TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 9: Last Chance Bitches
I, like the queens, was still in shock over Manila’s departure when this episode aired. Like, I’m fine, I’m not going to write death threats or find a safe space to retreat to – it’s part of the game, but I can’t pretend I wasn’t gutted. However, after Shangela was robbed on All Stars 3, I’ve just accepted that anything can happen. Trinity seemed to be the most vocal in saying how shocked she was that Manila was eliminated. From day 1, Trinity said she would base her decisions on track record and she has absolutely done that throughout the competition. Trinity called Latrice out for not being as upset as…

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Confirm Alan Carr & Graham Norton As Guest Judges!
Holy shit balls! As you know, I’m really bloody excited to see RuPaul’s Drag Race make its way to the UK – let’s be honest, it’s been long overdue. We know that the show will be a proper series, sadly we don’t know too much as of yet. But it will be hitting BBC Three later this year and RuPaul and Michelle Visage are definitely doing it! As for Carson Kressley and Ross Matthews, well, they’re too ‘American’, but who will take their place? Today, we have the answer and I’m honestly so fucking excited to announce that Graham Norton and Alan Carr will be the guest judges for the…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 8: RuPaul’s Best Judy Race
Makeover challenges always bring the excitement to an episode – however, this was all far too tense for my liking. First of all, holy fuck! I was not expecting that elimination. Naomi Smalls is a tactical little shade monster. I’m sure it’s no surprise to any of you reading this that Manila Luzon was sent home by Naomi Smalls despite her being the strongest contender in the competition. This was me letting the news of Manila’s departure sink in: I won’t lie, I was pretty gutted as Latrice had done fairly shit in the competition and Manila was the queen I’ve rooted for since they revealed the cast. I’m not…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 7: Queens of Clubs
Bugger me blind, we’re back to 7 queens! Yes after the pointless episode last week where we basically had to watch an hour of lipsync performances of RuPaul’s music, we finally ended up having Latrice Royale back in the competition as well all expected. However, Gia Gunn really put up a fight worthy of a competition re-entry. Of course, Latrice’s beef with Monique has ended now that she’s back in the competition. Anyway, on with the show! After last week’s rather dull episode, Ru came back with a beast of a battle for the queens. Each queen had to come up with a club night, create the theme, design the…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 6: LaLaPaRUza
Last episode’s twist had me gagged, but this week, that gag turned into a dry-heave. “Why Harry? What made you hate it so?” I’m glad you asked. The whole episode was made up of just three things; 1) A plug for RuPaul’s music 2) A reason to get Latrice Royale back in the competition 3) Really bloody boring. But that’s just me, I know some people liked it… From the last episode, we saw the twist coming and I have to say, I was almost exactly what I thought would happen. However, the ‘big twist’ that was so promisingly hype seemed to underdeliver in my eyes – but I’ll get…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, Episode 5: Roast In Peace
Gag 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 century! This episode really did have everything, comedy, a strong runway, another Stacey Layne Matthews cameo and the mother of all twists. So far, I think this was the strongest episode of All Stars 4, not because of talent, but because it had everything in it. The episode starts where (surprise) Manila reveals that she would have sent Monét home to save her best friend Latrice. For some reason, all the queens saw it as a super shady, disgraceful and tactical. From the moment Manila knew that Latrice was in the bottom, she made it very clear that she couldn’t send home her best friend. However, despite…

RuPaul’s Drag Race is coming to the UK in 2019
No ladies, this is not a drill. Our prayers have been answered! RuPaul’s Drag Race will be making its debut in the United Kingdom NEXT YEAR! Yaaass queen slay! The news was confirmed today so this is no longer a wishful rumour! The show will debut on BBC Three which is great news as that means it will be easily streamable on iPlayer. It also means no shitty adverts during the duration of the show. Bestow my beating queer heart. We know the show already has a monumental fan base that’s not just in the USA or the UK. Drag Race is now a global phenomenon with fans dotted all around…
