Some of the recent seasons’ worst, most intolerable challenges have been improv-based.
’ consistent theme “How far are you willing to go to win?” were running low. This week, they managed to get some drama that the show had never shown before. RuPaul counseling the girls is certainly nothing new; girls like Plastique Tiara were basically held at gunpoint and forced to cry about their trauma to Mama Ru. But her coming in to remind the girls why they’re in the competition and lift their spirits is different. There was no one-on-one counseling; this was a group session. Fascinating.
This week is no exception. Even when I acknowledged that someone was doing well, I didn’t actually laugh out loud, and most of the failures just amounted to “You didn’t push it far enough.” That’s not particularly entertaining one way or the other. Anyway, Kahanna and Alexis’s respective breakdowns lead to the Ru intervention, which is pretty compelling stuff. For all the times that people have gotten annoyed at Ru, called her problematic, called her the true villain of the show, etc., over the years, she’s still a fantastic TV host. The best in the game, in fact. The come to Jesus moment to the whole group is a fabulous, impromptu speech that re-inserts some life into what was about to be a completely dead challenge and episode.
