The Riggory of Drag Race UK 2
Вставка

- NOTE: Saying Lawrence got dragged to the end was messy and I don’t actually believe that. I should have just said Ellie instead of lumping them together. My apologies! Remember I’m a stupid American who think we know everything when we really don’t ♥️
Remember, this is a reality show, and the producers are just trying to make the most interesting stories that they can. No hate to the queens, producers, or Ru (except for the fracking)
Let me know in the comments below what you think was the biggest example of riggory in UK2!

So Bimini made it to the end with no storyline ....just pure talent
absolute legend
But maybe that’s what hurt them. If they had a stronger story maybe it would have helped ?
@@sA-qk8jr bimini story was started from the bottom now were at the top
Ugh, I just LOVE Bim so much!
@@isaacmahoney5947 how was it a jinkx storyline? jinkx wasnt in the bottom until right at the end, she was in the top 8 times in a row in fact
When Michelle said “This doesn’t read Bowie to me” I about lost it, out of everyone aside from Astina, Joe’s Bowie was the most obvious reference to their icon
This was just pure trash. That outfit was instantly recognizable as being Bowie's most famous look.
You'd think Michelle would've listened to Bowie atleast once but to say "That doesn't read Bowie to me" is Slander!!!
apparently michelle’s never seen life on mars because that’s one of his most replicated/recognizable looks. lady gaga has done it, sandy powell, jessica lange, plenty of people have proven its recognizable.
Literally the instant I saw it I knew it who it was and from which video. How can you be a judge of show that focuses so much on pop culture and be that ignorant of it.
When Peppermint dressed as Bowie (pretty much the same outfit) in US drag race, Michelle again said it wasn’t bowie enough and that she should’ve drawn a lightning bolt across her face, which shows how little she knows about Bowie
I always felt so bad when they would be like “Tayce you did so much better than we thought” and then would throw her in the bottom. The mistreatment of Tayce smh
I hated the fact that on the ruruvision episode they gave the win to the group in order to get another badge to Lawrence, when in my opinion Tayce should have won alone
@@griseldadominguez8734 I would have also accepted Bimini winning that one alone.
I remember when Michelle said 'Is it elevated? No, but that's you' to Tayce during the tail end of the season. I was so annoyed
@@griseldadominguez8734 I think Tayce and Bimini, Bimini's verse was by far the superior one.
@@griseldadominguez8734 but this isn't true, the group challenge was a team win in season one as well and they continued that for season three. Lawrence picked a good team and did well in the challenge.
Bimini said that all of her runway looks after the covid break were the looks she brought originally, so that's even more impressive.
Honestly I didn’t see a massive improvement in her looks because I thought her looks were already good they just needed tweaks
thank you !! this storyline "oh she improved her drag" was just here to justify her mistreatment in the first episodes
omg i didnt know this
Yeah, thats not true. She even got work done on her face, a completely different contestant just like sister sister
@@Imtrollingcalmdown yea. I also didn't believe this
Cherry did have a storyline though...but it’s outside of drag. She comes from a completely different background and is a NHS nurse - that would’ve been a great storyline to put into drag race but idk why they didn’t :( justice for cherry, honestly
Agreed, I think cherry had so much more to give. Such a shame really.
That is not a drag race storyline. That's her life story
@@asareirene that’s what I mean, it’s outside of drag. But so was Lawrence’s school bullying, so was the Tayce and Awhora storyline, Ellie and Lawrence helped each other’s drag outside...
@@dannyrice1484 But unlike the others, it was not related to any other queens or the show. Her story is like someone talking about their trauma back home. It's not related to any of the queens on the show and so it can't be a storyline for the show
@@dannyrice1484 you are not getting it. Lawrence and Ellie's relationship played a part in the show. We saw them pair up with each other a lot and help each other and compete against each other. Same with Awhora and Tayce. Lawrence's bullying was not a part of her storyline on the show but it was a part of her story. There's a very clear difference.
I actually think they didn't mean for Joe to go home first. They wanted to scare the contestants by putting him in the bottom 2 (no one is safe), but they didn't anticipate Bimini would do such a good job on that song. That's a very campy, Joe Black show kind of song and Bimini pulled out every trick to stay.
zw
Joe also stopped lip syncing at points in the song and was doing some interesting stuff so they probably weren’t expecting that either on top of Bimini surprising them
@@carlyc6525 Joe did the same against Tia as well.
@@carlyc6525 He meant to stop lipsyncing. The lyrics of the song say "Relax, don't do it" and than Joe stopped, doing what the song said.
Joe's lip-sync just wasn't very good. Let's be honest.
Awhora was one of the best contestants on this show. Did not screw up one challenge until the one she went home on. She deserved to be in the final three.
and imo she didn't even do that bad on that challenge and the lipsync was amazing.
Truly one of the best ways to leave Drag Race.
Also her leaving left a clear top 2 on Bimini and Lawrence
Awhora should of been in final
Awhora is a foul person. Does not deserve that spot.
@@Jen-ju8st do u know her?
@@Jen-ju8stlike your mother
To me (I'm Canadian and have loved on the UK and my Dad is from there) this season really showed the problems with Ru and Michelle judging the UK competition. The Drag culture is different, the culture in general is different and it's very very obvious that they just don't get it.
i was just thinking this! i think michelle lives in the uk part time (might be wrong though), but i really don't think either of them are fully immersed in uk drag & culture. that's why i'm actually quite happy neither of them are on the canadian panel, it's nice to see judges who fully understand the inside jokes/things that others might not fully understand
It read like "entitled US brats shitting on UK culture and UK drag culture for 1 season straight". I hated it from beginning to end (talking about the way Ru and Mich nitpicked every little detail or were completely clueless, or just entitled). They're truly coming from the US with a different drag culture and culture in general and wanna make the queens LITERALLY fit into what they've grown with/worked with.
That is a problem that's also going to play a part in Down Under, they are too "american" and that's the problem with them judging outside the US they are going to homogenized the queens for the sake of the american viewers
@@griseldadominguez8734 I'm SO GLAD Drag Race Thailand, Netherland and Spain did not and will not have Ru and Michelle as judges.
@@TheLastEgg08 RIGHT?!?!? I am actually so OVER Rupaul, i know her name is on the show, and all that , but those two have a very narrow vie of drag, i am watching a chilean show called versus and they had a hyper queen (i honestly didn't know about them - biological women doing drag) and i was like WOW!!! (she was a wet rag, but still... diversity, you know?)
I think Lawrence probably won because of the prize being a WOW show instead of money. He’s much more suited to that kind of thing than Bimini, and as you said, Bimini is doing very well for themselves with their brand deals and modeling. If the prize was $100k like it was for the US, I bet Bimini would have won.
