In the latest episode of
Drag Race Down Under, our Aussie queens introduced the world to the grand old gross tradition of shoeys.
In the werkroom, the Aussie queens began chatting about the humbly disgusting shoey. The kiwi queens had no idea what they were on about and so the heels were whipped out for a demonstration.
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh Drag Race Down Under is as close as I’ll get to being able to return for quite some time. Shoey’s, sheepshagging references, crass humour misunderstood by Americans… just like being home. #RuPaulsDragRaceDownUnder#dragracedownunder
Drag Race Down Under delivers its first shocking elimination of the series
Drag Race Down under is back and it’s jam-packed with Snatch Game laughs and a shocking elimination.
The episode started off with the queens entering the werkroom after JoJo Zaho’s elimination. After they reflected on their first challenge and runway, the contestants dived back into competition mode.
The next day, the queens arrived in the workroom with competitive attitudes and their eyes on the prize. After participating in an impromptu “shooey”, the contestants got interrupted by pop music legend, Kylie Minogue.
“Hey Racers it’s me, RuPaul, doing my very best Kylie Minogue imitation, which I have to say is not bad at all,” Minogue joked.
Where there any laughs? Yes, thankfully there were some moments of hilarity among the mess. Elektra Shock sounded nothing like Catherine O’Hara, but she gave her performance such a manic energy that it was kind of great, Maxi Shield’s Magda Szubanski was pretty on-point, but Anita Wigl’it’s Queen Elizabeth was far and away the best.
But overall, pretty boring? Scarlet Adams and Art Simone aspirationally celebrated it as “one of the strongest snatch games ever”, but I think they might revise that when they watch it back. But no matter! As Dannii Minogue so kindly reminded the queens, don’t dwell on it: bring your A-game for your next performance.
G’day friends, it’s Sunday! Welcome back to our
RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under recaps, that we have appropriately titled ‘rucaps’, because we’re geniuses. This week’s episode was the SNATCH GAME!! The moment we’ve all been waiting for!! I know you have a lot of thoughts, and so do I, so let’s dive right in.
The first point of order is to mourn the loss of our beloved First Nations queen, and bonafide daddy
Jojo Zaho. She added so much character and wit to the season, and honestly, you can already feel her absence in the werkroom.
The line-up for Snatch Game on RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under has arrived early!
The next episode of the spin-off will see first-time impressions of several iconic celebrities, a few of which have been fervently championed by fans over the years, including Dolly Parton, Jennifer Coolidge and Catherine O’Hara.
World of Wonder released an exclusive photo from the set of the fan-favourite maxi challenge, which shows Karen from Finance take on the legendary country superstar and Scarlet Adams as the Legally Blonde and A Cinderella Story actress.
Elektra Shock also dons a signature look of O’Hara’s critically-acclaimed Schitt’s Creek character Moira Rose.
