The thing is that the Vivienne was SO full of herself and so arrogant, I find it a bit incredible that people are saying that Divina was boastful. Yeah she did go on that one time because she felt she was being overlooked and underestimated. But she still came across well to me. And actually she was more well rounded than V, who imo won because of that Trump impression and yeah the relatability for the Americans.

... than V, who imo won because of that Trump impression and yeah the relatability for the Americans.

And for having more charisma and better stage presence

 

[han]

Let's face it, The Vivienne's Charisma, Uniqueness Nerve and Talent is huge and growing!

 

[strung out]

Well she's definitely a cunt

 

[poului]

So, this is happening...

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I did tip the Viv to win but was hoping Davina would and I thought she slayed it in that lips synch but ah well.

 

[mango5]

I believe that the next series starts filming in March

 

[smmudge]

I heart Alyssa

 

[smmudge]

Bit confused from the last ep of AS5, though I'm sure miz cracker & blair st clair really felt like they dodged a bullet there!!!

Whatever happened I'm not loving Alexis this series, which is a shame as I really liked her in season 3 and I think she was good in AS1?

I'm not caught up from last night's yet so squinting badly at your post for potential spoilers BUt yeah, Alexis getting a dickhead edit (?), on her 3rd go around!

 

[mango5]

The right result in AS5, phew!

 

[Steel Icarus]

The right result in AS5, phew!

Yeah. Like Mrs SI and I agreed, the other two were terrific, but she's a star.

 

[smmudge]

Yep defo, she had it from the beginning really! They played it really fair with their voting this All Stars, I think it helped that they all got a vote.

On another note, here is a list of drag race 'Queens of colour' and ways to support them Drag Race Support List :

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Starting AS S5 now. I could use some Queen action to cheer me up...as they always do

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Sorry - I'm very late to the party but Ongina...my all time favourite ❤

 

[smmudge]

I love Ongina! Probably the sweetest queen ever. But AS5 made me fall in love with JuJuBee like I hadn't before!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Just finished Episode 1 of UK Season 2 - marked improvement on S1. Far more professional, some of the outfits were stunning, I like a lot of the queens. Going to enjoy this.

 

[smmudge]

Gutted that Joe Black went first! We saw him in a show a while ago and he's so good. But stage doesn't always translate well to TV and he didn't really get to show much of his talents.

 

[girasol]

Wrong queen got sent home

Yeah, I wanted to see more of him for sure. Seemed he had some amazing outfits/characters to show. .

I thought his David Bowie/Brighton combo was stronger than some of the other people who were safe, it was almost as if they wanted to get rid of him for some reason not apparent to us.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Yeah, Joe Black was Mrs SI's immediate favourite - Joe's drag was definitely different to the others' and I was surprised she was porkchopped. Thought Bish Bosh Babodook's Norwich City outfit was one of the worst I've ever seen on any Drag Race episode, ever.

Why oh why didn't he wear tights?

 

[Sapphireblue]

yeah i thought it was a bit picky to put that gorgeous outfit in the bottom two just cos it didn't scream Brighton. apart from the Norwich city shocker there were no obvious mistakes but there are a couple i immediately don't like so would have been happy to see them go. really liked the look of Joe as well, thought they were a contender.
i always think it's a bit harsh to judge UK drag by American drag standards as well, they're much more about the perfect look and the death drop whereas UK drag is personality and often live singing. so if some mediocre queen (Bish Bosh i'm talking about you!) does a load of enthusiastic dancing in the lip sync they can beat someone much better imo.

 

[Little Piranha]

So happy it's finally back. Spliff, glass of wine, drag race UK.

I'm not so sure I agree with you guys though. I thought Joe Black looked amazing when she first came in (I am a big sequin fan) but I didn't think she really followed the brief on either outfit and that is kind of the point. Gutted not to see more of those wigs though.

That said, Bimini's Norwich outfit was super tacky and her entrance was so shit ("I'm Vegan!"??? What the hell is that?).

Bit in love with Veronica Green, she's so sweet. I wonder if she's going to get torn apart.

 

[Plumdaff]

Joe Black seemed to give up in the lipsync, too. Say what you like about Bibimbap's outfit (and you should) she really went for it, in a thong, with no tights or pants on.

Can't decide who I really like yet. Obs supporting a local queen (Tayce) but it's a very strong bunch.

 

[tommers]

It takes itself less seriously than the po-faced US version,which is good. I liked Bimini. The entrance was cos vegans always say they are vegans when you meet them.

Fancy a slice?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I live Laurence Chaney but Veronica Green's hometown dress....omg omg OMG!! GORGEOUS!!

It's interesting having the US and UK versions in parallel. You're right there's a distinct difference. A lot more comedy in the UK version.

 

[smmudge]

Not feeling the LFYL song choices so far this series. Not the best use of the blanket music licence!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Really sad about that elimination.
