Drag Race Extravaganza Part 2

Send us a text


Welcome back, squirrel friends!  Our deep dive into Season
12 of RuPaul's Drag Race continues.

01:41 Snatch Game!We continue our journey through
Drag Race herstory by discussing memorable past performances by
Bianca Del Rio (Season 6) and Tatianna (Season 2).  Jocelyn
extends her deepest apologies for having a complete brain fart
and forgetting that Bob the Drag Queen knocked it out of the park
in Season 8 as both Uzo Aduba and Carol Channing.  We then
get into the Season 12 performances.  As longtime fans of
the Housewives franchise, we really enjoyed Jackie Cox as Lisa
Rinna.  Heidi was also lots of fun as Leslie Jones.


38:28 Madonna Rusical!Thanks to Jocelyn's mic snafu,
we were able to watch the Rusical episode before recording the
second half of our discussion.  We are happy to report that
Kristine, the Drag Race newbie, enjoyed her very first
Rusical.  We both agreed that it felt a bit long at times,
but the episode was entertaining nonetheless.  We took
exception to Jaida not being in the Top 3.  We were happy to
see her work through the nerves and serve up a sexy
performance.  We saluted the the return of Jamal Sims and
share our thoughts on the night of 1,000 Michelle Visages theme.


1:18:30 LEWKS!!!Kristine is loving the fashions this
seasons, so it should come as no surprise that she had more than
one favorite look to share.  Jocelyn can NEVER settle on one
pick, so she had multiple favorite looks too.  One thing is
clear, Gigi and Jaida are SERVING this season and we are loving
every second of it.


1:37:07 Best Lip Sync for Your LifeIt's Drag Race,
so of course we discuss the Lip Sync for Your Life
face-offs.  As of the Rusical, we were still waiting for the
performance that knocked our socks off, but the potential is
clearly there.  We're keeping an eye on The Widow
Von'Du.  We don't want to see her in the bottom, but there
is no question that she is a lip sync assassin in the
making.  We also chat about some past memorable lip syncs
from the show.  


1:46:02 Top Contenders and Season 12 FavoritesWe get
into our top contenders as of the Rusical episode.  Gigi
Goode is emerging as the queen to beat.  We are a little
frustrated that Jaida does not get more love from the
judges.  She should be a clear frontrunner, but the show
seems to suggest otherwise based on her placement in
challenges.  And then there are the queens we love and don't
want to see leave - Heidi and The Widow.  We also talk about
which eliminated queen we'd like to see return.


2:13:33 Narrator of the SeasonEach season, a few
queens shine in their confessional interviews and give life to
all of the drama and competition.  The Widow Von'Du is one
of the funniest narrators to emerge on the show in a long time
and we cannot imagine what an episode would be like without her
wit and shade.  Not to be outdone, Heidi has also proven to
be a force in the confessionals and we would truly miss her voice
if she was eliminated.
