Drag Race UK - Season 3

Air date?

They all had a meltdown over on twitter because some guy said the biological woman shouldn't be there lol. Looks like it's going to be another Mik situation 🙄 Shame it's going the way of what happened to the US version and so soon. The first two seasons were great fun because they just didn't give a fuck, now they're going to be doing a lot of tiptoeing around....

All I know is I'm already rooting for Veronica Green. I think she had a good shot placing among the top three or even winning season two until she was hit with Covid. Just judging from the video, not thrilled by some of the looks which were presented. I know it's only meant as a taster but dressing up as a pig??

I wonder how many of the contestants' pasts will be brought up and how many will need to offer apologies for past behavior.

RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 3's Victoria Scone on making herstory RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 3's Victoria Scone on making herstory

Racers, start your engines. We're saying "hello, hello, hello" to a new cast of queens as season three of RuPaul's Drag Race UK hits the runway on Thursday.

The British version of RuPaul's smash hit show, which won the Emmy for outstanding reality competition programme on Sunday, launched in 2019.

The third UK series makes herstory with the international franchise's first cis woman drag queen, Victoria Scone.

BBC News sashayed on to the pink carpet to find out what else fans can look forward to.

For those who do torrents, the first episode of season three is up

I enjoyed the first episode. Agree with the bottom two. Don’t agree with who went home out of the two.

R 7 Ditto. Also agree with the bottom two but don't agree with who went home. I was hoping the little acrobat was a goner. There was nothing to write home about for either of her two looks.

Lots of cute boys this season. I've never heard Ru laugh as hard as he did at River.

I'm liking Victoria—she's funny and camp. Her second runway look was great.

[quote]I was hoping the little acrobat was a goner.

Her desperation sort of reminded me of Li'l Kenya Michaels vs. Latrice.

Totally agree with r7. I was surprised how much I like Victoria, as opposed to gottmilky. And they sent the wrong queen home. Much better in the lipsync. Ah well.

Just based on first impressions, same as last season, don't the UK queens seem more likeable than those on the US version?

R11 They definitely seem a lot less self conscious and ‘brand’ oriented than the US queens

The US queens seem to be constantly second guessing fan reaction and it makes everything feel so artificial and forced (in the more recent seasons especially). Maybe the same will happen in the UK version if it continues for a few more years but for now it’s great to see queens unencumbered by all that.

Probably a ridiculous questions, but anyone else thirsty for Ella Vaday?

R 13 Yes! Gulty of Ella Vaday thirst!

if you had just deleted the space between R and the number, R14.......

R13 you are certainly not the only one. Mind you, working from home for 18 months now has made me very thirsty did any eye candy.

Yes r13, you are the only one who is thirsty for a conventially attractive fit guy. It's a very unusual that people would find him hot.

Victoria Scone is a great choice for first female queen. One she is a dyke so part of the community rather than a straight woman, and two she doesn't have some slamming hot bod so she is forced to do full drag and think about proportions.

Scarlett (Harry) and River (Dexter) are really cute, and I'm not normally into twinks; plus I've had a little crush on boy Veronica (Kevin) since last season. Elektra (Julian) is cute too but has wonky British teeth.

River has become a hometown heroine.

A bunch of monsters.

Who was the queen who dressed up as the scary clown on the walkway? I get that it's her brand, but are we going to see such looks week after week. If so, I wonder if Ru or Michele will offer a critique such as "We get it - this is what you want to show the world. But we'd like to see you try at least one glamour look to show you have the ability to do more".

OP’s pic - every michfest refugee’s perception of trans

River is a cute boy, and probably an early out, but that statue runway was one of the stupidest and most hilarious things on RPDR ever.

I don't think Ru laughed that hard at Alaska's "Red for Filth" commercial, Alyssa Edwards as Joan Crawford in AS2's Snatch Game, Miss Vanjie sashaying in S10, or Jujubee as Eartha Kitt in AS5's Snatch Game of Love.

