IMHO | RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15 Premiere Review!

[@lxos]

I have a theory about the twins. I think that, because they look so good in drag, they do look good out of drag, they're young and popular, people just assume they're arrogant, delusional etc. People expect them to have a Regina George attitude. But in reality they're just two kids that were raised indoors, never got to play with any kids other than themselves and they just got to be really good at something that they got interested in. And they're happy to finally be able to share that interest with people that also do the same. But the act is a little cringy, they gotta polish that.

[@kellygreengables3936]

Totally agreed on this assessment. People are so quick to write of social media queens, especially ones seemingly as privileged (white, young, popular, good looking) that they're bad or lazy or whatever else. Yes they may be a little ditzy but part of that is an act and it doesn't mean they're bad people or bad at drag.

[@vergodagoat]

i wanted to dislike them but they’re honestly so cute. they’re just happy to be there 😭😂

[@billivee]

Whilst I think this assessment is really sweet and generous , I think it’s a little messy to equate looking nice with ‘being really good at something’ Their makeup isn’t particularly refined or skilful, sugars looked crazy particularly the entrance, she’s just nice looking underneath so hides it well.

[@klwoj7961]

this is stupid. they didn't go on the show to connect with other drag queens, they could do that any time living in NY/LA, what was stopping them? they are on the show to get more followers

[@javyjavyjavyjavy]

This is very good observation tbh, and I think Darby/Alexis were correct in calling it a bit of jealousy too. We've all seen this play out on a smaller scale in prior seasons but the twins are pushing it HARD. The twins are not responsible for your reaction to them existing!!

[@mashdzva]

Why is no one talking about how unfair it is that sugar and spice get to compete as twins but Darby and Amethyst can’t?

[@JaydaKapri]

Istg I cackled so hard at this…wasn’t expecting that lol

[@doesntmatter6361]

💀💀💀💀

[@danielsimmich1858]

I guess Darby was lying when she said her brother was a pastor

[@Exogenesys]

I was thinking the same when Amethyst came on the screen haha

[@juegodynamics]

If you're trying to do wig math - if Lux's wig is 40 inches, then she must be 90 inches tall based off where it falls on her. Which would make her 7 foot 6. Which she is not.

[@roselamannakenny4485]

Well maybe in heels she could be LOL JK

[@DatVideoDoe]

Mistress actually wasn’t lip syncing to her voice btw! It was Joelapuss! Finding out that Mistress is 24 also threw me for a loop. She is quite literally a Gen Z queen too

[@robertperez2262]

Yes it was Joela

[@TravioliRavioli]

…W H A T

[@AbsolPowers]

that's why i LOVE HER!!! she's my age but she clearly knows her drag, modern and what's come before.

[@rinorg1003]

We're ALL team Anetra !

[@greynotchristian]

this might be the closest thing to world peace we have

[@xachh11]

I loved Anetra's talent. It.couldve been one of the best and funniest talents ever done. But I've been TeamSasha for the last 6 years. I gotta stick with my body queen Sasha Colby. But Anetra wasn't even on my radar at first and if not Sasha Colby I totally hope Anetra takes it.

[@javyjavyjavyjavy]

Stay off twitter, some of the girls are fighting about it... She killed though, Anetra needs to have several moments of adulation.

[@DatVideoDoe]

My favorite behind-the-scenes tea about the premiere is that Salina EsTitties and Ariana had to essentially act like they didn’t know each other. This lowkey probably why they didn’t include Salina in Group 1. You can kinda see it peak through in Untucked when you see Ariana just sitting and simply just holding Salina’s fingers. Also, finding out that Luxx Noir London and Robin Fierce are both Mo Heart’s drag daughters threw me too (wonder if we’ll see them mention it on the show). And THEN finding out that Black Peppa is too?!? Mo Heart got kids all over the WORLD!

[@RedesignatedClockwork]

Mo has some stunning children, it cannot be denied

[@martingomezmarinich7059]

i love when the dolls pull out the archive fashion pieces. Miss Darbs with the heart fur coat from saint laurent and miss pee bevels with the vintage pucci dress

[@coryp222]

Haha pee bevels

[@hagglemyivan]

Lol. Yes. Archival European runway only

[@pika23]

Let's go!!! The fact that mistress and Sasha Colby are on one season, just hit me randomly. I literally had a tear in my eye.

[@fishgirldotcom]

happy new year! on jan 17th, my high school is actually hosting Irene for a QnA luncheon or something like that, since she used to be a student, and i am beyond excited!! she will be the first queen i actually meet and i can’t imagine how much of an impact it’ll have on me as a little gay boy from texas. so grateful for you both and what drag has done for me!

