Could it be Shangela?
(c’mon God, why couldnt it have been Shangela?)
I was hoping beyond hope that maybe it would be Katya.

Everybody was wrong, though, because the returning queen turned out to be…Naysha.
The queens had to drag up basic black robes: think Judge Judy couture.
Why wasnt Sonia Sotomayor guest-judging?
Im sure she would have said yes if asked.
What were they thinking???
Luckily, Naysha made the executive decision to make Kim Chi and Thorgy swap roles.
Ru and Faith Evans were sitting in the directors chairs.
You go, Boo Boo Kitty!
NEXT: Rolling down the runway
Derrick was therealweak link on the team.
Thorgy was the MVP, by far, as Chocolate Chip Cookie.
That Thorgy knows how to commit to a character.
It was maybe the best, least-offensive portrayal of a black woman by a white guy with dreads.
And thats quite a feat.
As solid as Team Naysha was, Bob the Drag Queen came to get whats hers.
Her performance as Chocolate Chip Cookie slayed, and she sprinkled it with bits of improv that worked beautifully.
I loved the slow reveal of her bejeweled bodysuit, a la Britney in the Toxic video.
(Derrick Barry was probably ready to shave her own head in a jealous rage).
But Bobs talent cast a shadow over the rest of the team.
While some girls tripped over their words, some of the other girls started tripping for different reasons.
For the first time inRPDRherstory, theyd be rollerskating down the runway.
Robbie was excited to strap on some wheels, while Bob was a lot more nervous.
In the Werk Room, Thorgy shared a bit of her backstory, and it was a tough one.
I cant imagine anything more devastating.
On a lighter note, though, a young Thorgy looked a little bit like Bill Hader.
Her runway was hilariously bad, though Ru said, Shes like a Roomba!
And Tasha said, The Tin Man needs some lubricant.
(Tasha, give us a spoiler warning first!)
In the bottom was Derrick Barry, who once again faded in the background when not playing Britney.
Ru told her, You better work, bitch.
But she narrowly avoided having to lip-synch which, incidentally, is what Britney does best.
She blamed the pace of the shoot and even her eyesight.
Cynthia did a spirited fake split (her poor cucu!
Because the lady can skate better than she can act.
She ended the song with a dramatic fall off the stage, which paid off.
She definitely got to stay for her performance in the lip-synch, not for her performance in the skit.
Lets say goodbye to the cucu and the Cynthia thats attached to it!
Now that the roster of queens has been mixed up, heres an updatedFierce List!
Thorgy Thor:I was completely wrong about her in my premiere recap.
Shes quickly becoming less annoying and one to be reckoned with.
Acid Betty:She has yet to own a challenge completely, but shes always near the top.
Naomi Smalls:She needs to be something more than thin and pretty.
Naysha:Why did we bring her back?
Id rather Ru not have called Naysha and just decided to keep Cynthia.
