This is turns out to be rather straightforward once you realize that this is perfectly symmetric: it's just a matter of in which order you are revealing the colors. So this problem is exactly the same as looking at the first (second) ball, seeing that it's blue, then drawing a (revealing the already drawn) second ball. So there are two reds and one blue 'left'. So 1/3. (I am 95% sure...)
