RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race

If Ian Watkins was doing the dusting on this one too, she must have been convelling.

 

[straightorbroken]

SHANNEL of course.

Vanessa looks the most like herself in drag, unsurprisingly. A whiff of Susan Ann Sulley in there too.

 

[straightorbroken]

I guess Jamal looks better with his arms out.

Vanessa as Dolly is pure Phi Phi season 4 finale.

Suddenly that season 7 musical number doesn't seem so bad.

I’m really enjoying this, much to my surprise. Seems weird they’ve thrown it away mid-season.

The roast this week was actually funny- I properly LOLed a few times and Dustin was properly good and, I thought, was robbed of the overall win. He also seemed to be thoroughly loving every single minute and came across so well- what a good guy. In fairness, I guess once you agree to be on the show, you have to be a certain level of “ok” with everything, but it has been lovely to see cis, straight, white males just going for it.

Yes, this was a fantastic episode! I loved all three contestants, and it's probably the funniest roast they've ever done.

Utterly scripted.

However, this and last episode were both great fun. Why they chose the first episode as the launch makes no sense at all.

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

That roast was hilarious. The last episode was way more entertaining than the first two. And I quite fancied Dustin Milligan and Daddy Matt Iseman

 

[Mother Superior]

Didn't know who any of them were, though Dustin piqued my interest, but that episode was a riot. Far superior to any episode from this season of the standard show.

You NEED to watch Schitt’s Creek !

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I assumed Schitts Creek was GAY STAPLE.

 

[Mother Superior]

You NEED to watch Schitt’s Creek !

I tried, but four episodes in I just wasn't getting it. Should I persevere?

Yes it builds wonderfully once you know the characters !

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Absolutely. The characters evolve to some of the best on TV.

As Daniel Levy pointed out they're meant to start in a state of disarray and slowly settle into their new lives.

 

[straightorbroken]

I think my favourite part was Kim Chi laughing at the jokes she was getting away with having someone else say them. I really do get a kick out her.

I too have Schitt’s Creek to binge through. I always let me ex watch it on his own for some much needed me time

 

[straightorbroken]

Elezzabeth was actually the best in the number. Lipping to Vanjie really finished off the Madamme LaQueer as Divine of it all.

I do much prefer watching the men do the drag though.

 

[straightorbroken]

I thought Madison's mom was Robin Antin.

The contestant, not the poster.

 

[COB]

Shannel was NOT a fan of Madison on set

girls doing drag is something no one needs to see. i didn't get past the mini-challenge despite loving the last episode.

The first season is solid and gets better towards the end. But from season two on (although I've not watched the last yet), pretty much every episode is GOLD.

 

[lolly]

I can't however bring myself to watch this. Just too much Drag Race at the moment, I think. It will keep until after Drag Race Canada, as I assume we'll have a long break for new content after that.
