Previously on : After accumulating the technical problems, Wasps heard from Nikki the fatal “Sashay, It’s Over”. And we have some (disco) balls for her. Sadly, Piche is more determined than ever to win the competition. Mami Watta is also at work: “I’m so determined this week that I decided to wear the fabric!”. We are speechless.
It complains with live ammunition
Mini challenge : it’s time forreading challenge“, because reading is essential! Sorry for non-English speakers, but even the writers of the program did not translate this cult line from RuPaul. “Reading” is a fun and colorful way to expose the flaws of a drag girl. Ginger Bitch having fun: “Mami Watta you were right to put on that hat. Every bin has its own lid Shadows! The young drag queen is also dressed for winter by Piche: “Mami Watta! Water spirit… waste.
Moon tries to face the bearded blond: “Piche, I am a gypsy, you are a gypsy, Esmeralda, Quasimodo, or rather Djali, the goat…” Always at a loss for jokes, Piche replies: “We’ll talk about it when you come and feel my goatee.” There is flirting in the air between these two, get a room! Puni too it is formidable in the exercise: “Kitty Space, you are right between April and June, May/mah…”. But… this is Piche winning the mini-challenge!
When Telematics encounter No mercy for croissants
Big challenge : Queens must play a parody of a morning show type Télématin, baptized The Croissant Showwhose title is a nod to the cult show of Club Dorothée, No mercy for croissants (if you grew up in the 80’s…).
Engine, drag! The Queens tape their segment, each in turn, under the keen eyes of Nikki and Daphne. Moon portrays an over-excited Miss Weather returning from the after party! Daphne takes on Sara Forever as a horny interviewer. “Thanks for feeling emotional for me, that doesn’t happen often these days!”. Obviously, Daphne is in lack of action at the moment…
Kitty Space struggles in this challenge. “I’m afraid of disappointing because for me disappointing means not being loved by others“, she says, with tears in her eyes. Mami Watta offers a slightly too salacious version for the judges (we’ve seen worse in the US version but hey!) of an ultra-camp gym teacher.
Drag and transidentity: the strong testimonies of Moon and Mami Watta
Confessions in the studio : Moon explains that drag allowed her to assert her femininity at a time in her life when she didn’t have the tools to understand their transgender. Then, in an emotional sequence, she trusts her depression and suicidal thoughts. “I was so sure I was the problem.” Moon started getting better on hormones less than a year ago. “After this hormonal process, I was no longer in survival mode, I was in life mode.”
In front of the camera, Piche does a pedagogical work remembering it trans people have the highest suicide rate in the LGBTQ+ community. “These are people who absolutely need to be protected. There is no hierarchy in protection but trans people are part of emergencies”. Guest of the last episode of “Drama Queens”, La Briochée, trans candidate for season 1, is moved: “I recognize myself a lot in his speech. Our courses are very close to each other.”
In turn, Mami Watta explains that she feels like a trans woman for several years, but cannot make the switch because her father is sick and she is afraid of him “kills him”. We feel the full weight of homophobia in her construction (she underwent conversion therapy). Keiona summarizes: “It’s difficult because we think that the people who are supposed to love us the most in the world can also make us the most miserable.” The testimony of Mami Watta he echoed on Twitter.
Let them dance!
No Kiddy Smile this week, but instead two chosen jurors: the fashion gossip boy, Loic Prigent and the Spanish icon, Rossy de Palma !
The theme of the week’s fashion show East The night of the 1000 Dalidas. DRAG DRAMA Alert! Kitty Space and Cookie Cunty went for the same look, the one the star wore for the song “Comme dit Mistinguett”, with a black bodysuit, bow tie and pink cape with ruffles. Kitty’s is more elaborate and pays homage to the diva’s heartache, but Cookie has a very dalidesque attitude and wig.
I fell in love with Punani’s outfit: she’s wearing a replica of Alain Mikli’s glasses designed for Dalida in 1985 and a sumptuous velvet sheath dress that Queen Paloma would not have denied. They did it again! Moon and Punani also have the same lookbut with a very different result. Honor (dragging) is safe.
Special mention to Ginger Bitch, which pays homage to the bust of Dalida. This Twitter thread goes over all the looks and their inspirations.
I diverge!
It’s time to discover our new favorite morning, “Le Croissant Chaud”! Sara Forever shines as a free-wheeling reporter, trying to seduce Daphne in a very unsubtle way. The Punani/Piche presenter duo works, but they could have been more accomplices. Fitness Queen Mami Watta is Coming to Lose Us”£67 in one minute” and we love it! They also vouch for Keiona and Moon, the former in the horoscope queen who clearly has her moon in Pisces, and the latter in the aftermath of Miss Weather. Kitty is less memorable as a telemarketing preposterous. We saved the funniest for last: Ginger Bitch as a drunken kitchen host (already a meme on the networks) next to Cookie Cunty, who tries to keep house. Thanks for this moment!
Verdict : Piche’s suspenders are pulled up by the jury because she wasn’t very precise in her news announcements. She leaves safely. The bottoms are Cookie Cunty, Kitty Space, Mami Watta and the tops have Keiona, Sara Forever and Ginger Bitch.
I disagree with the judges this week: Ginger Bitch, in an almost mute role, was quite brilliant, but she couldn’t have shined without Cookie, who excelled in the role of the turn lock. And in the words of Queen Rossy of Palma, “Don’t Touch My Mami Watta” Indeed ! Sara Forever earns her second win. Our French trinity The Tuck has the favor of the jury.
Lip-sync opposes Cookie Cunty and Kitty Space on Dalida’s “Let me dance.” Cookie is becoming a lip-sync killer : Possessed by Dalida’s spirit, send Kitty Space back to space! “I hope I made my Asian sisters proud. I am so proud to be the first Asian drag queen in drag race France. You have to prove that drag queen is different. throw the drag queen.
Who, who, who will be the queen?
My favorites remain Piche and Moon, but also Punani, whose femme fatale looks are matched only by her comedic talent. i love too Mami Wattawhich progresses from week to week and I find the judges a bit strict with her.
And she ?