Getting Aquaria/Gigi/Gottmik 'created in a RPDR lab' vibe from Krystal Versace. Not surprised at all that she won the challenge, I'm expecting her to win the entire competition, actually.

Victoria is surprisingly very fun to watch, I'm very happy with how she fits in with the others. I'm also glad she's not a woo-woo-at-the-gay-club-chick type, with an entourage of 'her gays' surrounding her, however Pandora's box has now been opened for future bio queens who may not be as pleasant as her to be cast.

Was actually a little disappointed in Veronica's hometown look, it was kind of basic. Remember how the Season 2 girls were expected to use the Covid break to step their pussies up with their runway looks? Well, Veronica had nearly a year.

Ru seems unusually amused at people who point (and her fake laugh is really starting to grate). I was a bit shocked that no one made a 'look over there!' reference as River was doing her thing.

Is Charity Kase the first RPDR contestant with facial tattoos?

Agreed that the midget should have gone home.

River's pointing wouldn't have been that funny if they hadn't added the bell sound. Just sayin...

I love the name of the Spanish queen, Choriza May

R27 The sound effects weren’t there in real life and RuPaul still laughed so hard she split her colostomy bag so no. Just saying…

River is going to be a Tia Kofi type, loveable but hampered by “regional” level drag. I think Krystal was the rightful winner, but I think Victoria Scone’s transformation from dowdy lesbian at the food coop to high camp plus-size queen is actually more interesting and impressive to me than the Krystal Versace boy-to-drag shift.

It's kind of cute how, on this show, "regional" is used as a euphemism for "underwhelming" or "cheap".

I'm torn whether or not the right person went home this week. While their moves in last week's lip sync were impressive, doing them again this week were equally so but it was like "what else are you putting into the performance"? Don't agree with the winner as I think there were better looks on the runway especially combined with performances in the challenge. Felt sorry for Victoria - that read really seemed like it hurt her at the time.

Veronica's runway was compared to Kylie, but she was giving me more Kelly Marie circa 1981 (not a read, by the way).

[quote]I love the name of the Spanish queen, Choriza May

I love Choriza too, plus he's a cutie out of drag. He's like Pupi Poisson's little brother.

[QUOTE] Felt sorry for Victoria - that read really seemed like it hurt her at the time.

Of course there’s one lesbian on the show and suddenly it’s verboten to say someone’s fat. That kind of read - “she’s the [i]biggest[/i]… competition” - has been on drag race since the beginning and repeated countless times and people who complained about it (eg Alexis Michelle) were basically told that it’s just part of drag and you need to deal with it.

R35 100% agree with you on this. Victoria’s lecture moment of Krystal afterwards to me was very much a tone police “things have changed around here” moment too. Something peculiar about how it was filmed as if Krystal had crossed a line too.

Fat girls and knees clearly don't mix well on RuPaul's show.

I thought they might have done a double save, like they did in US S9 when Eureka had to withdraw, but I can see why they'd save that for next week and make a cliffhanger out of it.

Already there's been more than enough crying, but at least they're containing it to the workroom.... so far. Easy to skip.

The right one went home. That runway outfit was one of the worst ever seen on Drag Race. He might not have a lot of funds perhaps, but you could knock up simmering better than that for pennies. Also, whoever has been telling him he’s a “dancer” is doing him no favours. Flailing about like a demented toddler is not dancing.

^ something (thanks autocorrect)

I am not sure how I feel about this season. I am uncomfortable with how skinny at least one of the guys is. And they're all so young. I do like Ella (?) and Kitty (?).

That 'musical' number was bizarre and I don't think I liked it.

Should be interesting to see how Krystal does in a comedy challenge (if she gets that far)

Jesus Ella Vaday is hot out of drag, I hope she lasts. I think my fave is the bigger blond one with wavy hair.

I can't stand looking at Charity Kase. She looks like she smells like cat piss and belongs in a mental institution. Ick.

