House of Gucci

**Gorgeous House of Gucci**, or **House of Gucci**, is a ballroom house created in 2019 by former members of the House of Mizrahi. These previous members include Jack Mizrahi, Kelly Mizrahi, Marlon Mizrahi, and Trace Mizrahi. They created the Gorgeous House of Gucci as a result of an internal conflict between them and the founder of the House of Mizrahi, as they did not like the path the house was going down. As a result, they founded the Gorgeous House of Gucci, which consists of more than two hundred members internationally. In 2020, the overall fathers are Gorgeous Jarrell Gucci and Gorgeous Ira Gucci, and the overall mother is Gorgeous Lola Gucci.

The Gorgeous House of Gucci appears in the first season of the HBO Max original reality-competition series "Legendary". The House of Gucci is a newer ballroom House, having been created after the House of West. The House of Gucci's members shine on the runway and consider themselves as glamorous, but they are also adept at voguing.

## Members

The House of Gorgeous Gucci consists of:

* Father Jarrell Gucci
* Delicious Gucci
* Deshon Gucci
* Jeter Gucci
* Miracle Gucci

## House Progress

**10s**: House of Gucci earned 10s or was not chopped from the category.
**✖**: House of Gucci was chopped from this category in the first round.
## Behind the Scenes

During the practice for the episode three Circus Bezerkus performance, Delicious Gucci and Miracle Gucci get into a heated argument, causing Miracle to leave the set and quit the show. Allegedly, what was not shown on camera was that Delicious insulted Miracle on some aspect of his health (known as a "health read"), which caused Miracle to slap Delicious and leave the show. In the ballroom community, a health read is considered extremely disrespectful and is not something that is taken lightly.

In the episode eight Atlantis category "Octo Pus Pus Party", during the critiques, Jarrell Gucci notices guest judge Tamar Braxton lean over to judge Leiomy Maldonado and ask her a question, but he only sees Tamar lean over and does not hear what the judges say to each other. He concludes that Tamar asked Leiomy a question about which house she should vote for, and exclaims that he will bring this situation up when he is on the stage later in the ball. According to Pack-Rat Lanvin on her Instagram story, guest judge Tamar Braxton initially voted for the House of La'Gorgeous to win the category, but changed her vote after leaning over to Leiomy to ask her a question. This was not shown in the final cut of the episode, and instead we only see Tamar initially vote for the House of Bal'Scada.

## Welcome to My House

In Welcome to My House, the House of Gucci must make their first statement to their judges, which is typically called "The Grand March" in the ballroom. Gucci must create and choreograph a performance that is true to their House.

In the performance, Gucci performs a vogue-oriented performance while wearing old Hollywood glamour inspired outfits; the four boys wear tuxedo-inspired garments while Delicious is in a pink gown that tears away into a leotard. The judges give praise for the cohesive outfit choices and clear story, and enjoy the positive energy of the performance.

Allegedly, what was not shown on camera was that Delicious insulted Miracle on some aspect of his health (known as a "health read"), which caused Miracle to slap Delicious and leave the show. In the ballroom community, a health read is considered extremely disrespectful and is not something that is taken lightly.

### Performance

House of Gucci's performance is a The Purge-themed performance. Delicious and Miracle disagree during rehearsal, and Miracle leaves the competition after a heated argument. The judges give positive critiques for Gucci's ability to make the performance feel complete without a fifth member. Law Roach and Dominique Jackson argue over if Gucci's costume and design looks "stunning". Jackson asserts "they're not that stunning", and Delicious Gucci in turn insults the guest judge Jackson, exclaiming "You're not that stunning, Pretty."

### Mannequin Showcase

House of Gucci's performance is a bank heist, where Delicious Gucci is the boss, Deshion Gucci and Jeter Gucci are the henchman, and Jarrell Gucci is the sheriff.

## Atlantis

In Atlantis, the House of Gucci, teamed up with the House of Lanvin to form the mega-house of La'Gorgeous, must walk five categories in a underwater-themed ball.

### Tales from Atlantis

In the category, Eyricka Lanvin chooses to walk face, Zay Lanvin chooses to walk runway, and Makayla Lanvin chooses to perform vogue.

