‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 8×07’ Review

by Rhys Payne

Acting challenges on Ru Paul’s Drag Race have a very storied her-story on the show. while there have been some amazing performances on the show there have also have had some truly terrible ones such as the Lady McBitch challenge during season seven! However, I have to say that last week’s improvised whodunnit ‘forensic queens’ […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 8×05’ Review

by Rhys Payne

In last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars season eight we saw Lala Ri and Heidi N Closet really shine as the bumbling duo of inexperience criminals and Jimbo claim the win after performing as an unhindered character dragged into a murderous rampage after being bullied by some popular girls in school! Jimbo […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 8×04’ Review

by Rhys Payne

There are many challenges that without a doubt occur at some point in any season of Drag Race. Whether that be a songwriting challenge, the snatch game or (most importantly for the most recent episode) a design challenge where the queens have to create unique outfits in the werk-room. One of the biggest storylines going […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 8×03’ Review

by Rhys Payne

At the end of last week’s episode, we sadly learnt that former Mrs Continental, Naysha Lopez, would sadly be leaving the competition after Jimbo tried (and failed) to get her revenge on her from Drag Race UK vs The World with the returning lip-sync assassin Pangina Heels! After what can only be described as a […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 8×02’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to say that out of all of the opening episodes Drag Race has had over the last couple of years, last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars season eight was one of the better ones! The returning (and mostly fan favourite) queens were grouped together to perform on two different versions […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 8×01’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to admit that going into the opening episode of this season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars I was quite surprised by the selection of queens asked to return to the werk-room. Don’t get me wrong every single one of the queens are extremely talented but some of these were not obvious choices […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×14’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to admit that last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race was filled with some questionable choices. In the mini challenge Loosey voted for herself as the person who would go home next (and I still haven’t decided if this is a clever piece of strategy or a display of some nervousness) and […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×13’ Review

by Rhys Payne

As someone who is obsessed with both the worlds of musical theatre and the art form of drag, it goes without saying that the musical episodes of Ru Paul’s Drag Race are always something I eagerly anticipate every season! This season’s musical challenge had the queens performing in the original production “Wig Loose” where the art […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×12’ Review

by Rhys Payne

It has been said many times that the fan base of Ru Paul’s Drag Race can be extremely toxic to both performers and fellow fans. The annoying number of posts I see in so-called “fan pages” that contain some form of racist/transphobic rhetoric, are purposefully vile towards queens from the show or even end in […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×11’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to say that last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race was one of my personal favourites. I don’t know if it is the fact that I thought that I could have done better in the challenge than ninety per cent of the remaining competitors or that we saw the full scale of […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×10’ Review

by Rhys Payne

Last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race marked the two hundredth episode of the American version of the show and so to celebrate the entire episode was dedicated to celebrating some of the most iconic moments in the show’s fifteen-year history! This included a mini-challenge where the queens photo-bombed attention-grabbing moments from previous sessions, […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×09’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to say that in my opinion there were some very questionable choices made in last weeks lip-sync LaLaPaRuza challenge. That fact that Antrea went from one of the greatest lip-sync performances in the first round against the powerhouse that is Sasha Colby only to end up all the way down to the bottom […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×07’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have discussed numerous times about the Drag Race universe and the importance of throughlines across seasons/versions/iterations. This is why initially I thought it was an incredible idea that the iconic Daytona Winds challenge would re-appear in this week’s episode but with a slight twist in genre. For those who did not watch the episode […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×06’ Review

by Rhys Payne

After what was quite possibly the worst snatch game to ever appear on any Drag Race franchise, it seemed like the queens had managed to get season fifteen back on track despite the criminally short episodes. Last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race saw the remaining queens split into three groups to design and […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×05’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to be honest last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race was quite possibly one of the worst I have seen in a very long time! The overwhelming annoying of the queens and the short episode timings meant that some queens were only asked two or three questions with only three queens really […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×04’ Review

by Rhys Payne

After two very strangely edited hour-long premiere episode, the Drag Race fandom were excited to see the newest bunch of queens try and run the gauntlet. However, there was immense outrage when people realised that instead of the just over hour-long episodes we would simply getting forty-five-minute specials which for many did not satisfy the […]

I used to be of the mind that you can never have too much of a good thing and that included seasons of Ru Paul’s Drag Race! I couldn’t quite understand why people were complaining that more episodes of their favourite show were being produced but I have to admit that I am starting to […]

Despite having only competed in her original season under a year ago, Vanity Milan returned with a vengeance in the opening episode of Drag Race Canada vs The World! During the musical challenge, she delivered a powerful message about the injustices POC queens experience including calling out the BBC media team who recently came under […]

After being hyped up as the world’s greatest comedy queen for the entire episode, Pixie Polite ended up in the bottom for the political campaign/roast challenge in last week’s episode. She then had to battle against this season’s lip-sync assassin Black Peppa and if that wasn’t bad enough, she even took a tumble during the […]

‘Drag Race Canada vs. The World 2×01’ Review

by Rhys Payne

For years, the Drag Race fan base has been begging for an international version of the show which would see queens from all over the world compete against one another to be crowned queen of the universe. In fact, all the way back in 2021 I wrote a fantasy cast for such a show, with […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×09’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to admit that I was thoroughly disappointed with the ‘squirrel games’ acting channel on last week’s episode and to be honest it was not down to the queen’s performances themselves. While the queens did seem to struggle during the rehearsal process, their individual performances were mostly entertaining but the biggest problem I had […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×08’ Review

by Rhys Payne

It’s crazy to think that has been almost four years since the first ever season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK was announced which shone a light on a much more British version of drag. I think when this show was first announced there was concern amongst the fans that the Drag Race format would […]
