I'll have an ounce of what he was on when he wrote that, please.

I'd love to see a UK version of Secret Celebrity Drag Race. All Stars 5 starts soon though so that's something to look forward to.

As far as Sherry goes she was clearly being set up during filming to be "the one to beat" and then has proven to be a total liability. I wasn't impressed at all this week.

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 10/05/2020 23:41

Nico was annoying. I wanted Jermaine to win. But Jordan stole the show with that lipsync.
Loni was ok. I wanted Tami to win. Vanessa always had it in the bag.

Secret Sleb Drag Race UK version - they only really need to grab the ones who've done Dancing for Sport Relief, you know the ilk...Rufus Hound, Noel Fielding, Keith Lemon, Bloody Lulu, Robert Webb, Russell Kane, Katie Price, Jodie Prenger...throw in David Tennant, Russell Brand, Rylan, Mel or Sue, a Spice girl, and Anthony Head. It's all for charidee, I reckon some of them will end up on it. Wink

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 11/05/2020 00:33

Nope. I couldn't finish the Nico/Bethany article either. If it was a ceremony just and only for them, no real need to write an article about it.
Came over as very special snowflake, aren't we unique - not really, no. Bowie, Lennox, Boy George et al were playing with gender bending before you were born. You are a married couple who have been together 11 years - on again, off again. Your wife didn't come on Drag Race - why not? because you might have been considered to be as straight as those competing with you?
Have affairs - your call, have them with the same sex, meh...You have not invented the concept of an open marriage nor are you the first bisexuals to have teamed up.
I know each generation thinks they are groundbreaking but fuck me, put on lippy or don't, no-one gives a fuck. I am pretty sure RuPaul would eyeroll and yawn his way through that article too.

iklboo · 11/05/2020 17:29

RuPaul's grin was a bit fixed at NicoTheTwat. This week's was much funnier. The contestants all bounced off each other.

GeraltOfRivia · 11/05/2020 17:56

Yeah I agree, this weeks was ace. The roasts were all fab.

iklboo · 17/05/2020 13:48

I wonder what they'll do with the finale now Sherry Pie is disqualified (can't believe he's on 27)? Three queen final or bring back this week's eliminated?

GeraltOfRivia · 17/05/2020 14:59

Well they've announced its remote. Three way lip sync. Vote. Loser out. Lip sync for title?

iklboo · 17/05/2020 15:03

Ooh no. Sounds a real let down. What a shame.

GeraltOfRivia · 17/05/2020 15:12

I know. The article I read says the reunion next week was filmed with everyone remote too. The shade won't be the same!

iklboo · 17/05/2020 18:04

I hope it's done well and not 'through a fuzzy sock Zoom'.

RobuxBriberyIsMyLifeNow · 23/05/2020 23:47

Just watched the reunion - anyone know how Brits vote or can't we?

iklboo · 24/05/2020 12:12

I know you can #Team(queen name) on Twitter but I don't think it counts towards the final result.

GeraltOfRivia · 24/05/2020 13:15

I thought it was a bit flat online. Will still watch the finale. I'd like Gigi or Crystal to win. I never warmed to Jaida.

iklboo · 24/05/2020 13:29

I know what you mean Geralt. Her lewks are gorgeous but she doesn't seem to have much personality. Gigi has grown on me and Crystal has been good fun.

SpencerReidsMistress · 24/05/2020 13:32

Jackie can I borrow a condom I know you're always safe 😂 I love Crystal. Jaida hasn't grown on me.

GeraltOfRivia · 30/05/2020 19:36

Anyone on the finale yet? I need to talk about Crystal's solo lip sync Grin

HidingUnderMyDuvet · 30/05/2020 20:19

Just finished @GeraltOfRivia! I'm shocked!

GeraltOfRivia · 30/05/2020 20:58

Rubbish decision. Totally terrible. I'm really irritated actually.

RobuxBriberyIsMyLifeNow · 31/05/2020 00:07

Had it been live Gigi's monochrome to Dorothy magic change dress and her red shoes reveal/boots strip would have had much more impact.
Had she done a forward walkover to reveal her pants or a dip then floor lit to yellow (brick road) would have had more impact/energy.

She was going to do Dorothy regardless of lipsync songchoice but Dorothy does not scream Bey. She'd have been better getting her mum's theatre friends to have done her a lighting up Michael Jackson style yellow tile floor and doing Judy as her middle lip sync then channelling her inner Beyonce with big yellow lemonade style gown
that could have been flung off to reveal yellow top/skirt combo from Destiny's Child video - or army combats down to a khaki bikini and learnt some of that choreo.

I said I would be happy with any winning but my DD is proclaiming Gigi wuz robbed when beforehand we were probably team Crystal.
When push comes to shove, Jaida is beautiful and had some stunning runways.
I probably would have given it Gigi based on the finale but it also came over a lot like me doing my daughter's homework for her. Having a theatrical designer for an ally/mum and contacts does give a hell of an advantage.
Crystal won me over but her drag was more dress up than actual drag. I can count on one hand how many times they even tried to emulate femme: which is good if you hate drag as a female parody but kind of negates the point of the show, to be dressed as a girl rather than a clown/freddy kreuger/purple cow/scrooge/pinata/bird - it was original but very pantomime. I haven't seen every series so do not know the demographics of either the audience or the winners and how many winners have been comedy queens/looks queens/pageant queens/avant garde and how many have been black, white or latino...not even sure that that matters but dare say the results are bound by hashtags and viewer vote anyway (I couldn't vote but would be interested in what the stats were).

iklboo · 31/05/2020 12:27

Crystal's solo lip sync was hilarious. Totally not drag As We Know It but bloody funny.

GeraltOfRivia · 31/05/2020 14:02

Jaida is pretty and good but she is just another pretty queen. I really liked crystal. She thinks outside the box. Gigi I love but her performances on the finale didn't blow me away, they were just excellent.

HidingUnderMyDuvet · 31/05/2020 21:13

I thought Jaida was excellent, but so boring compared to the others.
I thought Gigi should have had it.
Crystal is hilarious and I absolutely love what she does, but like @iklboo said, it isn't drag as we know it, so I'm not sure she should be next drag superstar?
Gigi is just so talented and creative, I think she was robbed too!

Smithtylater · 05/06/2020 12:46

All Stars 5 starts tonight!

Can we watch it tonight or will we have to wait until tomorrow morning?
