Everything comes to an end, and here we are, hunties! Through cat fights and bitch fests to Snatch Games and Sugar Balls, we have witnessed the art of drag at it’s best on Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Ten queens later, we are left with the top three … Roxxxy Andrews, Jinkx Monsoon and Alaska. This week’s ultimate challenge tested them all, but we will have to wait for our queen, because producers are milking the hell out of it and not announcing the winner till the end of the reunion special in two weeks.

Final four. I never knew too much about basketball, but balls I am an expert on. And these four queens returned to the workroom after Coco’s elimination balls ablazing. With ROLASKATOX still in the competition so close to the end, Roxxxy made it clear that Jinkx was outnumbered and in their crosshairs. READ MORE

The truth? You can’t handle the truth! Coco and Alyssa were only on this season for the drama. Yes, they supplied us with giggles and sound bytes to impersonate over Citywide specials. But come on. The future of drag? Neither of these two pageant queens. So after last week’s elimination of Ms. Edwards, we knew it was time for Ms. Montrose’s swan song. READ MORE

A new episode! After last week’s hiatus, we found ourselves back in the workroom with a re-hashing of that old feud nobody cares about. From the jump, I knew the lip-sync battle America had been waiting for, between Coco and Alyssa, would finally come to fruition. Not because we care about their drama, but because we we’re all ready to see one of them sashay away. READ MORE

After the predictable “SHANTAY YOU BOTH STAY” last week, Roxxxy poured more of her heart out and the girls fumed that there were still seven sisters of sin left in the competition. Alaska reminded us she is the only one yet to win a challenge, while Coco waved her comedic win in the faces of the comedy queens. READ MORE

HUNTY GAMES: RUPAUL GETS ROASTED, ALASKA EMANCIPATES FROM ROLASKATOX

Every week, Philly drag chanteuse Tammy Faymous recaps the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.

When returning to the workroom, Coco warned the girls to watch their backs and Jinkx repeated her complaints about not being good enough. Alaska was still reeling from being read to shreds. Being called out for not being an individual, the 49th state decided it was time to show her true colors by abandoning ROLASKATOX. The next day ,when they enter the workroom, instead of screaming ROLASKATOX, Alaska screams her own name. After saying, “We cant do cliques its too dangerous.” This surprises the other girls and saddens Roxxxy and Detox, but they understand why. Good for Alaska. I mentioned last week that I thought this move would be necessary if she wanted to win, and I’m hoping this move takes our home-state beauty in the right direction. READ MORE
