today our queens were challenged to go viral by creating their very own tick tock i mean
social media dance challenge videos and the runway category was what lies beneath
aka many many many reveals and honestly the judging this episode left me scratching my
wig wondering what were the judges thinking so we'll be breaking all that down and then
at the end of today's video catching up with the drag world's hottest topic Violet Chachki who's
finally broken her silence on the whole fashion photo Ruview situation we've got a lot to cover

thanks surf shark for sponsoring today's video now let's get this rump bumping first off shay coulee
on the runway today she's giving us a little i'm blue da dee da da fantasy but make it twenties
the first look we see her in is this oversized multi-toned blue coat poncho which definitely
does not say i have more looks under this one but the gag was it sure did it reveals to a really
pretty tulle nightgown which finally reveals to a deep blue satin gown that has some little
peekaboos in the back one of the things i found really strange though when the judges were giving
their critiques on these looks was michelle said she had never seen a gown with cutouts on the
back like Sheas and i was like we see that all the time? like i guess Trinity's drag detox is dragged
and this could just be me overthinking Sheas looks but i think she maybe was the only one to really
hit that what lies beneath part of the runway category i was very much getting that she was the
beautiful jewel that the old lady dropped in the ocean this look is hot and the challenge shea is
trying to teach us the shake down firstly i think the look she is wearing in her shakedown video was
gorgeous but the actual content in the video i'm a little split on her intro was kind of awkward
and unrelatable but the other place i think she missed the mark on here was relating the intro of
her skit to the dance and that seemed to be what the judges were really looking for because what
did the dance academy have to do with learning the Sheakdown she honestly should have called her
dance the cha-cha slide like shay like she lied does that work did shay shea slide oh there it is
all of that said though shay nailed the part of this challenge that was meant to be a tick-tock
dance there was constant movement throughout her body her moves were very clear and obvious what
she was doing and i was really interested to see how she would bring it all together as she was
teaching us the steps so well the skit half was rot for me the dance part was like flaming hot
next up she now knows the secrets of the plunger it's Jaida essential on the runway today she is
giving us the four seasons of Jaida winter spring summer and fall these four looks are phenomenal
and some individually speaking are better than others for example i think this summer and
fall gowns were top tier on this runway tonight what got me the most though was i feel like i
never knew where the next reveal was coming from she was taking pieces down pulling hats out of her
belt line letting dresses down putting dresses up like it was truly a show what she was giving
on the runway and she is just a queen who every single week now i cannot wait to see what she does
she's the reason for my season this look is hot and for the challenge Jaida is teaching us
today the diva's essential dance challenge i don't know where she got that name from it's a bit of a
mouthful i will say though skit wise i think she was really strong it was branded she put in her
running bit about look over there at the very end and she incorporated these elements of her being
super glamorous and famous but also like quirky and weird and relatable the dance moves though
didn't feel too much like dance moves they kind of just felt like i'm doing this now i'm doing this
now i'm doing that and when it all came together it just felt a tad empty i feel like the challenge
for things like this when you see them on tik-tok is you want them to catch the viewer's attention
and keep it as long as possible and as soon as those tick-tock users see a pause a still movement
swipe you're gone overall though i enjoyed what she did so i'm gonna give her a very safe
tonight next up something again this way comes the Vivienne she's giving us a little into the woods
wicked fantasy first she's in her as she says haggard old witch cloak which i guess reveals to
a glen of the good witch type of look and then the third part of her look is the skirt part of her
dress is a tear away which reveals to some power joggers i think Vivienne did a really good job on
the runway tonight however i was kind of missing the three distinct looks from her like many of the
other queens truly did have i wanted to spend more time with that old haggard witch in the beginning
and have a better story arc for that third look which was just the tearaway piece but i do think
she looked absolutely glamazon gorgeous on the runway at least in that second look
and third which was the same so i'm gonna give this look a hat in the challenge though she tries
to teach us a dance called the vivio again this challenge is about dancing apparently as much as
it is about self-branding and the branding part yes she absolutely had that down she made sure
that we knew that she could brand a dance name with her name and vivio it was but my take on
how she performed in this challenge was the vivio doesn't really sound like a dance it sounds more
like the app that the dance is on and then on top of that she didn't even teach us a dance she just
kind of rolled around on the floor and did the ymca and sure while sometimes playing the oh i
can't do this so i'm gonna make a joke out of the entire thing character can work but here it just
felt a little forced and none of the dance or what she was doing had anything to even do with the
name of the dance video i'm gonna give this a rat next up i've got a trick up my sleeve
it's raja and does her first look not literally look like eve's reveal look from the musical
first she's giving us this crazy tropical circus tent with the pink flamingo in the hair which
reveals to psychedelic clown in the hamptons which finally reveals to alien goddess of
the other worlds that are filled with venus flytraps instead of people each layer of raja's
look was more exciting and kind of uncovered more lore about what this creature i guess i could
say was on the runway ben platt i think said it best when he called all of this controlled chaos
i think everything she did was effortlessly over complicatedly beautiful and this is what
lies beneath i would like to see more this look is hot and in the challenge she tries to teach us the
raja cool her dance is based around the concept of her i guess being like a self-help guru
