Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

With a jam-packed week of Drag Race adjacent news, we’re trying something new and giving it its own episode! We discuss Courtney Act winning Celebrity Big Brother, Michelle on Ireland’s Got Talent, and the rumors around what Bebe’s really doing on All Stars 3....

The queens are channeling their inner divas for a VH1 branded salute to RuPaul. But is there sabotage afoot? Thorgy’s back on the same conspiracy kick we saw on her season, but she MIGHT be onto something this time. We debate what more she could have done, whether Shangela and Bebe needed to do more, how Ben did so well and why Milk is doing all of that. Also: who really won that lipsync? We disagree considerably this episode, Mary’s!

It's officially All Stars season, Mary's! We already covered the first 15 minutes in Episode 84, so we get right into it with the reveal of the not-such-a-mystery queen! (We clearly just couldn't wait, so this episode is dropping a little early this week!) We get the highlights of a mostly successful reading challenge before settling in for a variety show--because if it ain't broke, why not kick things off the exact same way they did in AS2? Ben pulls a Bianca and sails through EVERYTHING, Aja has the comeback she deserves, Kennedy cartwheels onto a box and Chi Chi makes a choice about those shoes. Plus: the sad tale of the queen who forgot it wasn't Season 2 anymore. And yes, we talk about Vanessa Hudgens being really into voguing right now, before wrapping things up with a glorious Last Chance Lip Sync.

Mary's, the long-awaited meeting of the minds (MOYNDS, as the Squirrel Friends would say) has happened! Over many drinks, we queened on All Stars 3 kweens, their entrance looks, and our predictions for the season. But given the many drinks, we tangent considerably. To be honest, towards the end some of this is a real blur. (But oh my god, SO FUN.)

Ayo sis! The first 15 minutes of All Stars 3 have been released and we are giving you our hot takes on the nine returning queens, the Act One Guns scattered throughout, and our baseless predictions for Top 3!

The final four queens have a busy day of interviews, promoting signature cheeseburgers and even doing a 5 minute standup act at the Comedy Store. Such is the proverbial life of an All Star, in this final challenge before they finally give Chad the crown. We have an 11th hour moment of sympathy for Shannel, discuss Jujubee’s inner saboteurs, reflect on Raven the Runner Up and celebrate the wisdom of Cheri Oteri. Plus, we discuss Katya’s mental health break, Trisha Paytas in boy drag, and finally give Mariah Carey the Lip Sync moment she deserves.

The final four are giving us good vs. evil realness on the runway this week. Apparently if drag queens had super powers, they would involve magical lactating abilities, a strong focus on vaginal cosmetics and, of course, giving people spray tans. ("Can we talk about suntanning?" is suddenly prophetic!) We also discuss Disney gays, queer villains, and the expansion of the RPDR franchise, and wrap things up with a Last Chance Lip Sync that's working through some issues...

Our teamed queens form RuPaul cover bands with the addition of some celebrity daughter guest stars. Shannel is a crisis in choreography, while Raven and Jujubee try to convince Pia Zadora's daughter to wear drag makeup and Kelly Osbourne has the best day of her life.

Well Mary's, in this episode Latrice rummages headfirst in a garbage can looking for props, Chad whips out the mother of all Hunger Games references, and Jujubee wins a lip sync by just kinda walking around. We are knee-deep in All Stars 1 at this point! We also discuss queens on hookup apps, the pressure to be a cultured gay, and what kind of sandwich Janice Dickinson would be, before wrapping things up with a Last Chance Lip Sync that we, well, happen to like.

Instead of another round of Snatch Game this season, the queens are asked to pull out their best celebrity impersonations for a dragged up Laugh In. Yara gives us an inspired Charo, while Latrice proves that being the Oprah of Drag Race doesn't necessarily mean you can do a good Oprah and Shannel's Lucy is, well, a little loosey goosey. We Mary out on Tammie Brown, Latinx queens, father issues and spending the holidays in Trumplandia. (Stay tuned for a very special bop at the end, Mary's!)
