent from the Mini Challenge to the Maxi Challenge.
