Got me two tickets for Battle of the Seasons in the Olympia.

I assume everybody in this thread who would be interested is aware that this is happening?

Katya, Sharon Noodles, Willam, Pandorra, Violet Chacki, Jinkx, Courtney.

I would pretty much be delighted with all of those except Violet who I think totally lacks any likeability. I could take or leave Courtney Act as well. If we swapped those two for Alaska and Ben de La Creme that would be my ideal lineup!

Still, happy days - I think the Olympia is going to be rocking for this - I wonder will it sell out?

Tickets just went on sale yesterday, Friday, just in case there is anybody here who would be interested in going to this but did not hear about it for whatever reason

Yeah picked up a ticket and heading in with friends. Wouldn't be a massive Drag Race fan but reckon this will be tonnes of fun.

Ash885 · 26-01-2016 02:57PM

Got my ticket too! Was a little disappointed at the prices of the other packages but alas. I've met most of the queens at their gigs in Dublin (except Pandora but I think I'm fine with that ^^')

Should be great fun, loving the media coverage it's gotten thus far already.

The queens for Season 8 are being teased (or something) today (should be around 4pm our time) and the RuVeal of the contestants will be on 1st Feb around 12am our time, so the early hours of 2nd Feb.

Rick_ · 02-02-2016 11:39AM

OK, so the S8 queens have been announced and the show returns on March 7th. What does everyone think so far?

Here's the promo vid-

Was just about to post that. So happy this is back. The only queens i had previously heard of were Derrick Barry, Dax and Kim Chi.

Less queens this season and less episodes but we do get All Stars 2 so it's all good. Got my tickets for BOTS too so I'm excited for March. Off to see if there is any Meet The Queens video to see the rest of them

Ash885 · 02-02-2016 05:19PM

With so many of us going, we should have a pint or something beforehand, a boards BOTs of sorts haha.

Bob the drag queen seems pretty stellar. I've watched a few of her videos before, so liking her from the get go.

Rick_ · 02-02-2016 05:40PM

The Meet The Queens videos are all available on the Logo TV website and don't appear to be geo-blocked so everyone can watch. The super trailer will probably be released in the next week or two, considering the show is back on TV in a month.

Hunchback · 11-02-2016 11:23AM

Bob to win - surprise package - Cynthia Lee Fontaine

Disclaimer - my predictions are usually the kiss of death

A new streaming service is launching next month called "heyu" and it has lots of reality shows, and they are boasting that the service will have episodes usually on the same day as the US broadcast. They also have the rights for RuPaul's Drag Race. Season 8 may or may not end up there shortly after broadcast for us as the service is launching in the UK, Ireland and Australia initially.

might be something to keep an eye on. The service comes with a months free trial and only costs £3.99 a month, which is rather cheap when compared to Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Rick_ · 18-02-2016 05:44PM

The super trailer for Season 8 has arrived, but only available on Logo's website, so here's a YouTube rip, sorry for the sound quality though...

I live!

Thorgy ftw

Kanhir · 23-02-2016 10:01AM

BOTS tickets arrived the other day, can't wait! Pity Alaska couldn't make it over, though, me and himself are big fans of the AAA Girls.

I'm a staunch Bob supporter, although I'm worried about the runway. History shows you have to either turn it out week on week, or be ****e at the start and then magically improve to be fabulous and glamorous.

Hunchback · 23-02-2016 10:14PM

Some amount of spoilers on Reddit!

Rick_ · 23-02-2016 11:49PM

Yes, I'm avoiding Reddit like the plague now until I see an episode and even then I may just wait until the season is over before loading it up.

Bob the Drag Queen and Acid Betty interviewed at a premier (?)

Ash885 · 24-02-2016 12:12AM

I remember predicting Pearl would be first/second out, from the preinterviews etc. I thought her stoic personality was because she was pissed off for being kicking off early. Oh egg on my face hunty.

Edi: Btw, that Bob rainbow dress reveal...!

Hunchback · 24-02-2016 12:29AM

actually this one is way more interesting - you get to see all the queens talk about all the queens!

Hunchback · 24-02-2016 12:32AM

actually, not all of them? i dont think i saw thorgy (or is he there?)

EDIT - he's in the prosthetic fat suit!

HausOfTony · 02-03-2016 02:32PM

Adore is replacing Willam on BOTS tour

Anyone selling 2 X standing tickets for that show? Left it too late

Rick_ · 02-03-2016 04:56PM

I wonder why Willam has dropped out, or was he pushed?

<insert shade noise here>

Ash885 · 02-03-2016 05:12PM

Someone spilt some tea saying he doesn't get on with the organiser.

Willam is coming back in May to Dublin along with Alyssa if anyone is interested in that!

He sent a shadey tweet earlier saying that the tour was announced before contracts were signed or something along those lines.

Rick_ · 03-03-2016 11:35AM

Speaking of shade, this is handy to have (and there's even an app for it when you're on the go!)

J_E · 03-03-2016 07:59PM

I wouldn't mind one for that delicious sword noise!

Hunchback · 06-03-2016 10:17AM

Can I just put out there that I actually liked Laila McQueens flats

Rick_ · 06-03-2016 12:55PM

My body is ready for tomorrow.

Come on Season 8, let's get SICKENING!

Hunchback · 06-03-2016 03:53PM

I just spend 5 minutes watching that GIF.

On an altogether more tragic note, I have a serious exam on Tuesday morning at 9.30. - the timing of the first episode couldn't be worse! And then I have another one on Friday morning. My usual modus operandi would see me watching the first episode at least twenty times by then

Rick_ · 06-03-2016 04:38PM

It is rather hypnotic, isn't it?!

Oh dear, well, good luck with the exam and don't worry, if you can contain yourself for one more week until the exams are over (you've waited almost a year since S7, what's another week?!) then you can watch episodes 1 and 2 together on repeat and have double the fun!
