Drag Addled

Better late than... never mind. In this episode we discuss our final 4 and the inevitable conclusion of this season of Drag Race UK. Along the way, Tash finds out that Harry doesn't know what the WAP fist is, and Harry schools Tash on gold bullion. Because, why not?

Harry and Tash recap Rupaul's latest acting challenge "BeastEnders" and could it be the best ever? The British cultural references are STRONG with this episode so we answer all the key questions. Who is Natalie Cassidy? What exactly is a pantomime Dame? Is this show any good without A'Whora?

Holy audio entanglements, Batman! After a long battle, episode 8 is here - but don't worry, it will be followed very shortly by 9 and 10. This week we've discussed whether the running order of a stand up show matters, and Harry and Tash deliver some advice to the young Ellie D: Don't apologise, but also please never do Dirty Diamond again. We're begging. (Apologies for Harry occasionally sounding like he's dialling in from a wind tunnel in a warzone, but hopefully you'll agree we did an alright job of tidying up) 

Harry and Tash follow the Queens as they battle through Snatch Game and a trash to a sort of covid themed treasure runway. Would Tash make a good Nigella? Is there such a thing as too much airtime? We answer all this and many more questions you didn't ask

Well it all kind of went to s**t, didn't it? Not just in this episode, but in our recording! In this late offering, we cover the Ruruvision Song Contest, which bears a striking resemblance to its namesake - cheesy, bad lyrics and with a strong sense of "wait, haven't we seen this before?". Harry and Tash question the continued presence of Sister Sister, Tash makes a BADLY judged guess at the final two and Harry grapples with his microphone so if you get to around the 20 minute mark and the pops are too much, roll on forward to 22:40 in when we return fresh after a week to finish our handiwork with nicer audio.

In which Harry and Tash figure out what "Dragony Nieces" means, discuss the Rudemption of A'Whora and have very split opinions on how the series is going. But as much as we disagree with each other, we disagree with Ru more. #JusticeForGinny #Tias4thPlaceFinish

It's a bumper episode! 100% intentional. Tash is bored, Harry is mildly bemused but all in all they are CONFUSED. The judges made some frankly whacky decisions the past couple weeks and we dive in to all of them

This week we have a camp old time and see the queens set to work with a sewing machine – or glue gun for those who didn't get the brief even after 10,000 seasons of the show across the world. Harry and Tash launch an impassioned defence of Ginny Lemon's existing aesthetic, Asttina's shoulders and Tia Kofi's emerging role as narrator of the series. Harry explains what big feet means (wink wink) and neither of them think the bottom two was right this episode.

After boldly claiming that she didn't like this episode at all, by the end of the episode Tash will admit it doesn't entirely belong in the sewer. Harry puts up a good defence, with a deepening love for Tia Kofi spurring him on. We chat about the strange edit Lawrence Chaney is getting, the sleeper surprise that is Veronica Green and the runway hits and misses of the week.

We're back on home soil and feeling a bit more comfortable. Who needs glitz and glamour when you can just simply... have a slice? This week we meet a LOT of queens, quite possibly too many. We see a truly terrible mini challenge and a pretty decent maxi challenge, and a puzzling elimination. Harry has pledged his allegiance early on to a certain Queen, while Tash mostly just gets mocked for forgetting the name of a band that was moderately big in the noughties.

Harry is not quite sure RuPaul's latest is the "Phenomenon" it's billed as but for Tash MOTHER HAS ARRIVED in the form of one prolific Queen. They wade their way through another ocean of lewks helpfully comparing them to films no one has seen and soft rock icons.... It's a good episode we promise.

It's the first week for real for the Winner's circle as they dance, rap, sing and use up about half of their clothes in one episode. Harry has a new love, Tash demands that unbroken things be fixed and it is in the opinion of this podcast that next week's Queens face a grim fate but whatever could it be? We tell you. Listen to the podcast.

We're back! In this edition – recorded sober for a change – we discuss the power of an emotive crotch, how Marge Simpson is THE face of Chanel and also spend lots of time discussing the looks and lip syncs that this season's opener has provided us. Have we been playing Lindsay Lohan's Rumours on repeat since it aired? We couldn't possibly say.

The inevitable has happened. The lateness of the episode, the crowning of the Queen, and the kind of main stage Eleganza that can only be funded by a second run round the competition. This has been the All Stars with everything we didn't know we needed, which includes Derrick Berry LIVING for and rolling in the drama she didn't create, and thirsty Juju trying to instigate a pillow fight. Because why not?

