RuPaul's Drag Race UK (TV Series) Bring Back My Queens (2021) User Reviews

The only problem is the judging.

[jamieaholding · 9/10 · 16 January 2021]

This episode could have been a 10/10. I don't think I stopped smiling... up until the judging. The problem is that whilst Michelle lives in the UK, the panel still don't give enough room for references that they simply don't get even though they should.

Whilst the first season had only two issues: judging and cast size, the second season has certainly dealt with one of those problems. I just hope we don't see many more questionable decisions that leave the audience feeling confused and frustrated.

Very confusing judging

[BulmaPunkRocker · 7/10 · 27 November 2022]

Great Queens, very interesting cast and different styles of Drag, the episode is definitely fun and the challenges entertaining.

Each Queen has their own style and way of make drag unique, the interactions are cool, love British Drag for the respect each artist has for each other despite any kind of issue they might have, unlike the US Drag Queens who fall easily for cheap drama. Good start until now.

Now that I've wrote about the good and meet the required characters, THE JUDGING WAS ABSOLUTELY CONFUSING. I really can't understand some of the placements. This episode could have been a 9 or 10 but is barely a 6.5 or 7 because of this.

It's absolute ignorance about British culture from Michelle Visage and RuPaul? It's "Rigga Morris"? Some bottoms and tops placements wouldn't have happened if it were the US version. I'm certain. After so many season, what do the judges want, charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent or retail bought clothes? I'm absolutely confused.

10/10

DRUK is funny, warm, exciting and manages to reinvigorate the format. So much better than USA. What a great, great cast of queens. Have fun girls and everyone watchin

Rubbish

Apparently they're just eliminated the most talented queens

Absolutely Terrible! Staged like WWE

I guess I don't see what the appeal is to RuPaul UK. It seems considerably worse than the US version for some odd reason, even though I like that the episodes are longer and the queens are more diverse.

The judging seems completely rigged, from Season 1 (which I disdained) to the first episode of this season. The top and bottom made absolutely no sense. This was purely a fashion challenge, so it should be much more apparent who should be in the top and bottom, unlike an acting or dancing challenge.

Yet, for some reason the judging seemed to be based on how much the production did or didn't want someone to win? It makes no sense. Also it seemed that they interntionally mis-represented the lipsynch at the end by making it look like one of the queens forgot the lines to the song by putting her performance at the wrong part of the song. Horrible.

This made me unsubscribe from the streaming service. If this is actually the best season of UK, no reason to bother watching anymore of it. This is so rigged you can already tell exactly who they "want" to win and who they don't.
