Though a regular viewer of Drag Race I don't know much of the wider culture. So here's my question, who exactly are the pageant queens and what do they do? They seem to look down their nose at the other queens but from what I've seen over the seasons their defining trait is a Dementor-like ability to suck the

She and Violet were just the most delightful sparkling company in Untucked. I want there a to be a TV show in which them two just hang out, chat and do stuff. And a sitcom with Pearl's Big Ang and Joslyn's Teresa Guidice.

To be fair to her, perhaps Snatch Game's greatest ever off the cuff remark "We originated the language" was spoken in response to a joke that Trinity fumbled.

I wish this episode had been five to ten minutes longer, to really show their scowling thunderous expressions on hearing the news. It's not edifying to admit but I find the sight of queens fuming on the runway entertaining.

She narrowly edged out Katya in being the queen who made me laugh the loudest. Reflecting on it I'm starting to feel a little aggrieved she didn't win.

Like with Chad's Cher, Ginj's Adele had more nuance and layers than might be obvious on the first viewing. It was by far her best runway.

Pearl and Violet were very complimentary about Ginj in Untucked and her dipping the doughnuts into the red wine. A very neat little visual gag. I'm from the same part of the world as Adele and I love to hear nothing more than someone from the other side of the Atlantic do their version of the way us suburban North

The world and story of The Last of Us is very bleak but it's not unremitting. In the abandoned cities returning to nature we can see this world has beauty. Humanity has been reduced to it's cruellest and ugliest but there are still fleeting glimpses of compassion, selflessness, kindness, hope even.

As soon as I saw you-know-who I said out loud "You got to be fucking kidding me", ejected the disc and sat scowling at the screen. As far as I'm concerned, the final five minutes of Mass Effect 3 are something that just happened to other people.

I could not bear what Shadow of the Colossus was asking me to do so I had to stop playing and delete the save

How to explain it? Though technically a loyal citizen of The Peoples Republic Of Bloke I happen to reside in a disputed restive border region, the equivalent of Tibet or Xinjiang.

It's nice that Kandy's final moments on Drag Race were spent doing a lipsynch that made Ariana Grande very happy.

I could see that working out for Kennedy. I believe that Little Richard started his career as a drag queen in New Orleans and there's something very dragqueeny about his persona and performing style. Doing somebody so flamboyant and high energy could be a lot of fun.

I see Kennedy as a sleepy cartoon bear who doesn't seem to have yet realised is a contestant on Drag Race

I like Pearl too. Something I'm not too proud to admit is that I found the sight of Pearl and Miss Fame as Michelle and Merle wrestling in the jello …enjoyable.

Obscurity is no problem if they can make it funny. I have no idea who Teresa Giudice is but Joslyn Fox was hysterical as her. "Prostitution Whoreses"

Like many of the straight(ish) men who regularly watch I've often pondered if earlier in my life I'd taken a different turn, moved to America, pursued a career as a drag queen and ended up on Drag Race. In that scenario my guiding philosophy for every challenge would be "What would Tilda Swinton do?"

Max is the prudish great aunt from an Ealing Comedy.

In terms of concept and execution Max's runway look was flawless.

I had that exact same thought when I read that, it's the perfect encapsulation of what this season feels like.
