I think you should definitely have it planned out and you should have tried it a few times. It sounds so simple but it’s just like… Maybe I didn’t look like Carol Channing but I surely had fun pretending to be her. When it should really be about who you have a connection to and who you have fun pretending to be. I feel like immersing yourself into a specific celebrity just seems like a smart thing to do as soon as you send off your application to the show.ītDQ: I think most drag queens just think: Who do I look like? Who’s the same race as me? And just do that. It’s unfair to assume that these queens would have experience doing celebrity impersonations for shows unless their names were Chad Michaels or Derrick Barry, but having imitated her for your friends, it was at least something you knew and had a frame of reference for. This week, we hopped on the phone with RuPaul's Drag Race season 8 winner Bob the Drag Queen to talk about why you have to be funny in this competition, the best look from the runway, and whether or not being familiar with the “lexicon of drag” is essential for active engagement with the culture. After rejoining the competition for a second time, Cynthia was gone. And while performing “Music” by Miss Madge for the final lip sync, Cynthia's usual kicks and splits couldn't compare to Peppermint’s flawless robot and other '90s-inspired moves. Farrah Moan’s intricate rendition of Madonna’s Super Bowl look for the “Night of 1000 Madonnas” re-do runway helped her avoid the bottom two. Farrah Moan’s choice of niche YouTube star Gigi Gorgeous proved unfruitful Peppermint’s impersonation of Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes fell flat and Cynthia Lee Fontaine’s impersonation of Sofia Vergara just functioned as a meta impersonation of Cynthia herself. Sasha Velour, who, up until this point, has comfortably floated near the top of the “safe queens,” also shined this week as the illustrious German actress Marlene Dietrich. In the Snatch Game, Alexis Michelle was an easy standout for her in-your-face Liza Minnelli impersonation (lots of kicks and quirky laughs), and it ultimately secured her the win she had been so desperately craving for the past few weeks.
