Ep 7. RuPaul Roast

The queens are back and ready to roast in season 5 episode 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race. In this episode, the queens are tasked with participating in the infamous "Roast" challenge, where they must roast three of their fellow competitors. With only seven queens left in the competition, tensions are high as they prepare for what could be their last chance to prove their comedic skills.

As the queens prepare for the challenge, RuPaul offers some advice on how to succeed in the Roast. She reminds them that the key to a successful Roast is to find the balance between being funny and being mean. She also encourages them to stay true to themselves and not try to mimic the styles of other comedians.

The judges for this episode include RuPaul, Michelle Visage and guest judge Amy Schumer. As the queens take the stage to perform their Roasts, the judges react with both laughter and cringes. The Roasts go from bad to worse as some queens struggle to find their footing while others excel in the challenge.

One standout performance comes from Jinkx Monsoon, who uses her quick wit and impeccable timing to deliver a hilarious Roast that leaves the judges in stitches. Alaska also shines in the challenge, showing off her comedic chops with a clever and well-crafted routine.

However, not all of the queens are so successful. Detox struggles with her delivery, failing to connect with the audience and leaving the judges underwhelmed. Roxxxy Andrews also struggles, with many of her jokes falling flat and failing to elicit the desired response from the audience.

As the judges deliberate, the tension is palpable backstage as the queens anxiously await their fate. After much deliberation, RuPaul announces the winner of the challenge, as well as the two queens who will be lip syncing for their lives.

The lip sync is a tense and dramatic affair, as the two queens battle it out for their chance to remain in the competition. In the end, only one queen can be chosen to stay, while the other is forced to sashay away.

Overall, season 5 episode 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race offers a hilarious and exciting challenge, as the queens are pushed to their limits in the Roast. With only a few episodes left in the season, the competition is heating up and the stakes are higher than ever.
