Drag Queens Lip Sync For Their Lives On VUZUTV

If you haven't watch #RuPaul’sDragRace I can proudly say, you are missing out on a great show. When I first heard of the show it was back in 2010 from a friend of mine in Cape Town who had season 2 and gave me a copy. When I first watched it, I was sold! The drag queens on that competition know their story and it stunning! I made sure most of my friends watch the show too and YES they liked it. RuPaul’s Drag Race is a reality show on drag queens competing for the Americas Next Drag Super Star title hosted by the famous drag queen in the US RuPaul. 

 

Tyra - Season 2 Winner "America's Sweetheart''



Last month when @vuzutv on DSTV channel 123 announced that they will be showing season 1 to season 3 I was so excited so is everyone who has DSTV at home tweeted “I can’t wait to watch drag queens on mzansi screens, it’s long overdue.’’ Then the show premiered, I don’t know when the last time person was got this excited about a new TV show, it was the new best thing on TV and still is. However, I was not shocked, @vuzutv usually get it right but to air something that is exclusively gay for such a diverse society it was taking a huge risk but it proved to everyone that if you do it right you won’t have people yelling about ‘’demons and un-natural’’ like they did with Generations, Scandal and Rhythm City’s gay characters. However, this is not on the free government channels with shill schedules.   

RuPaul

Channel 123 @vuzutv is currently showing season 3 which is the last season they have rights to air on their channel and I’m not the only one hoping they get other seasons for us. RuPaul’s Drag Race is far more entertaining than America’s Next Top Model for most of the people who watches th show. To my surprise even a friend of mine Sixolile Dleko who is so not into TV or any entertainment shows likes it and he doesn’t miss an episode. Its so funny that I also see straight people tweet about their favourite queens and some of the tweets usually get me questioning a lot of things, but hey, who am I to judge? Im no judge Judy at the end of the day.

“I’m sorry my dear, but you are up for elimination” - @RuPaul on @RuPaulsDragRace when she say this line, the queen knows she is in trouble and have to lip sync for her life to save herself from packing the bags and leave the show. When @RuPaul made her mind, she then address on queen to “sashe away” and tell the other one who lip synced well that “shante you stay.”



Bebe Zahara - Season 1 Winner



 At some point I was not convinced with Bee being in the competition but the queen proved herself and did very well and won the 1^st season. The second season @iTyra was my winner from the beginning; she intimidated other queens and still stayed focus on the competition. They hated her for being fabulous, but that didn’t get to her, she delivered and won.  The other queens whom I liked were Jujubbee and Pandora Box. For season 3 I think Raja has it, she’s stunning and reminds me of Tatum Keshwar on the runway. Catch @RuPaulsDragRace in Africa’s TV screens @vuzutv on Monday – Wednesdays from 21h00.
