Blame It on the Edit explained
"Blame It on the Edit" is the fourteenth episode of the fifteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race.[1] [2]
Episode
The episode's main challenge has contestants perform in a space-themed music video to RuPaul's song "Blame It on the Edit", a song from RuPaul's fourteenth studio album Mamaru (2022).[3] The contestants write their own verses and learn choreography by Miguel Zarate.[4] [5] The contestants also have a Tic Tac lunch with RuPaul and Michelle Visage.[6]
In addition to RuPaul, the judges are Visage and Ross Mathews. Sasha Colby is declared the winner of the challenge. Luxx Noir London is deemed safe, placing Anetra and Mistress Isabelle Brooks in the bottom. The two face off in a lip-sync to "When Love Takes Over", but neither is eliminated from the competition.
Reception
Trae DeLellis of The A.V. Club gave the episode a rating a 'B'. Charlie Ducan of PinkNews opined, "The verses are surprisingly original for the umpteenth cast version of a Ru song in the past few years, and though an otherwise frontrunner stumbles in her offering, the music video is sickening."[7] Production designer Gianna Costa received an Emmy Award nomination for the episode.[8]