Very true but I think now, the fans would be a lot more inclined to watch a series starring Bimini tbh
Exactly. They're not choosing a winner of drag race; they're choosing the host of a WoW show. There's a much clearer picture for what a comedic Scottish big girl would do than an unpredictably funny, fashionable "bimbo"
So you’re discrediting Lawrence talent? And hard work throughout the season? Disgusting
Lawrence has said in a few interviews pre final that she wants to go into TV and presenting, she was prime for the win in the context of who WOW want on their platform. Also Bimini is very politically outspoken, i feel like she'd be too much of a flight risk (in the best possible way) for the crown. WOW want dragrace stans to win cause they know they'll never speak badly of the way WOW sometimes conduct things.
@@angelpup842 that could be one of the reasons, thanks for bringing my attention to that!
Tia kofi for all stars
She just needed better runways and she could slay. She’s funny, smart, witty, and beautiful
I think she's funny in an aww she's awkward and honest sort of way, not in a sharp wit way, which I think you kinda need for roasts and snatch game. I think Tia's eye for fashion is just really weak. When you compare a queen like Bimini to Tia for example you can clearly see the difference in taste level, where Bimini draws inspiration for example; she's got passion for her looks. It's like "oh an ice-cream that will be cute and fun" or "right, let's take a look at a victorian take on the swimwear and turn it into this beautiful lace gown, including bonet and parasol. A play on beauty, timeless high fashion and camp." Tia is so lovable and beautiful, but unless she changes quite a bit I doubt she'll get near a crown.
@@ZoeBarber I agree w you mostly about her style but I don’t agree about her wit. She was always the one with the smart funny comments, at least that’s how she came off to me. Her talking heads were my fav of all the queens
Exactly! I was laughing my ass off every time she spoke!
@@ZoeBarber No way. Tia had some of the sharpest most clever comments. Tamera Boutros Boutros Ghali? C'mon. That's incredibly witty.
@@daveliamjohnston I do agree with you and Camille, she's definitely very charismatic and she's had her funny moments, but on the whole if I compare her to the comedic talents like Ginger, Ben De La, Katya, Bianca, Bob etc, she's just not on the same level to me. I saw her Snatch game, it could've been a bad day, but yeah it's not up there for me just yet.
"I don´t know why they decided to drag Ellie in the competition"
The producers literally lost one of their major storylines with Veronica and had to rely on the Scotland vs London storyline since it was obvious the London queens and Lawrence would go far since Sister Sister was basically buying time
yeah. they really wanted an underdog story, which Tia originally had. but that was ended when her and A'Whora ended up getting along.
So they had to find a new underdog, Which was veronica, as she was sort of building that from episode two. I think it's also why she had that mini tantrum in episode four.
The fact they kept calling Tayce a London Queen when she's Welsh was super strange
@@MoreThingsInHeavenAndEarth Tayce is Welsh, but she is based in London (where she also debuted) + that's where she knows A'Whora, Asttina and Bimini from.
@@MoreThingsInHeavenAndEarth yeah but she’s based in London and identifies/relates as a London Queen obviously. It’s not so hard to get when you’ve watched the show or looked her up.
Honestly, they dragged Tayce to the finale more than Ellie.
Pretty sure that Ellie Diamond got dragged to the finish bc in Ru’s mind she legitimises his show bc she presents the American style of drag that RuPaul promotes and perpetuates which is a/the reason Ellie was saved
that’s such an interesting take! especially given how often they seem to mention ellie being a younger queen who’s grown up with drag race, and utilises it as a key inspiration of hers. and her mug, which i think is the stronger thing going for her, is also so representative of the ‘newer’ generation of drag, born from drag race fans.
Yep. Ellie is very 'insta drag' and quite unlike the typical drag you would previously have seen in the UK and especially Scotland which relies a lot on humour. I think Ellie is extremely talented, but she was such a new queen and I think she will truly be a force to be reckoned with in about 2 - 3 years.
Ellie definitely subscribes to a type of drag that Ru is definitely more familiar with than the rest of the cast. Lawrence may only be two years older than her but it's clear that Ellie's drag is far more influenced by Drag Race than anyone else.
This is actually so interesting to me. Cuz I for one actually really liked Ellie and yet I really couldn't understand why she was being pushed so hard, she was someone I was rooting for early on (cuz she was the only one I knew before the season). Like I thought that she deserved to make it to the second half of the season (even though quite a few ppl disagreed ) but she should've at the very least be eliminated in the Stand Up episode. I think that's why Veronica was also pushed in a way? Like she's talented as fuck don't get me wrong but some of her undeserved placements could be cuz of the same reason, while those that were very un-American like Joe Black or A'Whora or even early season Bimini were held back
period, it's so obvious
The Scottish representation is important because a lot of UK representation is England-centric, specifically South England. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are almost always pushed aside despite being just as involved in the UK as England
this is why the rumours of UK S3 being so london centric is so disheartening
Yeah, as a Scot I am kind of surprised that this was remarked on in the video as weird or unexpected? Scotland has a pretty vibrant drag scene, and none of the queens in S1 were Scottish. Scotland also has a very distinctive culture and is a unique country WITHIN the UK, so yes I'd say it makes sense that Scottish drag gets represented and explained.
@@lauracraig8110 I doubt this channel understands that. The concept of the UK being consisted of distinct countries unlike the US seemed to have gone over their head.
@@lauracraig8110 Which is weird considering that people complain that the U.S. Drag Race is too New York-centric even though the rest of the country has just as cool and unique drag scenes. As an American, I easily picked up the Scotland/England issue when watching UK. But I guess that wasn't so obvious to all American viewers(?).
@@lauracraig8110 not from the UK but especially after how weirdly English & royalist season 1 was I thought a winner like Lawrence was the exact direction the show needed to go in
People seem to forget that alongside Bimini, Lawrence was the most consistent queen throughout the series. In all but like 3 episodes when Lawrence didn't win, she was in the second place spot with someone else (mainly Bimini) narrowly edging them out for the win
The Scottish Drag thing is very very important because it’s a whole country that wasn’t represented in the season despite calling it drag race UK. The dominance of English queens is pretty annoying when you’re scottish if you’re going to call it UK Drag Race... then please have a mix of queens. Otherwise you could just call it Drag Race England
I can sort of empathise with that but at the same time sometimes it feels like Scottish people always feel like they’re being victimised for no reason. You don’t see Welsh people complaining that Ru didn’t like tayce or that we needed a Welsh winner. We also have to remember that Scotland has a population smaller than London alone, so of course they’re going to be less represented. Isay this as a Scot myself and sometimes I’m embarrassed seeing Scottish people be so high-and-mighty over English and American people. See many comments in this comments section for examples.
