Alexis' ability to leave Darby absolutely speechless is incredible

[@ollibrackstone63]

Excuse me Darby??? This hair!!! This dress!

[@beevonerd]

But also the makeup is stunnn.

[@ozaiassanttos7357]

Greek goddess

[@hyperbalIlad]

AND THAT MUG???

[@samimajid9909]

and the MUG???????????? FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC-

[@SuZ4242]

She kinda looks like my auntie who woke me up around 3 a.m. back in the early 1960s, coming home from an evening of "smart cocktails"... as she stumbled to the potty in her falling off high heels... 😳 slightly triggering 🤣

[@rotten5911]

the editors deserve an oscar for editing out the 11th queen because we didn't notice she even existed.

[@Reen-91]

Alexis St Pete has been the supporting act for all the drag race girls for a good few years across the UK it’s so nice to see her on the season. She is a SICKENING performer! I can’t wait to see her slay a lip sync 🤩

[@jakesws934]

“No.. a large disaster” 🤣🤣🤣

[@sedderaside]

Officially going by the name to Sedara Side from now on

[@joshuamichael2421]

"Double Sui's" Omfg lolol

[@lemonz1769]

My goodness you two are crankin these episodes out! Thank you for keeping us entertained 😘

[@adnan7956]

35:46 me and Alexis have exactly the same humour because why have I been laughing for 7 minutes

[@GothBoyUK]

The first episode was supposedly filmed during DragCon UK so the guest queens were already together 'under the control' of World of Wonder. Plus Ru really seems to love Sminty (she's an icon). In the UK we got an after show hosted by Danny Beard with Cheddar Gorgeous as a guest. Don't know if that was available internationally officially.

[@xingcat]

Darby being scandalized by Alexis' dirty mouth (or gagslit) always makes me laugh.

[@soofanys]

32:49 i can't stop replaying this part alexis kills me 😭😭😭

[@DaddySeri]

kzbin.infoUgkxDhgDTjsQr4h_WKKF2cR8Ig6RBma3QgJu?si=EDHgTWs_gZKFrA43

[@fizzinmyashe6481]

Darby looks INCREDIBLE. That hair is stunning.

[@nickneuharth]

Now for the last song in our act we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a row: one, two, three, four, splits, back-flips, Double Suies, one right after the other 😂😂

[@Benbenbenbenbenbenbenben1]

My favourite line from Cara Melle was 'Oh Pangina, Pangina, Pangina, I'll give you something to cry about! Love her. Love you two too, great episode x

[@Kyrazi]

All these drag race franchises got me spoiled on IMHO i am OBSESSED ❤❤❤

[@ranstakarry]

I'm with Alexis on always having subtitles on but for different reasons

[@miraza.]

philippines ended this week but italia is about to start but after it may slow down a bit (i think recently it‘s been 4/week but it‘s still a lot)

[@Xcranial]

The way darby has done her nose makeup today makes it look like shes wearing some kind of nose cover that stops above the nostrils and i cant unsee it

[@Beds98]

As a British viewer just to say it was club Tickety-boo, which is a pretty outdated saying in England which means all okay, or running without issue, similar to ‘a-okay’ And also the queens that guests appeared were there for dragcon UK hence the assortment of queens ! Just thought I’d drop some extra knowledge from across the pond!

[@ChristianStran]

Alexis continuing singing “ten is an excellent number” while Darby goes on talking 😅😂

[@DatVideoDoe]

Alexis! Same subtitled boat! I watch EVERYTHING with subtitles. I don’t need them most of the time (and they can sometimes give spoilers which isn’t fun) but they overall enhance the experience. It’s especially helpful when eating! Sometimes that internal chewing can block out sound and I hate pausing and rewinding.

[@radlee974]

On Reddit someone described the queens who dropped in as: 2 winners, 2 hosts, 2 runner ups, and Sminty Drop. lol

[@Eli8411]

I caught one glimpse of that one girl when they were leaving the stage and also in untucked but other than that the editors did a great job

[@nicklay6245]

Darby looks absolutely gorgeous in this outfit. I have always thought yellow and gold are her colors.

[@mynameiskrysta]

You could see the hair of the girl that got edited out, it was a big pageant-y blonde helmet with a dark root, she was on the left side of the stage directly behind whoever was lip syncing i forgot

[@cloudy_dreams99]

The grouping isnt that random you've got 2 winners 2 host and 2 runner ups and sminty

[@crunchevo8974]

Honestly Sminty deserved ot lol she has some of the best looks in her season

[@HeatherPhetish]

i only ever catch clips on tiktok. im so glad i discovered the YT channel! I havent laughed that much in so long!

