Don’t let the smooth taste fool you, because RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 has some bite to it. We definitely found that out last week via the season’s latest — and possibly most shocking — elimination to date. But before you shade any queen for getting help with their runway look, you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Does Drag Race really have any rules?” The answer: it only has one rule, and that rule has nothing to do with offering your sister a helping hand.
Last week’s goth design challenge once again separated the seamstresses from the everything else-esses, with Dawn, Nymphia Wind, and Q all gravitating towards the top of the pack thanks to their expert design skills. That left some queens a bit in the lurch, especially Plasma who second-guessed everything about her aesthetic. Mhi’yah Iman Le’Paige also had to get a helping hand from Sapphira Cristál — ain’t that a thing. In the end, Mhi’yah managed to lip sync her way through another week, leaving Plasma six feet under.
Where will this season go next? It looks like we’re in store for a performance challenge. Now let’s get to your questions! How can you watch RuPaul’s Drag Race online for free? And when and where does it even air? You’ve got Qs and we’ve got As.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 Episode 10 debuts on MTV on Friday, March 8 at 8 p.m. ET. Following the episode will be RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked, which airs on MTV at 9:30 p.m. ET.
Those of you with a cable login can either watch on TV or you can stream Drag Race Season 16 Episode 10 live on MTV.com.
If you’re no longer living with cable, MTV is available with the following live TV streaming services:
If you don’t have a cable login or a live streaming service, then the next best way to watch Drag Race Season 16 is to purchase episodes individually or by the season on VOD services like iTunes or Prime Video. Episodes are generally added to VOD for purchase the morning after they air on MTV (although sometimes there are delays).
Oh yes it will — but not until the season ends. If you’re looking to watch Episode 10 on Paramount+, you’ll have to wait a while. For example, Season 15 was added to Paramount+ a few months after it wrapped up. If the same is true for Season 16, then it will likely debut in full on Paramount+ in August 2024.
Here’s what we know about the running order so far:
