After a really bad turn during last week's lip-sync that Lydia B Kollins might be regretting for some time, (check out Eden Arnold's thoughts on the round: "RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 Ep 11 Review: XOXO, Truman Capote"), MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17  returns this week with S17E12: "Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve & Talent Monologues." For[...]

MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 has finally gotten good (it only took half the season), and this week's scripted acting challenge is nothing short of a delight to watch Top tier "Drag Race" episode, for sure, at least so far in this season It carries the same energy as the Rusical, which is impressive[...]

After Arrietty took the long walk last week (check out Eden Arnold's thoughts on the round: "RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 Ep 10 Review: Roast Me, Drag Daddy"), MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17  returns this week with S17E11: "Ross Mathews vs The Ducks." This week's main challenge sees our queens tasked with acting in a sketch[...]

RuPaul's Drag Race gets messy this week – leave it to the roast episode to deliver on the drama, especially when hosting and telling jokes have so many of these queens absolutely terrified As for the actual comedy roast portion of the week, the queens had to roast Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Kandy Muse, and Plane[...]

RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 has another design challenge? Anything that isn't another acting challenge! All jokes aside, this continues with the trend of feeling like an actually good episode of RuPaul's Drag Race and not something cheap or gimmicky for press or filler Betsey Johnson is an iconic modern designer, and of course it[...]

That means it's time for the next round of MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17  – with S17E10: "The Villains Roast" featuring comedian and actress Whitney Cummings serving as a guest judge while our queens are tasked with paying a comedy tribute to "three of the shadiest queens in 'Drag Race' herstory" (that was in the official[...]

MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 is back tonight with the season's ninth round, "Heaven to Betsey" – and gracing our screens will be none other than than iconic fashion designer and pop culture influencer for 60+ years, Betsey Johnson It's design time for our queens, as they're challenged to create a new look inspired by[...]

It's that magical time of the year again! No, not Girl Scout cookie season, though eating a box of Thin Mints while watching this week's RuPaul's Drag Race is highly recommended – it's time for season 17's Rusical! This season's musical challenge is The Wicked Wiz of Oz: the Rusical and the queens had to[...]

Thanks to Bleeding Cool's very own Eden Arnold, we have an extensive recap of last week's "Snatch Game" and more for you to check out – which means that we can jump right into our preview for tonight's episode of MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17! This week, our queens are going to get a chance to[...]

It's time to play the Snatch Game, RuPaul's Drag Race season 17! I know last week was the sea-sickening ball, but after this week's snatch game and elimination, I feel seasick, mama Let's get into it, and you better believe there's a lot to unpack with this snatch For starters, the drag delusion is absolutely contagious and[...]

Welcome back to your preview/viewing guide to MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17! Last week saw Hunter Schafer (HBO's Euphoria) join the Emmy Award-winning reality competition series – and Hormona Lisa leave the competition, losing the lip-sync competition ("Get Him Back!" by Olivia Rodrigo) to Lana Ja'Rae This week, one of the funniest actors/comedians walking the[...]

MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race always shows out when it comes to balls, and this season is no exception The queens were tasked with three runway looks: bathing beauties, sea creature couture (where they had to create a look inspired by an actual sea creature), and the main challenge of the week: sea-sickening eleganza, where they[...]

MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 is back, and this week, it's everyone's least favorite filler challenge, "RDR Live!" Regardless if SNL is your jam or not, "RDR Live!" is really just mediocre, but let's get down to it anyway because the ending is absolutely gag-worthy. The runway of the week is "tickled pink" and wouldn't you know it,[...]

With no one eliminated last week, this week's edition of MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 sees Hunter Schafer (HBO's Euphoria) and stylist Law Roach set as judges for "Let's Get Sea Sickening Ball."

RuPaul's Drag Race is finally getting moving after sending the first queen home on last week's ball challenge The twist, of course, being the "badonka dunk" which consists of 10 levers, two of which save the eliminated queen and keep them alive in the competition The maxi-challenge is a "singing challenge" though I can't really[...]

RuPaul's Drag Race prides itself on showing many styles of drag (or really the same five tropes of drag), and All Stars has always given a chance to queens who weren't recognized the first time around. With themes for All Stars, like the "Oops all winners" season 7, I present my dream season of RuPaul's Drag Race All[...]

By the time the glitter settled and the dry ice machine smoke cleared on last week's "Monopoly!"-themed round of MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17, Joella and Lucky Starzzz found themselves lip-syncing to "(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me" by Paula Abdul to stay alive Joella would walk away with the win, with Lucky Starzzz[...]

MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race is back with even more balls this season – right after both big openings! In case you're behind, last week's episode had some gaggery and not necessarily in a good way, leaving us with the entire cast of 14 queens heading into the ball challenge Naturally, with a challenge to measure[...]

Leave it to MTV's RuPaul's Drag Race to introduce a potential game-changer like "The Badonka Dunk Tank" into Season 17, only to waste absolutely no time whatsoever having it come into play What's "The Badonka Dunk Tank"? It's a chance for an eliminated queen to keep from being eliminated by selecting one of the two levers[...]

The RuPaul's Drag Race family worldwide is grieving today over the sudden loss of UK winner and global drag ambassador The Vivienne. James Lee Williams, 32, was a Welsh actor, singer, and performer who adopted the drag name in tribute to iconic fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood The official statement released reads: "It is with immense sadness[...]

It's not like the finale of a season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars isn't reason enough for viewers to get excited – but when you get a visit from the woman who very well could be (fingers, toes, and other various body parts crossed) the next President of the United States of America, it[...]
