RuPaul’s Drag Race UK seasons 1-5 are available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.

Cherry Valentine – “Memory”, Elaine Pageīest moment: It’s almost too difficult to call, but the United Kingdolls version of “UK Hun?” changed lives. Season three promises no less than the signature Drag Race blend of glamour and challenge. Not only is season two the best season in Drag Race UK herstory, it’s one of the best seasons in Drag Race herstory, period.īest lip-sync: Tayce vs. This group of 12 queens took every challenge by the tucked balls, and hit every single note.

The late, great Cherry Valentine’s laugh, Ginny Lemon’s legendary exit and Lawrence Chaney being, well, Lawrence Chaney. However, despite how the pandemic might have inadvertently benefitted the season, it was great to begin with. Tomara Thomas – “Remember”, Becky Hillīest look: Banksie’s “Night of a Thousand Pop Icons”īest moment: Ginger Johnson and Michael Marouli slaying the roast challengeīimini Bon Boulash seemingly went home and worked out how to up their anti 100 times over, returning to the competition, slaying every challenge, and becoming the people’s princess (some of the others seemed to work out how to get those All Stars lips, above anything else), and A’Whora made a stunning garment inspired by the NHS, which she probably wouldn’t have created were it not for Covid. Season five had all the right ingredients.īest lip-sync: Cara Melle vs. Cara Melle and Vicki Vivacious gave drama, Alexis Saint-Pete and Miss Naomi Carter were the season’s heart, and Tomara Thomas was just there to make RuPaul howl at every turn. (BBC)īanksie was the season’s fashion queen, while DeDeLicious DeDeLivered lip-sync glory (plus, we finally got a Rina Sawayama lip-sync). Drag Race UK season five finalists (L-R) Michael Marouli, Ginger Johnson and Tomara Thomas. Kate Butch became one of the best-ever confessional queens, while Ginger Johnson and Michael Marouli served us a scorching hot roast – widely seen as one of the best across all seasons. The best bit about casting such an incredible line-up? Each and every episode felt like a season highlight. If anything, that was the fandom’s biggest gripe with the recently wrapped season: almost every queen’s elimination felt like it happened well before their time. The only problem with putting a cast together that is as pitch-perfect as season five’s is that the queens have to go home. Every contestant has fallen into the bottom at least once on every season except All Stars 3 and All Stars 7. RuPaul’s Drag Race UK s eason five (2023) Season 2 of RuPauls Drag Race UK is the fourth season to have every contestant land in the bottom 2 at least once, after Season 3, Season 4, and Season 11.
