RuPauls Drag Race - any fans on mumsnet?

[Dolly80]

Just wondered if anyone else watches Rupauls Drag Race? I'm currently watching Season 9 on Netflix, having rewatched the previous 8 seasons too many times to admit!

(I may also be guilty of searching too many RPDR videos on YouTube; Untucked, Fashion Photo Review & Pit Stop)

Ha ha, you're not alone. This is one of my tv guilty pleasures too. At the moment it's on every night on some very obscure channel and I have it on series link the shame

No shame Poppy. It could be worse, you could find yourself randomly humming Rupaul songs whilst doing the housework...not that I do that of course

Just discovered it this week as Sara Pascoe was talking about it on guilty feminist podcast. Brilliant guilty pleasure viewing.

Oh, I love it too! I hadn't realised Untucked was available on YouTube, so I'll search it out, thanks. All time favourites? It would've been Sharon Needles but I think she's got very plastic since she won. I think Alaska is one of the best who's ever been on the show and I loved Katya & Bianca too.

My 14 year old daughter loves it but I makes me cringe as I really don't like drag. I made a right twit.of me self though when dd was watching it with her boyfriend; I was walking past them on the sofa and I stopped awhile to watch a bit. "when do they get in the cars?" says me to incredulous silence and then laughter x10000

I bloody love it. Jinkx Monsoon (who won the last series I've watched) went on tour with her 'Grey Gardens' show last autumn...it was fabulous, darling!

Reading - some of the episodes of untucked are better than the actual episodes. Some great arguments between the queens.

Bianca is one of my faves, I like Raja too, I used to watch when he was a make up artist on Americas Next Top Model so enjoyed seeing another side to him in season 3.

Another good youtube video to find is drag queens reading mean comments - their comebacks are hilarious. And if you have Netflix watch season 9, it's been a good one so far.

I loved Bianca too. I love the fact the whole format of the show is basically ANTM but with funnier tasks and considerably wittier comebacks from the contestants.

I lurve this!! Am annoyed season 9 is coming one episode at a time! I also didn't realise Untucked is on YouTube, so exciting!!

Thanks for the info Dolly, I'll be youtubing furiously tonight! I've been a wee bit disappointed by season 9 so far - I only like Valentina and Sasha (not sure I've got the right names - the stunningly beautiful one & the bald avant garde one.)Though Peppermint's lip sync was amazing a few weeks ago.

I am addicted to this show! I've watched all of them far too many times and like you watch the YouTube shows too. My kids even know some Rupaul songs as I find myself singing them. I also confess to enjoying Alaskas music! All time favourite has got to be Jinkx

Will anyone else admit to having watched Hurricane Bianca on Netflix? Or just me?

Me! I've also watched Paris is burning and Mommie Dearest because of the references made on the show. My Netflix thinks I'm gay now and makes some interesting recommendations

Oh my goodness, Drag Race was the cultural highlight of 2016 for me. I devoured all the seasons on Netflix and got completely obsessed. Jumped for joy when they announced they'd be airing season 9 the day after it aired in the States

I too have watched Hurricane Bianca. Keep meaning to watch Paris Is Burning as well.

There's also a wealth of stuff on YouTube. The WOWPresents channel has more stuff than I have time to watch. Willam's "Beatdown" is funny too.

I've just started season 9. My all time favourite is Alyssa Edwards. When I've finished this I'm going to watch the Allstars.

Just started watching this, watched season 7 so far, I love it.

It's my fav program!! Alaska and Bianca are my favs. Didn't know about untucked either I will have a look for it!

I have a Bianca t shirt. It's far too big but I ordered it from the US so I couldn't exchange it. I also bumped into a woman wearing a Trixie t shirt in the cafe at John Lewis Westfield Stratford. She had a toddler with her, so if you're a Mumsnetter, hey! I nearly struck up a conversation with you.

Trixie released a country album the other week. I can't stand country music but it's pretty good!

I thought Paris is Burning was fantastic, if terribly sad.
I haven't dipped into any of music yet, but I could be tempted!

I'd been meaning to watch this show for absolute time, then this week I've been off work as toddler had a sickness bug, and I caught it from him as he got better.
So I've done very little for the past five days but watch the Drag Race... I've just now finished season 5 - that's a season a day

Now I'm off to start season 6

Oh you lucky thing, season six is the BEST.

I have found my people. As Rupaul would say...we are all family!

Season 9 has been drama. No spoilers but, there's been some highs and lows. My favourite is probably Sasha.

I've just got in from a night out and am watching the first episode of season two, I'm already loving how civil they are to one another as they enter the work room!

I love Drag Race! I'm so pleased that S9 is out on Netflix at the same time as the U.S. I think S6 was my favourite season of all. Has anyone watched the All Stars seasons?

I have a RuPaul playlist on my Spotify account that I play when I'm doing the housework, Cover Girl is brilliant for hoovering along to!

All Stars 2 is great, lots of drama. I liked a lot of the queens on it.

I haven't seen all of All Stars 1. I have watched some of the LSFYL's though and one of them is fantastic / dramatic (don't want to say much more as it could be a spoiler).

It's a shame All stars isn't on Netflix. I have watched both when they where on Tru TV but not sure if they get repeated. Would love to watch All Stars 2 again
