An excellent Rusical in which nobody really flops forces the judges to decide based on vibes.
Following this episode, it’s worth remembering the rubric queens are supposedly graded on: Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent. By that measure, Talent is just one-quarter of what you need to succeed. That’s a difficult thing to understand sometimes, as Talent is, first of all, by far the most measurable of the four. Second, it’s the one we tend to place the most value on owing to that measurability. And third, it’s the only one that can be improved by hard work.
Once the Rusical is announced, the queens must figure out the parts among themselves, which is always great fun. In fact, I’d argue that one of the best innovations of late-stagehas been moving away from Team Captains or a single person deciding on the winner of the challenge and instead just throwing it to the wolves. It’s just good TV.
Ru does walk-throughs this week, which is nice. I miss them when they’re not there; they always give good context to how Ru thinks of each queen. He talks with Sasha about her choice to play Carl, the villain’s nerdy husband, a part I knew she was going to kill from the moment she chose it. The most glamorous girl of the season going for a nerdy husband role? The judges eat that shit up. That’s part of why Sasha is, to me, the only winner of the season.
Rehearsals are mostly uneventful. Everybody is edited to be doing badly, per the uzh. Sasha is not shown rehearsing, I assume, because she never gave them the ability to pretend she was doing badly, which, last week excepted, is also per the uzh. The best part is almost certainly Mistress asking Luxx why the security tag is still on her coat — we need aOver half the episode is dedicated to the runway segment, because “Wigloose: The Rusical” is incredibly long.
Mistress is probably second in line for the win. She does a great job as the villainous preacher, wearing Sarah Huckabee Sanders drag and ferociously tirading. Her Velma Von Tussle heel turn at the end is good, too. She also has one of the best runways of the week, bedecked in bright yellow and serving high glamour. Mistress hasn’t depended on gowns this season, but my God this pageant queen knows how to turn one out when she wants to.
