OK, Slava was a DRAG QUEEN. She could be the first 'straight or something' contestant on the show. I was so entertained by how into it she was, even when she seemed to backtrack a bit ("we're very Euro about these things.")
*This* is why I love this show so much. (Plus, without the cattiness, there was space for real *drama*). Best episode of the entire season for me, easily, even though Raja was flailing.
There was enough material in this ep. for an entire dissertation on gender fluidity and sexuality, language, and how drag breaks down and plays with gendered identity & ego.
The jocks were very sweet, and I liked the lesbioticness of the Lip Sync. I feel like Alexis probably should have won (she and Slava were so great and had such energy together, I couldn't focus on any flaws), but maybe the win was given to Manila because her safe-sex cheer was the only one that stood out as witty.
LOL, I wonder if Manila's jock knew that the Bahamas cruise he was so excited to win is a GAY cruise. And that gay cruises are uber gay. But he seemed cool; I bet that wouldn't stop him.
BEST EP!! SLAVA FOR SEASON 4!
