Drag Race RuCap: “Q-Pop Girl Groups”
Tuesday, January 13, 2026 at 1:00PM Like in the last couple of years, Nick Taylor and Cláudio Alves are following and recapping the new RuPaul’s Drag Race season…
You know what? Bless this MESS.
CLÁUDIO ALVES: After that promising premiere, Drag Race season 18 continues to prove itself an entertaining new addition to the franchise. Sure, some judging decisions at episode’s end left a little to be desired, but these girls are very fun, and the runway is an all-timer that had me cackling alone with my cats - Major Tom looked very confused, but he always looks confused. Were your fur babies similarly mystified by your reactions to “Q-Pop Girl Groups” or were you a very sedate watcher, bored into inexpression? I can’t imagine you could be that displeased by this hour, though one never knows. (I know, because we’ve discussed the episode on DMs and GroupChats, but please allow the subterfuge for this intro’s sake. You saw nothing, dear reader. Thank you.)
NICK TAYLOR: I wasn’t with my cats when I watched this episode, though the host of my watch party has a lovely, skittish young cat who didn’t seem inordinately cautious while we were howling at the runways...