After the performance, judge Leiomy Maldonado expresses disappointment that only members from the original House of Lanvin participated in the category, instead of adhering to the mega-house theme. However, judge Law Roach disagrees and believes it was a strategic idea to bring out the the top contenders of the competition to walk the category, as the House of Lanvin has already won four superior house titles.

Judges Jameela Jamil and Megan Thee Stallion choose the House of Bal'Scada as their favorite, but the remaining three judges choose the House of La'Gorgeous. Thus, the House of La'Gorgeous wins this category.

### Octo Pus Pus Party

Delicious Gucci, Jeter Gucci, Carlos Lanvin, and Pack-Rat Lanvin choose to walk this category. Carlos and Jeter participate in this category because they are known for excelling in hand-performance. In their performance, La'Gorgeous wears jellyfish inspired garments and headdresses.

After their performance, the judges feel the La'Gorgeous members were out of sync, but they give positive critiques for the makeup and fashion choices. Judge Law Roach expresses discontentment with both of the mega-house's performances, as he does not believe any of the two performances were worthy of winning the grand prize of $100,000.

During the critiques, Jarrell Gucci notices guest judge Tamar Braxton lean over to judge Leiomy Maldonado and ask her a question, but he only sees Tamar lean over and does not hear what the judges say to each other. He concludes that Tamar asked Leiomy a question about which house she should vote for, and exclaims that he will bring this situation up when he is on the stage later in the ball.

According to Pack-Rat Lanvin on her Instagram story, guest judge Tamar Braxton initially voted for the House of La'Gorgeous to win the category, but changed her vote after leaning over to Leiomy to ask her a question. This was not shown in the final cut of the episode, and instead we only see Tamar initially vote for the House of Bal'Scada.

At the end of the critiques, the judges give three votes to the House of Bal'Scada, and they win the category.

### Merfolk Physiques

Jarrell Gucci chooses to walk this category, as he typically walks body and sex siren categories in the ballroom scene. He also wants to redeem himself for losing the earlier body category of the season, "Sheriff of Seduction", during episode four Wild Wild West.

In the first round, he must perform alone, and in the second round he must battle against a member from the Mega-House of Bal'Scada. He competes against Cali Balmain from the Mega-House of Bal'Scada in the second round, and the judges choose Jarrell as the winner of this category.

### To Sea or Not to Sea

Deshon Gucci and Pack-Rat Lanvin choose to walk this category, with Deshon performing a dramatics style of vogue and Pack-Rat performing a soft and feminine style of vogue.

In the first round, they must perform as a duo, and then battle against the duo from the Mega-House of Bal'Scada in the second round. They compete against Shyanne Escada and Torie Balmain from the Mega-House of Bal'Scada in the second round, and the judges choose Shyanne and Torie as the winners of this category.

### Rich Fish Bitch

Eyricka Lanvin and Jarrell Gucci choose to walk this category. In the first round, they must perform as a duo, and then battle against a duo from the Mega-House of Bal'Scada in the second round. They compete against London Escada and Jamari Balmain in the second round.

During the battle, there is noticeable tension between Eyricka and London, and they throw shade to each other as they perform in front of the judges. Eyricka tries to convince the judges that her house's looks are better in terms of fashion, but London continually exclaims that Eyricka is wearing the same outfit that she wore in the "Tales from Atlantis" category.

After the battle, the judges express that the duo from the Mega-House of Bal'Scada had a more "bizarre" fashion choice, and that is what the category called for, thus they choose London and Jamari as the winners of this category.

### Outcome

Since the House of La'Gorgeous only won two of the ball's five categories, the House of Gucci and the House of Lanvin are automatically placed in the bottom two, and must participate in a vogue redemption battle.

Father Gorgeous Jarrell Gucci chooses Jeter Gucci, and mother Eyricka Lanvin chooses Makayla Lanvin to participate in the battle. After the battle, the judges choose Makayla and the House of Lanvin to stay in the competition and compete in the final ball. Therefore, the House of Gucci is eliminated from the competition and come in fourth place overall.
