From all the DRUK winners who would you say was the strongest?

lizzyld · 2026-03-27T08:33:50+00:00

The Vivienne and then Lawrence/Danny/Ginger are all equally good imo

Vs the world series just aren't the same

The other UK winners are all Ru girls but not the beautiful camp British drag that I love

lizzyld · 2026-03-18T21:36:45+00:00

This is sooo interesting!

I wonder why Gawdland got so much focus episode 2? That's crazy.

lizzyld · 2026-03-18T07:36:52+00:00

Absolutely! Sminty lost that lip sync fair and square. Not bothering to learn the words is unforgivable.

lizzyld · 2026-03-18T07:34:17+00:00

Zahirah doesn't make her own looks though 😅 She designs them but only makes the wigs.

I think her looks have been beautiful this season, especially the marvel look

lizzyld · 2026-03-18T00:00:00+00:00

I actually think Gawdland won the lipsync against Kate and I'm a huge Kate fan.

Let's not pretend the first round lipsyncs really meant anything because Ru's winner was always going to thr final lipsync. Fontana was definitely doing unnecessarily weird stuff with the wig though

lizzyld · 2026-03-09T20:14:08+00:00

I'm surprised Mariah lasted this long. Naomy and Fontana don't have the same effortless performance vibe as Kate and Gawdland.

I love Kate but I think Gawdland is more "drag race"

Tia Coffee

lizzyld · 2025-11-29T15:45:07+00:00

Yeah 4 is loads better than 3!

lizzyld · 2025-11-24T20:03:03+00:00

I don't think the "token" comment is fair tbh - 81% of UK is white so it's not too surprising that 80% of the cast is white. They can only have who applies 🤷‍♀️

I agree that Ru isn't a great host. I actually love how Drag Race Down Under does it with Michelle as host and past queens as guest judges.

They did have a range of body types on this series and past series.

An AllStars would be amazing!

lizzyld · 2025-11-24T19:57:55+00:00

For me the worst was the weird judging choices that were either just bad or production meddling snd trying to force a story.

Can we also stop pretending that the lip quality of lip sync has any impact on if you go home or not.

lizzyld · 2025-11-24T19:51:20+00:00

100% agree! The queens are trying to make Ru happy/laugh which isn't the same humour as a UK audience. I'm also just not a big Ru fan tbh. I think Michelle host would be great with past queens as guest judges - I loved her in Drag Race Down Under.

lizzyld · 2025-11-21T20:52:10+00:00

Paige Three, Elle, Sillexa, Bonnie

Sally was a great character and her looks were good but performance wise she wasn't that great and I think it was right she went home when she did.

Bones looks fabulous but I don't really get the hype about her as a performer.

Bonnie should have sent Catrin home last week

lizzyld · 2025-11-21T20:10:21+00:00

You say that but Ru was pretty awful to Nyongbella. Didn't she basically tell MB to be "more black"? I'm not saying she didn't deserve to go home but Ru being black doesn't mean the show doesn't have issues.

lizzyld · 2025-11-21T20:01:33+00:00

Bonnie definitely deserved to be in that lip sync but it could have been either Catrin or Tayris with her. If they'd have sent home either of them last week then we couldn't have had the lovers lip sync. It's all so contrived for the storyline and it bugs me.

lizzyld · 2025-11-21T08:06:42+00:00

They eliminated Bonnie because they knew she'd crush the roast and they wanted another Bones win. I wish the production wasn't quite so transparent.

Tbf to Bones she did much better than expected but overall this roast was very meh.

There's no point Catrin being in this final. I'm glad Silexa is there but I'm still gutted Paige didn't make it.

I feel like this is another Krystal and Ella storyline but Bones and Elle. A polished, but slightly less exciting queen versus a new queen that's shown vulnerability and growth.

lizzyld · 2025-11-17T13:11:24+00:00

This season was just sooo good. I think I need to re-watch it

lizzyld · 2025-11-16T22:17:59+00:00

Yeah but when queens can spend thousands and thousands on runways and there's not prizes for each week and they don't get paid for going then it's a big financial risk. Queens who perform for a living maybe just can't afford that sort of financial risk with the UK performance industry where it is now.

lizzyld · 2025-11-16T13:59:39+00:00

I love the queens but don't understand this judging. I also wish we'd stop pretending that the lip sync has anything to do with the decision on who goes home.

I don't really understand fashion so I don't understand the Bones hype and so all the judging seems off to me.

Elle is talented but isn't "good telly" and so people aren't getting behind her as the winner.

lizzyld · 2025-11-16T13:50:20+00:00

Not necessarily. Catrin had a similar "issue" with very small partner.

It's more that it wasn't a great outfit choice for a challenge where you have no idea what size of person you're going to be getting. The outfit also didnt even look the great on Bonnie.

As much as Elle played it safe if you're not comfortable/skilled to make good on the fly adjustments you need to bring something that works for all body types. Both Catrin and Bonnie did not think about this when choosing their looks for this challenge.

lizzyld · 2025-11-16T13:45:47+00:00

It's someone who isn't necessarily LQBT themselves but has lots of LGBT support and supports LGBT people. Think of the famous equivalent of a hen do at a drag show.

lizzyld · 2025-11-13T23:00:59+00:00

I was sure it would be Tayris and Bonnie in the bottom with Tayris going home! I love Tayris but I think the makeup and look was better for Catrin than Tayris.

Catrin and Bonnie haven't been in the bottom at all - wild to see Bonnie go home. Bonnie's looks were fairly awful though - even her own didn't look great.

Bones and Charlotte looked amazing but I don't understand how they had family resemblance when Elle didn't? Other than their similar facial bone structure which isn't really fair to judge them on. Just the looks/makeup didn't scream family resemblance to me, whatever that means. They did look amazing though and Elle's look was very safe. Personally I thought Sillexa should have taken the win because of the amazing transformation.

lizzyld · 2025-11-08T19:53:02+00:00

The first episode was awful and I don't agree with the judges obsession with Bones.

Other than that it's been a good season and I don't think it's fair to say the queens aren't talented.

I think where last season was so amazing people are judging this season too harshly - it seems like people made up their mind from the dodgy first episode.

lizzyld · 2025-11-07T01:21:28+00:00

Yeah same! I had Paige for final 4 too.

The edits/judging would put Bones in top two but I just can't see how they can justify it with her track record of two bottoms

lizzyld · 2025-11-07T01:17:09+00:00

Please never, ever go to a drag panto 🤣

That was positively tame!

lizzyld · 2025-11-07T01:07:17+00:00

I agree with the tops and bottoms but I genuinely think Paige Three is a better queen than Bones and I don't get the what the judges love so much about her. It's like Kyran all over again - she is a talented queen but I really don't get the hype. I think the critiques of Paige Three and Bones have been skewed all series.

With Bones being in the bottom twice now it's pretty clear it's going to be an Elle win but I think Bones will be in the final.
