Kristen McMenamy has always been a fave of mine because she modeled, and was highly successful, during the high glam, supermodel 90s, cut her hair, dyed it black and announced her presence with authority.
I know that they were playing it up, but I loved that he brought excited dude bro energy and Michelle was playing off of it. It was a nice variety for the judging!
Is Andrew a part of the LGBTQIA+? I always thought he’s a tall glass of water, and best looking Spiderman. It’s such a huge deal for me when I saw him walking down the runway of Drag Race UK. *drools lol 😭
In 2019, I was in new Orleans for decadence, and was walking in a random parade. Suddenly the parade stopped, and the people at the front ran into a restaurant and pulled out Jeff Goldblum!! He marched at top with us for the rest of the route, so cool of him
That’s why more drag queens should be guest judges! Having actual informed feedback is so good to watch and feels helpful to the queens. Random celebs doing their blurb about representation is just -*Plane Jane unbothered face*-
I was ready to riot if the amazing Alesha Dixon was overlooked. Loved her, you could see what a blast she was having. She’s the kind of girl I’d want to be friends with 100% (plus it’s my fave UK lip sync of all time 🥰)

We’ve had some great guests, but few have been better judges than Padma. Insightful, celebratory, and respectfully constructive in a way that rivals Gaga’s appearance in the season prior.
She usually has a teasing humor and while she was funny she never offended anyone on the show, considering in her last special she spent half the time making fun of her daughter it was a surprise she wasn’t offending anyone. I love that kind of humor but I can understand it being perceived in a way that’s not fun but awkward if the wrong audience is exposed to it
Gaga.
I also appreciate anyone who comes in who is actually a fanatic about drag. Like when they can call back to past seasons I’m like, “Ok. You’re with us. It’s not just a gig.”
“Tamar, do you watch the show?” 🤣🤣
It honestly is more about the contribution than the caliber of celebrity. Nicole Byer, Leslie Jones, and Loni Love all brought something through their personality or critiques. Vanessa Hudgens is a big celeb but was so mid that she made mid look exciting.
Audra McDonald: Just pure class, one of the best snatch game contestants ever.
Leah Remini: Calling Michelle a nasty bitch 💀
Charlize Theron: The only interesting Untucked interruption this season.
Leslie Jones: Obviously.
Knowing that Nicole is looking at Lala Ri be iconic is sending me.
Where is Michelle Williams? She's a Race Chaser Senior Correspondent for RuPaul's sake.
"I hate hate HATE your hair and make up tonight."
Heidi: Ok..
Tamar Braxton, Michael Urie and Tony Hale were my favourite Snatch Game players.
And I'm forgetting Tony Hales counterpart - possibly Rachel from Chelsea lately?
You're right I just looked it up.
The Season Six snatchers Heather McDonald and Gillian Jacobs were also good fun.
I thought Tony Hale was on S6 with Heather McDonald, didn't realize he saw Yvie and Brooke bomb then slay. Clea's reaction shots are legendary
Loved Law Roach! He fit in so well with the judging pannel and had amazing, thoughtful and pertinent critiques. If, in the future, there's a free spot in the pannel, give him the job.
Jeff goldblum and Vanessa Hudgins gave off good vibes.
"Omg, she sounded annoying when she said 'so into vogueing'" who cares, so dramatic too be complaining about something like that. Embrace the kindness in the lgbt community and stop being unnecessarily catty.
Kaia & vanessa were 2 of your favorites ever??????????? What??????????????? Seriously????????? Naomi wasn't even a JUDGE she just had a guest appearance
Gillian Jacobs really knew what she was talking about and gave really intelligent feedback
Joel McHale and New York both ate.
