And I sat there thinking maybe I was the pageant queen all along! Hi Ugly,
it's me [ __ ] and welcome back to Hot or Rot! And today we'll be reviewing episode 13
of RuPaul's Drag Race season 14. Our queens were challenged to roast the hilarious Ross Matthews,
and on the runway the category was "tutu too much". And we'll be ranking our queens from
Rottest Rot to Hottest Hots based on how I thought they did in the episode. Scored out of a total 10
flames, 5 for the runway and 5 for the challenge. And this episode starts with
all of our queens talking about the impending arrival of the finale,
yet we still have 7 girls! So in a shocking twist RuPaul gave the chop to 2 of them!
And we've got a lot to talk about today but first I was hoping y'all could help me pick out some new

Now in the words famed comedian, Gia Metric,
"let's knock some rocks together so we can start a fire and get this roast a' cookin' am I right??"
Oh ... we really did not get that this episode did we? Coming in at the Rottest of my Rots tonight
is DeJa Skye. So this episode did start by reminiscing on the lip sync assassin title
that RuPaul kind of gave her pretty early on in the season. Unfortunately, or fortunately for her,
we never got to see if that title would ring true later. Until now. But more on that at
the end of today's video. In the roast all I can really say about her jokes were that
they were weird ...? I really don't know how else to describe them. But I think what
really did me and for DeJa was like the sound effects that she was making ... for example,
when she was talking about Michelle washing herself, and then the barking that she did for
Ross Matthews, and the air horn that she did ... what was that? She was like a live sound board.
And maybe she was just trying to tap into her successful Little John from Snatch Game
but that was a big mistake. Honey you've got a big storm coming. I was also shocked that
she heard Michelle and Dulce tell her 'do not use this joke, do not use that joke,'
yet she used those jokes anyways ... now that is comedy. DeJa's roast was a ruff ruff Rot.
And we're on the runway for tutu two two, tutu
too much, she really gave too too little. Too too Little John? I will say though generally
speaking here she looks really pretty and put together, even if you know the garment is a
little unfitted. I think what she was really missing here was a concept ... so many of the
other queens reached for the sky, while she stayed on the ground floor. And on TV, boring
is pretty much the worst mistake you can make, even if you look pretty. This look was a Rot.
Next up, you say hello-tis, I say goodbye-dis. Or I should say RuPaul says goodbye-dis ... cute exit
line. Anyways, this roast kinda had me fooled at first, because I found myself laughing at
her jokes, but then I realized after the second or third time through that I was actually laughing at
her, not with her, which is really not the kind of comedy that you want to be giving in RuPaul's Drag
Race comedy challenge. I will say though Jorgeous was one of the only queens to truly go in on Ross,
like harder than anybody else. There was the turkey gobble joke and also the weight joke about
losing the baby, that I guess Michelle gave her. All misses in her comedy set considered though,
I will say there were a couple of hits, and RuPaul was laughing at her as well,
even if I think it was at her and not with her. But for all the funny moments the editors
sure were ready to add some little shady jingjing noises every time she said something.
But alas, editing tricks or not, this was a Rot. And over on the runway, she has a tutu on.
Is it too too much? No no it's not not, but it's something something. Michelle enjoyed this of
course because it's kind of an 80s reference with the Madonna-esque vibes that Michelle pointed out.
I was also getting maybe a little Janet Jackson inspiration with the leather in the chains, but I
didn't totally understand why she styled what was essentially a pretty tutu-ed tulle cocktail dress
with these harsher biker accessories. Like what was the full storyline of what was happening? It
kind of felt to me that she just wanted to switch it up on the runway and not just give a pretty
dress and this is where we ended up. Like had she, for example, put some of that leather and chains
and all of the you know butch excitement of the butchiness into the tutu, maybe this could have
been a more cohesive look. Plus I feel similarly to Jorgeous says I did about DeJa tonight,
it's pretty, but it's not really too too much. Give me more, gimme gimme more. This was a Rot.
Next up I've been dying to taste her roast *gay slurping noises* It's Daya Betty.
You know Daya kind of shocked me with how painfully unfunny this was, but I don't think
it was just the nerves that she announced she had at the beginning of her roast when she told the
judging panel that she was terrified. It really was the drum and droll of all the words that she
was using and the setup that she was building and the things that she was saying and the ... you
get my point. It just felt like there were so many layers of this onion that you had to grab onto ...
okay I'll stop, and peel back! Before you actually found the joke. But when we finally
did get to those punch lines there were some okay zingers in there. However, for those funny
jokes that there were, they were ruined for me as a viewer by hearing them in rehearsal.
Which I do want to say, probably was an editing trick to dull the effect of her
comedy roast. But as we heard it this roast was over marinated, over thought, it was an over Rot!
