What's that saying? 2 in the… Well, more like 6 in the Pink Team! The second bracket of All Stars 10 brings 6 more amazing fan favorite queens back into the competition for a shot at points, glory, and bragging rights. This week, Ru - yearning for her party days - decided to throw a ball – an 8-Ball! In a rare act of mercy, it's not 8 looks per queen, but rather 1 look using 8 randomly decided materials from an oversized 8 Ball. Alliances are formed early on, and somehow all of them end up involving Mistress. The competition is really heating up at this point – one girl whips up a bathing suit in the same time it took another girl to make a lined coat and tailored high waisted pants. Who will be the first ones to make their mark in bracket 2? It's all this plus more tea on an all new X Is For Show!

Today, we're gonna play some basketball. Whoop there it is! In the final week of Bracket One, the queens are tasked with making over women's college basketball players. But before they can pass it to the main challenge, they gotta score... and the girls get messy! Aja and Olivia clash as Olivia gives her points to Deja and none for Phoenix bye. Irene the Alien seems to have sports on her planet and scores the most free throws. As a prize she gets to divvy out the girls to their queens. Visions clash, aliens land, and pretty girls don't have do too much. Who will receive the bs critiques from Michelle this time around? And who will be the first three Queens to make it to the semifinal of All Stars 10? It's all this plus more tea on an all new X Is For Show!

There was an idea: to draft together a group of remarkable queens, to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the lip sync battles that we never could. Playing out the first season of Drag Race Draft alongside Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race has only made us love both games even more. But as one season of the show gives way to another, so must we too bid adieu to the queens we've come to love playing with.

We're here to Rate The Queens – and we're looking at the receipts! All Stars 10 has 3 teams of 6 girls competing - just like our own Drag Race Draft game!

Queens will take turns randomly competing in lipsyncs against each other to be crowned The Queen of SheDoneAllReadyDoneHadHerses.

After the year Nico, Kevo, and Jonah have had with Drag Race Live, it was so fitting this week would be ALL OUT VEGAS!

Another season, another makeover challenge! Bringing in family makes these episodes so complicated – do the judges grade kinder because the ladies have guests? Do they go all in and get feisty about the resemblance or lack-there-of?? This episode delivers on fam, makeovers, drama, self-realization, and truly, nonstop memetic goodness.

The girls get asked to do something very few sets of girls have been asked to do: the girls do interpretative dance and acting/read original poems. It's kind of odd, it's a little boring, but it's a lot of fun? For the most part? The judges go gaga for the super silly (Lexi) and have a tepid response to on-the-nose (Suzie) and the bottoms wind up slugging it out for rated-lowest-in-a-weird-challeng. Then a repeat lipsyncer didn't stand a chance, based on stats/odd, but not our love for her. Plus – the Draft Race continues! Its all this and more on an all new X Is For Show!

Duck, duck Drag Queen! This week, the queens are tasked with a scripted acting challenge paying homage to notable gossip queen and homosexual, Ross Mathews ... I mean Truman Capote. Taking inspiration from iconic reality star moments, the queens must over act and shine against their scene partners. No nuance here, this week runway is the Black and White Ball. And the highly anticipated question of the season, "Who Should Go Home and Why?" was met… with cop-out answers from the biggest competition. And an unfortunate lipsync where someone is done by their own pair of scissors. It's all this plus more tea on an all new X Is For Show!

Oh heavens to Betsy… Johnson! It's time for another design challenge, this time creating looks to match collections from the iconic and trailblazing designer Betsy Johnson. But first, it's time for the honored pre-design challenge mini challenges, the reading challenge! Learning from past mistakes, the reads were kept to the best of each girl. Split into three groups, each queen was tasked to make an outfit inspired by and would fit in their given collection.

