RPDR UK S3 E4

[lolly]

The search for the UK’s next Drag Race superstar goes poptastic this week as the queens take on the now-iconic girl group challenge.

Spice Girls legend Emma Bunton joins RuPaul as an extra spicy guest judge, and Steps step up to the challenge of coaching the queens as they split into two groups to record and perform their very own pop songs.

Michelle Visage and Alan Carr join Ru and Emma on the judging panel as they decide who should be the next queen to sashay away from the competition.

This challenge is more important than Snatch game for UKDR

Night of a 1000 Spice Girls

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

How cold is it in the workroom? Queens are wearing double jackets.

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

WHY would you choose Crystal over Choriza in a girl group challenge???????

Maybe I'll be proven wrong but still, really?

Scarlett's laugh is cute.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

How the beautiful Choriza in that red and black number wasn’t picked first is a mystery to me.

 

[Tisch]

Bless Claire, she's SO BORED

 

[Tisch]

Also: I get that there was a perfectly valid reason, but dying at Lisa literally giving US NOTHING

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

The double save was probably more to make up numbers because of Victoria Sponge, but it was a nice ending. I like both of them.

Entirely. Charity was an obvious winner but Scarlett has been pretty good and is a top notch talking head, they weren’t letting her go too easily.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

That was one of the worst lip syncs we’ve had for a while, I was fine with Ru sending them both home.

What a terrible second half too; most of them looked horrible on the runway (both during performance and runway) and no Posh Spice?! Fuck them all!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

With that being said, based on tonight:

01. Choriza May
02. Kitty
03. River Medway

04. the rest.

 

[VoR]

I don't think BDE will be following UK Hun and Break Up (Bye Bye) up the charts.

Scarlett getting saved was a total crock. I did feel for her, but she fucked up the challenge and her lip sync was dreadful. What on earth was that hanky thing all about?

Even though she was technically in the bottom, that really felt like Kitty's episode. What a delight.

 

[Kratz]

A lip sync that could have easily justified a double elimination. Kitty and Ella both had good weeks.

And why didn’t anybody do Victoria? It’s an easy look and all you have to do is strut to the end of the stage and go ‘…AND I’M VICTORIA, MALCOLM!’

 

[Berly]

Glad Charity was saved - and I think she won the lip sync… but that was not a classic.

 

[Sheena]

Charity is clearly DEAD WOOD at this stage, or it feels like it. Amazed anyone is bothered- what a ONE TRICK PONY.

 

[Sheena]

Scarlett deserved to be saved just for the “Nolan Fisters” line

 

[Phoenix]

They obviously have other girls they want out first (Vanity and River) so I did see the double save coming even with a boring lip sync.

Ella looks awful as a drag queen, he does not know how to do make up nor does Scarlett. They both look very flat.

 

[monsta]

I’m truly agog at the VB erasure on the runway. Truly.

But this is the franchise that forced 7329 kimonos on us as Madonna’s most iconic look SO WHAT DO I FUCKING KNOW.

 

[Phoenix]

Who would want to walk down the runway in a boring black dress. They obviously chose the icons.

Which is ALWAYS the tone that VB haters go for. YAWN!

Because it’s true….

I was thinking of kimono gate too. Catastrophe!

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I’ve tried, but this season just reminds me of being at a party that is dying, and you’ve already mentally ordered your Uber home, but some fucker forces you to have another drink…

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Has a MESSY GAY started uploading Choriza May-only super cuts of each episode yet? I feel they surely must soon be COMING

 

[Tetris-Rock]

I think Spiceworld VB in the camo print would have been a nice REFERENCE. Or Say You’ll Be There video.

 

[lolly]

I don't feel THAT strongly, but I'm definitely getting a sense of watching because I ought to, rather than really wanting to.

And I'm also slightly concerned that I'm not really getting behind ANY of them at this stage. I probably like Choriza most, but it's not because I think she's particularly great.

 

[dUb]

I wonder if they were banned/discouraged from doing vb x

 

[KindaCool]

That was the fakest and most unceremonious double-save ever. RuPaul had "Fuck this shit" written all over his face

 

[KindaCool]

I REALLY wanted to see Lisa, but her not being there was somehow the best part lol

 

[Marilyn]

Pick n Mix going down the line saying their background was very

 

[Music]

That was the fakest and most unceremonious double-save ever. RuPaul had "Fuck this shit" written all over his face

He literally looked disgusted at Scarlett when she had that tissue out (what was that about?!) during the lip sync. It was clearly so producer driven to do the double save.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I saw an interview with Veronica (and Tia) and she was saying how she was hoping there would be no elmination since there were x episodes left. Poor thing must be fuming at the outcome from this episode.

 

[lolly]

I can only assume a specific number of queens is needed for the challenge next week or some other production plan Victoria's injury threw out, because otherwise why on earth did that lip sync deserve it? For every other double shantay hasn't there usually been a reference to how good it was, or some kind of justification?

 

[Dark Carnival]

You'd think a bunch of gays would fight over who would get to be Posh, but nah

 

[Dark Carnival]

Who would want to walk down the runway in a boring black dress. They obviously chose the icons.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ru clearly just HATES Charity She was also the clear winner of that lipsync but I guess they didn't want to let go Scarlet so early.

 

[Loufoque]

Choriza May is my winner. She is just lovely. Her drag is unpolished, and I hate it, but I don't even care.

Kitty gave us something other than her roldoex of memes, but the fact that Emma is the SG she stans? No, baby, no.

Fuck Ru and Michelle and their forty years ago version of drag. Charity looked fabulous, and her girl group performance was great.

Loving that VB and her very, very dry sense of humour has been ret-conned out of Spice Girls history.

Ella Vaday is extremely annoying. How can a drag queen ooze toxic masculinity?
