The old school met the new school in last night's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, when the remaining queens transformed five "silver daddies" into fierce drag mothers. Guest judges Debbie Reynolds, Cloris Leachman and NYX Cosmetics founder Toni Ko watched in awe as the duos worked the runway and lip-synched together to RuPaul's "Main Event".
Unfortunately, only four of the girls could move on in the competition, and a fan favorite took the plunge this week. Who could it be? Click through to watch and find out!

———————————————————————————
1. RAVEN (LW – 3): I'm not sure when I started rooting for Raven, but I'd estimate that it was between the moment Morgan McMichaels left the show and the point when Tatianna became sort of annoying. Even though her drag mother looked like a hot mess during the lip-synch of "Main Event", her performance was so spectacular that you wouldn't have even noticed. It was also touching to witness her connection with this older gentleman. Too bad she pissed all over those emotional moments by talking shit about him on Untucked…
2. TYRA SANCHEZ (LW – 4): The choreography these two put together was utterly fabulous! It's a shame that Tyra had nothing to do with it. With the exception of Pandora and her drag mother, I think these two looked the best together. And another plus, via Tyra's Twitter page–"Did u all notice that I didn't mention Beyoncé name at all in this episode???" Good for her! Now if only she hadn't lied about borrowing Pandora's wig, then we might have actually found her charming this time around.
3. JUJUBEE (LW – 1): We can't blame Jujubee for being in the bottom two, but we can blame her for that wretched wig on her drag mother's head. After overdoing it in their lip-synch together, she made that energy work as she lip-synched for her life. Could she surprise us and win it all? We're hoping for at least two more weeks of her presence…
4. TATIANNA (LW – 5): I don't dislike Tatianna. I'm going to keep repeating this to myself until I believe it's true. With each episode that passes, I can't help but notice that her critics within the competition are absolutely right about her. She kind of is an airhead. What self-respecting gay man has never heard of Oscar Wilde? And did the judges really rave about her cheap-looking dresses after consistently picking apart Pandora's fashion sense? While it's true that I don't dislike Tatianna, I still don't understand why she's still in the running.
GONE… PANDORA BOXX (LW – 2): Though I wasn't prepared to see Pandora go home, there was a bit of comfort in RuPaul's parting words–"You showed your talents and opened your box for the world to see." And while we're still talking boxes, can we address how amazing it was that she named her drag mother Litter Boxx? I'm seriously going to miss this bitch!
WHY RuPaul?! WHY?!
This is ether going to be BIG HIT, or “The Show you love to Hate!”
I watched it longer than I though I would..!
Problem : Keeping itinteresting after several shows!
Frankly, I was PISSED. If Tyra can survive after bringing her “drag mom” down the runway looking like she shoved her head in a NYX cosmetics bag and rubbed it around, then I want to know who she’s been taking it up the ass from?
Somebody please snatch this cunt’s wig off her head and send the bitch home.
If Tatianna were as bright as her big ass teeth, she would really be something, other than a bag of hair.
Tatianna will be a transexual before she’s 25.
Tyra’s #2, why? Her mother looked like a hot mess.
I’m over Raven and Tyra, and Juju really should have been sent home over Pandora. I’m guessing Ru does play favorites like those who are ‘pretty’ (Tatianna/Rebecca Glasscock) or those who resemble himself (Tyra/Bebe Zahara Benet).
I felt for Pandora when she was told to sashay away, the disappointment on her face was heartbreaking.
I also agree with the big FUCK YOU she gave to the judges, they critiqued her way too harshly while Tyras mothers make-up looks fucking hideous and all she got was a little slap on the wrist.
Pandora looked her best in this episode too, quirky and sexy all rolled up into one. Also, Tatianna, Jujubee and Morgan are the only queens so far that have impressed me with their lip-syncing skills, Pandora kind of let me down. I would have thought she’d be better than what we were shown.
Anything with Rupaul N the tittle is down right DISGUSTING and will never watch !!!
Oh and another thing, Pandora should have won that challenge and Tyra should have been sent home.
I’m sick of all the Tatianna hate but it’s to be expected since everyone thinks she’s just ‘a pretty face’. Guess looks really do take you far, look at Tyra. Her outfit was fucking gross and her momma’s make up was the definition of tragic. Can’t wait to see that bitch sashay away.
Go Tatianna, keep serving your fish girl!
Yeah I’m with Shamanbear now, I’m PISSED.
I just watched it and can’t believe Tyra and Tati (love her but her fashion this episode better then Pandora’s? Please.) got praised for their shiteous outfits and Pandora who looked the best out there gets sent home.
I didn’t think I’d be this worried over anyone but Tatianna leaving the showbut Pandora was well and truly robbed.
Wish I lived in the States, I’d definitely go and watch a few of her shows.
Ok I will give you that Jujubee out lipsynched Pandora but really Pandora did not belong in the bottom two. I’m pretty sure the challenge was to makeover their Drag mother and yet somehow Pandora was punished for making her Drag mom look good.
Once Jujubee leaves there is no one on the show I am interested in. I think if it were up to me I would make Meryl America’s next Drag Superstar. (Which seemingly only gets you ad time on Logo)
Boys, boys, boys. Told you a thousand times that the Ru-Bitch has already chosen nasty Tyra as his princess. That jackass had the nerve to criticize Pandora for training his momma so well that she showed her up yet the other drags did such a poor job it was comic. Made no sense whatsoever. Ru-Bitch has had it out for Pandora from day one.
