RuPaul's Drag Race UK

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.

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.

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!

I really loved it! Wonderful cast of queens and Graham and Alan are the perfect addition to the judges. Can't wait for more!!

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