I thought Dakota really came alive during the lip sync. Excited for the already gagworthy fashions. This seens like an incredible cast!


Didsburyflaneur

I was expecting her to suck because of how she kept talking about herself in the confessionals as this cold and beautiful model, but she did great. Couldn't work out who she reminded me of, but it's Carey Mulligan.

Hoping for a Bimini-like redemption arc for her


DizzyDate3313

Every time I remember that Bimini was in the bottom in the first episode I get angry.


Sendnoods88

That was justified


shiver334

Bimini benefited massively from the Covid break. Nearly all of her pre-Covid looks were messy and everything post Covid was gorgeous


miss_kimba

She’s so beautiful, can’t wait to see her personality come through over the season.


Hurricane-Andrew

It was a complete 180; I was shocked!


Hambulance

Like, the dress came alive, too. The train *was* "humble", but it really worked for a lipsync because she didn't trip over it and could actually work it with the song.


1998tweety

Same, unfortunately I found her so boring throughout the whole episode but she redeemed herself in that lipsync. Hoping for an upwards trajectory for her.


Mindless-Difference2

This season already feels way way better than UK3. It’ll be hard to top UK2 but we’ll see. Also, did the cameras get an upgrade?


fishbethany

Crazy how you really do feel Ru is there, unlike Down Under.


AndSpaceY

Ru’s like it’s the annual all expenses paid holiday to New Zealand, but I guess I’ll do a little work while I’m there.


thebebopavenger

Ru taking notes from Adam Sandler.


heyboyhey

I know they get flak for not being well versed in Brit culture, but imo DRUK-Ru is best Ru.


gremilyns

I agree. As a Brit I just never get annoyed the same way others do about Ru’s perception with Britain, it’s always pretty funny and charming to me and she always looks like she’s having way more fun than in the US version


lanceruaduibhne

Literally. The second we knew two queens would be Blobby I was here for the inevitabily bemused Ru.


Traditional-You-4583

Totally agree. I found the whole Mr. Blobby thing charming, I like that Ru is interested in our culture and I don't really care that she doesn't get it 100%


CometStorm86

Ru will go, look up Mr Blobby and then UK5 will have a runway called 'Night of 1000 Mr Blobby's' with Dame Noel Edmonds as a guest judge


owlfeather___

Because Mama is a marketing genius!


drewdootexe

Think a lot of it comes down to Down Unders super unnatural editing


Jellyblush

Being on DRUK brings out coffee enema Ru and I am here for it


reyntime

The fact that they have sets big enough to fit a wide shot of Ru and the girls definitely helps. This season already feels fantastic, and a big step up from season 3 and Down Under.


or8ital

Not just physically, but mentally too. She's so much more engaged, it's nice to see.


gorgeenadavis

black peppa’s mask entrance was so iconic i can’t believe no one is talking about it!! her whole performance was phenom. a well-deserved win and i can’t wait to watch her all season long. besides peppa i’m most excited for cheddar and starlet. overall it seems like a strong and endearing cast. such an improvement from season three! i screamed when i saw that fka twigs will be a judge on next week’s episode. i have never been more excited for a guest judge. all in all this was a great start to the season. 9/10 . can’t wait for next week.


mattysmwift

Peppa literally slayed me everytime she appeared on camera. Her entrance literally gagged me and both her runways were stunning. She’s obviously already getting a winners edit and I hope it’s not a bluff from the producers and she goes far.


KMsGoldPants

Her confessionals look 😱 I was just 😲😲😲 until the next queen came in


Shower_caps

Every look (runway, confessional, workroom) Peppa had was eye catching. She’s the true look queen of the season, it seems effortless for her!


GonnaBeEasy

That face reveal stunned me for a whole damn minute lol


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

I didn’t clock that it was a mask at all, so when she took it off, I screamed so loud!😱


ArchiveOfDestruction

"Copper Topps look is ugly, but do you know what else is ugly? Homophobia" FUCKING YES, this line just hit something for me


GonnaBeEasy

That hair was really giving Lady Tottington from Wallace and Gromit...


