RuPaul's Drag Race

[kybearfuzz]

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.

My favorites are Bebe Zahara Benet and Nina Flowers, they just seem different, though I think Benet has the best chances. My least favorites are Shannel and Akashia. Shannel is just an arrogant bitch and needs to be knocked down and Akashia thinks she has more talent than she does. I honestly think I could walk down the catwalk in heels better! She clomps down that runway like she's walking on soup cans!

And the guest judge has some photos out there that are less appealing, I think he's handsome in person and just doesn't take a great photo normally.
