out the Clones first up it's Jonbers blonde and Nanu Noir so this makeover I think of the entire
cast left the most to be desired for me in terms of actual transformation I wasn't really getting
drag family so much as even the judges pointed out I was getting friends hanging out who kind of like
to dress similarly because the two did match very well yes and Jonbers and Olivia- nanu's
outfit were really pretty stylistically speaking but there was nothing really here that screamed
Jonbers other than it's a cute fashionable look which I think really was the problem Jonbers was
facing in this challenge Jonber's biggest standout moments in the competition thus far have been in
the musical and snatch game she's got a huge personality but hasn't really channeled that
into a specific aesthetic yet that is easily capturable I think in a challenge like this
and even more confusing I think was the schtick of her and her partner doing this mime clown kind of
fantasy on the runway the performance of what they did was very fun but again was like why are they
doing this and how does it relate back to jonbers and if we are gonna go with this clown thing like
give me the full fantasy give me full drag not just two pretty ladies hanging out on the runway
together doing a mime show in this challenge I will say has to be one of the toughest for
the Queens because they're trying to sell to the judges and an audience what they think they have
imparted their drag is on onto the audience which is to say we've only seen these Queens for six
weeks and we don't have the full idea of who they truly are so our interpretations of what their
drag is may not necessarily be the full picture of who they are as a queen in essence this is a
branding Challenge and I'm not sure what brands jonbers was really selling here or why so I'm
going to give her makeover a rot - even if their outfits were pretty cute... next up Pixie polite
and Trixie true love so pixie is paired with Wendy who we learn is a day one Queen team care member
and girl has Miss Wendy's seen and unfortunately had to adjust it all even a bollock that poor
poor woman I'm sure she does not get paid enough and these two have quite the interesting visual
presentation on the runway before I break down with her actually wearing I want to compliment
the message of what pixie was imparting with these outfits she tells us these looks are inspired by
her time spent in childhood in her nan's Garden it was the one place she says where she felt like she
could truly be herself and so now here pixie is as an adult living that childhood fantasy and they're
dressed as fairies the actual silhouettes of what they're wearing are even kind of tinkerbell-esque
and I think the idea and concept of what pixie did to herself and Trixie was absolutely sold on
the runway I understood the perspective of where she approached this makeover from however it was
in the execution that I think she really struggled she herself looks pretty good the outfit fits her
her makeup and hair look amazing but when you pan over to Wendy Trixie true love you see that pixie
has kind of just taken what would have fit her in terms of the makeup and the outfit and just
slapped them on to Trixie true love instead of adjusting for this other person's face Contours
and body proportions the dress kind of swallows Trixie true love whole and the makeup doesn't do
enough to complement Wendy's actual face even she comments that she felt older and dragged than she
expected to so it was unfortunate that that was the overall effect of what pixie accomplished
The Branding pixie nailed but the actual makeover part she failed this was a rot and next up black
peppa and her partner Fleur who she transforms into Chili Peppa we love a well-rounded spice
cabinet these two come out in some very structured little black dresses that are honestly really
great artistic Silhouettes and while some Queens approached this Challenge from like a matrilineal
perspective tonight black Peppa went for for the twins perspective twinning and has completed that
fantasy out with ponytails that even like hook up at the end points it was taking me back to the
season three drag queens in space challenge when they were like we are on the lookout for single
guys and the actual makeup and transformation of what black Peppa did tonight I think was top tier
the club kid kind of clown makeup was really cool the ponytail is an excellent touch and
overall these two were 100 giving me drag family resemblance when to become one when to be careful
that said whose drag family are we talking about here I'm not sure it was black Peppas so much as
it was Danny beards and Danny even chase black puppet in the work room for doing the white
face which Jenny has kind of made a trademark on this show and no of course she doesn't own it but
I very much could see this exact silhouette and face paint on Danny which is to say was this what
I expected Peppa to pull out of her spice cabinet for this makeover challenge not necessarily when
I think of Peppa's drag I think of headpieces reveals High fashion and surprises and this
definitely fits the surprise category but did it fit the others I'm not so sure I was thinking
it was a fair critique to hear from the judges that they wanted to see more from the neck down
because it was a very head and hair focused look it certainly wasn't underwhelmed by these looks
but I also wasn't overwhelmed maybe just like a nice safe hot well that's sad I do think there was
the success in makeup execution that I think for me at least definitely allowed this look to stand
above like for example John who also went for a clown type of fantasy next up grab a slice or two
tonight with cheddar and Brie gorgeous or cheddar of the cast members I think has the easiest time
in her makeover transformation Gemma who becomes Brie confesses that she does drag every single day
because you are born naked and the rest is drag after all that is to say she's already feeling
her fantasy before the makeover even starts and I lived for her but it did kind of put cheddar
I think one notch Above the Rest in terms of fairness today that said cheddar does not take it
easy in this transformation even though she could have she turned Dimmitt into a full clone copy
sister daughter alien spawn twin from the alien deity galaxies far above and beyond and away they
both got these beautiful double Victory hair rolls breezes blue and Cheddars is this reddish Auburn
autumnal color and I love that their looks overall are so similar yet contrast in really beautiful
ways with those blue and red colors cheddar succeeded in all of the ways that you really want
to see a queen succeed in a makeover challenge the execution of the outfits is beautiful they
are unmistakably styled like cheddar would style something the makeup very chatter and overall you
feel 100 transported to the world of gorgeous when you see these looks on the runway together cheddar
gave birth on the runway and papa Don't Preach because she is keeping the baby this makeover
was packed next up did somebody say dolls Valley of the Dolls it's Dakota and Brigitte shiffer
so Dakota is paired with Queen team member Lucy another day winner and they are such a cute little
pairing who you can tell through the camera have such a beautiful chemistry together unfortunately
