So after a week of nail-biting anticipation, the winner of RuPaul's Drag Season 4 was finally announced, and in my opinion Ru finally got it right. Don't get me wrong I live for BeBe Zahara Benet and Raja (I still demand a recount for Miss New Teeth Tyra Sanchez), but the fact that Sharon Needles was crowned the winner last night proved that the people have spoken and the right person got to usher in a new kind of drag into the mainstream (a style Lady Gaga needs to tip her wig to for stealing and ushering into the mainstream).
Personally Alisa Summers, LaShauwn Beyond, The Princess & Madame LaQueer were a straight bore with their answers Ru asked them about their experiences on the show, until breakout queen Willam was dragged on the stage kicking and screaming in a tight dress by the sexy pit crew.
Once Willam parked her ass down, the question that was on everyone's mind was finally answered. "What the hell did she do to get kicked off the show?" Most (like myself) thought it was either drugs or she revealed behind-the-scenes secrets of the show via Facebook or Twitter. But no, Willam's elimination was because of something most of us gays can't live without - bitch got dickmatized and was secretly getting her back blown out by her husband in her hotel room. Now in my opinion if there's any reason to be kicked to the curb it's because of a dick. Anything else outside of that is just plain embarrassing.
Apparently the rules of the show is that once you are selected to be on the show no one is supposed to know that you are joining the cast until Logo announces the line up weeks before the season's premiere.
Says Willam: “When you go away to Drag Race, you can’t tell anyone — it’s top secret. And I told my husband I was doing a non-union horror movie in Europe, which I’ve done before and they suck, so don’t watch them. And he didn’t believe me. He was like, ‘Why you gotta take all this drag?’ So I lied, and he followed me to the hotel. The first night, he walked on my door, and it was a delivery!”
Ru: “So in other words, you were receiving conjugal visits from your husband and, unfortunately, that was in violation of the rules?”
Willam: “Visiting makes it sound like we were visiting — there wasn’t no talking. But they were very long visits — he’s 6’6″.”
Willam also admitted during the taping (but didn't make the cut) that is was she who told the producers about her late-night rendezvous with her babydaddy. There was also another question that Ru asked Willam at the taping (that didn't make it into the show), which was about why she threw up on the side of the stage before his "shocking" elimination. No she's not pregnant! Apparently, Entertainment Weekly (who was there) spilled the tea: Willam explained that she knew she was getting eliminated from the show, so during her lunch break that day, she gorged herself. If you remember, she was wearing a corset-style top that day. So it was simply biology at work: She ate too much and was squeezed into something too small to hold it — so something had to go. Willam did explain, however, that she cleaned up the mess herself.
I also couldn't wait for the final three to have a seat on stage, because I really wanted the queens to let Phi Phi's manipulative, two-faced ass have it! Sharon gave us goth cooture realness and Chad gave us movie star glamour. But once a half-naked Phi Phi came out (who wore a busted blond wig not even the Marilyn Monroe singers of Smash would be caught dead wearing), Sharon, Chad, Jiggly, and Willam (who got the most applause for not only calling Phi Phi out on her diplomatic bullshit on stage, but for coining the word "Rupology" - which Ru informed Willam she was stealing) went in for the kill.
Don't get me wrong I applaud Phi Phi for her hunger to be the Next Drag Superstar, but the way she went about it was just plain wrong. I felt if Ru picked Phi Phi to win it would teach the new generation of kids (who for the most part get their education from watching TV or the internet) that the only way to become successful in life is to be a backstabbing, two-faced saboteur.
I was also happy that even though my girl Latrice Royale didn't make into the top 3 (which is where I had her alongside Sharon Needles and Chad Michaels) that she won "Miss Congeniality."
So with my recap coming to a close I am glad for Sharon for winning and I look forward to the next season as well as the All Stars Edition which Willam needs to be brought back for. My least favorite of the Ru spin-offs is Drag U because I see nothing interesting about a bunch of drag queens trying to make over actual fish. And if Willam wants to stay on the All Stars season (that's if she does get on the show), then bring herself a toy to get herself off and leave your 6'6 walking penis at home.
