Drag Race is finally giving us what we asked for
One thing about RuPaul’s Drag Race is that there will be discourse. With such a massively popular show, it’s a bit inevitable that almost every action (or inaction) by RuPaul and the show’s producers cause conversation.
Last week, Marcia Marcia Marcia complained about the show no longer requiring queens to sing for the Rusical (amongst other grievances.) The fandom rose up and cried foul pretty much unanimously when the show was shortened to hour-long episodes and the series later uploaded them at their full length.
Well, there’s a chance season 16 is also an answer to a long running complaint. For this week’s Mini Challenge, RuPaul has the girls do “spit takes.” Yes, that is just like it sounds: RuPaul will give them a comedic line or two as they drink water, and the contestants are expected to spit the water while laughing.
Which … I guess this would be a very good skill to have if you want a cameo in someone’s screwball comedy. But, for the Maxi Challenge we are back to the Singer sewing machines.
