Sorry, Tia, but youre ropy.

I have a feeling were going to need them.

I was shocked when season one of the show didnt feature even one Scottish queen.

And Tayce is not only Welsh, but a Welsh person of color.

What are they going to find next season?

A unicorn from the Isle of Man?

She is already my favorite.

Tia jokes that she is going to give us a reveal, but there is no reveal.

Well, at least shes funny.

She tells us she doesnt care about looking good, and, well, it shows.

She tells us shes a vegan, which we should know because she never stops going on about it.

A vegan who wont stop talking about her dietary choices?

We are four queens in, and this is already the second boy who has a highlighter-hued mullet.

I am very scared.

Add that to Lawrences Eraserhead-at-the-beach boy haircut, and the results are pretty awful.

In fact, there isnt one queen in this whole season who has good boy hair.

I would like to blame the pandemic, but I dont think I can.

Imagine seeing that on the other side of a glory hole.

Also this whole episode and not oneMeet Joe Blackjoke?

This all makes me sad because there is a zero-sum chance Veronica was alive in the 80s.

Anyway, she is basically the nonproblematic Azealia Banks, and I am here for it.

Finally, we have AWhora with her inexplicable apostrophe and equally inexplicable orange face makeup as a boy.

The mini-challenge is the standard photo shoot with the queens that never results in very good pictures.

This one is Wimbledon-themed, and the girls have to look cute while getting balls thrown at their faces.

You know, just another night in the West End.

Is that a shock?

This is the first episode ofDrag Race.

Arent there always two looks?

Veronicas Boy George is excellent, if not too faithful.

But her soot-inspired makeup and smoke blowing go a long way.

Well, tie me up and drown me inIrn-Bru.

(A Scouse is a person from Liverpool.

No, I dont know why.

Yeah, I know its weird.)

Theyre not going to notice.

Oh, girl, they noticed.

ItsCharlie Hides all over again.

What is up with these British cabaret stars who dont try?
