Rupaul’s Drag Race UK all seasons

Now can we stop with all this "season" business.
Its "series" here in the UK.
Another of those awful Americanisms we seem to be adopting.

I agree that a lot of them are dog rough.
Veronica Green has the face of a young Dame Hilda Bracket.
Ginny Lemon is Elton John crossed with something out of League of Gentlemen. 
Bimini Bom whatever her name is is a dead ringer for Sharon Needles out of drag
Tia Kofi best name in the comp.
Totally bored with Laurence Chaney’s insecurity back story already.
Two Naomi Smalls wannabes is two too many.
Joe Black: never heard of her but I suspect she thought she was golden and all that messing in the lipsync was to cover up not learning the words. Glad she went! 
the one from Dundee might be one to watch, I admire those who make their own costumes. She was ripping off Trixie Mattel in her entrance look though. 

I've recently come to the same realisation!  For a long time, I'd push against 'season' if it was used to describe a UK show but have slowly come to realise the benefit in having a word which specifically covers one "season" of a long running series.  Especially when we're talking about Drag Race (itself a US format anyway) where there are so many different different incarnations of the series around the world now, it helps to be able to specify which "Season" of which "Series" we're talking about!!

I enjoyed the first episode of Series/Season 2 of the UK Series.  I found the current US series very hard to get into - not particularly likeable queens winning a not particularly exciting twist whilst the nicer queens are made to vote against each other for no reason other than to create reality-style drama put a dampener on the season opener for me, so the UK version in contrast felt like a breath of fresh air in its simplicity and the way it just let the queens shine.  It does feel overkill that they're running UK and USA at the same time though.  I'm already getting confused about which queen is in which series!

I’m not sure who is editing it but they actually got the name of the lip sync song wrong. And on the topic of the lip sync song, what a dull song to choose with very little room to really take it anywhere. For me it’s probably the worst song choice they’ve ever made.

Especially when you have Sheridan Smith - who’s known for playing Cilla both on screen and on stage - judging.

The lipsync was a terrible choice. I assumed the Surprise Surprise Cilla nod was leading to an “Anyone Who had a Heart” lipsync (but using Sheridan’s version). But an incorrectly labelled “Memories”? A shame. As another poster mentioned, the song doesn’t allow for a good lipsync as it doesn’t really go anywhere. Vocally and emotionally it’s a great song and a showstopper, but it’s very limiting and one note as a lipsync.

A real shame as it meant we lost another polished queen who I personally really enjoyed in the interview sections.

Ellie is pulling off some good looks but she's not really offering much personality is she? I honestly forget she's there sometimes. Unless it's the edit.

I quite like the story of Veronica being a queen nobody knows and then being a strong contender everyone starts to be threatened by. I wonder of that is going to be the main story of the season.

Given how she gave up before she ever got in the runway, the right Queen was eliminated.

Love how much cruder the UK version is!

For me, there was too much man and not enough woman. Stunning but not as feminine as they had been in the past. It just felt as if there had been zero effort.

I think this was one of the last episodes filmed before lockdown 1 so perhaps there was done anxiety in the room over that?

Ok so Ginny just walking off was ICONIC on its own but I’m so disappointed that they cut her supposedly telling Ru to f*ck off beforehand (according to rumours from the Daily Fail), that would have been tv gold.

I imagine that it got leaked someone just left and didn't lip sync, and they might have described it as "oh yeah she just told the show to F off and left" and the rumour spiralled to all of that (I assume Ginny doesn't seem malicious!)

UK Drag Race once again proving to be full of twists, turns, and a competition I am actually invested in! I do think Awhora was the clear winner, Laurence feels like she's being carried ala Eureka but I don't think she needs to be pushed, she has the talent and the chops but its clear production pegged her as a top 3, like Baga not being in the bottom for her scour brush dress.

Will be interesting next week, is it a whole non-competitive episode following the queens post lockdown? And who will have changed what with the 6 month break?!

Available from Thursday 7pm will be the next 'proper' episode - then available from Friday morning a special "RuPaul's Drag Race UK: Queens On Lockdown"

Described as: A never-before-seen look into the lockdown lives of the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, when they were sent home for a seven-month break in filming due to the pandemic. Through a combination of self-filmed video diaries and interview footage, the queens give us an all-access look at their quarantine home lives, their professional struggles, emotional highs and lows, and how they got ready to return to the competition.
