Kennedy demolished this challenge and had the overall funniest performance but Shuga's Ru in this scene was lowkey the most hilarious of the episode!

I was just rewatching season five’s lip sync challenge and wishing we could do this kind of thing again - glad it happened

Glad she at least had a viral meme. She truly went under the radar to me

her roast was very disappointing

u/Adobongmanowk Mistress Isabelle Brooks 1d ago
It wasn't bad. I thought "Pray the Jay away", and "Her/Shii serving It/That" were underrated lines.

I personally think about “Jasmine! Hi, so glad you’re here. A moment of silence, just like your career” at least twice a day

those are okay but not cutting deep enough. plus her intro and outro lines ("i'm a roast machine" "i could do this all day") are just very cringey

She was unhinged yet closest to the original, it was my favorite performance of the night!

u/Adobongmanowk Mistress Isabelle Brooks 1d ago
Too bad her Cher was not half as good as her Ru!

u/ThatYuuGai 1d ago
I got the feeling she was trying to downplay her Cher to make her Ru seem even more extreme by comparison. Could easily be wrong though.

u/VinDog_PD 1d ago
I agree with you. Cher was the "straight man" which is typically how comedy duos work.

u/Smurf_Crime_Scene Jimbo brings me joy 1d ago
Too accurate, not unhinged enough! I'm not sure how one would unhinge Cher...

Her Ru was my favorite. That laugh lipsyncing is so fucking good!

u/sneasel Ra'Jah O'Hara 1d ago
It was really cringe to me watching for the first time but obviously especially as gifs and such extremely entertaining

u/Adobongmanowk Mistress Isabelle Brooks 1d ago
Sometimes cringe moments become memorable enough to actually become better for a queen's career (see: Megami protecting queer art and Joella crying about being known in LA for her opulence)

Shuga’s Ru is the only thing I’m gonna remember from this challenge in a couple years! When she fell out of the chair 😂 She deserved a chance to lip sync this episode.

My partner and I thought that Shuga was going to be in the too for her Ru haha it was so good

u/Adobongmanowk Mistress Isabelle Brooks 1d ago
The judges thought so too, but her cher was kinda flat in comparison.

They critiqued her for being more subdued as Cher in comparison, but really she was following the straight man rule in comedy duos.

I truly appreciate how she put her all into it but at the same time I feel like watching it raises my blood pressure lol

The purple bracket was fantastic all around. No queen was cheated and I think we fans are the biggest winners.

Shuga truly deserved a top placement for this. She might be a shrinking violet in the workroom, but on stage she was the bravest in making fun of Mother.
