They/Them
Might just be me being me, but I don't see any obvious early outs in this cast? Of course it's only been a week, when we see the design challenge it will likely separate a few from the pack.

Dd I appreciate this comment is probably in regards to it being the best opener the show has had in years, but let's not count our chickens, as the UK has a habit of going off the deep-end midway through when they inexplicably cut all the favourites out in quick succession.
I love Tayce as much as the next person, but having seen both her and Cara perform together (very often as a duo/trio) on a near-monthly basis between 2018-2020, I would say that Cara is genuinely very much as capable as a performer as Tayce. Both equally gifted at park and barks, but with up-tempos, Tayce leans more into Janet-style performing while Cara goes full-on Beyoncé.
It will very much depend on the songs at hand (Gina G in a gown was not it), but Cara is really up there with the best of the best I've seen over the years.
She/They
It’s because they cropped her out of the shots this episode
I think Alexis having some confidence issues doesn’t bode well, but at the same time, I don’t see any Just Mays amongst this cast (even though I loved her).
I agree I don’t really see any clear early outs. But this is definitely Cara Melle’s to lose.
Very enjoyable premiere. There are enough great personalities in this cast to make a good season, so I hope the producers don't fuck it up. My only complaint about the first episode was the winner. They were probably the most forgettable/safe one in this cast.
I've seen Vicki Vivacious hundreds of times and had her perform at multiple venues I've ran and I've never heard her have a Cornish accent until this...which I get, you need something to make you stand out, but it did make it funnier when she seemed to forget about the accent towards the end of the episode too.
I could see the filming team telling them to do tricks like this skskkss esp after Lawrence Chenney's hit with Ru.
Ginger is UK's Mrs Kasha Davis, Kate Butch is Jinkx and Vivacious reminded me of Bianca when she entered the room.
Also Banksie seems like @Holly Something's drag daughter.
HOW IS KRISTEN MCMENAMY 58?!
She looked like she was 35 on the show but look at her Instagram.
Kristen McMenamy was genuinely iconic. Sandra Bernhard in the body of Miss Fame.
Because she has red hair? We're nothing alike fff.
He/Him
Vicki Vivacious gives me Brexit Tory gay energy. Happy to be proven wrong though.
