Rupaul's Drag Race, Episode 6: "Oh No She Betta Don't"
It was a good old fashioned rap battle as the remaining queens split into teams to rap on Ru's newest track, "Oh No She Betta Don't." First though, the library was open and the reading challenge further differentiated the strong queens from the not so strong queens and there were a few new rivalries that sort of seemed to spring up out of nowhere.
When the queens came back into the work room, Darienne was over DeLa and her bragging about having won two challenges. So, Ben has the right to brag a little a bit. It's a big deal to win two main challenges. Does anyone really think that Darienne Lake will outlast Ben? Anyone? Bueller? That's what I thought.
Mini challenge time! Yes everyone. The library is open and reading is fundamental. Initially, I was surprised when Darienne Lake won the challenge. I totally expected it to be Bianca, or maybe Adore. After thinking about it for a little bit, I realized I shouldn't have been surprised. Darienne is a bitch. A terrible, horrible bitch. She has little to no talent, which is why she is so threatened by DeLa. There is nothing wrong with being a bitch, per se. Bianca is a bitch, but Bianca is a bitch with a heart. Darienne is just a bitch. This also continued to show how weak Laganja and Trinity are compared to the other queens. Trinity reading yourself rather than reading the other queens doesn't show that you are a good sport or self deprecating, it just shows that you are a dimwit. Laganja, Laganja, Laganja. First off, where the fuck did those idiotic glasses come from? Couldn't use the glasses the other queens were using? That wouldn't have given you enough attention would it? We couldn't have that. Gross.
So, Darienne wins the challenge and it's another team challenge. Darienne picks the usual suspects, Adore, Bianca, Courtney and... Laganja. Wait. I've missed a step. I know you hate Ben and her bragging ways, but Laganja? That leaves Ben, Milk, Trinity and Joslyn on the other team. The challenge is to perform a '90's style rap to RuPaul's new single, "Oh No She Betta Don't."
Laganja is sure that she will prevail in this challenge, because she can finally show off her mad choreography skillz. Except, they are not that great. Adore hits the nail on the head when she says that the popping and locking that Laganja is doing, is not '90's rap. Adore is really growing on me. I really thought that she was annoying at first, but now I'm kind of falling in love with her. She's sort of a mess and not all the way together, but there is something about her that is awesome.
Darienne and her team the Panty Hos are up first. They are getting some coaching from rapstresses, Trina and Eve. The Panty Hos are really strong except for Darienne and Laganja. Darienne is knocking shit over, she can't get her shit together. It's a mess. Laganja doesn't know what she's doing. Adore is great. She has a good flow. She really brings the spirit of it. It's impressive. She shines.
The other team, The Ru Tang Clan, is kind of meh. Trinity is a downer and a doubter of herself from the jump, immediately telling Trina and Eve that she doesn't know what she's doing, so if she fucks up, she's sorry. I LOL'ed at Milk's diary room proclamation. "A disclaimer, girl? Really?" It's a self-fulfiling prophecy and Trinity flounders. Milk doesn't do so well, herself. Apparently, '90's rap girl translates to dressing like Will Smith from his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air days. And that rap? "If you're looking for a dude or you're in the preggers mood?" Yikes.
Before judging, Bianca shows her human side and lets Adore borrow her spare waist cincher, which Michelle is all about. It's no surprise when Adore wins the challenge. She killed it and totally deserved her first win. I was a little surprised when Milk ended up in the bottom two. I really think that Darienne should have been there with Trinity. Once the lip sync started, I just knew that Trinity had this one. The song was perfect. Trinity had the moves. Milk was just really out of her element. I love Milk and was sad to see her sashay away. There's always All-Stars.
So, what did you all think? Is Adore growing on you? Are you still loving Bianca? Is Courtney resting on pretty and how shady when she said that Bianca wasn't pretty? Jealous much? Is Laganja grating on your last nerve? Let me know in the comments.
