RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11 episode 11 aired on Thursday night on VH1, with the show landing on Netflix UK on Friday morning (May 10th). Seven queens entered the stage for a host of mini-games, including Ru’s personal favourite ‘Slap Out of It’, although one contestant was inevitably sent packing. So, who was eliminated? Rupaul’s Drag Race judges has fucked up season 11 #DragRace — Miranda Priestly (@ColinDeLucca) May 10, 2019 What happened in episode 11? Oh, the usual shizz – queens pretending to slap each other, make-overs and plenty of drama over that stray wig. Eliminated contestants Soju, Honey Davenport, Ariel Versace, Plastique Tiara, Shuga Cain and Scarlet Envy joined the show for the week’s Maxi Challenge. However, perhaps the biggest talking point was RuPaul’s decision to announce Brooke Lynn Hytes the winner of episode 11 and not Vanjie. Who was eliminated in RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11 episode 11? Nina West! Competing against Silky Nutmeg Ganache in a tightly-contested lip sync battle, Silky got the nod, surviving another week. MasterChef 2021 | Trailer - BBC Trailers The track for the battled was TLC’s No Scrubs although many fans felt that Nina did the better job. Needless to say, Twitter kicked off at the decision. "I've been so nice to everybody here." – Silky BITCH, WHO? The producers?! RuPaul?! Because how else has this trucker stayed this long??? #DragRace #RPDR — Désirée (@irees) May 10, 2019 I have never been this emotional and upset over drag race as I am right now. @RuPaul fucked all the way up. And only kept silky because she’s entertained by her. And it sucks.

When is the season 11 finale? Currently, there is no confirmed date for the finale. However, it’s likely that the final will air on VH1 on Thursday, May 23rd, before appearing on Netflix the next day. Where is RuPaul’s Drag Race filmed?

Two of the funniest women on TV today — Wanda Sykes and Lena Waithe — judged their efforts. Which contestant came out on top and was chosen as the winner of episode 11 of season 11? And were Gold Derby’s predictions correct that Vanessa Vanjie Mateo would be eliminated this week? In episode 10, Vanessa came close to being bounced but Shuga Cain went home instead. Both had to strut their stuff to the Mary J. Blige hit “No More Drama.” The sassy Shuga, who hails from New York City, counted some missteps among her moves. In the end, RuPaul Charles opted to throw a lifeline to L.A. lovely Vanessa. Below, check out our minute-by-minute live blog recap of season 11 episode 11, titled “Bring Back My Queens!

[PHOTOS] Refresh this page for live updates throughout the show 9:01 p.m. – Following two trips to the LSFYL, Vanjie returned to the workroom still shook from the close calls. She knows that appearing in the bottom that often is a danger zone that could mean the next to be eliminated. But she wasn’t surprised to be in the bottom based on her performance–compared to Silky Nutmeg Ganache who was surprised, if not a bit defeated, by the harsh critique she received. And despite winning the previous challenge Nina West knew that she couldn’t get too comfortable because they’re approaching the top 4 and so anyone can go home at anytime. 9:04 p.m. – For this week’s mini challenge Ru presented one of her favorite games–“Slap Out of It”–where the queens were tasked with fake slapping each other. After some hilarious acting (seriously, their best of the season) it was Brooke Lynn Hytes that was picked as the winner. Her ballet training came in handy yet again because her spin reactions really helped her stand out. 9:13 p.m. – And for this week’s maxi challenge Ru brought back six eliminated queens as the subjects for the annual makeover challenge so we said hi again to Soju, Honey Davenport, Ariel Versace, Plastique Tiara, Shuga Cain and Scarlet Envy. In order to ensure that the visiting queens wouldn’t help out the top 6, they had to wear pink kitchen mittens. And as the winner of the mini challenge Brooke got to decide the pairs: herself and Plastique, Nina and Shuga, Silky and Soju, Vanjie and Ariel, A’Keria C. Davenport and Honey and Yvie Oddly and Scarlet. 9:18 p.m. – Quickly into the brainstorm time Ariel and Vanjie got on the topic of some stray wigs that Ariel had accidentally left behind which, come to find out, some of the other girls had already claimed as their own. To Vanjie’s dismay that meant Ariel’s focus was on stirring the pot in the workroom rather than focusing on the task at hand. 9:26 p.m. – Soju was also in the mood to talk about past subjects so she of course brought up her cyst to Silky. That served as an example of why Silky felt Brooke was being shady by pairing her with Soju, the first queen eliminated this season, because overall she was a distracting presence as well as the roughest queen to work with in terms of look and walk. 9:29 p.m. – During workroom check-ins Ru wanted to know how A’Keria would improve in this design challenge after struggling in the previous one. She also asked which pairing in the room would be the most challenging and she, of course, named Silky and Soju. But later Brooke defended her decision to pair the two together and insisted that it wasn’t shady. What was shady is when she said pairing Silky with anyone would have been a struggle. Bloop! 