The Grand Finale of Drag Race Espana S5 is here, but first we catch up on last week's pre-taped reunion, which was...fine!

But our four finalists have a pajama party, spend valuable time getting emotional in front of a mirror and film one of the...

Few could've...

Before we even get started with covering the amazingly bland new season of Drag Race UK, there's new of the upcoming Canadian judging panel, certain winners of other celebrity-based UK competition shows, and much more.

Are the fans turning on this season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK? They might be, especially after this week's episode where the queens put on a Talent Show and the judging was, to say the least, curious.
