Alright Mary: All Things Rupaul's Drag Race

We’ll be covering Drag Race España Season 2 on Patreon this season! To get access to the rest of Season 2, become a Matreon at www.patreon.com/alrightmary!   After a knockout first season, Drag Race España is back with twelve new queens, as well as the supreme Supremme, two times the Javi and fingers of Drag Race all star Ana Locking. The first week is the classic combo of a photoshoot mini challenge and a themed runway, with a healthy dose of social justice corner, backstory and potential feuds laid out in the workroom. According to PinkNews, fans are already calling for guest Gloria Trevi to be a permanent judge. Meanwhile, the fallen angel on the runway rises to the top and our first out is sent home with a ribbon.

Can we just go ahead and declare this the best Rusical ever? Yes we can can can, Mary! This week the top 7 star in a jukebox musical of RuPaul staples transformed into a masterful Moulin Rouge-inspired megamix. Lady Camden makes the most of a hairy situation, Willow Pill soars as a one scene queen, and Leland gives Best Supporting Top energy. DeJa walks dogs, Angie gets a Bea Arthur moment and Daya drunk-syncs. Unfortunately Bosco’s Saltine is a little dry and Jorgeous’s face doesn’t always keep up with her hips, sending the two into a lip sync that threatened to leave a vacancy. But worry not, because the drag gods/story producers have spoken….

Honestly Mary’s, this extra special episode was actually pretty extra special, in no small part because of Principal Skye’s workroom viewing party of this lip sync smackdown. Last week’s unfortunate seven duke it out in a race to the bottom, and we finally get to see some strategic gameplay that’s not just about the drama. Daya demands respect, Willow serves just enough and never too much (air guitar, that is), Jorgeous stops by to top a threeway, Angie serves enough stage presence to win two lip syncs (some would even say she did!), Camden earns a big hug and an award-worthy camera angle for the best performance of the night, and it all comes down to a beaten down Bosco against the piñata of the season, jazzy Jasmine, who spends the whole episode losing lip syncs and still leaves with a smile on her face.

Snatch Game rarely goes off without a hitch, but this season it barely got off the ground. Queens like Bosco and Willow have been making smart choices all season, but misstepped into muted takes on Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow. Angie’s Tammie was more beige than Brown while Camden made the tragic choice to be William Shakespeare (and not to be Joanna Lumley). Daya’s Ozzy and Jorgeous’s Ilana Glazer, well, weren’t, and Betsy DeVos tanked like Maxine Waters a few seasons ago, so fingers crossed we don’t get a Nancy Pelosi on Season 15. That being said, Michelle’s Investigation on the runway and Ru’s heavy kid gloves this week made for a refreshing take on a tanked challenge, and DeJa Skye finally nabbed a big win for her Lil Jon. Given how off the rails this one went, we had no choice but to instead spend more time celebrating Jujubee’s Cher on Drag Race UK vs the World, and of course break down Bob the Drag Queen’s formula for a good Snatch Game performance.

One of the goopiest seasons of Drag Race has a bit of a droopy conclusion as our final four lip sync for the crown and a real doozy of a musical collaboration with RuPaul. Baga, Blu, Mo and Juju run out of small talk just in time for the eliminated queens to pop by for one last runway. Untucked stirs up some old fashioned reunion style drama between Pangina and Jimbo, but it’s Lemon who gets the last laugh. In the end, Mo takes Baga out like a domino while Blu flexes and reflexes her lip sync muscles to defeat the Americans and nab it for Northern Ireland.

The Top 8 are talking dads, dadbods, dating and all things dudes for this week’s faux DragCon panel. It all feels more like the Pink Table Talk from All Stars 6, to be honest. DeJa and Bosco moderate their ways to top spots this week, Daya and little sister Jasmine continue their familial feuding, Willow gives bad handjobs and RuPaul can’t stop cooing. We discuss salty baristas, sex symbols like Lou Grant and Bob Hoskins, our own mixed emotions about DragCon, a surprise pizza queen, and who exactly won this lip sync. (Spoiler alert: it was Lady Camden.)

