Yes, it’s a twist that has been introduced in the past – on the 12th and 13th seasons of the US original – but it’s always taken the place of the lip-sync for your life format.
Victoria and Krystal’s rave responses from the panel didn’t come as a shock, but the shock came later: RuPaul revealing that, not only will the bottom two queens lip-sync, but the top two will also battle it out on the stage for the win. While the latter made RuPaul unleash her signature cackle with her Waghorn, she ultimately fell in the bottom three alongside Elektra Fence, who failed to impress with her Burnley and birthday runways, as well as Anubis, whose campy appreciation of Brighton Pier’s Helter Skelter and sea creatures garnered mixed reviews. Other standout runways include Vanity Milan’s ode to South London and Jamaica, Choriza May’s art extravaganza and River Medway’s tribute to Medway’s iconic statue of Thomas Waghorn. Krystal cemented her status as the fashun queen of the season with a thorn-inspired runway and a leather catsuit – the face was giving us Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns realness, and it was a goddamn moment. The former supplied us with all the camp energy she promised in our interview as she dressed as a giant daffodil, the national flower of Wales, and an afternoon tea cake stand. There wasn’t a lack of fierce looks on that runway, particularly from Victoria and Krystal Versace, who were deemed the top two contestants of the week. Like the past two seasons, a look inspired by their hometown, and – new category alert! – a look inspired by their favourite things.

Despite the lack of racial diversity this season, the inclusion of the aforementioned queens, and the celebration of them, proves that the series is more committed than ever to casting talent that aren’t just cis gay men.įor their first maxi-challenge, the contestants stomped down the runway in two high-fashion ensembles. This year alone, we’ve also had Gottmik making history as the first trans male competitor, and Kylie Sonique Love winning the All Stars 6 crown – becoming the first trans contestant to win a season of Drag Race hosted by RuPaul. We don’t mean to single out these two queens in particular, but the breath of fresh air they’ve just inserted into the franchise is monumental. And whew, Charity Kase? The British Horror Story we need and deserve. It felt… euphoric? Her sisters welcoming her with open arms, as well as the judging panel, shows how far the series has come in recent years when it comes to representation and inclusivity. Victoria Scone entering the Drag Race werkroom as the franchise’s first ever cis female – and lesbian – competitor was everything and more. WELL, GREAT NEWS DRAG RACERS: the premiere was an absolute triumph. Admittedly, the premiere had some big mothertucking boots to fill, what with the second season becoming one of the most well-received instalments in the show’s entire 13-year herstory ( we’re gonna go ahead and plug our ranking of all RuPaul seasons here, why not?) thanks to the eclectic mix of queens, bonkers maxi-challenges and, of course, the Grammy-nominated pop anthem UK Hun?.
