Is this because they showed it on like 3 seperate channels? Even TheCW is home to it now.

The CW Network, MTV, MTV2, PopTV and Logo all aired it leading it to 1.3million viewers. Viacom aint playin!

it's on the cw??

[a_files06]

Yep. They are partially owned by CBS so might as well utilize them.

i think it was only the premiere that was being simulcast on a few stations, but i could be wrong

Too bad it sucked.

After watching Thailand season 1 & 2 I can't with US Drag Race, the lipsyncs especially are so low energy and it lacks that unique artistry that Thailand delivered. I was hoping for a season 3 but it seems ded now :(

Season 13...1.3... Taylor Swift as guest judge confirmed.

I honestly can say I didn't love or hated the episode. I think this format took away part of the fun and honestly, the lipsyncs did not make up for it, but I still was entertained and intrigued enough to say that I'm going to watch next episode as soon as I can.

At least if it had these ratings it means that we won't be seeing Drag Race coming out of ours screens so soon.

It would have been a better episode if the lip syncs were better.

[tobago_88]

Agreed the lipsyncs are so low energy! I'm also over the comedic miming and glancing over the other queen as part of the lipsync shtick.

[friarsfire]

I actually love a good comedy queen lipsync employing those moves but you’ve gotta really lean in and when people are committed and it’s not authentic it’s just awkward and like...why?

[surfermedley]

I loved this episode but the one thing that stood out to me the most is how fucking amazing Rupaul looked.