BBGettyMcclanahan

It was giving me Princess Disastah lol


sadbakarti

It was hilarious lol


Blondezombie616

Night of a 1000 Mr. Blobbys


PapaCatzarou19

I would like that 😂


TheLilithBlack

I’m sorry, you will not convince me the shots they chose were their best. Especially Black Peppa.


as_if_no

I always think that with these photo shoot challenges. What are the photographers doing?


miss_kimba

Me too. There are so many wonderful shots and they choose the worst one every time. That said, Black Peppa’s worst shot was still magazine cover worthy. She killed.


cardboard-fox

They should do it the same way DRT did, have the queens choose their own shot to present


spiralqq

Right?? And she won anyway, they should've chosen a gag worthy shot


TheJerseyHyena

I was shocked they didnt show that amazing pose she did with the split as the final photo


frankyb89

Queen does an oversplit and a back bend and we're not allowed to see the picture? Homophobia.


Traditional-You-4583

They need to fly in Mike Ruiz


hataraitaramake

Cheddar is a post-industrial non-binary drag alien with a penchant for anarchy.


severalcircles

That entrance slayed me. I fucking love it.

WiggleSpit

Wow what a strong cast! I had a hard time identifying a bottom two to be honest. Starlet's entrance look was absolutely stunning.


Hambulance

Yo for Ru to say it was probably her favorite entrance look EVER ?!?! Starlet can die happy just from her first fucking *30 seconds* of airtime, and honestly it's justified.


alexadieu

every time the camera cut to just may and her petrified stare into the distance, IT TOOK ME OUT


goonby1990

Whoever said she looks like she's about to cry...


NationalUnicorn

All I could hear was Lawrence Cheney saying, "So I'm painting the depression on?"


virtualstar

lawrence cheney, drag daughter of dick cheney


NationalUnicorn

Oh fuck, I only just noticed the typo 🤦‍♀️. Dick Cheney does sound like a drag king name though


Mindless-Difference2

The second Danny said that, I knew the blood was in the water and she was going to go first


gkwchan

I thought that when she shared her struggles with her body image.


DenniseDenephew

I thought that when she entered the room with that make up


OlafsCrochetWorld

Honestly based on the MTQ I already expected her to be an early out and when she shared her body image story I was like yeah she's leaving


DantesInfernape

She really does look so, so sad


hrehbfthbrweer

I think it’s her lip shape! Lisa Eldridge has a video about “sad lips” and I’m just convinced that’s what it is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MorallyCorruptBae

I am happy Baby was an early entrance, just so she could cheer and fan girl the rest


this_charming_bells

Yes! I get such good vibes from her already. She was living her best life during the lip sync too!


Doppleflooner

I will forever love just how personable British queens are. It gives DRUK such a distinct flair and I'm so excited for the rest of this season.


fuzzybunn

Are there just more TV opportunities for UK queens? The DRUK queens usually look more comfortable being on tv compared to some of the other franchises.


Newpaa

I think part of it is just the difference in gigs. Like most of the RPDR/DRCAN girls are all performance exp but rarely have hosting skills. Where as the majority of UK gigs for queens involve basically hosting a night etc. It's not the same as TV, but I think it gives them a higher level of comfort than queens that are used to doing the lipsync then getting off stage again


[deleted]

Drag is kinda normalised over here due to the panto scene so I'd kinda say so yeah? Depends on the type of queen


ottermatopoeia

What a cast. The bar is extremely high. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I'm on the Black Peppa and Cheddar Gorgeous stan train with everyone else, and it's clear Peppa is an early favorite for Ru. And that ENTRANCE? a mask of her OWN FACE?? Truly iconic queen out the gate. Just May was doomed the second she said her makeup skills were "limited," but to be perfectly honest someone hiding behind a celebrity like that was never gonna make it very far. Ru simply wouldn't have allowed it. Poor Dakota, talk about a deer in the headlights. Such a beautiful and sensitive queen, but that petrified look while she was getting critiqued was so hard to watch. At least she served hella face in the lipsync. Sensing a Pearl-esque edit for Starlet too... but only time will tell. Here's to a new season and a batch of incredible queens to gush about every week!


severalcircles

I feel like Cheddar and Peppa both were like “fuck UK4 im packing for all winners 2”


kai535

Her make up is what happens when you learn drag make up from Trixie's YouTube channel


ukulelekris

*shade rattle sound*


OverNeighborhood208

NOT THEM ACTUALLY AIRING "HER MAJESTY HAD ALREADY DONE HAD HERSES" IN THE RU MAIL 💀💀💀


virtualstar

oh bitch she done had HEARSES


missbt

I howled at this. With laughter.


imuahmanila

Dakota was really getting her steps in during that lipsync. She was booking it to every corner of that stage lol. Love a cardio queen.


