RuPaul Gossip

Tonight is the grand finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4. Let’s talk winners. The final challenge this episode is like the end of every Drag Race season: it looks like the queens will have to add their own verse to RuPaul’s song, "Super Queen", with the help of Todrick Hall, and then dance to it. Full Story

The latest episode of All Stars 4 was certainly something. The challenge was a HUGE step up from previous weeks. Not only did the queens have to come up with a themed club night, decide on décor, music, entertainment, and a signature cocktail, they also had to build the sets themselves!

Everybody knows that there’s going to be a twist on All Stars, but I was still gagged by the end of last week’s episode. In my last article, I presented a few possibilities on what I thought the big twist was going to be. Full Story

“For the first time in Drag Race Herstory, All Star rules are suspended.” RuPaul dropped that bomb on us last week when he previewed clips of tonight’s episode. I can’t wait, especially because the drag roast is one of my favourite challenges. But what do we think the twist is going to be?  Ru has a bag of common tricks that he likes to pull for every season. Full Story

Three episodes into this season and Drag Race hasn’t disappointed one bit. I have so much to say about the last three weeks, but unfortunately Lainey won’t let me turn Lainey Gossip into a 24/7 RPDR newsfeed. When I first wrote my primer for season four of All Stars Full Story
