- No need to adjust your TV sets,
(Acid Betty laughter)
It's Bob the Drag Queen,
and welcome to the Pit Stop,
the only official recap show for season 12
of RuPaul's Drag Race.
With me today is my season 8 sister,
the smokin' hot Acid Betty!
- Oh, girl Bob, this episode was so hot.
(Bob The Drag Queen laughing)
(upbeat techno music)
- Preheat at 450 degrees for 45 minutes.
- It is so warm in here
(Bob The Drag Queen laughing)
Is it you or is it me?
(Bob The Drag Queen laughing)
Is that bacon?
Does anyone smell that?
- You look gorgeous.
- Thank you, darling.
- Like a beautiful gray-scale lobster.
- Thank you
- With like, stalactites, and, coral reef
growing on your back.
- Well I like to look very dangerous.
I'm glad that I got the black and white memo.
- Yes, read your emails, read your emails.
So we're at episode 4,
- I know.
- Last week , Dahlia Sin went home.
- [Acid Betty] I'm gagged.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] R.I.P, sexy broccoli.
- [Acid Betty] I really thought
she was gonna last a lot longer.
- To be honest, 'cause her looks were so strong,
- Yeah, and she's beautiful.
- It take more than a look.
- Apparently.
- It do take more than a look, honey.
- Apparently
- Okay, so now the queens are all chatting on the couch,
and there's like, tension bubbling up,
especially with Aiden, who's upset 'cause she was like,
I told y'all, I didn't suck, and you didn't believe me.
- It's always when the girls get freaked out
that they start trying to put their finger on
what the judges are looking for.
And some people obviously think it's the look.
Or it's the entertainment,
and I think her problem is no one could say,
oh you're the Comedy Queen or you're the Look Queen.
But she is kind of a look queen.
- Yeah, a little bit 'cause of real strong perspective
of her looks.
- Oh yeah, I love it. So 80s, goth,
it is like she's my soul sister.
- Ru comes in the work room,
and introduces mini challenge this week.
It is the beehive jive.
So they all get together, get in some quick bee drag.
- [Acid Betty] Did you see all those gorgeous outfits
they were in?
- [Bob The Drag Queen] I was like steal that, take it home,
and reuse these bee costumes.
- Just change your face and hair
and put the same outfit on.
That was like a Broadway show.
Half of this cast, during that was like
splits, tumbling around,
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Coochies on the floor.
- [Acid Betty] CrazY, you were screaming the whole time,
"too early, too early girl."
- Save some.
We didn't know Chichi could do back flips
until she was lip syncing for her life.
- Oh no, we didn't know anything,
'cause we were all keeping secrets from each other.
'Cause we didn't want anyone to know anyone's strengths.
- Which one of those stood out to you the most?
- I thought The Rock was pretty epic.
I think she tries so freakin' hard,
that it's infectious.
- What stood out to me was Gigi Goode
doing a back flip, and I was like girl.
I heard she has a thumb on her back so.
- Maya was like what's wrong with her
- Maybe we're not all perfect,
with your extra thumb you freak.
- The thumb on her back (laughing).
- So now, for the Maxi Challenge this week
they're having a ball darling, this is the ball ball.
This is a ball where every look is inspired by balls.
They're going to have to make a look out of balls,
they play a sport with the ball
and they're a basketball wife.
We're gonna see 36 looks on the runway, is this too much?
- That's a lot of spandex.
- I feel like Drag Race is genuinely getting harder.
- Thirty six looks.
- In one episode.
- Here my thought is, imagine trying to pack all that.
No way, this fits in one by itself.
- That's why Gigi doesn't do rhinestones, they're heavy.
Now before we get to the runway, here it is,
it's a sewing challenge.
And we found out that a queen can't sew.
Twelve years of Drag Race, there's 16 seasons
at this point including All Stars, and yet again one queen
Brita cannot sew.
What are you thinking immediately?
- I'm thinking she should've done what you did,
which is bring patterns.
