A design challenge has claimed another unlucky queen on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 14 Episode 6.
If a queen doesn't know how to put together an outfit or has an eye for fashion, they'll quickly be walking out the door. There's only so much personality they can show before the lack of craftiness rears its ugly head.
Unfortunately, the latest eliminated queen had a history of underwhelming outfits. And just like that runway ensemble, this round felt underwhelming as well.
"Glamazon Prime" was more filler than fire.
When the entire focus centers around the prep for the Maxi Challenge runway, the pacing takes a massive hit in the process. There are only so many chats about materials and outfits before it becomes repetitive.
And beyond Jorgeous' last-minute scramble to create a new look or Daya Betty snapping at Willow Pill, the Werk Room construction didn't have much weight to it.

It's double trouble for RuPaul's Drag Race Season 14 Episode 2. Does anyone see deja vu?
The split premiere format welcomed a new batch of seven queens into the Werk Room to strut their stuff and show off their talents. Same structure, same pacing, and same season premiere glow, just with new faces in the mix.
Did the seven new queens steal the show? Or did RuPaul's Drag Race Season 14 Episode 1 set the bar too high?
Split premieres are a great way to get to know the queens. We learn their talents, get an idea of their drag personas and what fashion they're bringing to the main stage.
"Big Opening No. 2" was no exception. The second premiere week captured the same fun frenzy we had expected from a split premiere.
Though, the thrill of the uncertainty doesn't hit the same punch when we've already experienced this same round.
Oh this, y’all?...

What a start to Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6 we have had this year! We were given two episodes in one day which contained the iconic talent show and then the first ball of the season. We have had loads of drama and every queen has showcased some level of evolution since their original season (or in some cases first All-Stars appearance.) One of the queens who has shown the greatest development is Ra’Jah O’Hara who in the first episode made a dress in a minute and in the second the whole episode focused on her growth! After doing very well in the ball she gave an incredible lip-sync performance against the lip-sync legend Ms Brooklyn Hytes and not only did Ra’Jah hold her own but walked away with the joint win. Ra’jah had an excellent week; however on the bottom was Jiggly Caliente who...

This weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race was not a traditionally normal one. As we are only one episode away from the finale of the season, the queen met up (albeit virtually) to talk about the season and recap some of the most iconic moments. I talked in a previous review about how this season seems to be never-ending due to the earlier episodes where no one was eliminated (which *spoiler alert* happens again this week as it is the reunion episode) and the infamous double-saving of both Kandy Muse and Symone when they were both in the bottom (which reminds me we haven’t had a double elimination in a long time!) To put this into perspective, season one of Ru Paul’s Drag Race only had nine-episodes and this season will have 16… which is almost double! I think it was a good idea for this season...

Ahead of next week’s grand finale, the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 13 reunited (mostly virtually) on Friday to spill some tea, throw some shade and, most importantly, promote some Bubly Bounce. (Symone deserves an Emmy for that delivery.)
The nine eliminated queens — Kahmora Hall, Joey Jay, Tamisha Iman, Lala Ri, Elliott With 2 Ts, Denali, Tina Burner, Utica Queen and Olivia Lux — beamed in from their hometowns to get real about the goops and gags of the season, while the Top 4 — Gottmik, Rosé, Symone and Kandy Muse — stepped foot on the finale stage for the very first time.

Last week saw both Kandy Muse and Olivia Lux in the bottom two with Olivia been told to leave the competition. She had only been doing drag for just over a year so to get this far in the competition (beating out drag icons such as Tina Burner and Tamisha Imann) is incredible! I can’t wait to how much she will progress over time and I am sure she is destined for great things as she gains more and more experience. Though I don’t understand how Kandy was allowed to progress with that messy pocket inspired outfit as I thought it was the worst outfit I have seen… since her alien look a few weeks ago! But this led to a very interesting discussion led by Bob the drag queen (who was the winner of season 8) where she talked about how a designer had made the outfit, so...

People are still talking about last weeks roast, due to the accusations of body shaming by Utica, who went home. She has since apologised for her ‘jokes’ but I am sure this is not how she would want to be remembered in the competition. Instead, I hope people will remember her for her iconic fashion, including That sleeping bag dress that was made in the werk room. Unfortunately, Utica went home but on the other side of the competition, Kandy clutched her first win which all the queens cheered for when it was announced! Having the other queens cheer you on after you get your first win must have been a weird hybrid of adulation and somewhat belittling but it came at a time when she had not a win, so must have given her some momentum at a time when she needed it most!

Due to the few early episodes where we met the queens in one vs one lip-syncs and the proceeding episodes where no one went home, this season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race seems to be never ending. At this rate, the finale episode (I wonder if they will do a big scale event or not) will be episode 15 and to put that into perspective, season 8 had crowned a winner by episode 10. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want the season to end as that means there will be no Drag Race being produced, but it does seem that this season has lost some of the energy it had at the beginning.
Last week Rose and Symone are crowned joint winners of the branding challenge (I am super glad that Rose is starting to get the credit she deserves) but at the bottom was Tina Burner who left the competition.

