Drag Race UK: Jonbers Blonde reflects on “confusing” challenge

Drag Race UK vs the World teases the end of Best Friend’s Race

This season of UK vs the World is currently on track to dethrone season 12 as the ultimate edition of RuPaul’s Best Friend’s Race, with episode two eliciting a lot of laughs and squidgy “aww!” moments between the cast. But, with the final moments teasing some season one-esque shenanigans ala Jimbo and Pangina Heals’ eliminations, how long will it stay, y’know, squidgy? (In the profound words of Katya Zamolodchikova, “I don’t know, I’m not a scientist.”) Following the events of the premiere, which saw Marina Summers defeat La Grande Dame…

Drag Race star Arantxa on UK vs the World exit: ‘Claws are coming out’

Drag Race star Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha discusses her UK vs the World exit, why she had to change her talent show number and finally “feeling comfortable” as a trans woman. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC As the Drag Race UK vs the World contestant whose drag is, according to her sisters, in the most “need”, Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha had one thought when episode two was revealed to be the ball: ‘Well, it’s over.’ This week, the queens served three looks for the ‘Happy Ending…

Drag Race UK vs the World: Was the season 2 premiere a success?

‘Well-received’, ‘critically-acclaimed’ and ‘best ever!’ are not phrases we would associate with the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs the World. With a rushed six episodes, a rather whelming second half and the wildly controversial back-to-back exits of frontrunners Jimbo and Pangina Heals, it’s not often ranked in the upper echelons of Drag Race seasons. (Jimbo’s unhinged introduction of Casper the Baloney Ghost, Jujubee’s so-bad-it’s-bloody-brilliant impersonation of Cher and the runways deserve praise, however.) As a result, fans have been less… enthused, we’ll say, about the follow-up. How…

Hannah Conda was intimidated by one queen in particular on Drag Race UK vs the World. Although the Drag Race Down Under alum says she was most “gagged” to see the return of Tia Kofi and Mayhem Miller, she tells GAY TIMES that she was “petrified” when Marina Summers sashayed into the werkoom. “[Marina is] professionalism and polish.
