After a super-emotional episode last week, we need a little levity this week. So RuPaul’s Drag Race gives us what could be a super-campy main challenge. The task this week is to come up with a signature fragrance — its bottle & name — and then come up with a commercial for that fragrance. But first, Drag Racers, one must have a mini-challenge. And this week the mini-challenge is …. Whatcha Packin’? It’s a dirty version of a match game. The Pit Crew has grown to over 20 members — the queens have to ask 2 members to drop trou […]

The library is open on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 5! Reading is fun-damental, hunties! The episode begins with Alaska cutting the creamy middle out of RoLaskaToxx. About time, Alaska. She’s figured out that she doesn’t stand out in the group, and with only 7 queens left, she needs to stand out. We don’t dwell on that too long at the start, so I don’t think anyone was surprised.

After last week’s RuPaul’s Drag Race season 5 Snatch Game episode, I’m fully expecting this week’s episode to be a little bit of a let down. Jinkx Monsoon can’t carry the entire season. Some of the other drag queens are going to have to start getting entertaining & not just bitching at each other. This week’s mini-challenge involves putting their face on in the dark. Meh. They were all upset & no one really looked all that bad. Or perhaps they all looked bad, but they were all the same level of bad. Alaska at least makes it interesting by […]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, ladies and ladyboys – it’s that time again. Time for the ever-popular, most awesome Snatch Game episode for RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5. Squee! Let’s recap the highlights – season 4 gave us Sharon Needles as Michelle Visage and Chad Michaels as Cher. Season 3 gave us Raja as Tyra Banks and Stacey Lane Matthews as Mo’Nique’s character from the movie Precious.  Pandora Boxx went classic as Carol Channing, and Tatianna was called ‘eerily accurate’ in her portrayal of Britney Spears in Season 2. And season 1 was just sad in comparison because there […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 has promised us something shocking, SHOCKING I say! Supposedly we’ll never see it coming! I better be surprised RuPaul… This episode deals with dance for some reason. Oh, yeah, America’s Next Drag Superstar needs to bring it! And Ru brings it with a giant ‘fro wig. It’s a Soul Train dance-off! The two winners of this mini-challenge are Jinkx Monsoon & Coco Montrese. The main challenge is to create a modern drag ballet. And because Alyssa is a dancer, Coco picks her first. The faces the other queens make are priceless. Please see Roxxxy Andrews […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race season 5 continues with a final farewell to Serena Chacha. That didn’t last long. We’re finally getting down to the T of what happened in the Miss Gay America 2010 pageant. Oh, not at the beginning of the episode, of course. Give it time girls, give it time. We must first tease that we’re going to get more info, before we just get on with it. First we need a mini-challenge, and this one is fabulous. It’s the junior drag superstar pageant. The contestants are child-sized mannequins that need to be painted in 15 minutes. Some queens […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 episode 2 begins with the queens recapping from last week’s elimination of Penny Tration. Bye Penny! The remaining queens miss you. Would they have missed Serena Chacha? Mmmm… not so much, probably. Ro-Laska-Tox – is the mix of Roxxxy Andrews, Alaska and Detox! Yay! The cute names & Heathers-like behavior has begun! Ok, it didn’t really begin with episode 2, but it took until episode 2 to make it official & give it a name. This week’s challenge focuses on the lip synch. The mini-challenge involves lip synching to various RuPaul hits, within a cutout […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race is all about the drama. As a reality show, we can be pretty confident that most of that drama is manufactured from the minds of World of Wonder. This season, however, bakes the drama in from the first episode.  The queens strut into the workroom, one by one. Each of them have the Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent needed to win, according to RuPaul. Some of the queens know each other; others do not & feel a little outcast. And then it happens.
