Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Trixie Mattel recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s eighth episode, reigning champion and Mother of season 15 Sasha Colby makes her recap debut to break down this season’s “Snatch Game” performances. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of the episode, Sasha and Trixie have fun addressing the “unsolicited shade” of this season and how even when Plane Jane calls anyone “sister” feels like subtle shade as well. Sasha gives Jane some defense by admitting that as drag queens they all “just have a crippling desire for people to love us” and Jane is no different. When it came to the reading challenge of her season, Sasha was impressed by Loosey Laduca and Malaysia Babydoll Foxx; this season the standouts for her were Jane and Xunami Muse.

Each season on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” there’s a big song and dance group number that showcases the queens performance abilities. Dubbed the “rusical” — an amalgamation of RuPaul and musical — it’s the chance for each of the competitors to show off their acting, dancing and lip-syncing skills.
For the competition series’ milestone Season 15, the rusical was “Wigloose,” inspired by the 1984 Kevin Bacon classic “Footloose.” The number starred the top six queens: Anetra, Loosey Laduca, Luxx Noir London, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Salina EsTitties and Sasha Colby. “Wigloose” is set in the fictional small town of West Bumtuck, where a local teacher (Brooks) seeks to outlaw drag. The local youth protest the law by holding a secret drag ball. In the end, the teacher is reminded by her old friend (Anetra) and husband (Colby) about the power of drag, and the law is overturned.

We've made it, Drag Race fans! The crown has been snatched, the confetti has fallen, and our jaws have dropped.
America has found its next drag superstar on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 Episode 16.
This was a tight race to the finish, possibly one of the tightest in Drag Race herstory. But there was no doubt that your favorite drag queen's favorite drag queen wasn't claiming another big win and leaving her mark in herstory.
The crowning episode is typically a night of celebration. Everything from the lip-syncs to the interviews to the cheesy segments is about making it a glitzy night to celebrate drag.
"Grand Finale" was no exception!
And I'd be remiss not to talk about how empowering the grand finale was for drag queens and the 2Slgbtq+ community as a whole.
It's been a tough year for drag queens, especially due to all the hurtful debates and discriminatory legislation targeting them.

At the end of episode 13 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 on March 24, Loosey Laduca and Luxx Noir London fought for their chance to advance to the final four in a Lip Sync for Your Life to “For the Girls” by guest judge Hayley Kiyoko. It was Loosey’s second straight trip to the bottom and Luxx’s first time placing in the bottom two and though they both exuded confidence going into battle, only one came out on top. Ultimately, the judges decided that it was Loosey’s time to go and that Luxx would be the queen to remain.
We asked in a recent poll if Loosey was the right queen to leave and in a turn-around from last week when a majority of fans thought Loosey should have went home instead of Salina EsTitties, this time Loosey fared better.

Following Friday’s thirteenth episode, Naomi Smalls returns to the recap show as a two-time makeover challenge winner herself. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 13, both Naomi and Bianca say that they expected one of the twins to make the top five instead of the five that actually made it to this episode. Naomi said that Sugar is great at comedic timing, but Spice is more polished in her looks and so either could have been the one to make it this far. Like other queens before her, Naomi also took offense to queens like Luxx Noir London and Loosey Laduca being so pressed about their placements, especially Loosey trying to count mini challenge wins in her record.

As part of season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the drag queens put on a stunning show of Wigloose: The Rusical about the queens overcoming a small town that tries to ban drag. The musical theater challenge was inspired by Kevin Bacon‘s Footloose, which he loved.
On his Instagram story, Bacon, 64, posted a link to the episode, writing, “Big shoutout to @rupalsdragrace’s Wigloose: the RuSical (and props to Heaven Bacon [winky face emoji] @looseyladuca). With all the recent anti-drag bills, this came at just the right time. Drag is an art and drag is a right.”

Loosey Laduca, who played the drag version of Bacon’s character, reposted the story, saying, “Well, I’m dead.”
Bacon then reposted a video of RuPaul on March 8 where he called out political maneuvers being similar to bullying.

Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In her conversation with Michelle, Loosey explains where her drag name came from — Loosey was an homage to Lucille Ball and Laduca hints at her Italian heritage, but is also the name of a type of shoe worn in the musical theater scene. She also spoke about how supportive her upbringing was, including her ex-cop, black belt father.

Get your brushes ready, and your wigs snatched. It's time for a makeover!
The lovable makeover Maxi Challenge returned on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 Episode 13 to dish out fabulous looks for some unsung heroes: the teachers.
And in true makeover fashion, some queens captured the family resemblance while others failed to find a connection. Though, it was the strange judging choices that took center stage.
"Teacher Makeovers" was a heartwarming yet slow round for the competition. I'm grateful to have 90-minute episodes again, but with only five queens left, the pacing had a touch more filler this time.
Still, plenty of drama and great chemistry moments with the teachers balanced things out to make it a fun round.
Firstly, the "Spill The T" Mini Challenge brought so much fun and light drama to the Werk Room.
It's always so scandalous whenever the queens are asked their true thoughts about one another.

RuPaul’s Drag Race is all about inside and running jokes that carry over the course of a season. Sometimes, they even carry from one season to the next. On season 15, Mistress Isabelle Brooks admitted to stealing a RuPaul book from the set, thinking that it was only a prop. However, she apologized when she discovered that it was a producer’s personal copy. In true RuPaul fashion, he always has a comeback for everything.

By the end of episode 12 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 on March 17, Salina EsTitties was fighting for her life in a fourth trip to the Lip Sync for Your Life. This time she was pitted against Loosey Laduca, in the bottom for her first time, after both were named by the other queens as the two most deserving of being sent home. Though Salina was sent packing by the judges, a majority of fans think that Loosey should have been eliminated instead.
We asked in a recent poll if Salina was the right queen to leave and in a very close vote, more fans believed that the judges got it wrong rather than right. At the time of this writing, 39% of voters think Loosey should have been given the “sashay away” while 36% think Salina was the correct call.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 drag queen Loosey Laduca fought hard for the lead role in the “Wigloose” Rusical. It parodied the 1984 film Footloose, which longtime viewers praised. The film’s lead star Kevin Bacon was among the audiences watching RuPaul’s Drag Race, but his words held a whole lot of weight for Loosey and the rest of the cast.

It has been said many times that the fan base of Ru Paul’s Drag Race can be extremely toxic to both performers and fellow fans. The annoying number of posts I see in so-called “fan pages” that contain some form of racist/transphobic rhetoric, are purposefully vile towards queens from the show or even end in intense verbal fights between fans is ridiculous when really all I personally want to do is talk to people about how much I love the show! As fans, we also always seem to think that we could (if we wanted to) dominate any season of Drag Race and talk about how we would have done the challenge differently to win. I did exactly this a few episodes ago when talking about how I would have excelled in the interview challenge but personally, I think this week would have been extremely tough! I don...

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s twelfth episode, Laganja Estranja and Bianca start a rumor about a never-aired lip sync between the two of them on season 6, among other things.

In their recap of episode 12, Laganja names Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Luxx Noir London as her two faves of the season, though she likes all of the top six. Bianca liked that for once her guest didn’t name Sasha Colby as her favorite, though admittedly they both are rooting for her. One thing Laganja and Bianca are tired of hearing from the girls is their “in my __ era” tag line that they say has been run in to the ground by this point. On that topic,...

Each week on “Whatcha Packin’,” Michelle Visage interviews the recently eliminated queen and shows us some of the runway looks they didn’t get the chance to use on the show. Following her episode 12 elimination, a “very nervous” Salina EsTitties describes what it was like for her to be in the bottom so often and how she learned to “stop your mind chatter.” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In her conversation with Salina, Michelle gave Salina words of wisdom about how to receive feedback without taking it personally. She explained that as a judge she critiques the queens with the goal of telling them “what would be the best for you.” She told Salina that she “grew exponentially” during her time on the show and she’s proud of her for that.