9:35 p.m. – With Silky Ru wanted to know how she was going to fix her padding, the biggest complaint from the judges in the previous challenge. Unfortunately the conversation took longer than it should have because Silky really didn’t have an answer for her about how she was going to fix it. Ru was shocked because, well you know, a drag queen should know how to hide pads. Right? Right? ! 9:38 p.m. – In the time with Nina Ru wanted to know about what family resemblance she’d add to Shuga. We learned that back home Nina comes from a large drag family already, one of 17 where Virginia West is her mother and where she’s a mother to a number of younger queens. I love that! 9:46 p.m. – While applying makeup the topic if Ariel’s wigs came up. A’Keria made it clear that Plastique had claimed the wigs as her own because she was Ariel’s best friend. Eventually it came out that Ariel didn’t even want most of her wigs back–instead she just wanted to throw Ra’Jah O’Hara under the bus for taking them, but Ra’Jah wasn’t even there so the other girls were confused if she was even really upset about it. 9:50 p.m. – A’Keria also brought up how she had heard Scarlet say that she was surprised both Vanjie and Silky made it to the top 6. Silky took personal offense because Scarlet clarified that she thinks she received a lot of help from the other queens. And then Vanjie flipped it back on Scarlet by saying that she should have went home earlier than she did, too. From there it turned into a group vs. group argument because Shuga and Yvie backed up Scarlet and wanted to know why Silky was taking it so personally. In the end nothing was resolved, but it made it clear that the season has been divided by two cliques of queens who support each other. 9:57 p.m. – In the “Drag Family Values” runway, Yvie and Scarlet crawled on to the stage in torn denim garments with wigs made from denim jeans. Scarlet became an Oddly rather easily and perfectly including a cackling scream mid-stage. Nina and Shuga were in sequined and tasseled garments that represented Pride parades and were inspired by the Broadway show “Kinky Boots” A’Keria and Honey were in yellow and orange pageant dresses and big Texas wigs. 10:00 p.m. – Silky and Soju arrived in disco era blue bell bottoms and body suits with Cher and Sonny wigs.As far as I can tell Silky corrected her padding mistakes, but the looks were still amateur compared to everyone else. Vanjie and Ariel also arrived in pageant outfits with bombshell wigs and even waltzed off the stage mimicking the infamous “Vanjie” repetition. Last, Brooke and Plastique also went for the pageant look, but by far in the most glamorous way with proper evening gowns and red and blonde wigs that tied together the complete story. 10:07 p.m. – Most of the judges like Yvie’s presentation, but Ross pointed out that while it’s part chic it was also part crafty. Lena and Wanda appreciated that Nina went the statement route, but Michelle wanted to know why Shuga got the short end of the stick in terms of makeup and Ross didn’t think the outfits were runway appropriate. A’Keria they were indifferent about, if not skewing positive, but overall thought there was no reinvention of the wheel in what they did. Silky got more harsh critiques–according to Wanda it was more costumes than sisterhood. Michelle was impressed by Vanjie for turning Ariel into a true sister and they thought the whole presentation was very well executed. Brooke also got high marks and was even used by Michelle as an example to Silky about how to make two girls of different races sisters. 10:12 p.m. – Before excusing the girls, Ru wanted to know who each of them thinks should be eliminated. Yvie, Scarlet, Shuga, Honey, Ariel, Brooke and Plastique all said Silky. And Nina, A’Keria, Silky, Soju, and Vanjie all said Yvie. Most of them cited critiques as the reason, but Silky said that Yvie isn’t nice and that’s why she should go home. 10:23 p.m. – Shockingly, Vanjie was not declared the winner this week. Instead it was Brooke Lynn again! But Vanjie was a high scorer, along with A’Keria, and so both were safe. That left the other three on the bottom. Yvie was named safe, leaving Silky and Nina in the bottom to lip sync for their lives for the first time this season. Their performance track was “No Scrubs” by TLC which gave them a theatrical number to really turn out to. Surprisingly, Nina showed a lot of rhythm in her dancing while Silky flopped back and forth across the stage attempting splits and high kicks and climbing on the back wall. In the end, Ru’s response was “meh” and somehow chose Silky as the winner that would remain in the competition. I’m………. confused. Is that one of the worst decisions of the season? Of… ever? !