When the queens returned to the werk room after the judging, they started to remove their make up - except for Charity who removed a mask. A full face mask. WTF?!

Anyone else call bullshit in Charity Kase getting a poz load from one night she was taken advantage of?

One look at that trashy tattoo on her face and I knew a Craigslist gutter whore when I saw one.

As a person, I hated to see Veronica go, but as a drag queen, she was definitely in the bottom and her looks were the worst compared to the others. Anyone else find it odd that Ella isn't getting more positive feedback from the judges? In my opinion, she has had some of the best transformations and looks but has always been safe. Everything appears to be on point, but queens like Charity are being highly praised. And i think this was another runway challenge where Charity wore a full face mask instead of make up applied directly.

Ella is boring and a Rose-type where he’s trying to build a career as an actor and model using a drag Trojan horse. You can see they coming a mile away now.

R47 It’s funny that no one accused Elektra Shock of trying to do this on Drag Race Down Under, when she actually was a male model before she started drag.

[quote]He might not have a lot of funds perhaps, but you could knock up simmering better than that for pennies.

The second look would have looked a million times better if she'd just left the wings off.

Yay! Steps (minus Lisa) will be on the next episode!

Was anyone else expected a double-save / no elimination given Victoria's departure for health reasons?

I was, R51. Kind of shocked they went through with Veronica being eliminated so early, but she really was a let down on the runway and it ultimately bit her in the ass.

R45 - Charity also said she contracted 'lots of other STIs', all from that one night. SureJan.gif

Wow, I did not agree with that lip sync result. I think Charity did the best overall LSFYL but failed worse in the challenge and runway look. Once again, her need to be "quirky" overwhelmed the theme of the runway. On the other side, Scarlett's lip sync was average, especially compared to Charity's. And what was up with Scarlett pulling out a tissue and waving it around? Her runway look was also meh, but at least it seemed applicable to the runway challenge. If anything, both should have been sent packing.

Speaking of the challenge, I love when a queen think they're being strategic when selecting team members and it winds up blowing up in their faces. HAH! Finally, I've come to really love Choriza May, coming across very charming and funny this episode.

Yeah Scarlett would of gone surely if it wasn't a double save, which only happened because they need X amount of queens for the next challenge of snatch game. Im glad she stayed though she gives great talking heads and is cute. They hate Charity for some reason she wont last much longer. And that Spice Girls song when Say you'll be there was right there.

Why did they cast Charity if they seem to hate literally everything she does? I don’t get it. It’s getting a bit overbearing how they let others slide by, yet drag her constantly. think she’s amazing.

No one respects anyone who has tattoos on their cheeks, much less the trashy, contrived ones she has.

Her runway was off, it wasn't Spice Girls at all, barely inspired by.

"I'm a cheetah! A GOTH cheetah! ROWR!!"

If they were going to do a double save this season, I'm surprised they didn't do it in Week 2 when Victoria was about to be eliminated due to her injury, or last week just after her elimination became official. This week's lip sync really didn't warrant a double save.

Across the pond and up north, we have another fat bitch messing up her knee, and from the very first mini-challenge at that.

If there is a thread for Canada season 2, will someone please link it here. The search function is no one's friend.

These Season 3 queens are boring.

r60, re drC2, I left the room for a second when the queens were first entering the workroom and when I came back I said 'wow, they got Latrice Royal' to guest '.

here r60!

Charity will be gone soon, and that’s fine with me, but she does have a beautiful face under all those terrible tattoos and prosthetics.

I was a bit surprised at how genuinely upset the queens appeared to be with Veronica's elimination. There's usually some catty comments, but everyone seemed to be very gracious towards her.

Of course the first bio queen ever busts her knee in week one wobbling around on those heels.

Sweetie, leave men’s work to the men.

Hmmm, with the way this is progressing, I’d think the final 2 will be Crystal and Kitty. It’s hard for me to imagine any of the others advancing that far. River might have some potential.

