I have rarely been a fan of reality TV as I feel most of it has been done to death. Whether or not the bachelor picks the best girl from a troop of plastic gold diggers or the model/singer/actress contestant on the island manages to snatch the immunity idol from Queen Hula Hula's volcanic hot springs, it rarely captures my attention or interest. Of course, this changes when it's all drag queens camping it up for a camera, being bitchy to each other, etc.
RuPaul's Drag Race has been a lot of fun to watch. It's a fairly inexpensive production, but I think it is interesting to see what these guys go through for drag. I even stayed up late last night to catch the third episode. I already have my favorite picked out and the one I hate picked out. I guess I can see the appeal of some reality TV.
I also enjoy the guest judges they bring on board each episode to help sort out the divas from the mess. Last night was
Howard Bragman (right), a gay public relations pro, whose bearish good looks was a stark contrast to the glitz and glam on the runway. I wont spoil who got bumped last night for the TiVo crowd, but I will say that I thought it weird that Logo had the bumpee listed on their website for the show a few hours before it aired.
