Hi ugly it's me [ __ ] and welcome back to Hot or Rot! And today we'll be reviewing episode
6 of RuPaul's Drag Race season 14. Our queens were challenged to construct an outfit from
unconventional garbage found in a box … category is Glamazon Prime! … Whatever the hell that means.
We also had our first fiery Untucked fight between Jasmine and Maddy this episode, which, we'll be
discussing a bit at the end of today's video. We'll also be taking a look at some exciting
news related to Bosco and taking a look at how the queens respond to this win
on Twitter as we rank their looks from Rottest Rot to Hottest Hots.

Now, let's bust it open in this trailer park! First up, Maddy Morphosis. So we
go into this episode with the knowledge that Maddy bottomed in the last design challenge,
and she looks a little scared going into this one. And as Ru is going around the workroom in
this episode taking a look at what the queens have been working on thus far, we hear Ru trying to pep
Maddy up a bit and Ru’s like “you're in drag man!” And then Ru asks Maddy “is your [_] on
fire?” And Maddy in the confessional is just like “is my [ __ ] on fire?” Like what does that mean,
bro? Which yeah, is kind of a strange phrase that Ru says but Ru says it all the time,
so I’m surprised that Maddy wasn't familiar with it? Or maybe she was just playing unfamiliar with
it for TV … I don't know. But they fist bump, Ru leaves, and Maddy hits the runway in this:
Let's start with the positives here. Maddy was really feeling her fantasy on the runway
tonight – that is to say I think she kind of did take the advice of Ru a little bit, at least,
because she had a lot of energy on this runway, whereas several of her prior ones were,
kind of muted, but concerning the actual garment that she created and look that she was serving,
I was a little concerned. She was trying to explain to the judges that she was serving like
midwestern girl takes her man to the ball or something? But I was getting sad clown from the
20s meets grandma's drunken sewing disaster …? Had she kept this a lot simpler and maybe just
constructed a little tube dress out of the quilted pieces, it maybe could have been a lot more
effective …? But you look at it as she's on the runway and realized that she just couldn't stop
adding bits and pieces and ideas to it, including a blow up man, which added nothing to the look. I
wanted Maddy more-from-this … actually no. I wanted a lot less of it. This look is a Rot.
Next up, DeJa Skye. The unconventional materials DeJa used to construct this look were bed sheets
and a tablecloth. And that is exactly what the look is giving … bed sheets and a tablecloth. But
does the carpet match the bedsheets? I just look at this and wonder: why is every stylistic choice
that she makes centered around as much fabric as possible? I feel similarly about this look as I
did DeJa's last week – it's just like it's okay, but it is just so much more of the same from her
every. single. week. And this was a design challenge with unconventional materials, yet
she again, chose to drape herself in endless yards of fabric. Plus I do feel the grecian
womana thing is a little overplayed, and she didn't really do anything to modernize or
“Glamazon” the look. Plus Michelle was right, the little gold doily things did nothing to
add to this look. This look was not the hero DeJa needed in this episode, it was a Rot.
Next up, Jasmine Kennedie. The unconventional materials in her box were bed canopies,
fringe tapestries, cookie cutters, yarn, and everything else I guess? She says that she's
giving Samantha from Sex and the City, but I'm getting more like celibate at the resort … it's
just a tad dated and uninspired for me. She is at least consistent style-wise though,
it is reminiscent of what she did for that first look, the resort wear in the first ball,
which if you remember, for me, was saved by the little campy red lobster claws that she pulled
out at the end of the runway, but this look had no such redeeming quality for me. And overall,
I think she did try to do a little too much with not quite enough ideas … this look is a Rot.
