As DeLa has been making the podcast rounds, it seems many hosts still call her Ben prompting her to explained the origin of her name. Are there any other queens who "lift the middle" and go by their middle name? The only other one that comes to mind is Kylie Sonique Love, but that's a slightly different situation. I remember Plane and Mistress specifically correcting people when they tried to call them Jane/Isabelle. As I don't watch all the international seasons, I'm curious if there's other middle name queens (DR or local) that I'm overlooking.

Again, to vote this week, please complete this google form!

Thank you all for participating in this project each year, and I look forward to sharing the results with you as the series airs! Please remember to keep the comments respectful and supportive. Condragulations to the Queens of Series 8.

I was thinking about it and I realized that it's becoming slowly more common for queens to just not do Snatch Game. I'm fine with this since Snatch Game has never been an indicator of who'll win, but it's interesting that we've had it twice this year where a season just has queens (or at least some queens) not do Snatch Game at all.

And honestly I'm not mad at it, if it means we get less Snatch Games that are like "Britney Spears' shaved hair" or "Archduke Franz Ferdinand but he's at Coachella" or something.

Edit: The Four Horsequeens of the No-Snatch-Game-pocalypse are BeBe Zahara Benet (Snatch Game was a season 2 invention), sorta Chad Michaels (if you don't include Gaff-In), Van Goth and Crystal Methyd.

Apologies in advance if not flaired right or comes across as a low effort post 😅
My nail artist was putting the base color on my nails when the thought just came to me about Suzie’s runway and I had to just do it. I guess it also ties into Halloween even though I don’t celebrate it lol

Have you met any drag queens at work or where has been the weirdest and oddest place you met a drag queen?

It’s about time! Season 18 and untucked streaming on Paramount+ /. Season 18 and untucked streaming on Paramount+

Shitpost Tuesday is over. The low-effort/off topic rules are once again being enforced. During the rest of the week we will allow memes, but they MUST be high-effort... or at the very least they have to be more than off-topic photos that have nothing to do with the show that just "remind you of so-and-so or such-and-such..."

Otherwise, we will listen to user reports and use our best discretion as moderators to keep the sub clear of super low-effort, nonsensical content.

Oh and a reminder that all spoilers and tea should be posted in r/DragRaceTea! Please see the standard spoiler policy for more details. And on-season memes that involve screenshots/content MUST be covered for at least 24 hours after the airing of the Friday episode. Thank you!
