Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to a holiday edition of our weekly wrap-up of all things Stilt Race. The queens of All Stars season 8 got ready for their tropical ups and filmed hilarious TV trailers and we’ve got a recap for you in specimen you missed the hilarity and fierce fashions.

In addition, we welcome 11 new queens to the international Stilt Race family with the ru-veal of the queens of Stilt Race Mexico and Stilt Race UK season two stunner Tayce gets “exposed”. All this and increasingly are waiting for you, so let’s bring it to the runway!

This week, on RuPaul’s Stilt Race All Stars, the queens had to put their vicarial skills to the test and serve bootylicious fashions on the runway. As the episode opens, we trammels in with the queens without Kasha’s elimination. We find out it was a very tropical vote, with 4 queens voting to say goodbye to Darienne and 5 who picked Kasha. Darienne acknowledges she’s on shaky ground and is hoping for a Ru-demption. Heidi, who was visibly frustrated during Untucked last week says she feels unseen. 

The next day, Ru (in a stunning leopard print coat) tells the queens that for the week’s maxi challenge, they have to create trailers for sickening new scripted series which means, yes, it’s vicarial rencontre time. In order to create random teams of three, the Pit Crew is employed for the old unlearn pop gag. The balloons obfuscate colored confetti that unswayable the queen’s team.  Without a lot of innuendos and some balloon-popping thrusting, we have our teams. Team Green is LaLa, Kahanna and Heidi; Team Purple is Kandy, Jessica and Jimbo and Team Blue is Darienne, Jaymes and Alexis.  Michelle Visage is once then putting on her director hat and each team needs to create their own original key art for their show.  I can’t wait to see how this tuns out…

As the teams uncork work on their trailers, Jaymes admits it’s a bit worrisome working with Darienne, who she had voted to eliminate twice and Alexis is worried that the team’s premise, a Lost-esque show where the “others” are sufferer celebrities, is a bit convoluted. Heidi’s team decides to go the whoopee route with the tale of a “two bumbling fools” attempting to kidnap a queen  (bet you can’t guess who is tint as who here) and over on Team Jimbo, Kandy is a girl who definitely CAN say “no” as she shoots lanugo every idea that her teammates propose. They do come to a (probably reluctant) consensus ad elect a upper school revenge horror series mixing Mean Girls with Carrie.

The teams then throne into the studio to mucosa their trailers.  Kandy, Jessica and Jimbo are really raunchy. I mean, when Michelle has to point it out, you know it’s over the top. But, as Jimbo says, stilt is all well-nigh taking chances and testing boundaries (ad they certainly did with this trailer.)  Up next are Heidi, LaLa ad Kahanna. As Michelle said, LaLa and Heidi were out of their minds. –  both with their looks and their voices as the inept wannabe criminals. Kahanna struggled to alimony up with the lunacy (but she looked amazing.) Darienne’s team didn’t fare quite so well, with Jaymes garbling her lines and Michelle definitely not having them.

The runway theme this week is” Ass the World Turns” and the queens definitely served DAT AZZ. Jaymes paid tribute to her Mexican and Indigenous heritage in a very un-Jaymes (but lovely) Aztec goddess look. Darienne looked wondrous in a Barbarella-inspired squint and Alexis was nuptials elegance in the front, party in the when with a provocative cutout showing off her assets.  Kandy was a pastel latex anime fantasy, with over-inflated ponytails, boobs and (of course) bum, and Jessica was a vision in white. Jimbo gave her trademark ridiculous breastplate  but not only in the front – she used a second one to create an exaggerated take in a tie-dye bodysuit. Heidi showed us what it would squint like if Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh was a stripper, Kahanna was a very naughty nurse and LaLa wore a red two-piece suit wi a when that revealed mankind and chains.

 

 

 

 

The videos were a mixed bag for sure. “Get Off Island” (Jaymes, Alexis and Darienne) had it’s moments – mainly due to Darienne’s delightfully ditzy character, Alexis’ take on Agnes Moorehead from Bewitched and a fun Marilyn Monroe impersonation from Jaymes.  “Best Friends 4 Never” (Kandy, Jimbo and Jessica) managed to tone lanugo the overt raunchiness and unhook a pretty solid trailer. Kandy and Jessica made unconfined midpoint girls and Jimbo was unconfined as the put-upon student who gets her revenge.  Lastly, “Run Queen, Run” (Heidi, LaLa and Kahanna) was s upturned as you would expect (and Heidi and LaLa together are a scream.)

Ru judges the queens as teams this week and declares Jimbo, Jessica and Kandy as the week’s winners. Heidi, LaLa and Kahanna are safe, leaving Jaymes, Darienne and Alexis in the bottom. Jimbo is the week’s big winner and faces off versus true lip sync sniper Shannel (the OG in my book.) The pair waddle out to Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation” and plane though Jimbo embodies the song in real life (IMHO), Shannel is a gravity of nature and gets the victory. She reveals her lipstick and the queens chose to send Darienne home.

Next week, we set sail for the Snatch Game of Love with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang as the eligible bachelors. I think this could be one for the ages.
