This week the queens have to work in teams to create a cohesive collection to present on the runway. Their materials? Things mama Ru has Marie Condoed from different rooms in her house! Did you know Rupaul has a disco room!? You do if you watched her AD video... Garments are made, queens are thrown under buses, and the Drag Race franchise proves once again that if it were an Olympian, it'd probably be Tonya Harding.

Much like Sabrina Carpenter, and how one of these podcasters takes their espresso, this episode is Short n Sweet. Do you have a lot to say about Global All Stars? That's what we thought. Find out who we thought was giving us a real buzz this episode, how we take our coffee, and why we're crying over spilled greek yogurt (they can't all be coffee jokes.)

Cheerio and welcome back to Drag Race UK!! In this season premiere we discuss the new queens, their talents, and figure out which queen truly shows us if life really is a Cabaret. Bliebe, reste, stay and listen to us talk about this brand new season! (Please note due to technical difficulties, this episode came out strangely in the audio quality department.)

In the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom, Steven cashes in his doctor's note to be excused from this season and leaves David and Joe to talk about RuPaul's Global All Stars Snatch Game of Love. The roughest challenge on a season that's aggressively rough? What could go wrong? What about cultural insensitivity and King Kong in the year of our lord 2024! Oh bother. Then the girls serve us dinner as the runway theme is - brace yourselves - food from your country! Makes me want a hot dog real bad. Join us as we explore the tops, flops, and drops of this season.

And to think, this is the first time Steven is sober in three episodes! David makes their triumphant return as they come in to celebrate everyone's second favorite kind of cock, cocktails! Okay, that joke might've been too blue, sorry. But the bois talk about cocktail dresses, the mysteries around the suitcases the queens brought, and more! Tune in now and let us know: What's something pretty like you doing in a season like this?

Woe be upon us as we continue to crawl our ways out of the hot, sunny, blistering heat of Los Angeles and try to bring you entertainment from a boulder of unpleasantness known as RuPaul's GAS! I'm sorry, I meant Global All Stars. This week the girls are given hilarious (questionable) scripts that are parodies of classic films and also sequels to Barbie, but everyone gets Jimbo's breast plate because we learned nothing from Veronica Scone I suppose! Meanwhile, Joe and Steven try to keep the boat afloat and by Joe and Steven I mean Joe because Steven is WHAT? Inebriated.

The inmates are running the asylum as David takes a break (because he HAD A FREAKIN' WEDDING AND IS TIRED DAMMIT) so Steven and Joe are left to their own devices, but sadly after a computer malfunction they had to get together after some drinking and re-record this episode! Oh no, it's very silly!!! While the bois slur their way through the latest episode of RuPaul's Global All Stars, the girls are put into groups and told to make a girl group by writing original lyrics to the song Everybody Say Love. Are any of them good? Will Alyssa continue to be the unintentional villain of the season? Will Nihelenia get her moment?! Find out on this latest episode of This Toxic Fandom! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go back to sleep and get rid of this hangover...

The top four of Canada Vs The World get their portraits done, recap this palette cleanser of a season, and dive into a Lip Sync for the Crown where it could be anyone's game! But it belongs to Lemon, let's not be silly, here. The bois meanwhile dive into how much fun this season was and how great it is when you have a cast with great chemistry and a narrative that makes any of our top four a viable heir to Rajah Davenport O'Hara's crown! Will the crown go back to Canada, or will it remain somewhere else in the commonwealth?

For some reason that can only be chalked up to poor planning and/or intentional villainy, they decide to do a ball in episode two with THIRTY SOMETHING LOOKS. Glad to know poorly planning international trips isn't just a me problem! The girls are given a James Bond-inspired challenge where they have to make super spies and their octopussy is on fire! Well, some of them. Some of them just wrap themselves in fabric and put on a good wig and call it a day. The bois talk about runways, international travel, and how much they stan Canada. Hey, the finale comes out Friday, so make sure you tune in for that!

Leave it to the Canadians to look at two of the hardest challenges that queens do every season and go "Hey, what if we combined the two?" While we experience some technical difficulties, the bois go into what makes a good and a bad choice, what is so damn funny about saying Cheryl like she bit your finger in an aughts viral video, and why Joe is wrong about How Far I Go not being a good lipsynch song YES JOE I CONTINUE TO CALL YOU OUT HERE IN THE COPY! Want context for this nonsense? Give it a listen now!
