RuPaul’s Drag Race

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 episode 6 starts with Laganja Estranga letting us know up front that she’s not used to losing. Oh honey you’re going to have to get used to the not winning. It happens a lot in life, even when you try your best or when you’re a really great person. It’s called life. Hunty. With that, we set up potential future conflict between Laganja and Adore as well as BenDeLaCreme and Darienne Lake. To be clear: Darienne is mad at BenDeLaCreme because Ben is happy she won a 2nd challenge. Again, Darienne, sometimes people win more […]

Before we get to what we’re all waiting for – the Snatch Game – first we must set up some issues. Darienne thinks Milk should’ve been in the bottom because of her outfit. Psst… Darienne, maybe your bottom 3 moment was courtesy of your performance in the Rusical, not the runway ensemble. We’re also reminded of the Bianca/Laganja fight that’s pretty much just on the Laganja side and not really a fight. Let’s give a quick rundown of who is doing whom in the Season 6 version of Snatch Game: Adore Delano as Anna Nicole Smith BenDeLaCreme as Maggie Smith […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 Episode 4 doesn’t waste any time getting into the Australian vs American Idol via a musical theater challenge. But first we have a bit of shade being thrown between Gia Gunn and Bianca Del Rio. The mini-challenge features some guy (Ian Drew) from Us Magazine. Whatever, national recognition. Pout. The game is Female or She-Male with close-ups of body parts. From those close-ups one must determine if that person is female or just pretending to be that way. The guy from Us Magazine is there to provide “color” commentary on each guess. The winners are […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 episode 3 begins as expected. While the showdown between the 2 halves of the cast was set, what followed was “Hi Gurl! What’s your name?” You didn’t expect them to stay standoffish for long, did you? Besides, now it’s time for the passive-aggressive bitchery to begin. Oh, Bianca Del Rio, give it to Gia Gunn. Give it good. Didn’t appear like anyone from one team knew someone from the other team ahead of time, which makes sense if Ru is trying to set up a rivalry between the two. It would’ve been fun had their […]

Last week on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 we met the first half of the dragtestants. Now it’s time to meet the 2nd group in RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 episode 2. The second group gets to come in to the workroom after the first group has a mini celebration with cupcakes, some kind of pink drink and silly string. Mama Ru has to let them girls have it so they’ll go to bed. Don’t make Mama mad! And so the next morning, or the next week or whatever kind of illusion we’re trying to foster here…. (wink, wink) the […]

Downton Abbey is done. The Olympics are over. What a perfect time to keep my television viewing habits going and start RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6! Yay! Who needs to get up off the couch? Ru is setting us up to believe that there’s some sort of horror/slasher movie theme this season. Whatever. After watching this first episode, I can report that there were no references to blood or horror at all. We’ll see if that holds up for the season. And speaking of seasons, we’re treated to our first twist of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6, and it’s a […]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 1 Episode 2 opens with Ru telling us in his pop-up that this episode marks the first group challenge in Drag Race herstory. “Long ago, when the lighting was hard, and the focus was always soft…” – RuPaul I love it when RuPaul throws shade at herself. Is there a term for that? Self shade? Boomerang shade? Shady boomerang? Someone get on that & make it snappy. One thing I didn’t notice in last week’s episode is the TV Ru uses to tease the episode’s challenge. It’s like the AV club cart from high school. Only […]

Lo these many years ago, a little show called RuPaul’s Drag Race debuted. And while the show would go on to win fans all over the world, when it came time for Saturday marathons, the first season has always been conspicuously missing. Well no more. Logo is re-running the entire first season. So start your engines – here comes RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 1 episode 1! Let’s look at how The Big Gay Sketch Show embodied it before we get started (Don’t play if you don’t like the naughty words that RuPaul has bleeped every week. They’re not bleeped here.): […]

It’s time to wrap up Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race with a finale extravaganza. Who was crowned the victor after this 2 hour episode? Will it be Jinkx? (A fan favorite, but apparently not favored by other contestants.) Alaska? (Can a couple produce 2 champions?) Roxxxy Andrews? (Not a popular fan choice, but this is Ru’s decision and hers alone.) Why am I showing a picture of Detox when she can’t possibly win? Because that monochrome makeup is SICKENING. Can I get an amen? If this episode is feeling too long for you, why not head on over to […]

Otherwise known as a clip show, RuPaul’s Drag Race brings us the Season 5 Countdown to the Crown! It’s a look back at all of Season 5. The memorable and not-so-memorable queens who have left us earlier this season. Is it a fun episode? Sure. Will you learn anything earth-shattering? No. Absolutely not. Will you be prompted to visit the vast array of RuPaul online media outlets to cast your vote for the winner of Season 5? Oh, you bet you will! So to that end, remember that you can declare your allegiance to #TeamJinkx, #TeamAlaska or #TeamRoxxxy at the […]
