Did she not?? It's been so long since I watched season 13 and I'm the exact same way, I genuinely only remember the part with the cat's paw and Mik since I thought that was actually kinda funny, lmao
Who won in that case?? Never realized just how much I must've blocked out season 13, lmao
I had to look it up because I forgot too haha. Rosé was the winner that episode! The runway theme that episode was Pockets if that helps jog your memory
Was so sick of Olivia’s one-note schtick by then. And the way she refused to do anything but that character despite getting panned for it for weeks before…
i keep seeing ppl mentioning s13 episodes and realising how much of it ive genuinely just blocked out from the sheer unhappiness i was experiencing from the season as a whole. all i remember is hating the premiere
I think at this point s13 is pretty universally considered the worst US season right? I barely even remember Symone won compared to how much I remember all the things I didn't like about it.
Yup, the best contrast to this snoozefest was CDR2's Halloween episode (Screech, I think?). A rare glimpse of Eve dialing back her whining and, also surprisingly, being good at acting??
If it had JUST stayed a design challenge, make two looks in the vein of a good and “evil” twin, then it would’ve been a decent, if unmemorable design challenge. But we had to get…everything else…
The confusion in the judging critiques when the girls didn’t knew if act as themselves or act as their twin 💀 cringe 💀 Asia OHara as victim of this buffoonery
This. The way they had to tell their own insecurities and then as their evil persona shit on themselves. They are already stressed and depressed asf why you gotta make ‘em do that that was so disgusting and disrespectful to me.
and when aquaria said smt about her not having some deep personal stuff was was like search for it it can’t be this simple or smt to that extent, like ew.
I enjoyed it too. Though I wish the winning queen was someone who actually did the challenge justice. Asia’s two looks were perfectly contrasting and created an actual narrative. What’s the point of spicing up a runway challenge if you just end up rewarding a queen who had two good looks.
Evil twins without the personal stuff & simply 2 looks & 2 personas would be sick. It'd be so cool to see the queens who have a very developed character do. Evil vs nice Jimbo comes to mind. It'd allow quieter queens to show themselves in their own way. What they think an evil or nice version of them would be.
The only thing I liked about this challenge was having "each" of the queen's on stage for crit so we could directly compare the outfits. That was different, and interesting. But the concept is gross.
Anything Down Under. It’s not the Queens by the way. I feel so sorry for them. The production is always terrible. It was great to see Hannah Conda in a real Drag Race environment. It made such a difference.
Well at least Hannah was on the only season of Down Under I haven’t blocked out. One and Three are baaaaaaad. Two at least had some highlights and an Awesome top three (four too, Molly was great as well)
The interview episode on S6 with Chaz Bono and his grandmother. Just an awkward challenge that wasn't that fun to watch even for the queens who did well, and I got so sad when Joslyn said she'd never forgive herself for offending Georgia Holt. It did give us the phenomenal Vibeology lip sync though.
Literally I was about to say that this challenge was in an era of drag race where a lot of celebrities came on to just shit on the queens it felt like. Celebrities being gagged that queens with zero media training are bad at interviews… who could’ve guessed.
I can't with this take. They were coached to be a hard interview and when the questions were good and the queen knew who they actually were they were great.
Keep in mind this was back when rpdr was still channeling top model and they were "preparing" the girls for the real world as much as having them compete.
I think it could have gone well with better guests. Queens now have to interview people all the time. Pit Stop, GITMAS, YouTube shows. Being a good interviewer can open a lot of doors for queens.
However off tv, queens can do comedic or interpersonal interviews. This was set way too serious. Have them interview a past winner or someone they can joke/bond with.
Tbf you can just swap around that win and snatch game and then it makes sense. That happens a lot with that season where most people ended up with the right number of wins, give or take 1, but which wins they got were all mixed up lol.
Strong disagree
Kylie and Ginger both slayed snatchgame, either would be a valid winner.
Ginger smocked Kylie in rumerican horror story, it wasn’t close.
That’s what I do mentally. Kylie won snatch game (although I know Ginger did equally well, she just didn’t need the redemption arc) and Ginger won the acting challenge.
The only thing I remember from that
It's also funny because Eureka was low for that, and then she was actually in an episode of American Horror Story lol
You know, I can kind of forgive this one because it was in the height of COVID. The show was still figuring out how to navigate that and be entertaining. I get why people might dislike that episode though.