The whole of the UK is important, representation from England would naturally be higher as the population is almost 10 times that of Scotland’s. I think some people are tired of this overarching theme that Scotland is somehow dictated to by England when it’s not. Not every season will be the same, for example no Northern Irish queens this season.
@@lukegillespie242 nobody’s saying we particularly needed a Scottish winner, but Lawrence is extremely talented and showed that all season. If you actually look around, the Welsh are calling for more Welsh queens and representation, because most people outside the UK don’t realise that Wales is A) a real country and B) not a part of England
I couldn't agree more, i didn't watch the first season because of this and i call it drag race England.
Season 3 is litterally drag race england. The diversity is as big as a flock of seagulls
I think the reason why Ellie Diamond was kept this long had to do with her mug. They said numerous times that it is so unique and even Raven said that it is nothing she saw before. I bet they hoped that the way she did her makeup would become mainstream in a way Trixie, Kim Chi and Raven did
Ellie is actually hilarious, they just didn’t air that part of her personality.
@@Sue-pn7mq uh huh... so the queens just said he wasn't funny for no reason
i have a theory that because Blu Hydrangea had such a great reception on S1 they wanted to push a younger makeup queen to the finale, but, though she's very talented, competition wise ellie really didn't stick out once.
@@camillee8436 Yeah I feel like they saw what they missed out by just paying dust to Blu so they hoped they could redo it with Ellie. Hopefully they pay proper respect to Blu on all stars
I was heartbroken by the Loss of cherry, she did not deserve that bottom two placement
I think the bottom 2 for that episode was bs for shore. Like neither of them were the worst, and cherry. Diddnt rlly do good lol, but I honestly thought that tayce did great, bttm 2 should’ve been sister and ellie
@@davidalex469 that part. Also Ellie and Lawrence should be in the bottom since ellie flopped some words and lawrence was the worst in the choreo. But i guess they need to be dragged to the finale!
@@davidalex469 sister/Lawrence both had a vocally worse and honestly (especially sister) less memorable performance than cherry. and ellie did EVERYTHING that tayce was ripped to shreds for except worse... the bottom 2 just made no sense
Cherry was robbed. Michelle pointed out how she looked unsure of herself during the Rusical when it was literally part of her act. Ellie messed up her lines in the performance but was saved and Cherry was thrown into the bottom for literally no reason. She's so talented and kind, it was so upsetting to see her get eliminated when she shouldn't have been in the bottom in the first place. Her runyways for the other categories were INSANE and would've knocked all the other girls out of the park. Regardless of how talented you're, if you aren't giving production anything to work with storyline-wise, you're disposable. I get that it's a reality show at the end of the day, but it's so frustrating to see amazing artists get pushed aside because they're not giving us drama or some overproduced character arc.
Yes I totally agree, watching that episode I swear the edited to be like Cherry is not doing well but if you isolate that moment she’s doing fine and they talk about how she looked unsure, I don’t think so... and Ellie did terrible, I was waiting for them to critique her for awkwardly standing there and just having no presence when she wasn’t the focus. But they went in on Tayce... and didn’t say a thing.
Lawrence said in a UA-cam video that Cherry, sister, and himself forgot their words in the first take of the rusical
Definitely, if she had stayed Cherry probably would have ate the runways. Unfortunately, she was quite a non-entity with no storyline, so production basically had an excuse to get rid of her and no one would really mind
honestly cherry and tayce as the bottom 2 for that episode made absolutely 0 sense. Out of the rat pack cherry had the best vocals and honestly stood out, lawrence had comedy but vocally she was weak and sister was really unmemorable, and the judges critiques completely ignored her better performance. Out of ellie and tayce, tayce had the better verse and it was easier to understand though that was supposedly the reason she was bottom 2?? and to top it off ellie was HIGH over literally everyone else (mainly awhora and bimini who gave really strong performances)
@@camillee8436 definitely, neither Cherry nor Tayce should have been bottom 2 here. Lawrence should have been there, and I would actually say A’Whora too because I personally thought her performance was really unmemorable compared to Bimini. Sister might not have been the best in the rusical but I thought her runway was one of the best of the episode, whereas Lawrence’s just didn’t work and I can’t even remember what A’Whora’s was.
Joe literally just got eliminated for the gag and the stereotype that the old kween that isn’t suited to drag race!!
Which is funny cuz Joe is younger than like 3 of the other queens
@@davidwilliamklak honestly, I can’t wait for Uk all stars because I really wanted to see more of Joe
Maybe the first time.... second time? abysmal performance.
@@MrMissplaced we know it he was the worst performer but he was still rigged against. The H&M rant in the same season a queen wins the first challenge in an ASOS jacket?!
@@Jamieswiftie13 the problem wasnt where the dress was from, it was the fact that the dress was JUST an h&m dress. there was no attempt to style the dress to the point where it looks couture.
I always laugh when people say they were shocked that Lawrence won. He was Ru's favourite from the start.
I kinda knew that Lawrence would win if he made it to top 4 when ru said she loves Laurence cheney really early on
This season was the pinnacle of the riggory, but yet it is probably in my top 3 favourite seasons in drag race history. I cannot express how much fun i had, how many times i was confused, how many times i laughed my a.s off. Le gen da ry. And the queens themselves...god. it was fantastic
I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard while watching a season of Drag Race. It gave me such joy.
This season was so good! One of the best seasons ever!
Twas so good till the comedy challenge 💀 I hate the forced drama Lawrence made, its something 😭 that's when i stopped rooting for her. But oh well It doesn't matter now
It’s the Tayce erasure for me! This video reminded me how much production and the judges completely overlooked her throughout the latter of the competition. At least she is getting sponsors and exciting projects post show!
I mean at least she made it to the last final 3. But yes i feel like she should have been safe way more times.
Let's not forget that she was our confessional queen and her message to younger Tayce was everything.
Yes! Michelle even said twice on two different episodes that “I DIDN’T THINK YOU’RE GONNA DO GOOD!” like gurl, that wasnt even a compliment. And michelle said it TWO TIMES. that’s why i felt for tayce when she said she felt constantly overlooked.
If it really was lip synch for the crown in the final episode she would have won, hands down.
Now we need to see her as a lip synch assassin for All Stars!
I think the top 3 have done well. Some of the most successful queens are not the ones who won.
which goes to show you that even if Rupaul dismisses you, your talent will show through and you will get work outside of drag race, i watch drag race to see new queens and their talent, but i'm so over the "judging", just look what happened last week in Down under Rupaul sent home one of the most exciting queens (at least for me) i wanted to see more from Art
Reminder to not send hate to Ellie because she received favouritism, it wasn't her fault and she doesn't deserve any hate, also drink water 🤸
Exactly 👏 Or Lawrence for winning!