Recapping the penultimate episode of AS5, Harry and Tash discuss the delightful delusion that Blair St Clair brings to the table, how Shea Coulée does a 'look over there!' with THAT red dress as well as how this was one of the most disappointing lipsyncs we've seen in a while. #JusticeforKennedy

This week, we discuss the Charles family reunion and the very welcome return of Thick n Juicy, as well as the beautiful audacity of one Jujubee for STILL NOT LEARNING HOW TO SEW (to be fair, would still wear the dress). The ghost of India keeps the drama going, and we now have the template of the letter to write to our enemies. Open your heart, guys.

Tackling the big subjects this week: What is love? What is the perfect temperature? What time is it? Who are they supposed to be, anyway? That's right, it's Snatch Game - the episode that usually sorts the tops from the bottoms, but this week with extra spice from the werkroom drama. We discuss it all, including how Jeffree Star is possibly the worst choice we've ever seen. Also, Harry learns what happens when Flavor Flav's clock ticks to 4.20.

Tash and Harry dig into the gossip at SheMZ HQ as the Queen's take on improv, once again, in what could be the best challenge yet. Harry bravely reveals his hate of Camo and Tash makes a passionate defence of India Ferrah's acting chops. Will their energetic arguments make a difference? Absolutely not, but here they are regardless.

A mixed response to this episode, with Tash thinking the Queens are being criminally undersold so far this season and Harry thinking it was... fine? We debate who the real villain is, and how much production has gone into the villainy. We also get angry at some of the judging this week. What Harry and Tash both agree on, however, is that Shea Coulée. That's it, that's the sentence.

One of the few terms we like to adopt from the US is "dumpster fire", which is how we feel about this week's challenge. Thankfully, a solid runway and top shelf dramalama make it an episode well worth discussing. Around the 28 minute mark, you too can endure the same broken toilet metaphor that Tash had to. Something about Miz Cracker.

It's been so long since we last saw Drag Race, it's difficult to remember, isn't it? This week we're introduced to the iconique Queens who've been deemed too brilliant to have just one shot at the crown. Harry demonstrates his exceptional knowledge of seasons past – and of Madonna – and Tash tries to put her finger on why a certain Queen's drag just isn't... gelling. All Stars 5 starts with a reading challenge (with mixed results) and goes on to a variety show (also with mixed results and, sadly, no Same Parts). Also, what's with this Miz Cracker edit?

Harry and Tash celebrate a worthy winner, who'll have no need for a certain papier maché trophy. We also express excitement – and a little concern – at the endless waves of Drag Race seasons that shall SOON ENVELOP US ALL

Vegas baby! In this episode, we watch the final queens dive headfirst into one of the more complicated challenges we've seen in a long time. This is a Rusical like no other, mostly because this one is a very long advert for Ru Inc.(not a read). Harry's watching from behind his hands because of his fears for darling Crystal, while Tash puts the finishing touches on Jaida's papier maché trophy (or trophé if you like).

First - apologies for the late episode. Life. You know? Yeah.Second - Hey, how are you doing? In this episode we discuss the run up to the final 5, who slays the all-important One Queen Show, how Whoopi has changed our lives and exactly why Star Trek was so amazing and groundbreaking. Harry brings his trivia, Tash brings her odd and possibly irrelevant anecdotes, and they both brought gin. Good times. TO THE RUNWAY!It's a long one, but you've got time, right?

Oooooh child! A surprise cast reveal has Harry and Tash 'membering the good old days, questioning how they can survive with THIS MUCH Drag Race, and picking their tops and bottoms for the upcoming All Stars season. What a cast...!

Harry and Tash return to chat about all things Drag Race in this truly chaotic episode of the podcast. Harry tries to turn the conversation to Crystal Methyd as much as possible, Tash is busy building her Jaida plinth, and also throwing Celebrity Drag Race references at an unsuspecting and unwitting Harry. We loved seeing the Superfans on the show, want #JusticeForJanetThePlanet and one of us is more willing to step into the limelight should the call come up. Can you guess who? We'd apologise for the messiness this week, but we're not going to.

Harry and Tash both agree that this episode was a treat, but who's getting the vote out? Has a professional fine filly overtaken another to become TOP competitor? Even without a horse to ride? Or will she need to find another TRADE when this is all over?All these questions, and none of the answers. Plus we actually get a bit serious cos we've got some things to discuss. But not for too long – we ain't really running for presidents, bitches. Enjoy.

In a world where you can sell anything, why wouldn't it be a wig for your vagina? Harry and Tash delve into the marketing triumphs and mishaps of our remaining season 12 Queens, in which Harry declares himself Crystal Methyd's greatest fan, and we discuss how the victorious queen takes Ru's advice and reaps the rewards. We also sneak in a bit more El DeBarge and make sure you're totally clear on why Jan was so sad last episode. OBVIOUSLY she just misses Brita. Duh!