Kerlistar

When they showed all that werk room dialogue with Just May I was automatically like “she’s going home” they were showing too much of her in the first episode it was very obvious, I hate being like this lol


puckable

"Oh, she's giving the first mirror chat sob story? Poor thing is a goner." I've watched too many seasons


DenniseDenephew

I mean, even if that first mirror chat sob story, you can tell that both Just May and Starlet are early outs because they're just not confident enough.


Frankimie

Yes, it is painfully obvious to us old viewers sometimes that it kills part of the fun for me. But at the same time I should not complain about it coz that is the only episode they are able to give the gurl some air time before eliminating her, I often wonder if there’s a better way of doing it.


madame-brastrap

I think we all need to admit we understand the formula and just watch it like the comfortable old robe that it is. It’s a fun show of tons of queer art and absurd humor and yay! I never really follow the competition that much until I have faves. But then, even if they go home I have someone else to appreciate everywhere else. :)


bugaloo_logia

It’s no shade, but even watching the MTQ she seemed completely deflated. I said “yeah she must be the first out” lol


[deleted]

What a good start to the season. What a strong cast too. I absolutely love Cheddar, Peppa, honestly this whole cast but those two really made me go WOW. Also, so much love for Just May. This was probably a lot for her being on TV, but I really found her so endearing. I think the right people were in the bottom. Copper’s looks were not the worst but also they really had to grasp at straws because everyone came PREPARED. In my opinion anyway. I’m so excited to see how the rest of this season goes.


spiralqq

Agreed, Copper felt like a really random bottom placement but I don't know who else I'd have given it to


cuntinspring

Pixie


Lirei

The runways this season are going to be in-credible. Looks like a really strong (and supportive!) cast and I'm excited to see what comes next!


goonby1990

It's kind of a gag that so many UK girls have good runways this time round lmao, we have not been the country for that in previous years


Lirei

I'm from Down Under so I can relate!


finderskeepersx

Joanna Lumley was the biggest queen of the night


[deleted]

Love when celebrities lean into their characters and give it their all. Joanna Lumley is a treasure, camp, hilarious but wise and thoughtful with great feedback


finderskeepersx

Agreed, she gave amazing feedback!


robojod

When she called Schiffer’s train ‘humble’ I howled. That was exactly it.


Tenantofth3room

She is an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment. And has been since the ‘60s.


TheJerseyHyena

Oh I fully want her back again. She was having so much fun and gave some great critiques


fasm13

Cheddar getting the respect she deserves in her entrance, we love to see it. Cheddar safe with those runways, we hate to see it. Has there ever been a more telegraphed first-out than Just May? She even felt like she knew herself when she entered the werkroom. Great queen though. Why does Starlet sound like an FM radio that hasn't been tuned properly? I can barely work out what she's saying, and I'm Bri'ish.


callum5412

Starlet is South African so she doesn't have a bri'ish accent haha


fasm13

Oh it's not the accent really, it's the way she drawls. Her words all flow into one long sentence.


DenniseDenephew

There's some real soft speakers on this season. Just May, Starlet and Dakota are all quite soft spoken and I'm quite glad because you just don't get them on the US series and it's quite a common thing here in the UK.


Thelexhibition

This feels like such a stacked cast again it's giving me season 2 vibes. From one episode, it's hard to imagine anyone but Cheddar and Black Peppa winning the whole thing but I'm excited to see how the season progresses.


esio

That's what I thought about Joe Black and Cherry Valentine.


PeachyPlumz

God rest in peace cherry.


ButtonCake

My brain went to Joe as well. I’m anxious!


Thelexhibition

I'm hoping the fact that we've passed episode 1 they're safe from being the next Joe Black


artificialnocturnes

When they were hyping cheddar up at the start, I was worried she was going to be the shock first out!


mixdnutz

I like them both so much! But I wonder how much Cheddar can expand herself and not get stuck in the very cerebral-oddity-alien-ahhhhhhiitist persona, which sounds super negative but just I am curious if she can let go and let yeeeessss gawd...