each letter in her name stands for something more complicated than last and uses honestly
so many words that i stopped paying attention i could not for the life of me pick up on all
of the advice and the dance moves at the same time it was too much i also think her delivery
here came off a little bored and uninterested despite all that i think the actual dance that
she did came out pretty good it's probably not going to go viral but i kind of liked it in the
end so all of that considered i'm going to give this dance a warming up next up howdy y'all it's
Yvie Oddly and this runway tonight was oddly but i think my issue with it is she was kind of getting
caught up on some of the different pieces and the whole thing would have translated a lot better if
it were let's say on a theater stage where she was standing and doing these reveals she starts
off in her chrysalis which gets torn open and there's goo everywhere falls on the floor and
finally after all the drama she is just a larva nothing weirder happens no wings came out and i
was just kind of like is that it what was really cool about the look that i realized later during
critiques was the mask she's wearing is controlled i guess electronically with a button that was sick
i just don't think this concept as a whole worked for the runway tonight so i'm going to go ahead
and give it a rat in the challenge she is teaching us the odd bod to put the oddities in your bodies
oddities in your lobotomy Yvie was one of the few tonight that i think really nailed it on the skit
and teaching part of it like i really felt like oh this is a teacher that wants to help me learn
this and is being campy and silly and weird and really being over the top to help me understand
what's going on plus the theme was great for her and that's branding i could definitely see
this one being picked up an app like tick tock and then remixed with extra odd things for each person
happening at the end like she did with the sucker this dance i'm going to give a next up
Jinkx monsoon who i am apparently cosplaying today on the runway Jinkx gives us a little
educational moment her reveals are four different looks representing four different
eras of art first she's giving us picasso and this piece of structure kind of like a blazer
which reveals to a Monét which reveals to an andy warhol featuring some pop art of her very own face
that finally reveals to a verklimpt inspired gown these looks more than any i think tonight are what
i would truly consider reveals because you don't know when or where they're coming or how they're
gonna happen or why and what got me the most was that each of these looks not only represented
the art of the artist she was honoring but were different silhouettes i was just as amazed at
how she accomplished that as i was with Jaida accomplishing like four different gowns see in
the moma these looks were hot and in the challenge Jinkx takes an interesting approach to this social
media viral dance video challenge her frame of reference here is remember the cinnamon challenge
close else sure does how is glozell doing by the way i miss her she takes the route of trying to
put as much peanut butter sandwich into her mouth as she can for her dance dance and the skate slash
branding part of what Jinkx did tonight was phenomenal top tier this is literally what
jynx does it's where she shines but the dancing portion could have used a little jelly because
you know jam don't shake apparently neither does peanut butter it was just some swiping peanut
butter on bread and shimmying side to side and her being completely ridiculous which again was very
entertaining but is it going viral because it's funny yes because it's a good dance though no
oh no oh my god my earring just fell off Jinkx literally just ripped that off my ear because
i said that Jinkx i'm sorry i realized though when i rewatched that rue told them in the work
room it really was supposed to be a master class on branding and let's be honest how much time do
you think rupaul and michelle spend on tick tock actually rue spends quite a bit and uh well here's
a clip don't mess it that girl mickey she's not one of them oh yeah um put that [ __ ] on never
period so all things considered yes i am going to give Jinkx a for this performance don't exchange
the channel next up is Monét on the runway tonight she is giving us looks comprised of reveals that
are all about black empowerment her first look is harriet tubman which transitions into a black
panther inspired look which by the way had to be one of my favorite looks on the runway tonight it
was just simple and it's elegant and very clearly referencing the black panthers and she ends in
the current era with the non to the blm black lives matter movement and on her dresses printed
and still we fight and this was another look that besides all these looks being a beautiful use
of Monét's platform i thought was really cool it kind of looks like a sports jersey but it's
a sequence dress and the best thing about these looks was they perfectly encapsulated Monét's
casual yet stylish and thoughtful drag these looks are absolutely high and in the challenge she's
teaching us the monemone Monét and thank god bru convinced her to change from that prior concept
which is supposed to be called the exchange good name but it was conflated with all these weird
details about seeing an exit a club and what you do to like i guess gives attention or get them
away from you anyways the final product is worth millions she did a really great job of tying in
the concept of getting that direct deposit cash money out of the bank and incorporating that
into her dance and using her name Monét as a pun for money plus the actual dance that she
did was phenomenal this is absolutely something that you would see on tick tock or what have you
Monét absolutely killed this challenge this was hot next up Trinity the "It's Not Hairy"
Tuck! I loved all the beautiful pink flowers throughout this look and how everything was
beautifully constructed this is definitely one of the most gorgeous looks we have seen from Trinity
my critique on this look is i wasn't surprised that this is where she took this category i
think it would have been more of a challenge for her to serve completely different looks instead
of just slightly less versions of the prior one each time but what she did was a flawless
execution of this concept so i'm gonna give this look a and over in the challenge she's teaching us
the tucking dance challenge and this was another moment this episode where Trinity did what we kind
of knew Trinity was going to do if you remember Trinity actually taught us how to talk back on