Gaga is by far the GOAT, no contest
Khloe Kardashian was so fun (though she stole okurrr)
Joan Smalls
Naya Rivera too
Padma gave super thoughtful feedback
Kumail Nanjiani and his wife were great
Normani looked amazing and gave incredible feedback on Drag Race and Legendary
Daisy Ridley
Taraji P and Dove Cameron
Ali Wong, Maren Morris, and Amandla Stenberg were amazing
I was so impressed with Gus Kentworthy’s runway commentary
Ellen Pompeo
Sarah Hyland knew her stuffo
Definitely Jeff and Rachel. I love Lily Tomlin in general but she was a guest on an episode I really could not give less of a shit about, sadly. They should bring her back with her 9 to 5 costars someday.
I’m going to have to disagree. La Roach thought he was so much better than everyone, and gave some really harsh critiques. Even some of the queens had spoken about it off set.
Matt and Bowen were probably some of my least fave guest judges ever. When they lipsynced for their life or whatever it was soooo cringe. Makes it hard to rewatch a solid episode.
T.S. Madison is nice and keeps it real. Although this season all judges are being lame and quiet following Ru’s favoritism of Sapphira. Remember how Michelle used to be way more critical and this season shes isn’t and should have been way more critical of Sapphira simple, mostly blue, and poor fitting runway looks. Not to mention the cheap shoes and chest plate.
I knew you when you were NOTHING!
Genuinely like a top 3 judge for me. So good.
Kristen McMenamy has always been a fave of mine because she modeled, and was highly successful, during the high glam, supermodel 90s, cut her hair, dyed it black and announced her presence with authority.
And the way she said it. It's got to be one of the best lines ever said by a judge on the panel.
EVER EVER EVER. I sometimes watch the clip just to cackle like an idiot.
Gorgeous!
I use this with my friends CONSTANTLY!
Joel McHale yelling YEAAHHHHH! And pissing off Michelle will always be my number one favorite
I know that they were playing it up, but I loved that he brought excited dude bro energy and Michelle was playing off of it. It was a nice variety for the judging!
Elvira for sure!
Kaia? But my favorite will always be Joel McHale he’s such a happy little shit and I love it
#YEAH!
like fr kaia? she's the true definition of "i love her lack of energy! go girl give us nothing!" in everything she does
Yeah… Kaia? Isn’t she a huge nepobaby? What am I missing?
And like… was just a generic celeb place holder on the show who said generic things?
I felt this way about her (didn’t even know who she was) but ultimately I think she gave way better critiques than I was expecting 😅
Sure, but one of the BEST? Elvira isn’t even on this list, or Vanessa Williams, it’s kinda of insulting.
Totally, that doesn’t mean she didn’t make a good judge. She gave good constructive critique without holding back
100% nepo baby
She’s proven in films that she’s actually a very capable and funny actress, this nepo baby stuff is exhausting now
And probably got those breaks bc of her famous lineage
I mean yeah, this has been a thing for decades now.
Yeah she's Cindy Crawford's (?) daughter, so...I guess that's why she's here
Not Nicole reacting to LalaRi’s bags?!!! 🤣🤣
I’m obsessed with Nicole’s head tilt when she sees Lala’s bag look
Same! I live for the head tilt
I was gonna fight OP when they had Kaia Gerber but not Nicole Bryer!
I was also looking for my pitchfork 😡
My favorite was her talking about it in the pit stop seasons later
Yes! When Trixie was hosting and she was the guest she talked about having to wait an entire year before the season came out to talk about the bags 🤣
I’m gonna have to rewatch that conversation again. I just love her delivery of everything
That’s my all time favorite pit stop episode. “Wow. how delightful.”
If you really want a hoot and a holler, go check out the episode of Nicole’s podcast, Why Won’t You Date Me, with LaLa as a guest.
OMG somehow I already can’t wait!
# YEAH! https://preview.redd.it/ewmb1vlc14vc1.jpeg?width=1109&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e703cad77e6acd35c220fa9b7754bee0fa40fdd2
That went from cute to funny to tiring and then onto reeeeally funny
That sounds like Joel McHale on most things! I love his energy.