[@ethanbrown6188]

Ohhhh that sounds amazing! So happy for you

[@KayLDay]

How was meeting her??

[@MrCryingBanana]

Alexis: *wins camp wanakiki* Alexis: “you’re not on my level”

[@xingcat]

Judy Greer has a wonderful autobiography called, "I Don't Know What You Know Me From," which is a terrific overview of a working actor.

[@thisisachannel.780]

we’re being spoiled with content! a full, one hour imho episode! yippee!!

“Go outside…fuck some grass” I’m gone😂😂😂

[@szyszymekmek]

I'M SORRY BUT WHEN ALEXIS SAID "Let's talk about Sugar, I thought Sugar was fine' and it IMMEDIATELY cut to the next act I HOWLED!!!!! God I love this show

[@szyszymekmek]

Not to sound like a cis white twink at a meet and greet but you two have really made me look forward to something in my life every upload

[@stuartpounds7715]

I think we'll see Irene come back.

[@TaraSmallss]

I hope so. I feel like it was a mistake sending her home

[@hypertechual4436]

@@TaraSmallss definitely not a mistake lol, but hopefully she gets a second chance

[@bytiffany2108]

darby’s face is super expressive this episode

[@martingomezmarinich7059]

well the plastic surgery worked

[@huhhhh5508]

Oh no. She’ll be horrified. Is her botox wearing off??

[@huhhhh5508]

Ok but the way Loosey chased Robin after her entrance gave me teas of if Darby ever walked into the werk room and saw Alexis!!! 😭

[@koii55]

Sound effects salesperson at the bazaar: And which fart noise would you like, ma’am? Darby: Your wettest, please. ☺️

[@reneneto4916]

an one hour episode is EVERYTHING i needed!!!!!

[@kindly_jaded]

I don't think Sugar and Spice were meant to be in the bottom or go home this episode tbh. Drag Race loves a misdirect, so having all the shade towards them being young and inexperienced, then them doing well and being safe made total sense imo. I already feel like we're gonna get some more moments from them, like one will be in the top and one will be in the bottom, with them both getting critiques about being more individual. Also the twin lipsync is 100% going to happen at some point lol

[@janejanejaney]

38:39 I'm very drained and sore after a 6 hour chemo appointment today and this whole bit made me giggle my tired lil titties off. Thank you for the laughs, thank you and goodnight.

[@pbjellicent]

the best part of anetra’s talent were the little quips sprinkled in the mix. like “attention: flaming pussy imminent” is so fucking good

[@peytonc6368]

me checking youtube every 30 minutes since the episode aired to see if mah gurls posted...seriously love you two so much

[@timsfchristopher6131]

I love how Alexis talks to the "live audience." Why wasn't I invited? OK, I do feel special because I watched this last night (Patreon perks)

[@itsdragherjade]

coming as fast as Darby who want to see the premiere of son, daddy, and grandpa 💕

[@vic4093]

It's crazy how many times Alexis was SPOT ON with her predictions for the season 😂 just a testament to her genius

[@TaraSmallss]

I actually think they totally made Loosey sound bad on purpose. I call rigor Morris. It was a huge mistake sending Irene home. I hope they bring her back somehow.

[@domenicgardner6146]

darby, that fur is INSANE!!! alexis, that wig is INSANE!!! y'all continue to wow me, so beauty so grace 🥲

[@Aaronatthegaybar]

I truly thought that Irene would just be low due to the amount of talking heads she had the first episode. Like she was the narrator. Sucks to have lost her so soon

[@Aaronatthegaybar]

Also Mistress, Anetra and Sasha for top 3

[@kellygreengables3936]

Same here. I really wish that this had kind of been the typical split premiere episode where nobody goes home episode 1. And agreed on your Top 3!!

Monet deadnamed Darby in their latest drag race review, but she knows you

[@UmmmmOkayy]

Where did they mention imho?

[@lxos]

In which part?

[@liamscanlan4655]

i listened but i didn’t hear her name

[@jonhon]

43:22 in their video she mistakes Dixie Normous for our Darby

[@DatVideoDoe]

I peeped that!

[@pugdad2555]

I would say, the producers do ask for a video so they probably send in their talent show performance and the producers were like “just do that again for the talent show episode” or “you can’t do that for the talent show so find something else in 2 weeks”

[@stephaniefrost4910]

18:17 ohhhhh 🤦🏾‍♀️ I was wondering why she kept saying that 😂 so thank you Alexis!

