Kim chi drag queen cat runway series#

I’m of the mind that there are far more adult virgins than people realize, and making it into a big issue is sure to cause them even more insecurity, depression and anxiety. Apparently this is supposed to be a huge deal but she actually seems perfectly fine with it. Kim decides to lay it on the table and come out as a virgin. The moment lacks the poignancy it otherwise might, because all three are now so clearly gifted and talented, not prone to self-pity, that their former days seem like centuries ago…with one big exception. Many a former contestant commented that we the viewers don’t realize just how much of a race the show really is, as the episodes are extremely rushed in real life.Īs the queens get ready for the stage, Team Former Fatty-Acid Betty, Kim Chi and Dax ExclamationPoint-reminisce about how badly they had been treated as fat, gay teens. They stress (no doubt fairly) over not having enough time to get looks together and get the dance down and learn the words. Both teams meet with the choreographer and struggle with the steps.

Why would that be beyond the pale on a show where men dress as women and constantly make sexual puns-and whose companion series is called Untucked? It’s very bizarre and arbitrary what is and isn’t considered acceptable humor on the series.Īny fan of the show knows how the rest of the episode goes. While this can often be better, of course, it needn’t always be the right way to go-especially since it’s unclear (maybe even to the queens themselves?) if they’re going to be judged as a team or as individuals.Ĭhi Chi’s team disagrees a bit about whether to take the “one shot” line from the song Adrenaline and mimic shooting up, eventually discarding the idea. Acid’s style is far more methodical than Chi Chi’s. Though Chi Chi is the team leader (and a superb dancer and actual choreographer), Acid insists on undermining her every chance she gets.

Acid Betty demonstrates that “Acid” isn’t just a reference to LSD but to her acid tongue. What’s an otherwise straightforward episode has one extreme spike of drama. the bad girls in a high school send up-nowhere near as fun as the absurdity of having the queens as stewardesses. The two winners end up being Chi Chi and Cynthia Lee Fontaine, who get to divide the two girls into teams for a song-and-dance number a la last year’s Glamazonian Airways. Kim’s “dance” is something else entirely.

Remember how there was a whole episode on Seinfeld about Elaine’s atrocious dancing? Well, at least Elaine was actually moving her limbs in some sort of manner. (Kids, don’t try that one at home.) And then there’s Kim Chi. A close second this week goes to Chi Chi DeVayne, who goes from a standing split into a deathdrop. The best part of these sorts of mini-challenges is how hideous everyone looks in the extremely short time they’re given to get into drag. This week’s episode starts out with RuPaul coming out and announcing a cha cha danceoff for all the queens.
