Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

The queens catch up before we wrap up the season, and we are reminded of the early outs we haven’t seen in months. Jasmine Kennedie takes a show-stealing role as the central point of interest for at least half of the reunion, Kornbread looks in a look, Daya has a Housewives reunion strategy, Angie has the most to drink, Kerri is officially called Narrator of the season, Maddy gets it in the boot, Orion tells a different story online, Bosco serves Cracker and June knows Bread.

While a music video for the semifinal challenge of the season is a little predictable, this episode certainly was not. Angie’s two white feet continue to trip her up in the choreography and Bosco, no longer in a corset and panties, instead serves suburban space mom. Camden tiptoes her way to the top, Daya finds herself in a sweet spot, and while you can’t spell “star” without “rats,” that doesn’t save rodent on the runway Willow from landing in the bottom against her best supporting bestie. Alas, RuPaul has one more chocolate bar tucked up her sleeve…   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

There is life before and after this week’s talent show, easily one of the best episodes in Drag Race history. (Just ask IMDb!) After an 11 queen reading challenge and a welcomed return of the Season 1 queens as a much needed studio audience, we’re treated to a night of singing, dancing, stripping, painting, birthing, keytaring and puppeteering. And a runway right out of Dragula features a whole crop of killer queens this season (and one hell of a tuber). Samantha takes another spin in the bottom against Ariel. but it’s game over for this evil resident on the runway.

The roast challenge provides plenty of laughs as contestants take their turns roasting Ross Mathews, with mixed success. Dulce Sloan's comedic guidance adds depth as contestants navigate both humor and personal growth. A notable lip sync assassin emerges amidst fierce competition, showcasing the dynamics of talent visibility. The hosts delve into the extravagant fashion and makeup during runway moments, highlighting how humor intertwines with presentation in drag culture. Emotional farewells and reflections on friendships add a bittersweet touch to the competitive landscape.

The first week is the classic combo of a photoshoot mini challenge and a themed runway, with a healthy dose of social justice corner, backstory and potential feuds laid out in the workroom. According to PinkNews, fans are already calling for guest Gloria Trevi to be a permanent judge. Meanwhile, the fallen angel on the runway rises to the top and our first out is sent home with a ribbon.

Can we just go ahead and declare this the best Rusical ever? Yes we can can can, Mary! This week the top 7 star in a jukebox musical of RuPaul staples transformed into a masterful Moulin Rouge-inspired megamix. Lady Camden makes the most of a hairy situation, Willow Pill soars as a one scene queen, and Leland gives Best Supporting Top energy. DeJa walks dogs, Angie gets a Bea Arthur moment and Daya drunk-syncs. Unfortunately Bosco’s Saltine is a little dry and Jorgeous’s face doesn’t always keep up with her hips, sending the two into a lip sync that threatened to leave a vacancy. But worry not, because the drag gods/story producers have spoken….

Honestly Mary’s, this extra special episode was actually pretty extra special, in no small part because of Principal Skye’s workroom viewing party of this lip sync smackdown. Last week’s unfortunate seven duke it out in a race to the bottom, and we finally get to see some strategic gameplay that’s not just about the drama. Daya demands respect, Willow serves just enough and never too much (air guitar, that is), Jorgeous stops by to top a threeway, Angie serves enough stage presence to win two lip syncs (some would even say she did!), Camden earns a big hug and an award-worthy camera angle for the best performance of the night, and it all comes down to a beaten down Bosco against the piñata of the season, jazzy Jasmine, who spends the whole episode losing lip syncs and still leaves with a smile on her face.

The latest Snatch Game brought plenty of surprises and mixed performances. While some queens stumbled with their celebrity choices, others, like DeJa Skye, shone brightly. The hosts dissect the mechanics of successful impersonations and the editing behind the scenes that shapes our viewing experience. They humorously explore the risks of drag performance, pulling in beloved horror film references. With insights on generational humor gaps and standout moments from past seasons, the banter keeps the laughter rolling throughout!

One of the goopiest seasons of Drag Race has a bit of a droopy conclusion as our final four lip sync for the crown and a real doozy of a musical collaboration with RuPaul. Baga, Blu, Mo and Juju run out of small talk just in time for the eliminated queens to pop by for one last runway. Untucked stirs up some old fashioned reunion style drama between Pangina and Jimbo, but it’s Lemon who gets the last laugh. In the end, Mo takes Baga out like a domino while Blu flexes and reflexes her lip sync muscles to defeat the Americans and nab it for Northern Ireland.

The Top 8 are talking dads, dadbods, dating and all things dudes for this week’s faux DragCon panel. It all feels more like the Pink Table Talk from All Stars 6, to be honest. DeJa and Bosco moderate their ways to top spots this week, Daya and little sister Jasmine continue their familial feuding, Willow gives bad handjobs and RuPaul can’t stop cooing. We discuss salty baristas, sex symbols like Lou Grant and Bob Hoskins, our own mixed emotions about DragCon, a surprise pizza queen, and who exactly won this lip sync. (Spoiler alert: it was Lady Camden.)