Ellie is actually funny, they didn’t give her a favorable edit, they didn’t show much of her personality at all.
Amen!!
ellie is literally one of the most talented and hardworking queens in the whole cast
absolutly, the slander of Ellie (and Lawrence) is not on, Ellie is a hardworking and talented queen, who worked for McDonalds full time before Drag Race and still managed to get her drag that polished, at only 21 and after doing drag for 3 years, she is also one of the lovliest queens i've met, she just gets done so dirty by the fandom
The first comment left a bit of bad taste in my mouth honestly, i agree that this season's judging was highly sus, but don't you think saying that lawrance chaney was "dragged to the finale" was a bit much? I was on the camp that truly believed bimini was going to win, but it was pretty obvious that lawrance was definitely a top contender, even though her performance in the second half was not as good as the first half. She deserved to be in that finale, not dragged there
Thanks for saying it
took the words out my mouth
Lawrence was a strong contender but honestly after her "Beastenders" performance when she couldn't remember her lines at all, I was surprised that she didn't go home. At that point in the game a mistake like that would have gotten any other queen eliminated.
I agree with that and I think Ellie and Sister are really funny, I think their placement is deserved.
@@SkyeColonna i mean not really, they have done this trope of showing a queen failing in rehearsals only for us to find out she gave a really good performance in the end, time and time again. They did the exact same thing to symone just last week in the US drag race. So we already know this is no reason to send a queen home
Ok but don’t say Lawrence was dragged to the finale. Lawrence earned their spot in the top 4.
^^
thank you
Seriously!
he made it so clear he’s a bimini stan cause he dragged lawrence the entire time and praised bimini the entire time. i mean yeah lawrence did flop sometimes but lawrence definitely wasn’t obviously favored.
@@CharlieCAndGeorgeC right? Lawrence was actually less favored than Bimini. Bimini should’ve been on the bottom for the supersheros episode. That outfit was not good, where as Lawrence had a well constructed outfit and was still put in the bottom.
Representation of Scotland is important because the UK is made up of 4 countries each with their own unique culture and heritage, but most people only think of England when they think of the UK. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland already struggle with representation within the UK because Westminster doesn’t listen to us and focuses on England, particularly the south east. It’s so important to have queens from each country in the UK and the first season was so England centric it was a joke. The UK is more than just England and London and we have the right to be fairly represented.
and Northern England
@@owenhopkins6976 northern England is not yet a country in it’s own right, I was specifically talking about the four countries that make up the UK.
👏🏻👏🏻
@@MusicGal672 I uh... don't think they were saying northern england was a country. They were saying we are underrepresented, which we are.
@@Hatohime that’s cute, if you think you’re underrepresented try being from our countries. Cauz you get a 💩 ton more representation.
lawrence was not “dragged” to the finale. i thought that bimini should’ve won but lawrence was also a contender.
Yeah I was like that’s a little rude. He made it there fair and square. Ellie however...
I was honestly expecting Bimini to win but was just as happy with Lawrence. They were the only real contenders for the crown (Tayce deserved better) and both had something unique to add to the franchise.
@@bryan-rl9hd how, i mean even in this video he says the producers wanted to give lawrence a win as early as possible, if that was true, they wouldve given episode one to lawrence because it wouldve been reasonably plausible
@@bryan-rl9hd where? What challenge could she have been in the bottom 2 for? Snatch Game? And she slayed the lipsync
@@bryan-rl9hd that part
Ellie actually did well in Snatch Game...you need to have watched the show and character she played. We in Britain grew up on that show basically, and she portrayed it very well and was hilarious. She was in character just as much as Tayce was, if not more - but yeah, Ellie’s look that week was not great
It's completely unfair to have Ru Paul judge UK snatch game, American humour and culture is a world away from British.
Idk I grew up watching and loving little Britain and I still thought she was pretty shit? She did look the part just wasn’t funny
@@jimmythefeeder2036 you’re the first person I’ve come across to think that! We all have our opinions though! I personally thought she was hysterical but that’s my opinion
I don’t think Lawerence was dragged to the finale I thought she backed everything up with her talent and made it to the end with a deserved win love our Scottish queen 👑
Preach
Agreed!! I was rooting for Bimini to win, personally, but I love Lawrence too and her win was 100% deserved. They were an incredibly strong top 2.
the amount of lawerence slander after she won over bimini is ridiculous
I loved that a Scottish Queen won but Bimini was just sooo good. Tbh by the end more my my cup of tea. They're all so good tbf
justified imo
I don't agree that Lawrence was 'dragged' to the end of the season ... sure Lawrence was perhaps a favourite of Ru's, but they're a great competitor for the game that is Drag Race and overall a fab personality
I'd even go to say that Lawrence is a better winner than The Viviene. Not competitively, but as a brand ambassador for Drag Race UK. Lawrence has a clear point of view of what she wants to convey with her win as both a Scot and plus size queen.
@@metacircumstance9891 now that’s a reach gurl HAHAHAHAHAHA
@@metacircumstance9891 I think Lawrence and the Vivienne are actually very similar in that neither of them should have won.
Girl you do NOT like Lawrence 😂
so saying a queen with a better track record, and so much better score in the competition should have won, and pointing out when judges favor a queen, means you DO NOT LIKE said queen?? Girl, get a life.
@@redduskironsky1058 Wow someone is triggeerreeeddd.
@@redduskironsky1058 They said Lawrence was dragged to the finale. Absolutely deserved to be there, so yeah, it shows some dislike.
I love that Ginny lemon is wearing crocs in the promo pic 😂
i fully thought awhora would be in the top 2... then when they put her in the btm3 in snatch game i kinda realised that wasn’t happening
The bttm 3 for snatch game, like, AWHORA DID GREAT IN THE SNATCH GAME smh
@@davidalex469 I KNOW OMG i thought she could win like tf
@@george8374 EXACTLY smh
They apparently didn’t even air her best moment, she might have won if they’d have aired her actual best if this even wasn’t it.
They down played her a few times. But the snatch game was b.s. Lawrence and Tia were clearly bottom 2 with sister and Ellie as safe and A'Whora and Tayce as high with Bimini winning
“I don’t want this to sound like me crapping on Lawrence” 😂😂😂😂 this whole video is 20 minutes of you crapping on Lawrence! Hun, get a grip.
Also, your favouritism is more obvious when you didn't talk about Lawrence being low over Bimini in episode 7(the sheroes thing). I think you should be less biased and more open minded if you're doing videos like this
Or...you know...u could not watch the video. It's their channel they can say whatever tf they want
@@Meandsushiroll of course I could choose not to watch the video. But as a subscriber of this channel, I am not a patron and so views and likes are the only ways I can support the channel.
