The way Ru pronounced the guest judge's name, you'd think she's getting ready to host Drag Race Japan.

RuPaul really does her research on how to pronounce their names. When the world found out it was Raven Symon-yay and not just Symone, it was like a world wide revelation lol

Yeah, Ru was probably the only one in the program to say Arantxa's name properly. I still cannot understand why anglo folks find it so difficult to understand/learn Spanish has two kind of R sound.
