I loved when deliberating who would go home at the end Jimbo told Jujubee to leave the rest of her drink for him.

If there’s one thing that I’m glad about this season, it’s the love that Jimbo is getting. The fact that Ru gets her drag and loves her on stage must be so validating god her after DRC. Jimbo is such fantastic tv. I also am enjoying Mo this season. The butch queen look was to die for. Honestly, this season is filled with amazing queens (and Baga.)

Jujubee has to actively be sabotaging herself and you can't convince me otherwise. Branding yourself as a cat lady and not having a cat runway?? This runway package was downright embarrassing, especially after AS5.

I can't help but think we were robbed of another Pangina vs Jimbo. Pangina's sphinx runway was my favourite overall.

Can't disagree with this, but I really really wish they would drop the fear factor elimination bullshit, it really makes it unwatchable for me.

Yea I did find it really jarring when I first started watching it. But I've grown to really like it haha.


Also Oh my god Jujubee what. I hope she kills it in the next epsiodes because its getting weird being saved like this. Are they shooting for her to win or something?

I finished my rewatch of season 6, and I'm rewatching season 7 for the first time in YEARS since it was never really available anywhere streaming for free. Some thoughts.

Ginger Ming is a lot more likeable without watching Untucked, it seems like all the hate for her came out of her terrible behavior in Untucked the first time around.

Max and Jasmine Masters are still insufferable, I don't understand what people ever saw in them, or why people here in particular keep on wanting Max to come back.

Jadynn Dior Fierce was a better drag queen than Ru ever gave her credit for.

After years of seeing Trixie and Katya as a pairing, it's so strange and alien to see them their first time around and not really knowing each other and barely interacting.

Katya was still robbed for going out during the Hello Kitty challenge.

Pearl is a talented drag queen, but holy poo poo, she cannot dance. It's just lots of waving her arms around while leaning back, and barely moving her feet.

Janey on twitter yesterday said she filmed Holland season 1 and UK v the World within 6 months of each other without doing any other drag due to covid. It sounds like they filmed this much sooner than I realized, which might explain why some queens seem so unprepared, and also why none of the UK2 girls are there (maybe they hadn't even filmed it yet). Maybe Juju was also just coming off of filming All Stars 6.

I remember Jimbo doing interviews from the UK while Canada 1 was airing, so that fits. Finish filming UK 2 and go right into UK vs the World?

Supposedly, Asttina was cast but had to pull out due to her mother's death. If that's true, maybe her replacement was Juju.

I feel Jasmine gained most of her popularity from her youtube clips after the show.
I liked Max and she was doing very well on the show up ‘til her disastrous snatch game. Also she was destroyed by the edit in the last episode so I don’t think you have to worry about her ever agreeing to come back on.

The impression I always got was that people were laughing at her, and not with her, which is what made her All Stars talent show performance so bad because she didn't understand what was actually funny about her youtube videos.

Hi, I'm John Sheppard. Isn't my hair awesome? I like ferris wheels.
UKvsTW ep 2 Bagga's dress was so last minute, if Pangina did make it, I hope she really did get paid. But, honestly, that edit felt really gross for Bagga and I'm surprised she wasn't called out for it on the runway. Juju just felt so MEH and it boggles my mind because I know she's better than what she's showing. Even if it was right after another show, you'd think there's at least a few other things in the closet available.

Dragula's extermination challenges can be good at times. I do like that in s4 they seemed to edit them shorter, but I do tend to fast forward through a lot of them still. I didn't understand the s4 shocking challenge. I had no idea what was actually shocking them? And the buttons of who was shocking who was confusing.

Maybe, the ones I remember are the “RPDR has hosed up drag” and the “Get a job challenge” ones along with the “And I -oop” meme. I didn’t think those were shared to laugh at Jasmine beyond the inherent humor in sitting on one’s balls. I didn’t watch any of her others, I just got the impression the fan base had turned the corner on her and liked her. She certainly was one of the most disliked queens from 7 immediately after airing.

According to to the Boulet's podcast (as reported by Sloppy Seconds), they purposely reduced the "difficulty" of the Extermination Challenges this season due to having to do all this amid Covid.

I also tend to fast-forward through them, primarily because I doubt that they'll affect the outcome and at least this last season due to timing I just wanted to go to bed. :)

Max's whole thing was weird as hell - after the show there was some contractual business with World of Wonder where the company got some cut of their earnings or creative control for a year, and her furry/otherkin werewolf persona boyfriend/manager advised her to just... not do drag for that year. So she didn't. Then the boyfriend left her for not being instantly famous by being on the show. Then she tried to do a comeback and everyone was kind of like "oh well Max was robbed/edit was bad we should support her" and she spent all the money on a live singing cabaret performance that just wasn't any good. Now she is depressed on twitter.

Adele and Cheryl Hole was the collab I was not expecting. I didn’t realise that Adele associated herself with the LGBT community but considering how she called up Delta? on stage when she did a drag look of her, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Here’s a bonus video of her pole dancing in Heaven.

CBS is reviving the show, with Ru as the host. (New format, based on the UK version from the last two years... aka no bingo balls this time around, just wordplay.)

Alright Mary did an interview with Pangina Heals! It's really great. Some tidbits:
- Pangina used to do an insult comedy act at Maggie Choo's, a drag bar in Bangkok, and one time someone she read came back and brought a hitman with them. WTF
- She broke her leg on a Thai drag competition show but stayed in it and won. She had to re-learn how to walk and dance during the filming.
- Art Arya helped style all of Pangina's looks for UK vs the World.
- Pangina did a lot of prep work for the show - including practicing her runway walk in each outfit with a coach, to give them each a unique presentation.
- She has remained closest to Blu Hydrangea after filming UK vs the World.

Camden was robbed, but I'm not super surprised because something tells me she was cast as filler.

What I am surprised about is how Jorgeous is a judge fave when it's pretty obvious she's gonna bomb acting challenges and Snatch Game.

Speaking of Snatch Game, Maddy missing it is a crime.

Kind of living for Daya's Jandown.

First episode I can remember that I was not a fan of almost any of the judging. My tops were Camden, Angeria and Daya with a Camden win and Maddy, Kerri and Jorgeous in the bottom.

I was amused that someone pointed out that it took a straight man to bring the drama to Untucked.

Kerri's not in the bottom? Daya isn't the top, and neither is Willow?? Jorgeous is fine but she really shouldn't have been in the top, let alone win.