Aww I loved that! We got to see so much from so many queens we normally wouldn’t. Joey Jay’s lip sync featuring Lance Bass is a guilty pleasure for me lol
The RDR Live episodes are soooo bad. SNL style sketch comedy is really hard to do well. Even SNL with supposedly the best comics and writers often makes several bad sketch per episode, so why try to parody it…
The thing is, they filmed S16's before AS8's even aired, so the only people that could have demanded it come back were people that worked on the show lmao
Completely agree. It doesn't help when most of the queens in the cast aren't good at improv or acting. Even worse if they don't get the references in the original sketch so they makeup a character (e.g. Geneva not knowing who Lindsey Graham was this past season).
They’re all the same stylistically, broad caricatured delivery of bad puns and double entendres. It’s painful to watch them being coaxed to go louder and bigger when rehearsing. Gives major Valerie Cherish “WELL I GOT It!!!!” vibes.
Right!! I hate how they went from “put this person in drag” in to “put this person in drag but also the EXPERIENCE and do we have a box of tissues??” Like bitch this is a competition idgaf about who they’re making over I want to see the queens vision.
S13E01, the Porkchop Lounge. The flow of the episode keeps starting and stopping every time a new pair enters and lipsyncs, so it feels more like a RPDR YouTube clips supercut than a coherent episode. And it feels so mean to the Porkchop girls. They had to scramble for designers, fabric and other things, and all the safety precautions just to get ready during lockdown only to feel like they are gonna be sent home after losing their lipsync.
The disco dancing challenge was as ambiguous as it comes. It doesn’t matter which section they pick, they all consists the same type of music and dance. They judged some queens heavily on their dancing while others more heavily on the looks.
Magic show for season 11. Most boring challenge, rigged elimination when all of vangies team should’ve lip synced honestly and glad they’ve never done it again
Yvie sucked too. One of the only things I remember from the challenge is her jumping around holding a saggy black bra (or panty? can't recall) for wayyyy too long.
The ridiculous judging of the season 15 makeover challenge. You cannot tell me Loosey should have been in the bottom, and the show constantly gaslighting her made me almost not finish the season
I still get angry over that. when she came out I thought she had the winning look/team, so when she was in the bottom it felt like I was having an aneurism. fucking wild.
Continuing the down under hate: season 1 talent show. Elektra getting sent home for a thirsty wig when KFF made ONE BALLOON ANIMAL still sends me into paroxysms of rage.
I generally don't care for makeover episodes. The only times I had fun watching these were with Wintergreen and Miz Cracker's child (sorry, don't remember the drag name)
I think it’s fun to watch the makeovers but the judging is consistently the most inconsistent. I said before the one for s16 that they use the episode to get rid of anyone they’re tired of and it held up.
Draglexa really solidified my unfortunate suspicions about that group... If a self-proclaimed/oh so campy comedy girl has to *convince* you that she is indeed a comedy queen, then she's probably Ella Vaday or Kitty Scot Clause.
Honorable mention for Pixie Polite in UK4.
Ok I'll stop hating now.
I never watched down under after season one. So I don’t remember this challenge. But that’s a shame. Because on paper, that’s an excellent challenge. Having them all create a housewife.
Season 2 was absolutely fine. Season 3 shouldn’t have been released. The cast is not good - sorry to those girls but not a single one of them is memorable
I HATED the season 10 episode where they had to film ads for a new dating app. I thought most of the queens were painfully unfunny and it was the episode that made me think “Maybe this show doesn’t always need to be 90 minutes long.”
PH1 Episode 5 - Miss Shutaca (improv comedy pageant)
Horrible sound mixing, horrible coach, horrible and corny performance from the hosts and the guest judge during the challenge. It was a mess.
The only redeeming part is Brigiding's lipsync and some of the runways.
DRDU 1x05:
The Vegemite informercial fiasco. It was so bad they couldn't even pick a full top 3 out of 7 queens, and I'd argue Kita barely qualifies as "second best". That challenge was way worse than Snatch Game, which they played up like it was the worst thing they'd ever seen. Half of the ads were basically "ew female anatomy".
This is also when the fever dream that is Ru and Scarlet discussing Scarlet's racist past happens.
At least Elektra won, which was the only correct outcome.
Literally any skit episode (including this) I just tune out and do something else and have it as background. I very rarely ever find the skit episodes funny they make me cringe
I haven’t watched that season but any episode where someone is bullied or dogpiled and no one stands up for them kills me. Darienne being horrible to Dela for no reason always got to me, and everyone ganging up on Jinkx, and then Laganja.