On the runway, what is she wearing today? She said her tutu too much look is made out of recycled
materials, which I was a little confused by at first. Maybe she was saying that like the world's
consumerism habits are too much and there's too much waste, so let's use the too too much waste
to create an outfit? She was also playing I think into the too too much part by wearing those heels
that brought her like 11 more inches too too tall. I will say this look was not as impactful as it
maybe should have been, and I think that was mostly because of the stage lights ... some of
the pinks and golds in this look really just faded away and it wasn't until the cameras zoomed in
that you could see all those really great details. For example the hair being woven into a hem of the
jacket, all those carefully placed bows and the distressed tights. Oh and uh, DeJa's crown from
last week's runway that she I guess recycled into this look. There is something I'm still wanting
Daya to do with proportionizing because she is such a tall gorgeous glamazon, and that tallness
and height I think requires a special attention to blowing out the proportions of the other parts of
the outfits and clothes that you're wearing. But don't get me wrong, the [ __ ] is stunningly Hot.
Next up, Angeria Paris it's not that your jokes aren't funny I'm just not laughing Van Michaels.
In the roast, I was so excited for Angeria, because she gives us so many funny little
confessionals, and every time the camera pans over to her throughout pretty much any episode,
she is giving us some kind of reaction in her face that is hilarious. But that natural sense of humor
she has wasn't necessarily harnessed into joke writing for this particular instance. I will say
though there's a lot to be said for the level of confidence that this queen has, because as hard
as she was flopping in some of those moments, she never buckled under the pressure. And maybe
that's her pageant world training showing through or perhaps she was just born with a steel nerve,
and extra points not only to Angeria but really all of the queens for performing their comedy
sets to essentially an empty audience ... yeah, remember back in the day there actually used to
be people sitting down there on the stage reacting to your set as you were going so you could kind of
feel the temperature of the audience and decide where to go next. Girl, in these episodes it is
to those 4 judges on the panel, that's it. Overall I would say this roast was plated beautifully but
ultimately undercooked, it was a Rot. And over on the runway, how about a little pageant tutu for
your nerves? I absolutely adored the traditional yet non-traditional take on this category,
using what would be like a traditional ball gown, except adding layers of tulle to create a couple
different tutus throughout the length of the dress. She's giving me a beautiful layered wedding
cake. And if we're going to be doing a little sisterhood of the traveling wig within Angeria's
hair to Dulce, I think I will be claiming to borrow it next. I did score this look 4 out
of 5 Hot flames, only because I think to get that last final fifth flame, I wanted to see something
truly revolutionary like we did with a couple of the other concepts on the runway tonight.
But this is a solid gorgeous Hot from Angeria, and I honestly expect no less at this point.
Next up, Boshko! Bashko Bashko, Bashko. In the roast firstly I love the look that she's wearing.
This red plaid thing is probably one of the best things she has worn the entire competition. The
hair is phenomenal, this is actually some hair that I think we saw from her Instagram back when
we were reviewing the cast promo looks. And I was just sitting there thinking like yeah you're funny
but damn girl, where have these looks been? Why have we just been wearing the straps every week?
But concerning her roast, she did take the fall and open the roast tonight, which I think is a
really brave thing to do, and I overall thought that she did a great job. I honestly didn't expect
her not to though, because she was so funny in the panel. However I must bring up that while her
roast was tasty, I don't think that it was very fresh ... it's more like seconds. The meat of
it relied on that 'I'll show you versatility win' joke line that weird all the way back in season 6
from Bianca Del Rio. Borrowed setup aside though, I do think that she had some of the best zingers
and quick punch lines, like she really did a great job of like jokes per minute. So I'll say that
overall this roast was Hot, and tasty. And over on the runway I guess you could say we saw this
coming. We've been seeing that little Saw outfit in the corner of the work room every time they
go back in for Untucked for a few weeks now. I think conceptually speaking this was a great take
on this runway. It's a really unexpected twist I think to go into the horror glam arena for a
category like tutu, which would traditionally rely on beauty and simple elegance. Plus her makeup is
great. I love that [ __ ] coming down the face, and the headpiece and shoulder pieces are also
really great ways to finish out the top part of that look. But when you really take a gander at
this look, it feels a little unfinished. I think she needed a little bit of that red stoning that
she did on the top on the tights and maybe tips of the shoes as well. Because you think, if you were
sawed in half, you might have put on the top part and bottom of your garments. I think she deserves
a lot of points for creativity though, this final look I'm gonna give a 3 flame sought ... Salt.
Sought? Sought ... does that pun work? Hot! Hot saw. Saw, ooh Hot saw! Seesaw! It's Hot.
Next up, it's lady time! Miss Camden closed our show and I think she started off great
she showed us a strong blend of good delivery, cleverness, and keeping things simple enough for
everyone to understand. However I think she found herself tripping a bit in the end because she kept
reiterating the setup of her joke, and it was kind of a long one, and when you have to repeat that
same setup, and I was yelling into the deep open holes and then the echo came back and the echo
said ... it gets a little winded and tired, just like Ross Matthews' [_]. *gay cackle* ... oh god.
