My favourite runway looks were Victoria's and Choriza's, i was shocked that Choriza wasn't in the top as well as Victoria not winning the lip sync but one things for sure I can't wait to see what they will bring to the competition. Really enjoyed this review Matty and have a great day 😀👍🏻👍🏻
I was underwhelmed by Veronica Green, unfortunately. I really want her to do well this season, but I'm worried for her after this episode. I did read that a lot of the girls this season didn't have a lot of money going in, including Veronica, so I'm trying to keep that in mind. I cannot wait to see what else Victoria Scone is going to bring, she's my early fave.
well yes, she probably got it the worst considering she was sick with COVID and could not work, while also having to prepare for 2 consecutive seasons.
I really loved this episode to start with. I do agree though that out of the all 2nd runway categories they've given for the first UK episodes, Season 3's was the weakest sadly. I also thought they should've had a Top 4, a Safe 4, and a Bottom 4 imo. A lot of the judging this week gave very textbook storyline building for Drag Race, having Scarlett in the top while River placing low when both did a "Music" runway + creating that comment from Charity to Scarlett, and setting up the 2 19 yr olds with one winning the challenge and the other sent home, plus adding onto the "Brighton Curse", started with Joe Black, and now Anubis(she was one of my faves off of the MTQs so I was really sad to see her go). As I said on the panel, my personal tops were Charity, Choriza, Victoria, and Vanity. I do agree that Victoria should've won regardless of the lipsync, but I do think Krystal held her own so I'm not ENTIRELY mad that she won, but then again a Top 2 Lipsync creates that sort of incentive I suppose. But I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought Krystal's Hometown look wasn't that impressive, I would've placed her Safe.
Two things Matt - while Victoria is an AFAB Queen she has not broken down barriers - she is actually a easy selection in the UK. The BBC has a history of elevating the careers of Camp white female performers - they get handed TV series really easily. So can women do Drag - yes. Has Victoria had to overcome barriers by working in bars for pennies or free or had to turn to sCx work like the trans performers we see on Drag Race - nope. She is a white AFAB queen and they reign the world of comedy in the UK - they are beloved. So while she has may be the first AFAB queen doing Drag. She is no way in the same category as Landon Cider being a Drag King and Gotmik being a transman. The BBC would be highly uncomfortable with these two AFABs so they just give us a safe whyte lovable pantomine dame - in the syle of Kathey Burke, Mollie Sugden, Su Pollard. Ruth Madoc, Joanna Lumley, a that really tall woman wgo I forget the name of - . And I can tell you when people are heaping praise on her she is not smilling with tears as she has not overcome anything she is a safe bet - is she a great enetrtainer - yes. Do I enjoy her yes . Is she underrepresented in UK TV - nope. The Drag Fandom might be jumping up and down but the UK public is confused and dont care simply because she is what we alerady have see on British TV for decades. She also has not opened doors for AFAB drag queens of colour - when a whyte female opens a door it closes behind them in the UK we will have to find our own way there is zero sisterhood.
I agree with Matty. Krystal’s first look was really nothing to gag over. It’s frustrating Michelle didn’t give her the same critique as Anabus on that second look
Sorry I'm Late... but YES - In the Hearts of South London/(Suburbs) Croydon is the Little Caribbean (Especially 🇯🇲) is LOUD ‼ ... and the Government is trying to get us Gentrified, but we ain't going No Where. P.S Matty you & your friends need to come on down here, discover the Area codes 🇬🇧🤗✈🌎
Victoria Scone, hands down! Choriza May, so entertainting, I live!!! Veronica Green is a CHOP CHOP CHOP. She even conceded to Ella Vaday during that convo! It's a chop!
Happy belated birthday, Matty! I'm sorry I'm late. I just found out that we actually share the same birthday (September 24), and I just got back home from visiting family in New Mexico. I hope you had an amazing time in San Diego. As far as DRUK goes, I'm so excited to see what is going to happen. The first episode set it up very well. So I hope it stays just as good. Im glad you agree with me about Anubis's first look. I didn't like it very much. But everyone else I've seen all say they love it and think it's great. I just think it swallows her up too much and doesn't look all that great. But I think almost all of us can agree that her second look just wasn't it. Thanks for all the content, Matty! Cheers!
Victoria is a safe choice for the BBC - she fits the profile of women they uplift. I would be more impressed with a transman or a drag King. she also has not open doors for WOC who want to do the same thing. That door closed behind her .
