P. Run Season 5 Ep. 6 Recap
August 21, 2008
I was looking forward to this episode all week.
It did not disappoint.
I will even go so far to say that all of my personal dreams came true:
-Joe finally won!
-Jerrell was not eliminated!!
-Queen Bitch Whiny Face Daniel got Auf’d!!!
I cried when Joe won. I cried at the prospect of Jerrell getting Auf’d. I squirmed with GLEE to see that Daniel has finally been eliminated! Arbiter of fine taste, my ass! Nothing but a big baby, that one.
Moving on!
-Terri, of course, kicks ass, and I loved how defensive she got of her boy Suede when Ms. Lettuce got snippy with him. Her Kabuki-themed piece wasn’t just drag-licious [to borrow a term from Blayne], it was actually beautiful. I was also pleased that Suede kissed and made up with his girl. Again, made me teary eyed [also note that I am menstruating right now]. Also I almost forgot to note the probably important detail that SUEDE COMMUNICATED WITH HIS DEAD GRANDFATHER AND THIS IS WHY HE MADE THOSE LETTUCE BLOSSOM GLOVES. ALSO NOTE THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS WEARING A DOO-RAG.
-This challenge, of course, was created for people like Blayne, Jerrell, and Stella. I was pleased to see Blayne and Stella’s excitement. Also everyone’s annoyance with suffix -licious is humorous and, well, relate-able. Both Blayne and Stella turned out bomb-ass pieces, but I’ll admit that though I am delighted that Jerrell was not eliminated, his outfit was disappointingly not over-the-top.
-I find Keith to be endearing [gay Mormon!] but I consistently don’t like his designs. Oh well, different aesthetic I guess.
-What else can be said? I honestly think all the designers killed it in this one. I can’t imagine not having fun while doing it. I wish there had been more focus on Leanne’s gorgeous origami-esque piece- like Terri, its construction was utterly gorgeous. Perhaps too gorgy for a drag queen? Kenley was perfectly matched with her queen as well and rocked the massive feathers. Korto’s piece was also genius.
I have barely any criticisms or snarky remarks for this episode, because it was just so fucking delightful. I giggled the entire time. Better than Xanax; I’d prescribe it!
Also, don’t judge, but if I were to procure a pink sequin sailor suit I would absolutely wear it, no questions asked.

Joe’s and Terri’s were both amazing. How could Jerrell have actually toned it down from the craziness he rocked for the Olympic challenge? Disappointing.
Also very happy Daniel is gone – his tone of voice is consistently brutal.
I wish they could have kicked off Keith too – I don’t know what you could possibly find endearing about him. Is it the little curly rat-tail? Is it the way he flexes his manly biceps for the camera whenever possible? Is it how he’s never said a single funny thing?
Also, can we talk about how Blayne, though I do still kind of like him, probably should’ve been in the bottom three? I mean, could you focus on anything apart from the floppy wing? I could not.
Agree on Suede + Hedda Lettuce being a little bit touching. “Do you think that we… at this moment, right now…” – priceless.
