I'm back back back back back again honestly I should have titled this video why I left why I
might never come back good thing I don't ever click bait though anyways obviously I'm back
I took a little break to celebrate my birthday 21 again and I also took a little break to move
which is why I'm in the middle of like an empty studio right now well it's not empty it's filled
with boxes but I have not unpacked yet which is why I don't have all my pretty lights and stuff
like that but you know I've got the the BQ and a lamp and we're working on the rest so take it or
leave it also moving is a scam it's so expensive but yes I'm okay things are fine and actually
better than ever and I can't wait to finish out this year and have an amazing 2023 with
all of you as every YouTuber says I have tons of amazing things planned it's me and welcome

now let's rock some Jingle Bells first up let's talk about Icesis Couture so everything seems to
be going fine this episode and then seemingly out of nowhere Icesis has seen crying in the
workroom before they do their comedy routines when we start to hear Icesis open up about how
she is not physically or mentally strong enough to continue in the competition and she says she
needs a break and my initial reaction to this was like gagatondra I I was confused and concerned I'm
like what the hell is going on that we're not seeing because from my perspective over here as
the number one drag race super Stan I was thinking oh my God Icesis is Unstoppable this season she
was in every way possible on the runway's end and the challenges absolutely stealing the show and
the show didn't really do a lot to clear up what was going on we hear silky and Rajah talk about
the difficulties of being in the competition but it wasn't like Icesis was struggling week to week
in the competition aspect at least and because we weren't given a real explanation from this show
I was just sitting there thinking like oh my God conspiracy theory this has to be some sort
of ruse like she was just used as fan bait on the show to get viewers interested in talking because
we're gonna put a winner on there dramatic controversy yada yada but then we don't want
to actually give her two crowns so we'll just pull her out in the middle and have another controversy
to talk about I don't know seems plausible seems like something drag race would do but you watched
her and her sisters in the work room and then they can professionals having these very real
reactions and dramatic emotions about her leaving and you're like okay no something else is going on
I mean personally I'd be happy to see her go as a competitor of hers but obviously sad to
lose a friend no I would be happy to watch her go I would actually help her pack her bags but
the drama's real and she told us all about it at the latest Roscoe's viewing party and it even gets
crazier she talks about how she broke her leg on the recent tour that she did and spent what must
have been almost all of her prize money on the show seventy thousand dollars but I wasn't in the
best mindset uh going in there to begin with I can say like I was on the tour and I had to leave the
tour early because I ended up like breaking my leg and then I was like to be completely honest
like I spent like seventy thousand dollars on the show and the doctors didn't want me to go on
the show and they wanted me to cancel everything and then I just like convinced myself that I was
just gonna do it and I would be okay to do it which is even crazier to think about when you
remember that this is only a six episode season like good God so she had those things Weighing
on her mind plus she talked about how production I guess was trying to get her to do things that
she didn't want to do and hinted even more sources of stress saying this there's a lot of stuff that
happened with production that I don't necessarily agree with not only with me but with other people
and I just got to a point with the show where I was just like I don't agree what's happening
here I don't agree what you guys are doing to me I don't agree with the way that I feel and I think
it's just my time to go on my season our season wasn't shown uh very much I really wanted to go
because now it was going to seem by the world you know what I mean I'm a winner and there's
like so much expectation and I just talking with production blah blah blah it's like we really
need you to do this like like help us keep the title in Canada and so on and so forth and okay
I better stop but ultimately she doesn't get super specific about the behind the scenes tea and stuff
that they were allegedly making her do or asking her to do you know NDA and all but yeah she's gone
and she clearly is torn up about it and it feels even weirder knowing that this type of thing can
even happen to winners of the competition who are doing well in a second round just as easy
as it can happen to Queens on their first time around who maybe landed in the bottom a couple
of times like baby for example and in general it does feel like we are seeing this trend of
more and more Queens leaving the show but as a little thought experiment I would love
to flip the question on y'all and see what you have to think about this in the comments below
do you think Queens are more likely to leave the competition these days because they know they can
or do we think there's some bigger stressor that is happening around the production and filming of
these Seasons that may be causing this a greater conspiracy if you will but anyways enough drama
and speculation and back to the drag very briefly I want to cover my hottest looks from last episode
of the Weather Ball- my favorite look in the air body lace category definitely goes to Victoria
I thought that Drag King representation was not only phenomenal but just good drag period
and for Arctic foxy lady I want to shout out Vanity and Icesis's looks I didn't
really understand the harshness and the critiques that were given to vanity to
