RuPaul's Drag Race UK

Although I see why some people like the US version better, I still like the UK version better. the US version has a bigger budget and because it's not on public television they can give a big grand prize. Yes that is exciting, and in the US version they make a much bigger deal about the reunion and the final showdown. I'm guessing as The UK version picks up steam it will get more of a live audience connection, which it needs. However I found that even though the UK queens had enough cattiness, insecurity and shadiness to keep it spicy, overall they weren't as mean, backstabbing and manipulative as the US show contestants get. I honestly saw more of the sisterhood in the UK version than I see in most of the US seasons.

British drag comes from a completely different place than american drag, and this show is showcasing what british drag queens bring to the table. They may not have the aesthetics.... But they sure as hell can perform. They are artisic, creative and fun. I love it!

There's a definite contrast to the US version, which is a very good thing. No one wants to see the same show done again. The UK scene is funnier and drier than the American one. Some of the queens may not be as polished but what they lack in aesthetic, they make up for in being utterly depraved and hilarious!

I honestly never thought I'd end up watching this show, let alone becoming somewhat addicted to it. It's about the only show on The BBC that isn't afraid to be a bit naught, it's crass, it's loud, it's raucous, it doesn't hold back, however it's funny, well meaning, and there seems to be a genuine sense of camaraderie.

I've worked my way through, by seasons three and four, it really does kick into gear, it just gets better and better.

The show is definitely having a huge effect on The BBC, you can't turn it on without seeing one of The Queens, and why not, they are a super talented bunch of individuals.

Unexpectedly brilliant.

9/10.

But WOW what a great watch! So funny and entertaining, I'd never chose to watch this but when its on im glued to it!