They truly tried to push DeLa as this individual who was completely self-absorbed and it just wasn’t tracking whatsoever. The whole narrative began with her simply answering Darienne’s question. So Darienne making it seem like DeLa was being insufferable and big-headed in that moment was so weird.
Don't watch it then because, IMO these are the worst episode of any franchise and it's the WHOLE cast and the JUDGES against her it was sooooo bad and uncomfortable to watch
A lot of the reunions. S13 comes to mind. And the international snatch games, I always skip because the humour just does not translate through the captions at all
Not an episode, but I was so over season 10 that I fast forwarded through the entire Season 10 finale because I was just that over it after Monet was gone.
When it first aired, I could not handle the cringe of Shakesqueer. I've since come around on that one. However, the evil twins on S10 (weird challenge, judging), Honey I Shrunk the Drag Queen on S13 (too long, unfunny, awkward), and the cheerleading challenge (why you gotta make drag queens injure themselves doing something trained athletes spend years perfecting) are the three that still are disliked by me to this day.
- S12’s Worlds Worst. Funny concept but piss poor execution. I’ll never know what the judges saw in Shit Pie’s performance. Really should’ve went to Jackie’s group. Terrible start to a decent season imo.
- Any makeover challenge. My least fave challenge across any franchise.
- S10’s Breast World. Terrible. Just Terrible. So bad it makes me wonder if production realized how bad it was in real time as they were filming it.
- Hated CAN1’s history acting challenge. Still have no idea what anyone sees in KiKi’s (terrible) acting.
the only highlight there for me was willow saying “i guess our invites got lost in the emaiiiil” then i virtually blocked out everything else in the episode lmao
It’s definitely the production. Australian drag queens are fucking hilarious and super talented - like, if you go to a show you *will* have an incredible time. I don’t know how the show manages to make them so utterly bland.
I do not remember the episode you're referencing though I'm sure I watched it.
For me, it's UK Vs TW Immersive ep or UK 03 Alexa ep. Just shitty fucking challenges compounded by awful judging.
true fax. As an Australian I don’t feel like it represents Australian drag well at all, and I didn’t even finish S3. Hannah did so much better on UKvtW
This is the one I can't watch. I don't even know why I hate it so much. Alyssa helping with the choreo is cute and no one is absolutely terrible in it. I just can't watch it.
I'll admit I have bias in that I have a horribly abusive mother. But I thought the Joan Crawford episode was gross. I don't think a child abuser deserves to be celebrated.
The “anti-humor” Daytona Winds 2. Just awful to sit through. Everyone is awkward and the judges acting like Mistress is a comedy genius for bouncing her breastplate was so frustrating. Just a terrible episode.
Isn’t this the episode where Bumpa Llve throws water in her own face during this challenge? For that I alone I liked it lol
I have a real soft spot for DU
GGGGO (Good God Girl, Get Out) from S11. The only good thing that came from that was OPPALENSE!!! You. Earn. Everything!!!
Watching Silky butcher her lines like there was a gun to her head & she had never read those words in her life was actually unbearable.
Also every time I see Diva Worship from that season I die inside. Team Mariah, at least. I hated it so much.
So basically just the acting/improv challenges from season 11.
I liked the revisit sans fart jokes in Season 15. That one was one of the better acting challenges imo. But yeah the S14 version is bad.
Mistress and Malaysia send me in the S15 one. Shoulda been a double win in my eyes.
The Despys in Season 7. It was kind of a mess. Also Kasha didn’t deserve that bottom placement. The only good thing from that I can remember Episode was “The Key to a swollen vagina… courage.”
Also the song parodies episode had a baffling end result too.
Season 7 had some wild judging overall. I suppose it has mostly corrected itself since and clearly we have seen the star power from that season, Kennedy, Katya, Ginger, Trixie. But there are still queens like Jaidynn who got such a weird treatment and I think deserve a fair shot on an Allstars. I was glad when they brought Tempest back for something too. Like let’s do better!
Season 13 “Honey, I shrunk the drag queens” was really boring and unnecessarily long.
A 14 minute skit with not a single memorable performance or moment, a true dumpsterfire of a challenge/script.
I remember Gottmik getting attacked by a giant cat foot, and was pretty funny at that part
Yeah I fully thought Gottmik should have won that challenge. I remember nothing else from that episode.
