RuPaul’s Drag Race Season-Premiere Recap: It’s a Suzie’s World
It’s times like these that I remember why I love RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Now, that is not to say that this premiere episode was not without its issues: I found Katy Perry excruciating the entire time, the talent show was more than half-filled with forgettable performances, and no contestants stole control of the camera’s eye in the way that Sapphira Cristál, Plane Jane, and Nymphia Wind all did within seconds of first appearing last season. She notes that her drag mom is Irene the Alien, but I do have to wonder if she personally knows Hungry from Berlin, because sometimes, like in her promo look, her makeup is … rather reminiscent of that very signature beat. The runway category is “Masc 4 Masked Singer,” which it took me a while to realize just means “wear a mask.” I’m gonna go through these pretty quickly because intro episodes are a lot.