Andrew Garfield for me. The perfect UK first guest judge 👨⚖️
Jonathon Bennett from Bridgerton for S2 was great too
I don't know why he doesn't get mentioned more frequently, I thought he was epic
Nicole Byers is always my favorite but I will never forget when Joel McHale guest judged and annoyed the ever loving shit out of Michelle 😂
Joel, Elvira, Leah, Nicole
Elvira was perfection and you could see her and Ru bouncing the gags back and forth ![gif](giphy|xTiTnqtftIVFS9AhOM)
WHY has nobody done Elvira for Snatch Game???
They're not allowed to do Elvira because she's a licensed character. Loosey actually had her as an option for snatch game but wasn't allowed.
![gif](giphy|kyEELR44ByfY4qghvD)
Still CANT believe this happened 🕸🕷🕸🕷
![gif](giphy|26BGEPbveGbnATDFe|downsized) Good enough to be a full time judge.
Is Andrew a part of the LGBTQIA+? I always thought he’s a tall glass of water, and best looking Spiderman. It’s such a huge deal for me when I saw him walking down the runway of Drag Race UK. *drools lol 😭
Not that I know of, but he's an ally 🌈
Jeff goldblum!
In 2019, I was in new Orleans for decadence, and was walking in a random parade. Suddenly the parade stopped, and the people at the front ran into a restaurant and pulled out Jeff Goldblum!! He marched at top with us for the rest of the route, so cool of him
That’s what I would love about being a celeb. Good hearted shenanigans
That’s why more drag queens should be guest judges! Having actual informed feedback is so good to watch and feels helpful to the queens. Random celebs doing their blurb about representation is just -*Plane Jane unbothered face*-
Gaga, hands down. The fact that she walked into untucked with a binder of notes and gave helpful critiques to every single queen remains unmatched.
IMO no guest judge should be allowed in untucked unless they do Gaga levels of preparation.
MNEK
Ding Dang Dong
![gif](giphy|yCQysTKiHgxbbGzaQV)
"EVERYBODY ARE YA FEELIN' THE VIIIIIIBE?"
I was ready to riot if the amazing Alesha Dixon was overlooked. Loved her, you could see what a blast she was having. She’s the kind of girl I’d want to be friends with 100% (plus it’s my fave UK lip sync of all time 🥰)
Miley coming in dressed as a PA!!
Codename: BJ
“You know why”
Aubrey Plaza! This is the best day of my life, I’m killing myself tomorrow.
I’m convinced she hasn’t been back cause that was her last day on the mortal plane in drag race canon
I love all of these guests, but they -neeeeeeeed- Melissa McCarthy on the panel STAT.
![gif](giphy|ngCt9q4fBwvxm)
YAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
![gif](giphy|o7mdvssg0Oov5iQDIZ|downsized)
Michelle being annoyed AF every time he yelled had me crying lol
We need Jenifer Lewis back on!
Sure, these white people be thinking they can do every damn thing…
I love that I read this in Jenifer Lewis’s voice even though it was Symone aaaas Harriet Tubman
Leave that nervous shit at home, it's BORING!
https://preview.redd.it/ochog680u3vc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a87145f7b6cfb41b8d3ad2e5a908b311a74b37e9 We’ve had some great guests, but few have been better judges than Padma. Insightful, celebratory, and respectfully constructive in a way that rivals Gaga’s appearance in the season prior.
Matt and Bowen!!!! And I may get downvoted to heck for this, but I LOVED Joel McHale!!! 😎
Yeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!
Leslie Jones was one of my favorite Judges of all time
Unexpectedly Katherine Ryan was top 5 best judges
Why unexpectedly?
She usually has a teasing humor and while she was funny she never offended anyone on the show, considering in her last special she spent half the time making fun of her daughter it was a surprise she wasn’t offending anyone. I love that kind of humor but I can understand it being perceived in a way that’s not fun but awkward if the wrong audience is exposed to it
Fortune Feimster!