And you know what? Harry didn't hate it. In this episode, we recap the classic Rusical episode, which delivered on the goods. We uncover past talent show traumas, establish the true depths of Harry's Madonna knowledge, and we debate whether Gigi should have won (spoiler - neither of us think she did, but we argue about who the real victor is). In true Rusical fashion, we FINALLY get some theme music. Enjoy!@dragaddledpoddragagddles@gmail.com

It's the episode you wait for, and are usually disappointed by... but wait? Do we spy a Snatch Game that lives up to its potential? Harry & Tash are pleasantly surprised with a strong crop of winners and a number of notable disasters. Includes an AT LENGTH discussion about Aiden Zane. Spoiler alert: We forgive, even if Patricia Quinn does not.

This week, these two UK-based Drag Race fans find themselves at a loss. Who are the comedy writers for Drag Race? Can they be replaced? Out of the gate, Tash suggests that the episode was a bit "balls". Harry, usually one to disagree, had to concur. In this episode, we have a great time dissecting exactly why it hit a rough note. Disagree? Let us know

It's our favourite week. SEWING CHALLENGE! In which we separate the glue gun-wielding pretenders from the professional SINGERS (get it?) and the divas who think they're too important to learn. Anyway, we recap a great episode with a horrifying ending. Enjoy!

This week, Tash turns up with an attitude, and didn't like the main challenge one bit. Harry turns up two drinks deep and picks a few fights with Tash. Probably our best episode yet? We recap and review RuPaul's Drag Race. We're fans going back to at least when Manila first graced our screens. Virus free zone, and we don't eat Pie either.

A delayed second episode, where we meet six more queens and talk about five of them. Guaranteed Coronavirus free.

We're back discussing a competition we aren't qualified to discuss, and understand even less because now it's about the American version of the competition! We discuss how we'll be dealing with THAT contestant in our recaps, as well as how we feel about self-proclaimed "Look Queens" and just how much RuPaul put the girls through this episode. Also, it's revealed to Harry that Mayhem Miller IS Kanye West. Enjoy.

On New Year's Day we ventured out with sore heads and saw the incredible Frock Destroyers do their thing, in a magical night organised by Klub Kids UK that probably deserved a bit more energy than us damaged revellers could manage. Here's what we thought of Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea and Divina De Campo's ensemble show, with fabulous turns from drag queen Meth and Ashley Fox, the local talent we're hoping to see on Season 2.

What a BRILLIANT series of Drag Race we've been treated to. A great and fitting finale for the first of what will probably be 100 seasons of the UK version, destined to be judged years from now by a bionic Baga Chipz who simply repeats 'Much Betta' with a rusty jerk of her failing arm. And now, dearest friends, we have made our way through hangovers and travels to the final episode of this series of Drag Addled (though we'll be keeping our eyes out for gossip for bonus eps). Find out what we made of the winning queen, the challenges, and this victory lap for an incredible series that has breathed fresh life into the franchise.Got an idea for what you want us to chat about next?

It's bring your family to drag day! We were treated with puppets and some drama as the standard drag family resemblance challenge saw several Queens rise to the challenge a bit better than others. We're already missing Blu Hydrangea. Harry's sexy voice is because he has a cold, Tash's sexy voice is cos she's sexy. Yet again, Tash writes these episode descriptions.Two uniquely unqualified Drag Race fans give their views on the UK's take on the iconic competition

Just when we thought we'd peaked at Snatch Game, we got the best challenge yet, the best guest judge yet, and some meaty chat about actual issues. Tens across the board? Have we all fallen for Cheryl's spell? Has "Clippety Clop Bitch" been made into a meme yet?Two uniquely unqualified Drag Race fans dissect and discuss the UK's take on the iconic competition.

We're getting down to it now hennies!

Tash is 3 for 3 on sashay away predictions, and Harry bows down to her intellectual talent. Tash also writes these episode descriptions. We're just two drag fans, giving our thoughts on the UK's take on the iconic competition!

A podcast all about RuPaul's Drag Race UK - two uniquely unqualified fans give their thoughts on the UK's take on the iconic competition. Harry's mic takes a little downturn after 7 minutes, but he promises it won't happen again. Tash lords it over Harry for her accurate predictions.

Our very first episode!We're two uniquely unqualified viewers of Drag Race, giving our take on the UK's version of the iconic show. In this episode we discuss our pre-show impressions of RuPaul's pick of the Brits, what we might be able to expect from a more British-leaning cast, Harry's impressive levels of research and encyclopedic knowledge of who was on which season of RuPaul's Drag Race, and Tash's insistence of dragging Queens for their makeup even though she doesn't know what primer is.