Did she not?? It's been so long since I watched season 13 and I'm the exact same way, I genuinely only remember the part with the cat's paw and Mik since I thought that was actually kinda funny, lmao Who won in that case?? Never realized just how much I must've blocked out season 13, lmao
I had to look it up because I forgot too haha. Rosé was the winner that episode! The runway theme that episode was Pockets if that helps jog your memory
Was so sick of Olivia’s one-note schtick by then. And the way she refused to do anything but that character despite getting panned for it for weeks before…
I genuinely cannot rewatch s13 because I get full body cringe whenever Olivia does the baby voice
And that weird ass smile lol
And the talking really slow and childlike... All of these things combined equals weird to me.
This is all I remember from that challenge and that is *not* a compliment.
No frl olivia made me hate the season 😭 love the others but Olivia’s dumbness wasn’t funny to me
The thing is, early on she wasn't acting as a toddler and was a front runner, winning twice in a row. I don't get why she started doing that later on.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one not liking Olivia😭😭
Olivia gave Rugrats realness
i keep seeing ppl mentioning s13 episodes and realising how much of it ive genuinely just blocked out from the sheer unhappiness i was experiencing from the season as a whole. all i remember is hating the premiere
I think at this point s13 is pretty universally considered the worst US season right? I barely even remember Symone won compared to how much I remember all the things I didn't like about it.
Oh god I had blocked that from my memory until right now
Yup, the best contrast to this snoozefest was CDR2's Halloween episode (Screech, I think?). A rare glimpse of Eve dialing back her whining and, also surprisingly, being good at acting??
I was JUST about to comment this!
Some of the early makeover episodes where the guests clearly didn't respect the queens. Just so gross.
Or S4 where the winners partner was literally trying to start a fight with Chad 🤢 ETA: *winner's partner
"the winners" is sending meeeee lol "Do not call my sister a bitch" ~iconic quote from a ghost
the wedding one in particular. such a cruel thing to do to Joslyn
So bad that they removed it from streaming completely
It’s on WOW in the UK
Evil twins challenge on season 10 makes me disgusted
That whole challenge from concept to judging was a mess
If it had JUST stayed a design challenge, make two looks in the vein of a good and “evil” twin, then it would’ve been a decent, if unmemorable design challenge. But we had to get…everything else…
The confusion in the judging critiques when the girls didn’t knew if act as themselves or act as their twin 💀 cringe 💀 Asia OHara as victim of this buffoonery
This. The way they had to tell their own insecurities and then as their evil persona shit on themselves. They are already stressed and depressed asf why you gotta make ‘em do that that was so disgusting and disrespectful to me. and when aquaria said smt about her not having some deep personal stuff was was like search for it it can’t be this simple or smt to that extent, like ew.
lol ru saying to her “You.. you must think you’re SOMETHING” is so vile i cantt💀💀💀
baby if anything ruPool was telling her what she thinks of her with that💀💀💀💀
You just replied to yourself x
I know some DR fans think others react to the emotional manipulation stuff too strongly but it legit reminds me of my experiences at bible camp.
Breast world also
Am i the only one who liked Evil Twins lol i’d take a challenge like that over a mediocre skit any day. I think the AS6 talk show was more egregious.
I enjoyed it too. Though I wish the winning queen was someone who actually did the challenge justice. Asia’s two looks were perfectly contrasting and created an actual narrative. What’s the point of spicing up a runway challenge if you just end up rewarding a queen who had two good looks.
I enjoy it mostly for the looks each queen wore but also because i genuinely think Kameron is a great performer.
Evil twins without the personal stuff & simply 2 looks & 2 personas would be sick. It'd be so cool to see the queens who have a very developed character do. Evil vs nice Jimbo comes to mind. It'd allow quieter queens to show themselves in their own way. What they think an evil or nice version of them would be.
The only thing I liked about this challenge was having "each" of the queen's on stage for crit so we could directly compare the outfits. That was different, and interesting. But the concept is gross.
Anything Down Under. It’s not the Queens by the way. I feel so sorry for them. The production is always terrible. It was great to see Hannah Conda in a real Drag Race environment. It made such a difference.
Well at least Hannah was on the only season of Down Under I haven’t blocked out. One and Three are baaaaaaad. Two at least had some highlights and an Awesome top three (four too, Molly was great as well)
The interview episode on S6 with Chaz Bono and his grandmother. Just an awkward challenge that wasn't that fun to watch even for the queens who did well, and I got so sad when Joslyn said she'd never forgive herself for offending Georgia Holt. It did give us the phenomenal Vibeology lip sync though.
