Summary

The final five are green screen queens for this week’s schlocky sci-fi acting challenge. They typecast themselves in semi-familiar roles, to the benefit of Gottmik, Rosé and Symone, any of whom could have won. (But did the right queen win?) Kandy is sticky in the challenge (and sour on the runway) and Olivia’s light starts to flicker. We enjoy a visit from the ever versatile Scarlett Johansson, discuss formative gay representation from our youths, bask in the beauty of Cynthia Erivo, highlight some gold standard talking through tears and break down the tricky nuances of “being yourself” in this competition.

0:47.2	You know, I really like set me back in a way.
0:50.6	If there was someone like me on TV when I was a kid, there would have been years shaped
0:56.6	off of my little journey.
0:57.6	Because like, there's no way I'm the only one that feels this way, you know?
