A lot of drag queens are outspoken against the show and it's difficult not to agree with them. I think the US series has had its day tbh. Easy agree on the point POG makes about it not really being about drag. Most of the winners haven't even had a truly distinctive look or act. Maybe with the exception of Yvie Oddly? Although I do think Bianca Del Rio is probably the best all rounder the series has ever had.

Aaaaanyway. If you can get your hands on Tom Glitter's book they talk a bit about why they feel Drag Race is limiting for drag and gives a false view of what it's actually and who should participate in it (skinny look queens). I think this is why Lawrence Chaney, as an outsized queen, is being pushed so much but then Rupaul starts going on at Ginny Lemon for not padding out and at Joe Black for daring to wear high street 🙄 I still love the UK version, all the same.

I started watching All Stars 5 I think, that’s the only US season I’ve enjoyed. I do like how flawless they all look in the US (most of the time) but I like the characters in the UK. Definitely not warming to US season 13.
 
I used to think that Lawrence was a shoe-in, but now I think it's Bimini TBH. The only thing Bimini really has to worry about is bleeping up her outfits and being one-note in her humour & approach, but she can be quite sexy in drag as well as hilarious - I don't think we've seen everything she has to offer yet as she can be quite polished if she wants to be. Lawrence is definitely very good at making stuff and is hilarious too, but I think in a lip-sync, unless the song choice was massively in Lawrence's favour, Bimini would win

I reallyyyyy don't know what to expect from snatch game (no spoilers pls!), I think Lawrence would go for someone Scottish someone like Michelle McManus or Lorraine Kelly. Not sure about the others at all. Wonder if Awhora will go down the Essex route?

Michelle McManus isn't exactly topical is she. Any cahnce of a Nicola Sturgeon do we think?

Ooh interesting! She’s v funny (though am sure Ru has no idea who she is unless he’s a Harry Potter fan) - agree not an obvious choice but I’d be very surprised if Lawrence doesn’t slay this challenge no matter who he does...