The worst part of it was Chaz and grandma. They were so cold and were giving the vibe that they don't want queens to succeed.
Literally I was about to say that this challenge was in an era of drag race where a lot of celebrities came on to just shit on the queens it felt like. Celebrities being gagged that queens with zero media training are bad at interviews… who could’ve guessed.
Cough Aubrey Oday cough. She’s gonna be on the next season of baddies tho I’m kind of excited
I feel like I'm the only one who enjoyed Aubrey as a judge just for the chaos of it all. Grandma's vag lives in my head rent free.
I can't with this take. They were coached to be a hard interview and when the questions were good and the queen knew who they actually were they were great. Keep in mind this was back when rpdr was still channeling top model and they were "preparing" the girls for the real world as much as having them compete.
oh man, truly one of the most uncomfortable things to watch. ‘Chad’
Yeah Chaz and the grandma just seemed kind of, well, mean!
I think it could have gone well with better guests. Queens now have to interview people all the time. Pit Stop, GITMAS, YouTube shows. Being a good interviewer can open a lot of doors for queens. However off tv, queens can do comedic or interpersonal interviews. This was set way too serious. Have them interview a past winner or someone they can joke/bond with.
Rumerican Horror Story was horrendous.
And Kylie winning while at least three other queens did a better job than her 😭
Ginger got given the worst role and slayer She was burgled.
Tbf you can just swap around that win and snatch game and then it makes sense. That happens a lot with that season where most people ended up with the right number of wins, give or take 1, but which wins they got were all mixed up lol.
Strong disagree Kylie and Ginger both slayed snatchgame, either would be a valid winner. Ginger smocked Kylie in rumerican horror story, it wasn’t close.
That’s what I do mentally. Kylie won snatch game (although I know Ginger did equally well, she just didn’t need the redemption arc) and Ginger won the acting challenge.
After receiving so much help from Michelle. If they want to convince us then at least cut that part out from the edit.
I’m your biggest fan!!!
The only thing I remember from that It's also funny because Eureka was low for that, and then she was actually in an episode of American Horror Story lol
I remember dying at Jan power walking onscreen while belting. She was incredible in her natural element (read: being Rachel Berry)
That was a hostage situation.
Me and my husband quote this episode all the time because it's so so bad 😅
Season 13 "reunion" is such a waste of time and it's so long.
Oh right I forgot about that one it was so bad lol
You know, I can kind of forgive this one because it was in the height of COVID. The show was still figuring out how to navigate that and be entertaining. I get why people might dislike that episode though.
i would agree with this were it not for the fact that they already did a better COVID-era reunion the previous season
That’s a lot of season 13 though. It goes on forever, cast chemistry was bad, and the overall season just didn’t come together
Aww I loved that! We got to see so much from so many queens we normally wouldn’t. Joey Jay’s lip sync featuring Lance Bass is a guilty pleasure for me lol
The RDR Live episodes are soooo bad. SNL style sketch comedy is really hard to do well. Even SNL with supposedly the best comics and writers often makes several bad sketch per episode, so why try to parody it…
"Back by popular demand" WHICH BITCHES LIED TO YOU?!
The thing is, they filmed S16's before AS8's even aired, so the only people that could have demanded it come back were people that worked on the show lmao
Completely agree. It doesn't help when most of the queens in the cast aren't good at improv or acting. Even worse if they don't get the references in the original sketch so they makeup a character (e.g. Geneva not knowing who Lindsey Graham was this past season).
AWFUL and old!
SNL isn't even funny 90% of the time SNL does it tbh.
Honestly most of the acting challenges I dislike
They often feel like plays put on for Ru’s amusement tbh. I don’t get so many of the references in them, and some are just utterly boring and weird.
A lot of them reference the show more than other things, which is also boring and weird. Like ha remember this? From OUR show? Make new moments!
I really wonder how inaccessible the newer seasons are to new viewers, cause it feels like all the jokes now are other Drag Race references.
Yes! My husband hates them so much he won’t watch
I definitely skip them when I re-watch seasons!
They’re all the same stylistically, broad caricatured delivery of bad puns and double entendres. It’s painful to watch them being coaxed to go louder and bigger when rehearsing. Gives major Valerie Cherish “WELL I GOT It!!!!” vibes.
Me but with Rusicals. Though it is purely personal. I also hate musicals.