[@samuelelder8051]

Alexis' laugh never fails to make me cackle

[@indypoos]

Alexis's laugh is so infectious, gets me everytime😊 love u guys so much! I look forward to your videos to help wind me down from my god awful work days ❤

[@RemusHolt]

Cara melle is my winner not only because she’s gorgeous not only because she’s talented but also because I love her confidence (also “kneel for your goddess” is the hottest drag race entrance line ever)

[@SMAnthonyW]

Vicki and Cara Melle are easily my top 2 for this season. They're both fierce in different ways. Tomara also stands out to me, she seems like a good time gal....

[@scottsummers4234]

2 winners, 2 hosts, 2 runners-up and Sminty 😂

[@gabormolnar2208]

Have you ladies seen an older TV seried called Drag Queens of London? Baga Chipz and Vicki Vivacious were both in it, its like a docu series about the london drag scene.

[@rami3224]

All of those random visiting queens from past seasons were there for Drag Con UK, so they production called over anyone in the area. ALSO DOUBLE SUIE???????? lmao

[@angel294volcom]

Alexis P. Bevels!!! You blew my mind by pronouncing “Seddara Side” correctly!! Like i fully have been saying it wrong this whole time

[@dylangabriel910]

Darby this hair is AMAZING on you! Love the full look with the earrings too

[@DJDiegoGarcia]

Just stumbled upon your channel by a friend's recommendation on Drag Race Brasil and I am obsessed! I also love when you guys whisper. Did you guys thought of doing ASMR videos? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Kisses from Berlin. 😘

[@alejandrodelacerda5164]

This has been an amazing day and this video has made it better 🙂

[@petitforgeron7507]

35:20 i'm fucking crying tearing up alexis is unhinged i can't🤣

[@susandworkin6200]

Thanks for bringing me JOY!

[@TheFloon]

Randon thoughts while watching: I can't wait to see more of Tomara performing. She was great in Eurovision this year (Semifinal 2 interval act in case you wanna look it up, you'll need a VPN in the US) and she got to be front and center for a good chunk of it. NGL, I think Darby would look fucking incredible in Banksy's runway look. Double sui'eys took me the fuck OUT. Ginger Johnson could GET IT. He seems like such a sweetheart on top of it too. This entire section around the patronus stuff just confirmed that Alexis is exactly that girl I thought she was, and I love her for it.

[@Useless_lumps_of_plastic]

28:25 “mountain of sex people” 😂😂😂

[@gimmebackmyarm]

"GAG SLIT" 😂😂😂 I'm using that

[@bbz_bbz_bbz]

“Weebles wobble but they don’t fall over”

[@Spooky5000thaTuffGhost]

I'm pretty certain the random collection of returning queens in the audience, where all in town for UK Drag Con around the time the episode was filmed.

[@monsterm10]

i heard somewhere that they filmed this around drag con uk, so thats why that group of queens was there for the club challenge lol

[@peterf8789]

Ginger Johnson is really that sweet in real life! And an incredibke host, comedienne, seamtress and general nutbag. So glad you gals love her!

[@tomaszwojtasik5483]

This episode was pure chaos in the best way

[@Reen-91]

Also a side note, if you look out for it you will start to notice a lot of the dialogue is added post production and not on camera because of the queen that left

[@CarlosRodriguezJr13]

OMG the Levi and large disaster bit should be a TikTok on its own! Had me cackling

[@kevinwalton3978]

😂😂😂 Darby your nose distracted me the whole episode then you spooked me with the hairy legs at the end

[@ImAdamNotAdz]

I know Ginger personally and can confirm she is the sweetest person and incredible energy.

[@dustynjeffrey4126]

The reason for the selection of Ru girls being there for the entrance judging is because they were all already in the UK for a tour event that was goin on atm there.

[@logolafferty8902]

Will you two be doing Dragula season 5? Meet Our Monsters just dropped today and the season starts October 31st!

[@nickneuharth]

I’m excited!!! Looks like a good cast

[@Peace2Mateo]

Fantasia Royale Gaga alone yes

[@emilymarch8209]

they liked the message so maybee i hope so

[@antlvrs]

miss naomi carter was the first queen i ever saw perform, absolutely phenomenal, her and cara mell ftw!!

[@astareus]

THE MECHANICS ALONE

[@Mike0660]

They have y’all working overtime! I personally can’t wait for drag race Greenland with extra special guest judge the iceberg from Titanic.

[@xenabena]

Totally get keeping the captions on all the time! I’m always doing a lot while somethings playing so I need them to know what’s going on.

[@emgectro]

Question Darby do u match your starbucks cups to your outfit?

[@laskaweiss]

35:40 Alexis just unalived me

[@chloemagica4056]

Alexis’ laugh sounds like a dog wheezing

[@Celeryfart]

I got ‘international queens in the club’ vibe, like most of them represent the global franchise aspect of drag race? Thailand, France, UK, Canada, US 🤷‍♀️

[@rossanovigna6275]

22:22 that laugh, hahahahah ❣️ OMG

[@bunnylebowski69]

Wasn't even gonna bother with this season but will be watching every episode just so I can watch y'all 😂😂

[@DaddySeri]

Cmon Gag Slit Bevels Lets Get Sickening!