justify a bottom two placement for her I thought she had a really good set of three
looks and I think the hottest caught in the rain design challenge look definitely belongs
to Icesis Couture - on second thought thinking about how amazing her three looks were in this
maybe part of the reason she was so upset was she did not get the recognition that
I think she deserved in this ball because I think she really was the only one to hit that
high fashion runway Couture type of vibe with her final look and I also asked my patrons over
on patreon.com/bussyqueen - my members only website - which Queen had their favorite set
of three looks in the ball and the overwhelming majority voted for Icesis and as for Anita who
ultimately went home when silky won the lip sync and pulled her lipstick yeah I was sad
to see her go because I think she's a really great presence on camera and played really
nicely with the different cast members but she wasn't in this specific cast I think showing an
elevation or big enough change from her first season to justify staying in the competition
now under this week's episode first up oh no it's rush so miss Rajah O'Hara decided the lineup
for this comedy night because she won the mini Challenge and she decides to put herself first
we later find out that she made this decision because she had the little inner Saboteur voice
in her head telling her that it would be the best spot for her because she thought she wasn't gonna
be funny and she could kind of Fade Into the background which may have been the first time
we've seen an inner Saboteur try to use reverse psychology on and contested because going first
opening a show is like one of the biggest spots that you could take I thought she was just being
confident and really I don't think she did bad bad I think she just kind of struggled to get off
the ground starts off about making jokes about looking for a man who isn't and being empowered
and then gets a little lost along the way to the Finish Line doing the you know long-winded
storytelling so overall I'd say yeah she had a couple of Peaks but they were small and it's not
in enough quantity to balance out the valleys that she meandered through in her set this was
a rock talk with the confidence though but on the runway dagger Chandra loved this look she's giving
a pink and purple face candy plaid fantasy with some really awesome yellow accents on the hat and
on the thighs my childhood references immediately start going back to like Curious George with that
hat that his dad wore means a little Carmen San Diego meets the hamburger this book was just a
lot of fun and so obviously Rajah branded with the purple coloring and then also so creative plus the
eye makeup the Joe peep that head to toe loved it this look is oh wow I just found this on my desk
intermission for World AIDS and HIV awareness day which was December 1st and second yeah make sure
you know your status and get the full panel because if you don't get the full panel well
I'm not gonna steal the joke - Bob tweeted it but you're only getting half the story next up
Infinity Milan who if you'll remember was actually eliminated on her original season's comedy routine
for Lee Gates roast episode and briefly I just want to say vanity in every single episode has
redeemed herself even when she hasn't been at the top or whatever like she has completely 180 her
presentation of self she's confident unshakable better looks than ever and just radiates this
bad [ __ ] energy and even in this comedy set she wasn't the funniest tonight but oh my God she was
leagues better than what she originally did like she really went home did the homework studied and
came back to prove a point her set is doing this back and forth comparison between what's in Canada
and what's in the UK for example and Canada you have maple syrup and in London we have fashion and
interestingly she even added in some knock-knock jokes to the end of her set which were successful
I think though she just kind of missed the consistency throughout this performance to really
glue it all together but there's a comedy Queen in there so I'd give this performance a warming also
Tracy doing the critiques was like she has this quote where she goes it's prep it's prep it's prep
it's prep it's prep it's prep and I'm just saying great meme format when he asks what that little
blue pill is in your pocket and over on the runway I hope you weren't clueless about what this look
was referencing I love this look she's dressed as Dion shares best friend from Clueless in the
iconic outfit that she opens the movie with and the reason I love this so much was because a 90s
in the early 2000s fashion is very on Trend right now so this look felt fresh while at the same time
honoring a very I think underappreciated character in that movie like we've seen every single person
on the planet where it cher's yellow plaid look for Halloween but Dionne's look? let's wear that
look next Halloween iconic anyways this is a great reference and a great drag look she turned up the
volume on this just enough to change it and put some Flair onto it and not make it look
like she was just copying something from a movie rot as if this look is totally hot next up again
in the challenge Rita does that thing that she's been doing for a while now where she's speaking
French and that's the joke and I think it would be disingenuous of me to say that it was not funny
because I do think she was successful in making people laugh I was not one of those people but
I think that there was something funny in her set and she deserves tons of praise for the delivery
of her set she is such a natural Pro on that stage no matter what she's doing even when she's
eating cheese curds like on season one but this thing this joke of I'm speaking French you don't
understand me and then I'm doing some English it's a little overplayed for me so objectively I would
say this was a hot performance but subjectively I would say it was a rock but on the runway I
