Not opposed to the shorter episodes once they got down to 10-12 queens. The pace and editing is terrible as it is. It’s also a disservice to the queens in terms of air time.

I wonder if Salina is, like, red/green colorblind and doesn’t know it? Her looks are always terrible and she doesn’t seem aware of it at all.
I am not enjoying this season precisely because of the format. It comes across like an approximation of DR instead of the real thing and i feel like MTV hates the show and wants to kill it.
This season is just… really not clicking with me. Hobbled by a return to a shorter run time, absolutely. But this batch of queens is just not terribly compelling yet, even considering the standouts so far. I’m just finding it hard to care very much.
Especially with the number of queens they have this season, shorter episodes just don’t really make sense. The mini challenge felt like a highlights reel and the maxi challenge in the werk room felt rushed. The whole episode gave me scrapbook vibes.
Really not enjoying the 40-minute format. These reviews are longer than the episodes themselves. Bring back the 1-hour shows!
Interestingly, and potentially a bad omen, RuPaul takes a moment to sort of read both Salina and Amethyst during the walkthrough.
Sasha—who must have overheard RuPaul’s advice about replicating what works for you—dons palm print swimwear and a flamingo robe. She looks great, but she could’ve been more ambitious with the challenge.
I didn’t know who the twins were or what work they’ve done, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and enough rope to hang themselves, which they did this episode. Their impersonations were awful (I felt embarrassed for Miley Cyrus) and their lip sync was amateur at best.
It’s been amusing for me to see people complain about the shorter episodes when the show had many seasons on the air before 90 minutes became the standard runtime, and it never seemed to be lacking anything. With this episode, I am honestly pissed off about it. If you’re going to do a double Snatch Game and feature 14…
I note that the judges are always there to pick apart Marcia’s drag, even though she’s excelled at all of the challenges so far, and even though there are other, worse, sartorial offenders on the season. I’m taking from this the probability that production didn’t pick her for a top placement, and now don’t know what…
I’ve been finding the twins fake, generic, and annoying - and just unfunny - from the start, and learning about their trauma in Untucked was helpful in getting to see behind their façade. I still do find their type of comedy to be a lot of noise and jabbering, but at least I know something about the real them.
Mistress was not equally good as Loosey in Snatch Game. Mistress was funny! But Loosey was truly fantastic as Joan Rivers and the obvious and clear winner.
The twins have a something to them, but their identities are performers both in and out of drag so I don’t think they quite work for this show. There is no separation between them and the Sugar and Spice persona.
There is a petition on Change.org demanding the return of 90 minute episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race with more than 25,000 signatures.
Look, I’m forward-thinking - I accept that people like her didn’t choose to celebrate christmas, and that they were just born that way. What I don’t understand is why they just have to be so flamboyant about it. Like, can’t you do your christmas stuff behind closed doors, and not throw it in all of our faces? I’m…
And I bet they’ll very quietly not have any interacial couples either. Or just non-white people at all.
Keep traditional marriage at it’s core? What from the several Hallmark movies that may feature primary gay-married couples?
Traditional marriage involves trading your 15 year old daughter for goats.
As I like to point out to my regressive shit head family. Traditional marriage excludes marriage after divorce. Their marriage is equal to gay marriage to people like Bure.
