'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 11 Has Us Gagging For More

The season 11 premiere had the tea, the gags, the memes, and a whole lot of fish.

If you're a fan of "RuPaul's Drag Race" like I am, then you know the love-hate feeling you get with the show. (RELAX, this post is spoiler-free.)

The VH1 series' 11th season, which premiered on February 28, 2019, started with a bang fresh from the controversial double-crowning of Monet X Change and Trinity the Tuck in the fourth season of its spin-off "All-Stars" two weeks before.

Fifteen queens are on this season, including the fishy Plastique Tiara and the mom-trying-to-use-millennial-slang-level cringey-yet-lovable Silky Nutmeg Ganache. But what's got everyone watching is, of course, the legendary meme legend herself, Vanessa "Miss Vanjie" Mateo, who became a meme following her iconic exit as the first queen to go on season 10.

The inaugural episode featured some of the typical challenges, such as photo shoots and a themed weekly challenge. What was different is that these challenges centered around inspiration from queens from seasons past.

Legends like Raja, Manila Luzon and Sonique made cameos in the photo shoot mini challenge. In the "maxi" primary challenge, each queen had to make an outfit based on props in a box based on the styles of earlier queens such as Kim Chi and Katya.

But of course, what was the greatest moment of this episode was Miley Cyrus and the aforementioned Silky picking her up and probably traumatizing her. And who couldn't be gagged at that "Best of Both Worlds" lip sync?!!!

Overall, I'm really excited what's in store for season 11 of "Drag Race." Though I have some reservations about the personalities of some queens and style choices of some others, I think season 11 will make up for some of the baggage that past seasons have carried.

At this point, I don't have a favorite or a prediction of who might snatch the crown, with of course the exception of Vanjie because of her newfound fame in the past. But if history is any indication of how "Drag Race" turns out, anything can happen.

New episodes of season 11 of "RuPaul's Drag Race" premiere Thursday's at 9/8c on VH1.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
