I kind of assumed a focus group created the new slogan and it somehow makes the property more money, because I don't think Ru's heart grew three sizes in the off-season.

Well, here's to our new constant stream of new Drag Race. S13, UK2, AS6, probably Can2 byt the time those have finished airing. Drag Race Spain at some point in the future?

As a reminder you can go to vh1.com/live-tv and pick the "sign up" option for a 24 hr live-tv viewing pass. I think I was VanessaVonTitties@gmail.com for a good portion of last season, or chestylarue. They don't verify it.

Ru is old (60!) and only going to get older, anyone doing season 19 or whatever better know drat well who Olivia Newton John is. If you want to get on the show, learn to sew, learn about pop culture from the 70's, make a joke about your "lovin' oven" or indeed, "country breakfast."

I don't recall if it's been brought up in this thread but reddit (yes I know) and their team of crack internet gays seem to believe (future season general spoilers) All Stars: International is in the works. That would include US, UK, CAN, maybe Thailand?, and possibly some girls from Drag Race Down Under.

Nothing is set in stone of course as it's mostly just speculation and a few cute comments from someone who has been reliable about spoilers in the past, but it's the expected outcome of an increasingly global phenomenon.

Honestly I'm basically just watching the runways and performances at this point in this season. It's a bad season, too long, poor judging, few interesting queens at this point.

UK though I'm loving. I feel like Drag Race US is kind of... you know how Call Me By Your Name got a lot of critical praise and wide viewership? It wasn't a gay movie though, it was a movie about gay people. Seems like DRUS has gone from being a gay show, to being a show about gay people for straight people to watch.

Justice for Bimini! but also Tayce put on a hell of a show for the finale. I would put Chaney 3rd out of the top 3.

It was always a top 2, the "lipsyncing your way to to the top!" thing would be deadly to the format. Also Ellie was there.

I love Joe Black's looks, and I get the background behind them but never has there been a queen less suited for Drag Race. It's just a cut and dried Good at Drag != Good at Drag Race situation in the purest form.

e: I also adore Ginny, she's great and I want to go thrift shopping down to the mortuary with her.

But yes, hopefully now Ru will stop carrying certain queens to fill a role. But then again, unless WoW starts including some of these international queens in American All-Stars seasons, I don't think Lawrence will officially fill the role of the big queen, as that needs to be filled on the OG show.

Future season spoilers: All Stars International is currently filming, or the girls are in the process of arriving for filming/however they are doing quarantine. Looks like girls from basically every current iteration, (US/UK/CAN/NL) excepting Australia and Spain, but including a possible heavy hitter from Thailand.

Is there a cast list?

Possible future season casting spoilers, but not set in stone by any means

UK: Baga, Blue, Cheryl
NL: Envy, Janey
CAN: Jimbo, Lemon
US: Manila, Monique
Thai: Pangina (this seems unlikely since she's literally a host)


It's Reddit spoilers based on online activity so I don't doubt some of it will be wrong but they seem to be pretty good at obsessively stalking people online. I like the lineup, fictional or not.

Only thing I remember about Kandy's commercial was leopard print bodysuit and milk. Coco did an ad with full body leopard print better. I'm still kind of annoyed that the judges didn't appreciate how campy that was.

Tina was very "cool mom" doing the funky chicken and cabbage patch or whatever - Ru loves that poo poo but Denali already did it this season.

And I just imagine Utica was lipsynching to Alanis' version of My Humps, it fits perfectly.

I tried to forget this for years. Never wanted to be reminded of it again.

As horribly creepy as baby doll Coco was, she absolutely killed that lipsync. Some bad manners about blocking the other performer, but I seem to recall that being pretty universal that season. The producers must have said something to the newer seasons, it doesn't happen as much anymore.

I feel like Symone got the strongest of the family messages, and she'd be a great Brand Ambassador with a clear sense of style.

Yeaaaah the "I got an inappropriate tattoo once" (which they had removed and were contrite about) was bad but that's like, weapons grade bad. they must vet people before putting them on the show and I hear the rumor is we're getting a very special episode about racism, but like, maybe just don't have the person on?

I'm going to watch it for Karen From Finance, because she has the unenviable storyline of huge Trixie Mattel/Katya backing (based solely on her name) to the point where she now kind of looks like Trixie, but she had a racist tattoo which she had removed so she can't be anyone's precious smol bean or whatever.

It was a better Snatch Game than whatever season "snooki want smush smush" was, but it wasn't great. Anita did absolutely kill it, but it's not like royals jokes are hard, the performance was there though. It's smart to do an easy character.

e: etc. etc. did a better job than I was expecting, but that's still kind of a lovely thing to do
