Once again, after another extavaganza of a finale and a last-second coronation, we turned to each other and said, “Now, how in the hell are we supposed to recap THAT?”   We’ll just say it: we hate the show’s turn toward even grander artifice in the last few...

Darlings, Sausage Friday continues as we all witness the seasonal plumage display of the American drag queen. The ladies were out in their finest for the Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 5 Finale, Reunion & Coronation taping. Enjoy the DRAGSTRAVAGANZA, darlings! As far as we’re...

Understand that we state this merely as an observation and not a complaint, but the penultimate RPDR season episode is always a little dull to us.   Drag Race is extremely upfront about how artificial it is – like a drag itself in a lot of ways. So at this stage in the game,...

It’s funny. We didn’t realize until last night that somehow we got it in our heads that no one from this group could be eliminated. Believe us, there’s at least one person in this foursome we would love to see get eliminated, but somehow we just assumed that Ru would allow...

It just occurred to us that we really haven’t addressed something of grand importance in the world of RPDR and it’s time we did so.   White Pit Crew should never have shaved. And his tats are kind of goofy-looking. Black Pit Crew looks perfect, as always.   Storm. His...

We suppose the opening minutes provided a clue as to how this episode was going to go.   We didn’t love the sharing circle idea, just because it’s one of those goofy challenges that doesn’t really have anything to do with drag, as far as we can tell.   Oh, sure;...

Despite a first ten minutes comprising the following: We were a little bored with the episode. No complaints about that first ten minutes, though. Except for maybe finding Andrew Christian a little precious, but that’s just us.   Big. Black.   Barbie. Brava.   Maybe this...

Mamas! Mascara tracks! This one had it all, darlings. Granted, we almost never believe the queens on this show when they put on a teary scene, but we suppose we’ll have to let our hearts soften a little and pretend to take the tears at face value. And a Happy St. Patricks Day to you...

We’re running late, so let’s get to it, bitches.   We think all reality competitions could be improved by the occasional use of night vision goggles.   We also think it’s so brilliant to make the queens put on their makeup in the dark that we’re a bit...

  Frankly, we don’t even know why they bother with a mini-challenge during the Snatch Game episode. Everyone just wants to get to the main event.   Gratuitous.   We don’t know if it was because we were exhausted from roughly 18 hours of Oscar coverage in a 24-hour...

We feel a little bad starting off this recap with what sounds like a complaint, but the challenges this episode were just okay. At least, that’s what we thought at first.   The theme was dance, and for the most part, it was basically a way of just stepping back and letting the...

It took us a while to get to it, what with Fashion Week and all, but we can see why so many of you were screaming at us to get to this recap. This episode was hilarious.   We don’t know how the hell this show manages to come up with fun, original challenges every week.  ...

This was a fun and funny cha– Jesus Christ, is that thing on the right real?   Only Ru. Where else can you find quality television like this? We were talking about it this morning (as we are wont to do) and it’s interesting to us that, as gay people become more and more...

YAY! It’s back!   And y’know? It was honestly such a good opening episode that it caught us off guard just a little, proving (to us, at least) that RPDR has not yet surrendered to the been-there-done-that-ism of Project Runway. There’s still some life in the old girl....

Of COURSE we didn’t forget, darlings! Think of it as our little pre-Thanksgiving gift to you. Complete with meat. Good GOD, those ladies look ROUGH. This was cute enough, we suppose. We find ourselves missing the occasional photo shoot. These challenges are designed to put the queens in...

HERE! HERE’S YOUR DAMN RECAP, WHINERS! What we mean by that is, sorry we’re a day late, darlings. Is it us, or is the Pit Crew criminally under-used this season? Here endeth the complaint portion of this recap. Because this was the first top-to-bottom enjoyable episode of the...

In the past, if we didn’t have a Drag Race recap up by 12 noon the following day, our inbox and twitter would be full of kittens demanding to know when we were going to get if done already. This season? Nary a peep, even if we don’t get it up until late in the afternoon. What does...

  Bless. Doing a drag version of The Newlywed Game? Brilliant.   Having everyone perform it out of drag? Missed opportunity. But Miss Ru loves her some ’70s game show realness, so this was mostly fun.   This was … kinda not.   WELL into this segment – and...

Kittens, we were traveling and doing real-world stuff for a couple of days, so can you forgive us for being late on this recap? Can you, darlings? Really? Because some of y’all were quite annoyed with us for not paying Ru’s Girls the respect that they’re entitled to; the...

Oh shit, you guys. Logo revealed the breathlessly-awaited lineup for Rupaul’s Drag Race All-Stars, starting in October, and … well, just see for yourselves.     Latrice Royal, Pandora Boxx, and Jujubee ALL AT THE SAME TIME? WHO THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO ROOT FOR? Who...

What a sad, silly way to end a decent season of the show.   Don’t get us wrong; we like the idea of LOGO putting on a staged dragstravaganza, but we’d rather see them attempt it as a variety show or series of specials rather than as a hastily put-together afterthought for a...
