Season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race has seen 16 queens — the most in the franchise’s history — display a stunning amount of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent from the Werk Room to the runway.
After switching networks and moving to MTV, however, fans were upset that the talent’s airtime was cut short when the episodes went from 90 minutes down to 60, a move that made room for MTV’s ‘Real Friends of WeHo.’
MTV got it together and announced that 90-minute episodes were coming back, but that doesn’t change what we’ve already missed from the show.
Contestant Malaysia Babydoll Foxx addressed one fan’s disgruntlement that the season didn’t feature RuMails, which is when RuPaul announces details of the current week’s maxi-challenge alongside the iconic, “She done already done had herses” quote.
“Malaysia I have a question,” read the tweet. “Did you have Rumails on s15? We have ZERO of them this season; or at least that’s what we see on TV.”
In response, Malaysia simply said, “Yes we did.”
Fans on Reddit were fired up by the revelation, with some not even realizing what was missing until it was pointed out. Others wondered if the queens still received prizes for unaired mini challenges.
Although we’ve seen a few mini challenges throughout the season, there’s no saying whether any upcoming episodes will feature any RuMails or additional mini challenges when the show returns to its normal run on Friday, March 10.
