Trixie Motel: Drag Me Home
What's the Story?
In a follow-up to Trixie Motel, TRIXIE MOTEL: DRAG ME HOME focuses on drag queen superstar Trixie Mattel and partner David Silver. They've been through it all together: from Trixie's early drag days to her becoming an international sensation after winning RuPaul's Drag Race, and even running a motel together. But Trixie thinks it's time to take their relationship to uncharted territory: living together for the first time. Between running the motel and Trixie's condo overflowing with wigs, the pair decide they need to make a new space that's just for them. After buying a slight fixer-upper for $3 million, they've got $150,000 and four weeks to build their dream home in time for Trixie's birthday. Along with designer Dan Vickery, Trixie and David must stay within budget, stay on schedule, and compromise their needs in a home that should also be fit for a queen.
Is It Any Good?
This series has the structure of a renovation show and the exaggerated humor of drag. Trixie Motel: Drag Me Home is punny, dramatic, and occasionally sincere. Trixie's dry humor, charisma, and fashion is always entertaining (she is a legend after all). It's also interesting to watch the couple as they share some honest and sincere moments. Fans will get their drag and HGTV fix in one place. Despite the innuendos and swearing, it's suitable for most teens.
