Drag U Professors Announced!





Hooray for Shannel, Ongina, Juju, Morgan, Pandora and Raven returning! Mariah from Season 3! No Nina Flowers? Boo! Who would you like to see as a Professor?

I am happy that Mariah is a professor.

I hope season 2 is better.. I watched every episode of season 1, but it was a chore.

I agree. There were parts of s1 that were boring as all get out. Hopefully they'll have done some tweaking and refining since then.

I'm dissapointed by some of the additions (Tyra, Mariah and Bebe). And I'm saddened by the loss of Nina. But I'm really happy to see that Raven, Pandora and some others are back.

As for who I'd like to see... Sonique. I think she'd be great since she's all about self love and self acceptance. Though I doubt she'd qualify since she's transitioning.

Oh, I totally agree. (Though, to be honest, it took me a LONG time to warm to Morgan. Think: the reunion.) I know Sonique stopped transitioning for Drag Race. But as far as she's gone in the process, I highly doubt she'd consider putting it on hold any longer. Yeah, Morgan didn't show very well on the show. She was a hoot on Drag U though.

I... can't place the speech you're talking about. I had a hard time with a lot of the Untucked's this season. So I've probably buried it in the back of my mind. Tyra? Yeah, no worries. I have no desire to discuss her, lol.

Is it just me or was the video edited? Cause I did not see Manila Luzon before.

I was just going to say that I missed Manila the first time around...

Maybe I am the only one, but all of them looked pretty damn terrible in that commercial.


Given the concept of the show (hopefully it is still the same), I think BeBe and Manila are going to be great additions. BeBe has mentioned that the women of her homeland thanked her for giving them strength to be women. And Manila is just so darn personable. Morgan and Pardora were pretty awesome last go around with helping the women feel better about themselves.

tbh i think drag u is hella boring :/ i watched one episode and it was a snooze fest.

You're not alone. I've always thought Drag U would have been better if it had been about transforming guys with zero drag experience into queens for a one night only mini-Drag Race. Like the "Jocks In Frocks" challenge this season. From a social standpoint, I'm glad this show helps women feel better about being themselves and getting a chance to be pretty when they otherwise not be. But as a TV show with drag queens, especially in comparison to Drag Race, it's a real stinker.

you know, that would be fun. just transforming normal people into drag queens for a day. gay, straight, guys, girls, whatever. and then have them compete. lol. this format is just kind of lame. it focuses too much on ~dealing with insecurity~ and too little on fabulous queen. lmao

Dammit, now I need to make a new picture for the Drag U professors since I used caps from the original.

I'm just glad Manila, Jujubee, and Raven are professors.
They are definitely my top 3 favorites.

Yay for Mariah but I wish there were more people from season 3.
