We are now halfway through Drag Race Mexico Latina Royale and Marina Stars is still here! She's made franchise history for being in the bottom five straight episodes, but for this Rappin' Roast - sorry The Girl's Diss Track Challenge - she soars. So does Matraka, Horacio, and Regina Voce. But Eva Blunt? Xunami Muse? Uh-oh. Alliances are strengthened, there may be factions among the remaining Mexican queens and Alexis Mateo knows it's not good. Plus: Valentina gets a shout out that tells us just how much these queens don't respect hosts Lolita Banana and Taiga Brava! Can they return or Drag Race Mexico season 3?

RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 8 is finally here and while we now know it will be the last BBC produced season (more on that next week), we're still going by the mantra that the even-numbered seasons are better than the odd-numbered ones. And judging from our reactions to Flesh, The Delta Quadrant, Coral-Hole Mandi, Naya Thorn, Alik, Paris Baby, and Mocha, this might actually prove that theory right. Join your podcast hosts Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey as they do a deep dive into this season's first episode!

We're down to the second to last episode of Drag Race Down Under versus the World and your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Evan Sawdey and Gregory Ellwood have got some big questions with the finale right around the corner. But it's the makeover episode and LaLa Ri might have given us one of the worst partner mugs ever? Michael Marouli demonstrates the continuing influence of Jimbo, Vybe has hairline issues and M1ss Jade So learns that her aesthetic may not work for all bodies. More importantly, though - who will win the season next wee? Join us as we dive into all things Down Under.

After the success that was "Slaysian Royale", hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey cannot wait until we get a new season of Drag Race Philippines. They are touched that the incredible Misua, who passed away at some point early on in taping, still gets to have her promo displayed in full. Her memory lives on amidst a sea of fascinating competitors: some who are veterans of the cutthroat PH drag bar circuit and some who have surprising familial connections with competitors of the recent past. We love getting to know these girls and can't wait to see what they bring.

At the top of this episode, Gregory Ellwood hears Evan Sawdey's theory about the UK seasons of Drag Race: that the even ones are the good ones and the odd ones are cursed, as evidenced by UK7's extremely underwhelming run. Well, the new batch of queens has dropped and there's some lookers, some veterans, some girls who do nothing but stick with their schtick, and a few with some surprisingly painful pasts that only reveal themselves if you do some digging. We can't call the season before we see it, but color us intrigued... Follow us on Instagram: @ worldwideteadragracepodcast Follow us on Bluesky: worldwideteapod.bsky.social Don't forget to subscribe!

Who would've guessed that after the Raven fakeout and the sending home of Nicole Page Brooks, the well-cast but easily-lambasted "Down Under Vs. the World" has turned a corner. Sure, some of the writing is bad and some of the sets look cheap, but with queens this talented performing at such a high level, there's little hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey can complain about. Is this still Art Simone's to win? Does guest judge Lawrence Cheney bring the energy? Can we talk about how insane that lip sync song is?? All of this and more ...

Hooboy, you are we in for a season. After last week's controversial elimination, a new episode brings another strange outcome and an even stranger run of judgments. Wild given that this is one of the best casts ever assembled for a Drag Race season, and hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey continue to wonder how the vibes have become this bad, given that the editors are leaving in confessionals of the queens hating on the judges. Maybe this episode could be saved were it not for a returning champion cleary making the whole thing about herself. Thank goodness for that lip sync ...

It's the grand finale of Drag Race France S4 being held at the Grand Rex but ... is this truly a season leg-en-dare? How are these final moments? Which returning queens are totally checked out? Is this the Top 2 we expected or is this the Top 2 we deserved? Where do hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey rank this season in the grand scale of things? The only way out is through, babes.

To quote Charlie Hides: "Things are about to get shady up in here." After a super fun mini Reading Challenge, the global Latinas this week are tasked with an unconventional materials design challenge. It's pretty good across the board, but it's been a minute since hosts Evan Sawdey & Gregory Ellwood disagreed so violently about some of the top looks and the lip sync outcome. Some fan favorites head straight for the bottom, some great looks are robbed at "safe," but what happens after the big lip stick reveal is so colossally stupid that it may have just killed the momentum of the whole season. What do you think, dear listeners? What seemed like one of the most exciting casts in recent memory is reduced down to a poorly-executed gimmick ...

It's time for the Rapping Roast -- oh boy. As a US All-Stars challenge, it's a curiosity, but it strangely fits the vibes perfectly here during Down Under Vs. the World. While Art Simone continues to say they have a target on their back, M1ss Jade So continues to bring the Uniqueness to the competition we've all been craving -- and a stunning runway package to boot. Yet which surprising queen gets, in host Gregory Ellwood's words, the "kiss of death" from Michelle, giving an out in case they don't want to crown them? Evan Sawdey might disagree, but one thing is for certain: this was a really fun episode (for those that stuck around, of course).

The competition is careening towards the finale, and we are gifted a wedding roast challenge. However, how does one roast in French? It's one of those things that shouldn't be difficult but somehow the editing of this challenge leaves hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey flummoxed -- what shows up in the edit doesn't show up in the critiques, leaving several scratching heads.

It's girl group week, which means that Desiree Beck must revisit the traumatic handstand from her original Brazil season. Yet one group truly takes over, the mother-themed runway has some people feeling very emotional, and the lip sync is sloppy but interesting.

