In one of the most shocking eliminations in all of RuPaul's Drag Race herstory, Jane Don't was sent home after a Karen improv challenge. The fandom is pissed, the IMDB ratings are plummeting, and Kayla and Derek are here to give their takes. Was this rirggory? Did Jane deserve better? Did we finally get a good Mayhem lip sync??? We will dissect everything about this controversial episode and more as we head towards the Grand Finale!

Kayla is busy having a life (can't relate) so we have a guest co-host for this episode! In their Rigged Recap debut, it's Archie Merc!!! And we are going to break down everything from Episode 11 from the roast, to the wind runways, to having some deep conversations about disability and neurodivergent storytelling on Drag Race. And of course we ask the question: IS IT RIGGED?

In the third design challenge of the season, our top 7 queens have to make party looks, and while some are sabotaged, others surprise with their garments. We have the fashion icon herself, Black Peppa from UK4 here to help us dissect the looks, talk about if Discord cheated or not, and ask ourselves the age of question: IS IT RIGGED?

Another incredible rusical, another carefully crafted storyline completed. We all knew it was coming, Athena and Juicy having to lip sync against each other, but the question is: was it rigged? We discuss this with Drag Duel alum AJ Nox, as well as the amazIng beige runways, Jane's wild story arc, and where we're at with the season in general at this point.

Well folks....this one was a doozy. It's Snatch Game week! But this time, we're taking a stop on Love Island for....some reason. No need to ask the question "is it rigged?" because fans have already called it. This episode, Derek, Kayla, and special guest RunnerEye discuss Mia Starr's elimination against Kenya Pleaser, Discord's continued safe placements, and whether Nini Coco's win was questionable.