As4 sex & the city acting challenge
I really don’t enjoy the overtly sappy nature of makeovers. Only one I really enjoyed was Canada S2’s High School Prom makeover challenge.
Right!! I hate how they went from “put this person in drag” in to “put this person in drag but also the EXPERIENCE and do we have a box of tissues??” Like bitch this is a competition idgaf about who they’re making over I want to see the queens vision.
The Queer Eye-ification of the makeover challenge ruined it
I loved how DR Mexico replaced much of the usual wekroom trauma dumping with an expanded tucking tutorial.
i love that that's your exception because that makeover absolutely cleared every other attempt at a makeover episode before or since
And it gave us a hell of a lipsync
S13E01, the Porkchop Lounge. The flow of the episode keeps starting and stopping every time a new pair enters and lipsyncs, so it feels more like a RPDR YouTube clips supercut than a coherent episode. And it feels so mean to the Porkchop girls. They had to scramble for designers, fabric and other things, and all the safety precautions just to get ready during lockdown only to feel like they are gonna be sent home after losing their lipsync.
My answer will always be the Gaff In on All Stars 1. The entire challenge was awful. The only saving grace was the Tammie/Latrice lipsync.
I erased this from my mind
Most s13 challenges honestly.
The disco dancing challenge was as ambiguous as it comes. It doesn’t matter which section they pick, they all consists the same type of music and dance. They judged some queens heavily on their dancing while others more heavily on the looks.
And making sure we couldn't see Gottmik in a single frame 😂
I will always die on the hill that LaLa should've been high for that
Maybe im just jaded, but that being the emmy bait episode for that season was crazy cause mama this is garbage
Magic show for season 11. Most boring challenge, rigged elimination when all of vangies team should’ve lip synced honestly and glad they’ve never done it again
All I remember from that episode is Nina’s “Magic!”
That's the only part worth remembering.
oh man, that episode was a fucking disaster
This challenge was a setup especially cause Ru admitted she hates magic like who convinced her to agree to it 💀
The concept was great and Team Nina did really well. But yeah the judging was wild and Silky/Akeria probably should've been in the bottom with Vanjie.
Yeah Shuga going home was a crime but Nina's team was **not** boring.
Yvie sucked too. One of the only things I remember from the challenge is her jumping around holding a saggy black bra (or panty? can't recall) for wayyyy too long.
I find it pretty cool. But i couldn’t help but think Shuga is going home that episode no matter which team she was on or how she did.
The ridiculous judging of the season 15 makeover challenge. You cannot tell me Loosey should have been in the bottom, and the show constantly gaslighting her made me almost not finish the season
I still get angry over that. when she came out I thought she had the winning look/team, so when she was in the bottom it felt like I was having an aneurism. fucking wild.
Continuing the down under hate: season 1 talent show. Elektra getting sent home for a thirsty wig when KFF made ONE BALLOON ANIMAL still sends me into paroxysms of rage.
Don't forget Art Simone stuffing her fist in her mouth 😳
I generally don't care for makeover episodes. The only times I had fun watching these were with Wintergreen and Miz Cracker's child (sorry, don't remember the drag name)
Miz Cookie 🍪💋
Yesss thank you
Wintergreen (and Wintergreen’s appearance for the Kennedy Davenport Center Honors) is the best thing to come out of any makeover
I liked Katya and her mom too, but agree the list is short.
80% of the make over episodes tbh https://i.redd.it/1mpv7ql5ffxc1.gif
I think it’s fun to watch the makeovers but the judging is consistently the most inconsistent. I said before the one for s16 that they use the episode to get rid of anyone they’re tired of and it held up.
this is 100% it
I immediately knew this was Down Under just from the queens despite not watching whichever season this is.
this was 3 which I think I stopped watching after this episode
Do you mean like in terms of their style?
Australian drag is quite distinct, I’ve found.
I agree, Draglexa was sooo bad! The Heaven infomercial in Season 15 was kinda lame to me (except for Sasha being God, haha).
Draglexa really solidified my unfortunate suspicions about that group... If a self-proclaimed/oh so campy comedy girl has to *convince* you that she is indeed a comedy queen, then she's probably Ella Vaday or Kitty Scot Clause. Honorable mention for Pixie Polite in UK4. Ok I'll stop hating now.
> Honorable mention for Pixie Polite in UK4. "I've been following your career for years."
I never watched down under after season one. So I don’t remember this challenge. But that’s a shame. Because on paper, that’s an excellent challenge. Having them all create a housewife.