It's Art Simone Vs. the World! Or so it seems. Some emotional moments during a walkthrough show that Michelle has loosened up a bit, but a mix-and-match design challenge pushes some surprising queens in peculiar places, but we can't be mad. A lovely and wild lip sync. A not-so-shocking elimination. Are you still watching? Enjoying? Can anyone but Art Simone win, or is M1ss Jade So just that powerful a challenger?

Canada's Drag Race All Stars first season flew by, but we've reached the finale and Brooke Lynn Hytes is ready to crown a winner. But first we have the returning queens, a Miss Congeniality to announce, a great lip sync between Sami Landri and Aurora Matrix, and a joyful lip sync to Carly Rae Jepsen's Cut To The Feeling by Nearah Nuff. But who will win? Who looked like they never wanted to come back in the first place? And how do we get Jimbo on the judging panel permanently?

Are the looks and talents amazing -- or is the judging so one-sided and biased that it's going to make the season hard to enjoy? You tell us, chat, 'cos we're curious how it's all gonna play out.

Well whether you're watching or not, you can always "watch it" through long-suffering hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey, who make it through a wild Snatch Game and truly bizarre fruit-filled runway.

As Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey call it, the Snatch Game is interesting. These doll runways are wild. The decisions from the judges are interesting. Is this the Top 4 you envisioned?

Drag Race Down Under vs. The World continues! This week your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey wonder if Raven pretending to be a contestant might stain a potentially great season and if the show can keep viewers interest with both her and Nicole Page Brooks departure. On the more positive side, Art Simone shows just how legendary she is in a double Kylie Minogue challenge, Vybe and Michael Marouli are robbed in placements, M1ss Jade So has a quiet week, Flor gets a production push, LaLa Ri is having a blast, Michelle Visage feels off and much more.

The good news is this political ad episode featured an all-time lip sync between Aurora Matrix and Makayla Couture, Nearah Nuff dominating the competition, Tiffany Ann Co giving Roxxxy Andrews All Stars 2 vibes, Sami Landri is coasting, and an absolutely hilarious guest judge appearance from Hacks star Robby Hoffman.

Before we get started, hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey take a moment to discuss the real-world concerns over all of M1ss Jade So's interactions online as of late and how they won't let that filter through their coverage of the seasons. Yet Greg & Evan have differing opinions of the episode, with Greg calling the new set improved while Evan says it still looks cheap.

They can't all it a "Rusical," so they call it ... the "Musidrag"! Ya know what ... sure. But most critically, a fun episode kicks off with a not-too-bad reading challenge, followed by a Louvre-based musical. The queens challenge themselves, but between a mostly-good mainstage showing and a genuinely stunning runway -- with maybe one of the best things to ever walk the Drag Race France stage -- the boy do hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey have *thoughts*.

Two controversial high-profile eliminations in a row: what's next? Well a rather revolutionary approach to the design challenge (and a delightful lie-detector mini-challenge run by Jimbo and special guest Melinda Verga) leads to a very interesting outcome, but hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey note that an inadequate look from one queen that still ends up with her in the Top 2 makes it seem like favoritism is heavily in place.

If you listened to this show's coverage of "Canada's Drag Race: Season 6", you know full well that WORLDWIDE TEA hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey had a lot of thoughts to say about Van Goth, who, throughout the season, felt the need to respond to that commentary via the show's YouTube comment section. It was a spirited debate that ended up as it was fated to be: in an exclusive sit-down interview with the pod! Yes, our newly minted Queen of the North swings by Worldwide Tea's studios to talk about fan reaction, sewing inspiration, and provide some earnest feedback to Greg & Evan directly. It's a delightful interview full of show insights, witty banter, and some deeply memorable moments. Clock it.

Did the first episode of Season 3 of "Drag Race UK vs. the World" lull Worldwide Tea hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey into a false sense of security? It may have, as this new episode's fresh twist on an old challenge ends up leaving a lot to be desired. A surprising bottom two placement, a thrilling and surprising victor, and some super-bratty U.K. fashion queens make for an interesting episode and what is shaping up to be a highly unusual season that might pale in comparison to the two that preceded it.

Is the Rose off the bloom? Well Rose from Drag Race France S2 isn't here, so that can't be the reason why "UK Vs the World S3" seems to take a dive in quality after its surprising premiere. It's a design challenge week where queens not only re-interpret an older look from another queen, but also revamp one of their older looks for a new Ru era. Who wins? What's the format twist? Is this lip sync terrible or just terribly amazing? Hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey do what they do best: spill the real tea. And the eliminated queen? She sits down with Greg for an exclusive exit interview that's over on the Worldwide Tea YouTube channel. It's a fantastic discussion.

The time has come: a new winner has taken the Canada's Drag Race crown! Is it the eccentric PM? The admitted drag clown Sami Landri? The confrontational design goddess Van Goth? Or the unstoppable performer that is Eboni La'Belle? A Rufus Wainwright guest appearance and the single highest fights-between-queens count we've ever seen in a finale only ramp up the drama. Hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey give congrats to the new host while reflecting on how this season stacks up against Canada's Drag Race episodes of yore. Enjoy!

As "Canada's Drag Race" continues towards its finale, the queens are given a beloved challenge: designing a custom look for Brook Lynn Hytes (with help from our SLAYSIAN ROYALE finalist Suki Doll)!

The World('s), spill some US Season 10 tea, and remark over that Season 18 premiere. Happy New Years to all of you who come to the place where the tea is piping hot!
