RuPaul's Drag Race UK

Never watched RPDR before and I absolutely love it!! Crass and naughty, but makes a refreshing change from watching serious drama all the time.

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!

With American Drag Race crashing and burning in recent seasons, this is such a wonderful gem. The British queens are funnier, more creative and far less catty that the Americans, which, in my opinion, makes for a much more enjoyable time. It's a shame that the challenges aren't more interesting, but I guess you have to start with the basics in the first season. It's a great start and I can't wait to see more!

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.

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!
