Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

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.)

Before one of these queens can win the chance to record a song with RuPaul, they need to write and record a song with RuPaul! This extended audition of an episode gave us a supersized Social Justice Corner, which got us on some pretty heavy topics this week, from addiction to religion to conversion therapy, so get ready to go deep, Mary. Pangina remains in the competition via a Best Supporting Purse, Juju throws the fucks around in the workroom, Janey’s gotta hum, Mo masks up on the runway, Blu lives and dies by the sword and Baga snags a safe passage to the finale.

Welcome to the 60’s, Mary! The Top 9 split up into three mid-century American musical acts to channel a bygone era of TV. And honestly, they all kind of kill it. Jorgeous talks her way out of singing, Angeria dials into Diana Ross, and DeJa wins the episode the moment she puts that robe on. Jasmine and Daya attempt to have workroom conflict, Bosco and Lady Camden are page turners in the reading challenge, Willow taps in as narrator and Kerri Colby packs up her classroom and takes our hearts with her.

No matter what happened in Snatch Game this week, the shocking elimination of frontrunner/perfect queen Pangina Heals is what most people will remember from this week’s episode. Needless to say, we have lots to say. And lots to celebrate still, including Jujubee’s crazy stupid Cher, Baga’s surprisingly studied Annie Wilkes and a variety of takes on cancel culture that we’ll have even more to say about in Nuance, once we’ve picked ourselves up off the floor… 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)

In essentially an extended episode of Punk’d, the queens are serving high class camp and lowbrow punchlines in this week’s acting challenge with a twist. Let’s just say everyone’s inner saboteur comes out, some more forceful than others, but at least no one goes home for it. Lady Camden finally gets a win (not to be confused with wind), Daya means business on the runway, DeJa Skye refuses to stop giving Big Principal Energy, Jasmine Kennedie refuses to stop giving Little Alyssa Energy, Bosco champions the importance of backrooms and Kerri Colby continues to narrate the hell out of this season.

The queens bring the worst of the West End to life in a smash hit of a Rusical/CabeRu/RuView/fake BBC talent show. But the real drama begins much earlier in the workroom, with the reveal of Juju’s lipstick in Jimbo’s bra. Baga keeps it bratty in rehearsals but continues her safe streak, Blu joins her for another week, Mo cartwheels after them, Juju serves Liza with the minimum Minelli, Janey reaps the rewards for her Streep, Pangina delivers on grimey Annie granny, and we’re not quite sure what happened with Jimbo but we can’t say we don’t love what her surprise exit from the show has given us on social media and in post-show interviews. To say nothing of that iconic Vengaboys lip sync this week, which we in fact say a lot about!

The queens are creating next day deliveries of custom couture designed completely from Michelle’s Glambien fueled Wishlist. (Relatable content.) Another design challenge may have Kerri Colby hoping for a miracle, but as a narrator, she is an All Star. Meanwhile Daya is making points about this week’s judging, even if her method still seems vaguely familiar, Bosco assembles an homage to IKEA, Jasmine takes a page from an iconic Drag Race legend, Jorgeous cookie-cuts her way to the top and Maddy heads straight to the bottom. We queen out on stepfamily Christmas, that Chappaquidick reference, the glory of fresh school supplies and even squeeze in some Alanis talk.