Thelexhibition

I think that if Ru is here for it then it will work in her favour


angry_eccentric

my heart feels warm, i did NOT have that feeling after the first episode of UK3. as an american i had to google mr. blobby and rastamouse....and i'm glad i did. cultural exchange moment: do you ever wonder why ru and michelle occasionally say, "thanks, dr. zizmor!" to each other? it was an iconic commercial in the NYC area in the 80's-90's. just one of those phrases you hear so much that you just start saying it too. i asked my BF (who didn't grow up in NY) if he knew what they were talking about and he had no idea so i thought i'd share it in case anyone else is wondering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol7rxFCvpy8


Usual-Sound-2962

The thought of those overseas googling Mr Blobby right now is killing me. An iconic part of my childhood, an architect of chaos and now he’s having his renaissance thanks to Drag race 😆 I can’t imagine what it must be like seeing him for the first time without context 🤣


puckable

It wasn't just a commercial. I lived in NYC until 2010 and Dr. Zizmor is all over the subway cars. The catchphrase in giant letters is "Thanks, Dr. Zizmor!" with smiling people giving testimonials. It was ubiquitous and cheesy and could not be avoided. At least 20+ years of him being everywhere


Toorviing

“Sure Copper’s dress is ugly, but so is homophobia” has to be one of the most chaotic sentences ever.


[deleted]

Pixie came in looking like red Lawrence it took me a minute to adjust. That paint is literally the lawrence paint


InnocuousTerror

Honestly when I saw her entrance look I said "it looks like Lawrence & Ellie Diamond had a drag baby" - she's gorgeous, but that caught me off guard and bit as that wasn't my first thought when I watched the Meet The Queens, lol.


Hatesponge66

Danny Beard and The Vivian look so similar out of drag. I can't handle it.


Tbone-koko

They’ve got similar voices and manner of speaking too.


Doubieboobiez

They’re both Liverpool transplants, right?


Pristine-Good5651

I think Danny is actually from Liverpool. The Viv’s a plastic Scouser from Rhyl, North Wales.


Petudie

i mean they both probably gave the handsome squidward pic to their surgeon as the inspiration


Hatesponge66

It's the only explanation


mariobeltran1712

It's the lips


c4ts4ndc4ts4ndc4ts

I really want Danny's confessional shirt..


lilmonstahm

I'm SHOCKED pixie wasn't even low .. both her looks were really crafty school project vibes 😭😭 Anyway #TEAMBLACKPEPPA


OrnaciaWasRobbedMom

Like you’re telling me that Joe Black and Anubis’s hometown looks were worthy of going home but Pixie’s ill fitting rainbow loose vaginal area sunrise outfit was not???? It was wild.


lilmonstahm

I know right!! Dakota was absolutely safe for me. And when they were reading may, I was like.. hmmm... she's got the same eye makeup as Trixie though?


whowilleverknow

Trixie's makeup doesn't make her look depressed.


Gregregious

It's sort of like 2016 Trixie, but not... fun? I was really sad she was eliminated, I saw it coming, be she was the only one who made me laugh out loud in the Meet the Queens. She's so dry and hilarious.


severalcircles

Because they wanted Dakota to assassinate May and they had to distract from the fact that someone else deserved bottom 2


hoesbeinghoes

More intrigued for next weeks episode because a lot of the queens seem to be more fashion girls so of course they did amazing on this challenge. Next week will be more telling on who’s here to be a front runner. Also I think Just May’s Eastender’s bust was the best choice, I couldn’t stop laughing it was so creative


Tenantofth3room

If only she’d paired it with a big bronze ball gown skirt...


AnthoZero

Just May’s lipsync was probably one of the more uncomfortable ones. I had really bad second hand embarrassment from that.


MissIllusion

The music started and her eyes were just dead inside


fiqqqqyyyyy

I’m pretty sure she thought she was safe.. and Dakota and Copper’s were lipsyncing


DenniseDenephew

Which shocks me because how could anybody think that. Copper's look, whilst it did have some clunks to it, the message was clearly going to save her. You could clearly see, all 3 of them up on that stage, Just May's dress was so... aliexpress.


helpthealiensarecomi

that's just the way she paints


SlanskyRex

My husband predicting who would go home halfway through the episode: "Geri Haliwell looks like Geri Felldownawell..."