The first time though with the echo it was hilarious and you know she just needed to
keep it a little more short and sweet. She wasn't the best but she also wasn't the worst tonight,
so I'm gonna say this roast was a very safe Hot. And over on the runway, could we have had a better
runway category for Lady Camden, the ballerina? I don't think soooo. This is easily Lady Camden's
best look, this is the most beautiful she's looked, and I think she looks the most beautiful
of any of the girls tonight, this look is just rough takingly stunning. And while some of the
girls might have maybe had more interesting concept, pretty much nobody, except Willow,
who we'll talk about here in a second, had as good execution as she did. From that perfectly
sculpted hair to the way the stones and the beading work on the outfit and the
way she sold it on the runway with her natural ballerina movements. We simply did not deserve
the elegance that she gave us in this! This look was in ballerina terms, on point, and Hot.
Uuuuuum, I'm thinking about when Jorgeous said that RuPaul was in diapers ... and
she said it's funny because it's true. Can't stop thinking about it.
But let's go on to Willow Pill. In the challenge she went right after Jorgeous, which was a very
careful strategic move on her part. Girl, the way she slipped that in there when Jorgeous was
talking about going second and Willow goes, *gay gasp* 'I'll go next. I'll go after Jorgeous please
volunteer. Hello? Me! Right after Jorgeous, thank you.' Strategy! She has been doing those little
subtle strategic moves throughout the entire season and been quiet about, it the other queens
are just like turning a blind eye. But strategic or not, Willow had a great set. A great set.
I actually think she had some of the smartest jokes tonight, however I don't really think
that's the type of humor that RuPaul and the other judges are looking for. Dare I say her jokes were
too smart? Cause I kind of realized if you're not really thinking about what she's saying you might
miss some of the humor, which is really just kind of Willow's strategy in a lot of things.
She's not always looking for the hardest punch, she's looking for that Sucker Punch. Great movie
by the way. Don't blink or you'll miss her, this roast was Hot. And over on the runway, good GOD,
this serve, this LOOK. I remember her seeing a tweet from Aquaria several weeks back, and she was
like 'doesn't anyone like turn looks anymore?' And yeah, some of the runways this season have been a
little lackluster, but Willow has uhhh, she's had the heat on high like pretty much every single
week. But for as cool as some of her other looks has been, this is like the magnum opus of Willow's
runways. She said you want too much? I will give you tutu much, too much plastic surgery, the lips
are too too big, the cheeks are too too big, the glamour, the opulence, the, I'm *gasping for gay
air* the opera gloves and binoculars! It really is too too much! Again, there is a smartness
behind everything that Willow does, and this was breathtaking. This look is simply too too Hot.
Now let's talk about what the judges thought. The winner this week is Bosco, which I think
was justifiable, however I kind of saw that coming from a mile away. Literally before the roast even
started in my reaction of this episode over on Patreon, I called it. As far as who's gonna win,
I kind of think Bosco might win this. She just got what I think was a very very obvious winners edit
this episode. And again, for as being as quick and funny as she was, and opening the roast I
think she deserves it, but truthfully none of the roasts blew me away. And the challenge was mostly
unmemorable except for DeJa barking ... I think the only queen whose comedy set I wanted to hear
more of was Willows. And in the bottom, not 2 but 3 tonight, is DeJa, Daya, and Jorgeous. This was a
fun little gag at the end of the episode, however just because we've had all these girls in so many
episodes near the end of the season and we've just been watching them basically do challenge after
challenge like this exact group of girls, it kind of just was like okay yeah, it's probably about
time to lose 2 of them, like let's get them goin and get this finale filmed! But despite wanting
to see more than one queen go this episode, I do think that Jorgeous of the 3 was the most
edited or produced to be in the bottom. Whereas Daya and DeJa pretty much flatlined.
And concerning this 3-way lip sync to Olivia Rodrigo's Good for U, I did react to it over
on my Patreon patreon.com/bussyqueen. That's my members only website where my Patreon family
gets exclusive member benefits like early access to my YouTube videos *BIG gay gasp*,
access to exclusive videos, and access to the Bussy Queen Discord,
and you can join by clicking the link in the description of this video. See you there!
Honestly this episode was so obvious! As soon as that lip sync came on,
I said oh this is Daya's song, they're going to keep her, no matter pretty much what happens
because like she's our punk rock girl and here's a little punky rocky song. But that
doesn't mean that she didn't have to perform to stay, I'm just saying it was kind of like
okay. She gave the right facial choreography and she's got the attitude and vibe to fit this song,
whereas Jorgeous felt a little out of place here, her tight choreo did not fit with what
was going on, and DeJa Skye was there. In one of Daya's confessional she said the song was
about being pissed off and that she just had to tap into that emotion and I thought great,
she just has to think about Jasmine Kennedie. So I do ultimately agree with the judge's decision
here and Daya stays and we now have a top 5, but I think we all knows the real reason that
miss DeJa Skye was in the bottom was because of RuPaul's nose. And it's time for my Hottest
Hots. The moment you've all been waiting for! In the roast, I don't have one. Nobody reached
5 flames ... so sorry. But on the runway I choose Willow Pill. I also asked my Patrons to vote on
their Hottest Hots and this week they've chosen Bosco and the roast, Lady Camden on the runway.