Ella can advance to my bedroom.

Agree r61. But Season 2 of UK was always going to be a tough act to follow, these girls definitely aren't as entertaining.

I don’t think Ella is as cute as she thinks she is. This is normally way outside my usual taste but Scarlett is a very cute guy out of drag. But I’d be afraid to break the poor thing in half.

That dumpy Anabis who was out first was also very cute.

What a disappointing runway. I understand that the pandemic made it difficult for queens to put looks together, they hadn't been performing as much as girls during a regular year, etc., but still.. THAT was the best they could do?? Really?!?!?

Charity was meant to go on Dragula S3, I hope she gets on S4 of the show that embraces her drag.

I thought Charity's runway was gorgeous. I knew before she said anything that Michelle would ding her for "misunderstanding the assignment."

To me, the runway category was basically an invitation to do mediocre Halloween drag, which the vast majority of them did. Crystal’s Baby Spice but with Big Posh Spice Energy and Charity as Scary’s spirit animal were the only two looks that felt like they had anything to say.

Emma Bunton really comes across like a fun “just regular folk” lady and seems very tickled that she’s an icon to millennials.

OMG! Talk about really bad challenges - both team's "comedy" challenges were so unfunny. Some queens who should have been eliminated for the challenge were lucky enough to have good looks on the runway. Wasn't surprised by the bottom two and was glad the UK nightmare is over.

I know nothing can follow up the lightning in a bottle that was UK S2, but this season is a bust (ha-ha). Ru seems totally joyless and checked out. I guess, though, that's because Down Under, UK S3, and All Stars International were filmed so close together.

R75 any fans came for Ru when she complained about the challenge being lackluster, saying it had been done so many time before so what did she expect when criticizing she wanted to see something "new". Next week is Snatch Game and, as usual, I'm interested to see who the queens will choose to impersonate - and how funny/good they are.

Were the commercials good? No. But Ru and Michelle have pretended other skits were funny when they really weren't. Ru just being bored I do suspect is more of a commentary of how he is constantly having to film seasons back to back now, he is personally just bored and looking for something new.

Not that I even blame him, but it is interesting. In last years he would have politely laughed and still crowned a winner.

I’m starting to see the rumored behind the scenes problems leaking into the show. The judges look tired and pissed. The show and cast is still miles better than the current US seasons. Ru was smart to keep Scarlett just as she was smart to keep Pearl. Cute guy and can bring the teen idol audience.

It’s actually a huge relief that Victoria was disqualified early. The whole season would’ve revolved around her and her story. I’m glad to go back to watching a drag competition and not a Make A Wish pageant for dumpy white women who can’t even walk on heels.

The best queen in this one is Kitty, who would be out within the first 3 weeks on the US version.

So apparently Chorizo May has sizemeat

Hinky judging this week, although Snatch Game was pretty good.

I'm starting to think DRUK would benefit from dropping Ru and Michelle and having British hosts/judges à la Canada and España.

I have no problem with this week's winner. Ella killed it in Snatch Game as well as bringing a good look to the runway, especially compared to some of the other queens. Also have no problems with the bottom two, although it was a bit strange to have a double elimination although the lip sync was bad but, as with some other LSFYLs, I think it had more to do with the song than anything else. At the end, we have a top five and it should be interesting to see who goes next. Vanity and Scarlett seem to be just hanging on with nothing too fabulous or remarkable to make an impact, while Krystal, Kitty and Ella have shown talent and looks.

I think River acquitted herself as well as anyone could to Lulu’s “Shout” - a corny and ultimately quite boring and repetitive uptempo that seems like it was recorded for junior varsity majorette teams. Choriza is very loveable even if her drag is a bit panto dame by way of Valencia, but she is noticeably inhibited when she actually has to perform.