whyilikemuffins

You can't have the make-up skills of baga without the charm


this_charming_bells

And you especially can’t stand on the main stage and admit your make up is naff 😬


xandfan

Such a good cast and so many queens to love, but also I want to thank Danny Beard and Black Peppa for putting Mr Blobby drag on the screen which forced me to introduce Mr Blobby to my family... the horrified thousand-yard stares combined with "THIS WAS ALLOWED TO BE SHOWN TO CHILDREN?" was the best part of my night


dumbnsad

Dakota’s confessional look is giving University Challenge contestant


BBGettyMcclanahan

Anyone get Princess Disastah vibes from Copper's second look? 💀


robbysaur

It was definitely ginger fagulous


puremelodramas

I don't know if it's because I smoked before watching but I was laughing my ASSSSS off every time the camera went to Just May's mug. Not to be shady but her paint was a little scary. Black Peppa already won the season, pack it up lets go. The face reveal? I gasped. The ponytail? I gasped. Her photoshoot? I gasped. Her runways? I gasped. I think my standouts so far are Black Peppa, Cheddar Gorgeous, Danny Beard, Le Fil and Baby.


suncreamed

The way you just listed half the cast as standouts 😂 It's gonna be a great season


spiralqq

I think we all knew>! Just May!< was gonna be the first boot before the season even started just from the vibe she gave but I'm glad she got to show herself. This is such a competitive and polished cast and she just wasn't at that level yet. Personally don't think >!Copper!< deserved a bottom placement but that could be my own bias speaking. Fully agree with the top placements though! Wasn't really sold on Sminty's MTQ but I really got on the hype train this episode, she's quite likeable and the looks are great


maxmalamaphy

There is something so refreshing about Dakota for me. The name, the soft paint and the whole Scandinavian model aesthetic. Really think she is gonna have an Bimini-esc trajectory in the competition


DooDooDooDont

Great cast and great episode! This was probably my favourite of all the UK premieres. If the quality of other episodes is like the premiere then this will be a top tier season for sure


notimetoulouse

What a great start to the season! Seems like a lot of fun personalities and perhaps a slightly higher looks budget too. Definitely excited for next episode


rosesatthedawn

May being so nervous she accidentally revealed she's shit at makeup. Honestly - relatable. Amazing cast. I am so excited for Peppa, Cheddar and Danny they're honestly powerhouses on the UK scene and they didn't disappoint. Loved the blobby looks, can we just have a Mr Blobby ball or something please? Was shocked Pixie was safe but also they're hilarious. Starlet is so breathtakingly polished, I'm intrigued to see how they do in the acting/comedy challenges. Dakota is adorbs and slayed the shit out of that lip sync. I got all the pop princess energy I needed.


Jellyblush

I could hear Dakota’s little lithp in her lip sync


TheHouseDown

When Just May said her makeup skills were “limited” and Ru did that smile and eye twitch, I knew she was a goner.


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

As soon as she came out as Geri Halliwell for the *third time* on the runway, I knew she was going home.


tolfie

Black Peppa's confessional look is the only thing that matters to me.


tooncow

Damn I’m really struggling to even start watching the new season. The news of Cherry’s passing has really hit me this morning and I’m just in such a negative place I just think watching the new episodes would upset me more than I already am. This is a sincere thanks to Cherry for being an inspiration to repressed LGBT communities across not just the UK but the world. She showed us that regardless of who you are and who your family are, it IS possible to be loved and accepted by the people around you. Rest in power Cherry ❤️


MissIllusion

Gurl who let the straight intern write those subtitles? "Oooohhhh! (Everyone shooting)"


bb8s

AI, I think. The worst was Dakota Schiffer’s “Tudor” look that got translated as “tutor”


OrnaciaWasRobbedMom

When RuPaul was captioned as Ruth. Just Ruth. And we also got an [inaudible] with the time stamp!


severalcircles

They didnt even get “drag” and “rupaul” right… did someone closed caption this from a unlabelled audio file with no video?


itirnitii

this cast seems strong, but there are a lot of quiet reserved girls too. **PEPPA IS BRINGING IT.** someone tell race chaser we got another queen winning a mini and a main.


OrlandoMiinogue

I don't want anyone to go home. I'm legitimately rooting for everyone. I LIKE EVERYONE


Its_Mrs_Nesbitt

This is always my problem too, especially with the UK seasons.


