    I love this show. But would rather you review the entrance looks instead of promo looks. I feel like promo looks are to themed rather than the queens own personlaity

    So good! I love hearing Trinity the Tuck and Shontelle Sparkles share their drag expertise with us. I used to love when Trinity was a guest on some of the other drag podcasts but I’m so happy she now has her own podcast with Shontelle. Great job ladies!

    There are many podcasts that review Drag Race but Trinity and Shontelle don’t hold back or sugar coat their opinions!!! I love hearing from two amazing seamstresses and the founder of Glitterbomb wigs what they think of the runway looks.

RPDR S18 E14 Review with Q! I Live For This with Trinity the Tuck and Shontelle Sparkles
Q: What did you think of the top four's looks and the running order for the runway and challenge?
We thought Nini's self-painted silver-and-black look was innovative and striking, Juicy's gold look was grand yet heavy on structure, Mikey's navy-and-gold look was beautiful but could have used a stronger supporting moment, and Darlene's finale look, while polished, felt underwhelming for a finale moment.
RPDR S18 E13 Review with Joey Jay! I Live For This with Trinity the Tuck and Shontelle Sparkles
Q: What stood out about the guest panel and how Michelle approaches judging?
Joey Jay highlights Michelle's evolved drag presence on the panel and the dynamic of a cis female guest judge, praising the way Michelle contributes to the show and supports the discourse around performance and fashion on the runway.
I Live For This Review | RPDR S18 E5 Review
Q: Who was your favorite performance and who was your bottom two?
Hands down, favorite performance was Juicy. My bottom two would absolutely have to be Vida and Ciara.
I Live For This Review | RPDR S18 E3 Review w/ Joella!
Q: Who do you think is going to win the whole season?
Joella believes Mikey is going to win due to her unique runways and performances.
Episode 33 w/Sam Star
Q: What are your plans now that Season 18 has been released?
I've just been traveling and performing, hoping to release new music and get back into live theater.
