:ohwow:
yes they slayed this .. prolly the best song they have done on the show period
Those UK girls are way more talented
I'm living omff
They slayed.
It took a while to get to this level, this was the best episode so far. The US queens are more talented and polished imo...but I also read in the UK drag is different (more focused on humor, doesn't have to be Hollywood Las Vegas glam). I really enjoyed that girl group episode, I loved how they worked together. It seems that behind the scenes they also like to help eachother way more than the US girls do. The Donald Trump Margaret Thatcher snatch game characters were brilliant.
I don't get the appeal

QuoteI think the show is very serious, which is missing the whole crux of British drag. I'm playing a dame in a pantomime at the moment and that's a huge source of inspiration for where British drag comes from - the whole joke there is that you never forget it's a dude in a dress. That's the heart of it all, you can see through the illusion, you're in on the joke with the queen and you're all having a wink and a laugh together.
American drag culture is sort of infecting British drag culture in this way, making it a bit more serious, or prioritising things like death-drops or sewing skills - we don't give a shit about that over here.
Dame Twiggy was very clever as a guest judge, but I feel like Graham Norton's opinions are stronger than his understanding of drag. He didn't really get Crystal's chest hair, like someone who's engaging with drag for the first time, but I think he's just echoing the frame of mind of a lot of people who are watching the show, so it does make sense for him to be there.

I love it when they talk in their British accents and use their own slang. They are getting more confident with their own language each episode. Rupaul doesn't understand half of what they are saying, it is hilarious. I cringed a couple of times when they used the typical American Drag race sayings like step your pussy up..they should just translate it to step your fanny up haha. I bet they are banned from using the word cunt.
UK drag is way more camp and funny.. and some of the queens just didn't survive because they didn't have that American esthetic. I don't know if Ru did his homework..but it is interest to see this clash.
Cherly Hole (who i can't stand btw) is the only queen that reminds me of the US gorls.
There was this show on the British tv and these 'legendary' UK comedians and performers had to do a show in Las Vegas. They had successful careers in the UK but in America they had to start worrying about being glamorous. They had to be transformed in Elvis Presley's and old Hollywood glam. They were way too down to earth for it. Their humor didn't work in the US..they underestimated everything. Two different worlds.
