In rehearsals with Rhys and comedian Chris Parker, the girls are given pretty solid feedback bar for Hannah and Molly, who are given the classic “we want to see you” line. In her own words, she ‘seeks forgiveness but can’t demand it’, and the show slows down to give the chat the space it deserves. Hearing her talk to camera (and the queens) about her accountability and how she knows that, despite the work she’s done, some people she’s offended may never forgive her, we get a completely different perspective from Scarlet last year. We also get a chat with Hannah, Molly, Kween and Minnie about racism within the queer community, in which Hannah brings up some culturally insensitive performances she’s done in the past. 'RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under' S2E2 Recap: Oh Naur There’s a level of thoughtfulness here that was missing the first two weeks: this challenge feels like her true introduction. While Yuri and Spankie take home the win this week, it’s really Kween’s episode. The two plan out a set poking at their differences, exploring white privilege and intergenerational friendships.

Looking around, that’s probably only true for Spankie and Yuri, at least on paper: Kween and Minnie are an unlikely duo but that’s by no means a bad thing. It’s a bit awkward, though in Pomara’s defence, Bev goes into this wanting a tight script, where the challenge calls for a little looseness.īecause the werkroom is so small, everyone can hear Molly talk to her partner Hannah about her strategy in pairing up weaker comedy queens with stronger ones. Or, at least, that’s what we see in the edit: Bev seems to try really hard to placate Pomara, but she’s getting zilch from her. The two can’t seem to get along - well, Pomara seems to think Bev is an annoying, unfunny young twink and won’t really give her a bar. She also gets to pair up the queens for the brunch hosting challenge, and while Spankie says she’s been “saboed” by being paired with the quiet Yuri, it’s really Pomara and Beverly who are set up. I also love #5, and am open to a fun little touch. I love that Bonds are sponsoring this season, it’s such a fun little touch. For this week’s mini-challenge, the queens use their psychic abilities to guess which pit crew member is hiding which ‘drag essential’ in their pants, and Molly wins $5,000 for it. She’s right to say it, though I didn’t need the image in my mind. Sunday funday with these pig dicks! What Was Said More This Episode, “Saboed” Or Banter About Sucking Someone Off?Īfter last week’s Spankie win, Hannah enters the werkroom saying she’s ready to suck off Ru for a win after just missing out both times. It’s a shame the S1 queens got the short end of the stick, but I’m loving this season a lot and can’t pick a winner just yet, either: maybe Hannah, Kween or Spankie?īut for now, it’s time for brunch. This week’s conversation between Hannah and Kween is the most obvious example, a nuanced, even-handed addressing of cultural appropriation that makes S1 feel like a completely different show. It’s too early to make any sweeping judgements, but it seems like the show took in a lot of last year’s feedback.
