7/23/2023 0 Comments Uk rupaul season 3Much as I love the fact that Tunbridge Wells canonically produced a winner of Drag Race, I don't personally consider Krystal to have a strong point of view as a winner. There are undoubtedly some great queens in there but there was a real lack of chemistry, not helped by how bad the cast were at seguing into prompted conversations - for example the stilted Snatch Game episode chat about acting straight at school. I just wish we'd had more challenges that felt like they'd been specifically made for the UK series rather than offcuts from the US show, stuff like the charity shop round of the pageant is what I'd like to see more of. This season we got Peloton, Draglexa and Star Wars, not to mention Ru pushing the girls towards US-centric characters where they generally flopped. ![]() While earlier UK seasons had quite stereotypically 'British' challenges, it was very clearly trying to ground itself in UK reference points and personally I loved that - it gives the queens an opportunity to thrive as they can play up existing cultural references or tropes. One or two of these decisions in a season are gags but cramming everything into the season with no consistency was just a bit much, it was like watching Pretty Little Liars season 7 where the twists and turns make you feel seasick rather than excited. Unnecessary lipsync for the win in E1 scuppered Victoria, then an unwarranted double save, then a double elim, then a double double win and no-elim. It showed a real lack of respect for the queens and more than anything else made midseason feel really sour episodes like Snatch Game which were overall quite enjoyable were suddenly rendered unpleasant to watch as a result of the double elim.īizarre pacing/decisions. It felt like there was no empathy for the conditions in which they'd had to operate and prepare in - Veronica had it worst but everyone's livelihood suffered. In the 2021 lockdown they would have faced real challenges getting anyone to make outfits, fittings couldn't happen for example. And maybe he was underwhelmed by what he was seeing after having to quarantine to get into the UK, but these girls had been living through multiple full-on lockdowns, significant hurdles to performing in-person, lost revenue for a year before filming took place. Ru was pretty vindictive at times: double elimination, no-win episode, stank face in multiple challenges. It was uncomfortable throughout for me, and everything seemed slightly wrong. ![]() If you'd like to organize an AMA, message us for verification!
