‘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 […]

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 […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 15×03’ Review

by Rhys Payne

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 […]

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 […]

‘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 […]

All the way back on Drag Race US season two (which was just over twelve years ago) Ru Paul introduced the first-ever snatch game that saw the queens showcase their best celebrity impressions in a bid to make the queen supreme laugh. Since then this challenge has become a key part of any season of […]

As a musical theatre fan, last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK was a dream come true! What started with one of the most accurate yet hilarious Ru-sical performances (that had the queens all singing live) transitioned into a runway that celebrated some of the most iconic shows to ever hit the west […]

Last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK marked the third time in a row that the queens were grouped together for the main challenge. I can totally appreciate the frustration that these group challenges cause as it takes a lot more for a queen to stand out in a group than on their […]

In all honesty, I am not the biggest fan of the voting-style mini-challenges that have become so frequent across all franchises on Ru Paul’s Drag Race because they are clearly just ploys to introduce some drama into the show. Getting the queens to vote for each other in categories such as background character, hot mess […]

In last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK so the remaining queens grouped together to write and perform an original verse to “Come Alive” during the first-ever YAS-tonbury music festival. While it wasn’t the most memorable song/performance I do think a few queens were able to shine. Sminty, Jonbers and Starlet however seemed […]

I have to admit that I am not usually a big fan of the reunion episodes of Ru Paul’s Drag Race as sometimes they feel as if they are just a filler episode to meet the required episode count. The fact that a whole hour episode was dedicated to looking at things that the audience […]
