Hi Ugly!
It’s me, Bussy and welcome back to HOT or ROT!
And today we’ll be reviewing episode 10 of Rupaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 6
where we finally learn where the game, within a game, within a game, within a game, within
a game, within a game, within a game is!
Turns out our eliminated queens have been lip syncing against each other competing to
return to the competition, provided of course they can win enough lip syncs.
It very much reminded me of like the mortal combat challenge hour if you ever played that
game.
And one of our eliminated queens in particular miss Silky Nutmeg Ganache, served more fatalities
than all of her other sisters combined.
She did so well that some fans were calling rigga morris online alleging that she had
an unfair advantage and that production helped place props for her lip syncs.
And then Yara Sofia chimed in on instagram with her opinion on the matter, adding a little
bit of conspiracy fuel to the fire.
But both Silky and Jan have been very vocal on twitter and in interviews setting the story
straight.
#justiceforsilky.
We’ll be covering all of that drama as we briefly break down each of the lip syncs round
by round and decide if the judges made the right calls.
There's a lot to get everybody synced up with today so let’s get started.
Round 1: FIGHT!
It’s Serena Cha Cha versus Jiggly Caliente.
They lip sync to Free Your Mind and firstly I just want to say they both looked totally
gorgeous.
Jiggly gave what I think was like a masterclass in how to perform a tight lip sync.
She was 100% in vogue.
There was hairography, there were splits, the right facial expressions were there the
entire time - she killed it.
But Serena did too; she just had a different approach.
She was a little campier, bounced around a lot more, used every inch of the stage and
had a reveal.
Ultimately though I think the point at which Serena lost the lip sync was when she started
to mismatch her facial expressions and movements with the energy of the song.
For example when she came from the far back of the stage doing that crazy frog hop thing
she had this big kind of like goofy smile on her face.
That was very much giving me like cheerleader or drill team vibes which isn't necessarily
a bad thing but I just don’t think it was right for this song in particular.
That said they both killed it and get a HOT from me.
So the judges make what I think was the right call and Jiggly moves on to the next round
to lip sync against Doctor Reverend Silky Nutmeg the Guru Ganache PhD.
And they lip sync to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and boy do they ever.
Uhhhhhhhhooowwwww!
Ow!
Oh my god the Jaymes Mansfield jumping out.
Oh!
OH!
Oh!
OH!
So.
This is the beginning of prop-gate if you will.
It started out I think extremely evenly matched.
Both girls were turning and stunting this song - that was until Silky got thirsty.
She starts reaching into her Mary Poppins bra and she pulls out a cup, some ice cubes,
a labelless mixer and a mystery liquor bottle - probably Crown.
Well what would a little lady like me know about whisky?
And Silky doing all of this - iconic.
She becomes the bartender drag queen we never knew we needed.
And yes Silky I’ll make it a double.
It is at this point when Silky is making and drinking her drink that she totally takes
over the lip sync.
Jiggly’s performance continues to be good but there was just no competing with that
type of gag Silky pulled out of her bra.
And as a fun fact Silky told Entertainment Weekly in an interview that she originally
brought ingredients for a drink as props for a roast challenge.
Both girls get HOTS from me but I think Silky was the clear winner and she moves on to Round
3 - where she faces off against Yara Sofia.
Both of these queens are pretty good dancers and they both have reveals which worked to
I think varying degrees of success here.
Silky’s was great because she revealed all of that crazy fringe and like hello this outfit
was meant to be danced in, and Yara reveals to show off the body which was kind of not
really a surprise.
Silky’s prop in this lip sync is a water bottle and not because she was thirsty but
because she was feeling a little HOT!
So you know why not cool off mid-lip sync with a bottle of water?
And I do want to say I don't think this prop won her this lip sync but I do think it was
a fun gag.
I think her higher energy overall is what actually won this round for her.
Cause Yara starts out great but near the end you kind of see her start to die a little
bit.
She gives up and becomes a little blank in the face.
And you know I’m not sure if she was just tired from the day, I mean god knows she probably
was or if she realized that she just really had no chance at actually beating Silky.
Turns out it may have been that second one because she wrote this on instagram after
the episode had aired: “when they asked me to do this Game in a Game...I said yes
even though I honestly knew they would have Silky all the way to the end.
I’m not saying she didnt work her a[__] off - she worked it out, but on top of that
she had the narrative of being “meh” in her original season.
I’m glad this season is giving her so much love.
She deserves it.
Congratulations for winning this “Props for your” I mean “Lip sync for your legacy”.
And I oop!
Girl I’m going to call a little bit of shade there but turns out she was right.
