Rupaul’s Drag Race UK

Veronica Green's my overall favourite, really nice, good at the singing/acting, great outfits that she makes herself and stunning in a Julia Roberts slightly quirky way.
also really like Tia Koffe although agreed her looks are a bit basic.
probably the older scot and the older comedy queen next (struggling with all the names still).
the bitchy one can just fuck off now please. she's middle of the pack never gonna win so the sooner her and her drama are gone the better.
bit sad for Cherry this week as there were a few others that could have been bottom two, it's a tight race this year everyone is doing ok. although she 100% lost that lip sync.
 
Waaay better than the US season at the moment I reckon, as well as being higher budget than last UK season... it's more like the earlier US seasons now, love it. The US one jumped the shark a bit I reckon, it had a good run though.

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.

I reckon the US one is a victim of its own success a bit too. And maybe they just ran out of the really really good contestants.
 
Yeah I love Veronica Green but she really looks like an American actress but I don't know who exactly....
 
The hairy arse made me giggle. In fact that whole "take off a dress to reveal... the same dress" was great. Ginny Lemon is my favourite I think.
 
I like that Veronica Green is geeky 😎 and funny too. Definitely my favourite along with Tia. I actually love how "basic" (don't like that term anyway) Tia Kofi is. I don't know, however, if it's lack of cash or "taste" , but either way, I like it and either of those can be remedied. She has lots of personality and seems quite intelligent and a very good team leader too. Will make a good drag mother one day, I think.

As for the US version, I'm enjoying that too and the shock horror from the other queens when they were told one of them is 49 years old (my age) was amusing. Some interesting characters in there too.
 
Tia's joke that her alternative name was Tamera Boutros Boutros-Kali is still my best joke of the season so far. She really is good, but yeah she has to pick up her outfits a bit.

So glad that Veronica stood up for herself and then smashed that role. She looks so genuinely delighted when she does well.

I thought Lawrence really let herself down. I totally understood that she's not a musical performer but I thought her catwalk outfit was pretty shit really. Her cleavage was a mess. Still, she's obviously top entertainment so glad she's still in.
 
Symone! Will probably go far on the US drag race. My current favourite :) And Utica as the quirky, "one of a kind" queen (despite there being a "one of a kind" every season :confused: ). /derail
 
I was gutted for Cherry Valentine. I thought she came across as a really lovely person, and very talented, but she didn't come up with the goods when it mattered, sadly. The fact that she's a mental health nurse and also works in a nail bar (?) really endeared me to her. She really reminded me of a young Marc Almond as well. She was my favourite, personality wise, and now she's gone. Boo! She'll go far, though.

Bimini - shone really well in the Rats performance
Asstina - deffo one to watch - last week's East London look was spot on
A'whora - looks just like Adore Delano don't you think? :D. Absolutely the shadiest!
Tia Coffee - love her, very talented, kind too
Lawrence Cheney - I love her. Clearly she's a comedy queen, and I think did well to push through her demons in the Rats performance
Ginny Lemon - really reminds me of Su Pollard. A character queen for sure. She might be a dark horse I reckon
Tayce - she's beautiful, eyes like Todrick Hall, and kind. But she needs to up her game, as the judges said
Sister Sister - a bit dull, one to go next possibly
Elledy Diamond - one to watch, also, I think
Veronica Green - omg I wasn't expecting that! Incredible performance. Just goes to show, the old saying 'the emptiest vessels make the most noise' is quite often true! ;). Sometimes the quiet ones turn out to be the ones that have the most talent and go on to win, not needing to blow their own trumpets. . I'm reminded of Sasha Velour, Jinkxx Monsoon (who was quiet to begin with) .... I think Veronica really could win this. Yay for geeks!

Utica is my current favourite on the US one. Absolutely delightful. Really reminded me of Evie Oddly...
 
Ahora wishes she was Adore. Adore was just pure :oops:
Ahora IS fit though. But soooo shady lol

Tia is getting the basic to winner journey shots though. Which is fine, love her.

Even annoyingly and inadvertently started liking Ginny and Bimini for reasons that will be clear later, those of you yet to watch it.

So many really likeable queens!
 
I didn't think it was that surprising! I was all prepared for Ginny to go as they were doing her 'story'. Then Tia kofi was the 2nd choice as she seems to be really working her socials this week. But in the end I'm happy with the choice.
 
Laurence Chaney (sp?) had a beautiful dress and i actually wasn't a massive fan of Ahora's outfit, fashion queen or not, i thought it was between LC and her gold rival.

Slightly shocked at Tia's lip sync win but she did do a good job (totally different style) and i think the judges can see her potential and the other girl whose name i can't spell is a bit more typical beautiful but less other talent. Tia has the best personality, loved her bit to camera about her crappy outfit :D

and if i couldn't love Veronica Green more, she had the nerve to tell Ahora off for her super shady rant. you could see the other girls were thinking she was being super harsh but only VG was outraged enough to call it out. Ahora just doesn't like Tia, but she is loads more talented than her (apart from the fashion!).

also my opinion of Tace (sp) is going downhill for being friends / shagging such a bitch.

Yes, she was great, wasn't she! More of that sister solidarity please!

I definitely think Asstina was the right person to leave in Episode 3. Her outfit was really uninteresting
.

Personally I think Bimini should have won the catwalk in Episode 3, but Lawrence Cheney was pretty good.

I think Tia is definitely one to watch, and Ginny. I think sometimes it's the less obvious ones that end up winning. Because I think to RuPaul, the ability to learn from your mistakes, to grow and challenge yourself and above all to be kind, are AS important as being a great all-round entertaining queen.

Just watched (I do a transatlantic double bill on a Saturday).

So pleased at the result I actually cheered.

I had been thinking Ginny Lemon was coming across a bit “one trick” which, had Bagga not been in season one would have seemed fresh and more fun (because USA drag really doesn’t seem to embrace frumpy grotesques). Interesting to see how willing she was to change direction.

Tayce and A’whora (and also Astina - though not so much this week) suffer from being “I’m sexy and I know it”. Drag race almost never rewards this ;(Tyra in S2 is perhaps the sole exception). These kinds of girls bring a high school dynamic and always underestimate the clever-but-less-conventional ones. Considering how many queens would’ve been bullied at school, it’s no wonder it works against them in Drag Race.

Tia is one of my favourite queens ever, though her runways are stone cold dreadful. She’s so witty but not at all arrogant and I genuinely want to be her friend quite badly.

Lawrence is fucking fabulous and they (Ru and Michelle) clearly love her. Her reaction to the winner announcement this week was brilliant.

Veronica is growing on me. I find her so awkward in the talking head bits that I wasn’t keen to start. And Tia was better in Rats. Loved her sticking up for Tia though.

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!!
 
Yes tbh actually picking the winner is tricky, but tia is def top 3.

Just watch the usa one, its picking up a bit but still a bit dull compared to the uk series
