RPDR Season 13 premieres New Years Day
 

So we will get it on the 2nd? Great!

Assuming Netflix has the rights to it again then yeah

I thought they would of still if they still have the other seasons. BBC I player would be ok too though

Don't think the BBC will ever air the American version what with all the sponsored prizes, etc.

Looking forward to this; I've heard some good things about the few drag queens I can remember being cast... and I think there's a queen who will be the trade of all trades (Kameron, Pearl, Milk, Vixen found rotting)

Yeah I aldo read something about THE trade of all trades that will make Twitter gays VERY thirsty.
Good way to start the year, and I suppose we'll get RPDR UK 2 airing in parralel for some time too.

needed

Spoilers for anyone who's curious (idk how well she does)

meh ive had hotter

(leaked trailer, what leaked trailer?)

oh bitch! jadia looks SO GOOD!

Meet the Queens coming in half an hour

Yeah that's him. Nothing outstanding but definitely not ugly to look at.
Top 3 of trades of the season :laugh:

On that topic, some recent pics of shirtless Jackie Cox are worth a look. Just saying. lmao

c'mon less than an hour's notice!

i missed the start so I'll watch it when the stream is finished (if we are afforded that luxury)

ok it's all up now:

First thoughts:

Denali - Like her a lot, seems funny and quick-witted and looks great.
Elliott With 2 Ts - silly drag name, seems to find herself hilarious. At least someone does :) (i'm not writing her off but still)
Gottmik - I've heard about him a lot, followed him a couple of years ago. He's exciting.
Joey Jay - already anticipating Michelle calling her out for the lack of wigs. She makes me sound straight. COULD... be annoying. But... hawt.
Kahmora Hall - she seems fun. I'm not sure about her... in terms of how well she'll do. But she seems like she'll be good TV.
Kandy Muse - I like her a lot, already knew about her bc of the Aja connection. Hope the producers don't force her voice too much a la Vanjie but I'm a fan.
Lala Ri - why am I getting black Jennifer Coolidge from her? :skull: I like her a lot.
Olivia Lux - Seems really fun, I can see her going far.
Rose - cba to find the accent above the E. Seems very confident. Unsure what to make of her tbh... but the look is jarring to me. Also good-looking out of drag!
Symone - the one I'm most excited about. Looks stunning, is naturally engaging (she honestly reminds me of Dominique Jackson in Pose), and... just everything I like in a drag queen. She had me at "y'ain't worthy".
Tamisha Iman - hopefully some good drama? We stan an Atlanta ball queen. Not sure about the decision not to wear a necklace to cover the visible breastplate line though :eyes:
Tina Burner - someone who's been talked about a lot for years; already a big name in drag. I really enjoy listening to her, she's just got *it*.
Utica - I'll avoid the easy comparisons (Thorgy/Crystal/Yvie) because she does genuinely seem unique. I'm intrigued by her, but also tentative because she could be annoying.

Once you get past the "I should be America's next drag superstar because...Look at this" moment we have every year, this cast is giving me S11 vibes and that doesn't look too good for me.

I heard of Tina Burner before and tbh she looks like she's the redemption version of Sherry Pie since they seem to be in the same drag category. I'm rooting for her right now, she's not about the bs and we finally need another comedy queen to win.

Utica is an interesting choice, I can see her having a Ma'Ma Queen kind of journey where she has some crazy fashion taste and does unexpected things like comedy or something.

Rosé is a strong contender too. I liked the shade towards Jan and she seems like a good time to be around.

Kandy Muse seems to be a mix of Silky and Vanjie and I need more time to digest this :joker:

I don't remember much about the others already. It's the same "I'm that bitch" thing that is not sticking with me.
But we always love delusional queens, and some of them are already eliminated so it's always cringe to know some of them are still shooting the "I'm gonna win" segment while already being eliminated :joker:

PS on Joey Jay: will probably get cut early on but at least we would have enjoyed her confessionnals in her boy look. Hot cute thing to look at :laugh:

Elliott With 2 Ts is... the worst drag name ever to appear on the show, right? Worse than Dax ExclamationPoint? Worse than Kalorie Karbdashian-Williams? like, "Elliott Puckett" is at least charming-in-a-Roald-Dahl-character-sort-of-way

(anyway yes my favourites so far are Kandy, Symone, Olivia, LaLa, Rosé, Utica and Tamisha)

Interested by the female to male trans drag queen

Was this filmed before or during COVID?

it was filmed July/August-ish, so during the pandemic (apparently they've made the werk room larger to incorporate social distancing, added glass panels between the judges, and replaced the usual guest judges shtick with a small rotating group of recurring guest judges)

I figured they would've done something similar to the Drag Race Holland judges panel with recurring guest judges (given DRH was also filmed in the middle of the pandemic).

Symone and Utica are my favs, but also looking out for Rosé, Gottmik, and Olivia! Seems like a really interesting cast, and looking forward to when it airs!

...I haven’t watched the whole video introduction of them yet...maybe around half way through...but I’m liking all of them...:love:...Denali is wonderfully gorgeous and such a great name, I’m really looking forward to seeing her styles...:lovedup:... Elliott With 2 Ts, maybe not so great a name...I think that her laughter seemed a bit nervous laughter and hopefully she’ll settle in her confidence and isn’t sashayed away too early...anyways, all lovely queens, about to sparkle and shine...:flutter:...

Sounds like they might be cutting half the cast in the first episode? I assume there's more to it than that but if that's the case then what a ****ing waste.

They'll probably tease something to that effect and it'll end up being something silly like "the 6 winners of the lipsyncs get immunity from the next challenge" or "they form a team for the next challenge". Or it's just literally for a prize and to amp up the competition. They aren't culling 6 queens in episode one, lol; there haven't been any others rumoured to be on. Plus with 13 of them, this presumably means that one is either the winner of the challenge, or the person eliminated.

6 lipsyncs meaning there are is either a three way lipsync, or the winner of the maxi challenge doesn't lipsync.
Either way, the winners are either safe next week, or the losers battle it out in a second lipsync to send someone home. Idk, but it's not about cutting half of them (though that would have been nice in S11, not going to lie :joker:)

And Michelle wearing green is another proof that 2020 made everything possible.

I've only just become aware that Gottmik is trans... am I right in thinking that he's the first trans male contestant of Drag Race? (Obviously there have been plenty of trans women) I was aware of him a few years ago because he did a video with Willam, but I assumed they were female at the time. My bad.

I'm also just learning that there may have been a disqualified 14th queen? Idfk what to believe.

Yes Shaun, Gottmik is the first trans male on the show.

I heard there was too and she got disqualified just before entering the Werk Room apparently.

...so they have to lipsync to earn their place in the race and some will go home immediately from their werk room entry...?...ughhhhh, that’s so brutal and horrid...

...the new season was meant to air yesterday but it’s still not showing on Netflix..?..

It'll be uploaded to Netflix some time today, I'd imagine around midday. Not sure of specific times

...thank you, Shaun...:love:...I thought that it was just me and I wasn’t looking in the right place but I’ll catch it later...

8am it usually goes up

The white queens getting shafted :skull:

Sucks to be white in this world.