By the end of episode 12 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 on March 17, Salina EsTitties was fighting for her life in a fourth trip to the Lip Sync for Your Life this season. This time she was pitted against Loosey Laduca, in the bottom for her first time, after both were named by the other queens as the two most deserving of being sent home. Vote in our poll below to tell us if the judges made the right choice in sending Salina home this week.
This week the judges were happy with the performances that all six queens delivered in “Wigloose: The Rusical!” Loosey had set her sights on the starring role of Heaven Bacon during role selection and had to fight Luxx Noir London and Mistress Isabelle Brooks in order to land the role. After the heated argument, Salina comforted Loosey who was feeling triggered by memories of being...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 continued on March 17 with the next step in the competition toward discovering “America’s next drag superstar.” Last week, the queens stood on stage in pairs for a stand up comedy challenge. In keeping with the spirit of iconic duos, both Luxx Noir London and Loosey Laduca were named challenge winners and Marcia Marcia Marcia was asked to “sashay away” following an impressive Lip Sync for Your Life against Anetra.

There are certain Drag Race staples that fans anxiously await every season: Snatch Game, the reading challenge, the Rusical and, of course, the moment RuPaul forces each queen to publicly announce who they would eliminate.
Remember how crushed Miz Cracker was when Asia O’Hara accused her of not being a star? Or when Bianca Del Rio snapped at BenDeLaCreme for insinuating that she was merely “sailing” in the competition? And who could forget Rebecca Glasscock’s iconic answer: “Do we just get to pick one?”

The contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 are confronting anti-drag hate in the show’s latest episode. On Friday, the queens performed in a Wigloose Rusical, a reimagined version of Footloose where a local teacher is attempting to ban drag, as the queens opened up about their fears of new laws.
“With everything presently going on in the world, it feels like we’re taking a giant step back,” Anetra said.

The majority of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 contained shorter episodes, going from 90 to 60 minutes, including commercials. However, that didn’t stop the drag reality television competition series from packing its runtime with both talent and drama. RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 first introduced the world to “metalgate,” but episode 12 is bringing “Heavengate” to the forefront.

Episode 6, “Old Friends Gold,” tasked the queens with writing and performing lyrics as old lady girl groups. The contestants had to determine which group would perform which song, which included country, metal, and hip-hop genres.
Things got spicy when drama broke out between two groups fighting over the metal song, which became known as “metalgate.” Luxx Noir London, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, and Salina EsTitties formed one of the groups that desired the song, while Aura Mayari, Malaysia Babydoll Foxx,...

Last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race marked the two hundredth episode of the American version of the show and so to celebrate the entire episode was dedicated to celebrating some of the most iconic moments in the show’s fifteen-year history! This included a mini-challenge where the queens photo-bombed attention-grabbing moments from previous sessions, the queens discussed their favourite moments and a ball maxi challenge with one category being focussed on re-imagining previous ball categories! I really enjoy when the producers of the show decide to tie sections of the show together as it helps to create a cohesive viewing experience for anyone watching. After putting up a good fight (to the surprise of everyone) in the lip-sync, Spice was sadly told to sashay away which means that both twins are officially out of the competition. At the top end of the episode was Sasha but the...

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s eleventh episode, Plastique Tiara makes her “Pit Stop” debut following appearances in many “Drag Race” tours since her time on season 11. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 11, Plastique is not shy about her dislike for Salina EsTitties, saying she doesn’t deserve to have survived three lip syncs and feels the “execution is just not there” on the runway. She also has harsh words for “pick me girl” Loosey Laduca and Luxx Noir London who suffers from “self-delusion.”
Despite their concerns for their personalities, when it came to the comedy challenge, Bianca and Plastique thought that Loosey and Luxx were in the best position to do really well in the challenge after...

Stand-up comedy is one of the toughest challenges on RuPaul's Drag Race. The judges put a lot of pressure on the queens to craft a funny stand-up routine. They want to hear all the jokes.
The latest comedy show on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 Episode 11 showed how certain queens could thrive (or stumble) under the set-up.
Either you've got the comedy skill, or the lack killed all your chances. Safe to say the consistently safe queen couldn't hide from this showcase.
"Two Queens, One Joke" was a roller coaster of jokes and cringeworthy silence. RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 still has plenty of comedy queens left in the competition, so the odds were high that we'd be in for a good time.
Between Mistress constantly roasting the cast and the queens bantering with each other, we knew they could make us laugh. But delivering for the stand-up show was another story.

