RuPaul's Drag Race UK (S2)

Spoiler:

Spoiler

They apparently make a thing about it - sirens etc, and Ru needing to head back home to ‘be safe with his family’. And then presumably a reprisal with all the usual safety procedures next episode.

Great first episode. Such a strong roster of queens - Lawrence came off brilliantly, and Tayce’s Welsh Dragon look was a knockout.

 

We stan a diverse queen.

 

Amazing! Thank you!

 

It’s all about Tayce.

 

I’m not sure I’ve screamed more in my life at anything than “Tia Kofi as ALAN TURING”

I-

 

Tayce's dragon deserved a critique damn it!

 

I just wish it was this cast we were getting a 4-episode premiere with as opposed to their dull American counterparts.

 

Those Maleficent hair horns pulling focus for the entire lipsync

 

NOT ALAN TURING ZBFJJDJDJBDJF BYEEEEE

 

Tayce is such a fucking icon already. Every moment on screen was TV gold. Crown her.

But what a strong batch of queens also? Lawrence was brilliant and Asstina was fantastic. Tia is an absolute ray of sunshine and I kinda wanna be her best friend.

I felt like it was a good episode for everyone though and even the bottom queens didn't do bad.

 

I was screaming Shirley Bassey for Tayce - she's Welsh!

These young queens

 

The half-hearted mimetyping was everything I needed.

 

@Holly Something, @munro, I know you've both been excited to see your girls on screen, I'm dying to hear what you thought.

 

My first thought was Rochelle Humes ddd.

 

I'm not sure how you'd do a drag version of Rochelle. As she doesn't really have a distinctive style or over the top / in your face personality.

Unless you did her with the dog and champagne when All Fired Up was iTunes number one for 7/11ths of a Second.

 

Or during the Chasing Lights era when they all wore black dresses with colour-coded leggings.

 

Asstina was serving Azealia Banks face in her entrance look - I wish I had her confidence

This show is just so refreshing compared to the US run at the moment and Ru seems to be having a lot more fun
I found Graham a bit annoying this time out so am looking forward to Alan and Sheridan Smith next week

 

Tia is a JOY. Her wig was a cultural frizzy moment. Don’t @ me.

Tayce is everything and I gasped at Asstina’s Naomi.

The confessional lighting highlighting A’Whora’s poorly matched foundation ddddd.

 

Screaming that the UK version didn’t pull a Sharon Needles edit and fully showed Cherry marching her ass back out and in again.

 

I'm glad they kept it, Cherry had a good attitude about it, and it was legitimately funny.