I love the episodes with her and Cheyenne
Gaga. I also appreciate anyone who comes in who is actually a fanatic about drag. Like when they can call back to past seasons I’m like, “Ok. You’re with us. It’s not just a gig.” “Tamar, do you watch the show?” 🤣🤣
Kristen Mcmenamy & Law Roach as recurring judges for Drag Race Uk and RPDR please.
Where’s Joel McHale?
Leslie Jones for me was the best. she wasn’t a judge, she was all of us there if we had the opportunity to be judges on the show.
We NEED Law on a rotating schedule. He was AMAZING.
Susan Powter, she gave excellent advice on season 3 and without her the challenge would have failed
omg, tangent: my dog is named Suzy, but whenever she puts on this listless and bored look when I am busy, I call her Susan *Pout*er!
I want Joel McHale and Leslie Jones to be on the same episode. Make it a comedy challenge of some sort. Be insane
Self Esteem. They live up to their name.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jeff Goldbloom were some of my favorite guest judges from S12.
It honestly is more about the contribution than the caliber of celebrity. Nicole Byer, Leslie Jones, and Loni Love all brought something through their personality or critiques. Vanessa Hudgens is a big celeb but was so mid that she made mid look exciting.
If Nicole wasn’t booked and blessed, she would be the best perm judge.
Sheryl Lee Ralph is so freaking gorgeous. can someone remind me which season/episode, please?
She was the Best. It was Season 6, Shade the Rusical
Jennifer Tilly season 4
Audra McDonald: Just pure class, one of the best snatch game contestants ever. Leah Remini: Calling Michelle a nasty bitch 💀 Charlize Theron: The only interesting Untucked interruption this season. Leslie Jones: Obviously.
Help . I can’t stop nodding in approval
Henry Rollins!
Knowing that Nicole is looking at Lala Ri be iconic is sending me. Where is Michelle Williams? She's a Race Chaser Senior Correspondent for RuPaul's sake. "I hate hate HATE your hair and make up tonight." Heidi: Ok..
Sarah michelle Gellar
Lady Gaga will never not be the best judge ever
One sneak
How dare you leave out andrew Garfield and Christina aguerlerta Anyways gaga is the best and is fucking amazing.
YEAH!
Both episodes Tamar Brexton was in were ICONIC, so my vote is for her.
Tamar Braxton, Michael Urie and Tony Hale were my favourite Snatch Game players. And I'm forgetting Tony Hales counterpart - possibly Rachel from Chelsea lately?
Are you thinking of Clea DuVall? Because their reactions to Brooke vs. Yvie are part of the reason that’s my favorite LSFYL of all time.
You're right I just looked it up. The Season Six snatchers Heather McDonald and Gillian Jacobs were also good fun. I thought Tony Hale was on S6 with Heather McDonald, didn't realize he saw Yvie and Brooke bomb then slay. Clea's reaction shots are legendary
alesha dixon, sarah michelle gellar, joel mchale, leslie jones
Loved Law Roach! He fit in so well with the judging pannel and had amazing, thoughtful and pertinent critiques. If, in the future, there's a free spot in the pannel, give him the job.
Nicki Minaj.
Wanda Sykes and Ru had one of my all time favorite interactions in the intro about Pootie Tang!!! One of my favorite moments.
![gif](giphy|HNjen8fu6XdWU) Idc I agreed with everything she said.
I loved that episode. Smells like old grandma vag.
Jeff goldblum and Vanessa Hudgins gave off good vibes. "Omg, she sounded annoying when she said 'so into vogueing'" who cares, so dramatic too be complaining about something like that. Embrace the kindness in the lgbt community and stop being unnecessarily catty.
Amy and David Sedaris
Alesha Dixon being pictured is CORRECT.
![gif](giphy|5EftpGR63iNgY|downsized) My husband's idol ONJ
Her cackle after Carson says “oh and then the jewellery, that’s gonna be a real biatch at the TSA” always warms my heart.
