We want the next drag superstar to be someone who can give us the best of their love. We don’t want to watch the kind of infighting among allies that infects our social media feeds, however telegenic the fighters. We don’t want the next drag superstar to be an angry, vengeful villain. Are these queens more substance than style? Contribute! No deal, for now. What we love about this show is its flashes of defiant beauty, its bruises of deep courage and self-discovery, and Ross Mathews. Moving on! Everyone looked their best, the conversation sparkled, difficult subjects were avoided, and we felt the first squirts of oxytocin bond us to this exciting new group of queens. The self-proclaimed triple threat Blair St. Clair showed us that her dancing is certainly no threat, and her acting at best a passive-aggressive text. Besides, this opportunity could have been used to check Yuhua Hamasaki for not putting her best drag forward (we agree with Michelle, that was a basic look) and for mouthing off to the judges on the runway. Last week’s premiere episode was like a great first date. The collective effect was that of Ashlee Simpson’s apoplectic “Saturday Night Live” jig, but the mood was lively, and the queens served as authentic a “country” experience as the single merited. We’re watching now, closely, and we hope you can keep the polish at the same level as the hysteria you have a penchant for drumming up. “There’s probably some record-label head who’s going to read this and be like, A Guide to Conservatorships (and Why Everyone Is Talking About Them). ““Y’all really think I’m gonna leave it to you?” Reject expert intelligence and go with your gut, Vixen. Kalorie’s lip sync was sweet, but comparatively empty, and she sashayed away to an unhappy ending. Is this feminism? Her cute Cookie Monster ensemble with a Janet Jackson–inspired bodysuit-tearaway moment may have been narratively confusing to guest judge Padma Lakshmi, but it was full-on gag to us. Cracker can’t be cracked, at least not yet. We’d be remiss to pop our tongues and not mention the legendary Alyssa Edwards, fully in her element here as guest Bitchy Choreographer while Todrick is off slaying. We’re being hard on this queen because the competition this year is truly on another level. Aquaria’s cultivated “unshakable cool girl” deal? Britney Spears Loses Court Bid to Suspend Father’s Conservatorship. And it is frightening to think that they may not be out there. The big story by the end of last week’s premiere centered on Miz Cracker, the New York comedy queen who fell just short of victory against Mayhem Miller, though Cracker certainly garnered the lioness’s share of attention with her cleverly personified Drag on a Dime look and her right-on-the-money banter with RuPaul and the rest of the judges. Aquaria tries to downplay her frustration in front of Miz Cracker and is obviously unprepared to have the conversation right at that moment, but she vaguely alludes to their not-that-similar makeup looks, which has happened before, but like, it doesn’t bother her or anything! This week’s opening minutes are light and fun as the queens walk into the workroom distraught over Vanessa’s departure. For the mini-challenge, our Sylph King Ru fluttered into the workroom trailed by wicked wood sprite Andy Cohen, who sprinkled our queens with painfully scripted-sounding “asides” and, apparently, the juice of his conflama (“Conflict plus drama. On RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 Episode 2, the queens put on a musical about drugs, and Eureka comes to terms with the trauma over her previous injury. Yes ma'am, we have to go there. We understand giving Vixen the hoedown mini-challenge win, even if it was pretty unearned, because who truly cares about the mini-challenges? Because bitch, if you didn’t know, she is from Chicago! - Season 10, Episode 2 - Episode 2: “Can I suggest something?” “Can we just read through it out loud?” “Can we have a team name?” Look, I’m all for women raising their voices and seizing positions of power, but this is a maxi-challenge and time is short, and, however undemocratically elected, there is a team leader. Team Asia was well ahead in the polls, having prepared moves in advance, and although Kalorie Karbdashian Williams lacked the energy her name would betoken, they seemed to be a platform-shoe-in for the win. Love it or hate it, a viral video about the election, based on a certain Marvel movie scene, might be a defining image of our quar-brained culture. She is now in a powerful position as the “Whistle-blower” of the season (a title bestowed upon her by Talking Head queen diva Monét), and it’s now clear that she is gunning for that villain edit.

From #FreeBritney to Kanye West, here’s what you need to know. She clicks “Detonate” on the bitch right then and there, loudly interjecting to explain that Aquaria feels straight-up ripped off by Cracker, and she’s done been feeling this way, even outside the competition. Bert Kreischer, the Man Behind the Machine. We see some truly great footage of Michelle Visage cracking Ru up with her “Miss Vanjie” runs, and after some more friendly ribbing on Monét X Change’s sponge-centric runway look, the conversation quickly turns to Aquaria and Cracker. But to look at everyone on that runway and decide she was the most impressive all-around is unconscionable, and if you disagree, then We, Matt and Bowen, Will Fight You.
