. The message at the beginning of week two’s episode said Vh1 would be airing the season as recorded out of “respect” for the other contestants, and likely because editing out Sherry, who placed in the top two last week, would be incredibly costly in a season that’s already underway.
Sherry’s character on the show, which seemed cartoonish and fun in the style of Nina West before the allegations surfaced, now seems like an actual dark cloud looming over the entire production. That’s fitting since Sherry’s runway look for the night was that of a giant tulle raincloud complete with sad clown makeup.
But even without Sherry casting a pall over the proceedings, week two was not nearly as ebullient as week one. The first round of queens introduced this season seemed multifaceted and dynamic, while round two simply seemed a bit lost. From the moment Rock M Sakura, the first queen to enter the room, bumbled confusedly up onto a work table, the entire episode seemed a bit directionless. The first challenge was the same as the previous week—to present spring and fall looks on the runway.
But the routine ended up being fine, if not as exhilarating as last weeks’ generally outstanding raps. Despite her complaining, Jaida proved those golden shoulders aren’t just for show and displayed an elegant use of her long limbs along with a funny, engaging verse claiming her status as “Mother Dear” of the competition, though there was little room for doubt at that point. Aiden Zhane almost nailed it, exuding some real zombie Liza Minelli energy.
All the queens finally met each other at the end of the episode and week two’s batch looked like a ragtag girl scout troop from an ’80s movie compared to thesophistication week one was serving in the workroom. Nicky Doll said she wasn’t worried, and after this week’s merely adequate performances compared to last week’s energetic showcase, she’s probably right not to be too fussed just yet.This week’s front-runner is either no one or Rock M. Sakura’s farts for lightening the mood.
Season 7 was an ominous cloud over RuPaul’s Drag Race. ☕️
