This week on Drag Race UK it's the makeover challenge! The contestants need to make over members of their family and work with what they almost all already have... Family resemblance. We laugh, we cry (no really, we talk about how we cried, it's an emotional one), we both wish Chara Tea's mum was ours. So grab your fave (or the one you'd most likely makeover) loved one and enjoy this week's episode. It's sure to be a Pope-ular one! (you'll understand when you get to the end of the episode).

Oh what a beautiful mornin! It's time for a Rusical! This week the queens get to star in a brand new Rusical as some of the UKs most influential pop stars on a Top of the Pops parody! Joe and David talk about whether they have faith in Kyran getting another win and if Actavia can spice up her life or not. Regardless, much like the character Marmalade plays, the bitches are back!

We are halfway through the season and finally at the snatch game! This week, the Queen’s have to start the episode by reading the house down boots yassss God… A.k.a. the reading challenge, followed by the snatch game! Is RuPaul being shady by having them do both of these in one Episode let us know in a five star rating in review on Apple podcasts. David and Joe truly have the best time discussing one of the best snach games in a minute.

It's a Halloween treat as we finally finish Global All Stars! Yaaay! No one is satisfied and everyone wants to go home! We talk fashion, we talk lewks, we talk Wicked (because we have a problem), we talk about THE BORE WORMS and make references that Joe doesn't get, and we finally put this season to bed. Here's hoping that if we get GAS again, it'll be with some Tums or something. Join the conversation now with This Toxic Fandom as they say goodbye to RuPaul's Global All Stars!

Monday Oct 28, 2024

David is in London! Joe is in LA! and Pope... will be on the finale of GAS. This week the Queens have to pull out their best anecdotal stories because they're guests on the Graham Norton show! Well, the version that fits on the MainStage. Joe and David tell their own stories, talk about who they'd like to interview, as well as which queens bared their soul, and which queens were barely there. As Bowie says in the lip-sync song, Let's Dance! 

Thursday Oct 24, 2024

While Joe's away, the gays will play as David and Steven discuss a lip-synch smackdown for a consolation prize! All the queens return (again?!) to perform for a $50,000 prize, and each girl has their own reason for fighting it out besides just kinda deserving a consolation prize for being on this season. Meanwhile, David and Steven discuss theatre etiquette (and their lack thereof), the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and how much stuff can fit into a butt. It's a weird one, folks, so tune in and join the fun as we get every closer to ending Global All Stars!

Monday Oct 21, 2024

This week the queens get into two spooky girl groups and have to write their own verses and choreograph to the song "Dead or Alive". In a twist at the end, the girls are actually judged individually instead of as teams shaking up the competition. Which group embodies Scary Spice rather than Spoopy Spice? Was one team All Saints while the other was All Sinners? Joe and David are all Gouls Aloud with their opinions, listen and find out.

HOW HAVE WE HAD TEN WEEKS OF THIS!? The girls are asked to make commercials advertising their home country (or, y'know, where RuPaul THINKS their country of origin is) and then we have weird commercials for Star Trek and Canva! What a world! Meanwhile Steven is back from his break and we're gonna see how many times we can say the not-nice-word-for-gay because apparently it's a food! Hey, United Kingdom, quick question: What the fuck? Join us for a bit of spotted dick and a trip to the clinic in Australia in the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom!

Monday Oct 14, 2024

We're just a podcast sitting in your up next queue asking you to listen to us. It's an acting challenge this week, and the queens are asked to dig deep into their diaries to see if acting actually is in their wheelhouse. They spoof some of the best British (and a few American) Romcoms and on the runway see if they can spin the judges right round with their New Romantics look. Yes, "romance" is in the air, but one of these queens is going to sashay away and find a brand new lover.

Friday Oct 11, 2024

Steven continues to be MIA and now he’s missing the first good episode in a minute! Well that’s fine as David and Joe dive into the obligatory makeover challenge, this time with the remaining girls giving the eliminated queens new looks and new names for some reason! Nehelina finally gets her roses, but will that be enough to stop the reign of the Ru Girls? Find out in this all new This Toxic Fandom!
