Drag Race UK Series 3 - Herstory in the making

[Zampa]

Anyone else watching?

Yes I didn't get Kitty's runway look either.
Will really miss River and Chorizo. They seemed to have the most personality in the to camera videos. River is so young and seems so lovely ! I do like Vanity but thought she'd go before River and Chorizo.

Kitty, Ella and urgh Scarlet in the final 3 ? Judges seem to love Scarlet for some reason 🤔

I reckon it’ll be Krystal, Ella and Kitty in the final. Vanity to go next week, Scarlett to miss the final due to a crisis of confidence (not a moment too soon, she’s driving me bananas). Ru was completely stoking it last night - ‘why do you think all the girls have it in for you?’ - she’s definitely being kept in for the drama.

I love River but I did think she was flat last night and her snatch game was poor. Choriza didn’t deserve to go although she wasn’t one of my favourites. Ella as Nigella was inspired!!

The judging this season has been really rubbish IMO. Still addicted though so

Ooh, that picked up a bit, didn't it?

Scarlett really hadn't taken criticism well. And River didn't mince her words: "So, who thinks Charity shouldn't have gone?" Would you like a spoon to stir things a little more, dear?

Kitty and Ella were brilliant in the Snatch Game - Krystal and Vanity were playing other people playing other people so...tricky and not brilliantly done. And who the fuck is Charity Shop Sue? River fell flat compared to Kitty, Scarlett's Him-From-Home-Alone was rather one note and Choriza was harshly but perhaps fairly judged for being the person rather than being a caricature. Which I suppose it what happens when you pick a caricature in the first place.

As for the outfits, Choriza was definitely unfairly judged - yes, OK, Carmen Miranda was perhaps a predictable choice but I liked the head-dress peaches where they looked like bottoms Not sure why Vanity's similarly-themed but less decorative outfit got rated when Choriza got criticised Krystal wheeled out a similar outfit to before - if she had any fewer dimensions she'd be invisible - and Scarlett was quite accurately described as looking like a lettuce. And not in a good way.

Ella looked fabulous but what the fuck was River thinking? A body stocking with a few bits of fruit tacked on and a something that was quite clearly a repurposed umbrella. Handy for the criticism that rained down on her, I suppose...

As for the lip sync, if Ru's face was capable of emotion I'm sure we'd have seen his displeasure that way, but as it was all he could do was bin them both off as a 'Don't make me sit through that crap again" warning to the others. On the basis of that alone they both deserved to go.

I'm rooting for Kitty or Ella to win. I love them both.

Oh and I haven’t posted on this thread before but I’m delighted to find my fellow ‘Ella’s boy self is fit’ people

I'm delighted with the winner and glad to see they are not just a pretty face. I'm a bit gutted for the losers. I like Kitty too but she seems to fly under the radar a bit. I wonder if Krystal has peaked too soon.

Agree that there's no clear winners this season but Ella is my fave. Out of drag they are so conventionally handsome as well, which make their drag persona all the more tantalising as well.

After that lip sync I’m not surprised that they both left. Their performance was something like me and my sister would do drunk at a wedding. I did like both of them more than at least 3 of the queens still left in, but it’s no good simply being funny in the VTs- you can’t stay if you can’t perform in a lip sync!

I’m really pissed off with that ending - neither deserved to leave. Scarlett’s Macauley Culkin impression was crap and boring (and haven’t people on previous series been criticised for dressing as boys?). The producers have clearly got their final three already decided, but they shouldn’t make it quite so obvious.

Ella is my favourite of those who are left, followed by Kitty.

DollyWilde he's gorgeous isn't he ? Really starting to see more personality coming through which is great.

Hooray - have finally found the thread. Am gutted for River. I wanted her to come third (Kitty and Ella as Joint Winners).

Here is a bit of Marguerita Pracatan singing badly which shows how unfairly judged Chorizo was. Kitty and Chorizo are both in the same panto this year so we haven’t seen the end of her.

