The dolls enter the world of ladies' wrestling as the competition moves to the ring.
Bless you duffell and your rewatch. I've just subscribed to a streaming service and am catching up.
I agree with you that there was way too much restraint. Wrestling is supposed to be OTT, and I was so proud of how Madam Lequeer turned it out in the ring, and how well she executed her performance given how worried she was by it.

I am surprised Chad's team won, as I thought Phi Phi and Willam's teams were more entertaining. I would have picked Latrice and Kenya to win. Latrice throwing Kenay into the ring was the highlight of everything.
I think what sent LaShawn home wasn't necessarily this task, it was doubting herself on the runway in the previous episode. RuPaul doesn't have patience for that attitude. She definitely lost the lip-synch, and her runway was very plain. For a candy theme, she should have had more balls and more color and decorated it up like a Christmas tree. But all things being equal, the last episode marked her for elimination.
I noticed several queens looked sad or shocked when LaShawn was sent home, which is unusual this early in the game. She must have been a very likeable person.
My immediate reaction to Phi Phi complaining about Madame LaQueer and Jiggly Caliente's "not being active" and their alleged constant complaints about "their feet hurting": fuck you, you fat-hating fuck.
What's odd is that she drafted Latrice in the first round. Something I noticed about PhiPhi in All Stars is that she doesn't seem to be aware how mean the things she says are. Like, she would have been oblivious to her comment being "fat-hating". It was just the first thought she had and she let it out her mouth.
Compare that to William, who is very aware of what she says.

I think the queens may have been surprised by LaShauwn's departure because she was clearly a crazy talented costume designer. The T is apparently that at the time of the show, she didn't do drag herself as much as she made outfits for other queens, though, and her inexperience really showed in that lip sync when her shoes came right off.
