With RuPaul’s Drag Race now in its second week, everyone’s placing their bets on who will shine. Joining us today is the Gay Pimp, Jonny McGovern, who, after ki-ki-ing with so many queens on his show Hey Qween, has developed a pretty good eye for which gals will be Americas Next Drag Superstars.
Listen as we talk about Violet Chachki saying she hates Michelle Visage, Sasha Belle missing her RuPaul trophy, and folks on the Drag Race subReddit saying their stuff gets stolen by shady blogs.

Great episode but I feel a little duped. I love me some Lady Red Couture and the fact that she is so artwork led me to believe she was going to be there. Get better, Lady! Sending lots of love your way!
If Fausto and Marc ever grow weary of Feast of Fun and Johnny gets tired of Hey Qween, I think the three of y’all should start a daddy-themed podcast.
I really like the girls this season. Ginger, Trixie and Kennedy are my Top 3. I really think they want a young, skinny bitch this season. It’s so obvious. We have the token Puerto Rican queen with the language barrier like we do every single season. We have three black queens which is a step up from last season which only had two. Everyone seems to think that Violet is the bitch of Season 7 but I really think Pearl is more of a candidate for that role. I really hope Ginger is the Black Horse of this season and dominates the competition. I think as long as the public has input on the vote, we will always end up with a queen who has some sort of skill (lip-syncing, acting, singing, etc.) rather than just another pretty face. I mean since the public was given a voice, we have had the edgy Sharon Needles, the theatrical Jinkx Monsoon and the hilarious comedienne Bianca Del Rio. At the end of the day, if I am going to pay good money, I want to see a queen turn it out. If you’re going to just stand there and give me face … hell, I can open up a magazine and get that experience. No shade to Miss Fame but I am much more impressed by her YouTube videos than I am of her this Season. She really needs to pull it together.
I agree about RuPaul. RuPaul just seems like she is going through the motions this season. I don’t know what changed. Maybe it’s the backlash from She-Male gate last year. That had to be a very humbling experience. A lot of people are still raw about that and I think egos are still bruised. But RuPaul needs to get it together! Despite what her opposition thinks, drag queens and drag culture is here to stay.
GREAT EPISODE YOU GUYS! I LOVE JOHNNY! I LOVE LADY RED! I LOVE HEY QWEEN! AND I LOVE JOHNNY’S PODCAST!
You’re so sweet to say all these nice things Bryce! I look forward to the day when we can tape a show with the Lady Red, get well soon girlfriend.
All I can say is anyone who has to lip sync against Kennedy Davenport will lose.
I’m sure we’ll see more of RuPaul with the blue mud mask who was yelling at the girls and having fun. “It will all make sense later darlings.”
