Closet, who has not yet changed her name, much to RuPaul’s dismay. This week’s lip sync assassin was revealed to be Season 12 favorite Heidi N. (If the queens were being strategic, they would have used this opportunity to take out “frontrunner” Trinity, but that was never going to happen.) At that point, though, Pandora’s elimination was a foregone conclusion, especially since the queens have previously emphasized the importance of voting based on track record. Ginger being named this week’s top all star was no surprise, nor was Pandora and Trinity winding up in the bottom.

I was also pleasantly surprised by Kylie Sonique Love’s take on Dolly Parton, which was both endearing and amusing. Minj really did nail the impression all around. I will admit to questioning Ginger’s voice, as I’m only familiar with Diller’s later work, but a quick dive into YouTube confirmed that Ms.
Let’s start with the good: From the moment Ginger Minj cracked her first joke as Phyllis Diller, sending Ru into has-Utica-smoked-pot fits of laughter, it was clear that she had this in the bag.

Bonet now declaring herself the frontrunner, the remaining six queens were invited to play Snatch Game of Love, a pale imitation of the flagship series’ beloved Snatch Game.
