Good Morning B*tches + Top 4 Chaos
Two weeks away from crowning a winner and instead of a Rumix or performance-heavy final challenge… we get another improv challenge?
I mean… that’s definitely a choice.
Maxi Challenge: Good Morning Btches*
The Top 4 queens:
Darlene Mitchell
Juicy Love Dion
Myki Meeks
Nini Coco
were paired up to co-host a chaotic morning talk show called Good Morning Btches*.
The Pairings:
Darlene & Myki
Juicy & Nini
The Performances
🟢 Darlene Mitchell & Myki Meeks
Hands down, the strongest duo.
Myki played the composed, professional host, while Darlene leaned into her cooky, chaotic energy — and the balance worked perfectly.
They bounced off each other naturally, kept the segment moving, and most importantly… it felt like an actual show.
This is what the challenge was supposed to be.
🔴 Juicy Love Dion & Nini Coco
Oh… this was rough.
Right from the start, they struggled to keep the segment on track. They were missing cues from Ross Mathews, and the pacing just fell apart.
Juicy fully committed to her “horny host” character — maybe too much — while Nini barely contributed, which made the contrast even more awkward.
It wasn’t just messy… it was uncomfortable to watch.
Runway: Drag Excellence
Category: Drag Excellence — basically, show us your best drag.
My Top Looks:
⭐ Myki Meeks
Polished, elevated, and completely on-brand. This felt finale-ready.
⭐ Nini Coco
Also very true to her aesthetic. Strong, recognisable, and consistent.
The Others:
Darlene Mitchell
Very her — simple, joyful, and clean. But for a Top 4 runway, I wanted more elevation. When you’re this close to the crown, “simple” can feel underwhelming.
Juicy Love Dion
The look didn’t quite land for me. It felt like the dress was wearing her instead of the other way around.
Guest Judge Moment
This week’s guest judge was Teyana Taylor, and she was having the time of her life.
She was kiki-ing, laughing, fully engaged — and even gave flowers to the judges for providing a platform for drag artists.
Honestly? One of the more refreshing guest judge moments this season.
The Results
🏆 Winners: Darlene Mitchell & Myki Meeks
A double win that made total sense.
Myki now has 4 wins going into the finale
Darlene secures her second win, just in time.
Bottom Two & Lip Sync
Bottom 2:
Juicy Love Dion
Nini Coco
They lip synced to a track by Chappell Roan, and here’s where things get… questionable again.
Juicy clearly won that lip sync for me. She was mobile, expressive, and fully in it.
Meanwhile, Nini was restricted by her outfit and couldn’t really move.
So when Ru chose to save Nini again?
Yeah… I have questions.
Final Thoughts
Next week: LaLaPaRuZa Smackdown.
The eliminated queens are coming back for a lip sync tournament featuring songs by RuPaul herself.
And let’s be real — Juicy is about to eat that episode up.
Final Prediction
At this point, we’re locked into the finale.
And for me, it comes down to:
🏆 My Top 2 to Win:
Myki Meeks
Darlene Mitchell
Myki has the track record.
Darlene has the growth arc.
I want Darlene to win…
But I think Myki is taking the crown.
So tell me…
Did Juicy win that lip sync for you?
And who do you think is walking away with the crown? 👑
