Sminty avoids having to lip sync, which is something of a surprise: not only does she garble lyrics in the performance, but her runway is a very similar silhouette to the ones she showed last week. The team-win structure does indeed screw Baby out of a victory, although she and Peppa get the most positive critiques among the losing group. The Queens of the Bone Age make their main stage debut with “Come Alive” Credit: Courtesy World of Wonder Reader, if you haven’t already, I implore you to go watch the Triple Threats’ rendition of “Come Alive” and see the absolute deer-in-the-headlights look Starlet is insisting is her showing confidence. ![]() This at least demonstrates a sense of awareness from Sminty, while Starlet says, entirely seriously, that she felt she was confident during their performance. Sminty actually cries over her failure to lip sync properly, knowing how much the challenge means to her teammate. They actually go first in the challenge, and there are enough obvious screw-ups that Baby is upset backstage after. If there was any doubt that the Queens of the Bone Age were the best, the Triple Threats’ reaction is enough to solidify it. The whole team takes the win, and it’s not a close contest. Le Fil, Cheddar and Danny are the tops among the group, while I would say Copper is the biggest beneficiary of the correct group selection. From costuming to how their verses flow together, they feel like a cohesive group. Armed with strong choreography from Le Fil, who is an absolute star in this episode, the Queens of the Bone Age are the clear winners of the week. Harry should be quite proud based on what Dakota and her group do this week. She cares deeply about making Harry proud, and that’s what keeps her going in the competition. It takes me back to being young in school, and having to play a straight person.”) This discussion with Dakota tells us a lot about her and her motivations-she cares a lot about making her twin, Harry, with whom she first came out as queer at 15 before later having to come out on her own as a trans woman at 19. (Never forget Vanity Milan’s all-time wildest transition: “Do you know what’s funny about the Snatch Game is, you had to play a character. I’ll give it to this cast: they are already vastly superior in organically approaching mirror moment talk, vis-à-vis the UK Season 3 cast. No one is worse, however, than Jonbers, whom Leland helpfully describes as recording a verse in which “time does not exist.” She is utterly without rhythm, and it takes the team a ton of time just to get her words matched to the song.Īll of this carries through to the performance, which follows a lovely mirror moment about Dakota’s twin sibling. Specifically, Starlet struggles while recording, and Sminty prepares herself a mouthful with a too-wordy verse. While all the Queens of the Bone Age get good edits while laying down their verses, the Triple Threats encounter some major issues. Unfortunately for Baby, all that starts to come crashing down during the recording session with Leland and Freddy Scott. Starlet struggles in the recording session for this season’s girl groups challenge Credit: Courtesy World of Wonder So while she may be a stronger single performer than anyone on Dakota’s team, the Queens of the Bone Age, she needs her group to come through for her to be in contention for a RuPeter Badge. ![]() Team selection is half the battle on this one, as Baby can’t write everyone’s verses. This continued with UK Season 3, despite “ B.D.E.” falling far short of the high standards set in the two prior seasons. Yes, perhaps Tayce and Bimini deserved the wins most, but everyone was so good, why not give Lawrence Chaney and A’Whora wins as well? And so the RuPeter Badge inflation continued, with four queens winning one together. Everyone was eager to get back into things, and a bit on edge (this is the episode that features RuPaul’s “fucking H&M” rant), which makes what the United Kingdolls pulled off with “ UK Hun?” all the more impressive. The next girl groups challenge would come in UK Season 2’s fifth episode, the first filmed after COVID-19 forced production into a hiatus. So, for the first time in Drag Race herstory, three queens got a win for one performance: Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea and Divina de Campo. The Frock Destroyers’ “ Break Up (Bye Bye)” performance was such a phenomenal success-achieving off-show success as well!-that declaring just one winner among the three members seemed impossible. When it was first introduced in Season 1, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’s girl groups challenge was an unexpected smash.
