TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race S11 Ep 10: Dragracadabra
Before I get into the episode I’m going to start off with a *SPOILER* for this episode. You’ve all seen how it ends and I think it was a joke. Shuga 👏🏻 was 👏🏻 robbed 👏🏻 ! It was obvious that the show wanted to get rid of Shuga as they didn’t see her as finale material but I thought Silky or Yvie should have been in the lipsync. Am I wrong? Well, you know the answer to that. The decision was a farce. But hey, Vanjie’s skirted by in her bathing suits all season and Silky has just played herself in every acting challenge so I can’t say I was surprised. The episode…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race S11 Ep 9: L.A.D.P.!
After that double save last week (which was absolutely deserved), the queens know knew that the stakes had been raised and there most likely wouldn’t be another chance at a double save. With the competition hotting up, the queens know they can’t slip up at any point, don’t believe me? Just ask Plastique *spoiler*. But jokes aside, I really felt like Plastique was robbed this week – yes, she didn’t wear a facekini this week but she had a much stronger track record than Vanjie and I felt with both lipsyncs being on par, the track record should come into play as to who stays in the competition. As you…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race S11 Ep 8: Snatch Game at Sea
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the one you’ve all been waiting for – Snatch Game is finally here! The episode of episodes and a fan favourite for all where the queens battle it out with their best celebrity impersonations. But before we get into it, there’s some unresolved beef in the werkroom to address. Silky is still bitter that Yvie called her talentless, which I do get, but it’s obvious Silky straight up hates Yvie and that bit can’t be ignored. But it was Vanjie and Yvie that blew up on the red couch as they reentered after Ra’Jah’s elimination. Shit the bed, I know we all love seeing drama on…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race S11 Ep 7: From Farm To Runway
I, like most of you reading this are still saddened by the outright criminal activity that was Scarlet being robbed last week. I mean, what the hell was RuPaul thinking?! She was definitely on some sort of trip – either that or Ra’Jah is her illegitimate son. The episode started with tensions as high the decibels in Vanjie’s ‘indoor voice’. Straight away, Ra’Jah was saying how she didn’t want to read Scarlet’s message and she just wanted to scrub it out and not give her the time of day. Firstly, that’s rude as hell – it’s the queens parting message to the other contestants, don’t be nasty. Ra’Jah was so damn…

TV Review: RuPaul’s Drag Race S11 Ep 5: Monster Ball
From political satire to spooky attire, it’s time for the Monster Ball! Yes, we knew there would be a ball on the cards and this time, the show decided to do it a little early so we can see what the queens’ standards are. Screw it, I’m just going to get straight into the toots and boots. It wasn’t a particularly memorable episode so I may as well just get straight into the critiques. The Maxi Challenge – Monster Ball This week, Ru was giving the queens a ball, a Monster Ball to be precise. They had to serve up three ghoulishly glamourous looks. The first look, ‘Trampy Trick or…

RuPaul’s Drag Race: Season 11 – Meet The Queens
Well, whaddya know? Badda-bing-badda-boom. We haven’t even finished All Stars 4 yet and already we’ve been given the ‘Meet The Queens’ for Season 11 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Curl your lashes, slap on some lippy and start your engines! 14 brand new queens will be entering the werkroom and 1 queen will be returning? Who could it? Oh fuck it, we all know it’s Miss Vanjie and gay men shuddered all around the world when they realised that straight girls everywhere will be screaming ‘Miss Vanjie’ in every gay bar/drag show everywhere imaginable… great. A pretty colourful promo trailer right? I’d like to say that the show has given as…

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…
