RuPaul’s Drag Race season 16 just wrapped and it was spectacular!
I am generally a harsher drag race season critic than many, but I think 16 might have been my favorite since , maybe 6 or 7?
From early this year until recently we had 4 concurrent seasons of Drag Race to watch. UK vs The World season 2, Spanish All Stars, Belgium season 2, and this mainline season 16.
LOVE Drag Race. I’m watching 11 right now (only started watching in the last 18 months) and it’s wonderful, even if I think Silky was highly overrated. Who is your favourite queen of all time? I love Naomi Smalls SO much.
I think there are just too many categories of favorites for me to choose a single option.
If I had to try, I’d maybe pick Ben DeLa Creme. She was robbed horribly on her season, then destroyed All Stars but was also kind enough to let Trixie have a chance to become the super star she is.
She’s also incredibly talented and puts on amazing parody shows with Jinkx, which I think DeLa does most of the writing.
I think DeLa is WONDERFUL. So obviously talented. I wonder why she quit All Stars. Adore Delano I got because she was obviously very emotionally fragile and unprepared for the competition, but DeLa wiped the floor with everyone.
While she doesn’t go into specific incidents, she wrote this amazing post on the subject back then, which I think makes it clear enough how it came about:
Letterkenny which is without question the best show on TV, a Black mirror again, Reservation Dogs, and Los Espookys. Also just finished Somebody Somewhere, which is outstanding. And We’re Here which is a show about drag which I highly recommend. I’ve been sick so I’m watching a lot of shows this week.
It’s been a while since last time I discovered something new. There’s Resident Alien, but I reserve that for when I’m watching something with my GF, as she likes it too.
When I’m by myself, such as on work trips, I’ve started rewatching my favorites. First it was Breaking Bad. Then it was Chernobyl. I’m now rewatching The 4400 (I had forgotten how good that show was from start to finish). I think New York Undercover is next up after 4400.
