We're back back back back back again! It's been a hot minute since Evan & Greg had any international news to comment on, and with the advent of All Stars 11, it's time to play catch-up. We cover the developments with the franchises in the Philippines, Canada, France, Latina Royale, and more, along with a thoughtful recap of Season 18 (it was ... fine). Yet with All Stars 11 on the horizon, the boys of Worldwide Tea get into all of it: who they think will excel, some that we have lowered expectations on, and reveal which original US season contains the MOST queens who pivoted on to All-Stars.

It's here! After some questionable casting from the onset, the girls of "Drag Race UK vs. the World" Season 3 completely blew the lids off of expectations to deliver a season that is remarkably fun and wild. We're down to the finale, which features some unnecessary drama during the reunion, some lip syncs that could've gone either way, and what are clearly some bitter glances from some of the eliminated girls. Who won? Who lost? Who should've turned down that phone call and who turned their public perception around? Only one way to find out.

In the entire history of "Worldwide Tea", there have been times when hosts Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey have disagreed with each other, but when it came to the makeover runway on the semi-final episode of "Drag Race UK vs the World" Season 3, their worldviews could not be more far apart. Did Fontana deserve to win? Did the eventual winner deserve to win? Can The Only Naomy, with zero badges, pull out a Dark Horse miracle a la PM from the most recent season of "Canada's Drag Race"? Only time (and Ru) can tell. Don't forget to check out Greg's exclusive Exit Interviews with the departing queens of this season on the Worldwide Tea YouTube page!

We're a week away from the semi-finals, and "Worldwide Tea" hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey have thoughts. Why is Fontana so insecure that she needs to bring up "evidence" against Naomy, "Traitors"-style? Why did production conveniently make these paired comedy challenge group castings on their own? And who really won this lip sync? And is it because they won or somebody else lost? Find out all these answers and more.

They discussing the passing of one of the original Down Under girls Maxi Shield, reveal some of the secrets of the recently-announced and filmed international seasons, and cover a wild new "UK Vs the World" episode where Kate Butch has a difficult time explaining herself, Russell T.

Join hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey as they dive into the sci-fi girl group challenge, where surprising wins, faded alliances, and so much more come into play.

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.

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.

Four challenges to get to the finale? Canada's Drag Race is making the road to the crown even tougher for the remaining Season 6 queens as they have to survive a difficult C U N T challenge. The queens will have to win either a Rap, Design, Dramatic Monologue or the dreaded Lip Sync For Your Life to survive. Van Goth, Sami Landri, PM, Karamilk and Eboni La'Belle are all battling for the top four slots. Will a queen get robbed or is it just bad luck?

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)! Alliances are broken, one queen lands in the bottom for the first time, and the lip sync leads to a shocking elimination. Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey also mention the forthcoming Vs. 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!

How *you* doin'? It's a difficult question to answer if you're a queen on Canada's Drag Race, where alliances are slipshod, delusion is rampant, and -- as hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey note -- none of the cast seems particularly to like each other. Yet in the hands of another franchise, Canada's sixth season could've been a trainwreck -- and instead it's turning into pure television gold! Join us as we dig into a fascinating lip-sync, some questions on the judging, and marvel at the fact that Traci Melchor has finally stepped up and is serving the looks we all need. Canada!

In a very special episode, Evan Sawdey & Gregory Ellwood talk about each of the new RuGirls and dives into their interviews, their looks, and some background not covered in that "Meet the Queens" promo video.

What a wonderful time to enjoy some snow! For some (including your hosts Evan Sawdey & Gregory Ellwood), that means being up North for the contentious Reading Battles that have returned to the "Canada's Drag Race" stage, leading to a winner that few could have predicted and a lip-sync that left us breathless. Yet maybe competition isn't your flavor, maybe you're just looking for a girls trip. Thankfully, the guest judge on this week's episode of "Canada's Drag Race" is also one of the stars of Sesaon 2 of SLAYCATION: Alyssa Edwards! To top off a busy week at Worldwide Tea HQ, both Alyssa and fellow cast member Sikly Nutmeg Ganache swing by to speak with Evan about their experiencing filming, who they had familiarity levels with heading into show, and what they took out of it -- as well as both of their deep knowledge on how cold Chicago gets in the winter.

