The glorious, hilarious and shady Bob the Drag Queen is absolutely a top-three contender on this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, so it was a bit of a surprise to see her landing in the bottom two, with Britney Spears impersonator/glorified Chris Crocker Derrick Barry. But oh lord, did Bob’s misfortune deliver us from evil: to Sylvester’s disco queen classic “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real),” she put down the most subtle act of glorious homage, staying true to the spirit of the song and crawling deep into its soul. Barry tries her hardest, too, but can’t quite fully transcend Spears mode. It’s one of the best lip syncs we’ve seen on Drag Race in awhile, and to my mind it puts Bob even higher on the list of contenders. Get your life.