Next up, she owns 51% of this dog collar company! It's Bosco. So in drag news, Bosco did share with
everyone on Twitter, an announcement about her identity. She tweeted “I can't really think of
a better time to tell y'all so here it goes: I'm straight too. After filming wrapped this summer,
I began focusing on figuring out what medical transitioning would look like for me. I started
HRT after getting back from Drag Race. I'm trans, my pronouns out of drag are she/they. I'm
the happiest I've ever been. Love, Bosco and her AAA sized [_]. And to Bosco, if you're watching,
condragulations, I love of course seeing people live in their truth.I think it's just so great
that Drag Race has provided a platform for so many people under the LGBTQ+ umbrella to live
authentically. So y'all go make sure you send her some love on the social media platforms.
Now onto the runway, she says she's giving anime supervillain meets Billy Idol, who,
for my younger audience watching, is different from Billie Eilish. The materials used here were
plastic balls, parking cones, and camping stakes. And the pants she says were made out of painting
tarp. Firstly concerning this look, I love the pants. It's hard to do pants and drag in general,
and she did them well, especially for being made out of tarp. And I love the bra piece, made out of
I think that was the plastic balls, is almost kind of evoking that like Schiaparelli chest piece that
Kim Kardashian wore back in like 2020 or something a couple years ago? Which did kind of make me wish
that she had completed the bodice with those plastic pieces all the way down, instead she's
got on like a giant dog collar and a transitional piece between the breast piece and the pants,
which looks a little strange, but maybe was necessary for the construction of the outfit? Not
totally sure. I felt like she was just so close to really nailing this, but felt a little bit short
in the end, but because the pants are so great, I'm going to leave this look at a Warming Up.
Next up, FF Kerri Colby the FF stands for fins and fringe … what'd you think it stood for? I've seen
a bit of discussion about this look online, and it doesn't seem that many people liked it … and
I will say at first, I didn't either. But the more time I spent with it, I realized how intricately
crafted it was? And there are many things about this look that I love. For example,
the layered plastic bra piece that kind of looks like shells? The blue beading on the
corset on the side that doesn't have the rope, and the overall silhouette of it is, I think,
really cool and fashion forward. The wig I think though was a little uninspired for how interesting
the outfit was. Like maybe doing that blue wig and like almost an Ursula updo would have been
a little more interesting. However what really threw this look off for me was all of the rope
fringe … it was really cool on its own, but the way it was placed onto all of that plastic
and beading and corsetry and intricately done silhouette pieces … it just kind of gave off
this effect that it was like barnacles? And you lost all of the texture and detail of the rope
in those stage lights. Like I'm convinced that had she just mirrored the beating that she did
on that one side to the other, and left the rope completely off, this could have been the best look
of the night. As is though, I think overall what she was serving was Glamazon-y enough to really
land her in the middle of the pack, which made sense for me tonight. this look was a Warming Up.
Next up, Daya-lusional! *gay snickering* Oh … don't come for me.
The materials that Daya Betty used to create this look were tablecloths, bed skirts,
and some plastic pieces I believe. She also used her little sock puppet: diarrhea as the
inspiration for the overall theme and feel of the look. Hence, the you know, Raggedy Anne Doll, but
make it Easter fantasy she's serving. But if y'all really want a hit of tea, I thought this look
kind of just looked like a re-skinned version of Crystal’s buttons and bows runway, which brings me
to my next point. In the work room, Daya actually asked Ru for some critique, and she heard exactly
what she didn't want to hear: that they don't want to see Daya looking so much like Crystal Methyd,
her drag family sister. Her response to that is interesting, and you can definitely see,
it maybe is a trigger for her, something she hears a lot and doesn't like hearing, which is
understandable. She goes on to say that she feels her drag is less whimsical and darker. And look,
I'm not here to debate the nitty gritty of the differences of these two queens’ drag,
but I do want to point out that she basically committed cardinal sin #1 of RuPaul's Drag Race:
not listening to RuPaul! I was flabbergasted to see her talking about how she was surprised that
she wasn't in the top, considering Ru told her to stand out and do something different from Crystal.
Yet she self-admittedly took the more whimsical approach to her look! Which again, would be more
like Crystal as she says. To her credit though, I want to point out the baby doll dress is well
made, I think the fit is great, and it is a very fun cartoon character that she's playing
up on the runway. And because I enjoy the look and performance, I am going to give this look a Hot.
