Shannel, sweetie, did you consider that perhaps that was a bit racist? Shannel? Would you like to respond?
“That’s why I said I’m a white man who smokes and drinks but that I’m also trapped in a black woman’s body. I wasn’t ever trying to convey that black women smoke and drink.”
Hm. OK, continue.
“I have a big ass and an attitude to match!”
Oh, honey. Get the hell outta here and bring us Raven.
Raven has a plan for her standup: She’s going to tell everyone about how much of a whore she is! She is such a whore! She likes to have sex with lots of dudes!
Sheri points out that this isn’t really a series of jokes so much as it is a confessional at a sex addicts anonymous meeting.
Raven, beat it.
Eventually, the queens get started on their day of challenges. Ru introduces them to their drivers, Delta Work and Ongina, two queens who should have been competing instead of chauffeuring (in my opinion).
First up, a group interview for the ladies. They all have to verbally push their ways to the front, which is no problem for Shannel, the pushiest queen in the land. Despite their instructions to keep it clean, Raven spits out a curse word early on. She sort of apologizes, saying,
“I’m a little sorry about that,” which is the truest thing that has ever come out of Raven’s mouth.
Juju gets steamrolled by the other queens, who all get their answers in while she barely gets a word in edgewise.
Part two of the challenge kicks off as soon as they’re out the door, and they’re off to Hamburger Mary’s to appear at a WeHo event in which a hamburger will be named after them.
“I gotta step up my game,” Juju says. “No more Mr. Nice Bitch.”
Most of the contestants seem to do a great job joking and presenting their signature hamburger, but Shannel is dressed a bit like Aubrey O’Day after Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone else looks sickening, especially Chad, who kills it on stage.
“Now I can officially say that you can eat me,” Chad says with a huge grin.
When it comes to standup, the preparations are over and it’s time to shine. But first, they get some advice from Delta, who mentions that she had a comedy challenge in her season.
“So how did you get through it?” Shannel says, revealing that she didn’t watch the episode.
“Well, I didn’t,” replies Delta, who was eliminated in that challenge.
Oops.