- Yeah, all my outfits if you look close
were made off the exact same patterns.
- But really Bob that's what you did,
was we had a sewing challenge and you literally
just unzipped a part of your luggage
and it was like, boom.
And it had all of these flat patterns
and that is so smart.
- So, Rock does this duck tape body form.
Have you ever seen stuff like this before?
- Yes, it's brilliant, I love it.
It's an old school way of making hats.
If you want to do big over the top hats or rococo hats,
you would take out trash bag, put it on your head
and take a bunch of tape and they have a mold of your head.
And you could take it off and then you just build on to it.
And then that thing just plunges back on to your head.
- Work, like a helmet basically.
- Yeah, and if you're a bold queen, fierce.
- So Aiden is done really quick
and this has pissed off Brita is mad.
Brita is like, this girl's over there sleepin'
I'ma be working all day long,
and this bitch is sleepin' on the couch.
And this is really--
- That sounds like Brita.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] This has really pissed Brita off
and Aiden's like, I'm done,
my style's really plain and simple.
- No, Aiden said that her face and hair.
- True
- Sells the outfit.
- True.
- And I understand this Aiden cause I'm similar
to where it is the face and hair
that all of a sudden sells the garment.
- It's not like you're wearing a simple...
You act like you're in a... (Acid Betty laughing)
Said the porcupine
lobster.
There are 36 looks so we do not have time
to talk about every single one.
Category is lady ballers, girls who ball,
ladies who play ball.
Nicky doll? (Acid Betty grunts)
Hate it.
- [Acid Betty] The hair is too long,
the eye makeup was good.
I don't know, something's off.
It's pretty but something's off.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Aiden Zhane, love it.
- [Acid Betty] I like her (laughing).
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Rock M. Sakura?
- [Acid Betty] Okay stop.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] I'm gonna have to.
- [Acid Betty] We gotta pause.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] This, I was cackling.
- [Acid Betty] I was dying and I wanted to see this.
When I saw the teaser, I wanted to see this section
of the show just to see what this hair was about.
- I was screaming.
I was screaming.
Jaida Essence Hall?
- [Acid Betty] She was beautiful.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Yeah, love it.
Crystal Methyd looks like Jackie Cox and I hate it.
She went bowling, I thought it was a real ball.
I was like bitch is like,
if I go home I'm destroying something.
- [Acid Betty] No I thought it was funny
but I thought it'd be better
if she took the ball to the back
and then threw it at towards the judges.
- Threw it to the judges can you imagine.
Gigi Goode, loved it. - [Acid Betty] It was good.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] I liked it.
- [Acid Betty] It was good.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] So, what was your favorite
out of that category?
- Rock.
- Yeah.
- For the hair.
Okay wait, if it was a runway maybe we should unpack it.
'Cause if it was a performance in a club, rock would win.
For me, 'cause it's a gag. - Oh there would be so much
money thrown at her
people would be screaming, going insane.
In Michelle Visage's defense, for the runway.
- Those boots and everything was bad.
- It was not great.
So in runway I probably would've give it
to actually maybe Aiden.
I just loved the perspective.
All right, so now the next category is Basketball Wives.
Jackie Cox, what decade was your husband playing basketball?
Who is she married to, Larry Bird?
Rock M Sakura? (Acid Betty laughing)
This look was great but her hip pads are weird.
- Okay, literally as she came down
I was in love with her.
I didn't even know who she was.
Which is another fabulous thing about drag.
But when she turned around her hips were screaming at me.
But if those hips were not square
she should've won that one.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Jaida Essence Hall?
- Okay, I was like, I don't know if you're like
a basketball wife as much as a basketball mom.
Like, my son's playing down at Madison Square Garden today.
- [Acid Betty] Retired basketball wife (laughing).
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Yeah, like,
when my husband Charles Barkley is doing ESPN this evening.
- He's selling grills. (Bob The Drag Queen laughing)
- You had a problem with Brita saying Mugler.
