Rosé returned to her heritage once again in a full tartan print gown and an oversized ginger wig. Kandy came next in a fun and brightly colored street outfit, stressing that she’s not the type of queen to put on eleganza just for the finale because she rather remain true to herself. – In the “Drag Excellence” runway category, Gottmik opened in a gorgeous white gown with black polka dots and peek-a-boo cutouts that was matched by a quirky poofed wig and makeup that was half signature clown and half natural beauty. Overall it was a well-executed performance of a fun song from each of them with none really standing out from the others.Ĩ:55 p.m. The number closed with them all together for a simple group dance. – In the world premiere of “Lucky,” the queens each had their own stage to perform on for their verse: Gottmik sexed it up showing off curves and bringing back her white clown makeup, Kandy kept it “hood to Hollywood” in a yellow street scene, Rosé stayed pink in a musical theater-inspired moment that she executed to perfection, and Symone created another instantly iconic vocal inflection on her verse. Looking back, they discussed their first impressions of each other like Gottmik’s confusion that Rosé was calling herself a comedy queen or Symone’s clocking of Kandy as the loud one and then being shocked to find out she’s more sensitive than that.Ĩ:52 p.m. – Ahead of their final runway, the queens got ready in front of the mirrors for the last time with each other. The other good thing was that Jamal came to the sessions knowing the best way that the queens can learn and working with them in that way - with Gottmik, for example, he knew that she’d respond to hearing the lyrics and dancing to them rather than learning counts.Ĩ:42 p.m. While they all weren’t as immediately on point as Rosé is, it was clear that they’ve all become so much more comfortable on stage and learning dance moves. – Before their choreography lessons, Jamal made it clear to the queens that he would be harder on them now then he ever was before. Of all the girls, Symone’s breakthrough this season was the most emotionally-charged, explaining to Ru that her shyness in coming from a small town and being told she won’t succeed for so long has developed an insecurity that is only released when she turns the corner as Symone.Ĩ:33 p.m. As expected, Kandy had Michelle and Ru rolling with laughter throughout their conversation, showcasing a humility and sensitivity that doesn’t always come across in her willingness to be argumentative in the werk room. Always praised for her perfection, Rosé opened up about how drag gave her the room to breathe and explore her creativity that working in theater in her male self never allowed. – Gottmik was the first to sit down for “Inside Drag Race,” getting the chance to explain her transition journey, including having used her “old first name” as part of her drag name, as well as the many ways the show has allowed so much growth in her expansion beyond being a visual artist. Kandy was keenly aware that in the past challenges like this one were where she slipped up and found herself in the bottom two, so she knew that she really had to step up her game this time.Ĩ:16 p.m. Rosé was more consciously concerned with showing a new aspect of her talent and so she wrote a rap verse into her part of the song rather than relying on her singing voice. – While brainstorming and writing the lyrics to their verses, Gottmik realized that her genuine pride for making it this far in the competition was turning her into the kind of softie that wanted to sing about positivity and inspiring people. – For this week’s challenge, Ru asked that they prove they have the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent by writing and then dancing to their own verses for a remix of her new song “Lucky.” In preparation for their challenge they would once again work with choreographer Jamal Sims and then guest appear on Ru’s podcast with Michelle Visage, “Inside Drag Race.”Ĩ:08 p.m. At this point, the weight of their individual challenge wins felt like an even playing field and that all of them would be deserving of a spot.Ĩ:05 p.m. That being said, the queens themselves were still unclear about how many of them would actually make it to the finale. – With Olivia Lux‘s elimination, the feeling in the werk room is that it was her time to go and that the right queens had made it to the final four.