Like the great Angela Bassett before her, Marcia Marcia Marcia did the thing on Friday’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Mind you, “the thing” was not winning this week’s maxi challenge, as Marcia didn’t exactly wow the judges with her one-woman comedy show. Nor was it the runway category, as the judges read her for basically wearing a variation of Loosey Laduca’s pageant runner-up look from the Crystal Ball.

Season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race has seen some of its competitors butt heads and go on to become great friends. Malaysia Babydoll Foxx, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Sugar, and Spice are a perfect example of such a relationship. Mistress and Malaysia took Sugar and Spice under their wings, and they quickly became tight-knit sisters.

Can the queens pull out their interview skills in front of the cameras? That was the big question on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 Episode 10.
Drag Race has done "interview" Maxi Challenges in the past; it's a great game to test the queens' charisma and ability to think of their feet. Showing off their personality can be the trick to shining and wowing the judges.
But if a queen gets overwhelmed, they can't turn away from the cameras. It's a live challenge!
"50/50's Most Gagworthy Stars" proved that many of the queens from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 can have careers as interview hosts. Many of them did a great job!
The round was cheeky, fun, and completely unpredictable. The celebrity guests kept these queens on their toes; it was hilarious for us viewers and surprising for the queens, just like an actual interview.

By the end of episode 9 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 on February 24, Spice and Salina EsTitties were both making their second trips to the bottom two. Following a three-look “Crystal Ball,” Spice and Salina were sent to the Lip Sync for Your Life to perform the Lil Nas X song “That’s What I Want.” Salina was declared the winner and Spice was sent back to the Werk Room to clean up her things.
We asked in a recent poll if Spice was the right queen to “sashay away” and a majority of fans think that the judges got this one wrong. Instead of Spice going home, 55% of those polled believe that Salina was more deserving of elimination. Only 23% of fans think that the judges got it right with eliminating Spice.

Two hundred episodes?! Drag Race has made its mark in herstory.
It's an iconic week on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 Episode 9, and the queens are here to celebrate. They took the drama, the joy, and the style to The Crystal Ball.
Twenty-seven looks strutted the runway, but only one queen landed at the top. Anything can happen at a Ball!
"The Crystal Ball: Episode 200" was a heartwarming and exciting round that gave us a lot of nostalgia and fashion.
For anyone who has watched Drag Race over the years, there were plenty of callouts to iconic moments from the franchise. Even the scenes and one-liners that blew up in pop culture got a shoutout. It's a great nod because Drag Race loves its nostalgia and herstory.
And that fun started with a long overdue Mini Challenge.

It’s appropriate that RuPaul threw the Crystal Ball for Friday’s 200th episode of Drag Race, because this week’s results doubled as a look into the future.
That’s how I see it, anyway. Sasha Colby was the belle of Season 15’s ball, showcasing her personal style and versatility with three incredible looks. First, she was the only queen to truly reinvent Ru’s iconic jumpsuit, reimagining it as a slinky, midriff-baring gown. And that weed-themed “dime bag” dress was so fantastically camp, it gave me a contact high.

By the end of episode 8 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 on February 17, Jax found herself once again on stage in front of the judges to lip sync for her life. This time it was at the culmination of a “LipSync Lalaparuza Smackdown” that left her opposite Anetra after they each lost in two previous head-to-heads. Ultimately Anetra bested Jax in the final showdown after Anetra saved Spice from having to perform.
We asked in a recent poll if Jax was the right queen to “sashay away” by the end of the smackdown and almost half of you said yes. At the time of this writing, 45% of the voters in the poll believe Jax deserved to go home.

The LALAPaRuZa lip sync smackdown has become one of RuPaul’s Drag Race‘s most iconic challenges, as queens compete against each other in jaw-dropping lip syncs to keep their spot in the competition. Season 15 of Drag Race had a larger-than-life LALAPaRuZa, with queens performing to songs such as Anitta‘s “Boys Don’t Cry” and Joan Jett’s “Do You Wanna Touch Me.” Some of the songs in the lip sync tournament have been used on Drag Race in the past.
