IMHO | RuPaul's Drag Race S16 E06 *and* UK vs The World S02 E01 Review!

[@Philippiller]

I don't know why but the multiple layers of "can I see you back there?" make me laugh so hard, it's so dumb but genius at the same time

[@hallm3lbp]

the "fuck that bitch" might be my new favourite version of the bit 🤣 i screamed ALEXIS!

[@banrions]

God same. It actually never gets old and is always funny.

[@GustavoFernandesKing]

But can I see you back there for a minute?

[@paulthomas4292]

💯!!! My fave part of any episode.

[@antoncannon7279]

THISSSS 🤣💀

[@whoopsmymeds]

Alexis quietly removing the airpods she forgot she was wearing and smiling to herself is GOLD 06:12

[@relationalintelligence]

And then saying "pay attention" 😂

[@YusimiNajudont]

You know what I mean?? 😅

[@Aimee42]

I always go "HHAHHAHAH fuckin bitch."

[@cantspellrestaraunt]

"Can I see you back here?" is, quite frankly, an instant classic.

[@ohheyal22]

darby’s shocked face every time alexis says something mildly shady is so funny

[@josesalazar1353]

I love when Darby said “you’d win it so shut up” that was so sweet. like she’s right Alexis would kill it, and Darby would too.

[@RNCHFND]

Yeah but who would Ru push until the end?

[@MarysTwin]

​@@RNCHFND she would push both of them into a double crowning 👑

[@flopdmes]

please don't ever stop making these reviews I literally live for this

[@Exogenesys]

The whole "Can I see you back here" skit is always so funny to me, Alexis you are a treat

[@SlightlyAskew]

"as an ambathador to... Thpain... via Barthelona" 😂😂😂 That whole sidebar was the highlight of my day.

[@drew_m_r]

xunami winning a trip to spain reminded me of when bald, vegan sasha velour won wigs and meat as prizes lol

[@dawnjuliooo]

Tbf knowing the language of the country you're going to does make the trip a lot easier and more enjoyable

[@drew_m_r]

@@dawnjuliooo xunami is a daca recipient and can’t leave the country

[@dawnjuliooo]

@drew_m_r omgggg I got it mixed up nvm💀

[@lorabrock]

UK vs the World review too!? Thanks y'all!

[@hoyitsmiguel]

We stan the queens who have never been judged by Ru fully devouring the first episode and making their impact (Pangina, Marina, Jimbo, La Grande Dame)

[@mchappymeals]

I’m a college student and I would LOVE for Darby to be my adoptive mother who only remembers about my existence once a month, enough to send a “Hey. You alive? Keep it up” text

[@IMHOTheShow]

Proud of you, honey! Your father and I are splitting up :(

[@fabiomiguel3449]

I die every time you do the "can I see you back here?"

[@tansieten875]

I took the Danny devito comment to be a criticism of geneva wearing ankle straps which are known to shorten your legs

[@guru-guru-guru]

Was just gonna comment the same! It did sounded weird, but I took it as criticism to wearing something that made her legs appear shorter

[@ZombieNarcs]

Yeah I think it was more of a proportion comment, with where the skirt was hitting + the ankle straps made her legs look short.

[@GustavoFernandesKing]

Yeah, I think it was more to do with the proportions of the clothes than the fatness of the doll or Geneva.

[@eduardorosa6239]

About UK vs the World. 1. Marina did amazing and this episode, and I love that this song she performed (AMAFILIPINA) is a sample of AMAKABOGERA a song that was used as a Lip Synch song in DR Philippines S1, such a good song. 2. You guys should watch France S1 and S2, it is a little bit different the experience, but the fashion, is on point. 3. I laughed so hard when Gothy's performance ended and someone said on the talking head: "She (Gothy) looked like she was impressed the fire trick worked". And they show Gothy so happy like it was true.

[@laincoubert7236]

i can't get over the "can i see you back here?" bit like 😭

[@swiggydswirl330]

19:30 I love how their friendship goes from sincerity, to insult, to offense, to insult, to apologies, to sincerity, to injury, to apologies yet again all in one fell swoop before segueing back to the review lmao

[@christianscholer6599]

La Grande Dame is one of my all time favs. She's so beautiful and her drag is so interesting. She has a super compelling backstory, and I am so glad she's now on the international stage.

[@rubyk.1506]

Yes, queen! Or should I say; Oui, ma reine!

[@alyxandragideon5343]

Her voice 🥵🥵🥵

[@kvnchris]

I love how much you both love Drag Race Philippines! 🇵🇭✨️

[@MoyAmaro]

I need a shirt that says "I can I see you back here" with their picture on the back of the shirt

[@IMHOTheShow]

we have can i see you back here merch on dragqueenmerch!

