Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

The Top 4 take a break while the eliminated queens duke it out for $50,000 and potential reputation redemption. We get a Liza With a Z disrobing, wall to wall wig whipping, Joella’s little skirt, Crystal’s condiment heavy compliment, Bruno’s hosting skills and a final showdown between the Poor Little Matchstick Girl and the HBIC.

The final five roll the dice on the chance to join Drag Race LIVE! in Vegas, but first they need to do a pseudo TicTac lunch with Latrice and film a kiosk promo for an act we know nothing about and never see. We do get a Ru directed photo shoot, but it also feels 14 weeks late. Then it’s coats and a cloche on the runway and two different Rosses on the panel. Jewels shines, Onya’s nerve and Lexi’s heart take them both to the finale,...

It’s time to make the Top 5 cry by bringing in their moms and dads for a makeover challenge. Which also means it’s time for us to play casting director. We get to see Suzie as Mrs. Toot’s son, the hurricane of emotions that is the Loves, Mrs. Star as Debbie Novotny, a sparkling sausage daddy and Nunya Bidness LaBelle.

As a wise woman once said, this is interpretive dance. The Top 6 are pairing up to present their childhood traumas while their partners shimmy and slither their version upstage. Things then get ugly on the runway.

The season has been no stranger to feuds, even passive aggressive ones started through mirror messages, but this week it’s between the queens and a sombreroed Ross Mathews with a compromised larynx. Or is the feud really between director Cheyenne Jackson and his leading man/unofficial AD? Then of course there’s Lexi vs Lexi’s idea of Suzie, and apparently Sam and Lydia never liked each other? Lana’s still fighting with her brand as...

A Bachelorette, a Housewife, a Royal and Zac Efron’s brother manage to survive a self-destructing turret of Traitors picking each other off and spiraling out week after week, then band together to bring an uplifting and triumphant end to the season. Carolyn easily won the reality TV game, but Gabby’s cultural impact, Dolores’s 11th hour redemption, Ivar’s strategy for survival and Dylan’s side energy are not to be banished too quic...

The girls are spiraling over a lineup for this week’s Villains Roast, and plot twist, the biggest villain in the room is in their heads. But upside, Lexi continues to breathe fresh and also totally unfiltered air into her workroom interactions, to say nothing of her prop work or those nails. Meanwhile Arrietty pouts to an inevitable conclusion, Sam gets the good friend award, Onya cooks despite a medium well roast and the Butthole ...

It's the third design challenge of the season, this time not inspired by a board game or garbage, but by iconic fashion designer Betsey Johnson (Not to be confused with another famous American upholsterer)! We're very in our 40s this episode, so not too much on our formative pleasures like Crocodile Mile, but we also dig into Lana's delusion of self-awareness, our love of Lexi, and why it was maybe time to dethrone the King.

Gabby gets gaggy at this week's roundtable, perhaps in honor of Carolyn, in what is potentially Danielle's swan song. That is, unless we have to wait a whole week to find out Ivar finally went home. Will Brittany repeat history by making it? Will we ever find out who the Seer is? We'll just have to tuck in our shirts and keep our arms down till next week's finale.

The game takes a tragic turn this week, but one not necessarily out of line for a show called The Traitors.

It’s time to ease on down the main stage for this week’s Oz inspired Rusical.

We are diving into Season 3 of “The White Lotus”, where deeply unhappy rich people spend a life changing (or ending) week in paradise.

The Snatch Game comes early this season, giving us eleven reasons to wonder if this challenge needs to finally be blanked. Luckily we get Lexi as Gilbert Gottfried as Lexi as Gilbert Gottfried, Onya on the ball, Alyssa Edwards in the hot seat, Ru openly criticizing Lana’s performance mid-game and a talking butt plug. The runway feels very pointed and Quinta Brunson nails the balance of funny and functional critiques. In an 11th hou...

Act Three of the season has begun, and this week is admittedly Sandoval heavy, but maybe that just means he’s out next week. Sam emerges with a good idea at breakfast, Gabby’s social media has propelled her to BSA status and Dylan is following the producer playbook. Danielle should be shaking in her boots at this point, aside from all that other shaking she’s doing.

Ding dong, the don is DONE! But first, a wedding full of uninvited guests and some iconic goggles. Carolyn wields a fork with a carrot on it at one point, Sam and Ivar briefly play badminton and sort of make for a cute couple, and Tom looks like he wants to sell you molly out of the back of his Geo Tracker. Brittany holds her own at the roundtable and keeps everyone on topic, which is to get the last and most nefarious of the Cage ...

On man’s trash is another queen’s runway outfit for this week’s unconventional materials challenge/ball inspired by ocean pollution. Lexi encounters a potential outer saboteur, Crystal gives a bit of Sea Girt, Kori goes Katy and Lana finally gets some feedback. We go down a Techserv rabbit hole at one point. Samanonya!

Carolyn Wiger eats Cheerios with a fork this week! And while we lose Bob H. in head to toe Thom Browne, Danielle is making such a mess for herself, Tom Sandoval has some more sweaty theories, we have LOTS of feelings about Wes, and Derrick is going full CSI on Boston Rob, who is an eerie reminder of life outside the castle. Sam wears a headband this week and may be this season’s Purple Kelly.

Well hardy har, Mary, it’s another episode of RDR. On the plus side, we get the recognition that cigarette moms deserve (and a future episode dedicated to the topic), RuPaul gives it some of her all as the musical guest and Paul W Downs is more than just a pretty face. We have tangents on lesbian voice, another important Rue and this season’s parallels to Season 5, we’re concerned for a certain roller skating grandma auntie who doe...

The Traitors are continuing to act like traitors this week with Danielle and Rob vying for most suspicious while Queen Carolyn eats cereal in an impeccable blue pantsuit. Bob Harper couldn’t look sharper, Ivar is turning the straights, Dolores is the last wife in the house, and tragedy befalls the Bambis, which is fitting given their namesake. By the way, Sam is still there.
