Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

Our Top 3 Southeast Asian sensations are back for one more round of challenges before the crowning--only this time, it's in front of a live studio audience! Drag Race Thailand's finale may be one of the best--not only do all of the eliminated queens return for a brief reunion and get to give us multiple looks throughout the night, we get Pangina in performance, Art Arya running the show with an iron fist in a velvet glove, a host of past guests on the judges panel (hey Christoris!), a lip sync with ANOTHER twist and fierce final performances produced from head to toe by the Top 3 queens themselves before the winner is finally announced for "Drag Race Thailand debut season!"

Our Thai top four may be at the last 100 meters, but it's going to be an exhausting sprint to Top 3! That being said, Annee Maywong lives up to her nickname (the one we've given her, anyway) of Anne May Win, because she sweeps this entire episode, from makeup mini-challenge to Songkran goddess on the runway. All of the eliminated queens return for a mini-makeover/unconventional materials challenge before the whole cast puts on an extravagant soap opera that puts every other Drag Race acting challenge to shame. The game of musical chairs for Top 3 reaches an emotional conclusion on the runway for our resident pizza queen, but this journey to the finale ends with the same joy and positivity we've come to love all season. Come through, kind media!

Drag queens need to know how to market themselves--and what better way to practice than marketing some SIM cards care of Drag Race Thailand sponsor LINE Mobile! Our resident elephant queen sweeps the episode with her trunk and her charm, while Jaja gets a little coo-coo and Natalia Pliacam gives us flashbacks to the furry in "The Shining." The runway is influencer inspired (even if Chompoo was giving us more influenza with her under the weather appearance on the judging panel)before another shocking lip sync that had us crying, "You've made the wrong decision!"

The library is open and so are our hearts as we watch Drag Race Thailand's first ever Snatch Game! Amadiva blows us all away in her reading challenge, Natalia Pliacam gives us nuance nuance nuance as Miss Sumanee(that's three drinks, Mary), and B Ella blows us all away as she emerges as a comedy queen alongside JaJa. We comment on the first negativity from a guest judge toward Annee May Wong, find our disagreement with the runway/lip sync outcome (an elephant never forgets...), and of course... we are gooped, gagged, and waving our hankies at that intoxicating lip sync! As Pangina Heals says, "Thank F@#$%ing you!"

Mary, if you are gonna start Drag Race Thailand anywhere but the beginning, start here. We go in this week and love on the nuanced faces of JaJa in the mini-challenge, gag over every runway look (Every. Single. One) and name B Ella as the Pizza Queen we all need right now (Pizza = always good even when its bad). We also hail the production of the runway which sets Drag Race Thailand apart from RuPaul's Drag Race in a very important way. Get into, Mary!

Even without the Gone With the Wind reference, the curtain challenge is a classic example of resourcefulness and imagination. The Top 8 are turning drapes and panels into looks, looks, looks--but not before a welcomed return to puppet-based mini challenges. Art Arya is a hoot the whole episode ("Christoris!") and Pan Pan gets cuter by the draped blazer.

As soon as we both saw Hannah Gadsby's "Nanette," we knew we needed an entire episode to discuss... Get in touch!

Everybody say love! This week, we head back to the southeast Asian workroom as the remaining nine queens (well, nine once Morrigan comes back from having a terrible time in the bathroom) say "I Do" to themselves in a recreation of the Season 2 "Here Comes the Bride" photoshoot challenge before giving variations on the theme of "the power of love" on the runway. Apparently, that means being pregnant, resulting in this season's version of Kimonogate.

Before we officially close out the season, enjoy some nuanced BONUS content, Mary! Here is the extensive runway rundown we did with the queens from Grizzly Kiki during our Season 10 finale joint recap. Looks looks looks!

Before we say goodbye to a season that has truly been a production, often an ooh-ahh sensation, and occasionally quite brown cow stunning, we celebrate our favorite looks, quotes, moments, queens, and of course nuances of Season 10, and discuss what we'd love to see happen in future seasons. Facts are facts, America--this season may have not always known its words, and its wig may have fallen clear off its head at times, but you've got to give to Season 10: it, nevertheless, still wiggled. (And it also gave us Monique Heart!)