Silky was so HOT she needed to cool off and Yara I think started off hot, finished at
a warming up.
Silky wins as Yara thought she was going to but I think rightfully so regardless.
I guess you could say they were in a bit of a hairy situation which reminds me - today’s
video is sponsored by Manscaped - the premiere brand for Men’s grooming and hygiene products

Now let’s get back to it.
Round 4: Scarlet Envy enters the chat and they lip sync to Song for the Lonely by Cher.
And firstly b[____], this look that Scarlet is in.
This gorgeous gag that she had the audacity the gumption the gall the nerve to bring on
stage?
It makes me want to quit drag right now.
Like why am I even doing this when she looks like that?
Anyways this lip sync I think is an interesting one that maybe could be argued either way.
When I watch lip syncs my favorite thing to look at is what are the queens doing with
their faces?
Are they embodying the artist with their facial expressions?
Or are they just lip syncing?
In my opinion Scarlet literally was Cher on that stage and in terms of raw lip sync I
think Scarlet won without a doubt.
Don’t get me wrong Silky did well but I just dont think she matched Scarlet’s level
of dedication to the song.
I think the judges gave Silky the win though because she had yet another trick up her sleeve,
girl this time she had a little flag to wave which she tweeted that she made out of an
umbrella, scrap fabric, spray paint and glitter - which hey, I’ll give it to her.
This is definitely a unique prop for a lip sync and I probably think this was a lot more
impressive live on stage.
Keep in mind the judges are watching this lip sync happen in real time.
They probably saw a full 3 minutes and in that full 3 minutes of song they watched Scarlet
do the exact same thing.
So they probably got tired of what scarlet was doing and were happy to see Silky switching
things up.
But let me know what you thought about it - were you living for Scarlet or Silky?
Scarlet and Silky both get a HOT from me.
And in the next round my fellow gays this is what we call a bye week.
Learned that from my sports days.
A’keria has opted to not come back and play the game within a game giving Silky the win
by default.
And honestly this shook me a little bit.
A’keria being the competitive pageant queen that she is I really expected her to come
back and turn the hell out a lip sync but it’s no secret that the judges kind of overlooked
her the entire time she was there.
I mean she basically got zero credit for the way she turned the hell out of that runway
every single week.
Girl that little flower thing she did #nerverforgetit.
So all of that considered I do respect her choice and girl, if miss Rupaul popped up
on that screen while I was literally in the middle of de-dragging asking me if I wanted
to get back in drag and go and lip sync I’d probably be having second thoughts too.
Anyways despite A’keria not being there Silky requests to lip sync anyways and gives
us the most iconic performance of All Stars thus far.
Maybe right under Laganja’s lip sync to Barbie Girl.
And I will say I was a little nervous here when this started because she was wearing
basically a recreation of Jasmine Masters’ Holislay outfit but ended up revealing to
this like half boy half girl drag insane costume which she uses to play the two different parts
in the song.
Brilliant.
That PhD girl hard at work on this stage tonight!
But then she told Entertainment Weekly in that interview that she made the mustache
for the boy’s side of this look from the wig that she was eliminated in.
And ultimately I think this lip sync was more than just a good lip sync from Silky.
I believe it was crucial in proving to the judges that she had the drive and determination
and the wherewithal to compete if she were to make it back into the top 5.
Silky’s solo obviously gets a HOT!
And now onto round 6 which will probably go down as one of the most controversial lip
syncs of all time.
Silky and Jan lip sync to Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar.
And this lip sync was wild so I’m going to break it down into three different acts
for you.
Act 1: a total mess.
They both have wig reveals that don’t really make any sense like Silky just randomly throws
her wig off in the like the first 5 seconds of the song and then Jan with all of the might
that she has in her body slams her knees onto the stage and slides to the front, breaking
the lights, pulling a Robbie Turner and then proceeds to go into her hairography losing
her wig in the process.
It was wild.
And the thing is what Jan did could have been really rock and roll and appropriate for this
song but I think the way the giant chunk of
light was like flying off the stage was distracting
not only for the judges but for us watching at home.
Thankfully though moving into Act 2 the lip sync really turns around and Jan...oh my god
- she is 100% this song.
Like she is giving us all that raw emotion and hate that she has for that judging panel
for playing those mental games with her all season and I was like b[___], Jan has it she’s
gunna win.
And Silky was turning it out too but I was like Jan has it.
And finally Act 3 of this lip sync we get guitar solo with no lyrics and from literally
nowhere Silky goes and grabs a guitar.
*gay chuckle* Jan unfortunately for her is left to play the air guitar.
