Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent- that’s what they say you have to have to win RuPaul’s Drag Race and that’s what this year’s winner Tyra Sanchez has- in abundance!
Out of drag, James Ross’ life was in disarray- he had a young son, was broke and sleeping on a friend’s sofa without really knowing where life was taking him.
Tyra’s prayers were answered when she was cast on the popular drag queen reality TV show, which to the surprise of many, she won in a dramatic display by collapsing onstage and tearing her wig off.
But in person James rather be by himself. How did this shy quiet guy from Flordia get to make it as “America’s Next Drag Superstar?”
Listen as we take you in-depth with Tyra Sanchez and get her thoughts on fatherhood, RuPaul, her drag queen co-stars and how she handles her reputation for being a bitch.

ewww is this any way to kick of a new year? She may not be sorry but I am that she infested the airwaves with her banal brand of drag. A dour sour puss with a drag act you could find in any bar in America she offers nothing special. Once was enough for this episode.
so yes I feeling a bit negative when I posted that. But still she’s pretty awful
Marc thought it would be interesting to hear this again, just to give people a context of what’s in store in the next season of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
I think another contestant whose been on the show would have been a bit funnier and a lot more exciting like Ongina or Bebe
Lucky for you, they’ve both been on.
I must have missed this one the first time around. I’m kinda glad I did miss it. Girlfriend is a flat-liner. To quote Randy Jackson “I’m not feeling ya dawg”, but I’m feeling for Marc and Fausto- they were having to work so hard to get anything from Tyra. But she won Ru’s Drag Race and is a controversial contestant so it was worth listening to..
Um, did someone forget to tell her the name of the show? It is called “Feast of FUN.” There was no fun to be had with this Debbie Downer. She held the hosts hostage in terms of not allowing the hosts to ask any intelligent question without a one word answer of sound. When someone doesn’t want to be there, it makes the show less fun to listen to. Fausto and Marc nevertheless elevated the fun and spirit of the event, but not without tremendous effort . Note to Tyra: there is a huge difference between acting artistically aloof and simply rude.
What did she call it?
Being a relatively new listener, I just mined the archives by my ownself when I found the recently recycled ep’s wanting. Even if they’re not new to others, there are many really enjoyable ones with great chemistry, especially (in my opinion, your mileage may vary, etc) with guests like Cameron Esposito, Larry La Fountain, Teri Yaki, Ronnie Kroell, Tracy Tyler, Deven Green, Michael Lehet… “And Many More!”