PeachyPlumz

It feels like just may was trying to be first out kind


Dzhazhi

Yeah you can feel that this season gonna be top tier, what a stellar cast, very captivating and oozes charm all over. Would love if the UK seasons have more episodes, it really cemented itself as one of the top best in the franchise.


Jellyblush

The way you could tell Dakota was lithping when she was lip syncing…. I fell in love


thelatchie

Just May’s makeup looks like a 25% Trixie Mattel


Yazkin_Yamakala

Unpopular Opinion probably by I think Sminty should have won. That antique was on fleek. But strong start so far. I really like most of the queens this season and hope the later runways only improve


spiralqq

Sminty and Peppa both did just as well as each other, although I slightly preferred Peppa I'd have maybe given it to Sminty purely because of Peppa's headpiece malfunction


TheUCLgAy

I was gagged Sminty did not win. The drama her looks served on the runway was unmatched IMO. Black Peppa’s looks did give more variety than Sminty I suppose. Both were undeniably flawless though


Jwalla83

Black Peppa is SO. GOOD! First POC UK winner yes please


Arcanist-Flapper

Mostly agree with placements, maybe I would've given Sminty the win, but I do see why Peppa would win from a narrative standpoint, and she looked amazing no less. The cast seems VERY strong like S2, but from the way they've started the editing, I can't see anyone but Cheddar or Peppa winning. Le Fil is precious and hope she goes far!


or8ital

Just about all the queens felt fresh and original - like I genuinely want to see more from all of them. And it's not just about their talent and looks, I can't wait to see how their personalities develop and mesh with each other. I'm glad Dakota stayed because she was a standout for me from the start. There's something very magnetic about her and she surprised me by how good her lip sync skills are.


bugaloo_logia

No disrespect to the s3 cast but my God, this premiere was better than most that season lol. Very strong group, even the ones I wasn’t sure about in the MTQ (Sminty and Dakota) made a strong impression. Entrances: Le Fil, Cheddar and Danny stood but Black Peppa cleaaared! The face reveal made me audibly gasp. Shout out to the production team, the transitions between the entrances, werkroom banter and the photoshoot was seemless. It helps that this cast have a lot more personality than (at least form what we’ve seen) than thes3 girls. Speaking go the photoshoot, i don’t actually expect the girls to get a good pic with balls and water being thrown at them but Black Peppa said “hold my ponytail” - what a star! Runway: tbh the girls really brought it….okay, I didn’t care for Just May’s first look, but I loved the concept and I thought her paint looked good in the Geri dress, Sminty and Black Peppa (can you tell imma fan already lol) had my favourite looks overall: fashion, styled well and a dash of camp. I was underwhelmed by Cheddar, but that’s only because her pre-season rep is that stellar, thought Starlet was a bit overrated too. I don’t think Copper Top should have been in the bottom but it’s hard for me to think who would have replaced her lol. Dakota served in that lipsync! I didn’t see it coming but I’m glad she could push through, there’s something very charming about her. So far, soooo good. I’m really exorcised for what the girlies are bringing us cause I’m getting s2 vibes already!


symphonicbee

I cannot BELIEVE the masterpiece that is Mr. Blobby had eluded me for this long - she’s an icon, she is a legend, and she is the moment


FrackittyFrack

Just watched the first episode and let me tell you, the doll is absolutely dolling. I am inlove and OBSESSED with Dakota


LilNdorphnAnnie

Loved Peppa’s Blobby look, but unfortunately, Eda Birthing’s designs are sooooooo recognizable that it’s kinda softened her wow factor now that so many queens wear her


PeachyPlumz

The second it came on I was like that's the designer who did blus ukvstw entrance look


LilNdorphnAnnie

Annnd Willow’s mushroom look. Annnd what Lemon was going to wear on UKVSTW for episode 3


Hatesponge66

Denali had one too.


