Okay, let's be real. You need your weekly dose of glitter, sass, and sickening lip-syncs. You're craving RuPaul's Drag Race. But where do you even find it these days? It's like a glamorous scavenger hunt.
The Obvious Choices (That Aren't Always Obvious)
Paramount Plus: Your Likely First Stop
Paramount Plus is probably where your brain goes first. And for good reason! Most seasons, including the latest, land there. But is it worth another subscription? That's the real question.
Let's be honest. We're all swimming in streaming services. Do we REALLY need another one just for the queens? My bank account is weeping.
VH1: Cable's Still a Thing (Kinda)
Remember cable? Yeah, it still exists! VH1 is the OG home of Drag Race. You might actually catch new episodes here, depending on your package.
But who has cable anymore? Aside from your grandma and maybe that one friend who's weirdly into news channels, it's a dying breed. Plus, commercials. Ugh.
WOW Presents Plus: The International Hub
Don't forget WOW Presents Plus! This is the go-to for international versions of Drag Race. Think Drag Race UK, Canada's Drag Race, and beyond. Prepare for subtitles!
It's a treasure trove of drag content. But be warned: you might fall down a rabbit hole of international queens and never come back. Consider yourselves warned!
The Less-Than-Obvious (But Still Viable) Options
Amazon Prime Video (Sometimes)
Amazon Prime Video can be a sneaky option. Sometimes, you can buy individual seasons or episodes. Keep an eye out for deals!
It's like a digital garage sale. You never know what treasures (or dated seasons) you might find lurking there.
YouTube (For Clips and Compilations)
YouTube is your friend for iconic moments. Lip-sync assassinations, runway roasts, and Untucked drama abound. Just don't expect full episodes (legally, at least).
It's the perfect way to get your fix when you're short on time. Or if you just want to relive that Shannel moment.
Arrr, Matey! (Let's Not Go There)
Okay, I'm not going to explicitly endorse piracy. But let's just say... the internet is a vast and mysterious place. Search at your own risk!
Just remember, supporting the show legally is the best way to keep the queens coming back for more. Nobody wants a drag-less world!
My Unpopular Opinion: It's Too Damn Complicated!
Honestly, finding RuPaul's Drag Race shouldn't be this hard. It's like they're intentionally trying to confuse us. Just put it on ONE platform already!
I miss the days of simple TV schedules. Remember flipping through channels and stumbling upon a random episode? Simpler times, my friends. Simpler times.
Maybe I'm just old. But I long for a world where watching drag doesn't require a PhD in streaming services. Until then, happy hunting! And may the best subscription win!