thought this was a really great night for her she said she's giving us some Paris fashion
realness serving her French girl fantasy and I like that this was fashionable but keeping that
Rita can't be equality about it with like the little drink or slushie that she's carrying on
the runway and I think the proportions and shapes of this look are all very good for Rita know she
did a great job of going over the top with the hat size and I think the pink is a fun color my
one completely noncredible fashion critique on this would be the sunglasses in the context of
a TV show on the runway I think we're just left on a little too long but I would give this look a
H like a fresh hat baguette next up Victoria is not "gone" but Icesis is sad and the challenge
today she does not go last she goes second to last which was a bit of a drama point for the
episode she talks about how she was really the only one to make a specific request in
placement for the challenge and was not granted that request by Rajah she even
says Miss Fiercalicious is his favorite word sabotage I heard if you say that four times a
row in a bathroom mirror with the lights off and then turn it on you see her behind you
anyways Miss Victoria does what she calls a Sapphic seminar Google the word this was so
fresh this was so funny she killed it Victoria Pro on the stage so funny the delivery confident she
was the first set of the night that was funny all the way through and she would have been a
great finisher finisher hardly an hour I really loved how in the beginning of her set she centered
herself as the punchline classic comedy trick get everybody to relax get him ready to laugh and I
can't really repeat any of the jokes that she made on this Christian G-rated family-friendly
Channel but I just did not expect someone so professional pretty and like put together to be so
raunchy this scone was hot and creamy and on the runway oops she did it again this look from her
it's like half business suit half jumpsuit she says her design is based on Welsh Tartan and is
a love letter to the beautiful Welsh valleys and not only is this look super interesting to look
at original and an amazing piece of art but has the very professional very campy quality that
Victoria brings to all of her drag so if it's phenomenally and finally I hope you're ready for
something spicy it's soaking up my ganache has a really great track record of being hilarious
on drag race and in many different ways right the snatch game in her original season lip sync
performances like Barbie girl and honestly just talking she's very naturally funny but was she
funny in her comedy set yes she was and whether she opened her set with confidence she's like
note cards nope don't need them funny ding ding ding and she did a great job of keeping the pacing
up in her set it was like joke joke joke and it even kind of turned into like a little roast of
Brooklyn Heights which thank God someone finally did a proper roast of her because because whatever
the hell happened on Canada's Drag Race season three we don't need to revisit that but what made
her set even funnier I think was her ability to tap into a personal experience and a relationship
with Brooke that really allowed us to laugh along with what silky was saying I even liked the really
awkward moment at the end when silky throws the thing of spices at Brooklyn and like completely
misses and just everyone's just awkwardly staring I relish the awkwardness but I don't like relish
on my hot dog silky got spicy this was but on the runway our Barbie girl maybe should not have been
a biker girl my first thought on this was this is an interesting take on plaid and overall I would
say this look was not bad it was a put together look she had a clear concept and I understood what
she was going for I just think that if the runway theme is plaid you kind of want to see a full
outfit of plaid and something more interesting than a nicely designed coat or I had black boots
plus the Plaid that was used on the dress was just a little underwhelming and while I do think silky
could definitely have pushed the envelope loop on this look I was like girl I hear the Twitter
stands going off on Twitter about that comment this is something I'd expect to see at a meet
and greet fair enough anyways this look is a rock so tops and bottoms this episode they're really
as you heard me talk about we're only two funny sets through and through Victoria's and silkies
so this did not surprise me at all and bottom two vanity and Rajah sure but we do have this
interesting dramatic moment where Victoria has to make the decision to send home silky's bestie
or her UK sister and silky is making the same but opposite decision and it's even more complicated
by this kind of showmance that we've seen develop a little bit between these two that I think is
really fun to watch and even more fun to watch culminate in the lip sync they did that ended with
unexpected but I liked it I'd watch that video and in fact I did watch that video on my patreon with
my patrons in my latest reaction video and bus stop episode where I talk all about moving the
housing market and all those type of things anyways click the link in the description to
join my patreon and help support the channel and see all kinds of exclusive content See you there
but Victoria wins rightly so and as it turns out nothing matters Brooke is going to keep both of
our bottom two this week I mean who could have saw that coming after Icesis left but I was happy that
no one was eliminated it was correct and probably necessary and now moving into the moment you've
all been waiting for hottest on the runway Vandy Milan I am a slip for a good reference and the
challenge Victorious go and I did also ask my patrons to vote on their hottest hunts in the
challenge and Runway this week they've given it to you Victoria scone or it's gone depending on
your preference but I'd love to know what you all thought about this episode and the progression of
