The pink bracket has officially entered the Werk Room, and the competition just reached a whole new level. After A'Keria C. Davenport and Dawn advanced from Bracket 1, Episode 4 introduced six completely new All Stars: April Carrión, Aura Mayari, Crystal Methyd, Salina EsTitties, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, and Vivacious. Titled "Duets: It Takes Two," the main challenge tasked the queens with pairing up to write, record, and perform queen-on-queen duets at the prestigious "Sha-Blammy Awards" in front of guest judge Reneé Rapp.
Here is how the duets shook out:
Aura Mayari & Crystal Methyd: Delivered a high-energy, theatrical performance titled "Hoes before Bros" that focused on crude humor and completely stole the show.
Salina EsTitties & April Carrión: Brought a 90s-inspired R&B vibe. While Salina excelled with her swagger, April struggled significantly with her pitch during the recording session with Michelle Visage.
Silky Nutmeg Ganache & Vivacious: Brought their unique veteran flavor to the stage, navigating the musical expectations as a legacy pairing.
On the main stage, the runway was incredibly polished, but it was Crystal Methyd and Aura Mayari who were named the top two queens of the week. The duo faced off in an energetic lip sync to "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", with Crystal ultimately winning the lip sync.
After bracket 1, I honestly didn't think that this season could excite me anymore, but the first week of bracket 2 gave me hope. I'm genuinely happy to see everyone in bracket 2 coming back for All Stars—even Silky. April Carrión is looking so puss; she now has this charisma and confidence that she lacked back in her original season.
Vivacious? Tbh I thought she was going to give me a Mystique Summers run, but in the first week of her bracket, she shows us all why she is MOTHER! Yes, she might be a little stiff and have that expressionless face, but she turned it out! Aura and Salina were also doing great coming back, but it doesn't seem like much of a difference from their original season because, to be frank, Season 15 is kind of recent, and their growth doesn't hit as much. But Crystal—Crystal really did it for me. She seems so comfortable in her drag now, and she knows what she's doing.
As for the maxi challenge this week, everyone did well, and I agree that Aura and Crystal had the best performance because both of them really delivered what the challenge wanted. On the runway, everyone in this bracket brought such a polished look, and if I have to pick the 'bad' look of the night, I would say Salina. Not that it's bad-bad, but it's kinda basic.
Crystal and Aura won the challenge, and Crystal won the top 2 lip syncs. She is now in the lead for bracket 2 with 3 points, and Aura is behind her with 2 points. Not sure how the remaining queens are going to give out their MVQ points, but I'm sure everyone will eventually get 1 point each.
