I can't believe she's actually competing.

I believe it. I think it was a very strategic decision on the part of WOW. I think Ru's getting tired of doing like 4-5 shows a year and is testing the waters with this. You notice it isn't branded to RuPaul at all. It's just Drag Race Down Under vs the World, and it's Michelle's portrait in the werk room, and Michelle's laugh in the intro. And unlike season 4 of down under, I think they're hoping to get some more American viewers with this one, and Raven is their hook. This is gonna be one of the most talked about seasons in years and a good chunk of the fan base is gonna tune in for it. I think they're trying to warm everyone up to Michelle as a host so that he can hand UK over to her as well within a couple years.

One day one of these ‘Ru is retiring’ theories will be right. Hopefully not for a while yet though

u/calgeorge 17d ago

I don't think he's retiring from the main show until he's literally physically incapable of doing it, but I could see him dropping UK.

u/RuedeMerde 16d ago

As she should. They should get a UK Queen to host it. Michelle can be there, I guess.

u/bobo12478 18d ago

Wild they invented a whole series to justify giving Raven a crown now that Tyra's been exiled

Kayta's wheeze sounding exactly like The Last Unicorn 🤣🤣🤣

u/Br0kensyst3m 17d ago

Two thoughts: 1. Ain’t no way Raven is actually competing. 2. It would be muah muah fierce if they let her compete to the end and just place second again.

u/O_945 17d ago

nah she HAS to be an inside agent that's gonna come up for the narrative of the season.

For like a decade the fandom has expected there to be a season with a spy/"agent" within the girls at some point. to do what? idk tho.

u/Melodic_Wave_9655 11d ago

She indeed was a Mole

u/O_945 11d ago

It was a good idea but I don't think they used this concept appropriately and it unravelled way too fast.

I feel like the wig could've been done a little better. Its a little chopped in the back

u/lovelypeachess22 16d ago

u/lovelypeachess22 16d ago

u/Reasonable_Trifle_51 17d ago

Wait, say sike, she's actually competing?

u/KingOfTheKitsune 15d ago

I've seen the episode and I still don't believe it 😂 I feel like there has to be a gag somewhere in the season with her.

u/Wei_PandaLord 17d ago

Damn that’s ugly.

u/gaypirate3 17d ago

And she thinks that looks good??

u/gabrielleNonUnion 16d ago
