What Do We Know About Ru Pauls Drag Race UK?


Great news for all Drag Race fans from the UK as the show has confirmed that they will be doing a UK version with Ru Paul, Graham Norton, Alan Carr and Michael Visage being the permanent judges. As with the US version each week will feature two special guest judges. Graham Norton and Alan Carr are both famous British comedians who both have the quick witted, sassy yet subtle comedy style that Ru Paul has previously said he loves. Apparently there is going to be a royal themed episode, because of course there is and Ru Paul heavily hinted at wanting Meghan Merkle as a guest judge for this episode.



Who's the queens?

Nothing has being confirmed as of yet (as usual) and film is expected to take place in London within a BBC studio as the series will be on BBC3. Rumours have swirled around who is going to be on the show and get a spot on the first UK RPDR season. Instagram detectives have done sleuthing and a bio queen called Delirium has been rumoured to be taking part, mainly due to her tagging RPDR in instagram posts and a drop in schedule around the suspected filming time. This would be the very first bio queen to ever be on a RPDR season and would surely be a dramatic entrance for the new franchise. 



 What can we expect?

Deciding what we should expect from a UK version of RPDR is difficult as US and UK drag is hugely different. Whilst US drag is often about glamour, tongue pops and explosive behaviour UK drag is more like what would happen if your 55 year old chain smoking uncle got really drunk on a holiday to benidorm and decided to pop a wig on in a local bar, might be a good singer too. Charlie Hydes was read for filth for her standing still, telling the kids to get off her lawn style lip sync and whilst the read was correct UK drag is less often kicks and flips and more about live vocals, stand up comedy and hosting.

Why Yvie Oddly Should Win Drag Race S11

[SOME SPOILERS AHEAD] If you have not been watching season 11 of Ru Paul's Drag Race Season 11 then you're truly missing out. Episode 1 brought about the elimination of a youtube favourite "Soju" being eliminated in week one and the return of Miss Vanjie. Many of the queens have quickly impressed fans (I have a soft spot of Plastique Tiara, fish and talent/comedy? legend). A rivalry quickly brewed between the loud, outgoing and hilarious Silky Nutmeg Ganache with Ru saying she is a star and the freakishly endearing yet gentle soul Yvie Oddly. Yvie Oddly became my absolute favourite and my horse to back the second we saw that coral umbrella full body pink look. Truly amazing 1) Her Aesthetic.... Yvie has the ability to not only change her silhouette in each and every challenge but at times even the entire theme of the challenge. Yvie has the uncanny ability to take a challenge and force it through her Yvie freakish filter and produce consistently stunning ...
