Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Trixie Mattel recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s fourteenth episode, two time competitor and veteran “Pit Stop” guest Mo Heart rejoins Trixie for another chatty recap. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their conversation, Mo shares that they were in love with Xunami Muse this season and expected her to make the final four. Mo also knows Q personally and agrees with Trixie that her looks are “ridiculous” because “the boy can sew,” thinks Morphine Love Dion was sickening “from the moment she walked in,” and that the Sapphira Cristál “stumble” last episode gives the other girls a chance to win.
When it came to this episode, Mo likes the concept of the memoir challenge because it shows who is the good storyteller and sets...

Brooke Lynn Hytes is an incredibly talented drag queen who acts as a host and judge on Canada’s Drag Race. It’s a spinoff to the popular RuPaul’s Drag Race, but RuPaul himself doesn’t appear as the usual face at the center of it. Brooke Lynn owns hosting and judging, but she isn’t alone in doing so. How much power does she actually have when it comes to telling a queen to “sashay away?”

We have our winner! After nearly four months, America's Next Drag Superstar was crowned on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 Episode 16.
The battle was hard-fought between Gottmik, Symone, Rosé, and Kandy Muse in the Lip-Sync For The Crown.
In a crowning night filled with Britney Spears music, the queens worked the stage to deliver the results we've all been waiting for. Though, the outcome was all too predictable.
Symone winning RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 was a great decision because Symone dominated many of the challenges, burned up the runway with iconic looks, and left her mark in the competition. It's just a very expected decision based on the season's editing.
Right from the iconic lines on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 Episode 2, Symone had the game in the bag.
Sure, there were moments where she stumbled and landed in the bottom two, but there was no way Symone was going home.

For the audience, this season of Drag Race has only been on the television for 10 weeks but for the queens on the show the competition lasted just under a year with a seven-month break where the world stood still, we saw Joe Black (the international cabaret sensation and fan favourite) get eliminated in the first episode; we saw Ginny walk out of the competition marking her self-elimination; we saw the birth of ‘Bing Bang Bong’ that did insanely well in the iTunes chart; and we saw a new lip-sync assassin. It has been one of the most unique seasons of any television shows which all the queens should feel proud of due to everything else around them falling apart. But now onto the actual episode…

The race to find the UK’s next drag race superstar began pre-pandemic with 12 queens vying for the crown, but after a seven month lockdown break and a strong finish to the season, RuPaul Charles and her team of expert judges have narrowed the field down to four: Bimini Bon-Boulash, Ellie Diamond, Lawrence Chaney, and Tayce.
Tonight, “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” season 2 came to a spectacular conclusion with the finalists performing the house down with their own version of RuPaul’s hit song “A Little Bit of Love” and only one of them being named the Queen’s top queen. Read our recap below to see how it all shook out in ‘Grand Finale’:
To get to the final four, Ru shocked Ellie by awarding her the first and only double shantay of the season after her first time lip synching. She went head-to-head against Tayce, the season’s...

Well… last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK was a lot! We had a very interesting comedy challenge performed in front of an empty audience, with one of the queens jokes having to be bleeped-out due to their nan ringing up the BBC (it was A’whora); we had drama by the bucket full; Tayce told everyone about her love for beans on toast which led to her being given a PR package from the king of beans, Heinz, themselves (Heinz if your reading this I also love beans!) and Tayce gained the title of drag race assassin after her third time in the bottom, as she sent home her roommate A’whora. So yeah… last week episode was something and I was excited to see how everyone would deal with the fallout this week.
We are at the semi-final episode, which means that only four queens are remaining in the competition.

Last week on “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” the top 5 queens had their toughest challenge yet — standing up in front of a live audience of blow up dolls to deliver laugh-out-loud comedy sets. After winning the week’s mini challenge, badgeless Ellie Diamond was given the opportunity to se the order for the night and strategically put everyone at a disadvantage. The move set Lawrence Chaney and A’Whora off their games, but only A’Whora succumbed to the pressure. She found herself lip syncing for her life against best friend Tayce who managed to win her third head-to-head, sending A’Whora packing and making herself an bonafide assassin.

