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…

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.

Have you walked that fucking duck? WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN In similar vein to the Snatch Game and (controversial) makeover challenge, amongst various others, talent shows slash “variety extravaganzas” have become a RuPaul’s Drag Race staple. After debuting in All Stars 2, where Tatianna memorably dared viewers to “see me with them hands”, contestants have demonstrated the plethora of skills in their arsenal from lip-syncing to dancing, as well as giving birth to ham and making an ice-cold glass of water.

Law Roach for permanent Drag Race judge, please!

Friday night’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race was a bit packed. Between a Mini Challenge featuring Charo (maybe a wink to the recent launch of Drag Race Espana All Stars), and all the Werk Room scheming, there’s much to get into. This week’s Maxi Challenge was essentially a task of design and branding: create a look for yourself and your doll, as well as a voiceover to tell the story of said doll.  In the Werk Room, there’s a slight scramble over fabrics. Nymphia Winds gives another swing at her…

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…
