Yeah I hope the snatch game is good. The Vivienne must do Kim Woodburn!
I've been trying to think of plausible people for them to play for Snatch Game that wouldn't really appear on the American one. And now I'm hoping someone can do a Claudia Winkleman.
We might see a few soap characters like Kat from Eastenders ('I became a total slag') or Dot Cotton or something. I can see the older queens opting for that.
This makes. Thank you for the context. I had a feeling the culture is different and needed a confirmation. This will help me process the season better.UK drag is extremely different to American drag. I know I've said this before, but the entire pageant / fishy drag doesn't really exist over here in the same way. There's a reason why all the look queens on the show are so young - because that style of drag has only really started to appear since Drag Race started airing.
Drag in the UK is generally either comedy or lip sync acts, and the lip syncs are focussed on humour / matching the vocals not the dance moves.
This is why I consider Baga the frontrunner right now over Viv, because she encapsulates that to a T.UK drag is extremely different to American drag.

don't worry, us Brits thought it was dire too.
Just an fyi, she identifies as bisexual, not straight. :)
I hope this is a spelling mistake and shes not a secret trump supporter

Wow just wow. So disappointed with this, she was my early favourite but not with those views. A conservative drag queen... how is this even possible.
I couldn't agree more about VS. There's something really unimaginative and tired about her. She needs to wear it like she owns it. I'm Team Sum Ting Wong (and Baga)Another thing that stands out to me is how some queens are somewhat butch/manly out of drag.
When I watch Vinegar, STW and Crystal on the confessionals, I am like "these dudes aren't as feminine and ladylike like most US queens"
Vinegar in particular, when talking to Scaredy on both episodes, looked like a guy from the production crew that works behind cameras but stepped in to ask Scaredy some questions out of curiosity, not like a fellow queen. Even on drag Vinegar looks like a clueless, straight, Saturday Night Live comedian that was asked to put on woman's clothes.
Cheryl and DDC's were clearly Bond Girl.This runway read to me like a last minute production change, that the girls had to somehow fit in with the outfits they brought. None of the looks looked like bond girls, so I think they just had to make due, some more successful than others.
Saw a picture of Crystal on Reddit that got me thirsty. Knew I was stanning the right queen.
It matches her overbite though.Cheryl Hole really needs to stop doing Alyssa's tongue pop thing.

That's clearly for the new UK viewers.I also don't think Ru needs to tell us every week what Shantay and Sashay means 😂
I hope Blu doesn't turn as confrontational like Willam, Pearl and the likes but yeah I think Blu's episodes are counted, Ru doesn't like it when contestants read her.
Racists can do drag, too, unfortunately.Wow just wow. So disappointed with this, she was my early favourite but not with those views. A conservative drag queen... how is this even possible.
The standard in general is very high though, the top 4 is 100% going to be The Vivienne, Crystal, Baga and Divina.
I'd make a terrible drag queen, I hated sewing lessons in school.
The bottom pair this week where such a fucking mess, genuinely one of the worst looks and performances I've seen from this show as a pair. I would have sent them both home as neither have a chance and saved one of the better queens later on in the season. Vinegar has an amazing personality though, just a shame she couldn't put that into her outfits.

I love how The Vivienne gave out some truth this episode, she's absolutely right there there's zero excuse for not being able to sew if you're going on the show.
There's always 1-2 a season.When was the last time they had a proper sewing challenge on the US show though? They seem to have dropped them and the queens just seem to arrive with a bunch of expensive pre-made outfits. If you were taking that as precedent I'd say you could be forgiven for thinking the UK show wouldn't be that big on actual sewing either.
