Fair warning: The Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 12 Power Rankings does contain spoilers for the latest episode. If you continue reading and don’t know what happened on this week’s episode, it is your own fault.
Alright, I finally processed what happened Friday and my heart is broken. I had a good cry and listened to “My Heart Will Go On” for an hour on repeat after episode 8. I believe Nancy Kerrigan said it best when she said, “WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.”
This week or I guess last week, hell, time is just a figment of our imagination at this point. The show started with Jan crying. Damn it Jan, it is not about Brita. Come on. Do we believe that for one second? No. Last week she was robbed. Sorry. Not Sorry.
It’s the return of the Mini Challenge. I thought mini challenges were lost about in the universe along with other styles of wigs for Aiden. The queens had to design a box and throw shade. A fun little challenge clearly won by Gigi and Jackie. I don’t remember much from this other than there were some beauty products that would not help me become prettier.
The main challenge for this episode, the queens created and marketed products for the lifestyle brand DROOP. And the runway look for this week is Black Bride also known as Prom Photos of the Goth Era. For the ads, the judges loved some Heidi and Crystal, Gigi was not that goode, Jan brought the energy and should have returned it, Jaida hit her microphone a lot, Jackie is adorable, and Widow’s was there.
Please never allow Bob Harper to be on another episode again. The closest thing you could compare is personality to is a turducken. It’s a thing, but why?
Heidi is this week’s winner! Widow and Jan are in the bottom. Chaka Kahn is still talking about merkins. And Widow and Jan go all out for their performance. Widow stays and Jan Sashays. My heart thou be brokeneth.
