“I’m the only person who has won three challenges,” Loosey claimed, trying to convince both the audience and, I assume, herself that mini-challenges mean anything. When she complains in this episode about not being a winner, it’s a little annoying, as this complaint literally always is, but nowhere near Loosey’s absolute breakdown in Untucked during the acting challenge. A musical-theater performer, she’s used to taking notes. (For Jan, it was her one-note peppiness Marcia’s was … well, you know.) Instead, Marcia has revealed herself to be pretty chill. She had all the makings of a classic Jan (a queen so viciously gunning for the win that the producers have fun never giving it to her) with her musical-theater training and a singular note applied to her over and over again. Not really a part of that larger narrative, Loosey has been a story unto herself, getting madder and madder at her perceived lack of recognition, culminating in an episode this week that feels less like the story of Why Sasha Won than it does the story of Why Loosey Lost.Īt the start of the season, I assumed that the Charlie Brown would be Marcia x3. Then smack in the middle of all that, is Loosey LaDuca. Marcia x3 has been all but held down and physically forced to apply more makeup. Sasha has been held up as the platonic ideal of a queen. There have been discussions of social-media queens versus performers. The show gave a lot of airtime in the premiere to the discussion of shade as an integral part of the drag-queen oeuvre. Season 15 has largely been about what makes a good drag queen - or, more accurately, a good Drag Race queen.
