Episode #2 - Memes Come True
Part One Scene: the werkroom, after Amanda’s elimination. The queens filter in, relieved to be back but sad to see their first sister leave. Big Dee reads out the message that Amanda left in lipstick on the mirror: “Jeans are not for glamour queens! Carry on dreaming my girls... I've banged you once and I'll bang you again. xo Amanda.” “Who knew that drag queens could spell?” Big Dee laughs as she wipes the lipstick off. The queens then turn to Yvie and congratulate her on surviving the lip sync. Yvie herself confesses that she’s starting to feel more like a member of the group now, but knows she can’t begin to get comfortable, “not in this little game.” As Cookie (having checked herself for splinters) runs around the werkroom slapping Rafaella on the bottom with Yvie’s towel, the queens also congratulate a joyful Eva on winning the first maxi challenge of the season, although Jessica remains silent. “I’ll be honest, I thought I had that in the bag,” Jessica says in a confessional. “My look was so much more detailed than Eva's and I was actually pretty shocked when Ru called her name instead of mine. But you know, it’s a long season, and we’ll see which of us has the last laugh in the end. Game on, squirrel friend.” The next morning, the queens gather for a brand new day of drag, and to celebrate the occasion, Valentine does a forward roll into the werkroom. They’re met there by boy Ru, who announces this week’s mini challenge: in teams, the queens must get into quick drag and recreate some famous dramatic Drag Race moments. The queens are allowed to pick their own teams: Eva, Drü and Lady Boi team up, Honey and Nicole run straight towards each other and rope in Cookie to make three, Big Dee, Jessica and VinChelle link arms and Bombalicious, Rafaella, Valentine and Yvie, realising they’re the ones left, have no choice but to make the fourth team. “Maybe I’m not such a part of the group after all,” mumbles a dejected Yvie. The scenes are as follows:
After each group performs their scenes, Ru gathers the girls and announces that the winners are Team Cookie, Honey and Nicole. At this moment, the real Mimi Imfurst bursts into the werkroom and demands royalties for the use of her likeness. |

Episode #2 - Memes Come True
Part Two Ru then announces that, of their team, Cookie and Nicole stood out especially, and that they will therefore be the two competing team captains in this week’s main challenge: an ever-so-slightly self-referential lip sync musical extravaganza paying tribute to some of the best-known RuPaul’s Drag Race memes. Ru announces that each queen will play a different Drag Race character, and that as team captains, it was up to Cookie and Nicole to pick their teams. As the MVP in the mini challenge, Nicole would get to choose first, and therefore have an extra member in her team. The teams, in the order that they’re chosen, are as follows: Team Nicole Nicole Lynn Foxxx Honey Davenport Valentine Addams Eva Young Big Dee Yvie Oddly Drü Holiday Team Cookie Cookie Kunty Rafaella Pop Jessica L’Whor VinChelle Lady Boi Bombalicious Eklaver Drü says in a confessional that she isn’t sure why she was picked last. “Maybe it’s because I’m young. Maybe it’s because I don’t lip sync as much as the other queens. Maybe they just don’t like my makeup. Whatever it is, now’s the perfect opportunity to stand out.” She, Yvie and Eva high five as they get to work learning their team’s script and assigning the roles. Nicole takes her leadership position seriously, and quickly gives each queen her character before asking if anyone has any complaints. Everyone seems happy, especially Honey with her role of Latrice Royale (“yaaaaaas!”), although Big Dee later takes Valentine aside and whispers if she noticed if it was odd that Nicole immediately took the biggest role, Jasmine Masters, for herself. “To be fair, I’d do the same thing if I were her,” Valentine replies. “Get them coins, bitch.” Over on the other team, Cookie decides to let the queens chose their roles for themselves, which leads to some confusion when both Jessica and Lady Boi go for the role of Valentina. Jessica tries to convince Lady Boi to allow her the role by shouting “IT’S ME, BALENTINA!” in her best worst Spanish accent, but eventually backs down and begrudgingly accepts the role of Phi Phi O’Hara. At the same time, Bombalicious is sat giving her team stink eye, possibly in frustration with their time-wasting but also with her role of Thorgy Thor (“I wanted Laganja Estranja, she has a much better part”, she explains in a confessional, and now has her script face down on the table in protest). Once roles have been assigned and lines have been learnt, the teams take to the main stage to rehearse the choreography for their respective numbers. There, they are met by the dancing queen of Texas, Kennedy Davenport, who is ready to teach them their routines. First up are Team Cookie, and all goes relatively well until Bombalicious’ solo segment, where it becomes clear that she hasn’t memorised her part as well as the other girls. “It’ll come to me,” a somewhat bored-looking Bombalicious keeps saying, before Kennedy snaps. “Nah bitch, this ain’t the time for it to come to you. You gotta be ready now,” she says, staring intensely at Bombalicious as she does so. Lady Boi follows on from Bombalicious and shows her how it should be done, with Jessica watching on from the sidelines, looking a tad jealous that she isn’t Valentina. Once the team finish, VinChelle says that Bombalicious needs to put her personal peeves aside and find a way to bring it on the night, or she could sink the whole team with her attitude. “I don’t want some Titanic situation up in here! I don’t want to be no Kate Winslet!” Team Nicole are next, and Big Dee confesses that although choreography isn’t her strong suit and she’s slightly afraid of messing up in the group routine, her solo segment requires minimal movement, so “fingers crossed the judges just look at that and don’t pay attention to the rest of it.” Yvie, determined to impress after last week, shows Kennedy some improvised choreography that she thought she’d bring to her role of Coco Montrese, and gets the thumbs up. Kennedy also gets her life from Nicole’s Jasmine Masters, during which Big Dee and Valentine share a knowing look. However, Kennedy asks Valentine to give a “larger than life” performance of Stacy Layne Matthews, “because at the moment I’m getting Stacy Layne Matth-snooze.” Finally, the time comes to rehearse the group segment. Most of the queens show themselves to be capable of the fast choreography, but as she feared, Big Dee falls behind, and loses her place in the routine completely when she manages to kick her shoe off and fall into Eva at the same time. “Girl, I know you playing Charlie Hides, but you don’t have to take the method acting that far,” Kennedy advises, before realising that Big Dee really is that bad at choreography. “They’re gonna me-me her ass off,” she warns. |