I think it's only right to give out constructive criticism to help improve the channel. There is a reason I didn't just lash out my opinion but I tried to point out some glaringly obvious questionable things I saw in the video. I'm not giving my opinion on the matter but making a contribution. If Drag detective is going to make a video about riggory, I think it's only right to point it out when he is doing the same thing he is supposed to be correcting in the video.
@@asareirene ooof ur really bothered aren't you? Its okay love, it's not that serious. But lol like u sure did make ur opinion known, literally your comment was an opinion. This video was about their opinion, their point of view. No need to get mad
@@Meandsushiroll Huh? Am I bothered? No. I probably was after watching the video. Am I mad, no. This is not something to be mad about. I was not bothered because I was taking things seriously. I was bothered because I thought it was quite hypocritical. Like I said, I was trying to point out something I noticed from the video. And it's something 27 other people agree with. Drag detective is not obliged to read my message or take my comment seriously. He can choose to ignore it. I honestly don't care. All I cared about was making sure that I said what was on my mind as respectfully as I could and I think I did that. I honestly don't know what you are trying to say to me with your comments but do what pleases you I guess. And I will do what pleases me 🤷♂️🤗🍃
@@asareirene that other person is just a troll. I agree with your opinion-drag detective let his personal biases inform his opinion, and it’s not a fair way to present these videos. Constructive criticism should always be appreciated.
Joe Black going home first put me in a bad mood for at least a week... Yeah, I really let reality tv become my life during the pandemic
I stopped watching after joe was eliminated
Could u all just stop discrediting Lawrence's win??
Legit before the final came out, the majority of people were like- "I'll be happy if either Bimini or Lawrence wins"
*Lawrence wins*
Everyone- "rigged!, Bimini was robbed, undeserved, she only won cause Ru likes her, Justice for Bimini"
Like wtf? Don't you think she's sick of hearing this by now? Just let her enjoy this moment and stop making her feel like shit.
“They jumped at the first opportunity to give Lawrence a win”
Now that’s just wrong, Lawrence clearly did the best that challenge
@@Will-db4qo You are just incorrect
@@Hatohime Yeah ur right i was so fucking delusional
Honestly, the only rigging I noticed in this season was Ellie Diamond, I did not see Lawrence getting dragged to the finale. Are we watching the same show?! Lol also, I think Bimini was plopped into Veronica’s front runner spot. Bimini didn’t win anything until after the break.
I get that definitely as someone who was excited for Veronica's trajectory. Beast Enders is a bit debatable but I'm pretty sure all her others were earned, or at least appear so.
But Bimini was already gaining momentum after the first episode. She was safe in episode 2, and high in the next episodes before the break.
I don’t agree with that. Ellie’s edit wasn’t as favorable as it could have been, so people were against her staying. She’s really funny and bubbly, they didn’t show any of that. I watch people’s IG accounts and interviews to find out what they’re actually like. Sister is also really funny and has an amazing dry sense of humor, plus her live performances are being praised everywhere, nothing was shown of that. They can’t give everyone the same amount of air time unfortunately.
@@metacircumstance9891 not really, they still had issues with her taste level after the first episode.
They need to actually give cash prizes to these girls. It's ridiculous that they are expected to live up to US standards with NO MONEY PRIZES
Its on BBC which is like USA PBS. It is funded by the people, so they can't. If another network takes it, then sure.
How was Lawrence dragged to the finale?!
I was wondering the same, Lawrence confessionals were hella funny tho
I'm going to choose violence and say that I wasn't completely sold on Veronica's Medusa/Pig
That's homophobic ^
Me neither. Loved the dress and the hair but everything else was... a choice
That's an hate crime
Girl bye. Lawrence was not dragged to the finale. Literally discrediting everything she accomplished. I agree things weren’t fair, but Lawrence still did really well. Way too much shade towards Lawrence for my taste.
You can’t shade Lawrence literally the entire video just to go back at the very end and praise her for thirty seconds.
Seeing that nobody voted for Cherry to come back after the covid break..... Just broke my heart.
It's probably bc of how obvious the riggery of Joe's elimination was, and the fact that it was in the very first episode
I really think they planned on having Lawrence winning from the beginning. I don't understand why they don't just let them go and see how it goes. Ugh
Okay but Lawrence is incredibly talented and a phenomenal person and entertainer.
I think Bimini should’ve won 100%, but to say the producers “dragged Lawrence” to the finale is low key kind of bullshit and insulting to Lawrence.
Last comment lol. Tia is literally made for All Stars. She is funny, clever, creative and likeable. Her weakness was her wardrobe, but her exposure will introduce her to designers, and she could come in and slay all stars with some designers backing her
Tia was one of my favourite queens, she’s soooooo precious. And I LIVED for her finale look it suited her so well and was just so her. THE 👏🏾 GIRL 👏🏾 HAS 👏🏾 CHARISMA 👏🏾
"How Lawrence Changed was dragged to the finale" huh??? Dragged where? The one bad performance she had.... She lipsynced. Bimini looks a mess in her lockdown hero look and is in the top when Lawrence's was better but somehow in the bottom 3.
Like we get it fam, you wanted Bimini to win. No need to drag Lawrence for no reason.
Thank you!! I loved Lawrence Chaney and she totally deserved the win. I normally love this guy’s analysis, but he lets his personal favoritism get in the way too much.
He said that it was Ellie who was dragged to the finale. I didnt hear anything about Lawrence being dragged -.-
@@decemberdowell3779 you even watch the video? He literally says it at the start of the video twice in 2 minutes
@@Jhawk2711 Where does he say they dragged Lawrence. I heard at the beginning lawrence and ellie were favored a lot which I agree with(mostly with Ellie)
@@decemberdowell3779 0:27 - With Lawrence Chaney and Ellie Diamond being dragged to the finale. It is quite literally like the 5th sentence in the video
2:10 Then again. He doesn't say they were dragged to the end again but he Definitely implied it.
i love Cherry Valentine and wish she got more airtime, anyone keeping up with her after the show airing knows how incredibly talented she is and how incredible her content is ♥️ she’s a stellar queen
Imo Awhora didn't win Morning Glory because her runway was her just looking pretty again according to the storyline
Baby you are being a little to harsh, i mean Lawrence definitely deserve all all her wins, and Ellie deserve a couple of her high placements, also you dind't call out that in the supershero challenge Lawrence shuld have been high and Bimini low
My hot take that I'll tel to anyone who listens is: RuPaul should not be the main judge on DR-UK. UK drag is so different to US drag and Ru just does not have the cultural context to be an effective judge. The biggest example is telling Ginny Lemon she should be more 'sexy' when that clearly isn't her style and obvi makes her uncomfortable.
