Espana did it. It turned the corner. A good snatch game is then buoyed by one of the most stunning, all-timer runways we have ever seen, and hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey have all the thoughts on who won, who failed, and who might yet snatch the crown. (But seriously: a can't-miss runway. Trust us.) Follow us on Instagram: @ worldwideteadragracepodcast Follow us on Bluesky: worldwideteapod.b...

Somehow, "Drag Race UK" soldiers on, and we ... well this wasn't the worst episode, but the judging was strange. Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey talk about the tears and emotions that flow from the remaining queens seeing their family members in the workroom and the difficulty they must endure, emotionally and physically, as they push through a makeover challenge. Who do you think is gonna win? We a...

It's another week, and that means we have another way for "Drag Race Philippines" to delight us once again. Amidst a wet and mild mini-challenge, hosts Evan Sawdey & Gregory Ellwood talk about a wonderful Snatch Game which has some surprises, from Bhorj Gum's otherworldly Jennifer Coolidge impression to a surprise appearance on the panel by "Super B" herself. A holiday runway unfortunately disappo...

RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 8 is ready for a spooky acting challenge and your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey laughed at it! While Naya Thorn and Coral-Hole Mandi lip synced for the win, much of the episode was focused on drama between KY Kelly and Mocha. Your hosts wonder if the continuing KY narrative is diminishing the season overall and when the spotlight will trul...

Drag Race Philippines is the one current Drag Race franchise guaranteed to entertain you. This week is a Greatest Showman spoof-ed Rusical. The queens battle over roles (maybe a bit too much), Katana and Merckz destroy their performances and a former drag assistant now Rugirl says goodbye. Your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Evan Sawdey and Gregory Ellwood are here to give you the breakdown and wonde...

Drag Race Philippines Season 4 continues as the queens keep Misua in their hearts and focus on the crown. This week's episode was a three-look back to school themed ball. Some looks were great! Some not so great! The good news is Maureen Biology and Bhorj Gum were able to show their talents and Andy Crocker faced Dixxxy Decoy in a lip sync for their lives. Join your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Gre...

Only one can receive the "Royale" crown handed over by - surprise - Drag Phillipines: Slaysian Royale winner Brigiding! Who will Taiga Brava and Lolita Banana pick? And will the lip sync for the crown be too close to call? Plus the returning, er, pre-recorded finale runways of the eliminated quee...

Your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey are here to discuss one of the most emotional episodes of any Drag Race franchise ever. The second episode of Drag Race Philippines season four was meant to be a fun girl group challenge. The song and performances were stellar, but it all occurred in the midst of the untimely passing of Misua, a contestant from Cagayan de Oro. We ref...

Against other Drag Race seasons, the Philippines have an advantage. What is it? "... advantage." Another wonderful season is upon and although we are keenly aware of the passing of Misua, we are treated to a joyful premiere episode full incredible talents, a truly mixed runway, and popping personalities and pre-set drama ready to go.

Your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey are ready to knock out the makeover which features the return of almost all the eliminated queens. Was Alexis Mateo robbed?

This time around RuPaul's Drag Race UK is doing a spoof on the musical Chicago titled "Croydon: The Rusical - Live"! And we're not sure anyone really flopped, but Delta Quadrant and Paris Baby are in the bottom in a dramatic l...

We are finally nearing the end of a wild and unusual Drag Race season. Horacio is gone, and an improv challenge awaits us all. How does it go? It's a mixed bag, but the Top 2 don't ask to be replaced to do the lip sync, meaning that a real battle wears out. What does special guest Supremme de Luxe have to say about this? Only one way to find out. Follow us on Instagram: @ worldwideteadragracepodca...

What a lip snatch! But we move on from an incredibly bad design challenge to one of the worst Snatch Games of recent memory. But what is most striking is the drama. Storylines upon storylines. KY Kelly being offended by everyone. The Delta Quadrant showing she's more than the character. Flesh ... continuing to just be there. What's your take? Who *truly* won? Who *truly* lost? We must know, friend...

Drag queens? How about a drag KING? A wonderful promo set and a limited bag of available fabric patterns means we have a fascinating group of queens this season and a couple very thirsty wigs. As always, hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey give their snap judgements and provide some additional research beyond the promo to maybe point to the ultimate question: who's winning the season? Follow us on...

Drag Race Mexico Latina Royale puts on an all-time found materials design challenge where no one should have gone home! But the bigger drama was Mariana Stars and Eva Blunt trying to get out of...winning. Their excuse? They worked all night and weren't ready for the lip sync. Like Alexis Mateo, we can only laugh...or maybe cry? Will Horacio or Matraka go home when everyone should be safe? Your Wor...

Art Simone makes a strange lip sync for the win choice! Vybe is just...

RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 8 puts on a design challenge ball with some of the worst looks we've seen in years. ma_danni_x has a grandma moment with The Delta Quadrant, Paris Baby gets camera time, Mocha is sailing, but Lucky Roy Singh brings the drama leaving due to "illness" ... or did she? Plus: we dive into the big news of Drag Race UK leaving the BBC, what that means for everyone and if the...

We are now halfway through Drag Race Mexico Latina Royale and Marina Stars is still here! She's made franchise history for being in the bottom five straight episodes, but for this Rappin' Roast - sorry The Girl's Diss Track Challenge - she soars. So does Matraka, Horacio, and Regina Voce. But Eva Blunt? Xunami Muse? Uh-oh. Alliances are strengthened, there may be factions among the remaining Mexic...

We're down to the second to last episode of Drag Race Down Under versus the World and your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Evan Sawdey and Gregory Ellwood have got some big questions with the finale right around the corner. But it's the makeover episode and LaLa Ri might have given us one of the worst partner mugs ever? Michael Marouli demonstrates the continuing influence of Jimbo, Vybe has hairline...

RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 8 is finally here and while we now know it will be the last BBC produced season (more on that next week), we're still going by the mantra that the even-numbered seasons are better than the odd-numbered ones. And judging from our reactions to Flesh, The Delta Quadrant, Coral-Hole Mandi, Naya Thorn, Alik, Paris Baby, and Mocha, this might actually prove that theory right...