It was a take on Mugler.
- [Acid Betty] I am annoyed as hell.
I want her to take all of that Mugler back (laughing).
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Crystal Methyd.
- [Acid Betty] That's another one that was fun
'cause we didn't recognize her.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Yeah, like it.
I like it.
- [Acid Betty] I liked it because I didn't recognize her.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] If I saw her at a club
I'd be lik, oh hey girl.
Jan, this is cute.
- [Acid Betty] It's cute.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] It's cute, it didn't knock me over
but it's cute.
- [Acid Betty] It's cute.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Heidi N Closet.
I liked when she had the sunglasses on
more than when she took 'em off.
- [Acid Betty] Oh yes!
- [Bob The Drag Queen] It elevated.
- [Acid Betty] She looks rich and famous.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] So rich.
- [Acid Betty] Literally.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Widow Von'Du.
I actually liked this silhouette, I thought it was cute.
Her shoe is doubt-y.
- [Acid Betty] The sleeves were gorgeous
but something about this outfit
was drably, was doubt-y, was heavy.
- Basketball aunt.
- Yeah.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Gigi Goode in the snakeskin coat.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Loved it.
- [Acid Betty] It was cute, it was good.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] She is a fashion queen.
- [Acid Betty] She is.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] She really is.
- [Acid Betty] She is.
- Poor Nicky Doll.
Who's your favorite from the Basketball Wives?
- Because I'm including everything
that I've seen from her so far, Rock.
- I'm gonna go with Nicky.
I really loved that ostrich coat.
- [Acid Betty] She was my second.
- And it was high fashion.
Now the last category is balls to the walls extravaganza,
let's look at these looks.
- These are the looks that they made themselves.
- Yes, in the workroom, from scratch, from balls.
- Let's have a ball.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Nicky Doll.
Okay I was not crazy for the look, everyone else was.
It was nice.
- [Acid Betty] It was beautiful.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Everyone was going cray,
I was like, it's cool.
It looks a little bit like a hippie
who lives on a commune but is also into fashion.
Aiden Zhane, is the referee.
She should've listened.
- [Acid Betty] She's missing half her outfit.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Yeah, Rock M Sakura.
Okay, she's wearing everything.
I mean she said she was going to go for way too many balls
and she did not lie.
- [Acid Betty] I can probably see
that she probably wanted to put more balls on this outfit
and ran out of time.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] And space! (Acid Betty laughing)
She ran out of space.
- [Acid Betty] She was like, I really wish
I could've put more balls on this outfit.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Jaida Essence Hall.
I loved this look.
- [Acid Betty] It was gorgeous.
This is I felt like what Monét
was trying to do with the soap bubbles.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] This is the soap bubbles.
Brita, I'm gonna say this,
and maybe she'll listen to me next episode
because the other girls watch this and they do each episode.
I'm actually in LA right now filming these
and then the girls are all actually sitting right there
listening to us critique them.
So listen up ladies, Brita listen, hey Brita,
stop gluing stuff to your monster feet.
Your feet are too big, don't you parade
your head at me bitch.
Crystal Methyd.
Who has changed up her makeup.
- [Acid Betty] Every time.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Every time.
- [Acid Betty] I have a feeling that Michelle
or someone screaming, we need to see versatility,
we just haven't heard that part.
Cause she is screaming, I'm versatile!
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Yeah, Jan, I'm not mad.
I can see where she was going with it,
I like the perspective.
I wish the skirt was just higher.
She actually has a really long torso.
Her legs look this long (Acid Betty laughing).
You know what I mean?
And her torso looks--
- [Acid Betty] Like harem pants.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] And her torso looks
like it goes down to her knees.
- [Acid Betty] I just don't like that her makeup
starts from chin up.
She's white-faced up and then she has all this tanned skin,
I just think that's weird.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] She probably ran out of time
- Yeah I'm cool if it's on purpose
but this doesn't look like it's on purpose.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Heidi N Closet.