all stars 4 in the variety show and her name is Trinity the tuck so conceptually speaking i
maybe would have liked to have seen her try something different however she absolutely nailed
what she was asked to do in this challenge this kit was super funny very easy to understand and
the actual dance that she turned these moves into i think worked well and were unique enough that
they might catch my attention where i scrolling on social media girl i lay off this performance
was hot our winners tonight though not gonna lie caught me off guard they give the win to Jinkx
and Monét and the reason i was caught off guard was because i originally watched this episode
thinking oh they need to make a really great dance something that i would see on tick tock and
shay and Monét were the only ones that did that of this entire cast for me but it was also very clear
that each contestant heard different things for this challenge and phrases like going viral and
social media dance challenge don't necessarily mean the same thing to every person so because
the judges were evaluating everything in a skit branding slash dancing teaching personality way
i think more than anything it did make sense that they selected these two as the top two even though
they both i think won the challenge in very different ways and concerning the winner's lip
sync tonight i did react to it over on my patreon that's my members only website where my patron
family gets exclusive member benefits like early access to my youtube videos access to exclusive
videos access to the busy queen discord server and more and you can join by clicking the link
in the description of this video see you there but i was gagged to see that they finally did a spoken
word lip sync and this one was from designing women and the thing you may not realize at first
is that spoken word in my opinion is much more difficult than lip syncing to a song there's no
beat or queue of words and you can't really hide it if you don't know them which in this lip sync
did become a little obvious i think Monét was much more on the cadence of the speech from the woman
in this movie so she gets a much deserved win and ends up blocking raja which was interesting but we
are at a point in the competition where it looks like you are going to need three stars to get into
the top four we've got two episodes left before the finale with four potential stars to give out
and actually now that i'm looking at this chart and the number of stars left and the number of
stars that queens have i am wondering how this is gonna play out because let's say four different
queens each got a star in the next two episodes we could be looking at a weird tiebreaker situation
where six queens have three stars so that tells me that either the block is going to come into play
in the next two episodes has to or there could be another twist probably in episode 11 before
the finale if i were a betting woman where rupaul gives out more stars or potentially takes away
stars but that's just a theory a drag theory hey matpat so as promised let's go ahead and chit
chat about the violet drama she has finally spoken out about the whole fashion photo Ruview situation
i'm tired i don't have time to redo this because as a reminder the last thing we heard from her
concerning all of this was a tweet where she said yes i booted your faves and i'll be doing it again
and then some gossip and rumor from the roscoe's viewing party where the host said that she
demanded to have those episodes taken down okay so we had violet here and she said it she was like no
she called and she's like pull up that's it pull him take him down i'm pissed and they kind of were
like don't worry you're doing great sweetie they kind of like they put a little like icing on it
and she was like nope we're not having these to be seen you can hear everything that she said on the
latest no gorge episode but i took the liberty of pulling out some highlights for everybody
she starts off discussing everything by saying that she does not need to be associated with
that franchise anymore the other thing is that i don't necessarily need to be associated with this
franchise anymore honestly like after this experience i'm like i you guys can keep it
i'm like we're sitting here getting like threats transphobia like the craziest i've ever seen and
they were apparently both so soured on the whole situation that they offered to give the money
back i even told them i was like i don't care like take it down like delete the whole series and they
wouldn't do it they paid us x y and z money we was like take the money back like take the videos down
like i don't need this and she also talks about how yes the comments on youtube were terrible to
them but the other really big thing was this was cross platform remember she went viral on twitter
and everyone was chiming in with their thoughts and concerns and questions about the situation
and sometimes vitriol the one complaint they had that i will critique a little bit though is they
were talking about how the drag race fandom has a really big issue with bullying online and they
absolutely do but i will also say i think it's actually just a fandom problem this happens in
any online community where there are enough people talking about one thing and i actually argue in my
experience at least i think there's a lot more good than bad in the drag race fandom plus the
other poop that violet stepped in with all of this was critiquing somebody whose spot she was
basically replacing on a season where there are no negative critiques being handed out because even
i've experienced people coming at me for having an opinion about a dress or a performance and a
challenge because to some of these fans having an opinion about their favorite queen that is
not in line with like what rupaul and michelle said about them can feel like a personal attack
which i understand but doesn't mean that they need to be taking it out on anybody anyways i'll
end all this with some positivity by saying please be nice to each other online and especially to the
queens but i'd love to know what you're thinking about everything down in the comments below and
the moment you've all been waiting for my hottest hats the runway was super tough for me to decide
on because i loved the artistry of raja's the unexpectedness of Jinkx's the reveal quality of
jade is in the message of Monéts but i've gotta give it to raja who i was completely mesmerized
by and in the challenge i double tapped Monét's video i also asked my patrons to vote on their
hottest hot and today they've chosen Jinkx on the runway and Jinkx in the challenge and as always
i want to say thanks so much to you for watching today's video and give an extra special thanks to
