![]() The main challenge for this RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars premiere is a variety show that’s, well, light on variety. Has anyone made her reactions into GIFs to drop into everyday group chats yet? (This is why we need synchronous viewing!) RuPaul All Stars 6How our 13 queens made their entrances on the RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars premiere. Ginger Minj gets the first win of this race, but the real highlight is guest (via video) Miss Piggy, making a long overdue Drag Race appearance. We didn’t see much from each queen, but the edit gives the impression Ginger and Pandora excel as expected, Yara gets laughs being Yara, while Serena, Jan and Silky struggle. The reads are mostly very basic variations on “you’re not good enough to be an All Star,” and nothing seemed to really crack Ru up (the surest sign of a good read). Bonet has no relationship with any of the other girls, and it feels like that may be more broadly the case. As we learn later in the episode Trinity K. After the queens arrive to show off their new teeth, lips and wigs, the first mini-challenge is the reading challenge. With so many contestants to feature, the breakneck speed skipped across so many moments so swiftly, hardly anything the queens did left a sizable impression. What’s more impressive is, despite the exhausting runtime, it feels like very little substance. Sure, we’ll always find something to critique (otherwise what’s the point of even being gay?), but tell me you wouldn’t be equally invested in watching a spin-off called RuPaul’s Drag Race Worst Queens? It’s like queer people are just … inherently interesting? (Personally, y’all know by now I like a big girl with attitude, but judging by comments, your mileage may vary.)Īnd yet? I still had fun! By now we’ve watched queens, All Stars, international queens, gay veterans and C-list celebrities all play some variation of the game. We’ve got Scarlet Envy, Ra’Jah, A’Keria and the divisive Silky Nutmeg Ganache. The preponderance of season 11 queens - one of the less beloved installments among the fandom - doesn’t help either. It’s a lot!įolks have already snarked about the caliber of the All Stars cast, and last night’s double feature did little to assuage concerns. ![]() Ma’am, we’ve got 13 queens, two full hours, 48 runway looks and so many mediocre dance songs with the queens repeating what they think their catchphrase was during their season. (For our recap purposes, we’re putting these up on Fridays to give folks a chance to watch.) RuPaul All Stars 6: It’s A Lot, But Always SomethingĪnd I haven’t even started complaining about the overstuffed episodes, and, my favorite refrain, “Too Many Queens!” (available now on iTunes). Plus, it makes the already pesky spoiler even harder to avoid. They wouldn’t release the Super Bowl in the middle of the night on a weekday. It’s not dissimilar from televised sporting events. ![]() Whether you’re watching on Twitter or at a bar, we are gooped and gagged in real time, together. It’s like a gay tax! During this, our month of Pride?įurthermore, Paramount+ is taking the Netflix/Disney+ approach and releasing episodes at 3 a.m. I’ve been watching on Logo and then VH1 on old-school cable, international editions on WOW+ Presents and now All Stars on Paramount+. All Stars season 6 is the first to air exclusively on Paramount+, which means many RuPaul’s Drag Race fans may now have three separate providers to keep up. Before we even get into the “game within a game,” we’ve got to talk about a few other “twists” in the franchise. ![]()
