RPDR UK S3 E5

[lolly]

The queens make their own adverts for a brand new in-home smart assistant, Draglexa. It’s their chance to sell themselves, but first, can they meet the challenge of working together as a group?

Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock joins RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Alan Carr on the judging panel to help deliberate the fate of another queen. Who will sashay away this week?

I groaned when I read the word 'Draglexa'

 

[COB]

An iconic disaster of an episode.

 

[GinAg (39)]

OH GOD LULU NEXT WEEK

 

[GinAg (39)]

Loved tonight's episode.

The drama we needed.

 

[Sheena]

OH GOD LULU NEXT WEEK

Firstly, THIS. She’s going to pretend she’s a gay icon and she’s been watching for years, isn’t she?

 

[Sheena]

Loved tonight's episode.

The drama we needed.

Secondly, THIS! The challenge was awful but the rest was fun!

 

[Sheena]

So glad Charity has gone. The same every single week. And Scarlett is so ready to be the villain now, I am VERY MUCH IN.

They were dreadful at the challenge though

 

[GinAg (39)]

I absolutely relate to Scarlett and her strop!

 

[Sheena]

I absolutely relate to Scarlett and her strop!

Oh we’d all feel the same and most of us have done on here!

Usually most take it with more grace but I was HERE for it this week.

 

[Sheena]

I feel bad for River who I do think deserved the win this week.

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

was it really that much worse than the majority of the marketing challenges we've seen over the years?

I do think that they needed a kick up the bum though so I'm glad there was no winner.

Scarlet was good in the lip sync and is bringing drahmah so it's good that she stayed.

Choriza to win.

Couldn't Nadine do snatch game AND guest judge next week?

 

[Beverley]

Charity was better in the lip sync, but they seriously need somebody to sort these comedy challenges out. I’m sick of how terminally shit they are.

 

[monsta]

I’m bereft that Nadine and L*l* will be on the same episode

I suppose at least she’s not wearing A FUCKING HAT.

 

[VoR]

I thought this week's lip sync was much more worthy of a double save than last week. Loved Charity's Judderman realness, but evidently the judges didn't.

Agree entirely on the lip sync but guess they needed 8 for this week’s challenge.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Wow that was the episode we needed.

The lip sync was about a thousand times better than last weeks. I thought Scarlett killed it and I’m so happy for her after what happened.

And I’m kind of glad that Charity is gone; I agree with the judges on that her looks are pure art, but I don’t find it appealing at all. Also she had a rather shitty attitude.

Kitty, Choriza and River to stay until the finale please! I love them so much!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

And can I say how great it was to finally have Ru saying she’s never done her own make up and having a laugh about it. It’s the sort of vulnerablity that we have needed to see from her.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

was it really that much worse than the majority of the marketing challenges we've seen over the years?

Exactly! We’ve seen far worse. But it had a great effect on the queens and on the outcome.

[Phoenix]

I’ve stopped after the commercials and haven’t finished yet but I thought the first one was perfectly fine and a a lot less embarrassing than some of the shit they make them do.

 

[Sheena]

The whole thing was the epitome of

 

[Beverley]

It’s just exhausting seeing them circle the drain of the same old formats and jokes.

Hold on, are you talking about Drag Race or Moopy?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Even the drama couldn’t save the shitshow that was this challenge and episode.

 

[Penelope]

The untucked segment was the most watchable this series has been since Victoria Scone left. Delighted we never have to watch Charity Kase pretending to be a fucking goblin and calling it drag ever again.

 

[Phoenix]

I thought the Scarlet critique was very harsh, she was absolutely fine.

Also I’m getting bored of Krystal.

 

[straightorbroken]

Didn't agree with the mini challenge win, but Krystal was giving good:

 

[straightorbroken]

Scarlett is unwatchably bad. Perhaps she ought to familiarize herself with the source material she thought was a good example of her own ideas (being ideas people have had multiple times on this show). I'm making a coffee to get through this.

 

[straightorbroken]

Poor Kitty though. I loved her stink face smile in the work room and thought she was pretty good in the challenge.

 

[straightorbroken]

Cannot believe that brat stayed. What a class act. So many things here that didn't win her any favours.

Charity surely guaranteed a go on Dragula if not All Stars and ... and...


NAY-DEEEEEN!

 

[Will]

I actually thought Scarlett's team's effort was quite funny. Helped immeasurably by them not including Scarlett's misremembered Joan Crawford quote Ru obviously loves her, as he didn't have the heart to call her out on it. So I suspect she's in it until the end.

Charity was my far the most interesting character left in the show, and I could watch dozens more runways from her and not get bored. Plus, she was excellent in that lip sync. But she's clearly not got much else to offer on the talent side of things, aside from her looks - so it's probably for the best that they put her out of her misery on this episode. And with that lip sync, she went out on a high.

 

[COB]

Did Scarlett not adapt the quote on purpose? No wires hanging, because the device is wireless? Not that it was funny either way, obviously

 

[Sheena]

Of course she did. And though it wasn’t funny I do like that she’s a student of old camp!

 

[straightorbroken]

That makes it worse for me, but maybe I should give her more credit at the same time.

 

[VoR]

 

[straightorbroken]

Kitty is on the rise.