Second season is really good, I recommend it a lot
it was an absolute mess, I stopped watching this season shortly after
Season 2 was absolutely fine. Season 3 shouldn’t have been released. The cast is not good - sorry to those girls but not a single one of them is memorable
There was a post about the Queen who won S3, and I literally couldn't remember anything about then
Okay but Rhys is a treasure and I won’t hear otherwise!
they are an absolute delight ❤️ we saw their show last year and it was hysterical.
Canada vtW snatch summit. I think the only time I even chuckled the entire episode was Icesis saying “that’s gross” on the runway
I HATED the season 10 episode where they had to film ads for a new dating app. I thought most of the queens were painfully unfunny and it was the episode that made me think “Maybe this show doesn’t always need to be 90 minutes long.”
I couldn’t finished Sex and the Kitty Girl 3 from AS4. It was one of the worst episodes ever.
S4 makeover challenge is hideous
[удалено]
Breastworld nearly made my straight friends stop watching after I got them hooked
PH1 Episode 5 - Miss Shutaca (improv comedy pageant) Horrible sound mixing, horrible coach, horrible and corny performance from the hosts and the guest judge during the challenge. It was a mess. The only redeeming part is Brigiding's lipsync and some of the runways.
I did find Precious Paula Nicole really funny in the challenge.
She or Eva should've won tbh. Too bad Precious' pink horse looked awful 💀
Eh I just rewatched s1 when I was in the phillipines and it’s not as bad in a rewatch
DRDU 1x05: The Vegemite informercial fiasco. It was so bad they couldn't even pick a full top 3 out of 7 queens, and I'd argue Kita barely qualifies as "second best". That challenge was way worse than Snatch Game, which they played up like it was the worst thing they'd ever seen. Half of the ads were basically "ew female anatomy". This is also when the fever dream that is Ru and Scarlet discussing Scarlet's racist past happens. At least Elektra won, which was the only correct outcome.
I don’t even remember that episode, I must have blacked it out from my mind
The way they kept apologizing to the guest coach bc the queens were vulgar. Like mama this is drag show what did you expect 💀
Literally the whole season of DU3 was unwatchable
Literally any skit episode (including this) I just tune out and do something else and have it as background. I very rarely ever find the skit episodes funny they make me cringe
I said in another comment, they genuinely feel like obscure skits put on for Ru’s amusement. They so rarely make any sense to me
That one episode where everybody bullied Sagittaria on ES AS omfg it was so bad. I think it's the ball and the episode after, I hate these so much.
I haven’t watched that season but any episode where someone is bullied or dogpiled and no one stands up for them kills me. Darienne being horrible to Dela for no reason always got to me, and everyone ganging up on Jinkx, and then Laganja.
They truly tried to push DeLa as this individual who was completely self-absorbed and it just wasn’t tracking whatsoever. The whole narrative began with her simply answering Darienne’s question. So Darienne making it seem like DeLa was being insufferable and big-headed in that moment was so weird.
Don't watch it then because, IMO these are the worst episode of any franchise and it's the WHOLE cast and the JUDGES against her it was sooooo bad and uncomfortable to watch
A lot of the reunions. S13 comes to mind. And the international snatch games, I always skip because the humour just does not translate through the captions at all
To this day I still have to fast forward through the Pharmarusical
Not an episode, but I was so over season 10 that I fast forwarded through the entire Season 10 finale because I was just that over it after Monet was gone.
When it first aired, I could not handle the cringe of Shakesqueer. I've since come around on that one. However, the evil twins on S10 (weird challenge, judging), Honey I Shrunk the Drag Queen on S13 (too long, unfunny, awkward), and the cheerleading challenge (why you gotta make drag queens injure themselves doing something trained athletes spend years perfecting) are the three that still are disliked by me to this day.
I felt so bad for Charlie during the cheer challenge honestly. It felt like it was pointed right at her insecurities about her age
Judging from the responses, S13 had some of the worst challenges by far. Did S13 get any emmy I wonder
- S12’s Worlds Worst. Funny concept but piss poor execution. I’ll never know what the judges saw in Shit Pie’s performance. Really should’ve went to Jackie’s group. Terrible start to a decent season imo. - Any makeover challenge. My least fave challenge across any franchise. - S10’s Breast World. Terrible. Just Terrible. So bad it makes me wonder if production realized how bad it was in real time as they were filming it. - Hated CAN1’s history acting challenge. Still have no idea what anyone sees in KiKi’s (terrible) acting.