I know that season two was probably lightening in a bottle but the difference between last season’s top 5 and this season’s is embarrassingly clear. Chippy Scarlett isn’t half as much fun as Lawrence’s self-indulgent actressy tantrums and Tia Kofi herself wouldn’t have touched that lime runway dress with a barge pole. Krystal (clearly destined for the win) can’t hold a candle to A’hora when it comes to fashion slut aesthetic or Ellie’s baby queen prodigiousness. Ella had a deserved win last night but for the trade of the season, she seems like she could be Tayce’s accountant. Kitty seems like a second understudy for Baga and Cheryl Hole on a third national tour. Vanity is a complete “who?” None of them are even in the same galaxy as Bimini.

A big let down.

I love how Michelle read Choriza for being "predictable" in Snatch Game yet Scarlett was safe doing the scream from [italic]Home Alone[/italic] over and over again.

Choriza's new single, featuring the España gurls

Willam claims on the latest [italic]Race Chaser[/italic] that Charity and Ru had an unaired blowup . . .

After being told by Ru to step it up and bring something different during critiques, Charity was allegedly caught muttering as she left the stage, "I don't need this. If it was good enough for [italic]Vogue[/italic] ..."

After the queens came back following deliberations, Ru allegedly confronted Charity: "So you think you're too good for my show? You don't need this? Say it to my face, bitch."

[quote]A big let down.

Victoria and Veronica leaving early pretty much tanked the remainder of the season. I like the queens who are left as individuals, but they're not strong enough or cohesive enough as a group to make for good TV.

I think the younger hotter queens get away with more than the others. For example the pop justice forum are up in arms because River received negative critiques for doing the exact same thing as Kitty, which was just recite quotes by the characters. But the difference being that kitty did it with gusto, she was actually really funny and I thought she’d win tbh. Where as river literally read the quotes out in the same accent she always does, dull.

Yeah, Kitty worked a schtick with the bronzer, and she did a (marginally) better job of making the quotes work in context of the questions. River did basically the same thing as Alyssa Edwards in All Stars 2, but without the panache.

I had no idea, by the way, that Nigella Lawson actually said "mee-kro-wah-vay."

R87, Victoria leaving meant absolutely nothing aside from a bunch of forced over the top praise from the judges and unearned airtime being taken over by someone who only had mediocre talent to begin with.

At least the show can be about drag queens now, not some validation of her existence to pander to the show’s female fanbase.

R90 Agreed. The only notable thing Victoria Scone did was complain about being called fat.

I think the biggest problem this season is Ru (and I liked her on seasons 1 & 2 of uk drag race). She’s not really gelled with the show much this season. Maybe cos it was filmed under strict lockdown in a different studio (maybe with a different crew?).

Tell me more about the rumoured behind the scenes dramas

Among the remaining five, who do DLers see making the top three and eventual winner? Place your bets.

I think it’ll be Kitty, Ela and Krystal. And I guess K will win.

I'm enjoying Drag Race Canada more.

Kristal does nothing for me. I'd much rather see Kitty get it, but I won't hold my breathe.

Hopefully its Kitty or Ella. I think they will give the win the Krystal though cause a fashion twink hasnt won yet on the UK series.

One week with no winner then the next with a double elimination for a bad LSFYL. This is not a good season.

Ella as Nigella looked exactly like Laura Benanti. Interestingly, a couple of weeks earlier, he looked just like Patti LuPone.

R86, I'd take that tea with a pinch of salt. Willam is a fucking liar and it's well known he'll say anything to make RuPaul look bad.

Best episode of DR (any franchise) in years. It was really fun just to focus on the queens racing around as they got ready for the different runways. It was a great change from the usual shit the producers try to pass off as dance/song/acting challenges.

The LSFYL was engaging and the song choice could not have played into Milan’s wheelhouse any better if she’d chosen it herself.

Added bonus: Michelle Visage looked the best she’s looked in years. Whoever did her makeup and hair excelled themselves.

Dunno, R101. It reminded me of those cooking shows (Masterchef) where the contestants are set difficult cooking challenges to make with impossibly short preparation times. It just makes the contestants more likely to fail. What was the point of this three-look obstacle course?

