RuPaul’s Drag Race S09E04 Good Morning Bitches
The queens join the morning talk show wars; guest judges Naya Rivera and Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman.
This Brooklyn queen follows in the footsteps of such tight lip-syncers as Coco Montrese (season five) and Bob the Drag Queen (season eight). Stare in awe as she tears into Busta Rhymes’ verse on “Look at Me Now.”
A theater queen from New York, Alexis brings a contemporary-to-classic
balance to her work. Previous theater queens like season five champion
Jinkx Monsoon were more old-school.
Giving a little British flair to the proceedings, Charlie is a U.K.
queen. Can she do what Australian Courtney Act couldn’t and become a
foreign America’s next drag superstar?
Drag Race’s first big girl in a couple of seasons (since season eight didn’t feature one), Tennessee queen Eureka brands herself “the elephant queen.”
Farrah is a Vegas queen, following in the footsteps of last season’s
pseudo-villain and Britney Spears impersonator Derrick Barry. Perhaps
she’ll perform as Mariah Carey in this season’s Snatch Game?
Milwaukee’s own Jaymes Mansfield is an active YouTuber — an important quality for success post-Drag Race. Just ask Alaska (All Stars season two winner), Alyssa Edwards (season five), Katya and Trixie Mattel (both season seven). She’s also clearly got a deep knowledge of drag herstory, something Ru loves to see in her girls.
Kimora is another Vegas queen with a strong, breast-first aesthetic. She’s the Instagram star of the bunch.
Atlanta queen Nina Bo’nina Brown is this year’s makeup queen. Her looks range from freaky to fabulous.
Like Sonique (season two), Kenya Michaels (season four) and Monica Beverly Hillz (season five), Peppermint is a trans
queen. Unlike most who have come before her, who came out either during
or after the show, she was out before her season filmed. Will the
series — which has had trouble with trans women in the past — fittingly acknowledge her status?
Yet another New York queen! Sasha’s got looks for days, reminiscent of
season eight’s Acid Betty (also a New Yorker). Will those looks take her
far?
Shea is from Chicago, not New York, and thus we appreciate her. We also appreciate her stunning looks.
Trinity marks one of few queens who shares a name with another former
contestant on the show (along with season one and five’s Jade Sotomayor
and Jade Jolie, and season three and nine’s Alexis Mateo and Alexis
Michelle). Interestingly, she once beat Alyssa Edwards in a pageant. She is also an Orlando queen, thus talk of the Pulse nightclub shooting is almost inevitable.
We already met her,
but for those who haven’t: Valentina is the only Los Angeles queen of
the bunch, and as such will be playing on home turf this season.
Notably, Valentina is a very cute boy out of drag, which is a great way to amass fans of the show. (Just ask season six’s Milk or season seven’s Pearl.)
The queens impersonate celebrities in a quick-witted TV game show and
burn rubber in a latex runway. With guest judge Ross Mathews.
Ten queens return to compete for $100,000 and a place in the Drag Race
Hall of Fame. The first test is to compete in a drag talent show. With
guest judge Raven-Symoné.
Hot off the heels of one of the most electrifying seasons of “RuPaul’s
Drag Race,” Mama Ru will return to the runway for “RuPaul’s Drag Race
All Stars ” Season 2 . YouTube sensation Todrick Hall joins Carson
Kressley and Michelle Visage on the judging panel alongside RuPaul for a
season packed with more eleganza, wigtastic challenges and twists than
Drag Race has ever seen. The new season featuring 10 of the most
celebrated competitors vying for a second chance to enter Drag Race her
story will be filled with plenty of heated competition, lip-syncing for
the legacy, and, of course, the All-Stars Snatch Game. Here is a
Special before the first episode.
Tensions run high as the queens return to discuss the drama of the
season. Plus, both “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and “Miss
Congeniality” are crowned.