Good review Matty. Welcome back. Glad u had fun. This cast has more talent than looks... not a dis just an observation. And humor & campiness is their baseline. Ok. Lol.
I feel like Kitty was on a reserve list because someone dropped out, and she had to get her outfits sorted in a week! (love her though) Elekra is from my home town, so I HAVE to support her. I think there is much more too her... Matty - please keep saying Burnley in your accent. I love it! Proper northern way to say it is BURNLEH xx
@@luigi57968 afab means assigned female at birth, so gottmik is also afab and therefore the first afab queen to walk in the werkroom. in terms of what they identify as during the competition, if im not mistaken, victoria identifies as a woman so she would be the first cisgender woman to compete, and i believe gottmik was the first trans man. someone correct me if im wrong!
This Episode's Judging Already has me worried for the rest of the Season. Choriza was Amazing but they paid her DUST Which I feel like is gonna happen the rest of the time she's there until they get hid of her for making the tiniest mistake or they'll make up something to send her home, I can already feel it. Victoria Scone did awesome also and I feel like she's gonna make it to the Top or they will bring her back for Season 4 if some of the Rumors I heard about her are True. We will see I guess.
“You get a badge no cash” lol ☠️😂 Why don’t they get any cash prices though people over here need money too? And the overall prize is a bit weird to me won’t Ru and their production team get money off of this? Can someone enlighten me? x
You think America is bad with hating immigrants here in the UK we literally f our self's. Will England and Wales did in brexit. Because they didn't want immigrant, legal immigrants in the uk. Where ad Scotland and here in Northern Ireland voted remains. So she different triggered a few right wingers. Like no trade deal, we lost 10k workers from the NHS which has worsen over covid-19. We have food shortage because there is shortage of HGV driver. Prices have went up. Its a shit show.
Matt you came for Scarlet A for Blkface and Karen , You should. You even came for Raven. So why not come for Matt Lucaswho is beloved in the UK and made millions doing characters like Precious Little a work shy blk woman working in the air port - complete with shoe polish and accent or Ting Tong a Fillipino lady boy. AM I going mad with people being called out - then certain people being give a pass because they are British and rich. People calling out Scarlet A now seems like bullying ( I dont care and dont feel sorry for her either) when you are all patting Matt Lucas on the back for doing what she did bigger, better and becoming richer from it. Matt was neither young , oblivious or desperate for money, By the way the BBC onky banned his series after BLM I thank my real sisters in the USA starting the campaign. The did what we Blk ppl could not do in the UK for the last 80 years, Sorry for the rant but as a WOC when I see Matt - I just see a polished , more privileged , richer Scarlett
@@sammccormick9109 As Matt Lucas is white British that is between you and him, And UK is 50 years behind the USA , It is not up to a group of white men to say how well they work with minorities. The fact you think that shows how far you are behind in your thinking
@@sammccormick9109 Cobblers to you I would like to see Matt Lucas doing his Precious Litte impression in the USA, The only reason people dont complain in the UK is because they get shot down by whyte male bullies who try to control the narrative and live so far back in the past - they insist on speaking on the behalf of others. You know how many people that guy hasoffended - nope as you dont care,Jokes are for families we are NOT fam, we dont travel in the same social circles and there is no love coming from you to me - just control on your part. If you lot arent hating your mocking. And heaven forbid you allow someone else to express their feelings. ONLY YOU can be angry, hurt or upset. Other people are just sensitive, The only valid emotions are your own -
Vanity Milan was truly a producer's dream this episiode. Sister was going from trauma to trauma collecting them tears.

@@du3844-m4v yep
Crystals cat look had some fifth element Ruby Rhod influence too. The cowl cut off the shoulder is ripped right from Ruby.
Anyone who walked runway after Victoria Scone should have been worried.
I really enjoyed Charity Kase’s look regarding “favourite things”. I didn’t mind the winner but in my opinion Victoria Scone should have won overall.
The Thomas waghorn statue wasn’t made with the cone it’s just a thing people do they always put a traffic cone on it’s head

Crystal Versace has the best makeup in drag race herstory periodt
Beat to hell and back lol
Her face is just so damn good. Like up there with Raven in my unnecessary opinion.
definitely one of the best. I still think Valentina's mug is untouchable.

Is it just me or was Elektra dancing out of time to the music at times 🥴
I didn't even realize her dress cause of the loudness from the wig... is that an H&M dress?

That's all