Once again, Canada's Drag Race mixes up the tried and true Drag Race formula and pulls off a miracle! This week our queens have the option to do the Snatch Game or a Design Challenge and somehow - it works! That being said your Worldwide Tea Podcast hosts Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey aren't so sure the bottom four were correct. Should Star even have been in the bottom? Did Velma Jones deserve the Golden Beaver? And are some of these queens perhaps not as good friends as they thought they were before they entered the werq room?

More importantly Supremme De Luxe has a queen to crown because when they filmed this episode Le Coco hadn't won season 4 yet (it's complicated, we know). But our four finalists have a pajama party, spend valuable time getting emotional in front of a mirror and film one of the best Drag Race music videos we've ever seen.

It's our first elimination episode of the already-iconic Canada's Drag Race Season 6, and no matter what she does, Paolo Perfección is simply addicted to being iconic. As recapped by Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey, this week's episode finds the queens welcome in Brad Goreski's replacement Carson Kressley, while the queens break up into groups and design advertisements for imaginary cruise lines.

We have a winner! After fan reception to UK Season 7 was charitably more muted than the one prior, we get a filler coronation episode with Kyran Thrax, surprise parental visits, a mid new original song, the finest RuPaul runway look in years, and finale lip sync which can charitably be described as "a blowout." Does Elle Vosque prove to be the judge's favorite? Does Sillexa Diction sneak in to the Top 2? Did you know that Paige Three and Bones are friends??

Before we even get started with covering the amazingly bland new season of Drag Race UK, there's new of the upcoming Canadian judging panel, certain winners of other celebrity-based UK competition shows, and much more. A twist on Snatch Game barely makes up for one of the worst Reading Challenges in recorded UK history, and great character choices are buried amidst some very obvious caricatureisms. Topping off with a perplexing runway, hosts Gregory Ellwood & Evan Sawdey discuss the lack of narratives forming, Tayris' incredible intellect, and how the show's casting process succeeds when it pushes for new voices instead of queens cleary designed to fill in a certain archetype. And one more time for the back row: what *does* Catrin Feelings do, successfully? Quickly.

This week, the queens sing and dance for Espana glory in "Vais A Volverme Lorca." Can Nix snag her first badge? Can Satin Grecho win her second?

Are the fans turning on this season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK? They might be, especially after this week's episode where the queens put on a Talent Show and the judging was, to say the least, curious. Why is Paige Three getting underserved critiques? Why were Catrin Feelings and Bonnie Ann Clyde both safe? Do the runways count or not? Will the return of La Voix save the episode? And will the bottom deliver a lip sync worthy of Calvin Harris' iconic remix of Florence + The Machine's Spectrum? (Wait, don't answer that).

Drag Race Espana season five is giving you Charisma, Uniqueness, Never, Talent and, oh yes, Drama. And that's Drama with a capital "D." This week, the queens demonstrate their comedy skills in a Reading Challenge and Snatch Game! Can Satin Greco prove she's more than an iconic lip sync artist? Is Nix in danger of being sued by the Walt Disney Company? Will any of the other queens let Krystal Forever breathe? And if, during a lip sync, there's no wig under a wig reveal, will only RuPaul eliminate you? Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey are here to recap the fifth episode of Drag Race Espana, "Snatch and Serve," and ponder if Laca Udilla might actually be winning us over.