I was sad they went. I'd rather have seen Vanity and Scarlett in the bottom two. Having said that I thought Scarlett's lip sync last week was immense.

Ella for the win please. I do like Kitty and would pay to see her but she's a bit um shabby.

I'm sad about the two that went, yes their lip syncs were lame, but I feel that they had so much more potential than Scarlett or Kitty, who are just boring imo.
I was disappointed with River's Amy - it seemed extremely derivative of Bimini's Katie Pwice, and Scarlett's Macauley Culkin was frankly embarrassing. I think Ella deserved her win, but I feel the standard was very low all round. Nigella wasn't a patch on The Viv's Trump or Bimini's Pwicey.
I don't think doing a caricature of a caricature should really matter- you can still ham it up - look at Tayce's Jane Turner as Kath last year!

Scarlett should have gone by now. That Home Alone nonsense was embarrassing.

So sad that chorizo (meaty tuck) has gone.

I was reading elsewhere, and agree, that Scarlet wasn't even in drag during snatch game

Baffling how she stayed and poor old chorizo didn't.

I didn’t understand that either. It was a plain jumper and no drag. It wasn’t funny.

I meant ChorizA

I was thinking about the meaty tuck

I didn't realise there was a mumsnet thread!!

I was quite gutted about both River and Chorizo going, I thought neither deserved to be in the bottom. It wasn't a stunning lipsync though.

I do like Scarlett, but yeah, she should have been out a few weeks ago!

I was sad to see Charity go, as they'd only given her the critique to change it up the night they kicked her out. That gold outfit was stunning, even if I'm not a fan of the costume make up all the time.

I felt so sorry for Veronica green, she seems quite a fragile person so I hope she's doing ok, I think it came down to money though, as she'd have bought all the outfits for season 2 as well as 3. She is touring, so hope that helps her. She was the weakest that week though.

Really wasn't sure when I heard an AFAB queen was included, but I loved Victoria! Exactly my sort of drag, campy and entertaining. I like that she padded and would never have guessed she was AFAB from only looking at her drag pictures. Maybe on her height I guess, but not much can be done on that!

Enjoyed snatch game, bet Sum Ting Wong was home thinking how she could've done a good Nigella. Loved Ella's Nigella though, great interaction with the other queens though.

And YY to hot boy Ella, seems a nice person too and their personality is starting to come out too, they are my favourite to win.

Krystal is talented, but my god, I really feel for her, having that much work done at such a young age. Really not a fan of breastplates either, tacky, like PP said, I prefer padding with shading make up

I know a few will still be catching up but I am so pleased with that episode! Justice was done imo

Loved that!!

Wow. Really fantastic result.

Vanity Milan slayed the final look tonight.....and Scarlett Harlett. Very strong final looks from all though tonight. Hard choice to sashay away

I am a big KSC fan and think she's got the right combination of looks, humour and personality. Think she'll be crowned this season.

Brilliant episode. I loved virtually all the looks and Alesha Dixon was a fantastic guest judge. The right person went home at the end too, unlike last week.

I do worry a bit about Krystal - she is incredibly talented, but so young and seems quite innocent and vulnerable. Hope she has lots of real life support.

Think it was the right bottom two and the right elimination

I'm falling in lust with Ella more and more every week

Best episode yet and in her final runway and lip sync Vanity was sensational tonight - to think last week I'd have been happy to see her go!

I do love KSC but I think she has too much of the Lawrence Cheney vibe to win. I think it might be between Ella and Vanity (if Vanity keeps on improving).

Ella is so beautiful. As a boy and in drag. 😍

I really enjoyed that episode! Aleesha Dixon is just fab, and so gorgeous. I loved how much fun she was having in the lip sync. And vanity totally deserved to stay, her lip sync was great.

I was reading how on drag race USA they wheel out old has-beens as guest judges, but I feel that the UK guest judges have all been quality.
