It’s starting to feel like we’re in a loop.

Drag-RaceFrom the minute Jimbo announced that she was going to be playing Shirley Temple, I was pretty sure of her win. It’s a perfect choice.

The first group had me extremely worried, but the second group does a lot better. Alexis’s Bea Arthur seems perfectly calibrated to delight Ru, with references to George Peppard that might be lost on the show’s younger audience, and a reliably sour face. Kandy and Lala both choose reality-TV personalities, with the former doing Renee Graziano from. Both of these are passable, and both queens always have a joke when Ru sets one up for them.

Then we get to the drama of the episode. Kahanna brings up that she felt badly about how Heidi treated her in the Snatch Game, which Heidi apologizes for, and then Kandy jumps in, saying Heidi told Jimbo that Kandy said she’d come for Jimbo. It’s a big game of she-said-she-said, and it’s not particularly thrilling since none of it happened on camera.

On the runway, the category is a classic “Show us your best Ruveal” moment. Jessica cycles through three looks, and her first two are pretty lame, but her final, fried egg-themed number is very cute. Kahanna walks out wearing very little clothing, which forces us to ask “how can she possibly do a reveal?” and it turns out the answer is that she will simply end up naked. Hot! Jaymes does a Muppet into a gown into a bodysuit into a bathing suit, all of which are pretty ill-fitting.

Jimbo rightly wins her third challenge, and lip syncs against season 14’s Jasmine Kennedie to “Hallucinate” by Dua Lipa. It was nice to see Jasmine, new mug and all, but when Jimbo almost slips mere seconds into the song, it ruins any stakes this lip sync may have had, and they weren’t that high already. This queen can. not. lip. sync. Not that it matters, because both Jessica and Kahanna get to stay due to Heidi’s quit.
