Rupaul’s Drag Race UK

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.

Yes.

Tyra had a really unique kind of adorableness combined with an incredible statuesque grace which has never been seen since on Drag Race, I feel (she's my other 'arf' s favourite drag queen ever). And won despite behaving like an arsehole on several occasions! :D

But this is the exception rather than the rule on Drag Race. Most of the winners are quirky, characterful, aren't afraid of taking risks and trying something completely new, and are kind to their fellow queens.

This is why I think Tia could potentially win as she ticks all these boxes. But she really needs to sort out her runway looks, fast!

At the moment, I'm rooting for her, plus Lawrence, Bimini, and Ginny. And Veronica could deffo win, though she doesn't seem to do humour too well....

Really! I've always thought Tyra had basically no redeeming features and resented that she won her series, though it was a long time since I watched it so maybe I'm being mean. See also violet chachki, I appreciated her fashion more, but I feel like they had to try very hard to make her at all personable.

I defo laugh more when watching the UK series. That limbo was so fucking funny, ginny on the first one 🤣

I think the other queens found her hard to like. But there was just something about her I found adorable....can't put my finger on it.
 
I accidentally posted this on the other Ru Paul thread, but anyone who hasn't seen it and loves Drag Race should definitely check out We're Here. It's absolutely glorious. It's a mini series with Shangela, Bob The Drag Queen and Eureka.

Yes, maybe she's got an SSD hard drive embedded in her neck.... ;)

What I mean is, usually if I saw anyone with that tattoo... I mean "18" is the famous neo nazi tattoo, and adding "GB" at the end is a very unfortunate coincidence too. It was obv being displayed on purpose so I presume it means something else, but I'd quite like it explained
 
i was about to put is anyone buying the Ahora is a bitch cos she's insecure thing before i saw the above. am personally wondering if she's realised that the people remaining aren't that bitchy and has finally read the room.

glad to see Veronica escaped lip sync with her brilliant runway outfit. she was crap in the skit but Sister sister was so bland i thought she was definitely just as bad.

i agree that Ginny Lemon started too crazy and had nowhere to go. her outfit was fine. looks like everyone was in agreement that she'd peaked and had no more to give.

Tia awesome again, i think maybe with her lovely outfit she should have been top 3 instead of Biminy who had a good performance and a rough around the edges outfit.

Laurence Chaney did great in the challenge and the outfit and i do think Ginny's snark at her was a massive over-reaction.
 
The thing is I'd love to see Ginny at a bar, she'd be a hoot, but this show is about being multi-faceted and she isn't that. At the moment my not exactly out there pick for the win is Lawrence Cheney because she is an all rounder and very charming with it. A'whora's tattoo, bloody hell, that does need an explanation doesn't it? :hmm:
 
Yes. Good to see Tia in a decent runway, though seeing her side by side with A’whora in the challenge showed the quality difference in their styling. Notably, Tia’s wig and makeup were just a bit shit.

I did love Lawrence’s runway, but I’m surprised they didn’t read him for the tights and shoes which were completely unstyled and made the outfit look unfinished. Still the best all-rounder this week, but come on!

Glad A’whora lost it because of her sexy runway. Aldo wasn’t impressed by her tearful confessionals. She was sayin something like “they brought me down, so I bring others down” but of course the functional word there should be “bully”.

Ginny annoyed me this week. She was so angry about their feedback - I think she thought she was top three. I think she’s quite a fragile person and suspect it’s better for her well-being to be off.

Ellie Diamond has insane skills but that’s the third outfit with a cutaway crotch. No need! She will go soon. Hate misfired banter with Ru was awful to watch. Not 100% her fault but.., yeesh.
Sister sister is also obviously soon for the chop. The others all have at least one area of spectacular strength or, in bimini’s case, they’re a very strong all-rounder.
 
Ellie Diamond needs to learn you can't force a Ru Paul name catchphrase. You just get what you get if you're lucky enough to get one. Iiivyyyyyyy wiiinterrrrrrsss.
 
What an episode!

Glad Veronica saved herself with an excellent runway outfit. I don't think it was fair of Sister Sister to blame Veronica for her own crap goth performance. And then to bitch about her. That'll bite her on the arse for sure.

Bimini did a fantastic performance for the morning TV episode, plus the cake challenge as well. Runway outfit was very basic though.

Ahora - brilliant overall this week. One to watch for sure. But, this self pitying after being bitchy is just horrible. I can't see her winning for that reason alone.

Tia was very strong this week. I'm liking her more and more every episode. She's so funny, and bright, and sees through all the bitchy shit. And doesn't stoop to that level.

Lawrence - glorious performances. And the best runway look imo. The frontrunner. No bitchy shit coming from her at all.

Ginny - I have no words.

Tayce - as Veronica said, drag's not just about the clothes you wear. Good morning TV performance, though! I can't see her staying that long tbh.

Ellie Diamond will go soon, I think. Dreadful runway look.
 
oh poor Veronica! presume she tested positive literally at the point of 2 weeks to restart and counting as well so awful timing.

i am glad we got to see more of Joe Black and i'm also glad she went as wasn't that impressed :D

i think the down-side of having the nicer ones trying to choreograph the Bananas was that they toned the complexity down too much for the non-dancers. and the upside of the fashion bitches being on the other group was that the look was more cohesive. sad bitch-face Ahora gets to live another day but she did actually have a fairly strong week.

i don't think i'd fully realised that Laurence can't dance OR sing. its a good job she just fucked about comedically and covered the gaps in her skill set.

Tia did a great lip-sync. i do feel for her obviously not having been able to redo her costume in the down-time. Ru can judge but also this stuff takes money and i'm guessing if Tia couldn't afford decent stuff before lockdown she couldn't magically afford stuff now. does sound like she's managed to upgrade some of her upcoming looks though. fingers crossed.
 
Bimini is definitely shining bright and I'm starting to like A'whora 😱. Lawrence has always been very likeable too. But am I glad Tia is still in! I guess Veronica will be back next year.

Too right mate!

I really wanted Cherry Valentine to come back and was gutted that no-one voted for her. I really like her. Tbh I was very surprised that Joe Black had an almost unanimous vote and I don't really understand why? She's obviously talented, but I wouldn't say any more than Cherry. My other 'arf is a bit conspiracy theory about it, and thinks that they only voted for Joe because they want to get work in Brighton when this is all over. :D
.

I think Joe comes across as a nice person, easy to get on with. But I felt Cherry does even more so, so I didn't get it.

It's interesting, isn't it, that Ru didn't really praise Joe when he said' sashay away' like he normally does. I don't think he likes him, I just get that vibe.

Soso glad that Tia survived. Let's hope this is a bit of a wakeup call. She is sooo good enough to make the final but she has to up her runway game.

And. Poor Veronica!

Yep, Bimini, Tia, Lawrence still my faves, but now I'm starting to see that A'whora is bloody good, despite being shady.

Also, don't mean to be shady... But Joe Black = 30 years old? raises eyebrow FANTASTIC OUTFIT ON THE RUNWAY THOUGH, EH?

Also amusing how the group with the queens in their 20s were calling the other group, in which people are barely 30, "geriatrics" :D
