RPDR UK S1 Final (spoilers)

Those bitter queens that spoil the whole series can fuck off. I'm looking at you too, Sharon Needles!
 
I wonder if the fact that she lived in Canary Islands is why she got an Spanish name.
 
Just watched the Baga Viv T&T trailer. It doesn't exactly flood my basement, but I did think poor Davina, I can see those two getting the plank board to the next All Stars without her (I would be scrutinizing her next twitter bio edit every hour if so).
 
I still haven’t watched the finale but saw a spoiler of who won. :(
 
Then what was the point having them show up on the finale? (Other than making the Fashion Photo Ruview episode a bit longer and better)
 
I hope they just filmed it in one lump. And speaking of, watching Vinegar say something grimly inevitable about hodge podge whilst thinking she's looking good in THAT would amuse me no end.

I don’t think it’s a proper proper reunion like they have in the States, I think it’s more a low-budget-cobbled-together-at-the-last-minute sort of thing as an extra for the fans (which is why it’s not really been promoted!)

If it's like season 1 and 2, that would be my ideal format. Although hearing Gothy say something with her 10th take enthusiasm to pander to a live audience would be quite something.
 
It seems Scaredy Kat is not really friends with the others - she’s left the Whats App group chat according to comments from the other queens and they all went for dinner the other evening and she wasn’t there.
 
The glorified BTS viewing party that I guess will just have to pass for a reunion episode was absolutely worthless.

The only bit of note, besides Baga's lips that looked like she should go on Dr Pimple Popper, was Viv saying "I thought it was going to be you" and Davina saying "it's alright, I'll do All Stars".
 
I agree with the fetish vibe for Scaredy Kat, and how it isn't very satisfying. I'd much rather have a drag king or bio queen.
 
I get what they were doing trying to go for a different type of drag queen. Unfortunately Scaredy was shite. A lot of the fans thought he should be brought back a la a Shangela/Vanjie. But no. He doesn’t deserve that. And it shows.
 
I don't know drag and I've never watched the American one (have I mentioned that before?) but its the first season isn't it and she fitted that bill just fine. I am still trying to get my friend to do it (Vicki V)
 
If they had wanted to go for a different type of queen, I'd rather they address the gender issue first.
 
I really don't see how a Drag King would work within the format of the show. By their very nature Drag Kings are surely a far less entertaining prospect, even aside from Drag Race.
 
I know some Bio Queens who could be fun, but I agree Drag Kings feel like they'd be in a different competition.
 
A bio female could work really well. It would still require an epic shift in elements of the format.
 
I want neither bio queens nor drag kings. Let us enjoy the one show we have where it’s only about the gays/queens/trans without having to turn it into more than that.
 
A Drag King (Landon Cider) just absolutely slayed the last series of Dragula, and was the overwhelming fan favourite - it didn't feel weird or jarring at all having them on the show either.

I’m borderline on considering whether Scaredy Kat even COUNTS as a Drag Queen tbh - by their own admission they have no interest in performing or being part of the gay scene: WHAT IS THE POINT!
 
From my limited knowledge of Dragula the aesthetic is more adaptable to different genders... no?

Well the monster themed challenges are the main difference with DR, and I don’t see why that would be more adapted to one gender more than the other(s).
 
I don't think Drag Race would need to change much at all to accommodate it. And even if it had to, perhaps it should.
