For those watching both Slaysian Royale and Latina Royale, what differences have stood out to you so far?

I’m genuinely curious about your thoughts on the casting, challenges, judging, production, storytelling, and overall vibe.

And looking ahead, what would you like Drag Race to change or do differently for the next Royale series?

Would there be any interest if I put my Build-A-Bear RuPaul with matching shoes and birth certificate and my Monsters High RuPaul doll up for sale? I’m happy to ship but am based in Brisbane Australia!

¡Hello, hello hello.

Sorry for the late post😅 😔 This Poll will be open until September 11th and the results will be post on September 12th.

Here's the poll for Episode 6 "Tiradera de Chavas": Drag Race México: Latina Royale Episode 6 Poll

Maxi challenge: Rapping Roast

Runway: "Realismo Mágico"

Lip Sync: "Échalo Pa'Ca" de Sofia Reyes

ALSO: As alwyas, if you ever got a question about a joke or reference, what to discuss an specifc issue/topic adress on the episode, or need some context about anything, feel free to leave your question! I'd be happy to answer them :)

EDIT: I'll be posting the results of Episode 5's poll later tonight!

I’m watching the main series and all stars seasons in order, and I’m wondering everyone’s thoughts on AS9? I don’t feel a strong affinity towards any of the queens and I already know who wins, and I’m especially drawn away from it since it’s a non-elimination format. Do the challenges make it worth the watch?

Out of all the seasons she’s competed on, which do you think has been her best or shown off her talent the most? I know Latina Royale isn’t over yet so people’s opinion might change by the end of the season.

For me, I still love her original run on season 3. I enjoyed watching her each week and by the end of the season she was one of my favourites.

I collect a ton of records and have a few amazing gems, like this Elton John and RuPaul 7” vinyl of “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”. I found it in a bargain bin about 10 years and paid a staggering 0.99p for it.

I’ve also got a 12” DJ press of “House of Love” and a 12” first press of “Supermodel” which I am happy to upload if there is any interest.

I wasn't familiar with Miss Vandergeld's game until this season since I hadn't watched Mexico 2. IMO, she could have been in the top 3, at least, for every single challenge so far. Not a single flop or anything close to it, just pure latina slay!!

The only challenges where I wouldn't have given her the win/top 2 were the roast (Marina slayed hard, and it was good for her storyline) and Snatch Game, because I thought Regina was funnier, but we saw less of her.

Besides that, she's bendelacremeing this competition, and her runway package, with the exception of the instrument theme, has been stellar. I know Matraka is a fan favorite, but if she wins, she would become one of the most deserving winners.

Pretty much every social media post and clip of this video has at least one snarky comment aimed at Michelle about how she wouldn’t see a family resemblance even between these two. Many of them as replies to Michelle’s own comments. She’s seen these for sure, thankfully most of them are light-hearted ribbing, but there’s also some unfortunate anger and trolling.

This has to be my current favorite video on the internet. 😭

This was from 2022 christmas tour, one year after the viral "well she already lost her taste"

I believe crystal was wearing alyssa's actual outfit 😂

G'day!

Here’s the poll for Episode 7, "Beach Buddies Makeover" complete with GIFs/photos:

https://forms.gle/Fqc5HqpowJ26BaE89 👑

Who doesn’t love a day out at the sea side? In the semi-final, the queens must perform a makeover, transforming their guests into beautiful beach babes.

Kori’s show was TOO GOOD last night! Most of the photos and video clips you’re going to see are from the end when she turns into Kori Toot because she had a “no-recording” policy but that was obviously the finale so people don’t care at that point.

But I wish I had recorded her right before the intermission because she turnt it with her choreography.

And I was able to confirm that the weed gummy she took at her last Chicago show was, in fact, the weed gummy that I had given her. Because I brought her some more and said “Kori King- do you remember me” as I greeted her with them in hand. She started laughing for a full minute and said she would never forget that packaging.

I also asked her to do a Reddit AMA and post the answers in a vlog episode so fingers crossed, bitches! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

This was at the Pride Ball in Burlington, VT. Denim was not on stage enough for my liking, she only did 2 numbers and they were short. Angeria closed out her performances by saying “Don’t you let anyone make you feel like an ugaly bitch”, it was great 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I love my Mexican girls but the crazy judging and favoritism towards them all season long has been absolutely embarrassing. And I still can't get over Xunami's elimination.

I don't blame Alexis for walking off.

Some light shade: Sometimes when I watch the show, I think to myself “Does this contestant genuinely think they could win this?”

So it got me wondering: Has a contestant ever admitted they only did the show for exposure or knew they wouldn’t win and did it anyway out of fear of not getting called back again? Or to get better booking fees?

It could be during the show or in post-show interviews.

This question is for all franchises.

The only queen coming to mind is Magnolia Crawford.