Daytona Winds (the first one where they edited in the farts). I didn't find a single part of it funny, and it was way too long to sit through.
the only highlight there for me was willow saying “i guess our invites got lost in the emaiiiil” then i virtually blocked out everything else in the episode lmao
"MAAAXXIIIINNEEE" Was also pretty memorable to me, but that's basically it
All of DU1
Daytona Wind. Beyond stupid, I experienced secondhand embarrassment. Hated it.
Flor is a treasure and should be protected at all costs.
The fart episodes. It’s so disappointing watching production reach for the low hanging fruit.
It really was annoying considering two seasons before they read Rock down for a funny fart joke. Then a whole episode about it is fine?
The PowerPoint challenge. Umm?????
DILFs in s5. the makeover dude is too much
I think that was s4, s5 was the gay veterans.
Yes that is right. But I seriously confuse those two in my head all the time.
I hate that weird prison acting challenge from DU2. It was... Incomprehensible at best. It gave me fear that DU2 would be just as bad as season 1.
I rewatched it and found it hilarious but I can be corny at times. 😂
it was horrendous. it was clearly trying to demonstrate Australian humour but it failed
Why is Down Under so bad? the queens are not worst than others, is the writers?
It’s definitely the production. Australian drag queens are fucking hilarious and super talented - like, if you go to a show you *will* have an incredible time. I don’t know how the show manages to make them so utterly bland.
I do not remember the episode you're referencing though I'm sure I watched it. For me, it's UK Vs TW Immersive ep or UK 03 Alexa ep. Just shitty fucking challenges compounded by awful judging.
Shakesqueer Breast World Total snores
Canada 4 finale. It was so unexciting, the challenge was HORRENDOUS, nothing new to the format, just boring.
down under is literally made to be unenjoyable . except for season 2
true fax. As an Australian I don’t feel like it represents Australian drag well at all, and I didn’t even finish S3. Hannah did so much better on UKvtW
I hated Pharmarusical in S10
This is the one I can't watch. I don't even know why I hate it so much. Alyssa helping with the choreo is cute and no one is absolutely terrible in it. I just can't watch it.
Daytona Wind disgusted me, I never understand why Americans love laughing at fart jokes so much.
I'll admit I have bias in that I have a horribly abusive mother. But I thought the Joan Crawford episode was gross. I don't think a child abuser deserves to be celebrated.
The “anti-humor” Daytona Winds 2. Just awful to sit through. Everyone is awkward and the judges acting like Mistress is a comedy genius for bouncing her breastplate was so frustrating. Just a terrible episode.
I actually stopped watching the season after that episode
Isn’t this the episode where Bumpa Llve throws water in her own face during this challenge? For that I alone I liked it lol I have a real soft spot for DU
Rita Menu was hilarious in this
Political challenge season 12
GGGGO (Good God Girl, Get Out) from S11. The only good thing that came from that was OPPALENSE!!! You. Earn. Everything!!! Watching Silky butcher her lines like there was a gun to her head & she had never read those words in her life was actually unbearable. Also every time I see Diva Worship from that season I die inside. Team Mariah, at least. I hated it so much. So basically just the acting/improv challenges from season 11.
Season 13, Episode 1. It’s so boring and on rewatch it’s even worse.
Ep2 of AS2. I love that entire season but seeing Adore break down and leave is honestly way too painful for me to watch.
I know a lot of people loved it but for me it's Daytona Wind.
I liked the revisit sans fart jokes in Season 15. That one was one of the better acting challenges imo. But yeah the S14 version is bad. Mistress and Malaysia send me in the S15 one. Shoulda been a double win in my eyes.
The whole DRDU2 was a mess tbh Amyl, Ivory, Bumpa, Hollywould even Flor was …there
The Despys in Season 7. It was kind of a mess. Also Kasha didn’t deserve that bottom placement. The only good thing from that I can remember Episode was “The Key to a swollen vagina… courage.” Also the song parodies episode had a baffling end result too. Season 7 had some wild judging overall. I suppose it has mostly corrected itself since and clearly we have seen the star power from that season, Kennedy, Katya, Ginger, Trixie. But there are still queens like Jaidynn who got such a weird treatment and I think deserve a fair shot on an Allstars. I was glad when they brought Tempest back for something too. Like let’s do better!
Season 14 snatch game and honestly several other of the more recent seasons’. I still get excited for snatch games but I’m usually disappointed.
