Side note: who, exactly, is the вЂњLondon ambassador?вЂќ Is Michelle Obama the only modern celebrity Bebe knows? 5. Bebe Zahara BenetДЄs far as actual Studio 54 glamour goes, Bebe is the only one who even came close and her mastery of the вЂ™70s look certainly played its part in winning the lip-synch. A Studio 54 car crash that look was indead. Unfortunately, sometimes sheвЂ™s a little too focused on the longterm game instead of the individual challenges, and she skidded off the road tonight into a pile of gold tinsel and old records. Shangela finds herself in the bottom time for the first time in years, but make no mistake sheвЂ™s still in the driverвЂ™s seat when it comes to steering the entire plot of this season. WeвЂ™re just gonna do what feels right and deal with repercussions later. Her pink jumpsuit wasnвЂ™t revelatory or even particular laudatory as a fashion statement, but it did fit well and she did better than most on the can and monologue.

It may seem bold to rocket Trixie up this far after last weekвЂ™s brush with elimination, but for a certain viewer this entire season hinges on a Trixie redemption and we feel it coming full force.

Though, honestly, it may have been good for her to get a night off from having to lip synch and update whatever spreadsheet program she seems to have devised to pick who sheвЂ™ll send home. So itвЂ™s no surprise that while her Romper Room romper lacked the Jerry Hall-esque edge to give her a win, but her soup can design (going with the obvious name of Cream de la Creme) and Warhol DiaryвЂs-inspired voiceover were amongst the best of the night. Ben has always gravitated towards the kind of kooky kitsch that lacks actual glamour. BendelacremeД«enвЂ™s outfit tonight was more вЂ™70s living room than вЂ™70s VIP room, but a minor slip-up that landed her in the safe zone isnвЂ™t enough to dethrone her from number one in our rankings. Now, on to our not-so-serious power rankings, which, as always, takes into account the full season so far: 1. Much like that actual show, weвЂ™re gagged, stressed out by all the drama, and wishing it was actually all on Netflix so we could skip to the next episode right away. WeвЂ™re talking about the very partial revelation of The HandmaidвЂ™s Tale-themed twist at the end. The episodeвЂ™s other big pop culture nod was far more successful. Then look three is Studio 54 goes to Studio 54вЂ¦ but you have to use remnants of crushed disco balls and lamГ©.вЂќ If only. Look two is giving me vibes of, like, Wall Street CEO whoвЂ™s a mother of three but she has a secret coke habit and goes to Studio 54. вЂњLook one is very like, I donвЂ™t know, Marie Antoinette, but sheвЂ™s a school girl trying to sneak into Studio 55. Perhaps with the categories announced by Season 3 winner Raja, who, as every viewer of YouTube spinoff вЂњFashion Photo RuViewвЂќ knows, seems to see a little bit of Studio 54 everywhere. Oh, what we would have given for the old format. The fact that queens quickly started to struggle with understanding the very concept of soup in the first place had us worried (it is not sweet, it doesnвЂ™t have caffeine, itвЂ™s not that hard to conceptualize). ItвЂ™s a relatively simple challenge, far simpler than the old Ball challenge format where queens had to put together three looks-two from their own closets, and one that had to include some untraditional material. Then we moved on to the main challenge that involved the queens having to design wearable soup cans (because, hey, Andy Warhol did those soup can prints that one time) and, finally, creating a look from scratch that was suitable for Studio 54. Sort of a nothing little task that was fun to watch non-the-less, and resulted in AjaвЂ™s first mini challenge win ever.

The return of the mini-challenge saw the queens posing for Polaroids that would be turned into Pop art portraits. The Andy Warhol Ball in fact (even if technically what Warhol threw were вЂњhappenings,вЂќ not вЂњballsвЂќ).

TonightвЂ™s theme, as announced by RuPaul in her most literal boy drag look ever, was all about Andy Warhol.

WeвЂ™ll let it pursue whatever crazy urges it has and gladly go along for the ride until we get disappointing results and think, вЂњWait, what the hell happened here?вЂќ That was until we realized, вЂњWhy are drag queens designing and wearing giant soup cans to begin with?вЂќ ThatвЂ™s the thing with this show at this point. Do drag queens not eat soup? That was the biggest question we had about this episode of RuPaulвЂ™s Drag Race, which served as something of a relief from all the previous drama until the results, at least temporarily, shook up the status quo.
