Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

Mischief Isabelle Brooks is in full force for this final lap of the bracket and not everyone is feeling gapey about it. A rather on the nose villains vs heroes Starrbooty Rusical leaves Nicole in shambles, Tina overshadowed and Kerry robbed. Meanwhile Jorgeous is apparently Broadway bound, Lydia is a used Butthole but a fortunate pawn, and the true All Stars 10 villain is on her way to terrorize the semifinals.

This week’s roast is rapped up and hot to go! And for some queens it was even pre-written! The burns start well before the challenge between the feuding Brookses and one Texas diva left out of the alliance. Meanwhile Butthole is torn between two mother figures but Jorgeous continues to feel very muggy. Chappell Roan makes some noise on the judges panel and the runway blossoms with groundbreaking florals for spring.

Bracket Two gives us a couple of Brookses, a Butthole, a Colby, a comeback for Mrs. Burner and a now three season veteran who is still too young to legally rent a car. We get the ball rolling with a ball, but this episode is mostly Isabella holding court in the workroom, derailing the Ru-Sees and dueling with Tina before getting royally face-cracked on the runway by her old rival and daughter to be.

It’s time to put pen to paper and likeliness to college basketball player for this week’s girl group makeover challenge that decides who will join Irene in the semi-finals. Principal Skye is in full effect, Bad Babysitter Bosco has the Goddess in capable hands, Olivia makes beautiful music with Heaven spelled backwards, and there’s no alliances left for Aja, now with wings. Phoenix is ultimately locked up in last place but ironical...

As a wise woman once asked, are y’all ready to rock and roll? The first bracket of All Stars is kicking off this season with a glam rock girl group before getting their knives out for a southern fried murder mystery. Irene the Alien crash lands into a redemption arc, Aja is giving tristate area hair stories, Principal Skye is back from sabbatical, Bosco zips to the top of the pack, Phoenix is Delphine Brigandi and Olivia isn’t joki...

It’s been Onya’s season to win since she walked into the workroom in that vest, but this finale had us a bit nervous. Sam’s red carpet and Lexi’s rollerskates left them both primed for an All Stars comeback, and Crystal winning Miss Congeniality mayo feel righty real! But it all came down to the burger queen of Cleveland vs Tampa’s answer to Tracee Ellis Ross. Abracadabra may not have been a magical lip sync for either of them, but...

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.

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...
