RuPaul's Drag Race

baby and crumble

Indeed there have been trans women who have been competitors. Other queens manipulate their own bodies via padding, tape and some have used other cosmetic proceedures in order to further their careers.

Being trans and doing drag are not fundamentally the same thing, although for some they do overlap.

Really the purpose of this thread is to discuss the show, for fans of the show.

Please don't drag it off topic soapboxing about trans people. This is the final warning on this matter.

Who is the Miss Congeniality for you lot this year?

Reiketsu

Personally I'd go for Blair or Monique but I can see it going to Miz Cracker.

baby and crumble

Ah but is it actually Miss Congeniality or is it fan favourite?

J_E

Kind of has to be Miss Vanjie, no?

If it's popularity, maybe yeah. Someone who was only there 1 episode really shouldn't be Miss Congeniality in fairness.

La_Gordy

I'd go wi Monique or Miz Cracker. Not a massive fan of either but trying to predict.

Also, least any of the fans here not be aware - nae episode this week.

Kameron. She's not my favourite queen so I don't want her to win but I think she's shown herself to be a decent person.

Strong rumours flying around that Miss Vanjie is a returning queen for Season 11. It's currently filming and she has been very quiet of late online and no gigs currenly, prompting this speculation. Not totally unheard of given how succesful she became after her exit, and it isn't as if a 1st out has not been brought back the following season before.

No new episode on Netflix today? Or when do they usually release?

A new episode didn't air; it'll be back next week.

No new episode this week. What to watch tonight instead? I’m lost!

If you haven’t been watching them, and if you like Mz Cracker check out her series “review with a Jew” on YouTube. Very funny. She’s been reviewing RuPaul for a while but obviously for her season she goes into a little bit of extra background info about editing, extra bits of conversations, etc.

The Vixen

Monet X Change, from what we saw, she really boosted morale in the work room.

I really want Monique or Blair or Cracker to get MC. Really don't want Vanjie to get it considering she was only there a hot minute.

Yeah, I've already seen those and subscribed! Some brilliantly funny stuff from Cracker in those vids. Her doing Cher still makes me laugh just thinking about it. Not so much the impression but how much she makes herself laugh doing it!

Sorry to see Miz Cracker go, I thought she was a great queen.

Surprised there was no Miss Congeniality given at the reunion. Are they keeping it for the finale or after last years antics have they done away with it completely? I don't even think the official Twitter / Instagram feeds for the show even ran a vote for MC this year... did they?

There was an online vote. Spotted it through Blair St. Clair's social media.

Details regarding the Miss Congeniality situation this season without spoiling the result:

There was a fan vote, but it was plagued by bots. Miss Congeniality will be awarded at the finale.

Anyone been following the supposed All Stars 4 cast rumours?

Bazinga_N

I've been reading a bit and not sure how I feel tbh.. Although it was a week or two ago since I was reading up on it!

That said, I'm very excited to see

Manilla and Latrice come back - I really think they deserve another chance AND also Naomi Smalls

. Like I said though, it's been a week or two since I was reading the rumours so I might have old T

Would love to see

Valentina

come back even just for the drama haha

Some unsettling news from Reddit (if it is indeed true). Someone posted that a Ru girl had invited them back to an afterparty that was essentially their house and the Ru girl raped them. Posting the story has prompted two other people to say they have had similar experiences with Ru girls and one of them says it was with a S10 Ru girl and they are all supporting each other online and being encouraged to report the incident to the police. Scary if true. No names have been mentioned though, so not sure if it is one queen that has done it several times or if it is a number of queens from the show.

Can you post /pm the link to the thread

Did any more details emerge?

Nothing that I have heard. I hope it's just someone making crap up for attention than it being true.

So we have the Christmas Special tomorrow (Saturday for us), immediately followed by All Stars 4, Season 11 next year and Drag Race UK next summer and maybe All Stars 5 and another Christmas Special as well at the end of next year. We are truly being spoiled with drag content.

Gay Christmas is truly here!

Has anyone watched the holiday special yet? I have it downloaded but am not watching until tonight with a bottle of vino. No spoilers!