In 2022, two Ana de Armas fans filed a lawsuit after renting the 2019 film Yesterday and discovering that scenes with her from the trailer had been cut entirely from the film. This incident opened a discussion about what is "false advertising." For example, when a Rusical billed as portraying The Wizard Of Oz, Wicked, and The Wiz all at once turns out to be a parody of A Chorus Line - is the audience to blame for having strong reactions?

Once upon a time, The Snatch Game asked the girls to do impersonations of famous celebrities, filled with references, jokes, and visual identifiers indicating the intention of the performance. In recent seasons, the performances have trended towards meme-style shorts or YouTube deep dives. Some girls had one joke (and panicked when it was used…by the host?) while some girls had too many jokes THAT NO ONE UNDERSTOOD (literally, Suzie, you're perfect but no one could understand so *cut* the voice), and yet there were girls rewarded for… giving up?

Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race continues to make waves with the latest RPDR standard: RDR Live! Part Acting Challenge, part Comedy Challenge, and often all-around incredibly awkward, this challenge truly does test the Queens' depths of talent. This year's outing proved to have the usual highs and lows - but did the right queen land on the bottom? And if the Badonka-Dunk Tank's levers delivers a splash, does it even matter in the end?? At least then we won't have to hear about Vegas again anytime soon. (Or WILL we…?)

It's been a controversial premiere so far for Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race! While we got to meet all 14 queens up front, we've only seen half show their talent. While Lucky Starzzz dazzled and Susie Toot delighted, other queens struck a different chord with the audience. Will Acacia Forgot's country charm be wasted on the RuPaul stage? How will she compare to fellow country queen Sam Star, or the rest of the second half? We will have all this PLUS the latest on Canada's Drag Race with the final FOUR queens!

Let's get BRUNCHED! It's time to talk about that finale (was it a talent show or a setlist?), the second week of Canada, plus more tea and talk! Kicking things off, the team dishes about the second half of that two-part finale, which watches like a bunch of singles, new staples, and then Shannel juggling. It left the season off on an odd note, not reaching the heights of Seasons 7 or 8, but the winners (and ALL the girls) were definitely deserving. Still, the second week of Canada Vs The World overshadowed it with some killer comedy. It's all this and more on an all new BRUNCH EDITION of X Is For Show!

Holy Guacamole! Rusicals are a tradition, and this season of All Stars plays into the best parts of the annual challenge, with pre-recorded vocals by the girls, incredible storytelling, and amazing costuming. And then there's the girls' performances: Roxxxy's vocals, Nina's presence, Jorgeous's, uh, sexy murder bot dance?

Math is wacky, numbers are crazy, and these Queens are having a moment – Angeria snips wild, Gottmik gets mad, and Plastique loses another lipsync. The Dolls were in full force tonight, if a little tame, darling. And the challenge is a little weird – it's a Rusic tribute but it also…has nothing to do with music? Because next week is the Rusical. And then it was a fashion challenge – so of course Miss Roxxxy was turned aaaaaallllllll the way up. Meanwhile, some girls get no screentime.

Slapped & Gagged. Girl, first off, this thing is for charity – so everyone's trying their hardest to win. Second, it's RPDR, so everyone is trying real hard to get that win. The politics of the season are beginning to take their toll on the girls (and the storyline) as Roxxxy, who turned casting her cut into a two-act musical, came for Angeria's antics like she was Roxxxy's understudy. Then there was the fruit, and the challenge, and lots of slapping, and the playback went on for a minute – and there was STILL time for a drop in cameo from RPDR legend Jaida Essence Hall!

We don't just watch the show: we know the looks, know the moves, and we sing the damn songs as loud as we can. The early years lacked the single-ification that later RPDR would come to be defined by, but it's impossible to miss how central to the identity of the show music has always been. And now thanks to the magic of Tiermaker, kick back with a House of Love cocktail (jk), but on your Best Of The Dolls playlist, and listen/vote along as we rank all (well, like most) of the Drag Race Group Songs Seasons 1 - 16!

