It’s finale time on RuPaul’s Best Friend Race: All Stars
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars (VH1, Friday, 8 p.m., fifth-season finale): Contrary to what LaShauwn Beyond told us all those seasons ago, sometimes it really is RuPaul’s Best Friend Race. Take this top three, for example. While they’re all driven to win, this is a congenial group—and Miz Cracker’s occasional inadvertent villainy is counterbalanced by Jujubee, who literally sobbed her way through a lip-sync in her first turn on All Stars when faced with the prospect of sending home a dear friend. But as this first act suggests, it’s not like there won’t be any sources of drama.
Kate Kulzick will recap this friendly (and hopefully fabulous) season finale.
Can you binge it? Lots of Drag Race is out there to stream, though it’s a bit harder to find seasons of All Stars that don’t require a purchase or an additional subscription. MTV Hits via Amazon includes seasons one, two, and three, while the first two seasons (and season two is great) await you on Hulu.
