Trinity continues to impress week on week, and at this point it really feels her competition to lose, with Eureka and Ra'Jah her only real threat.Ī'Keria also opens up about living as a transgender woman only to detransition. Plus, she does it all while serving Jada realness. Trinity is open and candid about being HIV positive, and spreads the important message that when it comes to the virus, undetectable equals untransmissable. They have two advantages over their competition- they seem like the only team who has actually seen Red Table Talk, and they have Eureka, an amazing host who literally has her own HBO show where she helps people deal with their vulnerabilities.Įureka is the stand-out of the team, but both A'Keria and Trinity also deliver the goods. But not for A'Keria, Trinity and Eureka, the first team up.
Scarlet wins by scissors paper stone, and frequent Drag Race watchers realize she may already be doomed-if you fight for a given role, you sure as hell better deliver, as you have given the producers the storyline on a platter of the demanding queen who under-delivers on what she demands.Īt this point, Drag Race viewers may find themselves skeptical about this challenge-after all, how hard can it be, it's just talking about yourself?Īs the subsequent "Pink Table Talks" prove, it can be pretty hard. Those are the perfect topics-who would have thought flamboyantly gay people who completely change their shapes to become beautiful women would have things to say about sex, their bodies and their relationships with their families?!įirst though, a classic Drag Race beat: Ginger wants motherhood as she is currently trying to have a baby by a surrogate, but so does Scarlet as she has two moms. The queens split themselves into the following groups with the following topics: Once the voting decisions have been discussed, Ru comes into the workroom to introduce the "Pink Table Talk," heavily inspired (but for legal reasons not copied from) Red Table Talk.

That it, until "Pink Table Talk." The queens are tasked with hosting a confessional talk show in the style of Red Table Talk, the Facebook Watch Show that has given us TV moments like Jada Pinkett-Smith discussing the infidelity in her marriage to Will Smith, and Lori Loughlin's daughter, Olivia Jade, being read to filth by Adrienne Banfield-Norris. It has tried-remember that strange mini-challenge in Season 5 where everyone had to tell a sad story, and everyone joked around except Detox who shared a harrowing story about a car crash she had been in? But it has never succeeded. However, the show has never really been able to find a challenge to test how vulnerable the contestants are. Season 1 of the show, after all, felt like your standard frothy but empty reality TV show until Ongina revealed she was HIV positive onstage. In fact, in many ways the show was built on vulnerability. Some of the finest moments of Drag Race have come when contestants finally let down their guard. RuPaul's Drag Race judges are often mocked for their demand that every queen shows them vulnerability, but All Stars 6 Episode 5 makes a great case for why it is such an important skill for any queen serious about winning to have.