But as cute as that little dolly was, she did get kinda nasty in the confessionals and then
Untucked, which were feelings that she stuck to and defended on Twitter as the episode was airing.
“I came into the competition with a singular goal in mind to prove myself and succeed in
the craft I love. As did ALL my sisters. I won't apologize for working hard and being
honest with my emotions in the moment. I'm a human being, not a stepford wife.”
And honestly, I'm glad she stuck to her guns, because it's really refreshing,
I think, to see somebody just be raw and real and have those shitty moments on
reality TV … it's the drama that we want. Thank you.
Next up, looking good and feeling Jorgeous! In my eyes, this episode was all about Jorgeous and her
storyline arc. We did see her serve maybe the best lip sync of the competition up until that
point last episode, and Ru was already in love with Jorgeous, but fell head over heels for her
in that moment. In fact, in this episode we see Ru telling Jorgeous that she kind of wants to
see her in the bottom again so she can see her lip sync. And hey I wouldn't mind that either,
it was a great lip sync. But we do continue to hear them harp on about how Jorgeous is
born to do drag and yadda yadda yadda, which is great, and I love that Ru picks favorites, but,
I don't love when picking favorites turns into judging insanity? Which we'll get to
in a few minutes after the rankings. So the outfit that Jorgeous ended up walking
the runway end was created from a curtain, a pillowcase, cookie cutters, obviously,
and pieces of a kiddie pool for the panty. Now for a design challenge, I think this look is perfectly
acceptable. A very safe look, and it's great for her drag character specifically, as she says, it
is very Shakira meets J-Lo, and that is perfectly on brand for her. Plus Jorgeous does what Jorgeous
does best, and perform the house down boots on the runway walk, which basically is what Ru asked her
to do in the work room. She said I want to see you dance and she said okay I'm going to give
you a dance! But how many times have we heard the judges tell contestants not to just glue
random things to a bodysuit in these challenges? I feel like anyone else would have been read for
filth for literally just going cookie cutters to a body suit … am I wrong?! I don't know, maybe I'm
missing something? I mean I am dressed as Joe Dirt in drag, so my taste is admittedly questionable,
but here we are. All that said, the look is good, cohesive, and maybe arguably more Glamazon than
anyone else's look? Which is why she got the win. I don't know, but I do think this look is Hot.
Next up, she owns 99% of his competition! It's Angeria Paris, the only woman and not the one,
VanMicheals. She also used curtains to construct her look, but made them look like
a lot more than just curtains. The outfit she's serving is an LBD, simple by definition, yes,
but when you take that closer look and see all the detail in the peplum and the waist
and the different little outfit pieces with the skirt and the top, it's really impressive
what she did here. Plus it has that WOW factor with the fans on both shoulders.
The only improvement that I would make to this look is maybe adding some kind of rhinestoning
or sparkle to the middle of this dress, just because that black fabric does lose a little bit
of the detail from a distance on a stage like this. But even though she didn't get the win,
again, it was definitely a good night for her, and this look was Hot.
Next up, Lady Camden. The materials that she used to create
this wild little fantasy were tint rods and kiddie pool plastic. And of course,
tulle for all that stuff going on in the back. From this look I'm getting blonde bombshell,
goddess, Victoria's Secret lingerie fashion show? It's a really pretty look, and I was so glad that
she listened to Ru's advice about making her lips bigger, because, girl I’m with you here,
I was also blessed, or cursed, I guess you could say, with villainous thin lips. Anyway, point is,
the [ __ ] looks good. The actual outfit she created is pretty, interesting, unique, and really
has that WOW factor with the wings, and tool cascading in the back. It's only second on my list
for me tonight, because it's not really perfect … and I think when you take a huge risk like this,
some of the finer details do need to be a little bit more polished, for example, the piping between
the kiddie pool plastic and the bodice piece, was more distracting than additive for me. I
would have preferred if she had just left the piping on the hem of that breast line, and done
the little plastic fringe pieces at the bottom, and it would have been perfect. Plus I think
the tool in the back did end up looking a tad messy, and certain twists on the runway, so like I
can see why she didn't get the win … as the judges kind of rewarded the more perfectly constructed
look rather than the one that took a risk. But I do think she served Glamazon and this look
is beautiful – there's no way in hell I could do anything close to this. I think this look is Hot.
