Thanks but I torrent my shows

[@edsjt1780]

EP2 (Nymphia, Plane, Dawn) would also catch a lot of people.

You know numbers must be Bad when they upload here.

[@insertyourquarters]

Not me thinking it was a leaked ALL Stars 9 episode 😭🤔😂

[@SaintShion]

Haha, same. Then I saw it was WoW and thought it was another trailer 😆

[@dianaberlin4767]

Not you thinking

[@Manchester1990]

I've noticed on a second viewing Xunami is in her confessionals just supporting all the queens in their talent shows she is so lovely!!

[@kyliessave8454]

Yes she's literally just so supportive of everyone! Miss Congeniality!

[@AmeliaScott69]

In words of Alyssa Edwards: What the f is going on in here on this day??

[@Ocean-lr6oz]

i'm also gagged - first AS9 and now this? i like to think because there's so much fucked up shit happening in the world they decided to bless us with the joy of drag

[@signeaarejrgensen61]

I hate that they're not nice to Amanda. I know she does not have the make up and fashion skills yet. But she's a great performer and seems lovely.

[@signoramylove5259]

Why they feeling like this posting this ep on KZbin 😭

[@PureHoneyBoo]

I guess to hook up some people that haven’t watch the season yet.

[@katrinamarieverso7391]

I am also wondering.

[@unfilteredjosh906]

They also did this with UK vs the World. They will only post Ep1 so people would watch the entire season

Don't know why they uploaded this here but i AM seated and WILL BE rewatching

[@SaintShion]

I mean, Im more surprised they weren't doing it before. Money is money.

[@fushidrashad9268]

@@SaintShion they put this in paid streaming platform so they cannot put it on YT. People can sue if you do that. Happened to many MTV series back then so they are being careful i guess.

[@SaintShion]

@@fushidrashad9268 I know what you mean; I watch it on WoW, but as in Mexico cause in America, you gotta watch it on another platform. All the rights to shows and movies are getting ridiculous.

[@Ulyssiarules]

Dawn should’ve won the mini challenge she was hilarious

[@user-yf4it2dk8n]

I miss Season 16. This is definitely the best season since Season 6 imo. It gave me so much life. I hope they post Ep 2 as well to be fair with the other set of girls.

[@tanyacollins3732]

Brooklyn Hytes was robbed! Haven’t watched since!

[@isaachowse1654]

Im kinda happy theyre putting this on youtube so the queens can be exposed to a wider audience but I kinda wish they would go back to being on netflix outside the us and canada cuz all the queens from the netflix era have such a large following even the early outs

[@leonturner2598]

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!!!! I need my Rupaul fix on the Flix!!!!

[@unitedstatesoffugu]

the way mirage was just EFFORTLESS - next level! dancing, make-up, outfit, music, vocals... my mind is blown 🤯

[@beninamoreto6547]

Thanks for uploading. I'm from the Philippines and the only paid subscription available for me was Netflix where Rupaul's Drag Race is available to watch. Its not updated in our country which is a bummer. I'm stuck with Season 15. This got me so happy!!! :)

Everyone was reading Amanda's drag lol

[@swamisattyanand7811]

Oh. That’s a good idea. Seems like we’re past the time when episodes were being rewatched over and over again…

[@gilbertgutlutscher540]

Are they gonna post more episodes??

[@Starxoulla]

OMGGG YALL NEED TO POST AS9 FIRDT EP TO

[@mmv4799]

They probably will after the season airs. Paramount gets first dibs, after that it can be streamed eles where

[@Starxoulla]

@mmv4799 wow gets it first but it'd be better to get ppk hooked while the shows actually airing cus then it gives them motivation to keep tuning in

I cant believe the land of the free wants to put a ban on drag. Thank you Charlize for lending a voice. Our little South Africa has none of that fear.

I think Saphira is going to make it to top 4 at least

[@igorsantana3051]

Guys, I did the analysis and discovered the real presentation order of Talent Show: 1. Morphine 2. Q 3. Mirage 4. Xunami 5. Amanda 6. Dawn 7. Sapphira What do you think?
