Behind the Screen: RuPaul Drag Race

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Amen! The drama between Coco and Alyssa has gotten so annoying, I wish they'd focus more on other contestants. Hopefully with the preview for the next episode, there will be something interesting going on within Ro-Laska-Tox, since Alaska doesn't want to be associated with them anymore. Roxxxy is starting to irritate me too. She picks on Jinkx a lot and she comes out on the runway with the same thing, showing off her body, every single time. Why does Jinkx get picked on for being too 'campy' while Roxxxy hasn't been critiqued about 'relying on her body' like Carmen Carrera was? All in all though, I'm loving this season. There's no clear winner, at least in my eyes.

I know they focus too much and Coco and Alyssa that I am over it. I agree hopefully Alaska departs from those two like Michelle said there is only one winner. And yes Roxxy is irritating me as well I hope she gets eliminated soon too I hated the fact that she picks on Jinkx like mind your own business and focus on you not others. I wonder if they are bringing an eliminated queen back like past seasons?

I hope they do and it's either Lineysha or Penny. I feel like both of them were cut short of what they were capable of doing. Lineysha was pretty nuts on the snatch game, but her crafting talent is absolutely incredible. I think they were way too hard on Penny too, granted, her lip sync was pretty bad. Everyone else, I felt like it was their time. Or if Jinkx or Ivy somehow get eliminated in before the top 4, one of them. But I'm hoping they're both still there.

Lineysha was not a standout queen for me, she was beautiful but that was it and Penny they might bring her back since the fans voted for her to get on the show. Ivy and Jinkx for the win.

So pretty much now that the season V is over, whom do you think deserves to win the crown?? Personally, Alaska won my vote. I seriously thought she was going to go home the first challenge but she definitely grew on me and prove to America that she's not a Needles duplicate. Also did y'all saw her lipsync, it was beyond sickning!! 1906

Perhaps it's nonsense to you, but to me, this is huge for something like Drag to be entering mainstream society. It's an art form, and I'm so proud of the way that some of these girls are representing the hard work it takes to take on this task. With that said, there's a rumored cast leak for season 6 and that Adore Delano won the contest vote. That matches up with her absence from facebook and twitter for two months. Rumored cast being: April Carrion Darienne Lake Ben Delacreme Bianca Del Rio Gia Gunn Laganja Estranja Courtney Act

Absolutely gorgeous. Agreed. I know Laganja Estranja fairly well, so I'm rooting for her, for sure. Her absence from social media is very similar to Adore's absence. It's safe to say that she's a lock for season 6.

Yasss!!! Adore made it! If you are aware of Danny Noriega's youtube vids, you know hunty is gonna be spilling that T and DRAMA in those confessional interviews. Ugh I just beyond frustrated that we have to wait til January. :(

Oh god yes. I also can't wait for Hedda Lettuce's video introducing all the queens in an ....edited version of each of their intros. All T, all shade! If I find any more cast leaks, I'll post them here. :)

Oh Please do post! By the way I'm disappointed that Hedda Lettuce wasn't invited to the Goddess At Sea, the girls from Throwing Shade got invited to perform and (ironically) they really don't throw SHADE.

There's a rumor swirling around that a past queen returns on season 6. Quite a few names have been tossed around, but have conflicting updates on social media with pictures as proof that they aren't on season 6. That knocks out a lot of the queens eliminated early in the past such as The Princess, Lashauwn Beyond, Venus D Lite, and others. There's a great possibility that if the rumor is true, that it could either be: Jade Sotomayor - makes the most sense to me, someone else updating events on her facebook page with no pictures of her within the same span of time that other season 6 queens were absent - could just be coincidence that her skills makeup-wise and outfit-wise that she's improved greatly since 'returning' to updating regularly. - she's been getting together with a lot of the drag race queens from past seasons, has been going to a lot more events across the nation, and has re-joined the drag race cruise. Alisa Summers - This one, I'm not sure about. There's a span of time similar to the other queens where she didn't update, except maybe once every few weeks. Someone could've been updating for her. There's one update in particular that throws me off, because it's a picture of her with other queens for her birthday. It's possible that the picture is old. Or it's possible that she was eliminated before the final three.

Didn't they do this on season 3? 3 seasons later they do it again well I'm fine if its someone that got eliminated first because we did not get to see the queen's full potential. I really thought Alissa summers was one of the fishiest queens of season 4.

Yep, they brought back Shangela for season 3 after she was first out in season 2. I was hoping at some point they'd bring back either Alisa or The Princess, because I think they both are really talented. Also, Venus D Lite. She's very talented as well.

Ahhhh!!! I can't wait for the trailer there's sooo many queens that outshined during the 'Meet the Queens' segment! IMO My queen to watch this season will be Langaja, drag daughter of Alyssa Edwards!! Also the cattiest ones would be a toss up between ADORE and Bianca and I'm saying this from there YouTube vids. ;)

Anyone excited about this season? I can't wait I don't know why they waited till February to air it. I have a crush on Milk queen damn he's handsome and can we talk about Courtney Act she's fish for days.

I'm living for Bianca Del Rio those phrases she's hilarious I can't wait for her to read those queens. I also like Courtney, Darienne, and Ben De La Creme. Happy that magnolia got the axe on the second episode she was a hot mess, and Vivacious just gave up this past episode she seemed like she didn't tried. Also not really digging the younger queen so far Adore, Laganja, Gia, April, and Gia.

I was wondering when All stars 2 was going to be filmed they said it was airing on the fall so I'm guessing before season 7 airs.

Nah, All Stars 2 hasn't even been casted yet. Should air a few months after Season 7.

That's what I'm thinking.

I'm 90% sure that Season 7 has finished filming, because at least 4 of the queens I suspected to be on this season all confirmed my friend request on facebook within 2 days.  

Asia Persuasia being one of them.