Last week on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” the last seven standing were asked to sell themselves to the audience with a brand messaging challenge in which Utica Queen and Tina Burner just did not pop. Utica defeated Tina in her second lip sync of the season, convincing her that she might be the new lip sync assassin. Meanwhile, Rosé and Symone each collected another win, cementing their status as the frontrunners of the season. Tonight the final six return to the stage with the singular goal of pointing out the worst in each other in a comedy roast.

Moments after extinguishing Tina Burner on the main stage, Utica Queen returned to the werkroom on Friday’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race — but not everyone was in a condragulatory mood.
While Rosé was quick to compliment Utica on a lip well synced, Kandy Muse refused to acknowledge her victory at all — at least to Utica’s face. “I’m not going to sit here and tell you, ‘Oh, girl, you slayed the lip sync when I don’t think you did,” Kandy said in a confessional. “I thought Tina slayed that f–ing lip sync.” Meanwhile, Utica wondered aloud...

Thirteen contestants originally entered the work room hoping to win “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 13, but now less than half remain. Of the Top 6 queens, who’s your personal favorite: Gottmik, Kandy Muse, Olivia Lux, Rose, Symone or Utica Queen? Vote in our poll below and then be sure to defend your choice in the comments section. Heads up: we ran a similar poll near the start of the season and Symone came out on top with 30% of the vote. Will she win this time, too?

In terms of challenge wins, no one even comes close to Symone’s record. She has a whopping four victories under her belt so far: “Condragulations,” “RuPaulmark Channel,” “Freaky Friday Queens” and “Pop! Goes The Queens.” That’s double the number as her nearest competitor, making her the obvious front-runner to join the “Drag Race” winners list. Keep...

Last week episodes of Ru Paul’s Drag Race had a theme that ran through the mini, main and lip-sync song which made it must more congestive viewing-wise! We also saw the very controversial elimination of Denali whom many thought would win the competition.
If you remember, Denali was told to leave after Olivia made her over into her doppelgänger; where Denali had to lip-sync as Olivia against Olivia dressed as Denali which must have been a very surreal experience. However, if you have some spare time, Denali does incredible weekly ice skating performances to the lip-sync songs of each episode which are amazing to watch! On top last week were Symone and Utica, which I have mixed feelings about, but the rest of the season now has the added pressure of being the only season of Drag Race being released – so they need to bring all the entertainment!

If last week on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” was about translating your drag brand on to the face and body of another queen, then this week is about selling that brand message to the masses. After a peer-swap makeover challenge that saw two-time winner Olivia Lux fall to the bottom and send her friend Denali home, host RuPaul Charles thought it’d be fun to double-down on brand messaging with the top 7 by asking them to create and sell in a commercial their own can of soda pop inspired by their own brand as a drag queen.

RuPaul's Drag Race loves to throw in branding challenges to help the queens define their styles and brand. To make it in this business, the queens have to know themselves best.
Even something as small as drinks on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 Episode 11 can be a branding opportunity for the drag queens.
Winning this challenge requires humor, style, and adding a bit of comedic flair. So, it's shocking that the queen who spent much of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 utilizing the same color palette went home in a branding challenge.
Tina Burner's fall from grace was a sharp tumble to the bottom. Throughout her rehearsals and judging panel, it became very clear that this was her time to go, especially since the judges flipped the script in their feedback to her.
Did anyone else notice how quick they were to rip her about using her trademark colors?

A flat performance in a soda-themed challenge got another competitor canned on Friday’s Drag Race, leaving us with but a six-pack of queens.
Following an arousing — sorry, make that a rousing — game of Are You Smarter Than the Pit Crew?, which challenged the queens’ knowledge of Drag Race institutions like Lil’ Poundcake and the Interior Illusions Lounge, the group was presented with this week’s maxi challenge: to create and brand a soft drink, design the can, produce and star in a commercial, and write a catchy jingle. You know, totally normal things that all drag queens do in their day-to-day lives.

Last week on the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” runway, six different queens named Olivia Lux as the person who should go home. Host RuPaul Charles took that advice under consideration, but ultimately told Olivia’s makeover partner Denali to “sashay away” instead. When the contestants all return to the work room during Friday’s 11th episode, Olivia reacts (a bit too calmly) to the queens naming her. “It’s one of those things where I just don’t take things personally,” declares the 26-year-old queen in VH1’s sneak peek video (watch above). “I moved to New York with that motto. It’s just drag. I know you girls so I know it comes from a place of love.”

In last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, we saw the return of the iconic snatch games with had a very mixed bag of impressions. We had a modern interpretation of Mary Queen of Scots by Rosè (who has since created a hilarious sketch of this character adapting to modern life in New York) and most notable an stellar performance of Gotmik as Paris Hilton which was so great that she was deemed the winner of the entire episode. On the other end of the spectrum, we had an interesting performance by Utica as Bob Ross complete with a squirrel Afro (no really!) to avoid any claims of cultural appropriation and a poor performance by Eliott who eventually was told to sashay away. The episode also showcases Seymone being unapologetically black as her snatch was Harriet Tubman and her BLM inspired outfit on the runway was one of...
