‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×10’ Review

by Rhys Payne

After being hyped up as the world’s greatest comedy queen for the entire episode, Pixie Polite ended up in the bottom for the political campaign/roast challenge in last week’s episode. She then had to battle against this season’s lip-sync assassin Black Peppa and if that wasn’t bad enough, she even took a tumble during the […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×09’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to admit that I was thoroughly disappointed with the ‘squirrel games’ acting channel on last week’s episode and to be honest it was not down to the queen’s performances themselves. While the queens did seem to struggle during the rehearsal process, their individual performances were mostly entertaining but the biggest problem I had […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×08’ Review

by Rhys Payne

It’s crazy to think that has been almost four years since the first ever season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK was announced which shone a light on a much more British version of drag. I think when this show was first announced there was concern amongst the fans that the Drag Race format would […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×07’ Review

by Rhys Payne

All the way back on Drag Race US season two (which was just over twelve years ago) Ru Paul introduced the first-ever snatch game that saw the queens showcase their best celebrity impressions in a bid to make the queen supreme laugh. Since then this challenge has become a key part of any season of […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×06’ Review

by Rhys Payne

As a musical theatre fan, last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK was a dream come true! What started with one of the most accurate yet hilarious Ru-sical performances (that had the queens all singing live) transitioned into a runway that celebrated some of the most iconic shows to ever hit the west […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×05’ Review

by Rhys Payne

Last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK marked the third time in a row that the queens were grouped together for the main challenge. I can totally appreciate the frustration that these group challenges cause as it takes a lot more for a queen to stand out in a group than on their […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×04’ Review

by Rhys Payne

In all honesty, I am not the biggest fan of the voting-style mini-challenges that have become so frequent across all franchises on Ru Paul’s Drag Race because they are clearly just ploys to introduce some drama into the show. Getting the queens to vote for each other in categories such as background character, hot mess […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×03’ Review

by Rhys Payne

In last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK so the remaining queens grouped together to write and perform an original verse to “Come Alive” during the first-ever YAS-tonbury music festival. While it wasn’t the most memorable song/performance I do think a few queens were able to shine. Sminty, Jonbers and Starlet however seemed […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 4×02’ Review

by Rhys Payne

From a very young age, I was always told that first impressions are the fundamental step in showcasing yourself as a person. Whether you are at a job interview or meeting new colleagues etc then making sure you portray yourself in a positive light is vital and the ideas formed from this first meeting are […]

I don’t think it’s a particularly well-kept secret but I am a massive fan of all things Ru Paul’s Drag Race! I honestly become overcome with excitement whenever a new season is announced but I have to admit that I am not watching as many of the international franchises as I would like to due […]

We have finally made it to the finale episode of season three of  Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK, where one of the top three queens will join icons such as The Vivienne (winner of season one) and Lawerence Chaney (winner of season two) by becoming the next UK drag superstar! Last weeks episode saw the […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 3×09’ Review

by Rhys Payne

Who would have thought that an overacting challenge that mashed together Star Wars and Doctor Who would be the saving grace of the season! Not only was last weeks acting challenge very entertaining but it also allowed every one of the top four queens to showcase their talents, which is essentially what the whole competition […]

by Rhys Payne

I have to admit that I personally did not enjoy last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK! The queens competed in the first-ever FUGLY (friend you got to love yourself) ball but for the first time ever the series took a much more game show approach to the episode which had the queens […]

by Rhys Payne

I have to admit that I am disappointed in Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK! They had just got over the run of rather lacklustre episodes with a pretty good snatch game episode and they thought that this would be the perfect time to try a radical new challenge. So far the more experimental challenges (such […]

I have to admit that last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK was probably one of the worse in drag race her-story! Due to the poor performances for the majority of the queens in the drag Alexa advert challenge, Ru announced that there were no winners last week which means that no one […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 3×05’ Review

Season three of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK started off very well but as each episode goes by it seems like the production team almost ran out of energy for the show. Last weeks episode was so disappointing with two versions of the new song called “BDE,” with the only particularly memorable thing being the […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 3×04’ Review

by Rhys Payne

In last weeks episode, we saw the elimination of two fan-favourite queens who I personally thought would have gone much further in the competition. It was announced that Victoria Scone would not be returning to the show after damaging her knee during a winner lip-sync in episode one. Veronica Green ended up in the bottom […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK 3×03’ Review

by Rhys Payne

So last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK wasn’t my favourite. I thought that the mini-challenge was only there to create drama and almost forced Crystal to become the pseudo-villain of the season. Also, the fitness inspired dance challenges was very messy with none of the girls doing particularly well. Crystal Versace was […]

Last week we saw eleven new queens (and one returning queen) enter the werk room in the hopes to become the next drag race superstar. Unfortunately for Anubis, this dream didn’t last very long as, after her lip-sync against Electra Fence, she was sent home. The more press interviewers and clips of Anubis that I […]

I think we can all agree that season two of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK was one for the history books! It was crammed full of iconic moments such as the iconic H&M rant, the shocking mid season nine-month break, the infectious UK hun song just to name a few! This means that the queens […]

Well… last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK was a lot! We had a very interesting comedy challenge performed in front of an empty audience, with one of the queens jokes having to be bleeped-out due to their nan ringing up the BBC (it was A’whora); we had drama by the bucket full; […]