Same, hun. (Netflix) The Drag Race queens are back, back, back again! Drag Race Season 11 Episode 11: Bring back my queens, the verdict How much Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent was episode eleven packing? Overall: C.U.N.t. Apart from some erroneous judging (Vanjie deserved better) and a lacklustre lip-sync, this episode was the MVP of the season. Not only were we were gifted an iconic challenge, feature-length runway and salivating supply of shade, but—better than that—it finally felt like a real competition. I was legit on the edge of my seat, for the first time wondering who was going to go home. What privilege! Main challenge: C.U.N.t. You know it’s a good one when your first thought is, How have they not done this before? It was the ideal way to bring back the eliminated queens—along with all their drama, mama—without the faff next week of having to boot out the one they’ve only just taken back. Mini challenge: C.U.N.T. Drag Race didn’t try to top Asia O’Hara’s Oscar-worthy performance, opting instead to re-read the queens. And gurl. I’ll just say that for a moment I thought Labour had snuck into power because that library was open and fully funded. Where was this energy in the reading challenge? Like, were these pre-written by desperate producers or have the queens genuinely just become amazing at improv? Runway: C.U. Category is: Drag family values. So after all that, the runway itself was—ever so slightly—underwhelming. Perfectly presentable, yes, but—like Ross Matthews’ astute reading of Brooke Lynn Hytes—lacking an edge. Just one truly original moment could have pushed it to the paragon. It’s a small gripe, but I’m worried it might come to define how we look back on the season. Drag Race episode 11 episode 11: Wiggate Ugh. I really can’t with this. I have no idea what’s going on and I don’t care. Please stop trying to force this through for some added airtime, Ariel. What’s the moral? Don’t leave wigs in a room full of desperate drag queens? Also—since we’re here—it looks like Ariel Versace did actually leave the wigs for Plastique Tiara, according to one Twitter user. So either she’s lying on the show or in this (now deleted) tweet. Either way, I have no issue with made up drama, but for tuck’s sake, make it juicy! This shade did not spark joy. So let’s take a look at some that did. Drag Race season 11 episode 11: the shade of it all The slapback clapback of the week: Yvie Oddly: “I just know how easy this all is for you, since you only got the same character every time you—” Miss Vanjie: “So do you, you always playing an ugly Naomi Smalls.” But the shadiest moments from the shadiest episode came from the show itself. Let’s take a look: Forgetting the existence of Kahanna Montrese HOW? Ra’Jah O’Hara and Mercedes Iman Diamond I understand. Full tea is that—though undeniably entertaining—they had more screen time than their talent necessitated. But ignoring this season’s trade is pure homophobia. Go back to the bus stop and pick him up, please. Giving Brooke the villain edit over picking partners Who would have been a better partner for Silky Nutmeg Ganache? Plastique? Scarlet? Ariel? “Who should go home tonight?” I’m living for the fact this is the third time Ru has asked this question. Stir, mama. RuPaul reading Silky for that messy week “Bitch, we could see your pads on the runway. You ain’t got an answer for me, really?” RuPaul on the lip-sync: “Meh” How does Silky not know the words to “No Scrubs?” Why does Nina West think lightly bopping is enough? Ru’s three-letter judgement might have stung, but it was the tea. But Drag Race wasn’t done, reserving its fiercest shade for the two most beloved queens: Vanjie and Nina. The robbery of Miss Vanjie Those coats? That look? Ariel’s pristine mug? Vanjie should have won this week, no doubt. They were probably trying to stir up some Branjie drama for next week, but it just came across as cruel. It’s pretty obvious Vanjie isn’t going to win this season, so to take away her one win—a moment she could hold up as proof of her redemption and a nice set up for her inevitable return to All Stars—felt like a misstep. It had a touch of the All Stars 3 finale about it—which Vanjie foresaw.
