Meantime, per Wikipedia at least:
The second series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK was confirmed and casting was closed on 15 November 2019
Willam mentioned some names the other week about people who should have been in the first season so I'm guessing some of them will be en route.
Am I...wrong or is All-Stars not happening soon? I seem to remember it kicking in around late December last year so maybe they're finally taking a slight break in the cycle? (Which I think would be good.)

Race Chaser podcast now well into into Season 4 (yay!) & Sharon as phone in guest for ep 4 is so meta & cool & kinda weird & i just love it that is all

Yeah they've been on a crazy roll these last few episodes. All KIIIINDS of stories. Having this extended peek-on-the-nside, especially given Willam's healthy DGAF approach, has been amazing.
Also, just realized that Trixie has her own YT channel for the cosmetics and this was hilarious:

Great Katya interview from yesterday:

As mentioned in the interview, Trixie and Katya now have ANOTHER series, which is an amazing sponcon effort of all things. Netflix get them on board to do a thing called I Like to Watch, where they review various offerings on their own service. Happily, they do not hold back.

I am amused to note that this is not in fact the first sitting congressperson to appear on the show -- indeed, the current second person in line of succession to the entire executive branch already did.

Also, the best Valentine's tweet
Time out, hold up. Hold up, sweetheart. Let’s get it together before you wanna read. I don't have a valentine. I've never had a valentine. If I wanted a valentine, yes, I probably can go out and get one, because I AM WHAT? SICKENING.— Britt Stephens (@brittsteps) February 14, 2020

Getting the Criterion Paris is Burning this week and watching every last thing on it was a good thing to enjoy in and of itself AND get ready for tonight.

I love all these queens already and I want them to make my clothes for me.

Great 1st episode!The main challenge was pre-finale worthy. We called the outcome, but didn't expect it to happen that way. And what an amazing lipsynch!

I did love that. Good start to the season, nice way to revisit the season six approach but in a way that was both a surprise and far more of a good way to get to know everyone a little better.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 1 March 2020 05:36 (four years ago) link
Are they going to make Heidi change her name?

I like the sass that Nicky Doll threw back at the producer over hummus. Also, I'm probably going to mistakenly call her Nicky/Nikki Cox at some point this season.

Hmmm. Widow’s neoprene outfit was *really* badly fitting round the arse and her final runway look was terribly proportioned. Other queens have been in the bottom two for less.

Well, we already have a queen eliminated before they even set foot in the workroom:

Insane. Cannot WAIT for next week's Race Chaser episodes about all this.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 6 March 2020 20:44 (four years ago) link
if you read the comments on the fb apology it seems like this had continued on until as recently as dec of this year
― J0rdan S., Friday, 6 March 2020 21:52 (four years ago) link
Well, seeing the new episode with all that as background, whew. This is going to be one discordant viewing experience this season. (Like this new batch otherwise, and of course Robyn = A+.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 March 2020 21:30 (four years ago) link
i get that they can't edit her out of the show wholesale but i was sorta surprised to the degree with which they leaned on her confessionals, it felt off to me. maybe they'll adjust.
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 March 2020 22:38 (four years ago) link
It's very possible they simply didn't have time to edit around her given everything that happened. Let's see where things go next week, but if she has a long run on the show, then she'll be in those segments no matter what.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 8 March 2020 00:34 (four years ago) link
idk i think i want to send all six of these queens home. i like the first group way better?

I HATE YOUR HAIR AND YOUR MAKEUP
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 8 March 2020 01:38 (four years ago) link
Definitely. Maybe that's deliberate.
Sherry Pie makes those gurning, cross-eyed, drag queen faces that I hate (I get that they're part of the craft and the tradition, but I hate them anyway), so I won't be sorry to see her go. It will be interesting to see how she's written out.
― trishyb, Sunday, 8 March 2020 10:29 (four years ago) link
i like jan
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 March 2020 21:10 (four years ago) link
she seems headed for a break down at some point tho you can't care that much about drag race
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 8 March 2020 21:11 (four years ago) link
I like Jan surprisingly as well, and Rock M and Jaida (that bone structure!).
I looked up the cast just now because for the life of me I couldn't remember Dahlia's name, and noticed that this cast is incredibly young: no one over 34, and a total of four contestants in their 30s.
― Feminism-Appropriating Regressive Transphobe (Leee), Sunday, 8 March 2020 21:18 (four years ago) link
Yeah, when Jan first falls short this season it's going to make a hell of a thud.
― crusty but malignant (Eric H.), Sunday, 8 March 2020 21:40 (four years ago) link
Maybe I've got too narrow a notion of what Fosse should be, but I didn't really get Fosse from a one of them. Also, what Jan was suggesting for choreo was so much closer to the mark than the cheerleader explosion she pulled out on the main stage.
― crusty but malignant (Eric H.), Sunday, 8 March 2020 21:42 (four years ago) link
Oh yeah I never want to hear "Fosse" again after that episode.

Yeah, that was awful. How bad must it have been if this is the best hour they could cobble together out of it?
― trishyb, Saturday, 14 March 2020 20:00 (four years ago) link
What was interesting is how they CLEARLY took this past week to do a major minimizing job on Sherry Pie. No confessional appearances whatsoever, the fact that they had to show her winning the episode was almost grudging.
I did like the El Debarge moment.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 14 March 2020 20:11 (four years ago) link
Yeah that was fun. I just realised the episode is called World's Worst lol.
