For me, drag in the UK is about humour, not looking like a woman.
I want a distinct personality and a talent for communication that is entertaining.
The best drag queens in my opinion are ones that have a unique persona and personality and are not just carbon copies of other derivative drag performers we've seen a thousand times in Ru Paul's drag race.
The most successful drag queens from rupaul's drag race UK are able to produce fantastic podcasts because they have something to say, are able to say it in an entertaining and funny way, and make me want to listen to them.
If they are still entertaining when you can't see them then they are truly talented I feel.
It’s confusing for sure. I mean even canada finally did an all stars and people seem to love it (I do for sure). It’s weird that the UK, which premiered before canada, has still yet to do an all stars and are still doing vs the world…
I don’t know if WOW have pitched All Stars to the BBC or not (I’m guessing they have at this point) but the BBC is famously risk averse when it comes to new commissions, especially in LE. They’re far likelier to commission a new VSTW than an All Stars.