[@lxos]

I don't know if anyone noticed but Rupaul's look was the same as the little trophy that the queens get now

[@cameronrodgers3175]

"I'm your favorite drag queen's drag queen"? Ok, Sasha....Well, I had a dream last night about my favorite drag queen, Bianca Del Rio. So in the dream, I asked Bianca who her favorite drag queen is and she said, "me, of course".

[@AuntEmmy]

I stayed up late to hang with my favorite ladies!

[@esteban7370]

You guys have been saying Loosey deluca and it’s loosey laduca lol

[@timsfchristopher6131]

Maybe Alexis has a lil dyslexia and Darby just copies her?

[@DramaticDylan]

As someone with the drag persona Dominique Deluca, I loved that you two both kept calling Loosey Laduca, Loosey Deluca haha!

3:50 it didnt feel short bc the premiere episodes were regular 1 hour length. the rest of the episodes will be the shortened 45 minute length

[@nicholasjames695]

I literally get why Sasha is so special no to the community. Judy Greer was a perfect comparison. You're not my supervisor is the most iconic quote that's perfect for the current werkroom climate. I'm ready for a full on repeat of 14, these girls remind me of the previous seasons group.

[@shayceezie3119]

Have watched IMHO for a few seasons (of US Drag Race and All Stars) and, such a fan, and not just because you validate my (correct) opinions (Sasha is ITTTT, Yassss Ms Anetra, Estitties outfit is AhMayZing, Mistress is giving! And the cap was a choice). You two are so gorgeous, hilarious, and petty. Love all the references, one-liners and stories ❤

[@antonhaq3503]

I watch Drag Race more so to be able to follow Darlexis' review vids. A week off felt like eternity but our darling queens are now back!

[@carliebabe636]

I think Darby does look a little like amethyst in the eyes and in the body frame. But not in the drag looks. Darby slays

[@javyjavyjavyjavy]

Thank you for being you. When I saw this upload I clutched my nightgown and yelled (quietly) "MY GALS ARE BACK!"

[@brunezzi]

omg i'm so happy the episode is out :')

[@DatVideoDoe]

The Real Friends of Weho premiere on 01/20 is going to have such a HUGE viewership drop as soon as the Drag Race episode ends. They were so RUDE to place it between the show and Untucked. They really think we won’t just turn the TV off or change the channel and come back when Untucked comes back on. I’m hoping they cancel it expeditiously.

[@mattaaronwalker88]

I'm going back though these as imma noob and the loss of rinna from bh. I am still not ok

[@hypertechual4436]

my first thought of the twins was that they were getting the underdog edit. it feels like usually when more seasoned queens talk about how other queens are young/inexperienced they get sent home while the younger queens make it to top 3

[@andwhataboutitttt]

THE THERAPIST SEGMENT PLEASEEE 😂😂😂

[@ajcook3069]

QUICK QUESTION: Does the IMHO show have an upload schedule available? I have notifications on, but KZbin is busted and crusted and they don’t always notify the girls. LOVED the video ladies thank you both beautiful swamp monsters

[@TheFloon]

Loosey's entrance wig looked like it could have been plucked directly off of Darby's head! Also, forget Ariana, I'd pick group 2 so I could have Bruno all up on me in leather on a motorcycle ANY day.

[@medranochav]

Alexis is absolutely right about production and the twins. They're banking on an evolving narrative that not only legitimizes their drag to the other girls but also makes the audience fall in love with them.... only to then bamboozle us with a sudden twin sister face-off. whether they'll only last til mid season or go beyond is anyone's guess. But the Dolls were booked with the intention of keeping them in the race a while furthermore, production was totally privy to everyone's act (considering the use of licensed music, props, sets and pitcrew boys respective of each queen's act). so I think production was fully aware of what the twins were capable of. And if infact they bombed, the show's HOST AND EP, RU PAUL, could justify a safe placement with a reaction that suggests they did better than they really did. Not that Ru even has to perform real time reactions according to storyboard agendas, as editors know no bounds when it comes to including facial reactions that confirm narrative goals, regardless of it's relation to reality. Pretty much Ru don't even have to emote anymore, production could just AI a reaction and add a little rattle snake shade noise in order to push the story forward. It's the same way Irene's performance WAS funny. Even editing threw her a funny bone when splicing in Loosey attentively cranking her neck to take notes like she was in college studying rocket science. That was hilarious. But of course the rest of the performance was chopped and screwed into this awkward presentation chock full of awkward silences, shady confessionals and mean mugging reactions from the queens . ANYWAY RIGGORY AS ALWAYS is afoot on drag race. And keeping a Aura instead of Irene is proof of that.