Last week on “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” the top 6 queens faced their second design challenge of the season. Fashion girl A’Whora was determined to Rudeem herself with a challenge win this time and that’s exactly what she did with a stunning hand-sewn blue supershero gown. Her Rumate Tayce didn’t fare so well, falling to the bottom 2 for the second time. But the stage is where Tayce feels most comfortable and so she handily defeated Sister Sister in the Lsfyl.

Last week on “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” the top 7 queens unveiled their best celebrity impersonations in the iconic “Snatch Game” challenge. Three time challenge winner and comedy queen Lawrence Chaney showed her first signs of vulnerability and fell into the bottom two, but managed to outperform Tia Kofi in the lip sync. As the Baroness of Basic sashayed away, Bimini Bon-Boulash continued her rise, earning a first solo win and second overall.

Last week on “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” Ru let the queens have it with a real kick in the arse. Both Tia Kofi and Joe Black, the latter of which had freshly reentered the race by a vote of her peers, were taken to task for leaving too much to be desired in their runway presentations. As two members of the losing girl group in the singing challenge, they found themselves in the bottom and lip syncing to stay. In the end, Tia bested Joe and sent the first eliminated queen home for a second time.

Last week on “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” the competition was rocked by two surprising turns of events. First, Ginny Lemon BenDeLaCreme’d herself by refusing to lip sync against her friend Sister Sister, eliminating herself in a graceless prance off stage and shocking the other queens. Then, in the previews for this week, we learned that the competition was promptly shut down by the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions that began to roll out while filming was still underway. How did the girls react to the news and adapt to the abrupt change? Let’s find out!

Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK is quickly becoming one of the most unpredictable shows in modern television. Last week we watched Astina sashay away despite having previously won a challenge (where most of the other girls have not) ;on top of two fan-favourites going home very early in the series. It’s impossible to guess who is going to go home each week, as all the drag this season is so high quality and they are all insanely talented queens, but this means every week is a gag! This week went above and beyond with ensuring there was drama by the bucketload… with minor fights breaking out between Lawrence & Ginny (in the first couple of minutes of the episode) and Veronica & A’whora towards the end. This week’s mini-challenge was a very unusual one I have to admit. The queens had to take part in “The great British...

Last week on “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” the queens were pitted against their best friends in “Who wore it best” head-to-heads on the runway. Resident Baroness of Basic, Tia Kofi, lost her face off against Veronica Green while previous challenge winner Asttina Mandella came up short against Bimini Bon-Boulash. Asttina was ready to show off her strengths in a lip sync, but in a shocker was outperformed by Tia and eliminated. Funny girl Lawrence Chaney rebounded in the other direction, going from a low score the previous week to challenge winner.

It seems like every Drag Race review I write starts with a moment of silence for the queen who went home the week before. It’s getting impossible to predict who is going home week by week as two of the heavy hitters, and my personal favourites, have gone home in the first two weeks – that being Joe Black and Cherry Valentine. I was sure that Cherry was going to go the whole way in the competition, so to see her leave was a gag! But alas, if you haven’t shown her love on social media then you really should as some of the looks she is turning in on Instagram are phenomenal – so she’s one to keep an eye on. Last weeks “Rats” challenge shone a light on many of the queens as performers not to sleep on, none more so that Veronica Green. The whole episode...

Two seasons of Drag Race being released simultaneously? Aren’t we just some extremely lucky drag fans! Now there has been some debate online about how frequent these seasons have been coming out, with All-Stars 6 rumoured to come out later this year; which will mark three seasons of Drag Race in one year which many people find an over-saturation of the TV market but for me, as it stands, two seasons of Drag Race shown at the same time is filling the void!
After the success of the first season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK, it was only a matter of time before a second season was developed that showcased the fabulous queens from all across the UK! The opening episode paid homage to some of the most iconic moments from the previous season such as the infamous “a red wig and a silver dress… I don’t think!