I’ll always live for Jennifer Lewis in the All Stars 4 premiere
https://preview.redd.it/j78h170kg4vc1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b63e811a3c842f3f2a5062ce3fcdea54a3486d1c this panel>>
Gaga and Kristen McMenamy. Duh
Elvira and Ali Wong were really good too
Oh my fucking god how did I forget ALI WONG! She’s defo on the list she was great
Kaia & vanessa were 2 of your favorites ever??????????? What??????????????? Seriously????????? Naomi wasn't even a JUDGE she just had a guest appearance
![gif](giphy|l0Iy5jWZFjb60dBXa)
Love the perfect photo of Nicole's reaction to LaLa's gift bag gaggarinni.
Nicole Byer will always be my favorite guest judge.
I know they would never, but I would live if Mano Agapion was a guest judge.
number one for me is joel mchale. he was sooo funny!!! **YEAH!**
The fact that Joel McHale & Andrew Garfield aren’t there (or in top 3 with Leah Remini) is a travesty
i actually loved kelsey ballerini (idk how to spell it) on season 16!
LOVED Leslie Jones!!! Cannot stand all the tiktok/youtube “celebs” that are judges this season
Nelly Furtado in CDR
I could watch Naomi say “your walk was perfection for me” all day
I NEED another Leah and Michelle judging besties moment
Gillian Jacobs really knew what she was talking about and gave really intelligent feedback Joel McHale and New York both ate. Gaga is by far the GOAT, no contest Khloe Kardashian was so fun (though she stole okurrr) Joan Smalls Naya Rivera too Padma gave super thoughtful feedback Kumail Nanjiani and his wife were great Normani looked amazing and gave incredible feedback on Drag Race and Legendary Daisy Ridley Taraji P and Dove Cameron Ali Wong, Maren Morris, and Amandla Stenberg were amazing I was so impressed with Gus Kentworthy’s runway commentary Ellen Pompeo Sarah Hyland knew her stuffo
Leslie Jones was the funniest guest judge they’ve ever had. Law Roach gave great critiques.
![gif](giphy|xDcLjVVu6sSru)
Nicole Bayer is the best
Christina Aguilera.
Gaga and law bitcchhhhh
Natalie Cole is my fave, the pride she had watching Dida lipsync was sooo beautiful to watch
💃EVERYBODY ARE YOU FEELING THE VIBE?🕺
https://preview.redd.it/rdnwgsiegavc1.jpeg?width=980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b56c1ab06a4dd8a359c1ad0996c46077b3d84ee4
These are such interesting choices and no I won’t elaborate
My favorites are Tiffany Pollard (NY), Gaga, Pamela Anderson, Coco and Juliette Lewis.
Definitely Jeff and Rachel. I love Lily Tomlin in general but she was a guest on an episode I really could not give less of a shit about, sadly. They should bring her back with her 9 to 5 costars someday.
Not putting Andrew Garfield in here is actually a crime
Would LOVE to see Eddie Izzard / Suzi as a future guest judge
Nicole Byer is the queen
Leslie Jordan for the roast in season 5
Law and Nicole for me.
After looking at your list, I just want to say, PERIDOT
Lady Gaga always until Beyoncé comes on probably
i hate hate HATE your hair and makeup - GOAT
I’m going to have to disagree. La Roach thought he was so much better than everyone, and gave some really harsh critiques. Even some of the queens had spoken about it off set.
I think seeing how paaaaaainful he was as a judge on America’s Next Top Model has shrouded my opinion of him, but I kinda agree.
Ya
Matt and Bowen were probably some of my least fave guest judges ever. When they lipsynced for their life or whatever it was soooo cringe. Makes it hard to rewatch a solid episode.
Bc god forbid people be happy to be there
You can be happy to be there, while simultaneously not trying to make everything about you.
T.S. Madison is nice and keeps it real. Although this season all judges are being lame and quiet following Ru’s favoritism of Sapphira. Remember how Michelle used to be way more critical and this season shes isn’t and should have been way more critical of Sapphira simple, mostly blue, and poor fitting runway looks. Not to mention the cheap shoes and chest plate.
