RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under

This is the worst version of drag race despite Aus and NZ being excellent places for talent. The show is overproduced to a point where it is not enjoyable to watch, it's clearly rigged, and leaves you dying for some good producing.

I can't recommend it, especially how clear it is that Ru is clueless about NZ culture and is only taking advantage of their COVID-free status.

This series is absolutely diabolical. The cast is a horrendous bunch of idiots who call themselves drag queens even though they can't do anything of the sort. The runway outfits have been awful and the lipsyncs are boring. There is no highlight in this series as the production has stooped so low it does not seem like Rupaul even cares about the show anymore. It feels like a parody of the original whilst Rupaul fake laughs in the background. Watching this series is like watching paint dry. It is very boring and like flogging a dead horse. Michelle Visage's stylist this season deserves to be sacked as her fake wigs don't even try to hide her alopecia. This series is cheap.

So far it's a very forgettable season. Compared to UK 2 and 13.

If this was "Australia's Top Drag" I would give it 8. The queens are talented. They could probably show their talent. But since it's RuPaul, it's a 4.

He doesn't care. It's obvious. The top 3 is chosen before the show starts, like in other spin-offs usually. There's nothing the others can do. There can be "this is the best you've done so far" followed immediately by "you're up for elimination." There can be "this was definitely worst you've done" and it gets "you're safe" because they chose them to the top three.

He just barely is there, fake laughing and pretending to be nice. It doesn't work.

If he let it go, like Thailand, it might be good. But greedy is as greedy does.

As a person living in Australia, I was looking forward to Drag Race Down Under. What I saw was a cheap production, with many drag queens who have had a racist past. If I was Rupaul I wouldn't bother with another season of Drag Race Down Under. If you are looking to watch an "international" version of Drag Race I would suggest checking out the UK version.
