RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
“RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” is a popular British reality competition television series, based on the American version. The show, which will premiere in October 2019, features RuPaul and a panel of judges searching for the UK’s next drag superstar. RuPaul acts as host, mentor and head judge, with Michelle Visage, Alan Carr and Graham Norton on the judging panel.
The show has received critical acclaim, leading to multiple series renewals and spin-offs, including “RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs the World.” The success of the show contributed to the revival of BBC Three and opened doors for contestants from the music and modeling industries. The show’s impact extends to the creation of drag pop groups and spin-off series such as “God Shave the Queens.”
The show has run for fifteen seasons and has spawned spin-off series such as RuPaul’s Drag U, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, and RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race. There is also a companion series called RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked. The concept has been adapted internationally, with versions in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and more. RuPaul has won seven consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Host and the show itself has received multiple Emmy Awards and GLAAD Media Awards.
Not only is it successful in the United States, but it has become the highest-rated show on Logo TV and is broadcast internationally in countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and Israel. RuPaul’s Drag Race has made history by winning Outstanding Reality Competition Program and Outstanding Host of a Reality or Competition Program at the Primetime Emmy Awards in the same year, a feat it has accomplished multiple times.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 5 Episode 8 Ending Explained
In the end, Michael earns his second RuPeter badge, impressing with the makeover challenge by empowering Peter. Ginger already has three badges, so she’s doing well. The lip sync between DeDe and Kate is a great song, creating a level playing field. Personally, I’m leaning toward Kate to win, but Ru loves DeDe, the badgeless queen, who stays and cements her status as Lip Sync Assassin. Kate makes a good joke as she leaves. Next week she could bring a roast with a possible elimination or a final four without elimination, similar to the UK season 2. The hope is to keep the good vibes going for a favorite season.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 5 Episode 8 Review
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 5 episode 8 review describes the season as “laid back” compared to recent installments. Praise the cast for being professional and confident, avoiding toxicity in their interactions. The episode features a makeover task where queens are paired with Switchboard helpline workers, allowing the partners to share their stories without upstaging them. The introduction of mixed makeover subjects is considered a positive change. The review highlights the authenticity and joy of one couple in particular, Peter, a 65-year-old gay man. Despite the positive vibes, the review expresses surprise that anyone is still facing elimination.
The challenge involves pairing random queens with helpline workers, resulting in a mix of gender names. The introduction of a mixed makeover challenge is seen as a positive development for the programme. The review praises the incredible partnership between the queens and their hotline worker partners, emphasizing their openness about their LGBTQ+ experiences.
However, two queens, DeDeLicious and Kate, are in the bottom two. DeDeLicious’ makeover is criticized for aging both her and her partner and lacking a family resemblance. She praises Kate’s performance, but her partner is seen as somewhat overshadowed.
The review acknowledges a decline in Tomara Thomas’ recent performances and notes that the remaining contenders for victory are Michael and Ginger. Michael’s emotional makeover is considered heartwarming, while Ginger’s amazing achievement in creating detailed, vibrant garments for both herself and her partner is highlighted. The review concludes that Ginger and her partner may not have the most emotional story, but they have the skills to win.
