After a full
month of complaints about the shorter episode format on RuPaul's Drag
Race's fifteenth season, the Emmy-Award-winning competition series is
returning to its 90-minute format.
With the
announcement of Season 15 and the move to MTV, the series cut down the episodes
from 1.5-hour airtime to 1 with commercials. Ever since, both fans and the
queens have been complaining about the quickened pace of the show, chaotic
edit, and seconds-long runways. And they weren't afraid to let the network know
about their dissatisfaction. "We worked too hard and invested too much
money for a 45 min edit," contestant Salina EsTitties tweeted. "I say
this as a viewer and fan of the show. I just wanted to see more of the
gals."
Now, their prayers have been
answered. The series announced the news on social media. "Get ready,
racers," the official account tweeted.
Beginning
March 10, Drag Race officially returns to the hour-and-a-half
episode format.
But what does
that means for the Real Friends of WeHo, the controversial reality
series that many fans believed was the reason why episodes were shortened?
According to EW, "The channel also moved its new reality
show The Real Friends of WeHo to the hour immediately
following Drag Race, replacing the regular slot occupied by
companion show Untucked, which moved to 10 p.m. weekly as a
result."
