The Villain Edit

Project Runway has a Betty Boop challenge, and they keep insisting that this 90-year-old cartoon represents “Young Hollywood.” It’s perplexing. The Amazing Race goes to Zimbabwe and gets some wild animals to come pretty close to its contestants. Ink Master has no idea what “pixelated” means. And RuPaul’s Drag Race rips The Bachelor to shreds using the ancient art of…improv?

Betty Boop on Project Runway?

Hosts Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

Two weeks of Ink Master, Amazing Race, Project Runway: All Stars, RuPaul’s All Star Drag Race, The Curse of Oak Island, and a bit of My Big Fat Fabulous Life all get covered. But the real news is that Rhias has discovered Dragula, and she has introduced Monty to it, and it’s disgusting and great.

Introducing Dragula

Hosts Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

It’s a drag competition, but instead of being about glamour like RuPaul’s Drag Race, it’s about gross monster stuff. Super fun! And gross!

On Oak Island, the new game is apparently to bring up the trip to the Templar prison at the drop of a hat. Which is totally fair, because that trip probably cost some money and you want to squeeze all the juice out of it you can. Speaking of juice, Ink Master used fruit juice to make mosaics that had nothing to do with tattooing but looked like fun. The Amazing Race went to a place made entirely of steep, winding streets because that’s the best way to exhaust the competitors. And Project Runway made some nice dresses. And some not-nice dresses, too.

I've Seen That Shape Before

Hosts Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

All the reality shows are back! Well, probably not absolutely all of them. But The Amazing Race, Ink Master, and Project Runway have all made their 2017 debuts, and the Curse of Oak Island continues to do…whatever it is that show does. Monty and Rhias are here to catch you (and each other) up. There’s also a special bonus update on My Big Fat Fabulous Life, which has some drama you will want to hear about.

Monty and Rhias momentarily ran out of interesting shows to talk about, because apparently television is too busy showing good shows instead. The nerve! So after wrapping up Ink Master: Angels and talking briefly about RuPaul’s Drag Race (coming back on January 25) and The Curse of Oak Island (they haven’t found anything) they talk about whatever comes to mind instead. It mostly involves movies.

Going Off-Topic

Hosts Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

Project Runway reached its finale, which kind of took forever. And the winner was a nice surprise, which is always…nice? That makes sense. And as the cycle of life is always turning, The Curse of Oak Island is back to its old tricks. Seriously, exactly the same tricks, where they dig holes and don’t find anything. So we spend most of the episode talking about the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars, which is a lot of fun.

Drag Race All-Star Rundown

Hosts Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

Two episodes of Ink Master: Angels, which is proving to be a pretty fun show! Two episodes of Project Runway, which continues to be very professional! And one episode of American Beauty Star, and we were lucky to make it all the way through it. That is a terrible show. Also, we shared some preliminary thoughts on the Project Runway: All Stars 3 lineup and geeked out about the Templar swords on Forged in Fire.

Another Win For Poopy Pants

Hosts Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

Two episodes of Project Runway contain a total of three eliminations. And another elimination that gets rescinded. Ink Master Angels goes to the biggest cowboy bar in the world, I think. And Halloween Wars…just isn’t very good.

Face Off: Game Face ends with a weird episode that was intended as the pilot before they made some changes. Monty and Rhias liked it more than the regular episodes. Halloween Wars is a weird show about a hyper-specific kind of pumpkin carving that somehow has a spinoff series with exactly the same title. And Ink Master: Angels manages to get rid of a lot of the annoying stuff about Ink Master, which was a delightful surprise.

The Tragic Wigs

Hosts Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

The return of real television means that some of these garbage shows have to wrap things up. So Monty and Rhias get to talk about the live season finale of Ink Master and the (not-live) season finale of the Great Food Truck Race. Face Off: Game Face isn’t a season finale, but it’s got four Face Off champions going head-to-head. Face to face? Whatever. And Project Runway also happened!
