All criticism that I’ve read of DR Canada has been fair and correct, but the cast was amazing, and their amazing (collective and individual) talent should be recognized.

I’m struggling with Tayce at this point because she still hasn’t brought the performance to match the attitude. Like many twenty-somethings, she continually mistakes bitchery for wit and humour, and I find her talking heads to be increasingly tiresome. I could say the same about A’Whora, but there’s something in her de…

UKDR spoiler:

I’ve started over with S12 from the beginning, and I can’t believe how much better the pacing was in that season compared with this one. It’s like the RuPaul watched it and decided to reshoot it while emphasizing every production flaw and downplaying its strengths. Symone continues to be amazing, but this “special”…

With the exception of “cycle” one, ANTM was tremendously exploitative and cruel to its contestants. Drag Race, for all of its faults (and it has them) is generally not. I don’t doubt that the show has enabled many of its contestants to actually have decent-paying careers — which they wouldn’t have had if not for their…

Well, at least we got to see the very first episode of The Kandy Muse Show! Good god, did they put a gag order on Denali? I’m amazed that, for something that took over forty minutes, this special was basically content-free.

I was actually wondering where the crew members were and how they and their families fared during the pandemic. Thanks for not sharing, Ru! I saw Sarge — once — a couple of episodes ago, and that’s been it.

You just know that Coronavirus: the unauthorized Rusical is coming for Season 14.

UKDR: entire group sighs sadly and fondly at funny farewell message written on mirror.

S2 Ru: “We’re going to move on from this (drama).”

Most of the blame for what’s happened with Utica should be placed directly at the feet of the editors. She’s produced some great looks, has had quite a few memorable performances, and seems pretty likeable, but her edit has been shit and the show doesn’t know what to do with her, so she’s usually portrayed as…

The show’s becoming overproduced, plain and simple. Drag Race is/was at its most charming when it’s got some crunch to it, and the main show has slowly and surely removed most of the rough edges that made it so entertaining in the first place. The international versions of the show, which have little to no production…

I think this is exactly right. We’re getting Olivia largely filtered through the unreliable narration of Tina Burner like it’s a goddamn RuHollywood story from S7, and I’m not buying it. She’s a consistently top perfomer (even if she’s not my favourite), and I’m not sure why she’s getting this edit. Although I’m sure…

UKDR SPOILER:

what the hell happened to Tina?

Vangie was brought back because she squeezed her lemons and created a moment and became interesting to the general public. And publicity and fame are things that RuPaul respects above little else. But she then went pretty far into S11 (and should have won a challenge or two) because of her talent, annoying as she can…

(Um, Rose, that was orange. Under the lights onstage, I thought maybe Michell was wrong, but Untucked showed beyond a doubt.)

UKDR SPOILER:

“I’m recreating Beyonce’s iconic look from Lemonade.” Well no, honey, but you did recreate Holly Hobbie’s iconic look from my sister’s lunchbox in 1978.

I’ll have to disagree with you on this one, especially as we’ve already been treated to the vastly superior “Rats: the Rusical” on UKDR within the past few weeks. I frankly did not understand the styling and choreo for this show: what the heck has the Weimar Republic got to do with social media — and by invoking Cabare…
