It could be under his boy name?
I assume being without Raven was why Ru wore a mask for the finale of US season 12

It is yeah, he's credited as David Petruschin on the US seasons but I don't remember seeing him on the UK credits. My eyesight isn't amazing though so I can barely make out the names.. 😅
 
I’m going off Lawrence who was my fave for the first few episodes even though you could see Ru loved her from the start (which usually puts me off liking them a bit )

I can’t help but still like Tayce, hopefully was just a bad week. Laughed so much when someone said they missed Veronica and Tayce said tumbleweed

I just can’t warm to Ellie at all, hope she goes next week -or Lawrence (but we know that will not happen and Lawrence will be guaranteed a place in the final)
 
Agreed, I really hope Bimini, Tayce and Awhora are top three (I’ve really warmed to Awhora, who would have thought!) but I feel like Lawrence has got a golden ticket there already. Sorry but Lawrence’s looks are pretty much the same every week and not a word has been said about it. Yet it was, what, two/three weeks before Ginny was told to switch it up and be sexy? Yawn
 
Very pleased Sister Sisters has now left. I don’t condone the trolling she has received online, but I clocked that she had a HUGE chip on her shoulder from episode one and seemed to trade on a ‘victim’ mentality which I think comes from her own sadness and jealousy of the other queens - ironically she was also immature despite being more than a decade older than some of the other contestants.

I am really enjoying the series so far and hope Bimini and A’Whora make it further - they’re both more versatile than Lawrence although maybe not as funny.

oh my gosh I have just looked up Ravens male name and I was shocked to see she wasnt black. I didnt know her previously to this weeks UK episode, but when she was standing with Tayce and RuPaul, I didn't realise she was white. My god, is that not blackfishing?

Raven has often been called out for blackfishing as well as racist remarks in the past. I’ve never been a fan tbh.

Yeah Raven has been called out on this a lot. They've always liked a tan and gone in hard with the bronzer, but a lot of people have rightly pointed out that their makeup is far too dark. Big difference between a bit of a tan/bronzer and making yourself look 5 shades darker than your natural skintone.

I've just done a bit of investigation and it seems to be her descriptions on Grindr that folk have taken a lot of offence with. I would never have thought the makeup was blackfishing (a word I have just learned). It just looks like she wanted to make herself more tanned - loads of us do it but I've never considered it trying to be black, we're just trying to look as if we've been on holiday.

She has even said herself that she is a bloke in a dress, not a woman, so should women be offended that men are sexually appropriating our clothing and makeup? Everything is just a minefield now.

I was never a fan of her in her season, I thought she was a bully.
 
Raven is very tanned when he's a boy but in drag there's definitely some more darkening going on there!

It's been a while since I've watched s2, but I remember her and Morgan being horrible to Mystique.

Brings back memories! I remember "witch, I'm from Chicago!" Apparently they're good now, according to their instas, that is. I feel sorry for Mystique, I think she's had a rough time with the fans turning on her, she was talking about how she was treated as the witch of the season when she was on a live recently with Nina Bonina Brown. I did not like Morgan on the show but I've changed my mind as I saw how she treats her fans. I also saw her offer her phone number to help a suicidal girl on her live and I thought that was a really nice gesture. She's also very good live. I've often changed my mind about queens when I met them, like Phi Phi for example.
