Summary

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18, Episode 5, breaking down the Rate-A-Queen challenge, alliance strategy, and whether fans are overreacting to RuPaul's reaction to Briar fainting. They critique the judges’ looks, runway walks, padding choices, and Juicy’s repeated wigs, while Bob names his beauty queen of the season. They also rank the performances, call out the best number of the week, and ask if forming alliances actually paid off. Thanks to our sponsors: -Philo’s a better way to slay!