[@foxy_codone4779]

RIP Darby's husband's mom's husband Jerry

[@stuartpounds7715]

18:48 Me sitting in my cubicle at work screaming ALEXIS

[@thomaswahl4338]

Dabry's double take with JUST her eyes after Alexis' Jonbers read is easily my favorite moment of this year so far

[@sage5530]

your short of the "can i see you back here?" sent me here, instantly subscribed.

[@literaltruth]

One thing to bear in mind about comparing prize money is that here in the UK, prize money is completely tax free. When they say £50,000 you get to keep all 50,000 of those pounds. So it's less than you get in America, but not as much less as it looks. Unless you're American because the USA is one of the only countries in the world where you have to pay American tax as an American even on money you earn in other countries.

[@jamiehenderson8632]

Girlies the cash prize for UK is tax free cause we don’t do that here

[@catinthechat01]

Glad things are returning to normal, Darby. Reviewing a few episodes in one post works for me. I tried to find the end of France on Patreon but couldn't (sacré bleu!). I could send you a synopsis/PowerPoint presentation on each episode in the future. I'm so disappointed WOW has treated Drag Race Thailand like it doesn't exist. WOW had better not be pulling my leg about FINALLY making Season 3. Pangina Heals announced she would be back as a judge so hoping it's a good sign. In 2018, the S1 winner was plus size and age 38, and I believe there were two trans women. In 2019, S2 winner was a trans woman, there was another trans contestant, and they had the first Muslim contestant. That franchise had the real firsts.

[@Theinvisiblehippie]

ALEXIS! Not the “speaking of losers… Mayhem Miller is next” 💀

[@joelieastell244]

I can’t explain it but “direct Q-uote” and the satisfied grin after got me weak with the slow onset giggle to big lol pipeline.

[@paulthomas4292]

You all the the BEST drag race reviewers. I said what I said! For real, you both remain true to who you are, and the improv skills are on point Henny!!! Keep up the great work!

[@SimplyNikki1982]

I’m so happy to hear updates from both of you! 🥹♥️ Both reviews are so well done. Marina is such a star! Love her! Speaking of international spin offs PLEASE consider reviewing Drag Race Thailand. I will literally cry because I love Pangina and Art so much. ILYSM 🥰

[@hoyitsmiguel]

I never could have seen the meme of La Grande Dame and Marina Summers height difference happening this year but as a short Filipino, I can fully relate

[@nopants666]

great video as always but what really got me is the family talk near the end. sitting here crying tears of happiness for you and your loved ones, thank you for being so open and vulnerable to us, you beautiful people ❤

[@TheFloon]

So so glad you guys are covering UKvsTW! I had such a blast with it and have been eagerly awaiting ep 2. Also wanted to say condolences to Darby and Curtis and the fam. Also best of luck to your brother, I'm also job hunting in Florida and its been tough!

[@bwmestet]

Is the Jonbers Blond glow up in the room with us right now?

[@Crooked_Rhyme]

The lizard that hannah did is called a Frilled Necked Lizard here in Australia. They are fabulous little critters.

[@moby1603]

Interesting about the doll challenge, at the beginning of the episode (I just rewatched) RuPaul says "you'll be making two separate looks for you and your doll." And doesn't explicitly say they have to match.

[@Avery69c]

Just wanted it noted in history Darby. Your story, behaviour, outlook. You're an icon and a role model for me. "You're such a nice person" "I KNOW" Iconic. Never change.

[@martingomezmarinich7059]

As a nice person (also tall and skinny) I relate to darbie

[@cececola]

Awesome episode ❤ on this for the whole run of UK vs the world. Woot woot 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@indypoos]

the Michelle Visage comment at 18:57...I'm dying!!! and 100% agree with you about Philippines franchise. love you guys, missed seeing your faces🥰

[@adrian-rx8rg]

gagged her a bit 4suuurrreee

[@ohaiitsurrn8922]

It's the genuine friendship between you too that makes me keep coming back. The comedic timing, the riffing, even just the two of you talking about your lives and families. You're great. Can't wait for next week.

[@Peace2Mateo]

I love that you met Kiely Williams of 3LW in Barthelona. I hope you adked her to say playa pleathe

[@kev_ev]

I dont even watch most of the seasons you guys cover anymore but im still tuned in and listening every time

[@javiterrazas9825]

I'm so glad y'all are doing UK VS The World

[@scottsummers4234]

Thank you for promoting Drag Race Philippines! Its not perfect but its very fun 😂

[@sumacmusac]

Looking forward to seeing you both cover both of these seasons! And sorry about your loss Darby!

