Drag Race UK rusical episode airs

tvSep 24, 20262344

BBC3 aired this week’s RuPaul’s Drag Race UK rusical episode, which ended with a contested elimination that left fans debating both the runway and judging. The episode’s runway theme was literary characters, and viewers pointed out that almost all the queens drew on children’s picture books, fairy tales, or film adaptations. Social posts praised the rusical itself while calling the runway “😬” and criticizing choices such as Anita Piss dressing as Julian is a Mermaid. Some viewers defended the judges, saying the right queens won, while others accused the editing and a lip-sync song selection of steering the result toward a particular contestant. Commenters named contenders and hoped for finalists including Mocha and KY Kelly, while many expressed being “gutted” for the eliminated queen and frustrated by perceived bad attitudes from Paris Baby. The episode prompted chatter about production and casting decisions as the season progresses.

Think Drag Race UK going to WOW unfortunately is a precursor of Beeb3 being canned

BBC 4 has been repeats for years now, bbc 3 puts out nothing compared to what it used to and most stuff that would be bbc three (smoggie queens etc) have gone to bbc 2. I think local networks are in danger too tbh with what they’re doing to bbc Scotland

Think you might be right Jen. Such a shame… but then dos it mean that BBC 4 now becomes BBC 3?

It really feels like there's no popular interest (money) in intellectual/arts programming, especially for 80s/90s kids. It's just Strictly, Eastenders and crap news all the way down.

#Spoilers for #DragRaceUK That musical was great, very fun, definitely going down as one of the best, but that runway was 😬 Also, sometimes youth can excuse a lot of things, but if that fucking attitude continues I'm going to scream.

The Republican Senate candidate can’t stop talking about the RuPaul’s Drag Race alumna after rival James Talarico named her as his favorite drag queen.

If Mocha doesn’t win this series, something has gone terribly wrong with society #DragRaceUK

Blimey, sad indictment of reading that #dragraceuk literary catwalk had three children’s picture books, 2 fairy tales and 4 directly taken from the film adaptations. Although perhaps a very good ad for drag queen storytime at kids’ libraries! (Anita Piss choosing Julian is a Mermaid though 💙❤️)

Catching UK drag race ahead of the bbc3 broadcast. It’s the rusical - let’s hope it’s better than snatch game. #dragRaceUK

Absolutely gutted at the elimination on this week’s #DragRaceUK but sadly they did do badly on the runway and the lip sync. Hope KY Kelly or Mocha win the whole thing. Also getting so sick of Paris Baby’s bad attitude.
