RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3, Episode 9 Recap: Proud To Be American

The competition is winding down with the queen that everyone love's to hate, Delta Work, going home on the last episode.  This episode was all about being patriotic.  The challenge at the top of the episode was for the queens to glam up a bra with their own personal style and Manila Luzon won the challenge by cutting holes in the nipples of the bra and pretending to shoot people with her nipple rays.  The episode challenge was to create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) for the troops serving overseas.  Alexis Matteo and Shangela got the most kudos from the judges, but Shangela fell flat during the runway show.  Yara Sofia did not impress the judges with her staple over-the-top Puerto Rican performance.  Raja did an awesome job during the runway show wearing a Village People Indian outfit.  In the end, Carmen and Yara Sofia had to lip-synch "para tu vida" (mistake on Ru's part: it's actually por tu vida) and in the end, Ru decided to let them both stay.  I was sure that Yara was going because Ru loves the pretty queens and is probably sleeping with Carmen (y'all know that Ru sleeps with at least one of the queens in each season, right?).  My guess is she's sleeping with Raja and Carmen.  Alexis Matteo deservedly won the challenge and proved that, although not the prettiest drag queen, she has the most heart and personality and may actually win this.

Raja narrowly escaped being in the bottom two this week
