I hate to say it, but Tyra and her America's Next Top Model has taken a back seat for a while with me. I do love her, after all she is a tall, Amazonian, strong woman (my ideal if ever there was!), but, as the title of this post suggests, Rupaul has stolen my heart (again). Let's face it, as tall, Amazonian, strong 'women' go, Ru is most definitely up there. And with his new season of Drag Race in full force, there's no other show for me at the moment.
A mixture of ANTM and Project Runway with added glitz, glam and better frocks, Rupaul's Drag Race really is compelling viewing! It is, obviously, tongue in cheek, however there are the same kind of emotional stories behind the contestants as there are on ANTM, and still a substantial cash prize for the winner.
As you can imagine with a room full of inflated egoed queens, there are enough amusing tantrums and bitchy comments flying around to keep you entertained forever, plus Ru's infectious sayings ("Gentlemen, start your engines... and let the best woman win" and "It's time to lip-sync for your life. And remember, don't fuck it up!") and laugh make it a show you can't miss out on!
Ru really IS the Queen of TV at the moment. It makes me want to don the heels and wig... again (oops!).
Check out this little mash up of the best bits...
