RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 5 Episode 1: Werq the World
It’s that time again where we’re ready to see another group of All Stars compete for a second shot at the crown (a third time if you’re Jujubee). As usual, the queens compete for the chance at a crown and a cash prize of $100,000. All Stars is a great concept as we get to see some of our favourite queens (as well as some questionable castings) compete again for our viewing pleasure. However, there have been some rough turns along the way. All Stars 1 was a disaster from the first episode thanks to the paired-queens format. All Stars 2 (which is arguably the best season in Drag Race history)…

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 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 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.…

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK – S1 Ep7: The Drag Family Scandal Of The Century
I’m going to try and keep this episode as short and sweet as possible because I’m TRIGGERED! This decision has split the Drag Race fans into two camps, those that think Cheryl overstayed her welcome and those who think she deserved to win this week. I fall heavily into the camp of Cheryl being robbed by this week’s Drag Family challenge. Cheryl had by far the strongest look and family resemblance. I know Cheryl thought her and her sister looked really similar out of drag but they didn’t really. However, she created a legitimate twin – and a drag one at that! The hair and makeup was spot on and…

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK – S1 Ep6: Thirsty Werk
A few weeks back you may remember (if you’ve read my other Drag Race UK reviews) that I made a wee little prediction/conspiracy theory. I said that Cheryl Hole (despite being in the bottom for virtually every episode) is being saved until Cheryl Cole came in as a guest judge. There I said she would either lipsync in front of her hero and win – giving her validation or go home in front of her hero which would create a dramatic TV moment. Well, it turns out I was correct. She won the lipsync and got that moment from her idol. If you’ll pardon the pun, this episode is going…

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK – S1 Ep5: Break Up (Bye Bye)
A wise man named Mahatma Gandhi once said; “Fuckin’ hell hun, that was a top-notch episode of Drag Race this week!” and he couldn’t have been more correct. Drag Race UK has already had such a huge impact despite being so new. The series has been phenomenal so far with the camp, the kitsch and the cut-throat humour but this episode for me has just pushed the marker even higher! Could it have Ru wanting to Break Up (Bye Bye) from the American seasons? This episode had everything – drama, conflict, comedy, singing, dancing, innuendo and a fuck-tonne of tears. I’m unbelievably thankful for this UK season and so proud…

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK – S1 Ep3: Car Boot The House Down
I, like most fans of the show, get so excited for the design challenges and guess what? The time has come! Get your pennies ready for the gayest car boot in town. Derrick Barry would be pleased to know that the queens sewed a hem this week. A design challenge using unconventional materials always manages to send a tickle to my tuppence as we really get to see what each queen can creatively bring and execute on the main stage. Last week we saw our second fatality of the season and it was the youngest (and least experienced) competitor in the pack. The Vivienne thinks that the ‘dead weight’ is gone…