Before one of these queens can win the chance to record a song with RuPaul, they need to write and record a song with RuPaul! This extended audition of an episode gave us a supersized Social Justice Corner, which got us on some pretty heavy topics this week, from addiction to religion to conversion therapy, so get ready to go deep, Mary. Pangina remains in the competition via a Best Supporting Purse, Juju throws the fucks around in the workroom, Janey’s gotta hum, Mo masks up on the runway, Blu lives and dies by the sword and Baga snags a safe passage to the finale.

Welcome to the 60’s, Mary! The Top 9 split up into three mid-century American musical acts to channel a bygone era of TV. And honestly, they all kind of kill it. Jorgeous talks her way out of singing, Angeria dials into Diana Ross, and DeJa wins the episode the moment she puts that robe on. Jasmine and Daya attempt to have workroom conflict, Bosco and Lady Camden are page turners in the reading challenge, Willow taps in as narrator and Kerri Colby packs up her classroom and takes our hearts with her.

No matter what happened in Snatch Game this week, the shocking elimination of frontrunner/perfect queen Pangina Heals is what most people will remember from this week’s episode. Needless to say, we have lots to say. And lots to celebrate still, including Jujubee’s crazy stupid Cher, Baga’s surprisingly studied Annie Wilkes and a variety of takes on cancel culture that we’ll have even more to say about in Nuance, once we’ve picked ourselves up off the floor… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary(discount code: AlrightMary)

In essentially an extended episode of Punk’d, the queens are serving high class camp and lowbrow punchlines in this week’s acting challenge with a twist. Let’s just say everyone’s inner saboteur comes out, some more forceful than others, but at least no one goes home for it. Lady Camden finally gets a win (not to be confused with wind), Daya means business on the runway, DeJa Skye refuses to stop giving Big Principal Energy, Jasmine Kennedie refuses to stop giving Little Alyssa Energy, Bosco champions the importance of backrooms and Kerri Colby continues to narrate the hell out of this season.

The queens bring the worst of the West End to life in a smash hit of a Rusical/CabeRu/RuView/fake BBC talent show. But the real drama begins much earlier in the workroom, with the reveal of Juju’s lipstick in Jimbo’s bra. Baga keeps it bratty in rehearsals but continues her safe streak, Blu joins her for another week, Mo cartwheels after them, Juju serves Liza with the minimum Minelli, Janey reaps the rewards for her Streep, Pangina delivers on grimey Annie granny, and we’re not quite sure what happened with Jimbo but we can’t say we don’t love what her surprise exit from the show has given us on social media and in post-show interviews. To say nothing of that iconic Vengaboys lip sync this week, which we in fact say a lot about!

The queens are creating next day deliveries of custom couture designed completely from Michelle’s Glambien fueled Wishlist. (Relatable content.) Another design challenge may have Kerri Colby hoping for a miracle, but as a narrator, she is an All Star. Meanwhile Daya is making points about this week’s judging, even if her method still seems vaguely familiar, Bosco assembles an homage to IKEA, Jasmine takes a page from an iconic Drag Race legend, Jorgeous cookie-cuts her way to the top and Maddy heads straight to the bottom. We queen out on stepfamily Christmas, that Chappaquidick reference, the glory of fresh school supplies and even squeeze in some Alanis talk.

Iconic Drag Race Thailand co-host and Drag Race UK vs. the World frontrunner PANGINA HEALS joins us for a bonus interview this week! We cover everything from her inspirations to her aspirations, her earlier success on shows like T Battle in Thailand to her relationship with Art Arya, how she founded the House of Heals, manifesting, the power of No, and the dream come true of competing on an international stage. We of course queen out on a couple of our favorite DRT moments and do a deep dive into her looks for this week’s RuPaul Ball. Suffice it to say, we’re completely gooped, Mary’s!