[@paisleypolarbear2485]

There are some queens that are great at other WOW shows like Binge Queens, they don’t need to come back to compete again- Mayhem is one of those 💙

[@carlosa.rossattojr.2815]

I stop the vídeo to say that I also get chills when Alexis P Bubbles (and P stands for Pleasant) explain better than anyone what I think about Plane and not even me knew it....Thank you APB.

[@anamariefalk3796]

The “can I see you back here” bit has me rolling every time

[@milsivich]

Saw your show at Love Fest in Champaign, SO amazing! Y'all are so talented, and I'm so happy we got a chance to see you perform in our cozy little town!

[@chrisryanonline]

As someone who has also been to Spain, thank you for the representation

[@rc-r104]

Side by Side of La Grand Dame, and the Glamour Toad herself, Ginger Minj's entrance look would be fun

[@peterf8789]

ok but my fave moment was when Choriza May leaned over to Gothy Kendoll and whispered "I think she's Filipinaf" after Marina's number

[@Zander3109]

@16:20 Darby confidently telling Alexis "You would win Drag Race" melted my heart ❤❤

[@boles14212]

Also Zunami wore almost the same exact thing when her and the rest of the premiere 1 girls were meeting the premiere 2 girls

[@ItsTejYo]

I agree with the mayhem sentiment however I would just like to point out my favorite part of her look was the shoes because she actually got them customized to look like the giant podium the Statue of Liberty actually stands on and that attention to detail was sickkkk to me. But yeah overall it isn’t the most complicated.

[@andreassn5050]

"Which just said "Welcome" in English aand... Nigerian" Lmao! I love how you didn't want anyone to really hear that last part. I believe it's in the Igbo language, to be specific.

[@joaohvazz]

That Heart necklace omggg

[@quintonbarker1071]

I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I had to go to the hospital for a collapsed lung and just finished the procedure. Your video today is def helping me to feel better and keep me company in this hospital bed 💖💖💖💖

[@EllahPama]

So so happy u love and promote dragrace PH. Hope u can come see the queens live in bars here. They do everythingggggg!!

[@rossanovigna6275]

41:31 you just did a Can I See You Up Here? Hahahahah ❣️

[@martingomezmarinich7059]

46:50 THIS. I hate it when rpdr has the girls come back for the 3th or 4th time

[@TheeEnglishKnight]

i know no one asked, but as a history buff i have to say that that’s not a beefeater uniform, it’s a coldstream uniform. i dont know why the judges keep mentioning beefeaters lmao, beefeaters (their official name is yeoman warders) are a different section of the royal guard (and imo they have a much cooler uniform, i hope someone on drag race does an ACTUAL beefeater uniform)

[@acf870]

Mayhem has no intention of living up to a perception about herself. It is a crutch at this point.

[@toriahennesey]

I think we could all be a bit kinder about MM - they were forthcoming about Long Covid - the brain fog would explain the fluffing of the talent, struggling with people's names, being less quick with the quips/strategy, etc. It is admirable to attempt difficult stuff when you are aware of your limitations (and as a last minute/reserve contestant) Idk, I think we could all be a little more generous.

[@padraicnoonan]

Darby just saw what Curtis looks like irl out of curiosity and omg he’s sooo handsome you lucky girl heheh

[@l.c.7507]

“You’re allergic to Cheetahs” 🐆 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I liveeeeeee lollllll

[@Jeffeffery9]

the divas are fiercely triaging and working the upload schedule hunty slay ❤

[@mjm3091]

31:50 The thing is - the tax is probably already included (if there is a tax for such things in UK) - so it's likely comparable to the 100k prizes in US

[@cheddarurchin3844]

"can I see you back here?" 😂🤣

[@chrishomet351]

lots of love from Barcelona!❤

[@bblivid]

Alexis should have a wig sorting party and have a friend over to open the bag with her. Sort the wigs, unpack them and find places for them. Make them talk. Give them personalities. Could be fun!

[@themalcontent298]

Ah, you guys, always talking about death! Darby, hug Curtis extra hard, losing a parent sucks, no matter how old you are.

[@Digioia2]

the reaction to the sue joke made me literally do a spit take

[@rubyk.1506]

Love you! Sorry for your loss Darb, but happy for your gains with your bro. Glad you are in your new place Alexis, moving is hell! 💌

[@loup-hole]

Darby that last second joke was so goooooooood ugh I love you girls!!!!

[@Len11999]

The dolls in the episode were just various brands of BJD dolls. What they needed to do, was give the girls thus brand of doll called "SmartDoll" intended to be cutomized, that have bodytypes and many skintones.