The only thing I liked about the episode was when they were each asked to nominate the one look amongst their fellow competitors that they most admired. That added a much-needed touch of positivity in this sour tasting, hastily-produced U.K. Series 3. Ru and the producers really fucked up when they put this series together on such a tight budget and short shooting schedule (initial production took 11 days to shoot in total it is claimed). It also didn't help that they sent home some of the most interesting and nicest queens early. They really should try cutting down on the manipulated drama. Of course, Victoria Scone dropping out through injury left a huge void as well.

All in all, this third series has been a huge disappointment. Thank goodness for Drag Race Canada's second season.

The season only improved when Victoria left. Yeah, this is the weakest of the UK seasons but still miles above current US. I’ve been watching UK back to back with Canada and quality drop in every conceivable way is so noticeable. UK still has a few more good years they can squeak out of it.

Wasn't surprised by this week's results. I think Scarlett was coasting for the past few weeks while the others were presenting more memorable challenges and looks. And Vanity killed that Lip Sync. As to the top four, I think any one of them are deserving to be the winner although Vanity seemed to have stepped up in the past few weeks rather than being strong throughout the run of the series.

I don't get why Scarlet thought she was the comedy queen of the season. Delusional.

Alesha Dixon was a fantastic judge and when they put on Scandalous by Mis-teen and she started rapping her parts of the song I was living. It was an hour and a bit of good tv.

[quote]I don't get why Scarlet thought she was the comedy queen of the season. Delusional.[/quote]

The UK branch of the Utica Queen School of Comedy?

R65 t’isn’t sporting to kick someone when they’re down or heading for the door. It’s not done.

God I hate acting challenges. Why all of the fart humor in recent drag race episodes?

That was such a confusing runway - and didn't Ru do a lip sync for the winner earlier in the series? Regardless, I thought Ella was going to be the winner, given the judges' comments, so it seemed strange when there were two saves with the two better performers of the week left on stage. Then to have them lip sync. Sorry to repeat myself but it just seemed so strange. Highlight of the episode - Russell Tovey!

I'm not sure if it was the editing or not (most likely was), but Russell seemed to be eye fucking Ella.

[quote]That was such a confusing runway - and didn't Ru do a lip sync for the winner earlier in the series?

Please welcome to the stage: POINTLESS EXERCISE

Ella didn't know the words, she was obviously so confident that she was in the top she didn't remind herself of the lyrics like the other girls, I thought Kitty won that lip-sync. Kitty for the crown

Ru loves Kitty because she knows her boomer camp icons.

I agree r112 and r113. There is no point in having them lip sync and then giving them both a badge anyway. Since we did that it should have been a solo Kitty win.

Tovey did better than I thought he would as a guest judge, he really tried to have fun with it. Made me want to go rewatch some Looking sex scenes.

I was pleasantly surprised that he was willing to be associated with something un-masc.

PR ploy, R116. Being anti-femme in genderqueer 2021 is a death sentence.

Kitty Scott Claws is too similar to Lawrence Chaney for her to win. Ru likes to give out diversity crowns these days. Krystal will win as the UK’s version of Aquaria.

R113 I thought there were a few moments where it appeared Kitty had forgotten the words as well, so I suppose the LSFYL could have been a draw, especially since it didn't have any effect in the end with all four queens remaining on the runway. Definitely looked like Russell was into Ella, but as mentioned, it could have been the editing. We all know ALLLL versions of Drag Race love their editing.

[Quote]Krystal will win as the UK’s version of Aquaria.

Aquaria was more interesting than Krystal r118 (she won Snatch Game her season). Krystal isn't a developed queen yet, she is just a look. She needs to grow more and come into her own personality, you can tell she is a young with not a lot of real world experience IMO.

I’ve never been seriously attracted to a drag queen, but I’d have Ella as boyfriend. So cute out of drag!