I loved everything except the shawl.
Lose the shawl, everything else is great.
- [Acid Betty] And we both gagged
that we didn't know she was bald,
that she has a bald cap on.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Yeah and it took a while
but oh wait, she isn't bald,
she fully had time to do a bald cap.
- And she did fierce spooky ooky make up
and I have to mention it because we both know
that they give these girls about two and a half minutes
to change between looks.
So, the fact that they're changing outfits
and their makeup and bald caps in three minutes
is balls to the wall impressive (applauding).
- Good for you Heidi
Widow Von'Du.
- [Acid Betty] Loved.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Loved it, loved the silhouette,
loved the ponytail, the colors,
loved.
- [Acid Betty] This is her best look till today.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Yeah for sure.
Gigi Goode, I liked this look.
- I don't think there has been
a more elaborate outfit on RuPaul's Drag Race
(Bob The Drag Queen laughing) than this one.
- All right, so who's your favorite
from the balls to the walls organza?
- I liked the bubble look.
- Jaida Essence Hall.
- Jada, but that brown belt.
- Widow Von'Du.
- [Acid Betty] Of Widow's.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] It was great, I loved it.
- I want that.
- I'm a Widow fan, ever since episode one.
- Me too.
- I'm like, she's so good.
Can we pause for a second, the celebrity guest judges,
Leslie Jones
is on RuPaul's Drag Race.
Who live tweets from home.
I also love that she for some reason films,
what in the mom.
- [Acid Betty] Gives a three foot distance.
- Who is filming.
- Put this side of my face.
- She did look good.
- She looks done.
- She did look good.
The critiques have happened, we found out
that the winner of this week is Gigi Goode, do you agree?
- [Acid Betty] Because it was a runway challenge,
and we're judging people by the way they looked
I think it could be Gigi.
She was probably the most put together from shoe.
- The full collection.
- Right, do you know what I mean.
From literal shoe, knees, you know.
And when you consider everything, Rock,
she was one of my top girls the whole way
but that's because I enjoyed what she was selling,
what she was doing but she had missing pieces.
- Yeah, despite the fact
that she was wearing literally everything,
there was still something there missing.
- Something's missing Rock.
- So the bottom two are Rock and Brita
who are now lip syncing to S & M by Rihanna.
What are your thoughts?
- [Acid Betty] Honestly, as I was first watching it
I thought we were gonna have another double elimination
because we had two girls fighting for one space
tripping over an outfit.
Rock was spending the first 30 seconds taking it off.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Somehow Brita exploded
out of her clothes too.
- [Acid Betty] Out of nowhere all of a sudden
Brita was naked.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] Everyone's exploding,
balls everywhere on the floor.
- Just desperation, desperation, desperation
and Brita almost fell for that too
and then she slowly started performing.
- That was a tough elimination,
that was really hard to watch cause she got off
to like, believe in yourself, be kind to yourself
and then she walked off and just started whaling.
- [Acid Betty] I was having a little PTSD
watching that myself.
- Yeah, when Betty got eliminated--
- You!
- I...(laughing)
- She literally when I was eliminated,
- They didn't show this.
- I remember I was very like, okay keep it together
and I turned around and Bob was legitimately
like a waterfall.
It wasn't dripping, it was literal waterfall water
to your knees.
- [Bob The Drag Queen] I crumbled to the floor
and Betty goes, Bob stop.
- [Acid Betty] I was like, stop, it's okay.
- I don't know what I was going through, I was destroyed.
Were you feeling emotional when you went home?
And I was probably not helping.
- No. (laughing)
- I wanna thank the incredible Acid Betty
for joining us here today.
So, be well and love yourself.
Girl that episode was wild.
- That was great.
- Now, you wanna share a car?
- Share a car, you're paying.
- Wow.
- You won a $100,000.
- Four years ago.
- Well you're not spending it on outfits
(both laughing)