Episode #2 - Memes Come True
Part Three The next day, and with the upcoming elimination playing on their minds, the queens work on perfecting their Best Drag looks for this week’s runway. Rafaella shows off her outfit, an expensive-looking blue gown, to the other queens. “How many sugar daddies did you have to get through to be able to afford that?” asks a stunned Valentine. Honey delicately brushes the oversized cartoon wig that she plans to wear and Jessica sorts through the paint she’ll apply to her face to create her look, while several queens gush over Bombalicious’ ornate dress, which reflects her Asian heritage. “I didn’t care much for this challenge,” Bombalicious says to the camera as she displays the dress on her work station. “I don’t like working in teams, so this wasn’t a fun week for me. I haven’t even learned the lip sync yet. But I figured that I could totally bomb in the challenge and still get through if I show the judges what I can do on the runway, and in my opinion, this is the best drag they’ll see tonight. Mark my words.” Across the werkroom, Nicole confesses to Yvie that she’s beginning to get worried. “I'm seeing all these gorgeous looks,” she says, looking around the room, “and I know mine isn’t up to that standard. I’m a little scared that the judges will think my look is basic, and then it's as if my performance in the challenge will have been for nothing.” Yvie gives Nicole a hug and reminds her that it takes all kinds of drag to make a world. Elsewhere, Drü talks to Lady Boi about how her look is “classic Drü Holiday” and how she hopes that the judges will get her style of drag, as she was safe last week and didn’t have the chance to be critiqued. “I really want to stamp my name onto this competition,” she confesses, “and there’s no better time like the present, is there?” As the runway approaches, Lady Boi notices some gold jewellery atop Bombalicious’ work station. “I have the exact same jewellery, girl, snap. I was going to wear mine tonight but I couldn’t find it. Where did you get it?” Bombalicious’ eyes dart around the room, and she pauses before saying that she inherited it from her grandmother. Lady Boi nods tentatively, and says in a confessional, “I’m not saying she stole my jewellery, but I’m not not saying the bitch stole my jewellery. Girl, your dress is already stunning, you don’t need to mop my jewellery! What do you think you’re playing at?” Ru walks down the runway and welcomes the judges - Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews, and tonight’s extra special guest judges, comedian Sasheer Zamata and actress Jane Krakowski - to the show, before introducing tonight’s maxi challenge, a lip synced musical celebration of some of the most legendary memes in Drag Race herstory. |

