Drag Me to Dinner

Had me laughing and intrigued so much I binged it in a night! Beautiful, cheesy, funny, ridiculous, loved it. Don't take it so seriously it's freaking satire! They are drag queens, it is supposed to be ridiculous, extra, and campy. Some parts are funnier than others, but I laughed during each episode and loved seeing some of my favorite queens! I enjoyed the fact it didn't take itself so seriously and wasn't all super professional. It wouldn't be as enjoyable if it was like that. It reminded me a little of The Match game in the 70's, kind of unscripted, funny, free reign, ridiculous, corny, in the best ways!

This could've been so good it has such a great cast of drag performers. The idea was there, but the execution is an abomination. I don't understand why they wanted to do something completely fake. They could've actually just done the concept as a dinner, as normal, and just relied on the mess that would've come naturally. It's boring because it's so fake. It doesn't grab your attention because it's so fake. Drag performers are artists, this isn't art. The whole ditzy stupid I don't know what I'm doing just got taken too far. Such a shame on a wasted opportunity. It's highly unlikely this will make it to season 2.

This was not the cooking competition show it was billed to be. Don't get me wrong, I 'knew' the RDR girls, I 'knew' many of the non-RDR girls, and I actually know at least three of them. I wanted to like it, but I was let down by the lack of spontaneity. Everything seemed a 'bit.' Wouldn't this show have been so much better if it was Drag Chopped, Top Drag Chef, or Drag Supermarket Stakeout? The fakery didn't redeem the buffoonery.

It was, however, good to see the 'disgraced' Willam on the screen again. Murray Hill is the dogdamned KING of hosting. Harris and Burtka? I like them otherwise, but meh.

The first episode was fantastic, the second chaos, and they just got crazier from there. I love that they are having fun. The puns, the puns, Allllllll the puns! How can you not get that this is making fun of everything?

The hosts, the queens, MURRAY FREAKIN' HILL "Showbiz!' I swear it's also a perfect satire of 'reality' competition shows! I love how they leave it so crazy, unhinged, and blooper filled.

PLUS Making me create more words to describe and review this show. BECAUSE ONE PARAGRAPH APPARENTLY isn't enough anymore! So here is me making this six-hundred-characters to get submitted.

Seems very overproduced and something about the show doesn't hit the spot.

The concept of the show is amazing. I've always wanted a 'Come Dine With Me' drag show but I think it should be like this you sit everyone down and the cameras follow the guests more than the cooking side of it.

A couple of things that don't hit the spot below though as if they cleaned up a few things, it could be an amazing show;

1 The David guy doesn't sit well as just seems to be there for literally no reason and brings nothing to the show.

2 Neil Patrick Harris feels like he was placed in the show for some reason. Not sure what that reason was.

3 The Murray host's voice grates on the ears.

4 Camera needs to focus on the guests and not on the "cooking".

5 The whole back of house stuff is awkward and crap too. Like, c'mon.