Personally I kinda like it. I'm always happy when I see people (Americans especially) being interested in our cultures and I think Michaelle specifically has a genuine interest and love for the UK which I appreciate. Also I think having Graham and Allan on the Panel really helps evens it out so that there is points of views from both sides of the pond~
@@won2woourgirlsvt64 Michelle has taken the time to actually educate herself and get involved in the culture and is able to recognise those finer points. I really like that DR-Canada is judged by a Canadian panel, not Ru.
With Ru having the final say you don't get a proper assessment.
Lawrence deserved it. None of y'all would be so salty if she wasn't a big girl.
SPEAK. THE. TRUTH. SIS 🛐
“I’m not sure exactly why getting such strong representation for Scotland”
Yeh ... as a Scot I don’t feel I need to see this video
Can we all agree sister sister was worse than Joe in ep 1?
honestly joe was one of the best, quite a lot of the queens weren't as good as her
And Tia! Her “Alan Turing” look was just... awful. Love her but that look didn’t say Turing at all.
Honestly, with all my love for Tia, i think the bottom 2 at 1st episode was definitely tia and sister sister. Like, come on, even if joe's clothes were not responding to the theme on the eye (which they were), they were overall really well constructed and fashionable clothes, even for that she should have been safe
I honestly think Bimini slayed that first episode and only got put in the bottom for a piece of tape.
What did sister sister even wear I can’t remember hahaha I remember Joe’s though...
Why did you say Lawrence was dragged to the finale. I wanted Bimini to win so bad but when Lawrence won I understood why. Please don’t say a deserving and talented performer didn’t deserve their finale position.
Yeah I normally agree with a lot of what he says, but I thought he was disrespectful to Lawrence by saying that.
“I’m not sure why it was so important to get strong representation for Scotland this season” likely because they’re the only country of the 4 in the UK that weren’t represented previously. There’s no reason that all 4 nationalities can’t be represented each season but we still haven’t had a Wales based queen so who knows. I’m still waiting for someone from Cardiff, we have some great queens.
Tayce is from Newport... did you somehow miss that she’s Welsh?
@@MusicGal672 but she’s based in London. I love that she’s welsh, but we haven’t had anyone represent from Cardiff which is where Welsh drag is 🤷🏻♂️
@@garethcousins5008 Welsh drag is all over Wales. I live in Cardiff and I’ve been to plenty of shows in both Newport and Swansea. Just because Tayce lives in London doesn’t stop her being Welsh and representing Wales.
@@MusicGal672 I think you’re reading too much into what I’m saying, I would just like to see a queen who works in Wales on the show. I love Tayce and supported them all season.
Newport and Swansea don’t have the same drag scene, not a read, just a fact. But I’d be JUST as happy to see someone from Swansea or Newport on there too.
I’m sorry if you don’t want our local scene represented I guess.
@@garethcousins5008 it’s not that I don’t want to see our local scene represented, but I think it’s ignorant to say that the Welsh drag scene is exclusive to Cardiff when there’s fantastic drag queens up and down the country. To say that you specifically want a Cardiff queen is ignorant and insulting to any Welsh drag queen outside of Cardiff.
Lawrence deserved the talk show win 100%. Drag race fans have always been mad when runways aren’t taken into consideration when giving out wins but of course it becomes a problem when lawrence was overall better than awhora when it came to the challenge + the runway. Y'all just don’t like poc and big queens 💀
100%. I was team Bimini and loved A'Whora's performance that week but Lawrence won that challenge fair and square, as well as having a truly incredible runway look.
To me it was a toss up between the top three, I think they all performed about equally well and any could’ve taken the win
yeah lawrence was a favourite of ru and it was obvious but people act like the season wasn’t rigged for bimini in the end as well lmao. she didn’t do the best in beastenders, tayce and lawrence did, and bimini should’ve been in lawrence’s place for the second design challenge.
also the whole “lawrence struggled” thing isn’t true. like i said, bimini should’ve been low for the second design challenge w lawrence safe and the only other challenge she struggled with was snatch game. she was high for the other challenges lol.
I will say, I'm glad Ellie did go far - I think part of the reason was bc of her talent (she looked incredible most episodes) but I also think they wanted her to go far to have almost a Chi Chi DeVayne moment (rip) of being able to quit her job and be a full-time drag queen - which would only happen if she stayed on the show for longer. That's just my take on it though.
I can’t wait for riggery of Season 13....favoritism of Gottmik, Kandy and a bit of Symone and the mistreatment of Tamisha, Denali and Utica.
can't wait for comments on Gottmik vs. Utica storyline since the very first episode too lol
If there was no riggery for Bimini... Then please explain to me why she got good critiques when she wore a shower curtain and explained it with "ähm... Vivienne Westwood!".
Lawrence being in low in that was just wrong. The rise of Bimini was epic but she would have kept on slaying, she should have taken Lawrence's placement.
Because she kept it in her style and explained the inspo clearly and correctly that’s why she got positive critiques. Plus Lawrence, Tayce, and Sister sucked. Lawrence’s fans are for sure going to defend that Lawrence made an aMaZinG garment but honey, it’s just a bodysuit with an orange duster.
@@plc9359 Lawrence did the same. It was her style and on brand not to mention polished and finished. It's so funny how you're calling people out for having a favourite but then saying that people "suck" in the same breath.
@@Max-oi4it lawrence’s brand? A bodysuit? I dont think. Plus how did Lawrence did the SAME? she does not have an inspo or a concept. Oh, but she has personality! A good host for a wow presents show that nobody will gonna watch LOL
@@plc9359 You say that like Bimini didn’t just wrap a sheet around her body. At least Lawrence put construction into her outfit. Just say you don’t like Lawrence and move on babes.
I don’t think Lawrence was overly favoured. Like there was favouritism here and there, but Lawrence was still an amazing competitor and did really good in almost every challenge. Ellie on the other hand....
I loved that you explained the story behind it because I didn't understand alot of these choices but it makes sense the way you explain it
this entire video you undermined Lawrences win. she completely deserved to be top 3 and you saying she was "dragged" to the finale is incorrect. She slayed the first half of the season as hard as Bimini slayed the second. But that's just my opinion and I really do enjoy your content.
ps: Lawrence won morning glory because of her runway look, which was a big factor in the wins this season.
I feel like the most robbed person was the viewers for not getting to see more of Joe's fashion and performance, that seaside look was the best on the season.
The real riggory is that the UK Queens get nothing for winning other then an inanimbled pin that ya can buy for like 15 quid online.
When a front runner is in the bottom 2 it will always be agasint somone who has been in the bottom a bunch of times, take this season with Symone or Vivenne from UK 1.
If No covid happened, Who would Veronica take place in the top 4 and would there be any difference.
