Chippy Scarlett isn’t half as much fun as Lawrence’s self-indulgent actressy tantrums and Tia Kofi herself wouldn’t have touched that lime runway dress with a barge pole. I know that season two was probably lightening in a bottle but the difference between last season’s top 5 and this season’s is embarrassingly clear. Choriza is very loveable even if her drag is a bit panto dame by way of Valencia, but she is noticeably inhibited when she actually has to perform. I think River acquitted herself as well as anyone could to Lulu’s “Shout” - a corny and ultimately quite boring and repetitive uptempo that seems like it was recorded for junior varsity majorette teams. Is Charity Kase the first RPDR contestant with facial tattoos?Īgreed that the midget should have gone home. I was a bit shocked that no one made a 'look over there!' reference as River was doing her thing. Ru seems unusually amused at people who point (and her fake laugh is really starting to grate). Remember how the Season 2 girls were expected to use the Covid break to step their pussies up with their runway looks? Well, Veronica had nearly a year. Was actually a little disappointed in Veronica's hometown look, it was kind of basic. I'm also glad she's not a woo-woo-at-the-gay-club-chick type, with an entourage of 'her gays' surrounding her, however Pandora's box has now been opened for future bio queens who may not be as pleasant as her to be cast. Victoria is surprisingly very fun to watch, I'm very happy with how she fits in with the others. Not surprised at all that she won the challenge, I'm expecting her to win the entire competition, actually. Showing that no matter what, they are just as important and fabulous.Getting Aquaria/Gigi/Gottmik 'created in a RPDR lab' vibe from Krystal Versace. Many trans stars from the show have also gone on to bigger and better things. A year later, Kylie Sonique Love, the first ever trans drag star to win, was crowned queen in the sixth season of Drag Race All Stars. This was an important step in Drag Race history. However, in 2020, the first trans queen, Gottmilk, was featured in season 13 of the original show. The treatment of trans drag queens on the show has not always been positive. Especially in the light of lack of diversity on the show.

Although Ru did apologize, actions often speak louder than words. Ru Paul Controversary Image: Īfter RuPaul’s offensive opinions on trans drag queens back in 2018, there are still many fans that aren’t exactly on his side. Congratulations to the new cast but mentioned that she was a little taken aback by the lack of diversity, herself knowing so many incredible POC, transgender and ABFAB performers. It seems Drag Race still has a long way to go when looking at its diversity and inclusiveness. Season 2’s runner up, Tayce, has also spoken on the issue.

She stated that ‘Although I am ecstatic to see a cis woman on the show, it does feel bittersweet that a lot of incredible QPOC drag artists in this country have been overlooked this season.’ ‘The U.K has a long history of racism and in our community, we should be making every effort to dismantle all forms of racism and make this a kind and accepting place for everyone.’

Ellie Diamond, who came fourth in the second series made a statement on Twitter, recognising the controversy. This includes only one black contestant, Vanity Milan, and River Medway, who is half Singaporean. The backlash came from fans but also past stars from the show. There was a lot of backlash on social media when the 12 new contestants were announced. However, this season has already been criticised for the lack of diversity.