You can never have enough balls on Drag Race, or a more fitting inspiration for one than Ru herself. Our eight international superstars are whipping up couture looks inspired by Miss Paul herself to pair with a variety of interpretations of “kitty girl” and a butch runway that gave us a real Heart-on. (That’s Mo Heart, to be exact.) There’s a little Baga drama this week, plus Pangina’s pin cushion, Jimbo’s slit, Juju’s cold pizza, Prison Janey and a bittersweet farewell to one of our favorite Holes.

The queens are giving back to the Drag Race community with this week’s poetic parody PSA Save a Queen, dedicated to lifting up early outs of the series like Kahmora Hall, Jaymes Mansfield and Tempest DuJour (really). And while the elimination at the end of this week’s episode wasn’t terribly shocking, the one at the beginning of the episode certainly was! Kornbread shuffled out with another classic Injury of Drag Race, clearing the way for some more queens to become frontrunners. This week Bosco shot to the top like the Seattle space needle, Lady Camden was truly the tea, Willow continued to bring the house down and Orion’s sequel in this competition ended as quickly as her first story. Get ready for A LOT of RuPaul Charles Elementary analogies this week, Mary’s!

The first international all-star season kicks off with your standard issue talent show, and to be honest, a few standard issue performances from an otherwise delightful pack of familiar faces. Jimbo launched into the lead with lunch meat, Pangina emptied the tank and set the stage on fire, Blu proved to be a triple threat, Baga Chipz was mostly crumbs, Janey took off her clothes, Cheryl served pizza, the Americans sang, and Lemon jumped from a Canuck fan favorite to bottom of the pack. We’re thrilled that Mel C said she’d be there, we welcome more phone acting from Ru, take a peek at Juju’s journal and briefly take sides on the Wordle craze.

The queens are creating supersized trailers for satirical versions of a season of Drag Race that’s only just begun. And it’s one of the best challenges we’ve seen in a while. But how much of that is thanks to an “UNHhhh” level of editing? Who cares, we get Willow Pill desperately seeking Jeffrey Bowyer Chapman, DeJa Skye as both a Social Justice Corner queen and a cow, Bosco doing bashful brain surgery and Kornbread rolling off a table. The Night of a Thousand JLo’s didn’t necessarily have us getting loud, but we have nothing but love for Loni, we appreciated Ru’s appreciation of nuance, and speaking of Nuance…we’ll save our thoughts on that lip sync for the aftershow… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMar

Nuance, the Alright Mary aftershow, is back this season for follow-up discussions and tangents on not only Season 14 but also the brand new UK vs the World season starting on February 1st! We’re kicking this week off by queening out on the 9 international queens returning (or in one queen’s case, moving to the other side of the judges panel) for some All Star style stunts and shenanigans. Then we catch up on some additional takes on that massive runway this week, send some love to the international seasons not featured in the upcoming season and imagine Michelle Visage as a Sesame Street neighbor. To continue hearing Nuance each week, join us as a Matreon at the Sister Mary or OnlyMary’s level!

The only thing better than one big opening is of course two big openings! This week seven more queens sashay into the cultural landscape of Drag Race, including of course the much discussed Miss Morphosis. We do have much to say about Maddy this week, from Ru’s interactions with her to the chords she didn’t quite strike in talent show. There’s also a brief rant/tangent on “And Just Like That” and the less said about “Schitt’s Creek” the better, but we also take a number of guesses at who these queens look like out of drag, we identify the goose of the season, queen out on the perils of Aunt DeJa and enjoy a brief but bittersweet case of Daya Betty.

Season 14 kicks off with a split premiere featuring seven new queens, Best Supporting Lizzo, a talent show and a surprising number of quotes just waiting to be driven into the ground. (By either RuPaul or us.) While it’s taking the Jambalaya a bit to heat up, Kornbread comes in hot, sweet and gif-able from the get-go. Alyssa Hunter looks like quite a Chase but her air guitar doesn’t strike a chord, Bosco petals burlesque on the runway and great commentator energy in the talking heads, Kerrie jumps rope but could easily jump networks, Orion calls Ru on her hamburger phone but the connection is cut short and Willow Pill inspires an unfortunate amount of baby talk. (By both Ru and us.)
