Ru Paul’s Drag Race (v2)

This is not a place to debate the rights and wrongs of drag, comments on this subject will be reported for deletion. The Feminism forum (where you will often find me, feminists can like drag too) is that way ->

Week 2 thoughts? I thought the right person went but I thought the bottom two should have been the other bottom Queen.

The right team won too!

Saw the semi final yday. As no one else has commented I won't discuss what happened/who went but barely a tear was shed! 😉
Most surprised!

Me too @Whereisthehugeteddybear!

but

that roast was less of a ristretto and more of a Mellow Birds 🤣

Black Peppa definitely deserved to stay this week for a change, the right person definitely got sent home.

I've no idea who will win, it could either be Danny or Cheddar who performs strongest on the day..

Well after the main challenge, there could only be one winner. Based on the lip sync, the right person went home - it looked they just gave up anyway. The runway looks were fabulous apart from one. Roll on the final!

Loved that episode and absolutely the right decision (they should have gone already in the family resemblance challenge). But Peppa absolutely smashed that lipsync - the outfit, the attitude, the contact lenses...could not take my eyes off her. My favourite lipsync performance of the series - she blew me away.
So, despite me having questioned her still being there, she was a worthy contender in this one as was Jonbers.
It's a two-horse race though, let's be honest and with 4 badges a piece, not a lot in it. I'd be happy with both Cheddar and Danny sharing the title but happy for either. They've both been fabulous.

Danny or Cheddsfor me

and I agree Black Peppa deserved to stay after the lip sync.

pixie Fucked It Up 😁

Glad I'm not in charge of picking the winner as I can't call it between Danny and Cheddar

That fall in the lipsync - ouch!

I felt a bit for Jonbers - they did a really good job on the challenge, especially coming after Danny had smashed it out the park. Another week it would have been enough for a badge! I didn't get why everyone was so surprised that Jonbers was good, he's very funny in thr talking heads and has that a quirky delivery that we've seen before.

Cheddar got in her own head about going last but I didn't think it was BAD, just a bit cerebral. The opening, "insignificant humans of the planet earth - sorry, that's a different speech" gag made me actually laugh out loud.

For sure there's a very obvious Top 2!

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a surprise Peppa win. Ru seems to decide he likes someone, he has already let Peppa stay when she should have gone and Krystal Versace had an undeserved win last season.

Cheddar, Peppa and Pixie all died on stage but at least Peppa made a decent joke out of it. I actually thought that it should have been Cheddar and Pixie lipsyncing, with Pixie to leave.

i thought that Jonbers was in with a shout at winning, too. I thought he was funnier than Danny in the roast.

No idea why this post seems to be in italics!

I really warmed to peppa this episode, perfect handling of bombing on stage and I think their gentleness and soft spoken personality brings good variety to the genre.

I would have loved to see CG and PP in the lip sync. I love CG but a bit of self doubt may have helped her step it up for the final.

I do think CG will win, only because Danny Beard is very much like The Vivienne (and not just geographically) and Laurence Chaney. CG is more from the Gottmik/Yvie Oddly/Sasha Velour school and I don't think we've had that type of winner on Drag Race UK yet. Still no idea why Krystal Versace won.

Black Peppa is an amazing lip sync assassin. I'm not surprised she's slayed and stayed.

It’s a shame that Cheddar is so WORTHY. But maybe you’re right and it’s a case of every genre of queen getting a go at being the U.K. champ.

The Viv: comedy and master of disguise.

Laurence Chaney: Billy Connolly in a frock.

Krystal: Looks only but one for the young fans.

Cheddar: Sasha Velour minus the humour.

Then in series 5 the drama school queen gets a go etc etc

By the way, I thought Copper looked stunning in that semi-final

Only just found the second thread. I started the first thread that was deleted.
Team Danny all the way... I spoke to him recently when he was with ds2.
My friends daughter is autistic and adores Danny too.. I messaged him and asked if he would could do a group video call with f's d...
He was very sweet and kind to her. He gave ds2 a new tee shirt and had him up on stage with him..

Great to have you back @Elderflower14 ! Next time you speak to Danny, can you tell him that he looked absolutely beautiful in that blue ruffle outfit.

Will do.. Forgot to say we were discussing DR at the lunch table when my sister and her family were here last weekend. My sister is not au fait with DR and was asking why ds2 was interested in noisy dirty cars going round a track!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
We did explain to her!!

I’m looking forward to the final tomorrow! I’ll be happy with Danny, Cheddar or a joint win.

Definitely rooting for Cheddar here and not just because they know my hairdresser.

Me too. Worthy winners.

Mum and I are waiting to watch at 9.. Ds2 has his sign language class but he will be watching too.

I'm still trying to convince my DD2 (9) that it's not a programme for children. She looked at me like I'd lost my mind. "It's OBVIOUSLY a children's programme, mum. They do dressing up!"

When DS was going onto the field for a hockey match last Sunday I said "good luck" and she added, at the top of her lungs, "and don't fuck it up!" I was looking for an open hole in the ground to jump into!!

This was ds2 and Danny last month.... They had a fab time!!

I'm crying!!!!
Ds2 is beyond excited!!!!

How fabulous @Elderflower14