In drag, he looks like Cheri Oteri and I can’t unsee it. I would be fine with him winning, but it will be Kitty or Krystal. Likely Krystal.

I can’t believe we have one more episode before the final. Put poor Vanity out of her misery.

I agree that Ella is insanely hot out of drag. So is Russell Tovey.

R122, she might win. The show lost all credibility when they crowned reigning dud Sonique. They’re just being Pander Bears right now. You don’t have to be good to win, just a zeitgeist-y minority.

I can’t get over how ridiculous Krystal’s sister looks with those massive bolt-ons. Do straight guys really find that attractive?

Short answer is yes, R125.

So do you think they'll be giving the crown to Ella next week?

Looks like the crown is either Ella or Kitty's to win unless Vanity pulls out some miracle for the finale. Or Ru decides to be socially aware. As for this week though. Ella and Kitty both killed the roast with a slight edge going to Ella who seemed more at ease, more fluid in her delivery and just a bit more funny. Vanity and Krystal were simply not funny - a few chuckles here and there but not consistently funny like the other two. Wasn't really thrilled with the Goddess runway looks, although I give credit to Ella for NOT going with a gold ensemble and wearing blue which stood out against the other three.

I agree R127, Vanity certainly will need to pull out a miracle next week to win considering she was eliminated this week.

Haha Vanity shows up uninvited to the final. I hope it goes to kitty but Ella would also be fine, I can see both of them doing well career wise in the UK. I can’t imagine what Crystal will do after this if she wins.

I, of course, meant Krystal in the final three and a possible chance of winning. For all of Krystal's looks which were stunning, mixing up her name with Vanity's just goes to my impression that she doesn't really have much of a presence other than "youngest drag queen (with multiple plastic work)". Difficult to remember or name one challenge where Krystal was memorable. Can't even recall who she impersonated in Snatch Game. But I can see Ru awarding her the crown as a way of trying to win over the younger and up-and-coming generation of drag queens.

Vanity’s Scandalous lip sync is the most memorable thing this season.

She was stunning. Also memorable was Ru’s admiration for Choriza’s ‘meatiest tuck we’ve ever seen across all the shows’ then C’s delightful Spanish accented reply that she would be sure to keep it tidily tucked away ‘up her bum bum’ if necessary!

Ella and her bf both look hot, kitty is too loud, reminds me of Lawrence Chaney toned down a bit

Yeah, Kitty will probably win the crown but she is a charity shop Chaney.

I'm shocked Krystal won. I thought it was clearly between Kitty and Ella.

This and Sonique winning the last All Stars is one of the few times when the winner was actually unexpected.

[quote]Getting Aquaria/Gigi/Gottmik 'created in a RPDR lab' vibe from Krystal Versace. Not surprised at all that she won the challenge, I'm expecting her to win the entire competition, actually.

I love being right, although I do admit to being somewhat shocked.

Just checked the thread for the winner and now don’t have to watch the episode. Thank you.

I was rooting for Ella, but I knew Krystal would probably win. I’m good with that. It was a great Top 3. All of them were deserving.

As always with Drag Race UK, reminder that there is no cash prize so it doesn't really matter that much who wins honestly. The stakes feel more real when someone is getting a big check.

Kitty definitely won that last lipsync, and Ella won the challenge. Either one would have been a deserving winner. Ah well...

The final was deadly dull.

Saw it coming really. Winners are now a diversity pick based off previous winners. Can’t have 2 the same in a franchise since the fiasco of all white, plastic,skinny winners of the All Stars franchise which saw a tie in Season 4 allowing Monet Xchange a title to broaden the scope of winners. (Chad, Alaska, Trixie and Trinity)

Ella's final runway and lip sync were sloppy, but she wasn't 100% because she had hurt her back the night before. I wanted Kitty to win, but I knew Krystal had it in the bag.

Interesting, R143. I had wondered about Ella's lacklustre performance.

I love Dusty Springfield but that was a terrible choice of song to use for a lip-sync showpiece.

