Pretty hilarious if true that DDC broke the never kiss a Tory rule. Anyway, the season four queens look fun!

I am absolutely losing it at everyone nodding and smiling, then the still photo of Selma Blair hovers there like she's in a "RIP 2022" montage at the Oscars.

I don't watch the show. Is Shangela the first drag queen to compete?

Also, interesting about Selma Blair. She has been open her mobility issues due to multiple sclerosis. I'm sure that will be interesting to watch. Fun fact about her, she grew up very rich, and went to Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, MI, the same elite private school that Mitt Romney went to when his dad was governor of Michigan. Us normies in the region would go on field trips to Cranbrook once a year as they had a museum and science lab.

Courtney Act was on Strictly Come Dancing, but Shangela's the first drag queen to compete in the American version.

So I just watched the Canada finale

I was a little surprised by Gisele win, I wasn't super enthusiastic about any of the final 4, but I thought that they said that only two would be lip syncing for the crown, I figured that they were gearing up for a Fierce vs Kimmy final 2, or another last minute twist that would still keep all 4 in the competition. I liked Gisele though, so I'm happy for her. A little odd that they didn't really explain their reasoning for who they decided to make it as the final two.

Overall, season 3 was better than season 2, maybe not quite as good as season 1, but even though I feel some affinity towards Canada having grown up on the border, it's not as good as UK.

If I were to pick another international edition next, what should I go with? I'm all caught up on UK. I saw season 1 of Holland and Down Under. And other than a couple episodes of season 1 of Thailand and Espana, that's about it.

Philippines is excellent so far.

Both seasons of Espana and Thailand are phenomenal.

I’m pretty cool on the other versions. France was okay, season 2 of Down Under is okay.

Italia was bad.

Hey! Grew up there, moved out east for law school, been gone for more than a decade. I did just spend 9 days at the family lake house up near Traverse City. It was incredible, we have some bald eagles that nest on the property every year, so I got to spend the week watching them fish.

Extremely insane CDR Season 2 takes in this thread... mods??

I'm kind of ambivalent on S3 as a whole after loving the first two. I thought Jada won the episode and the lip sync but Gisele's track record got her the crown, I guess. Fierce and Kimmy ended up being my faves from this season and they have to be locks for All-Stars or vsTW.

Agreed?! I've heard multiple people say CDR 2 was bad/boring and it's so weird to me. I enjoyed it a lot. In fairness, 90% of that was the Ghost lipsync and Priyanka's finale look but still...it was a fun season! CDR 3 was kinda meh to me. And it had a local girl that I love, but I bounced off it hard midway through when it was obvious certain girls were being railroaded to the top no matter what.

This season was...fine, I guess? I thought Vivian did better than she got rewarded for, but she's my local queen sooooo... Kimmy getting to the end is shocking; felt definitely like she got a lot of free passes. Obviously I am biased. Gisele winning was no surprise but not undeserved so I'm not mad about like I am UK season 3!

Thailand S2 seemed better than S1 to me so give it another shot even if S1 didn't pull you in, imo. As others have said, Philippines has been getting rave reviews so far. Per your list, did you not watch Canada S1? That one was good!!

Thailand, I tried watching it before Wow Plus and I was stuck watching bad fan subbed versions, and gave up after a couple of episodes. And I definitely watched season 1 of Canada. Loved Priyanka and Jimbo.

Search KudaLaKorn. It's got the good subbed version that I think everyone here used when the first two seasons of DRT dropped. Really good background info on certain Thai sayings, TV shows, and a whole more.

I had been hearing about Nina West for years before she was on the show because I randomly befriend a group of gay guys from Columbus. Apparently she used to use the drunken voicemail from one of my friends in her act.

Tom Holland (Spider-Man) is obviously not a drag queen and didn't tuck but with this performance I think he would make a great judge if they could afford him:

It is, it should be on Shudder at least through S5 (and I expect longer).

Meanwhile, speaking of streaming services...

Ginger and Monet are hosting a Halloween special on Hulu, coming out Oct 1, alongside other drag/queer talent. (They're introduced in video, want to let you discover for yourself.)

It's been a couple of months, Canada and Down Under have happened, other countries are still going, but we're still looking for something to hold us over until Dragula: Titans fill our Thursdays until TaskMaster starts again.

TIME FOR DRAG RACE UK 4!!!



LET'S MEET... OUR QUEENS!

Baby - 25 - South London


Black Peppa - 29 - Birmingham


Cheddar Gorgeous - 38 - Manchester



Copper Topp - 38 - Cheltenham



Dakota Schiffer - 22 - Sussex



Danny Beard - 29 - Liverpool


Jonbers Blonde - 33 - Belfast


Just May - 32 - Essex


Le Fil - 36 - Yorkshire


Pixie Polite - 29 - Brighton


Sminty Drop - 23 - Lancashire


Starlet - 23 - Surrey



I'm just here for when Joanna Lumley judges. :allears:

:siren::spooky: Remember, episodes release around 3 pm Eastern on Thursdays so discussion is fair game after that. There's also that week when the UK falls back an hour a week before North America, be cautious. :spooky::siren:

Here's hoping for a better UK season!

I tried watching the first 2 episodes of Down Under season 2, but it was really rough. It seems like in order to give a cash prize this season, they cut down on the production budget. Is it worth continuing at all, does it get better?

I'll probably watch UK season 4, even though Krystal is maybe the least deserving winner in all of drag race history. Saw a clip this week of Philippines, so I might finally follow everyone's suggestion that I watch it.

Its hard to defend down under s2 just due to production values but tbh you should watch ebery lip synch beverly kills and kween kong are in because theyre incredible and also the one minnie cooper does in heelies. An apalling season with some of the best lip synchs ive seen in any franchise