[@JoJo-xb7do]

I completely agree, the sensationlising of Didis wig issue made me cringe. Was bad editing in my opinion.

[@bunnylebowski69]

Babies, I have to correct you & say that when Sminty twerked dressed as a moth in her exit, she won. Every season, every franchise for the rest of eternity.

[@NemesisLacroix]

Y'all look SO f-ing pretty this episode

[@katebutch8306]

the ONLY review that matters

[@silverduet8848]

im a vet in rehab im constantly watching your videos makes my day laughing with you 2 tysm !

[@jonnycrandell7328]

I want Darby to try the new Trixie liner and give us the tea about it

[@rubyk.1506]

Gurrrlll! We gotta appreciate the international franchises❣ It's good for us to listen to other languages, kids! I have to say that after 'Nipple Gate' on DRDU 3, I'm a bit over Michele and Ru being prudes about seeing boy nipples! Please! Still love mama Ru but I do enjoy Supremme or Grag Queen or Nicky or Rita in other really fun and creative franchises... Just sayin', also, love y'all!

[@traceyg2703]

Agreed ( regarding the Itn'l franchise hostesses )! I'm obsessed with Valentina hosting DR Mexico, ( she and Lola Banana have really sweet chemistry as co-judges ). I also Love Barbie Breakout on the Germany show. It does involve some extra "work" doing subtitles, but well worth the amazing drag talent viewing experience.

[@rubyk.1506]

Yes, oui, sí, Ja!❣ @@traceyg2703

[@evanpal1205]

these wigs are really the ones

[@milesmelrose]

God Alexis’s Harry Potter bit made me laugh so hard

[@jacc.00]

“i’m slightly colorblind so i’m gonna say red” took me OUT

[@Nuuccii92]

how those queens came together... Drag Con UK and who didn't have to fly off right after.

[@andi.correia]

Just checking if their comments on DRUK will be that rough as Drag Race Brasil comments was 😅

[@MrMadscotsman]

Cosmo & Town and Country

[@mondaynightballroom20]

"Tell me how all of these queens are related." Availability.

[@leoschenk2466]

You're judging these queens like you're judging the kids of Junior Eurovision. Way too kind! 😂

[@rextrek]

60th Heyy Darby & Alexis P ... the P stands for Pumpkins in October ...... LOve your Lewk Darby / Im see'n Morgan Fairchild circa 80's mWAHHAAA! xo :) interesting you picked out tha moments when that guest judge said that to RU......I also thought it Probably Bothered RU.....

[@Melissaheartt]

I looooove telling the early 20somethings that their brains aren’t fully developed lmaooo yas Darby

[@MyCrunchyPodcast]

Cam here for double suis lmfaoooo

[@jamestord6480]

Gag slit..........Alexis, dear god please never EVER change.

[@blvkex]

Anytime y’all talk about your age I just look in amazement at how great y’all look. Like absolutely STUNNING! No disrespect intended at all but I genuinely thought y’all were like mid 20s

[@emgectro]

It was all the queens who were already at dragcon uk

[@josephinejones9392]

innit babes

[@faferreirav]

girls where is the react from brazil new ep? i’m so excited to see what u gonna say PLEASEEEEE

[@ahmedfawadashraf4714]

Great job girls. Banksy and Butch please!

[@kam_erdgeist2479]

K-drama question: have you watched “The Eighth Sense”? If not, highly recommend.

[@spencerknight2650]

Alexis holding in a yawn is always my favourite scene -- love my under-rested queen 😍

[@moby1603]

I understand the queens don't always know what order they'll end up wearing all their outfits, so they may accidentally wear two similar things in a row. But we all know this information. So why not plan each outfit to have different silhouettes, colors, themes, etc.

[@jhubeJELLO]

ILL never be able to look at a squirrel again

[@Jazz41173]

Weebles wobble. But they don't fall down.

[@foster2095]

I thought y'all were british the whole time :0

[@MartySantiago350]

Feel like everybody assumed Dede would be mean so they immediately ascribed negative intent to her responding to somebody’s question. She wasn’t trying to tear anybody down. And the way people treated her like she was playing mind games just because she was worried she was in the bottom and asked to say who she thought else was in? Not cool

[@RiDsTeR90]

Subtitles = you can eat crunchy food and watch 👍🏾🤣

[@lacyfortman9875]

You two both look exceptionally beautiful here! Alexis your hair and lipstick colors are perfect for you and the neckline and color of this top is very flattering! Darby that gold top is gorgeovus and look great with that hair almost the same shade.That hair is really sexy, I love this wig! Just wanted to drop a compliment because just wanted to drop a compliment because you both look great tonight! So purty 🤓

[@WayneGlass1]

I wonder how they are going to edit out that girl’s elimination.

[@joaorodrigues7993]

alexis' patronus being a squirrel actually makes sense, the next time she talks about it she'll say she can also fit multiple nuts in her mouth