If it's a season of RPDR, you can be sure there's gonna be a roast. If it's a season of All Stars, it's going to have built-in grudges, egos, and years of hurt feelings – but this year, at least the jokes were ACTUALLY good. Maybe too good? The sharpness, the editing – it's all starting to point to an unusual season for charity, where perhaps not all of the girls are behaving… charitably? What's the edit, what's the tea, and what-in-the-hell – BOB'S BACK?! From Angeria's drag delusion to Roxxxy's vow for revenge, it's a party.

DON'T LET THE TELETUBBIES FOOL YOU! This is STILL RuPaul's Drag Race - and, despite a very silly opening challenge, there was still PLENTY of shad! While Roxxxy Andrews was a diva in Season Five, she has grown up into a total pro – which is why her second All Stars run is already legendary. But is it for the right reasons? After an uncertain win last week, and a somewhat questionable comedy challenge this week, the episodes may as well take place in a factory with the manufactured drama as Angeria remains targeted, the judging stays extremely positive (except for Nina's), and it all smacks of shenanigans. Also: what was with the lipsync, math overwhelms Shannel, and more doll drama – so come talk Drag Race All Stars with us on a new X Is For Show!

This week on All Stars, production merged two classics – the MAKEOVER and THE GIRL GROUPS challenges!? The firemen are great, the girls are terrific, but there's a disconnect in trying to fit all of this into the time, without an Untucked, and still do it all justice. Plus – what was with the TIE!? AND ALSO, some of the Action Pack made it out to our favorite town in the world, Asbury Park, to kick off Pride month with Trixie Mattel and the Solid Pink Disco (WITH JAN!!!!!!), and made sure to hit up the local drag scene (there's videos of Nico dancing) – and we'll be bring it all to you!

Snatch Game is one of the most beloved regular Drag Race challenges year after year – the results on Snatch Game of Love, though, can be a bit different.

It's been a cultural touchstone for many generations. It was almost always on a Thursday. It made us laugh, it made us cry, it brought us together and it tore us apart.

After several years without any mischief, variants, or Miss Minutes, Loki has returned with a banger premiere full of twists, turns, and trickery (plus Sylvie, Mobius, and plenty more). On the other side of things, Only Murders In The Building & Ahsoka, two more streaming shows where the arc design is a function of the series (ie, moving forward the universe or telling a specific complete mystery) saw their seasons come to a close – and while both shows promise more from their characters, there's no dates or confirmed forms.

Loki's back! The show that brought the term “variants” into your living room returns with a new set of rules, more variants, and a lot of questions about what-could-have-been.

It starts with a small block. Add construction elements, IPs, celebrities, and (mostly) likable two–builder teams, and that's Lego Masters. After two US seasons, a holiday special season, and a ton of international editions, Lego Masters is back with wilder gimmicks, new themed-challenges, and of course, more Will Arnett (who beats us to the punch, joking about his own credentials). Join us for the newest season of Brad Pitt's brick fanatic competition – as well as the return of another international competition: RuPaul's Drag Race season 5!

Do you like space aliens? Do you like history? Do you like space aliens MAKING history? Then DOCTOR WHO might be for you! As the long-running sci-fi series is about to undergo a massive revitalization for its 60th anniversary, now may be the perfect time for you to take the plunge into the TARDIS. But what even is a TARDIS? And SIXTY YEARS?? With so much to catch up on, it can be hard to know where to begin, let alone if you even want to! Never fear - the Action Pack's got your back! First up, we'll be taking a concise look at the core of what Doctor Who is. Then, Producer Kevo has come up with a short list he'll be sharing of 6 episodes that provide a perfect sample platter of the show from throughout its 2005 revival's run. As a group, we'll discuss the reasons for each episode's selection to see if we agree or if the team can come up with something even better. Lastly, we'll be giving a preview of another project coming up the time vortex: the Doctor Who Short Cut, where we cut the series revival's 175 episodes down to a more digestible 60.
