For this week’s challenge, the queens were paired with gay cowboys for a classic “Drag Race” makeover. Discord Addams went for an opposite sisters motif, transforming her partner into Harmony Addams, the preppy version of Discord. The judges, specifically Michelle Visage, didn’t feel that the duo displayed enough family resemblance, but Discord chalks that up to a misunderstanding.
According to Discord, the official rules for the challenge said the pairs should look like “sisters, not twins.” In other words, “there was a big emphasis on not making us look the exact same,” Addams explains. The problem? No one told Visage about that rule, which she and Addams discuss in the latest episode of “Whatcha Packin?” below:
“She did not know that the rules said ‘not twins,’ so I think there’s just some confusion there,” Discord tells TVLine. “But it’s fine. I loved what I did, and I made my partner feel proud. He was so happy. He was really excited to get in drag for the first time and showcase that side of him, and I’m really glad I could made him feel comfortable.”
Discord ultimately lip synched for her life against Nini Coco to Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends,” which wouldn’t have been Discord’s first choice. “There’s no range to it,” she says. “There are no highs and lows. It’s very mid tempo.” She was also too focused on the judges (“I’m staring RuPaul dead in the face!”) to follow what Nini was doing, “but I know she’s a fierce performer, dancer, and drag queen,” Discord says. “I can’t say that I think I did or didn’t win, because I fully believe that she put on an amazing show.”
“I wouldn’t say that I was unfairly sent home,” Discord concludes, despite her issues with Law Roach’s cruel critiques. “Going home on an episode that you know you didn’t actually bomb feels better than going home on an episode that you actually f**ked up on.”
How do you feel about Discord’s elimination? Did you see the family resemblance between her and Harmony? And do you agree that Law Roach needs to take a long, hard look at himself in the mirror and rethink his life choices?
