RuPaul’s Drag Race: Country Queens

Can I get an "Amen" in here? As more weeks pass since the second season premiere, more folks seem to be converting to the church of RuPaul's Drag Race. I know I can't be the only one who's getting phone calls from straight friends who insist that I "need to start watching this show". This guilty pleasure is catching on like crazy! If you're not watching by now, be sure to catch up online or with reruns on LOGO or VH1.

This week's episode found the girls starring in a southern-fried commercial, with guest judges Kathy Nijimy (Veronica's Closet, Sister Act) and country legend Tanya Tucker. They turned out their best country looks on the runway, but one queen lost her chance of ruling the kingdom in the end. Who was it? You'll have to click through to find out, as you browse through our weekly rankings!

To check out the rankings and watch this episode, follow the JUMP:

1. JESSICA WILD (LW – 4): No, I'm not giving Jessica the first spot because she overcame her language barrier in the commercial. I'm giving her first place because she was a fucking amazing Disco Critter. Plus, her curves were kicking on the runway! She looked so damn good that Santino Rice basically sexually harassed her. And quoting the Muppets as inspiration? This is a (wo)man after my heart!

2. TYRA SANCHEZ (LW – 9): Love her or hate her, Tyra Sanchez worked it out this week. Her three-look runway ensemble embodied the country vibe while still remaining fabulous and creative. And her baby act was adorable! I would have given her first place this week, but you know she only delivered because she got to be on a team with the "skinny bitches". Make no mistakes–Satan's Baby only looks like America's Sweetheart.

3. JUJUBE (LW – 2): Can you say sexy cowgirl? From Ellie May to the runway, Jujube was looking fierce. And can we address one of the best lines of the episode? In reference to guest judge Kathy Nijimy: "I can't believe she's standing in the same room as me. I just wanna pee. Soak myself." 

4. PANDORA BOXX (LW – 5): Age ain't nothing but a number, but did anyone else realize that Pandora is thirty-seven? She's looking fresh for the oldest gal in the competition! I actually liked her understated country look, even if it looked like it came out of Hannah Montana's closet.

5. MORGAN MCMICHAELS (LW – 7): As each week goes by, my bias against Morgan keeps fading faster and faster. Just because she's from the same place as Raven, it doesn't mean she's as big of a cunty whore. Her grandmother make-up was unbelievable. Her leadership abilities? Not so much.

6. SAHARA DAVENPORT (LW – 1): Sahara may be the cutest guy in the competition, but that doesn't mean she gets the number one spot every week! She sort of faded into the background this week, but not to a degree that's offensive at this point of the competition. Can she turn it out when it comes down to the end?

7. SONIQUE (LW – 8): Although Sonique's acting was downright awful, her runway outfit was absolute sex. I could totally see some straight country boy picking her up at a bar and getting a big surprise when he takes her home! Even so, she still needs to do a bit more to stand out.

8. TATIANNA (LW – 6): Tatianna isn't down this low because she sucked in any way. She's down this low because she didn't impress me at all for this challenge. I really love this bitch, but she needs to bring it harder to stay in this competition. Being pretty can't always save you.

9. RAVEN (LW – 10): I can't get over how much I loathe Raven. She doesn't have anything nice to say about anyone, which is funny because there's not much nice to say about her. The Disco Critter? Fell flat. Lip-synching for her life? Against a worthy competitor, she'd be dead on arrival. There's an all-around lack of energy in her presence. Even with a fabulous runway look, she can't win a place in my heart.

GONE… MYSTIQUE SUMMERS MADISON (LW – 3): Mystique couldn't deliver on the runway, in the commercial or in the final moment, but she sure as hell went out with a bang. You just know millions of people are going to be paying her to come to their parties and do a split. Though I'm sad to see her go, I'm glad she stayed true and didn't let the skinny bitches break her spirit.
