Episode 106: Drag Race Thailand – Episode 1
To quote the legendary Gia Gunn, we're just taking a little trip to Asia and landing like fresh tilapia on Drag Race Thailand! With a week off from Season 10, we're getting a head start on this little biddi-biddi TV show's southeast Asian sister by diving into the first episode. We still don't know who wins, but there are a few queens we're already excited about. (To say nothing of "big mama" Natalia Pliacam!) We also go on a tangent about gay cruises, Drag Race music cues, campy competitiveness and Project Runway Season 10 contestants.
Our apologies for the sound this week, we only realized after recording that our mic's really failed us. Nevertheless, we wiggled!

Episode 105: Drag Race Season 10 – Social Media Kings Into Queens
Six camera ready social media mavens make for good TV in this season's makeover challenge. Cracker finally catches a break with Miss Cookie, who joins the legion of breakout makeovers (like Sarge...). We look back on previous season's narrators, spend an inordinate amount of time talking about ugly crying, theorize about the future of Miss Vanjie, thirst for Chester See and ponder a season without our bespectacled narrator as we say a fond farewell to Monet X Change.

Episode 104.5: NUANCE – Muscle Mary: Considering Kameron Michaels

Episode 104: Drag Race Season 10 – Breastworld
In Breastworld, all your fantasies can come true--so long as those fantasies involve Bingo and something to do with chicken. Despite a questionable script for this week's acting challenge, Aquaria finds her niche as a relatable robot (which has sort of been Miz Cracker's thing this whole season, right?) while Kameron struggles with human emotions altogether. Monet wears even less hair on the runway, Eureka taint afraid of no splits in the lip sync and Cracker gets crumbs from the judges once again.

Episode 103: Drag Race Season 10 – The Unauthorized Rusical
Wagon Wheel Watusi, Mary! The queens are channeling their inner Chad Michaels to bring us Cher through the ages in this season's live singing Rusical. But first, we queen OUT on Asia's chat with The Vixen in the workroom. We also discuss Aquaria's long con, who really should have won this week and disagree on the amazingness of that lip sync. Plus: Mario Kart strategies, Billy Eichner fantasies and the nuances of air instruments done right (if that's possible).

Episode 102: Drag Race Season 10 – SNATCH GAME
Well blank me silly, Mary--it's Snatch Game! The top 7 have made it to the heart of the season--and for the Heart of the Season, it's the end of a tough road. (But nevertheless, she wiggled!) We celebrate Monique Heart a little more before turning our attention to this season's panel of celebrity guests. Aquaria's Melania was surprisingly nuanced, while Asia's Beyonce was more Mommie Dearest than Sasha Fierce, with her sights set on The Vixen's not fully realized Blue Ivy. But the real drama is on the runway when Ru stokes the fire by asking who should go home this week...
