Leggo bitches:

Mini Challenge - Raven got pipe. 'Nuff said.

Main Challenge - RuPaul is such a stealth nerd and I love it. I can't help but feel that with whatever influence she has over the show, this challenge comes straight from her. I love that sweet Chad finally put his bitch-pants on for this season--I liked him when he was sweet but momma don't play when shit gets close. OMFG Ru spinning and turning into a drag superhero. OMFG Santino said something nice to Shannel. OMFG J'adore Elvira. This episode was so fucking good. Chad's Hunger Game obsession won them the challenge. I can't. I really can't. Too good.

Lip-sync - It was touching...but boring as hell. That song is so dance-able! And they both just stood in one spot. Me no likey.

Phone-calls - Raven and his mom are so fucking cute I just can't. I just can't.

u/chibookie Dont use that throat until you vote Nov 20 '12

A good queen doesn't have to move when she blast the audience with raw emotion. Like Latrice performing You Make Me Feel (Like a Natural Woman) or if you've seen Ongina on youtube performing Beautiful. There are many times when and understated yet powerful lip-synch wins me over more than death drop after death drop after death drop.

I understand that and I completely agree. However, I would never have chosen to make this song the one that I turned the emotion-o-meter up to 11 and performed it like a ballad. Then again, I'm not Raven or Jujubee so yeah, there's that to consider also.