Distasteful.
Raven’s obsessed with Tatianna, I find it hilarious.
so far i have to agree with the way the show is panning out. pandora is so bla. yeah she would be a fun drag queen to run into at the clubs. very comfortable and approachable – but she does not have that amazing drag queen element. tatianna is just amazingly pretty but meh, there is no other quality other than that. i think it is more about the entire transformation process. jujubee and raven are the two drag queens that actually transform into drag queens. they are not just gay guys in wigs – they actually are queens. tyra is not going to win as she is just a gay guy in a wig. yeah raven is very petty and bitchy – but she is going to win. she just completely transforms when she goes into drag. one is supposed to be able to completely separate the gay guy from the drag queen and the only two in my opinion that pull that off are jujubee and raven.
Pandora though doesn’t have the “IT” factor that makes her stand out like the other girls. She is amazing and hilarious but sadly not the “IT” to make her go all the way. I knew she wasn’t going to win I was saying since I started noticing she would blend in with the crowd.
JuJubee is saved again and I am sooo happy about that!!! To me she’s an amazing Drag superstar. She’s approachable, she’s funny, she’s gorgeous, she commands attention from the cameras. That to me is a shoe in for a superstar.
Raven is so fucking annoying and ugly!!! She should NOT have won! Biggest transformation, my ass! All she did was shave the fucking guy!!! What guy doesn’t fucking shave their beard?!?!?! UGH!!! She’s a BITCH, shes NOT approachable, she’s ugly! And no it’s not hate…to me she looks like Cher on Crack. And as a boy? Ugh her nasty oily skin. Gross. She does command attention from the cameras but lets be real it’s only BECAUSE she’s a bitch. And out of all the girls left who would you feel more comfortable admiring and approaching? A complete bitch who is annoyed by EVERYTHING or someone who would be grateful you came up to them to show you were a fan?
Tyra…I’m just over Tyra. She doesn’t wow me anymore. Her wig was a mess that afro looked DRY as fuck. And her drag mother looked like Amy Winehouse when she decided to dye her hair blonde. As a drag”mother” you can’t give her YOUR SAME EXACT look, you can have similarities but hello…shes your “mother”…she can’t be wearing tight ass clothes and tons of colors on her eyes, cuz she will look like a clown. If she wins like some people claim I will be so tight.
The gorgeous Tatianna :). I think she did a good job this week. I wouldn’t say great for ONE reason…the mothers make up looked sloppy in some parts. But other than that she did good. Her mom had a LIMP and she was able to transform her mother and make her look fierce. I actually liked the dresses…She used leopard print(which is in) and made it look sexy and not like those nasty ghotti style leopard print clothes. Pandora’s style is REALLY cheap. What she wears COULD be cute but the material…the colors…it’s not fashionable AT ALL. Nothing you will see in any store. I def. don’t think Tati deserves to be number 4 on this list. Not 1 either but not 4.
And also…only because you don’t know Oscar Wilde, doesn’t mean you are not a respected gay man. That’s just adding MORE stereotypes…or just digging up reasons TO hate Tatianna.
Here are my rankings from first to last:
Jujubee- I was a little hesitant about her in the beginning, but she had me rolling on the floor laughing this episode. She is a star!!!
Raven-Even though Raven is a bitch, you have to admit that she is a bitch with talent.
Tyra- Only cuz she is better than Tatianna.
Tatianna- I still cannot get over that outfit from last week, or for that matter, ANY of her outfits. I was obsessed with her beauty in the first half of the competition; however, now I am so done with this talentless bitch.
(side note- if sonique would not have been so cold toward everyone, she would still be here)
My rankings:
Tatianna – Love that bitch, I know she’s not going to win but I’d die a happy gay if it happened, especially after all the doramarama with Raven.
Fortunately, RuPaul’s looking for someone who can represent the drag world now and that person would be the next one I’m rooting for.
Jujubee – Bitch is fierce, she was pretty meh during the first half of the competition but she’s definitely come into her own around the time Morgan got eliminated.
Raven – Great clothes, not so pretty appearance and an even uglier attitude. I wouldn’t be upset if she won, she just wouldn’t be my ‘ideal’ winner or someone I see representing the drag world positively.
Tyra – Ugh, don’t get me started on her Beyonce obsession. Omg you didn’t mention beyonce once in this episode, maybe you can invent a time machine and go back into the past and make sure you don’t say it for the first seven episodes? Gross.
Her winning would be a disgrace to the drag world. It don’t matter how much of a lazy bitch you are or if you sleep while the rest of you teammates do their work so long as you’re pretty and have great style.
Fail.
At this point in time I wouldn’t mind if anyone but Tyra wins this show. Her work ethic (from what we’ve been shown) is horrible but I’m going to blame the editing for that. She let Tatianna borrow her horizontal striped dress and I thought it was fucking amazing. I don’t get why people hated it, I thought the Morticia Adams look was really fierce.
Good grief ladies! Let’s remember ourselves. It’s just a show and when it’s over, we will never see any of these trick bitches again! And for the record, if Raven does win, that hateful-janis-from-the muppets-looking cunt, i will be moving to Canada with Rush Limbaugh. My cat wouldn’t cover that tacky bitch up in kitty litter, just leave that mess on the floor for me to clean up. I’m just saying!
^ I love this show hayson. I’m a little jealous of a friend of mine who’s more obsessed about this show then I am though.
Though I do love going over to his house and discussing the show, it’s our Tuesday night ritual.
Boo no episode this week!
