![]() ![]() ![]() Last year, the queens were completely forbidden from referencing the one thing EVERYONE wanted to talk about - the Sherry Pie situation. Of course the ongoing COVID-19 crisis has required a shift in format for Seasons 12 and 13. It’s no surprise that when they brought back the actual reunion formats for Seasons 9-11 we got more honest, intense moments, like “You don’t love me,” the Vixen’s walkoff, and…I am sure Season 11’s reunion had some wonderful moments, but god help me, I can’t think of a single one. For Seasons 4-8 they did the reunion as part of the live taping for the finale, and it was much more stilted and produced, with very few “real” moments. the Mexican drug cartel that had kidnapped her mother? I. The Boogers? Mystique Summers Madison vs. The reunions for Seasons 1-3 are literally iconic because the queens were allowed to be themselves. I also deeply miss the reunions that were unscripted (mostly) and allowed the queens to actually grill each other and address issues. And considering it will have run for a full 17 WEEKS by the time it wraps next Friday, that’s…not great. Production did its best to manufacture shocking moments with twists and gags, but overall there wasn’t a ton of truly breathtaking material to be found in Season 13. And that’s because so few were generally memorable. Instead, it was a super segmented reintroduction of all 9 eliminated girls, and a general overview of the season.Īs some of the GPCD panelists were saying in a group chat, we had forgotten most of the moments from the season. The Final 4 weren’t even in DRAG this episode, which I find so interesting - there’s never been an entire episode where contestants weren’t dolled up. The Final 4 didn’t connect with the eliminated queens at all. At no point were all 13 cast members interacting with each other. But that is fitting for Season 13, the “How can we miss you if you won’t go away?” champion of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”Ĭalling this a reunion is, honestly, a stretch. Question: does a reunion that goes on for two hours require a separate reunion to recap what happened within itself? It just kept going.
