It’s time to wrap up Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race with a finale extravaganza. Who was crowned the victor after this 2 hour episode? Will it be Jinkx? (A fan favorite, but apparently not favored by other contestants.) Alaska? (Can a couple produce 2 champions?) Roxxxy Andrews? (Not a popular fan choice, but this is Ru’s decision and hers alone.) Why am I showing a picture of Detox when she can’t possibly win? Because that monochrome makeup is SICKENING. Can I get an amen? If this episode is feeling too long for you, why not head on over to [...]

Otherwise known as a clip show, RuPaul’s Drag Race brings us the Season 5 Countdown to the Crown! It’s a look back at all of Season 5. The memorable and not-so-memorable queens who have left us earlier this season. Is it a fun episode? Sure. Will you learn anything earth-shattering? No. Absolutely not. Will you be prompted to visit the vast array of RuPaul online media outlets to cast your vote for the winner of Season 5? Oh, you bet you will! So to that end, remember that you can declare your allegiance to #TeamJinkx, #TeamAlaska or #TeamRoxxxy at the [...]

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 is down to the final 4 — RoLaskaToxx and Jinkx Monsoon. Roxxxy being ‘mean’ to Jinkx & then Jinkx looks all forlorn. The shade of it all! At least that’s the way the episode is being edited. Half the time in this episode and the corresponding Untucked, the four contestants seem to be having a good time with each other. The mini-challenge is an old-fashioned bitchfest. With puppets. Well done on the cross-promotion, LOGO. The network seems to be getting the hang of this. The drag queens have to pull a puppet out of the [...]

AT-TEN-TION! This week on RuPaul’s Drag Race the dragtestants need to makeover their drag sister. Those drag sisters are newly-out gay veterans. Some appear to be in their 20s or 30s, while the oldest is in his 60s. To pair up the family members, the drag queens need to go to drag booty camp for a military-style workout. Putting them through the paces is Storm from Barry’s Boot Camp. Fans in  Southern California can enjoy his Butts & Legs class a couple of times today, so work it out. I live in Milwaukee, where no trainer, or anyone else, is [...]

And we’re back squirrel-friends! RuPaul’s Drag Race has returned from their brief, no-apparent reason hiatus. Apparently we want to space this season out to give us an end-of-April wrap party. Ivy’s gone & Ru shows up to randomly make the dragtestants cry. Ok, I’m all for suspended disbelief, but come on Ru. This mini-challenge totally came off as ‘which one of you hasn’t cried/opened up something really personal & painful yet – ok time for Detox to cry!’ Sigh. I appreciate getting to know the cast & their backstories, but these random confessionals out of nowhere could be relegated to [...]

After a super-emotional episode last week, we need a little levity this week. So RuPaul’s Drag Race gives us what could be a super-campy main challenge. The task this week is to come up with a signature fragrance — its bottle & name — and then come up with a commercial for that fragrance. But first, Drag Racers, one must have a mini-challenge. And this week the mini-challenge is …. Whatcha Packin’? It’s a dirty version of a match game. The Pit Crew has grown to over 20 members — the queens have to ask 2 members to drop trou [...]

The library is open on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 5! Reading is fun-damental, hunties! The episode begins with Alaska cutting the creamy middle out of RoLaskaToxx. About time, Alaska. She’s figured out that she doesn’t stand out in the group, and with only 7 queens left, she needs to stand out. We don’t dwell on that too long at the start, so I don’t think anyone was surprised.