though the makeover experiment from Team shipper was not well received by the judges however I
disagree totally the actual transformation of Lucy into Bridgit I thought was beautiful and
the two absolutely gave drag family resemblance and more importantly they gave Schiffer drag
family resemblance these two were 100 giving that 60s little doll fantasy that Dakota sells Runway
every single week she said branding yes ma'am I've been giving you branded I've been giving you 60s
Valley of the Dolls and I'm gonna give it to you here again the makeover challenge Dakota I think
accomplished drag family resemblance a hell of a lot more than many of the other queens tonight I
was so confused with the replacement of her in the bottom the judges seemed so heavily
focused on not liking the actual outfits that Dakota was presenting as this pair and Michelle
of course gave the classic you're giving the same silhouette type of critique to Dakota to sell the
reason of why she should be in the bottom it was all just giving very forced storyline and did not
understand Dakota in the bottom for this I could not believe it this makeover was and finally Danny
beard and Missy mustache so Danny is paired with Miss Mystique who we learn has a bit of hesitation
in her pairing with Danny because she finds out that she may have to wear some facial hair on the
runway and this for her is an idea that's making her uncomfortable at first because she's somebody
who has been mistaken for a male person she says in her life and that hasn't set well with her and
Danny hears all of this and approaches Mystique with open arms an open heart and really I think
did an excellent job of welcoming her into the Danny beard family like Danny did an excellent
job of the transformation of Mystique into mizzy and this pairing was really fun to watch on the
runway the makeup hair and outfits these two were wearing were beautiful compliments to each other
and you know in a makeover challenge when someone is having that much fun that the makeover was a
success plus I think Danny absolutely nailed The Branding aspect of this challenge these looks were
unmistakably of the Danny beard catalog and because the final looks were so gender Effy
I think they were a great representation of what drag can allow someone to feel and these
two I think of any other pair had one of the most beautiful story lines we had to see how the power
of drag allowed someone to overcome a deeply held fear plus I mean how could you not love the drag
name Missy mustache iconic I did think it was kind of funny though that Dany emphasized the
facial hair in these looks so much despite it's this really only being wet the second time that
we've seen Danny actually emphasize facial hair on the runway I think last week with the pink
mustache was really the first every other time she's pretty much just painted over it in white
regardless though I had so much fun with these looks and I think the makeover was absolutely
which is to say Obviously my hottest tonight goes to Danny beard and messy mustache I could also
ask my patrons though to vote on their hottest hot tonight and they voted for cheddar and be gorgeous
so the win tonight goes to Cheddar gorgeous and this did surprise me a little bit because I
thought the storyline that Danny and mizzy had was really compelling and Cheddar's makeover just felt
a little too effortless for me I was like I like to see somebody have a challenge or obstacle and
overcome it and cheddar was just like no obstacle no problem I'm still gonna kill it that said I do
think the win was well deserved that was another makeover that absolutely blew me away the bottom
two tonight were what really got me gal Dakota and the bottom two I could not believe it and you
already heard My reasonings but I think it should have been pixie and John Burrs the idea that
Dakota would be in the bottom at all much less going home later because she was giving a branded
silhouette that she had very much trademarked as her own in a makeover challenge make it make sense
it was just like oh okay this is when y'all wanted Dakota to go home so you just made some [ __ ] up
and threw in the bottom whatever and the lip sync between Dakota and pixie goes exactly how you
expect it to go when one of the Queens is there for a third time in this competition I did react
to this lip sync and the other best parts of this episode though in my new patreon exclusive podcast
called the bus stop and you can go listen to that and see my reaction over on patreon.com busy Queen

let's go to goes home which I agree pixie probably had the better Lip Sync here I just don't think
Dakota should have been there at all now on into the drama - so Kimora Amour was seen on Twitter
earlier this week saying this I love that people are calling out others dot dot dot since we are
on the topic of blackface I think it's time we are open and honest about a Canada's drag race
Queen allegedly doing a form of blackface and everyone just keeping quiet Thursday anyone this
quote tweet by the way was retweeting someone else who had retweeted a video of two seeming
to be teenagers doing blackface in some sort of public place it might be a Walmart I'm not
really sure where they wrote meanwhile in Utah and I have censored these people actually doing
blackface here for sensitivity purposes but it had been going viral online in spaces like Tik Tok and
Twitter and to that tweet a person on Twitter responded to Kimora writing how about you say
their name instead of storing the pot and Kimora said oh I will but I've learned that conversations
are better than posts Instagram of Kimora followed through that following Thursday in a Twitter live
space where she started talking along with Isis Couture about the person who allegedly did this
form of blackface this is what they say playing with these nice people it's Rita Baga come on
yes like I said is this someone I respect it's not this is not shade this is not to bring down anyone
they're apparently allegedly Oceane said to all of us that this she was performing I think was a Glee
theme and she was Amber Riley what do you mean allegedly girl Oceane's payment went to Rita what
do you mean allegedly I'm saying allegedly because we have to say allegedly I since we got to say
allegedly so allegedly allegedly got the Garment the look from Miss Rita- Miss rutabaga because
this had the Garment because she was performing as Amber Riley is that what I heard this isn't about
cancellation I need to know that this wasn't done and that this isn't something that's just okay
you can't just wear our skin and be open and and think that we're gonna be okay and put some braids
on like and I want to highlight she was using the words alleged and allegedly here when in
discussing the person who allegedly did a form of blackface playing with these nice people it's real
they're re-sharing this story from the perspective of another queen Oceane Aqua
black which is just to say alleged information is just that alleged information and I expect due to
the gravity of this alleged information there will be more developments to follow so I will
be tracking this closely here on my channel I'd love to know what all of you are thinking about
this as well as the outcome of this episode of drag race UK so let me know down in the comments