[@messybetsy]

I heard the danny devito legs as in the cut of the dress, not the actual legs of the queen. They were different lengths or proportions. The midsection of the doll is shorter and the shoulder sleeve things are longer to it meets the skirt, which is a little higher.

[@nesquike]

I honestly think Nymphia clocked that all those girls were not falling for her whining anymore, so she thought “I can’t be in the top again, but I also can’t be in the bottom” so she did everything intentionally to fall in the middle. For someone who styles their own dolls and is such a great seamstress who also has a sense of fashion and style, we know she could have done better. The mismatched bow and hair are so obvious it’s almost like she thought “ok I’m gonna make this wrong and this wrong to not be great again”. Idk 😭

[@Bazibishop]

Thank you so much my queen mothers you’re always 100% right and your drag is even more right ❤

[@hailstorm281]

The "HUH?" after "where are the kids?" Got me together 😂

[@MrTedkesner]

When you think about it, $50k pounds is the same as $100k dollars after taxes.

[@courtneyroberson0420]

And awww I'm so sorry to you and curits for the loss 😏😏 sending all my love and prayers to you and Curtis and the family 💗💗🤗 I lost my dad at 12 and lost my mom 2 years ago now so I know how it is to lose a parent smh and it's the worse ugh . 💔 but we have to stay strong and continue to live life cus that's what they would want for us ! 💯💯 and they are in a better place we gotta remember all those things !!!! Don't let yourself get stuck in a depressed rut . I know it's hard trust me but we gotta keep moving forward . I let it eat me alive for way to long luckily I'm in therapy now and dealing with all of it FINALLY 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😏 Losing a parent always is awful ugh 💯💯💯💯 so remember to tell your loved ones you love them and keep them close cuz yu never kno when Wil be the last time !!!!!!!! I now take a great ammount of time to reach out to certain people because I now realize if I lose them tommorow I don't wanna regret not being in contact with that person over something silly smh 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ so keep your loved ones close !!!! Yy never know when you will lose them 1😏

This is my favourite KZbin channel!!

[@michaelrotch9773]

When they got rid of the little red stick with lunchables I realized what pain felt like

[@paulwilliammonks1]

There must have been a secret room with barbies in it at the clubs i used to go to (I think it was near the toilets) , as there were loads of people that had one long fingernail! Im so glad i now know the reason ! 😉

[@MrChrisChapa]

I thought hmm Darbys trying something different with her wigs... That's.. fun! And then she eventually scooted it forward and I was relieved

[@willamemarinho7581]

i love wuen Darby says "this look to me (para mim)..." loool

[@mondaynightballroom20]

It would be kinda fierce if Darbillicus used her knowhow to get her brother started on a media career where he can use his faith in a positive way that teaches people to be legitimately kind and accepting rather than conservative, judgmental, money-grubbing nightmares

[@dakotakennedy4654]

waiting for the day the "can I see you back here" takes one of the girls tumbling backwards off the chair

[@PatrickJohn-u6v]

In the UK, they do not pay taxes on prize money. In the US they pay about 40%, it equals to about the same amount of money.

[@pscleland]

Are y'all reviewing España All Stars as well? Would love to see it!

[@D3z1n3r]

I think Mayhem did herself a disservice coming back with such a laissez-faire attitude. If she wasn't going to be all in, maybe wait and do a later season where you will be.

[@jalexander1095]

Thank YOU!!! We had such an incredible time with you at Love Fest and you made it such a fabulous experience for us and our community 💖💖 happy to fly you out to visit us and our brainless college students anytime 🥰 Also, I need Alexis on a flight on Sunday so we can reprise our Wizard and I duet at queeraoke again 😂

[@stephaniefrost4910]

15:25 no but really…like what???? 😂 I was so confused none of the judges brought it up in deliberations! Or maybe it was just cut for time

[@TopHatNat]

Winnings in the UK are not taxed so they get to keep the entire $63 000 (USD) but in USA their winnings are taxed 50% so now that the prize is $200 000, they only get $100 000 (after tax)

[@mondaynightballroom20]

In Darbington's defense, she's probably right that Alexis wouldn't win Drag Race, but only because Alexis would make it to the end but get strung along as a fan favorite and have to do like 4 All-Star seasons (All-Starts 12, Drag Race All-Stars: Charm School, Drag Race All-Stars 19: Whoops! All Trans, and The DMZ Between the Recently-Annexed Former Territory of Alaska and West Russia aka Canada vs the World) before she gets her crown

[@antinathan]

for me, france is the best franchize but phillipines is a close second, the first episode of DR france was just....*chefs kiss*

[@dero_oan]

Marina... just Marina... Also La Grande Dame giving what Ginger Minj thought she was doing
