RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep7: Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical
The Snatch Game is over and now it’s time for the next challenge. We’ve seen sewing, we’ve done acting and we’ve had the impressions and a terrible improv challenge but now it’s time for a musical. More specifically; Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical! But before we get into it, let’s talk about the start of the episode. Brita sent home Aiden which you can tell she was thrilled about but then acted all gutted and like she had to say bye to her best pal. How Brita acted: How Brita felt: This couldn’t have been more false and I’m glad Widow addressed it in her confessional but I wish she did it in…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep6: The Snatch Game
Quelle surprise, the episode starts with Brita kicking off at Aiden because she felt she should have been in the bottom. Guess what Brita, she was in the top and you just escaped the lipsync. Don’t get Brita – just get better. Still, its time for Brita to put her money where her mouth is because she’ll be acting solo this week for The Snatch Game! The Mini-Challenge – Zero-PPE Exposure to Vanjie There wasn’t really a mini-challenge this week. Instead, the queens just had to be in the vicinity of Vanjie yelling, hitting on the queens and offering terrible advice. Vanjie literally did one of the worst Snatch Game…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep5: Gay’s Anatomy
From a sewing challenge into an acting challenge – this is the show’s format that I’ve loved and missed. Gay’s Anatomy was pretty darn good in my opinion – and that’s kind of what this blog is about so yeah, I liked it. I have to be honest, this one was fun (and you know these acting challenges can usually go one of two ways *cough* “Shakesqueer” *cough*). Quelle surprise, the episode started with Brita being a Bitter Betty to Aiden. Guess what, your outfits were shit and that’s why you lipsynced and not her. Also, Rock’s outfits were a mess. Yes we all like her but Aiden’s looks were more…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep4: The Ball Ball
After last week’s ‘World’s Worst‘ episode and saying by to our first queen, Dahlia, the competition is very much on the way. But will this week be a step up from the last? I think so. Why? Well, because its time for a ball – The Ball Ball to be specific! Now, there are a lot of outfits to talk about here so I’m going to try my best to blitz through it as quickly as possible. The Mini Challenge – Queen Bees As you know, every season seems to have some sort of weird dance break, get into a weird costume type of challenge these days. Season 12 was…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep3: The World’s Worst
I’m just going to throw it out there, I thought this episode was DREADFUL! Legitimately, it was fitting that the episode was called The World’s Worst because this episode is definitely up there. Like the ‘The Bossy Rossy Show‘ challenge of Season 10, this improv challenge felt too forced into a narrative due to Ross Matthew’s bad puns and awkward pre-made characters. Anyway, this was the moderately-anticipated moment we saw all the queens come together. Will they love each other, will they hate each other? Will it be the same as Season 6’s drama? Probably. The queens had a bit of interaction with each other. The first week did a…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep2: You Don’t Know Me
Here we go, the second half of the cast are ready to join the party! Before I review the episode, I’m going to throw a quick spoiler out there – I thought this episode was substantially better than the first episode. Just saying. The first queens might be ‘that bitch’ but these girls are here to say “You don’t know me”. So far the season is shaping up to be a fun one but I do have to address the elephant in the room… The Sherry Pie Drama You may very well have noticed this little introduction to the episode this week: While a lot of people are trying to…

Let’s Address The Sherry Pie Problem
I know this is a bit of a touch-and-go topic to talk about but I feel like it needs addressing. Sherry Pie, real name Joey Gugliemelli, is a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12. So far, she’s been killing the competition. Sherry Pie’s campy persona, quick wit and bundles of talent which actually makes this all a little more awkward. By now, I’m sure all you gays and girls know about the Sherry Pie scandal. If not, let me brief it because I don’t want to give it too much air time. The Sherry Pie Scandal At some point in her past (during her time at university I believe),…

RuPaul’s Drag Race S12 Ep1: I’m That Bitch
Here we go gays and girls, are you ready for a new season of Drag Race? Season 12 is here and each queen had a message for the world; “I’m That Bitch“. The show decided to split the group in two, much like they did in Season 6… you know, that format that everybody hated! I don’t want to wait another week to meet the whole cast, I want them now. Whenever I revisit Season 6 (and let’s be honest, I do it a lot because it was the golden era of Drag Race) I skip the first two episodes and start where all the queens are together. But enough…

BAM! RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 – Meet The Queens
God Bless Ame-Ru-ca! It seems that there’s not much time left to wait for my next Drag Race fix. I feel like we’ve only just finished the UK season and now RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 is just around the corner! With a new season of All Stars, talks of Drag Race Canada & Drag Race Australia, another Drag Race UK and Season 12, 2020 is shaping up to be a big year for all things drag, camp and gay. I’m not going to spend too much time fluffing this post, let’s just get straight into it! RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 – Meet The Queens video Firstly, it seems they’ve put…

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK – S1 Ep8: The Great British Drag-Off Finale
I, like most Drag Race fans, am sad to see this season end. We’ve had highs, we’ve had lows and we’ve had a whole lot of ‘battered sausage’ references. For the first season EVER of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, the queens did fucking phenomenal! I think each and every queen represented the UK’s diversity, talent and humour spectacularly and they should be tremendously proud of paving the way for future UK seasons of the show. After the Rigga Morris of Cheryl being thrown in the bottom last week (come at me bro, I stand by it), we saw Divina De Campo, The Vivienne and Baga Chipz as our holy trinity.…
