I absolutely ADORE the fact that Rhys Nicholson is dressed as Tintin for Taskmaster Australia. Their shirt even has Snowy on it!

Rhys immediately insisting that it wasn't a spill because it wasn't an accident was exactly what I was hoping for when they decided to throw the coffee off the balcony in a plastic bag. Beautiful. I am 100% behind this shenaningans.

Now, the term 'a gay' is gonna come up here quite a few times. I love the term 'a gay' - it sounds like something you might order at a bakery.

Taskmaster Australia Series 2 Cast Revealed

Alex Horne told Variety Australia: “The Australian Taskmaster’s assistant [Cashman] is efficient and kind and I want him to be my friend, so I’m really glad they’re doing another season. Greg and I watched the first one together with some snacks and drinks and really enjoyed it and I’m pretty sure we’ll do the same next time around.”

Rhys Nicholson isn't 'the new Michelle' on Drag Race Down Under

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/rhys-nicholson-isnt-the-new-michelle-on-drag-race-down-under/

Rhys Nicholson isn't 'the new Michelle' on Drag Race Down Under

Rhys Nicholson says there will be queens judging queens on season 4 of Drag Race Down Under, and the comedian is not the “the new Michelle” after RuPaul’s exit as host.

The lineup for Drag Race Down Under season four finally dropped earlier in the week. Season four premieres in Australia on Stan on Friday, November 1.

The latest cast of Down Under queens gathered for a drag brunch at The Imperial in Erskineville, Sydney, to celebrate this year’s 30th anniversary of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

This week, Rhys Nicholson went on UK vs the World winner Tia Kofi’s podcast The Final FronTia this week and the pair spilled a whole lot of behind-the-scenes tea about Drag Race.

“I’m in the same seat [in season four]. I thought about [taking Michelle’s], and we talked about it,” Rhys explained.

“We have a rotating series of winning queens in the Michelle seat.”

Rhys shut down any talk that they’re the “New Michelle” in the new season.

“People have said to me, ‘you’re the new Michelle’. No, I’m never going to be the person to read these queens,” they said.

“If you watch me as a judge, I will never, ever read a look. I’ll never go into specifics because I don’t feel that’s my job.

“That’s what the fashion judges are for. I’m there to be like, ‘this performance wasn’t 100% genuine, I don’t think.’

“I’m never going to read someone on an eye or something. There’s been a couple of times I’ve tried to… I’ll just watch Michelle be like, ‘You don’t know what you’re talking about.’ No, I don’t.

“I feel like I’m a conduit for the audience. I feel like Michelle and Ru and our guests, they’re the judges.”

Rhys Nicholson loves the Drag Race Down Under season four lineup

Rhys Nicholson said as a diehard drag fan, when some of their friends join Drag Race Down Under it was a “very odd” experience.

“In the first season, I’d worked with people like Karen from Finance and Art Simone quite a few times,” Rhys said.

“Also in some situations, I’d been really drunk with [them]. Suddenly, I’m sitting at a desk like, ‘Hello, let’s not talk about how many times you’ve seen me throw up.'”

The comedian said when drag queens they know suddenly can’t do gigs, they can’t talk about it but “it’s clear we’re both going to the same place”.

“I’m not saying this in a pluggy way, but genuinely there are some girls [in season four] that I’ve wanted to be on for a long time,” Rhys said.

“It’s not like I get any say. I turn up for the first episode and they give me a little folder. It’s always fun to find out who’s on the show.

‘The long hours and days of TV’

Rhys and Tia discussed their behind-the-scenes experiences of filming their respective seasons of Drag Race.

Rhys explained, “It must be really scary. Queens are pulled out of a club scene, performing at midnight, and then put on a TV show.

“Suddenly you’re doing the long hours and long days of a TV record. You suddenly have to be hyper-professional in an industry you haven’t worked in until just now.

“Usually after the show, whoever the [top queens] are, we’ll get them each a bottle of something. It’s not that it’s anticlimactic, but [after the final episode] there’s no parade planned for you or anything.

“You don’t know what’s going to happen until it’s on TV. It’s just three or four drag queens getting out of makeup quietly and packing up their things. Then you have to wait a year.

“In the last few seasons, I’ve gotten the girls each a bottle of champagne. We’ll have a drink and I let them decompress as their phones are given back to them.”

The special guests on Drag Race Down Under season four will be confirmed soon. The new season starts streaming on November 1 in Australia on Stan.
