RPDR UKvTW - Episode 5

[Diddy]

I don't know what's next under the criteria you have set, but I DO know that the best Drag Race series of them all returns on March 27th

Well that’s the thing, I prioritised the English speaking ones only because it was easier to get access to them. I fully want to get into the rest.

Clearly I haven’t reached “too much drag race” yet since I’m also ru-watching the UK seasons, up to S8 now

 

[Dark Carnival]

it really has been a bizarre little season

If by bizarre you mean useless then yeah, definitely. I just sped through this episode, and honestly what’s the point of crowning (or offering that Ru duet ) any of the remaining girls.
Mo has been Mo all season, very consistent but never able to produce a wow moment. The way Juju has performed has been sad to watch. At this point, just hearing Bag’s voice irritates the shit out of me and I just can’t get excited by Blu’s drag, personality or anything she does.

 

[Phoenix]

I wondered, is there another English-language series on the cards?
UK has just finished, Canada too, the US is I guess about 6 episodes left and this All Stars fiasco finishes next week.

If you tell me Down Under is next I’m going to put my head in the oven.

Is it the dreaded winners season? A much less tantalising prospect than it was, since I’m sure it’s getting diluted with All Stars and international winners?

I think the All Winners is next. It filmed over a year ago.

Well hopefully they’ll have some decent outfits

 

[Phoenix]

Well it’ll be a US affair so the budget will be higher (compared to the BBC)

 

[Diddy]

It’s hardly a hot take but there being no prize money or decent prize of any description really does lower the stakes. What did anyone really have to gain, except maybe Janey and Pangina getting more exposure?

 

[COB]

I have seen people wonder whether Mo being based in LA (and so presumably easier for Ru to record the duet with logistically) might mean she's going to win

 

[VoR]

I read earlier that UK Season 4 is currently filming.

I'm not sure Ru is even in the room when his own vocals happen, so I don't see why Mo would need to be.

[lolly]

Perhaps more worryingly, my first thought was 'hang on, we've had a season three?'

Likes on the official ‘are you team…’ tweets after 3 hours…

3,034: Mo Heart
2,168: Blu Hydrangea
960: Jujubee
282: Baga Chipz

 

[Diddy]

Have they ever crowned anyone who didn’t win a challenge? I feel that’s the biggest block in front of Mo

 

[Christian]

I don't think precedent really matters with All Stars I've enjoyed the season, it's had some good moments. Is it the ideal Top 4? Not really, but I can't say I'm overly pressed about it.

Having the spectacular Season 14 running in tandem has proved to be a blessing though.

 

[lolly]

I guess it's a much shorter season in terms of opportunities to win a badge as well.

282: Baga Chipz

Votes positively LIMPING IN!

Trixie won with two Top 2's but no win. Mo (and also Baga) have only one Top 2, but like Lolly said, much shorter season.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Watch Rupaul crown Bag nonetheless

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Bag

 

[lolly]

I think the choice of lip sync tracks will be telling, if it's being geared up for a Baga win.

What’s a song geared towards Baga look like? Silence?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Can’t wait for the duet, You (MUCH) BE’’A!!! Work!

 

[Lucille]

I’ve actually warmed a little to Baga now I find Blu to be utterly DETESTABLE.

 

[Alias #23]

Hopefully it’ll be Madonna’s GAYLUV. Quality meets quality

 

[Lucille]

Personality? Non existent.
Looks? TRASH
Choices? TRASH

 

[Lucille]

BIN IT

 

[cwej]

Finally got round to this. Absolutely the right top 2. Thank Fuck they both finally brought something. Mo really stood out, but I agreed that juju's lip sync was better.

My priority ranking for a winner:

1. Mo
2. Juju
Equal last. Blu and Baga

I do think that Blu has brought more than she did last time, but she's still utterly delusional.

 

[GNL]

The winner's song with Ru is now live on streaming in Australia and New Zealand

 

[Lucille]

Canonically Jimbo is the winner as far as I’m concerned.

It's like all the purple ones in a box of Roses having already been scoffed with only the cruddy ones left to choose from

There is going to be momentary gay carnage if Baga gets that crown.
