Trivia

• During Season 12's The Pit Stop Bob The Drag Queen wore the same houndstooth fabric pattern in different outfits, while during All Stars 5's The Pit Stop she wore looks themed around the colours of the rainbow pride flag.
  • On social media Bob has often joked that other queens and celebrities wearing houndstooth are stealing her look. During Bob's appearance on The Pit Stop for Season 13's Snatch Game, Trixie Mattel wore a houndstooth dress (which was the same dress Bob wore for Episode 4 of Season 12's Pit Stop) sent to her by Bob and joked that it was her look now.
• With the exception of Detox and Jujubee, all guest queens featured on Season 12's The Pit Stop are from New York.
• Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, episodes of The Pit Stop had to be filmed via video conference.
  • The latter half of Season 12, the entirety of All Stars 5 and Canada's Drag Race Season 1, and select episodes of Season 13 had to be filmed via video conference. The first episode of the series to be socially-distant filmed was Season 12 episode 7, with Aja as the guest.
  • The Pit Stop for Season 13 had Trixie in the studio with the guest on a screen. The exceptions to this are Episodes 3 and 4, when Trixie was at home on zoom with Priyanka and Jaida Essence Hall respectively; Episode 11, where BenDeLaCreme, who was presumably close enough to the studio to go in and was socially distanced from Trixie; and Episode 16, where Katya, who is a part of Trixie's quarantine pod, was socially distanced from Trixie.
• Season 12 Episode 11 was labelled as a mothers day special, this was because it was released on mothers day weekend and the host, Bob The Drag Queen, was joined by her drag daughter, Miz Cracker.
• For All Stars 5 all the guest queens invited for The Pit Stop were winners of a season of Drag Race.
• So far the only two queens to host three seasons of The Pit Stop are Raja (All Stars 2, Season 9 and Season 10) and Trixie Mattel (All Stars 4, Canada's Drag Race, Season 13 and All Stars 6).

• Season 13 queen Tina Burner is the first queen to appear on The Pit Stop (or an equivalent aftershow) before appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race - she appeared in High Tea (the UK's Pit Stop equivalent) for the first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 1.
• Brooke Lynn Hytes became the first judge to be on The Pit Stop after being a guest on the finale recap of Canada's Drag Race Season 1.
