And Jinkx doesn’t even get a star for her trouble, owing to Jaida’s block last episode. It’s hard to get that worked up about the decision, though, since the sketches were so mediocre in general. That she gets to come back as Little Red’s wolf in the second sketch only gives her more to work with. Throughout the segment, Yvie’s the one who does the most character work, and stands out as a result. She’s later joined by Monét X Change, the third pig, who takes the wolf’s side. In the first, she’s the defendant, smirking and sneaking her way out of accountability for two of the pigs’ houses falling down. (When she shifts to German upon Little Red’s grandmother insisting they’re from Glendale: “We do not have Glendale in Germany!”)Īlso very strong is Yvie Oddly, who gets involved with both sketches as the Big Bad Wolf. She gets by far the meatiest part-everyone else has to share their side of the courtroom with at least one other queen, while Viv is on her own-and she runs with it, coming up with a variety of new accents to keep the young woman’s identity a secret. There are a couple of clear standouts here, in particular The Vivienne as Goldilocks-turned-Little Red-turned-Gretel. (She opts to do a Cher voice, which is as silly a choice as it sounds.) Trinity’s witch, as mentioned, is dressed exactly like Michelle Visage, which limits just how much she can do. Jinkx Monsoon’s little pig becomes an Instagram-obsessed millennial, while Jaida’s is a supermodel parody of Twiggy. Here, while the queens can put their own spins on the characters, they’re still familiar archetypes. They had general plot points to follow, yes, but not known characters. Part of what made “Jersey Justice” so fun was that the queens were largely making these characters out of whole cloth.
