S12, Episode 1 - "I'm That Bitch"
 

Might as well do discussion threads for each episode now there's a subforum and it was kinda successful on here during DRUK.

When do we get it? like early hours of the morning?

I think it's like 9AM or so, I'd guess. It's always up by the time I wake up.

I read somewhere that this series has a s6 type first 2 eps where its half the queens each ep except no one goes home until ep 3

Excited! :amazed:

I don't mind a 2 part premiere if that is the case, but surely it isn't really necessary for a season that doesn't have as many queens. We could've done with that last season to get a better intro to 15 of them. Also not sure why they chose to do it in a season with an odd number of queens but oh well

I'm actually excited for the season to start since we haven't just been watching All Stars like the last few seasons

And we did it for S11 anyway :tongue:


I haven’t watched any of the Meet The Queens or anything so I’m going into this pretty blind, hopefully it’s a good series and a step up from last year

s11 really was a **** stain on the series as a whole

I like to forget it ever happened

I've been very casually rewatching it on Netflix but it's taking me like a fortnight break between episodes just to recover from the shenanigans. God I hated Yvie sfm.

:skull: Yvie was the definition of playing the victim, she was always the one to light the fire and complain when she got burned..

I cant even remember the first half of the cast but the later half weren't exactly great.. Akeria was the only one who stood out to me and even she flopped in the finale

I loved S11 :skull:

Same, I like to be surprised when I first see them!

I remember finding that one queen in s11 who had the big glasses a scream when everyone else hated her

Ra'Jah <3 one of the few saving graces in the rewatch, so childish and brutal :love:

she just dragged everyone each week :skull: but NEVER lied!

I thought she was a scream :joker:

"I'm not gagging. I mean I'm gagging from, like... the smell. Like... bitch, do you bathe?"

is iconic

:skull: the season peaked at this moment

So excited.

I don't remember where I recently read the info of Ross saying it's one of the best season yet. Or maybe he says that every year to get viewers in. If he said that last year about s11 then he's a liar :skull:

A'keria was robbed :(

A'Keria was the best of the top 4, but in comparison to the other top agent queens I don't love her as much as like Kennedy, ChiChi, Trinity or Asia so I wouldn't have wanted her to be the first southern pageant winner

I’m not as excited as usual :(

I think it’s because S11 was really NOT good, and it still feels like DRUK has only just finished. Obviously I shall be watching as always though!

I've only seen this so far but this is a pretty damn impressive way to open a season. The split opening is confirmed, then:

Widow did THAT. Nicky, Gigi and Brita were also all good, and Heidi's acrobatics put her above the bottom two of Jackie and Crystal imo :think: but I haven't seen any other clips so idk what happens.

Widow Von'Did the damn thing!

Nicky rolling her eyes at the American pronunciation of hummus :love:

Also, why did nobody tell me that the fake Kanye in the mini challenge was Mayhem Miller?!

...I’m looking forward to watching this later, I’ve tried not to look at who the gals are so much so that I don’t have any preconceptions...they’ll all be that bitch to me...:love:..

Watch Widow being called out for looking messy later on. She gives me Monique Heart vibes in the fashion area, so we'll see. But she's such a great performer!
Gigi came out of nowhere this week, from 21 years old insta queen to lip sync killer. I gotta to admit I liked her lipsync a little more than Widow because it brought something else than the usual deathdrops, splits etc... But both were good!

And of course the girl from my country could not be anything else than a fashion queen and wearing high fashion. Because #france, you know. I really hope she knows how to do other stuff, and let her "european" personality shines over the bigger american ones. We have some good drag queens in France who aren't that much into fashion, so I hope she gets to show that.

Can't wait for next week, I hope the second batch is as good as the first one!

I was really underwhelmed by Gigi the whole ep tbh :eyes: I feel like im missing what others see

Is it supposed to be on Netflix already?

Nevermind, I downloaded it.

Screaming at Jackie's entrance

Gigi has a longer torso than a blue whale

Lylactating :joker:

Ok I was low key scalped by the Ep, Heidi is a scream, Nicky was too saying that the homeless is hiding in Jackies ass.

I thought all the raps were really good too, I can see Widow getting the villain edit of the season already and I don’t think she should have won the lip sync, she just seemed to throw everything she had at it, it’s to OTT

I love the name Heidi N Closet, I am fuming that the judges hate it.

That episode was so good, way more entertaining than the first episode of S11

That episode was better than the entirety of season 11.

I was a bit bummed by the split premiere, but it is such a better way of getting to know the queens with them receiving more screen-time. I think the impatient part of me just wants to see all the queens in action asap.

I came out of the episode liking Nicky, Gigi (her looks are gorgeous), Widow and Heidi the most. I also liked Crystal and Jackie but I want to see more of them until I form a solid opinion. I thought I was going to like Brita but she ended up being quite stank and obnoxious, ngl. .

Nicki was a fab guest judge, and I really loved the lip-sync. Ugh, Drag Race is exactly what I need in my life, right now. I'm so happy it's back.

...Heidi’s Fall style is gorgeous...:love:..and I love GiGi’s styling...:flutter:..