And it is at this point that Silky wins the lip sync for me because first of all - total
gag.
Where did she get that?
I didn't even see her put that over there.
And then the way she destroyed it at the end was just the perfect ending to this song and
you could literally see in that last couple of frames Jan is just like looking over there
pissed as hell - at least that’s how I perceived it - knowing that because of that gag and
the way the judges were laughing that she lost the lip sync.
But of course this is where the fans got all riled up.
One twitter user wrote, “Silky did good but clearly she was able to get stuff cause
she had to wait while the other girls didn’t..like versus Jan.
She didn’t have a made guitar sitting around”.
Silky replied saying, “That’s not a true or fair statement.
We all had the same amount of time to prepare for the lip sync.
Rock and Roll is not my style of music so I put extra effort into that.
Please don’t diminish my efforts because I beat your favorite girl.”
And another fan wrote, “@silky where did you pull the guitar from, that’s the one
thing I’m still left asking.
Where?”
To which Silky replied, “It was in that big coat.
The reason I wore that $1200 ruffled coat.”
And in her Entertainment Weekly interview she further clarified, “I placed it off
to the side.
The way I did it you wouldn’t have seen it.
I don’t think Jan or Rupaul saw it because of the way I placed it.”
The fans continued to sound off on twitter upset that Jan lost.
Jan posted this on twitter in response, “hey y’all!
Yesterday’s episode was absolutely awesome, and really featured my sister Silky who literally
smashed it.
We’re all so excited and proud of her.
Do not go and ruin the fun by sending her hate of any kind.”
Sisters supporting sisters we love to see it.
And Silky further clarified on twitter later that day.
“All the props were made by me using my creativity.
I wasn't allowed any assistance and I had to bring it on stage myself.
I’m a guru because I set the standard.
I treated every lip sync like a grand finale.”
So there you go - no rigga morris just hard core determination to win.
PROPS to you mama!
Jan and Silky both get a HOT.
And that takes us to round 7: Silky versus Pandora Boxx, they lip sync to Focus.
This one’s pretty clear cut.
I don't think this song was really in Pandora's wheelhouse, she looked a little out of place
performing it but gave her best.
And as silky mentioned in her Entertainment Weekly interview, this is actually a song
that she would be performing anyways.
So she was naturally right at home in her converse high tops but not props this time
just great dance skills.
Side note though did anyone else notice this lip sync happened on the same night that they
also did Eureka’s lip sync?
While on the other hand all of the other lip syncs occurred on the night that the queen’s
were actually eliminated.
The timing there is interesting but I don't have any tea on it let me know if you do.
Anyways yeah Silky’s win makes sense here.
Silky HOT Pandora ROT.
So she moves on to round 8 against Eureka and they lip sync to Since You Been Gone.
This one was I think a little bit of a let down compared to some of the earlier really
amazing lip syncs that we saw.
Silky’s doing this weird thing where she’s eating potato chips and wearing what appears
to be like an inflatable trash bag and then starts to elaborate that she’s telling the
journey of her mother’s weight loss, which is a great homage but it didn’t translate.
Eureka though is performing the house down boots I will say she was slamming her p[____]
on the ground really doing a great job but then her wig starts to fall off and Silky
gets stuck in her costume and then they start Eureka’s monologue about how she’s wearing
her mother’s life alert necklace and I’m like girl what on gay earth is going on here?
All things considered this lip sync was honestly a little messy on both sides.
It seems like both of them were trying to do homages to their mothers but neither of
the homages translated into a visual story that made sense to us as viewers.
And concerning Silky’s trash bag moment I think she probably got caught up in the
mindset of needing to one up herself considering all the other crazy props and gags that she
brought for her lip syncs.
So instead of one upping she may as well just have KO’d herself - video game jokes.
Get it?
Silky’s food here has gotten a bit ROT and Eureka I will leave at a warming up.
And they leave the game within a game on a cliffhanger.
I was pissed about that I was so mad!
And if you wanna see me get mad and react to all of those lip syncs I did post my full
reaction to this episode over on my patreon at patreon.com/bussyqueen.

In conclusion of today’s episode, Silky got the power hour that I think she truly deserved but
let me know down in the comments below who do you think won that final lip sync battle? Was
it Eureka or Silky? And finally it’s time for my hottest HOT. My favorite lip sync smackdown
tonight goes to…………. Barbie Girl by Silky. And I also asked my patrons to vote for their hottest
smackdown. They too voted for Silky’s Barbie Girl lip sync. As always I want to say thanks to you
for watching this video and my generous patrons that make my channel possible. I also want to
