I actually really liked Merle. If you watch the first seasons, she is a really great judge because she has no preconceived notion of what “drag is”, unlike Michelle. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Michelle, she’s the real mama on drag race, but having her and Merle on the panel together would have been very interesting. Should have replaced Santino with her and kept Merle.
Michelle you is the Qween, Mother, Goddess of the world and this out and proud poppa polar bear is honored just to get to hear you speak! This community needs you. Thank you!
I really would have liked to see Merle and Michelle as permanent judges on the panel. Their good cop bad cop judging styles would compliment each other.
It's a reference to her book, part autobiography part life lessons. In a chapter she talks about a shady man that did her wrong a her job, who was wearing dockers.
Season 1 under Merle Bebe Zahara Benet(BORING DRAG) Season 1 under Michele Visage Shannel Season 2 under Merle Tyra Sanchez Season 2 under Michele Raven ... I TRULY BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TWO DIFFERENT SHOWS....
Although I agree about Raven instead of Tyra, and that Bebe shouldn't have won, I don't think Michelle Visage would had that much influence, because the final decision is made by RuPaul.
Honestly, Michelle has said that Ru pretty much calls all the shots with regards to who is eliminated and who wins, so I don't think her being there would have made that much of a difference. But, I guess we'll never know.
It is an incredibly limiting and shitty thing to be. It stems from the same ignorant mental space that racism does and we need to shut it down every opportunity we can.
Leah Remini, saving the world from Scientology and saving RuPaul's Drag Race
💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I like Michelle, she wins a piece of my heart in ever interview I see her.

Agreed, Santino was super weird anyway :D
I feel the same way. Merle was a fair judge and had a lot of funny moments. I wish they would ask her to come back.
Thank GOD for Leah. She's a boss ass bitch. 💋
I adore Michelle, but Merle is great too!!
Lady red out of nowhere YAHS!! Lol I love Michelle so much after these interviews.
I miss Lady Red! She was truly an icon.
Love the bit about Leah Reminy telling her to go to the CBS radio execs above her boss was the best. Her Boss (old one) got the karma he deserved
leah remini is such a fucking goddess i swear, every little thing i hear about her just makes me love her that much more
Merle is iconic. Her reaction to Shannel saying she doesn't want to be here anymore will forever be engraved in my brain.

Yay Leah , bless her heart!!!!
Michelle s husband is a staying at home dad omg I love it ❤️❤️

Leah Remini for Season 10!
I want a friend like Leah!
I love this story.
Michelle is spilling all the tea on this episode and I wish someone had told me.
That was exactly what I'd imagine Leah to say to Michelle
Lea Remini looking after her girl through all these years
Love the little bit of shade Johnny was throwing towards Meryl at the end lol
We all owe Leah a muffin basket!
loooooooove michelle
Go Leah! She’s such an inspiration!
That Merle Ginsberg used to host videowave in the early 80's I seen her interview bow wow wow,lydia lunch ect. She used 2 be punk as hell,she's cool
what is never trust a man in dockers meaning?

Has Hey Qween! ever talked to Mere? If not they better book an interview with her.
WhateverhappenedtoMerleGingsberg?

Oh please stop with the Bebe & Tyra hate, it's already so old... SMH
***** Yes. I could not agree with you more
+brunettexunicorn I am referring to BEFORE she made those comments!! Smh
Tbh, I miss Merle.
Not a fan of vicious visage. Preferred Merle.
Really don't understand what RuPaul sees in her. She is so talentless, it is breathtaking how you can become famous for doing NOTHING.
What?????
except she does EVERY THING
True friendship and chemistry is rare - so if Michelle has that with Ru then it’s priceless
"Omgg your a homophob!!" Girl stop thats not even the worst thing to be, get over it
It’s still pretty shitty, like you must be.
it kinda is ...
It is.

When your best friend is a GAY MAN, yeah, it is.
