Summary

No one's safe at a roast, chickens--especially one this undercooked. This week, the queens practice first on each other, in one of the slightest reading mini-challenges of the series. (Well, unless you ask Alexis.) Then they set their sights on a supposedly unsuspecting Michelle Visage. While Peppermint hits all the right notes and Sasha's Jersey jokes leave us feeling very edified, half of the girls rely on characters that are nowhere near Ru's good cousin from the Brewster Projects. (To say nothing of a "wicked" dud of a closing act.) A lifeless lip sync only serves to remind us just how much better this challenge worked on Season 5.

Now, a little birdie told me that you were a little missed off by the reading challenge.

0:22.0

I just thought some of my sisters could have come up with

some more original material. Oh, you were more disappointed than MIST. Now the truth is,

0:59.3

we're all laughing together.

1:01.3

Right.

1:02.3

But that's the thing about comedy and a lot of times especially people

1:04.8

have been through hell and high water with an issue. The only way to get through it is to

1:09.6

friggin laugh at it. That's true.

1:11.6

Mm-hmm. because look you survived.

1:14.0

Yeah.

1:15.0

So I think that there's some really interesting questions that are getting brought up here in terms of Alexis's sensitivity about her body image reads during the mini challenge this week.

1:26.2

What, I'm curious, what are your, what are your thoughts on her reaction?

1:30.0

Oh, man.

1:32.0

So, Oh man. So I understand her reaction. I do. I totally get it. I think body image is one that many, gay men myself included you know struggles and

1:46.4

struggled with and we've talked about this in the past. The only rub that I have is like the whole challenge is a reading challenge.

1:57.0

That's what the glasses are for. It's to create a kind of almost a safe space to be like, okay, the rules have changed and now we're coming for each other a little bit.
