Drag Race UK vs the World: All 8 Snatch Game performances, ranked

admin, , , ,

Major spoilers ahead for the fourth episode of Drag Race UK vs the World.  ‘Unhinged’ is the adjective we’d use to describe this week’s edition of Snatch Game – and, to be honest, it’s the adjective we always want to use in reference to Drag Race‘s staple challenge. Rather that than “romper room fuckery”, huh? For their fourth maxi, the eight remaining contestants on UK vs the World season two – Choriza May, Gothy Kendoll, Hannah Conda, Keta Minaj, La Grande Dame, Marina Summers, Scarlet Envy and Tia Kofi – flexed…

‘I wasn’t standing in my power’: Keta Minaj on Drag Race UK vs the World exit

admin, , , ,

The Drag Race UK vs the World fan-favourite speaks with GAY TIMES about her “bitter” final episode, Tia Kofi’s strategy and how she plans to “redeem” herself on a future season. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC With three maxi-challenge wins on Drag Race Holland, Keta Minaj was one of the most formidable players heading into the second season of UK vs the World. A frontrunner, if you will. While she left no crumbs with her psychedelic original song and gymnastics hybrid in the talent show and…

Drag Race UK vs the World: We give this “immersive experience” a boot

admin, , , ,

Major spoilers ahead for the third episode of Drag Race UK vs the World. Ahh, we were on such a winning streak with the second season of Drag Race UK vs the World. The first two episodes boasted some pretty accurate judging (a concept we love), fun challenges (samey-samey, but they worked) and tremendous runways (La Grande Dame’s Alien-inspired She-Vil look… still thinking about her). And compared to season one, the eliminations have been fair. Hard, because we want to see more of these legendary queens (and their runway package),…

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

admin, , , ,

Drag Race star Jonbers Blonde lets rip on the ‘confusing’ UK vs the World challenge that sent her home and her wild plans for Snatch Game. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC “There are a lot of things that I could say, and I don’t want to get in trouble,” Jonbers Blonde tells GAY TIMES. The Northern Irish fashionista is referring to this week’s befuddling Drag Race UK vs the World challenge, in which the queens worked in teams of three to sell their individual…

Drag Race UK vs the World’s Arantxa dishes about her scrapped talent show idea

admin, , , ,

Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha almost presented a very different talent show performance on Drag Race UK vs the World. For the second episode of the beloved UK-based series, the queens were tasked with making three sickening looks for the ‘Happy Ending Ball,’ with the last category, ‘Drags to Riches Eleganza’, requiring them to construct a gown fit for a princess from scraps of used fabric. Unfortunately, Arantxa failed to impress the judges’ panel with her ensembles, resulting in her bottom placement alongside Choriza May.  After La Grande Dame and Keta Minaj’s…

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

admin, , , ,

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 stars form hilarious group for Snatch Game ‘trauma’

admin, , , ,

Drag Race queens from across the franchise’s stratosphere have bravely come together to form ‘The Snatch Game Victim Association’ (SGVA). The group has officially been formed by Drag Race España contestant Onyx Unleashed. The Madrid queen made her Drag Race debut in the second season of the Spanish spin-off and was eliminated in eighth place after bombing the Snatch Game. Returning for the first-ever season of Drag Race España: All Stars, Onyx once again failed to impress the judges with her impersonations, becoming only the second queen in herstory to…

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

admin, , , ,

‘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…

Drag Race: Why Mayhem Miller felt “tricked” on UK vs the World

From her fumbled talent show performance to Snatch Game, Mayhem Miller is spilling all the tea on her short-lived Drag Race UK vs the World experience. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC “I’m always going to make a memorable TV moment,” laughs Mayhem Miller. The party came to an abrupt end for the Drag Race veteran during the UK vs the World premiere after she botched her talent show number; a “guided meditation” that blended words of affirmation with a…
