Race Chaser S10 E10 “Social Media King Into Queens

In this episode of Race Chaser with Alaska & Willam, the hosts dive deep into Season 10, Episode 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race, titled 'Social Media King Into Queens,' a makeover challenge that paired queens with straight male social media influencers. Alaska and Willam reflect on the nostalgic energy of 2018, celebrating the optimism and creative freedom of that era before the digital saturation and burnout of later years. They dissect each queen’s transformation, with particular praise for Eureka O'Hara and Frankie Grande’s dynamic, which they call a 'grandificent dupree.' The episode is filled with sharp critiques of runway looks—especially Aquaria and Capricorn’s red-heavy, mismatched ensemble—and affectionate roasting of the awkward, low-budget homemade videos filmed on BlackBerrys. The hosts highlight the emotional weight of Monet X Change’s elimination, calling it a shock given her legacy, while also celebrating the raw, unfiltered energy of Untucked, including smoking on the loading dock and candid confessions. The episode ends with a nostalgic lament for the 'better time' of drag, when queens could smoke indoors and the stakes felt more human.
