Rupaul's Drag Race Season 10 Episode 5 - Power Rankings

Your Denim look was more Den-ummm

This week, the queen's improv skills were tested in a Maury Povich parody, and on the runway, they stunned with their best denim and diamonds.

1) Eureka

She found it! The Elephant Queen stomped the competition this week. Some may still find her off-putting, but her sexy baby shtick had me rolling. Her denim and diamond runway was underwhelming though, so she loses some points there for that.

Challenge: 9

Storyline: 10

Eureka's storyline has now come full circle. Last season, she left on the fifth episode, and this season, she won the fifth episode. I think Eureka has solidified herself as a front-runner, but she's going to have to work a little harder to win over a large portion of the fan-base.

2) Miz Cracker

Is Cracker gunna get Pandora Box'd? She seems to always the be the bridesmaid and never the bride. I do not think Cracker has ever been 'robbed' however, as many do. She has justifiably always come close to winning, but never standing out to deservedly take the win. I think her pickle this week was clever, but too subtle - unlike her runway. Miz Cracker stood out and slayed with a simple yet hilarious Pippi Longstocking hillbilly pink denim and diamonds look.

Challenge: 9

Storyline: 9

Untucked this week really made you wanna root for Cracker. I, like many, identify with Cracker's insecurities as a gay man. This added such a fascinating aspect to Cracker's character. She's just got to start winning challenges, otherwise she's getting the infamous fan favorite chop at around 5th/6th place.

3) Asia O'Hara

Asia easily had the best and most creative look on the runway this week, where everyone sort of went with a simple interpretation of denim and diamonds, and I ultimately think that's what saved her from being LOW. She wasn't bottom two worthy this week, but she didn't stand out in the main challenge.

Challenge: 7

However, Asia is still a huge presence on the show. She's one of the queen's getting the most confessionals every episode, taking on a narrator role. The competitive side of Asia is slowly starting to show, and she promised it would come out in full force at the beginning of the episode.

4) Aquaria

For the so called "runway queen" of the season, I'm getting bored of Aquaria. I'm expecting her to bring even more than Violet did in her season, but everything so far has sort of paled in comparison. Her personality hasn't been showing much in main challenges, so I really expect the runways to be completely next-level every single time.

Edit: 7

Challenge: 7

Storyline: 8

The judges are clearly living for her, but I'm still waiting for that breakthrough personality moment. Her storylines intertwine with most of the queen's, so I don't think she's going anywhere anytime soon.

5) The Vixen

Like Asia, I think The Vixen's runway this week saved her from the bottom. It could have easily been The Vixen in the bottom over Mayhem, but that stunning mermaid gown gave her the extra edge. Damn, The Vixen really isn't good at these acting challenges, and that will ultimately be her downfall.

Edit: 7

Challenge: 5

Storyline: 8

There's no way the show is going to lose their biggest drama-stirrer since Phi Phi this early in the competition, so The Vixen is sticking around. However, it was a welcome break from all the drama this week that she sort of took a backseat in Untucked.

6) Monique Heart

FINALLY! The judges are recognizing the oo-la-la sensation that is the heart of season 10! Monique getting the recognition she deserves makes my gay heart so happy. She killed it this week, and probably would have won the challenge if it weren't for her endearingly confusing a brown cow print with giraffe print.

Challenge: 8

Storyline: 5

Besides giving hilarious talking heads, I don't know much about Monique. The show hasn't really explored her backstory or who she is yet. Hope to learn more about her soon.

7) Monet X Change

After years of build-up for a Man I Feel Like a Woman lip-sync and we get... that. For someone who completely SLAYED last week's LSFYL, Monet underwhelmed. Too many props! Monet showed that she has what it takes all on her own to give a gag-worthy performance. Her runway, challenge performance, and lipsync couldn't save her from the bottom.

Challenge: 4

However, the judges again clearly have taken a liking to Monet. She's so charming, and we've seen many queens lipsync many times this early on and then go on to slay (Raven, Adore). It's possible Monet starts slaying, and I think it might happen just because of the sheer amount of confessionals she continues to get.

8) Kameron Michaels

The muscle queen finally got a confessional! Kameron is being slept on, she's performing well in almost every challenge and killing the runway. At least we got to see her open up a bit more in untucked and some of the confessionals this week, and hey, she got her Shania Twain shout-out.

Challenge: 7

Storyline: 4

I still don't know anything about Kameron other than she hits the gym often! Come on story producers!

9) Blair St. Clair

Ah Blair. I think she's our next queen to go. She's not really given much screen-time, and I think her high placements aren't going to really amount to anything. She's not giving me much. Her runway this week was cute enough, but Monique stole the show from her in the main challenge.

Edit: 6

Challenge: 6

Storyline: 5

We've learned a bit about her past, but she doesn't have any storyline that's keeping her grounded in the competition. She's definitely not giving enough interesting or funny confessionals to warrant her staying much longer.

Eliminated - Mayhem Miller

Mayhem for Miss Congeniality! What a fierce and grateful queen. Mayhem definitely proved herself, finally getting on the show after all these years, winning a challenge, and showing off her talents to the world. She'll be a queen to remember, and I hope she gets to come back on a future All Stars. For now, we say goodbye to the loveable WeHo queen.

Alright ladies, that's it for this week. Season 10 continues to slay us all, who do you have as your winner pick as of now? Let me know!