Bring Back TIA
The way the BBC is run and funded makes it next to impossible to give out major prizes. Since it's publicly funded cash prizes are hard to justify; the BBC also doesn't allow sponsorships on their programs. It's why you mainly see big money game shows on other channels. Also, why Ru and Michelle aren't plugging something every 15 seconds. Which tbh makes a nice change.
the way you didn’t call out biminis favouritism for being the high placement during the lockdown superhero challenge while having a sloppy look and didn’t mention how lawrence didn’t deserve the low placement just shows your bias in this video against lawrence lmao. this whole video is just shitting on lawrence pls
YESSSSS, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT
that’s exactly what i thought the amount of people sh*tting on lawrence because she beat their fave is unnecessary
What's new? Bimini stans keep proving why they aren't worthy of their fave.
I think that their placements are justified? I mean Lawrence was in a bodysuit. Come on.
@@plc9359 but if she made a dress everyone would attack her saying she only wears the same silhouette...i love bimini but her look was not cute at all, naomi smalls said it best on bob the drag queens review she said something like “uk queens will put together a sloppy look that’s falling apart and call it vivienne westwood inspired and everyone will eat it up”
I think Lawrence deserved every position and in fact deserved Bimini placement for the sheros challenge, I think its a bit over the top to say that Lawrence was favorited, and also Lawrence never fizzled out or failed to impress, she just didn't win after Ruruvision, and she would've won the Eastbenders and The Comedy challenge if Bimini wasn't competing. This isn't hate this is my opinion, and I hope we can have a conversation about our opinions
this is basically just a bimini stan attacking lawrence and devaluing her win for 20 minutes lmao
Totally agree
say it louder
What's new, this has been happening since she won. Literally bimini only had one more win, and I love this channel but he hasn't been invalidating yvies win, sheas win, jaidas win, sashas win, or the Viviens win just to name a few. I don't get why people have been invalidating Lawrence's talent and win, rather than just being happy for her.
I hate those Bimini stans because as an actual Bimini fan (who doesnt give hate to queens) they give us a bad rep 🙄 Lawrence deserved her win
@@balladeer9384 Thing is, those queens you mentioned were either perceived to kill it in the finale (Sasha/Viv/Monet), had huge momentum going into the finale (Yvie's standout Rumix), or had overwhelming fan support (Shea) by the time the crowning aired (emphasis on *perceived* here). They all had at least two of those three. Laurence arguably didn't have any (which is absolutely not her fault at all; she could have joint or even solo won the prior acting challenge or been given a better edit during the stand-up--A'whora mentioned in an interview that Laurence's set was better than what was shown in the episode...). For whatever reason, production decided to give her no momentum (instead, a huge focus on her edit being angry at Ellie over something silly... why?) but planned to crown her anyway. Her entire edit in the second half of the season was mishandled and that's why her win was a lot more divisive than it should have been.
Even the judges gave her negative critiques for her performance in the finale (even if it was intended to be endearing?). Odd choices overall.
I think this is what the video should have focused a lot more on. It's not that Laurence didn't deserve to win, but failures in production choices almost made it *seem* like she didn't. That's a huge problem and it hasn't been this bad in a season before.
In the end they had many good reasons to crown her. First plus-sized winner, opportunity for a Scottish winner (which they may not have for a looong time... S3 has only English queens last I checked), Laurence openly not wanting to ever do all-stars while Bimini is the opposite, Laurence being better suited for the prize etc etc... Her win makes complete sense. It was production that was shoddy; Laurence herself was *not* the problem.
Personally this is why I wanted a double crowning. I think that Bimini may have struggled without Covid. It wouldn’t have been as satisfying but I would’ve preferred it.
the united kingdolls should've been top 4 there's no room for debate idc
Some opinions: Ellie was safe in snatch game not high
Bimini was low in ep7 and Lawrence was safe
Lawrence wasn’t the worst in the finale
Bimini was called safe before Lawrence. So, the true placements for that episode (even tho I don’t agree) are: Bimini - safe; Lawrence - Low. Lawrence stood there with the bottom 2 queens and Bimini was called safe before Lawrence
@@hereismartins if u judge it by critiques which I did, Lawrence is safe and Bimini is low
@@ewanxo But the critiques don’t change anything, I agree that Bimini should be low, but she was safe and Lawrence was on the bottom 3 that stood on the stage. We have to go by what rupaul said and she said safe to Bimini and put Lawrence in the bottom 3
@@ewanxo so you prefer a bodysuit over a gown? Go off utica stan.
@@plc9359 lmao lemme say some things, I’m not a Utica Stan, but I liked her promo so it’s my pfp. Lawrence’s outfit was more well constructed and fit the theme of super sheroes.
I think big problem in UK seasons are RuPaul and Michelle Visage. They really should get rid of them as judges in UK versions. They don't understand the local drag culture or generally UK culture and wider European culture (eventhough Michelle thinks she understands them very well). Ru doesn't even understand what the contestants say, so how could she be proper judge for this show? I'm sure the producers are toning down some cultural challenges so that the judges can understand them better. BeastEnders was surprisingly on point but the RuRuvision challenge lacked lot of possible Eurovision references (and why the lipsync wasn't Eurovision song??)
I'm afraid of Drag Race Down Under with Michelle being judge there too. I'm happy she was only visiting in Canada.
this may be a stretch but riggory for the scottish queens may have something to do with increasing support for scottish independence from the uk - it is in the bbc’s interest that the uk remains united and so will try to garner support from scottish fans
Only for Lawrence to talk about Scottish Independence the second the crown was placed on her head 😂😂😂
@@metacircumstance9891 she truly is a queen of the people hfdkjh
American reality TV shows are more staged and forced where as English ones are more genuine and organic, there's a reason people love RPDR UK better. The producers are still acting like the contestants are American queens and are trying to manufacture drama/storylines and who they want to go home. Put people in a room together and drama creates itself, you don't have to force it. This is why the American version is becoming harder to watch
Veronica’s runway was the best on the runway so they saved her. The runways really mattered this season and you don’t seem to take it into account.
Also, these videos do tend to get the Queens directed hate going.
These Drag Race analysers keep forgetting to check their own biases and wind up looking like clowns.
Veronica’s Pig Medusa was my favourite look of the entire season so that clearly saved her from the Bottom
@@metacircumstance9891 yes. Also the bias is through American eyes. BRITISH culture is much different in terms of the kind of drag queens who historically do well. Lawrence represented the kind of camp entertainer that is loved in the UK.
If you are not going to take into account the runway as to why queens are safe then why have runways? We all know production gets involved to to call a season rigged is so dismissive of the show and the queens.
