Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

There’s a bit of uncertainty on Confidence Corner as The Vivienne goes from front runner to back of the pack in this week’s girl group challenge. Crystal struggles to shine, and Cheryl not only holds a note but carries her group. Meanwhile, Team Blu Baga de Campo delivers a performance so good (that legography!) that they not only nab three Ru-Peter badges, but a top spot on iTunes! The runway is a tight day at the races, but Divina wins by more than a nose in our books.

The cornerstone of a Drag Race competition is finally here (and wow, did it make a splash in the pond): Snatch Game! The Vivienne trumped them all while Baga Chipz stayed strong as iron, Blu Hydrangea’s runway was eye-opening while her snatch game character was blue, and Crystal’s Rue wasn’t so clear. Davina honked her way into our hearts despite some traffic around Confidence Corner and Sum Ting Wong proved to be so right. Was the premiere UK season’s Snatch Game living up to its hype?

Spoilers ahead, Mary! The Dragula Season 3 supermonster was crowned and we have celebratory thoughts. It’s good to be king! Landon Cider landed in the top as Season 3’s official supermonster. (In the words of another supermonster, we’re so proud to see it!) Dollya delivered impeccable glamour and THAT SKIN DRESS and Priscilla made us sick with filth, but Landon downright deconstructed a queer classic (and its heroine!) with his horror floor show, and continued to be an inspiration in the boudoir. (On an unrelated note, the last 15 minutes of this podcast episode is riddled with bad accents. Eek!)

It’s a Toot or Boot Sale in the workroom this week as the Top 8 try to style trash with panache. The Vivienne fast forwards with another blockbuster of a look, Baga gives us a sack’a scrubbers, Vinegar goes out of print, Cheryl (Chaz!) gets fingered for her fashion, and Davina assembles an ingenious idea out of IKEA. Sum Ting’s look wasn’t that wrong, but her lip sync was just right.

The Hell Mouth is coming to a close, but before it does, we have one last supper (or drink in this case) with our dearly beloved Dragula monsters. We discuss Landon’s energy, Dollya’s maturity, Hallow’s meme being, and Louisianna’s precision. The second half of the episode we provide a post mortem going back through our favorite looks, challenges, and quotes of the season and even throw in a real throw back to a questionable Alright Mary segment. Who will win this season, Mary?

And the BAFTA goes to…well, maybe no one in this week’s Downton Abbey inspired acting challenge, but Baga Chipz certainly did MUCH BETTER than some of her fellow queens. The Vivienne continues to be the doyenne of the workroom, Divina’s divinely inspiring and just doesn’t see it yet, Sum Ting Wong does some things very right this week, at least in talking about her coming out story, and Scaredy Kat is sent off to the pound, though we suspect nine lives on that one… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) Colin: @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.alrightmary.com

We may be saying “Boo!” to this week’s elimination, but we are two pleased pumpkins to have Brooklyn drag king GOD COMPLEX on the podcast to discuss the Top 4 of Season 3 of Dragula! We cover the nuances of God’s drag, expectations put on drag kings and even share some tips for tipping! We also king and queen out on what each of our final 4 monsters brought to the competition and why Landon’s got this one in the bag.

The premiere of Drag Race UK is serving British royalty realness this week! Our ten new heirs to the throne are giving us hometown glory and Buckingham Palace monarchy with two looks on the runway. Crystal pounds the stage and earns some coin, Sum Ting Wong stamps to the top, The Vivienne reaches great heights despite the flats, and Cheryl Hole needs a handbag. It’s a bitter start for Vinegar, Gothy’s breathy roaring barely makes a peep and Scaredy Kat has really got her dander up. Michelle picks the wrong nose, Alan Carr offers a cuppa in his dressing room and RuPaul is just having a smashing good time.   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) Colin: @colindrucker (Twitter)

Just a small crumpet to have with your tea, Mary! We give you the first act of our Drag Race UK discussion about Episode 2 Downton Draggy! Listen to the rest over on Patreon or wait a week when we publish for our free-skate listeners.   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) Colin: @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.alrightmary.com

Look at all the freaks! This week our monsters compete to be the main attraction at the Freak Show and Louisianna emerges as a real staple of the season by facing her fears all on one leg. We applaud Dollya’s decision to defend her drag, question Priscilla’s penchant for putdowns that pummel too hard, and analyze Evah’s self-destruction that has been tapping at her all season. Colin tortures Johnny with blueberries, Johnny campaigns for Miss Nelson’s drag persona, and a top three prediction rears its ugly head. Who is in your top three, Mary?
