I loved on Canada's drag race when the queens were all assigned a box thinking that they were all getting different things but in the end everybody got the same exact thing in their box it was an awesome sewing challenge episode
Re: Merle Ginsberg mystery entry. IIRC, in RPDR AS8 they did something very similar with the Lil Poundcake mystery... because she likes her Taco Tuesday with guacamole.
they need to bring back season 11's sewing challenge where queens has to make a garment using materials inspired by previous drag race queens!! it was one of the sewing challnges i enjoyed the most
Wrestling challenge BUUUT with a twist, have them all assigned a wrestler they have to valet for, do microphone work for, hype an audience for and cheat for in a 1on1 match between the guys, character work and not risking getting injured
I have wanted a "tag team" challenge for years! This would be a queen paired with a wrestler, and they're tasked to create a wrestling gimmick and cut a promo and then do a lipsync performance in the queen's style.
Lots of unique comedy challenges from Season 7 would have probably be received better by the fans if the cast is different. Yeah, the season designed for a Fashion queen to win, and they decided to bombard them with so many comedy challenges. It would have worked better in Season 8.
7:41 yes! 👏 Janet Jackson deserves the diva worship challenge, and I would love to see them do a JANET the Rusical the way they did with Madonna in season 12 👏
Loved you ‘separating out’ challenges you’d love to see again but know aren’t really feasible. It would be a lot of work, but I’d be interested in your take on how they MIGHT be able to pull off those ‘interacting with the general public without spoiling the cast’ challenges ?
Ugh, regarding the Queens Behaving Badly challenge, I *hate* these type of videos. I don't think people who are just minding their own business out and about on the street should be approached by production to be pressured into doing things they might no have done if the pressure of having cameras nearby. But maaaaaan, the Super Tease SLAYED me! Gawd, I just watched it again because it needed watching!
I think they've done the "Who wore it better?" design challenge in DR Philippines season 2, but instead of just colors, the pair has to share a party theme. Christmas, Birthday, Halloween, Valentines
they actually did use clips from the super tease in some of the trailers of season 14 like I was looking forward to the moments and was actually welcomely surprised that they came from the challenge. ^^
If they bring back the lipsync challenge, here are untucked moments we need: - S5 Serena vs Everyone -S6 laganja vs everyone -S9 Aja vs Valentina -S11 Silky vs Yvie -S12 Heidi vs Aiden’s bullies -S13 Kandy vs Tamisha -S15 Malaysia shutting down Marcia
season 14 gets a lot of hate for being too long and i agree, it felt never ending, but the super tease and the save a queen challenges were soooo good, they should bring these two back
It might be an unpopular opinion, but I loved the s4 wrestling challenge. It was amazing to see queens create those completely over the top and crazy characters.
What we need is “camp” to be brought back to drag race. And rupaul to snap at the queens for not knowing how to do snatch game (season 11-16 with the minus of season 12 have been so bad )
Janet Jackson is my S Tier Goddess. I’d love to see her as a guest judge. (What is your favorite Janet Jackson song?). I’d also love if they brought back Shawn Morales to the pit crew.
I love that Janet has a song for every vibe. If I'm feeling moody, Come Back to Me. If I'm feeling dancey, All For You. My current obsession is Where Are You Now!
I would’ve been sooo upset if you didn’t include the untucked lipsync challenge because that challenge lives in my head rent free! There’s sooo many iconic untucked moments since season 5 that they can lipsync to! Tamisha v Kandy, Laganja v Everyone, Heidi f u f u f u, Yvie v Silky, Yvie v Vanjie, Aja Linda evangelista rant, Maddie v Jasmine, Malaysia v Luxx and Marcia x3
More untucked lipsync challenges 👏👏 We need more self-referential humor. Season 6 "I feel very attacked", Season 9 "you're perfect, you're beautiful, you look like linda evanglista", Season 11 "If I would lipsync for my motherfucking life today, I was ready to do so", Season 12 "Fuck you fuck you fuck you Imma worry about Heidi". Every episode of season 5 untucked...
I could have sworn an international season did their own version of the Despy Awards. Huh, I honestly can't find anything on it. This means I might be making stuff up or the non-English international seasons do NOT get covered enough.
I NEED the untucked lipsync challenge back. Or just a spoken word lipsync challenge!!

Which season was that?
Season 14s “Super Tease” was a HOME RUN!!! It was amazing !!!

ME TOO!!!!
So glad the DESPY Awards made this list
It's one of the cheapest episodes to film. I'm not surprised it's not more common.
Wrestling challenge BUUUT with a twist, have them all assigned a wrestler they have to valet for, do microphone work for, hype an audience for and cheat for in a 1on1 match between the guys, character work and not risking getting injured
Or they don’t do fights. It’s just those soap opera moments. Like the back stage drama, or the on the ring call outs.
Cutting wrestling promos itself would be an amazing challenge and so drag

I LOVE the Who Wore it Best design challenge. Really shows you their design and construction skills. Or lack thereof.

We need the season 7 parody challenge again, it was so good.
David Lynch is a Good option, he is camp as fuck
I would love if they brought back the Bridal challenge. That is what makes season 2 to be so unique.

BenDeLaCreme's drag is impeccable.
The ugly dress runway should be a standard every season.
You’re doing such an amazing job with these videos. You are the next big thing for the drag race UA-cam sphere!!! Keep it up, these are great

Pink table talk needs to come back that was one of my favorites!
I feel like with the season 11 challenge they should’ve been able to pick which celebrity they want you to convert to
I would love for the bitchelor to come back in Canada and call bitchelor in winter paradise and have Jeffrey in it lol
What we need is “camp” to be brought back to drag race.
And rupaul to snap at the queens for not knowing how to do snatch game (season 11-16 with the minus of season 12 have been so bad )
You should do runway themes next. My #1 would be "Death Becomes Her" from S7.
Janet Jackson is my S Tier Goddess. I’d love to see her as a guest judge. (What is your favorite Janet Jackson song?). I’d also love if they brought back Shawn Morales to the pit crew.

Oooo yeah! Where Are You Now is a total gem!! Lonely has been on heavy rotation in my car.
I want the s8 ep1 challenge again where they all get a different ball / design challenge of the past
I would’ve been sooo upset if you didn’t include the untucked lipsync challenge because that challenge lives in my head rent free!

7:38 instantly subscribed
I really want the Despys to be a regular thing lol
15:27 clips from this challenge DID make the real trailers for the season
As1 challenge also ll not able to do cause now they use to film in south america cause production cost are lowest.
what no cheer leading challenge on this list? lol, too bad its such a liability cause it was pretty fun
am i the only one who hated the “Super Tease” challenge? Great idea, horrible execution
The colour design challenge was done on Belgium Season 2, but I would love to see it back on the main series!
damn, i'm this early! haha
Bring back the cherry pie sale 🗣️
What is with this like royalty free random guitar music in the background 😭
oh jeez I am early wow