And first on my list tonight, a wittle teeny tiny incy wincy microscopic
petite … pill. Like was I the only one obsessed with this look? We've got a concept, a storyline,
it's the nightmare demon from her nightmares that she's having in her hotel rooms, and she delivered
something unique not only for this set of girls in this design challenge, but unique really for
the larger competition of RuPaul's Drag Race. Something that's getting harder and harder to
do. It was smart, strange, artsy, inspiring, for me at least, I loved it. Plus it's always good to
keep a girl around that can reach things in the top shelf of the pantry, right? I think her only
mistake here was using the brown fabric? Maybe that wasn't like super-“Glamazon-y” of a choice,
but I wasn't mad about it. Plus let's be honest, Glamazon Prime is an extremely vague
runway category, but my god, do I love this look. See you in my nightmares Willow, this look is Hot!
Now let's briefly break down that Untucked fight,
which was really good TV. Starts off with Maddy talking about how she is going to
slay Jasmine in that lip sync … which is funny at first, I enjoyed seeing Maddy's personality
fire up a little bit, I think it was really what RuPaul had been asking her to do earlier. It's
just a shame that she finally caught a blaze this late in the competition. But what really got me,
was Jasmine sounding like a complete lunatic. Like that she went off. She said to Maddy “I’m
not worried about you. Sit down and have a moment to yourself with your cocktail. Thank you, next.”
And the thing about this fight was like yeah, she was being pretty outrageous,
but you know you're about to be sent home on RuPaul's Drag Race. The like
best thing that you can do for your career as a performing drag queen, the stakes are high,
and I'm certainly not mad at her for having some raw emotion, just like Daya Betty did
in the competition. We just don't have enough I think real emotion sharing these days because so
many queens get scared of saying how they feel because of backlash online.
Anyways, I enjoyed it, they hugged, they made up, and Jasmine killed that lip sync, which I
did react to with the runways over on my Patreon at patreon.com/bussyqueen. That's my members-only
website where my Patreon family gets exclusive member benefits like early access to my videos,

But as for that lip sync and these two queens actually ending up in the bottom two,
I think it made perfect sense, honestly, there I think was a handful of choices for the bottom
two tonight. But I also want to say I don't really think that was the queen's fault … it
looked like they were just kind of handed a box of [ __ ] and RuPaul said “I don't know,
make something!” Whereas normally in unconventional materials challenges,
we at least see some kind of direction on a theme, that is not as vague as “Glamazon Prime.”
Which brings me again to my final thoughts and theory about Jorgeous getting the win
this episode. On one hand I can't actually understand why they gave her the win.
Her look was very cohesive, if simple, and served pretty “Glamazon” drag, like Ru asked, I guess.
But my theory here really is that since there was no Utica or Gottmik of the design challenge,
the producers had a little more free range to craft the narrative and story they wanted with
this episode. Picking Jorgeous as the winner was I think a really great way to add some spice to
the competition, you know, fluff some feathers of some other girls who feel like they're not
getting recognition. And to reposition Jorgeous as a potential front runner, now that we're seeing Ru
love what she's doing. And even though I would have picked a different queen for a win in
this challenge, I do want to say I'm happy for Jorgeous, and she should be happy with what she
did. And finally you all already know, my Hottest Hot on this runway tonight is Willow Pill. I also
asked my Patrons to vote for their Hottest Hot and this week they've chosen Lady Camden.
As always though I’d love to know what y'all think down in the comments below:
who would you have given the win to? Put in the bottom two? Sent home? And so on. And I also want
