Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

The season has been no stranger to feuds, even passive aggressive ones started through mirror messages, but this week it’s between the queens and a sombreroed Ross Mathews with a compromised larynx. Or is the feud really between director Cheyenne Jackson and his leading man/unofficial AD? Then of course there’s Lexi vs Lexi’s idea of Suzie, and apparently Sam and Lydia never liked each other? Lana...

A Bachelorette, a Housewife, a Royal and Zac Efron’s brother manage to survive a self-destructing turret of Traitors picking each other off and spiraling out week after week, then band together to bring an uplifting and triumphant end to the season. Carolyn easily won the reality TV game, but Gabby’s cultural impact, Dolores’s 11th hour redemption, Ivar’s strategy for survival and Dylan’s side ene...

The girls are spiraling over a lineup for this week’s Villains Roast, and plot twist, the biggest villain in the room is in their heads. But upside, Lexi continues to breathe fresh and also totally unfiltered air into her workroom interactions, to say nothing of her prop work or those nails. Meanwhile Arrietty pouts to an inevitable conclusion, Sam gets the good friend award, Onya cooks despite a...

It's the third design challenge of the season, this time not inspired by a board game or garbage, but by iconic fashion designer Betsey Johnson (Not to be confused with another famous American upholsterer)! We're very in our 40s this episode, so not too much on our formative pleasures like Crocodile Mile, but we also dig into Lana's delusion of self-awareness, our love of Lexi, and why it was mayb...

Gabby gets gaggy at this week's roundtable, perhaps in honor of Carolyn, in what is potentially Danielle's swan song. That is, unless we have to wait a whole week to find out Ivar finally went home. Will Brittany repeat history by making it? Will we ever find out who the Seer is? We'll just have to tuck in our shirts and keep our arms down till next week's finale. Become a Matreon at the Sister Ma...

The Snatch Game comes early this season, giving us eleven reasons to wonder if this challenge needs to finally be blanked. Luckily we get Lexi as Gilbert Gottfried as Lexi as Gilbert Gottfried, Onya on the ball, Alyssa Edwards in the hot seat, Ru openly criticizing Lana’s performance mid-game and a talking butt plug. The runway feels very pointed and Quinta Brunson nails the balance of funny and f...

Act Three of the season has begun, and this week is admittedly Sandoval heavy, but maybe that just means he’s out next week. Sam emerges with a good idea at breakfast, Gabby’s social media has propelled her to BSA status and Dylan is following the producer playbook. Danielle should be shaking in her boots at this point, aside from all that other shaking she’s doing.  Become a Matreon at the Sister...

Ding dong, the don is DONE! But first, a wedding full of uninvited guests and some iconic goggles. Carolyn wields a fork with a carrot on it at one point, Sam and Ivar briefly play badminton and sort of make for a cute couple, and Tom looks like he wants to sell you molly out of the back of his Geo Tracker. Brittany holds her own at the roundtable and keeps everyone on topic, which is to get the l...

On man’s trash is another queen’s runway outfit for this week’s unconventional materials challenge/ball inspired by ocean pollution. Lexi encounters a potential outer saboteur, Crystal gives a bit of Sea Girt, Kori goes Katy and Lana finally gets some feedback. We go down a Techserv rabbit hole at one point. Samanonya! Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Canada's Drag R...

Carolyn Wiger eats Cheerios with a fork this week! And while we lose Bob H. in head to toe Thom Browne, Danielle is making such a mess for herself, Tom Sandoval has some more sweaty theories, we have LOTS of feelings about Wes, and Derrick is going full CSI on Boston Rob, who is an eerie reminder of life outside the castle. Sam wears a headband this week and may be this season’s Purple Kelly.  Bec...

Well hardy har, Mary, it’s another episode of RDR. On the plus side, we get the recognition that cigarette moms deserve (and a future episode dedicated to the topic), RuPaul gives it some of her all as the musical guest and Paul W Downs is more than just a pretty face. We have tangents on lesbian voice, another important Rue and this season’s parallels to Season 5, we’re concerned for a certain ro...

The Traitors are continuing to act like traitors this week with Danielle and Rob vying for most suspicious while Queen Carolyn eats cereal in an impeccable blue pantsuit. Bob Harper couldn’t look sharper, Ivar is turning the straights, Dolores is the last wife in the house, and tragedy befalls the Bambis, which is fitting given their namesake. By the way, Sam is still there.  Become a Matreon at t...

If we don’t make these references into songs and then create a commercial for a compilation album of said songs, we lose these references. Meanwhile, Joella is creating new references, Michelle is coming for trademarks and we have a lot to say about doulas.

Bob the Drag Queen rattles the Cage Boys this week and sends Boston Rob into Terminator mode. Meanwhile Dolores and Dylan are thick as thieves, Bob Harper has a heartfelt moment, Nikki gives Wes a smackdown, Tom is wide-eyed and blind, and Carolyn and Danielle need to talk.  Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada,...

Queens are passing Go this week to collect $5,000 for this season’s Monopoly sponsored design challenge. Speaking of monopolizing things, Joella has an entire dynasty at risk if she doesn’t turn this beat around. Onya gets on Sparkles’ last nerve over some lost trim, Hormona is caught in an attempted jewel heist, Lexi unravels, and Sam makes her grandma proud. Meanwhile Lucky, well, isn’t.  Become...

We’re queening out on roundtables instead of runways as we kick off our coverage of Season 3 of The Traitors US! This week we have two dozen reality television personalities (and a royal of sorts!) to catch up on and even say goodbye to over the first three episodes. Plus some early predictions, immediate favorites (shield Bob Harper!), and what we think will happen next to this season’s completel...

If you like lip syncs to original tracks and death drops, you’re just gonna love this episode. 33 year old Auntie Grandma Lexi skates circles around these nepo babies, but Onya has us hanging on her every word and Kori’s ice cube gives good clatter. The runway has something to do with cake or butts but two Marie Antoinettes is officially two too many for Michelle. That Doechii lip sync alters our...

Season 17’s Got Talent, the X Factor and a Voice (even if it’s mostly via a lip sync track) as we kick off a brand new season. The workroom is full of charisma (big librarian vibes, a couple gay cousins, a Jersey boy), and also Katy Perry shows up. We’re seeing Starzz already and feeling a lot of Lexi love, and Ru’s wig in that video message has some stories to tell.  Become a Matreon at the Siste...

And a ho ho ho! To celebrate this holiday week, we’re putting out an OnlyMarys deep dive into this YouTube Christmas classic .But first let me explain something to you, we got too many depends back here and we don’t care about you NOR Antoine.

The queens of Season 5 are indeed going off. We kick things off this time around with a music video that, perhaps with time, will age into camp territory. Taking a page from the book of Brooke, we’re discussing our roses and thorns of the episode and this cast. And also briefly the career of Courtney Thorne-Smith. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Canada's Drag Race t...

Given the impending election, spooky season has officially been extended this year. And what better way to celebrate than with a deep dive into the all-American nightmare that is 1974’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”!  Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Drag Race UK this season, plus Global All Stars, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Unde...
