Earlier in the year, at this season's premiere, Ru teased that two queens would develop a relationship over the course of the show, and I had assumed that couple was going to be Roxxxy and Detox, given their frequent flirting and pairing off. So I never anticipated Jinkx and Ivy as a potential match-up. My guess is that the producers didn't, either, since it came up so abruptly this episode.

I have no idea if anything developed between those two, nor what Ivy's feelings were, but who else was surprised that Jinkx chose to announce her crush to the full workroom while Ivy made her phone call? As many others have noted, Jinkx usually plays her cards close to her chest, so giving her competitors such a juicy piece of gossip seemed incredibly out of character for her. But I don't know--maybe she was overwhelmed with her feelings, and perhaps she wanted to confide in the other queens when she had the chance. But Alaska was less than encouraging, saying, "Well... that's... cute....?"

I've never really gotten all the gagging over perfume and celebrity scents. I'm not a glamour queen, girls, but I did love this challenge. (So did Ru--seeing her "sample" Alaska's perfume in the workroom was comedy gold. If I had more time this week, I totally would have animated it. Yes, seriously.)

I'm a sucker for photo shoots, especially ones that allow some room for playing around with props and the Pit Crew. Jinkx's entire shoot was hilarious, from the moment she whipped off her fur coat to reveal the lingerie underneath. She succinctly explained her vision to Shawn and Jason of the Pit Crew ("Like we just had a threeway, Eiffel Tower, all that stuff") and got ON 'em!

The editing of these sequences allowed us to see the funny moments and blunders of each shoot, but without spoiling the best punchlines. I thought Jinkx's concept behind Delusion was simple and hilarious. Some of the other queens' ads? Not so much. I had expected that Alyssa, Roxxxy, and Ivy could at least offer up some glamour and eleganza, if not serve up the laughs. I did appreciate that Coco, bolstered by her win at the Ru Roast, tried to bring some levity to her shoot... but if you're trying to be funny, you should be funny, girl.