I wanted Ella to win, but I knew after the interview that she wouldn’t win. Ru and Michelle clearly liked the other 2 more.

R145

Especially Krystal

I found it amusing that Ru brought up "queens who were accused of being failed actors who turned to drag as an outlet", and pointedly asked Ella if that was her story.

^ I thought she was shading Rosé, but good point re: Willam

It's sad that there is no Brit crew this season, DRUK2 had sexy guys

Drag Race UK winner: 'I'm going to take on the world'

The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK series three on her victory - and what she'd like to do after appearing on the BBC Three show.

I was fine with Krystal or Kitty. Ella was a total bore and I knew she lost when Ru and the judges were heavy on the verbal tip during critiques.

Kitty Scott was robbed. Krystal? Fucking KRYSTAL? Wow...I mean it just proved they don't pick winners based on talent or skill, they just needed a Violet Chachki type. If there is a season 4 I will guarantee a black queen will win. Or if they do a UK All Stars.

I for sure thought Krystal would be third. Did not see that win coming at all.

I think the show doesn't see individual queens they see types. Vivian was the bitch, Lawrence the comedy big girl, Krystal the young queen with potential. I honestly think they went, "we have Lawrence, we can't have Kitty." In the end it does not matter - all their booking fees will increase but they should thank god for KItty or that season would have truly sucked.

"I have two badges and a sash." "I and I have three badges..." "And no sash.."

I really think Krystal was chosen as winner simply to boost RuPaul and the Drag Race brand, trying to market to a younger drag audience. Let's face, many of the queens featured are "old" to begin with and those from the early years of RPDR are aging. Need to keep drawing in new blood to keep the franchise going.

I preferred the Brit Crew in Season 1, R149. Especially the really tall one and the bald hairy one. I still think about the hairy one twerking in Cheryl Hole's product advertisement.

There is no Pit Crew for Canada's Drag Race Season 2, either. I really hope this isn't a newly retired feature of the program, in order to make it more sanitized to the masses. The Pit Crew on Down Under was one of the very few watchable parts of that particular iteration.

Drag Race Italia has a yummy Pit Crew.

Smelly Sean from the first few seasons of Drag Race is the pit crew god.

I mean Kitty Scott Claws is 29. If you check the social media votes though Krystal was above Ella and Kitty - maybe because she was more of a instagram queen.

Even though he apparently started some scammy magazine, Miles with his big bulge was my favorite. I mean when you have guys in underwear having a hung pit crew was nice.

r100 yeah but IRL it was weird shaped and thin.

R156 I'm sure it's because there's a worldwide pandemic and not because they're trying to sanitize the show.

Kitty was great but Krystal was more consistent throughout. Kitty will also be a better alternative for All Stars in the future. I’m sure that weighs heavily on their decision making.

They can get rid of the Pit Crew for all I care. I’ll never understand why drag queens need to be connected to generically hot go go dancers. It’s even in all their music videos. I’m as big a dickpig as anyone else but I don’t watch Drag Race for the eye candy and I can go one hour without having to see someone’s cum gutters.

r163 well if you are going on consistency Ella should have won with 4 wins under her belt. Both Kitty and Ella were in the final three, KV had to lipsync and let's be honest. Vanity won that lip sync.

I was rooting for Ella but, of the three, she seemed the least experienced and engaged lip sync performer. Her runway look was also a fail, looking like an amateur in drag rather than a drag artist. Disappointing.

Yes, I really came to like Ella, but her finale look and lip sync were really bad.

Can we just admit that the drag name “Krystal Versace” is unoriginal and boring. How many queens named Crystal/Krystal have been on Drag Race? Too many! Kitty and Ella had true drag names. Come on girls, put some thought into your drag name.

There was Crystal (Beth) from UK S1 and Crystal Methyd from US S12, along with Ariel Versace from US S11.

When will the Versace family sue for copyright violation?

Versace is vulgar.
