Well. That was … something. For such a tightly contested season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, that finale sure felt a little flat. Even the big twist ending left me feeling more disappointed than gagged. Even the structure left something to be desired. The now standard What’s the Tee? podcast interview feels like a hollow replacement for…

Before I get into last night’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, I need to get something off my chest. I’ve been particularly hard on Monet and Monique this season. I think I just have a hard time rooting for girls who were just on the most recent season competing on All Stars. Give it a…

Just when you think you’ve been gooped with all the goop there is to give, another elimination shocker reshuffles the entire deck!  It was a shocking conclusion to an otherwise lackluster episode. I don’t blame the queens though; I blame the challenge. The weakest part of last night’s makeover episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All…

It’s certainly a high bar to top last week’s GAG-worthy lip sync Thunderdome, but there was a lot to like about last night’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, even if it was one of the more predictable installments. Our most recent ep, “Club Queens,” felt like a real throwback to Drag Race greatness. It featured an old-school…

They say comedy equals tragedy plus time, so the good news is eventually some of last night’s tragically poor performances will get more funny. As it were, though, the majority of our remaining queens struggled to wring laughs from the dearly departed Lady Bunny as they delivered a Ru … ology? Ru … loogey …..

Ever since Ru introduced the All Stars rules, there’s been an ongoing debate over whether the winning queens should eliminate bottom girls on the basis of merit or strategy. We saw it just last week with Manila. However, the real question is: What constitutes merit? Is it based on what the judges say? Is it based on…

They say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, but in the world of reality TV, people just can’t help fussing.  Each season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, fans look forward to the Snatch Game challenge. Like Top Chef‘s “Restaurant Wars,” Top Model‘s “Go Sees” and Project Runway‘s “Unconventional Materials Challenge,” Snatch Game is the ultimate…

It’s true the best girl groups are not without their drama. Look at Destiny’s Child, TLC, the Supremes, Fifth Harmony, Danity Kane, the Spice Girls … the list goes on and on. So, of course, this week’s girl group-themed episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars was going to deliver a classic catfight. There was…

Happy ho, ho, holidays, henny! We must all be on the nice list this year, because RuPaul has blessed us with an All Stars season cast overflowing with GIFTS. Recent favorites like Monique Heart mingle with institutions like Latrice Royale. Former flops like Jasmine Masters and Farrah Moan get a shot at redemption. Performers like Gia Gunn…
