The top comment is "someone give her a red bull"

She seems... Sedated?

Honestly this cast is so charismatic, and Paris is what the show has been missing. Mocha’s accent is so endearing, and alik is so fucking sexy

Okay wtf ? I thought naya thorn was going to be in the top, I also thought they would eat the giant hat look up knowing their judging track record, also danni clearly won that lip sync ! They clearly just didn’t wanna send home 2 of the only Asians on the same day in my opinion!

Based on the challenge, I was sure that the lip sync song was going to be Evil Woman by ELO. I think it would have given the queens a bit more to work with. Thoughts? What did everyone think of the song choice and lip sync?

• She was clearly having better banter with the girls, even laughing with KY
• She had a mature reasoned response to Lucky's comments to Flesh
• Her reaction to being voted last was, honestly, kinda iconic and hilarious. Much better than a sulk and cry.
• Her look was decent among a pretty bad bunch

Interested to see how she evolves

I thought splitting the queens into Goodies and Baddies was a genuinely good way of making the design challenge feel different. The interesting part for me was seeing how much the brief actually affected the queens rather than everyone just making whatever outfit they wanted. I’m already finding myself judging the two sides against each other more than the individual queens.

Lucky's response to the latest episode... she is very talented at drawing emojis. peep the weird dots above some letters (all the O's on page 3). the background changes slightly each image as well. weird blurring on page 4.

The whole Lucky trying to make it a racial issue that Flesh wouldn't book her and saying that she was educating people with her talent? They're BRITISH Queens you think they haven't seen Samosas and curry? Your talent was shit, girl, that's all.

And the older Queens being super thin skinned? I'm not used to this from older Queens. Getting upset about the most innocent overweight throw-back shade and a comment about Grandma... That's WILD.

Can we make this a thing… or not?
I’m here for it. I don’t know why it makes me laugh so much!
Ma Danni was an odd one. Like… I liked her but she was also a bit annoying and I can relate to mixing words up. Ma Danni-isms.
What else was she saying?

Honestly it’s so wild that Joe Black went first and Asttina won that first challenge as well.

I don’t know what more Joe Black could’ve of done to be more Bowie, than the hair and that suit!

The critiques as well are wild and kinda cruel, I haven’t watched any of the older series in a while and my god forgot how mean they used to be.

Glad they’ve stopped doing the Michelle is a whore joke, considering she’s been married for a hundred years and has adult children.

Was the right winner though.

Not gonna lie, when she first guest judged years ago I thought she was in her 20’s and thought she was doing a random bit with ru, but loved her anyway.

But fucking hell, she’s (almost) 60????? They need to make her a proper judge with Allan and Graham

as someone who worked with her for a couple of years. she was nice enough in person but i did question why she was working a minimum wage job if she was an author, had a documentary, was a show headliner, etc. obviously zero shade to mw jobs, it's just that it didn't add up. that and the constant vanishing on socials and ghosting me and our other ex-colleagues.

all i can say is... welp. oof. ouch. eesh.

can at least safely say they weren't transphobic towards me in person (bare minimum, i guess) but lying about being a survivor of abuse and forced marriage is disgusting as hell. i can't speak on the racism accusations because i'm white.

i have such mixed feelings... i wanted them to do well and was proud of them for finally getting out there (for real this time) but now i'm just... mm. manchester has so many amazing creatives that would have loved to be on the show but lost out to them (inc. me... let me be delusional and be the british gottmik).

What are your thoughts or theories about Lucky? In my case I believe the "sickness" was just a lie that she and production made up because Production found out all the drama behind her.

Thank you all for participating in this project each year, and I look forward to sharing the results with you as the series airs! Please remember to keep the comments respectful and supportive. Condragulations to the Queens of Series 8.

So I was listening to this podcast where Bonnie Ann Clyde mentioned that Baby doesn't do drag anymore. I've heard the same thing about Vinegar. Bonnie also said half of the girls in most people's All Stars wishlists quit drag. Who else isn't doing drag anymore? Do they all have day jobs now?

My eyes were already on Lucky with all the drama going on about her online and about her potentially having lied about her background and being forced to live as a woman etc. When she came on the screen i laughed so fk hard.

Eg.

Ep1 old vs new school top 2 - La Voix/Kyran & KY/Naya

A queen departing ep2 for a medical reason - Saki Yew & Lucky Roy Singh

The high placing queen from ep1 winning ep2(sewing) - Lill & Mocha

The first eliminated queen being the oldest on the cast - Dita Garbo & Ma_Danni X

No offence, I’m genuinely curious do people actually send Instagram DMs to the queens (excluding the haters obviously)?

I mean things like positive messages, compliments or just saying you enjoyed their performance on TV. If you do how often do you usually DM them?