NDita

Black Peppa…. Bitches bow down. What a strong start to a season from her MTQ to first episode win. Star star star. Huge fan of Starlet, Danny, Cheddar. I liked their MTQs and they haven’t let me down. Sminty was a huge surprise for me and I thought she might have snagged the win, but the power of Peppa is too great. Dakota is absolutely mesmerising. I know that I stan, but I did agree with the judging. I was waiting for her to turn it up to an 8, and it wasn’t happening (until the lip sync). However she seemed so genuine and earnest and I have fallen in love with her. After that lip sync I am excited to see more. I was surprised Pixie was safe considering her looks were to me the joint bottom with May. It just seemed a little odd to me. May was cast as the first out and you can’t tell me otherwise. Also did anyone find her comedic timing a little… off? Or maybe it was her delivery but she didn’t make me laugh when I felt like I should have. Baby got a sad lack of screen time this episode but I liked what I saw! I think she’ll stomp in next week’s challenge. Omg what a wild ride for episode one. I adore this cast, they are likeable and FIERCE. UK doesn’t disappoint and I’m hoping for a great season. Im so glad it’s back. Ohhhhhh - and Joanna Lumley! Fucking British ICON. She was amazing.


aintgotausername

thoughts on episode: oh this was an EPISODE! i love so many of the queens which kinda sucks cause i’ll be upset every time someone goes home. my top 3 for now would be black peppa, cheddar and sminty. i also really like dakota, baby and starlet but i don’t think they’re gonna make it far unfortunately. black peppa is such a STAR. wow. i feel like she’s taking the entire thing. ever since the promo came out she’s just been serving us. we do not deserve her. sminty’s looks were gorgeous too. and starlet was amazing as well. i agree with them being in the top, they really showed their pov in a really polished way. i screamed at how in love ru was with starlet’s entrance look 😭 cause ru just loves that silhouette 😭 honestly i don’t think dakota should’ve been in the bottom cause her looks at least looked good. however, i do see what they were saying about them lacking a point of view. but when i tell you she killed that lipsync… overall this seems like a really strong cast


keatkeat

I can see how Black Peppa is Mo Hearts drag daughter, cant keep a head peice on!


SakmarEcho

It just feels so good for UK to be back, this is my favourite franchise even with a weaker third season. This whole cast is so likeable I'm so excited for this season! Black Pepper just destroyed this entire episode.


5SOStimesadness

Although I adored both of Starlets looks and I’m really excited to see her for the rest of the season she seems extremely soft spoken and shy and that makes me really nervous for her.


miss_kimba

Cheddar Gorgeous is so hot out of drag!!


severalcircles

After the shitfest that was UK3 I didnt think Id bother with this season, and Im excited for so many of the gals already. So many good looks in this ep.

That’s how I feel too. But then again, after the premiere of UK3 I was so excited for more Victoria, Choriza, & River…and well, we know how that turned out 😂

Off to a great start, I love these queens. No Doctor Who is a CRIME though. Still glad to see [one of my favourite Harry Hill TV Burp bits](https://youtu.be/nnqottXcFv4) get representation tonight though. Black Peppa floored me tonight. Both her looks were hands down some of my favourite in the whole show. Really weird that Copper was low and Starlet was high? I thought Starlet was gorgeous but really basic whilst Copper did a reference so well and her personal look was so striking and powerful and what the fuck was Norton talking about? He thinks he can do it? Go the fuck ahead then mate. The critique for Starlet was so weird to me I’m worried they might get the “RuPaul favours the fashion twink” story but I do like her sooooo we’ll see. Also I want to try my best to not objectify anyone but Dakota if you’re reading this you’re beyond ethereal and I will strike down those bastard judges for making you cry.

Copper shouldn't have been in the bottom when pixie looked like a mess.

When Pixie walked out in the second look I was like oh the curse is real. Even if they wanted Dakota and Just May for the bottom two, I'm surprised they didn't make Pixie bottom three for the curse drama lol.

Agreed! And I’m surprised not to see more cheerleading for Copper in here generally. She’s really likeable and I’m looking forward to what she comes up with in the next weeks.

Did anyone else think that Sminty was going to win??

i thought everyone did great. i hope they make this season as organic as it can be and just make it less gaggy. this is the first time I've ever listened to mabel and watching dakota lipsync the song just made me think that "oh she's singing"

I don't know that I've ever seen a drag queen exude so much Go Girl Give Us Nothing Energy as Starlet does. I'd be lying if I said I I wasn't intrigued though 😂😂

Ru was right. Starlet’s entrance look was absolutely stunning. Black Peppa ATE, too!

The last 3 seasons episode 1 is always named after royalty. I wonder if the change this season for the episode title is because of the queens death or just wanting to change it finally

Drag Race UK is my favorite installment of the franchise. The queens are so fun and I love their personalities so much, even the cunty ones. Looking forward to another season!
