Divina is my winner I absolutely adore her

I wanted Viv to win at the start, but the attitude is really 'too cool for school' for me at the moment. So I hope there's a dish of humble pie incoming.

Definitely think Crystal is the dark horse, find her dead pan humour and looks to be great. And someone who has surprised me is definitely Baga - growing to really like her now. I don't really understand where all the Vinegar hype has come from, she's not really slaying anything.

All in all I'm really enjoying the season so far. And agree with points above - the whole 'I've never performed' or gone to gay nights etc. is getting real old.

Hrududu · 02-11-2019 11:30pm

I'm absolutely loving this season. Way more than any of the more recent US ones. I just think they've gotten such a bunch of quick witted queens. The most recent episode with the girl groups had me laughing from start to finish.

RuPaul's Drag Race UK renewed for season 2

kg703 · 07-11-2019 1:13pm

Good. It’s great so far!

Rick_ · 02-12-2019 10:02pm

Drag Race Season 13 casting call announced. We haven't even seen the cast for Season 12 yet, and we have All Stars 5 and Drag Race UK Season 2 coming as well. There's gonna be a lot of Drag Race over the next year!

Hrududu · 16-03-2020 9:52am

Are we watching? What are we thinking?

So far I'm all about Jan, but its early days yet.

what the hell! · 16-03-2020 11:17am

Liking it so far. Which I'm glad about because I couldn't get into the last season. I like Jan too- Sherry Pie also seems like a front runner at the moment so I don't know how they're going to get rid of her as the season progresses!

Rick_ · 17-03-2020 3:53pm

I'm assuming everyone has heard about Sherry Pie and the controversy? It has been revealed online how far she makes it in the competition if you look for it. I only imagine the editors are frantically re-editing episodes to cut down on the number of confessionals and camera time she unnecessarily gets so they don't look like they are pushing her too much, which was probably their intention prior to all of this mess coming out about her.

kg703 · 18-03-2020 10:19am

You can see thats happening.

In the last episode there wasn't that much of her despite her being the challenge winner, they clearly edited some of her scenes and then didnt give out the same amount of praise you'd expect to hear for the winner

Rick_ · 19-03-2020 8:55am

Yes, I have read online that, depending on what TV channel or streaming service you watched the episode on, some had different edits where her confessionals and general camera time were vastly reduced whilst some just showed the original unedited episode.

Thar_Cian · 19-03-2020 11:29am

It seems it's more of a case that one version is more edited than the other, rather than it airing as originally intended. The less edited version is on Netflix, but she's still not featured very much given how important she was to the episode.

baby and crumble · 19-03-2020 11:54am

I've noticed too in the WOW produced shows like Photo Fashion RuView and Pit Stop they're just flat out not remotely talking about her.

Hunchback · 28-03-2020 9:56pm

I don't know if she will blame the 'edit' or whatever, but Brita comes across very poorly at this stage in Untucked. And they need to lay off Aiden

Where can i find untucked? It was on Netflix as well last season but not now.

Rick_ · 29-03-2020 4:35pm

Netflix are bizarrely not adding Untucked for S12 until after the entire season is finished...

Anyway, it's easily available online if you just search for it on the usual sites, like Reddit etc.

Hrududu · 02-04-2020 12:05pm

I understand their decision to cut a lot of Sherry Pie in the edit, but it makes for a weird viewing experience. Most episodes I forget she's there, then at the end its all "The winner is Sherry Pie"

Since I last posted this, Bob and Monet discussed some very questionable tweets from Aiden's twitter back in 2009 and 2010. The sort of tweets that will see Aiden be cancelled. Transphobic and using the 'n' word a lot. Some will make the argument that it was a long time ago and that he was young, but I'd say he's toast as far as a career in drag goes.

And Brita tweeted some of the racist messages and death threats that she has received. It really shocks me that that people would send such hate filled messages to people they don't know. We need some cosmic justice dished out somehow. People who send death threats from behind a keyboard need to receive instant justice somehow. gaahhhhhhh!!!!

J_E · 11-04-2020 12:34pm

I definitely think that win was deliberately controversial to stir up more drama...

Also, look, I was rooting for Heidi in that lipsync, but Brita did it better. The show's engineering is too obvious.

Rick_ · 11-04-2020 2:23pm

Justice For Jan! She was robbed and you could SEE it in her mannerisms and face when Ru said she was safe.

Gigi is clearly productions favourite and being pushed as a contender for [redacted] in the top 2, now with [redacted] being disqualified, it'll be Gigi, the young skinny, white fashion queen that they want to win.

Rick_ · 12-04-2020 12:40pm

RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race starts on 24th April in the US.

J_E · 12-04-2020 12:52pm

Okay, this was needed in this current time

Hrududu · 14-04-2020 10:30pm

Sherry Pie is 27? And younger than Aiden. What sort of twilight zone are we living in?

Oh also #justiceforjan though she is running with the memes online right now and having fun with it

Ooooph, 27!? 35 < would be more believable

Tbf it was also unfair how Ru addressed her first after the judges deliberations, because generally the first addressed is always the winner.

kg703 · 17-04-2020 9:36am

She was so excited in Untucked aswell

Ah well, its all for tv anyway.

I only really realised the other day no finale has been filmed..... how are we going to get a conclusion :O

Not always, there have been plenty of times where she tells at least one person that they are safe before announcing the winner of the challenge.

The finale is always shot months later. They film different endings for the finale, one where each queen is announced as the winner and they get to strut with the crown and scepter. The actual winner is announced when the episode airs, and we all get to see which ending/queen they use :pac:
Its a good way of maintaining hype but by god must it be underwhelming for the winner

It was very underwhelming last year. The 4 finalists filmed watching the finale on a couch.