Episode #3 - Drag Queens on Ice
Part One Scene: the werkroom, after Bombalicious’ elimination. “Well, that was eventful,” Nicole laughs as the queens enter the werkroom. “Damn this flat ass!” she says, trying to lighten the mood by referring to the judges’ critique that she would have won the challenge if not for her runway presentation (and more specifically, her lack of padding). After that, there’s silence as Valentine cleans the mirror of Bombalicious’ lipstick message: “Aw Jesus gross! L O L. Y’all know this ain’t right, but don't be shady ladies. p.s. thanks 4 the jewellery Ladee Boy. [sic] Can you hear me ticking? Bomb. x” The queens stand around and stare at the mirror. “There’s a lot to unpack there, huh?” VinChelle asks herself rhetorically. “If I see that jewellery turn up on Antiques Roadshow next week, I’m cutting a bitch,” Lady Boi half-jokes, half-threatens as she volunteers to help Valentine finish the job. Eventually, attention turns to Jessica, who is standing noticeably further away from the other queens, especially Lady Boi and Eva. Big Dee eloquently asks her what’s “crawled up her ass”, before Jessica replies, telling the group that she feels it’s unfair that “certain queens” are getting recognition “despite not putting in as much effort as the rest of us.” When Drü asks for names, Jessica mentions Eva, Lady Boi and Yvie, the latter of whom is taken aback. “I knew I didn’t make the greatest first impression with these girls,” Yvie says in a confessional, “but for my Denver sister to have turned on me really sucks. I wasn’t getting that vibe from her at all, but now at least I know which game she’s playing. In the wise words of Alyssa Edwards, don’t get bitter, just get better.” “If this is still about me getting the role she wanted, I swear to god,” Lady Boi complains to Yvie on the couch in the corner of the werkroom, referencing drama that arose during the previous week’s maxi challenge. “I didn’t even win! If she wants to drag someone, go for someone who’s been clocked by the judges, like Valentine, or Dee. Or, I love her, but Nicole.” As the queens eventually remember to congratulate Honey on her challenge win, Eva stands at her station, folding her gown and putting it away. Jessica stands across the room, staring her down. “Oh my god, it’s like a Western,” says Cookie, caught between the two in the middle of the room. “Django Untucked, more like,” agrees Nicole from behind her station. As Eva and Jessica lock eyes intently, a naked Rafaella dramatically runs through the middle of them and past Cookie, shouting “I lost my boobs! I lost my boobs!” and flapping her arms manically. As VinChelle begins to wonder in the ghost of Bombalicious is haunting the werkroom and stealing the queens’ possessions, Rafaella explains that she left her breastplate somewhere in the room and can’t remember where. “Long story short,” Honey says in a confessional, “we’ve all gone mad and it’s only episode three. Lord Jesus help us all.” |

Episode #3 - Drag Queens on Ice
Part Two The next morning, things are still tense between certain queens, although Rafaella is at least in high spirits, having managed to find her breastplate (“it was in my boob drawer!”). Boy Ru enters the werkroom and tells the queens he hopes they’ve packed their thermals, because winter’s coming. “Don’t tell me Shangela’s back again,” Cookie groans, before Ru clarifies that he’s talking about the Winter Olympics, despite the fact that in reality they happened a month and a half ago. For this week’s mini challenge, the queens will be acting out Winter Olympic sports, but first, they’d have to be sorted into pairs. Announcing that he’s been sitting on a secret, Ru unveils a long list of paper from inside his waistband and tells the queens that based on track record so far, their pairs have been decided and are as follows: Eva, who won the first maxi challenge, will be paired with Valentine, who survived last week’s lip sync Honey, who won the first mini challenge and last week’s maxi challenge, will be paired with Big Dee, who narrowly avoided last week’s lip sync Lady Boi, who received positive feedback in week one, will be paired with Yvie, who survived the first lip sync but received positive feedback last week Jessica, who received positive feedback in week one, will be paired with Cookie, who has been safe both weeks so far VinChelle will be paired with Rafaella, as they have both been safe both weeks so far Nicole, who has received positive feedback both weeks, will be paired with Drü, who received positive feedback last week Jessica seems happy, although this may just be relief that she isn’t partnered with any of her new nemeses. The pairs divide themselves into performers and guessers, and the mini challenge begins:
Once the queens are done embarrassing themselves, Ru reveals that as Rafaella and VinChelle were quickest to get a correct answer, they win this week’s mini challenge. Rafaella looks confused. Ru then tells the queens that they’d better be getting along with their partner, because they’ll also be working in their pairs (at which Jessica looks a lot less happy than she did before) for the maxi challenge, which is to choreograph and perform ice dance routines worthy of Olympic gold medals. Several queens’ jaws drop to the floor in horror, before Ru stresses that they won’t actually be ice skating, rather roller skating on a floor that’ll be made up to look like ice. Nonetheless, Big Dee still looks as if she’s about to faint, and a number of queens begin to wish that they’d been able to choose their own pairs. Last edited by MB.; 03-04-2018 at 10:09 PM. |

Episode #4 - Party Like a Mothertucker
Part One Scene: the werkroom, after Cookie’s elimination. The queens return to the werkroom, mumbling vaguely French-sounding words in tribute to their departed Canadian sister. The queens cheer on a still-emotional Jessica as she wipes Cookie’s final words from the mirror: “Il y a vingt-cinq grammes d'héroïne non coupée cachée quelque part dans cette pièce. Amusez-vous, mesdames. (jk Kimora) -sincerely, your white chocolate chip Cookie xoxo” “I can’t speak French, but I bet that says something real nice,” Honey smiles. As the queens give their congratulations to maxi challenge winners Lady Boi and Yvie (Big Dee tells them that they’ll soon put Torvill and Dean out of business. “Oh, those magician dudes who got bitten by a tiger?” replies Lady Boi), Jessica takes her time by herself at the mirror to calm down following an emotional few days. In a confessional, she talks about regretting her previous actions and hopes that she hasn’t alienated her fellow queens too much. “I got stuck in my own head and did things that I’d never normally do, and it impacted not only my performance in the competition but my personal relationships with these girls. Hopefully I have time to turn things around before it’s too late.” |

Oh and just to add, there'll be a few more open poll questions (i.e. you get to write in your own answer rather than being limited to my choices) during the course of the season, but I figured I'd keep it fairly simple for the first one as there were a lot of... more clerical questions to get out of the way first