It's the 50th episode of the Worldwide Tea Podcast and thank you for joining us on this epic adventure across the globe as we chronicle every international season of RuPaul's Drag Race. We're back in the UK this week where our queens strut the stage in their best Edina and Patsy Absolutely Fabulous inspired runways and take part in a dreaded acting challenge. But could Alan Carr help "Mother Tuckers" become a skit that's actually funny? And while Bonnie Ann Clyde and Catrin Feelings make Ru laugh, are Nyongbella and Chai T Grande being screwed over by the judges? Evan Sawdey and Gregory Ellwood are here to recap the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race UK for your pleasure! KK bye!

Is there something in the water? Yet again, we have another entertaining Drag Race Espana season on deck with great challenges, lip syncs, and more genuine drama amongst the queens than you can imagine. This week, the queens fight over performing "Haters" in a girl group challenge that wasn't called a girl group challenge. Plus, is strange judging a 2025 overall Drag Race trend? Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey are here to recap the fourth episode of Drag Race Espana, "Manifest the Festival," and ponder: "Who is Rebeca?"

There was a Werq Room at some point? Don't tell that to the all-mainstage "Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale" finale! In a jam-packed episode that has a ball, a talent show, and nerve-wracking final lip sync (to say nothing of some queens who couldn't wipe their elimiated disappointment off their faces), where Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey remain deep in the action. Was it a deserved win? Where does this season rank amongst International All Stars? Who do our incredible fans want to see in the next season? All these questions and more answered in the finale to one of the best franchises to ever do it -- all on Worldwide Tea!

This week's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 3 is the girls group challenge and our queens are adding their verses to the Charli xcx, er, hyperpop track "She Ate That". Will the show create a Bones vs. Paige Three narrative out of nowhere? Will the judging be suspect once again? Are Tayris Mongardi and Catrin Feelings an item?

Are you ready for one of the best episodes ever in the history of Drag Race Espana? Perhaps one of the most emotional episodes in any RuPaul's Drag Race season over the past 17 years? Worldwide Tea podcasts hosts Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey are here to recap episode three of season.5, "Red and Rossy Red Carpet'" where Rossy de Palma returns as a guest judge and in the inspiration for a super competitive design challenge. But this season has the half a heart twist and Satin Greco may have made herself a Drag Race legend in the proces.

The penultimate episode of Drag Race Philippines Slaysian Royale is here and this week our queens have to slay a music video with the new Filipino Drag Pop Group REYN4. Brigiding, Suki Doll, Arizona Brandy, and Vinas Deluxe are all still vying for the crown. Will Mama Pao, Marina Summers, and Nymphia Wind pick a questionable winner for the challenge?

It's the first design challenge of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 7 and in "Rumble in the Jumble," the queens have to design outfits from the leftovers of previous seasons. How many queens can the judges gaslight in one episode? Was Pasty set up for failure? Did Bonnie Ann Clyde and Tayris get a pass? Did Viola doom herself with her werq room drama? Is Bones going to runaway with the season? Evan Sawdey and Gregory Ellwood revisit the second episode of a season that already has us concerned!

It's the first acting challenge of Drag Race Espana season 5 and our talented queens will take part in the telenovela, The Secret of Boner Bridge! The Javis are directing and the subject of this week's runway, but will frontrunner Satin Greco get favorable treatment? Did a queen's wig fail affect her placement? Is it time for less La Veneno inspired runways? And is this the worst Drag Race Espana lip sync in years?

There are only three episodes of "Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale" left and this week our queens have to impress with a Drag Con booth challenge. Will Suki Doll finally get a challenge win?

And will our queens finally get a moment to remember the late Jiggly Caliente? Gregory Ellwood and Evan Sawdey are here to break it down in the latest episode of the Worldwide Tea podcast.

We're over halfway done with the incredible DRAG RACE PHILIPPINES: SLAYSIAN ROYALE, and the drama is only getting juicier. Siam is embracing her pure self-delusion narrative, while Khianna is dissuaded by her own performance. Venias can't stand Siam but is allergic to a disappointing runway, and Suki continues to be mother while the Snatch Elections challenge unfurls. Drama, twists, and a surprise win add more to an already-stellar season of drag!