Oooft, no spoilers but while this Celebrity RPDR started brilliantly, my toes are curling with the cronge now lol. Hopefully the episode is redeemed in the third act

Rick_ · 26-04-2020 2:03pm

Also had no idea who the 'celebrities' were, but apart form one of them being very OTT and thinking that because they were a big fan of the show that the whole thing was about them, it was enjoyable, if a little cringy at times for other reasons.

I was glad when Nico didn't win, the look on their face was priceless, definitely someone with an inflated ego getting knocked down a peg or two. I also hated their speech about the 'straight guys' taking part and validating them [Nico]. Like what a complete tosser!

Hrududu · 08-05-2020 11:52am

Haven't seen any of celeb Drag Race as I don't recognise any of them, plus one offs aren't that interesting to me.

Having lost Jan before she ever really took off I have now jumped ship to Jaida. Normally I don't care for the pageant queens too much but she has made me laugh a lot. I think we will probably end up with a final four that includes her, Sherry Pie and Gigi. It doesn't really matter who the 4th is because those three have dominated. And we know SP won't be winning. Gigi started off strong, and I loved her snatch game but she's been a little quiet lately.

It will be interesting to see how they do the finale due to everything that's going on. Having a big production with lip syncs doesn't look likely at this stage.

All stars 5

Irish Aris · 09-05-2020 10:08pm

I watched celeb Drag Race. In the latest episode I knew one of the three (Alex from Glee) and I have heard of the show Schitt's Creek that Dustin stars. Never heard of the stand-up comedian. I thought it was a good episode and a roast is always hilarious!!

On the main show, I find myself warming up to Crystal Methyd. I really like her kooky drag and would be someone that I would go and see in a show.

Schitts Creek is really excellent, with a nice LGBT storyline. Definitely worth the watch if you can.

kg703 · 13-05-2020 4:47pm

Latest trailer says there are only two episodes left - not three so reunion and finale look to be rolled into one.

Be such an anti climax to crown the winner over a zoom call! Especially as its been a great season, I would have loved to see those final lipsyncs!

Rick_ · 14-05-2020 8:02am

But there's only 5 girls left. So if there's 2 more episodes (Netflix are still listing 3 episodes left) then that leaves a Top 3 which they haven't done in 4 seasons.

I'll spoiler the next bit, as it's a major S12 spoiler

Sherry reaches the finale so it's gonna be interesting how they are going to edit around that. If it is a Top 3, then will it automatically be a Top 2 and leave it as that? Or will they replace Sherry with the queen that went before her? WoW are doing everything they can to remove SP from the episodes when they can so they don't want to feature her at all so I can see them replacing or removing her and not mentioning it at all and hoping we just carry on like nothing happened. I'll also be surprised if they don't give us some form of reunion this season but considering the circumstances, on the show and in the world, I wouldn't be surprised if it is left out this year.

I reckon the 2 episodes could be similar to previous seasons: next episode one girl gets eliminated and the top-4 remains and then, if I recall correctly the top-4 will have one final episode and all 4 of them go to the final

if Sherry gets to top-4, then I agree that either the last eliminated girl comes back to fill in top-4 or a top-3 and only one final lip-sync between the 3 of them - similar to season 10 final lip sync

Based on the note that comes up in every episode, am I right to say that the final hasn't been filmed yet?

kg703 · 14-05-2020 4:08pm

I dont know? They haven't been very forthcoming with details.

They could possibly film it live with no audience. If the UFC can go ahead, the Olympics of drag can surely take place

Socially distant lipsyncs, Ru watching regally from a balcony.... could totally work!

Rick_ · 15-05-2020 9:38am

The finale is usually filmed a week or two before broadcast so no, it hasn't been filmed yet, nor has the reunion, which might not get filmed. We have no idea what they are planning or are able to even do at this point.

Rick_ · 15-05-2020 6:52pm

It’s now been confirmed that the reunion has already been filmed and the finale has also been filmed both virtually rather than in the theatre hall.

We don’t yet know how things are going to happen regards SP. Will one queen go tonight leaving a Top 4 for the finale and if SP is one of them it becomes a Top 3? Or will whoever gets eliminated tonight (if not SP) get to be brought back to replace SP and keep it as a Top 4?

Thank you PFMC84. I just read it and was coming to post it!!
Really excited now, I wish Crystal Methyd could make it to top-4 although I would also be happy for her to win Miss Congeniality.

what the hell! · 16-05-2020 12:00pm

This weeks episode was so good! I really think this could be the season that finally tops season 6.

Irish Aris · 16-05-2020 2:11pm

Very Happy with the top-4 - or should I say top-3?? It will be interesting to see what format the final will have. I like Jackie but having been in the bottom a couple of times she had the disadvantage. I think it will be between Gigi and Jaida as they were consistently good all season and have the most wins.I think the editing team deserve another set of awards for how they were able to reduce Sherry's time and keep the show flowing nicely

On the celebrity front, I found the episode less interesting than the previous ones. I only knew Hayley Kiyoko - I reckon these people are well known in Us but not necessarily out of it. And it is always great to see Miss Vanjie even as a mentor - I really like her!!

Rick_ · 18-05-2020 9:30am

The Celebrity series has been a complete flop.

Also, given by how much camera time

Jackie Cox

was given in the lip-sync, I'm surprised she didn't win it.

Either way, it's a great final 5 girls (not including SP obviously) and this has definitely been one of the better seasons in recent years.

I'm

Team Jaida

for the win.

Hrududu · 18-05-2020 9:59am

I feel like we're missing an episode. Normally it feels like once we get to the final four there is an episode where its just the four of them, they get a tic tack lunch with Ru and Michelle, and they do that excruciating thing on the runway where they talk to childhood pictures of themselves. Or maybe I'm just mixing up episodes and that's normally in the final five episode.