@@mookiepars don't you know that runways are only there to claim when a queen gets "robbed" or is put into the bottom 2 and not a valid factor in who wins the challenge? Honestly, Thailand did it best by having the mini, maxi, and runway as independent challenges so that everyone can get their dues.
@@metacircumstance9891 well there are many instances where the runway has been what saves a contestant or puts them in the bottom. This video discounted all the runways aside from when it was convenient.
I'm surprised that with all your UK helpers none explained to you why Scottish representation in general and on Series 2 was important. I'm honestly disappointed that you spent the entire video degrading Lawrence's wins for no reason only to try and wash your hands in the end.
Lawrence didn't win as many times as Bimini but she deserved all her wins all the same. Her first design look definitely deserved to be in the top and win. You also can't just mention that A'Whora had an entire storyline about not being anything but beautiful only to ignore it to perpetuate the idea that Lawrence robbed her of a win when it came back in full force. A'Whora was phenonemal in Morning Glory but Lawrence's runway was both more true to the brief, and better than A'Whora's.
I had hope thay this channel would be better than Uckey Lee and the toxic veiled racism there but I'm starting to wonder if I was wrong.
Joe Black should never have been in the bottom of the first episode. At all.
I still think about Joe Black's Bowie look. Fucking legend.
I honestly think Sister was robbed. She’s one of my favourites on this season, and she received so many negative critiques which were completely unjustified. Imo, the only bottom 2/3 placement she deserved was in the talk show episode. For me, she was safe in week 1, didn’t deserve critiques (for the challenge) on the ruruvision, for Snatch Game she should have been top 2, and honestly, she shouldn’t have been anywhere near the bottom 2 on the lockdown supersheroes challenge. I thought her look was good, yes it was very busy, but it was well made and had a great concept, which can’t be said for Lawrence or (unfortunately) Bimini. She could have won so many challenges, but like it was said, she was a non-entity on the season, and was basically a safe bet to lose whenever, kind of like Cherry. Basically production just shat on her the entire season, and the queens all came for her, sometimes undeservingly. Also, A’Whora’s attack on her was so unnecessary. Yes she did sort of copy the look, but still at least she had the thought to change it. That altercation made A’Whora my least favourite queen on the season by far.
Thissss
remember that the contestants don’t choose who wins or gets put in the bottom, send each and everyone of them love ❤️
I think this season had a lot in common with DRCanada in that it was sort of fantastic despite itself. Questionable judging, frustrating favoritism, and heavy-handed storylines, but the cast was just so darn talented and lovable that the season was good anyway. I seriously think UK2 is one of the best, strongest casts of any Drag Race franchise, ever.
I still think a main reason that Lawrence won is because the prize is a Wow presents show and they thought Lawrence would make the best web content
From what I understand Joe sold his unused runways to pay for his rent and that's why he wore HM
I loved both UK seasons of drag race but the judging agitated me so much as viewer 😭😭😭😭
I heard that Bimini didn't even change her wardrobe over lockdown too!
Honestly my heart is still aching that cherry valentine went home so early. Like what a look queen that we barely got a chance to see😭😭😭😭😭 #rudemptionforcherry
sister got dumbed aside so much by the producers to the point where people forget her which is so awful. for example, she was in the bottom 3 on the ruruvision episode for what reason? like what? she performed that the best and also had the a better runway than ellie’s so like what? make it make sense drag race😩🤚
I love Sister such an underrated queen.
Lawrence started out strong and still ended strong ( mainly HIGH in most challenges) and YOU made it sound like Lawrence did really bad post covid which is NOT. In the finale 3 lipsync, bimini and tayce all these two did were gymnastics tumbling and half splits while Lawrence was giving emotions plus camp THATS A TRUE LIPSYNC, while all tayce and bimini gave us was " dancing competition to be UK's next best stripper". IDIOTA!!!!
"Lawrence was dragged to the finale"
lawrence could have easily won four challenges if they were really pushing them, so truly idk why u tried to invalidate their win in the first 20 seconds
If the prize was a TV show, why was Tayce not the winner? She made AMAZING television.
she had one group win and four bottom placements... she was not winning no matter what
Maybe it’s just me but I thought Lawrence killed the whole finale and coming out of the final lip sync for the crown, when I first watched the finale I was certain Bimini was winning and I felt like Lawrence was about to be robbed despite IMO the best finale performance
why are ru and michelle even judges in the uk?? they clearly don’t know the culture and it doesn’t make sense why they’re not in canada or thailand but they are in britain?? let some british queens and comedians come judge please lord
Love how you ended this with love and positivity
Scotland as a whole is sort of shunned and used as a guinea pig for the UK, and they do get paid less than the average English person. Also Lawrence was literally the best along side with Tayce in the last performance... Bimini being the worst. Also i'd guess that you'd have to be British to find Ellie's snatch performance good, because I found it funny.
lets be honest its only southern england that the government gives a shit about everywhere else is seen less than and that's coming from a northern Englishman
@@owenhopkins6976 yup I'm a northerner too ahaha
While Ginny's outfit on the 'Who Wore It Best?' episode isn't great, it made me really uncomfortable that Ru told them to be more "sexy" in a conversation where Ginny explicitly states that they are very uncomfortable doing so, especially coupled with Ginny and Bimini's conversation about being non-binary later in that episode and how they express that through their drag style. Even without the explicit non-binary conversation, Ginny had mentioned multiple times before episode 3 that their drag is unconventional to that seen on the show and is relatively gender non-conforming. Part of me wonders what Ginny's runway would've been like without their conversation with RuPaul, as (in my opinion) they had such strong runways the previous two weeks and have a very strong idea of their drag style (I know Ginny's humour and drag doesn't translate for everyone - especially to those outside of the UK - but personally I found her runways great in weeks 1 and 2. They had a lot of personality and represented drag that isn't usually depicted/accepted on the show (which I think is most likely why, in part, they didn't make it very far in the competition).). The theme once again occurs where more subversive Drag Race queens are told to change up their drag to fit into RuPaul's (and the judges, and subsequently the majority of the audience's) idea of what drag is, adhering to heteronormative ideas of femininity. While other queens on the show are sometimes told to be less 'perfect', I don't think this is in the same way that 'unconventional' queens are told to change their drag. Ginny both pre and post Drag Race has said that their drag is punk and anarchic and that they wanted to show their style of drag to an audience who may not have seen it before. However, this didn't really seem like an option from the show as a whole seeing how the show/the producers/RuPaul/the judges reacted to Ginny's drag, especially with RuPaul (the one who is ultimately making the final judging decisions) framing her opinion that a "sexy" drag look from Ginny was preferable for the runway. Apologies for the slight essay - this has been playing on my mind for a while!
Luv ur videos so much king you deserve way more subscribers - luv from the UK hun xD
