RuPaul's Drag Race Season 10 Episode 2 - Power Rankings

Popped Tuck? We got a cure for that.

This week, the queens had to perform a lipsync extravaganza to a bunch of parodied pharmaceutical ads, and then hit the runway in their signature drag.

1) The Vixen

Via tumblr.com

RuPaul's Best Friend Race was found dead in a ditch, The Vixen is here to bring the drama we've been craving the last few seasons. The Vixen is incredible casting, it's so refreshing to see queen not afraid to call a bitch out and not tiptoe around her words. She completely owned this episode - winning the mini-challenge, main challenge, and making a lasting impression on the fans. The Vixen is making Chicago proud.

Challenge: 10

Storyline: 10

I knocked off some points for her edit, because some more casual fans *cough* aka bitches who've only seen newer seasons or are just joining this circus now, might go ahead and attack her on social media because of how she's acted. But, I think this works in her favour, the show needs this, and production will want her around for as long as possible.

2) Miz Cracker

Sporting a literal cracker on her head, the current fan fave maintained an extremely strong presence and challenge performance this week. Cracker's storyline with Aquaria progressed slightly, but It's never over-bearing, it's rather fascinating. I can't wait to see how this turns out in the end, be it in a lipsync for the ages, or an all-out bitch-fest.

Edit: 10

Challenge: 8

Storyline: 10

Cracker isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and if past seasons are any indications, there's a slew of comedy challenges coming her way now, in which she's sure to slay.

3) Mayhem Miller

Mayhem maintained her positive edit and even found herself in the winning team this week, but she did sort of fade more into the background. However, this could definitely be a good thing considering how so much of the first episode was about her.

Edit: 8

Challenge: 8

Storyline: 8

Mayhem truly shined in untucked, showing that she could play a sort of drag mama. She steers clear of any major drama, and ended up consoling Eureka during her breakdown. We love a professional queen.

4) Monet X Change

Via tumblr.com

I'm going to use Monet as an opportunity to discuss BODYSUITS. Monet looked fierce, but good lord, a bodysuit should not exemplify your "best drag". Okay, now that's off my chest. Monet was actually one of the standouts in the challenge this week, her spoken word lipsync sections had me rolling, she deservedly placed in the winning team.

Edit: 9

Challenge: 8

Storyline: 6

She hasn't won a main challenge yet, but Monet is the season's narrator. Her confessionals have been abundant and consistent. She's good at giving fun quips, but I still don't feel like we know enough about Monet, she isn't a fully fleshed out character just yet.

5) Asia O'Hara

Via tumblr.com

Even though her team ended up losing, Asia slayed as a team leader and gave one of the best performances in her group. What disappointed me though was the runway - again, she looked fabulous - but for "best drag" and knowing the pageant girl that Asia is, I expected bigger and MORE.

Edit: 8

Challenge: 8

Storyline: 7

Just like Monet, Asia is getting consistent confessionals, and is showing to be quite the personality in Untucked. I'm ready for Ryan Murphy to greenlight a season of Feud featuring Asia and Monet's sponge dress.

6) Aquaria

Via tumblr.com

Okay okay, I was one to discredit Aquaria pre-season, but I have to say, she's sort of winning me over. She's this awkward baby queen who's FIERCE but also still figuring out who she wants to be. Her drama with Cracker aside, her confessionals have been awkwardly endearing. I ain't renting it, I'm buying it.

Edit: 7

Challenge: 7

Storyline: 9

I've seen mixed reactions to both her performance and runway, and I'm confused. I thought her runway look was so fresh and killer, and her performance in the mini challenge and rusical proved to me that she'll be a contender down the line.

7) Eureka!

Via tumblr.com

Our poor elephant queen had quite the rough episode this week. These damn inner saboteurs get the best of us sometimes! Eureka was clearly one of the worst in the main challenge this week, and her runway was also a damn body suit. I've said enough already.

Edit: 5

Challenge: 5

Storyline: 10

However, there was no way they were going to send Eureka home this early. That storyline she has forming is JUICY television and production knows it. Eureka overcoming the fear from her injury and possibly slaying is definitely something that will be explored more down the line, so that's why she gets placed so high here despite her poor challenge performance.

8) Blair St. Clair

Via tumblr.com

I don't really remember Blair at all this episode, she's placing HIGH consistently but she's fading into the background. I just don't think she has the personality to keep up with the other queens this season.

Edit: 6

Challenge: 6

Storyline: 6

She looked stunning on the runway, I'll give her that. I really hope we see her DUI come into play and we see her escorted off the stage by Latrice in a cop outfit. A gay boy can dream.

9) Yuhua Hamasaki

Via tumblr.com

After such a strong showing in the first episode, Yuhua also managed to fade into the background this week. Both her runway and challenge performance didn't stand out, and she barely got any confessionals.

Edit: 6

Challenge: 7

Storyline: 5

Yuhua is extremely likeable, and I'm not really a fan of how the show is portraying her given that she has so much potential. Her little "confrontation" with Michelle on the main stage seemed so forced, attempting to get us to side against Yuhua, but Yuhua was just explaining her choice calmly.

10) Dusty Ray Bottoms

Via tumblr.com

Dusty is living on borrowed time at this point. If it weren't judged in teams, I definitely think she would've placed somewhere in the top, but, the show just doesn't want us to care or like Dusty. Her edit is extremely non-existent, and she doesn't really give any interesting talking heads.

Edit: 5

Challenge: 8

Storyline: 5

Take notes Laila McQueen, that's how you do a beetlejuice look RIGHT.

11) Monique Heart

Via tumblr.com

Just like Dusty Ray, the show REALLY doesn't want us to care for Monique. Her LOW placement this week was extremely questionable, just like her safe placement the week before. I'm not exactly sure what the judges are seeing that we're not? Monique has been serving looks and performance ever since she stepped foot into the work room.

Edit: 5

Challenge: 7

Storyline: 5

Even though I think she's being constantly robbed, I have to knock her down some points because of how the show wants us to perceive her. It doesn't look good for Monique.

12) Kameron Michaels

Via tumblr.com

We've got the Kandy Ho of the season. Kameron has been basically invisible, having only ONE confessional, being the one for her entrance in the workroom. She's sort of quiet and reserved, which doesn't bode well in drag race. You need to stand out and make an impression, otherwise you're gone.

Edit: 4

Challenge: 8

Storyline: 3

However, I think she was severely underrated in the rusical. She gave good face hunty, and I could've easily seen her winning the challenge over The Vixen.

Eliminated - Kalorie Karbdashian Williams

Via tumblr.com

It was only a matter of time, and she was damn lucky she got to stay an extra episode more than she really should've. Kalorie was likeable and sweet, but ultimately, Padma Lakshmi put it perfectly, she was out of her league on drag race. Kalorie had no shot at winning, or even making it far. For now, I hope our Karb-filled queen takes some time to perfect her drag and shows us the glow-up I know she has in her. The show is bout to go on a low Kalorie diet.

Alright hunty's, that's it for this week. We're still really early in the season, but who do you think has the best chance at winning right now?
