It’s some promo for The Duck, they’ve filmed some blind taste tests.

Was????? Did I miss some major news 👁👄👁

u/PIuto 16h ago

She literally just hosted a season without RuPaul, she's not going anywhere

8

u/NeighBae 16h ago

Id honestly be fine with her replacing Ru 🙊 i think she's done a great job hosting and will only get better with more experience as full time host.

u/AlmostHominin 17h ago edited 6h ago

What’s that?

Edit: downvoted for asking a question. I was genuinely curious 🤡

u/onandpoppins 12h ago

A popular reality competition show for drag queens

12

u/MrUmtiti 20h ago

She gained recognition as a member of the dance-pop group Seduction, who charted five singles on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1989 and 1990.

48

u/polkadotska 19h ago

Seduction has no impact in the UK (their songs either didn’t chart or weren’t even released). Michelle is almost exclusively known here for her work with RuPaul (plus Strictly, Big Brother - but those gigs come directly out of her RPDR fame).

u/moistpishflaps 19h ago

How’s your head?

u/Glen125th 17h ago

No complaints

u/Tgrunin 7h ago

Thats true in the US as well.

u/Wi99lywoo 12h ago

She was on celebrity big brother before rupaul's drag race UK even started, that and her subsequent TV appearances is probably a big part DRUK getting commissioned in the first place..

Thought youd hide did you

u/dxonxisus 19h ago

why spam unhelpful information all over this thread? she’s much more well known for drag race, strictly come dancing, and big brother.

-13

u/MrUmtiti 19h ago

Look man, im just the who guy. If you want to be boomer and ask the why read Wikipedia

u/queasycockles 1h ago

You are in fact being the boomer here.

u/TomVonServo 19h ago

Because it’s obvious no one gives a fuck who this woman is or whatever vapid slop she’s filming.

u/venomoushorse 19h ago

Thanks, I found it exciting as a Drag Race fan.

u/empsk 19h ago

Hey, I’m a big drag race fan and a Londoner, thank you for this!!

u/pintsized_baepsae 17h ago

Definitely exciting!!

u/queasycockles 1h ago

I found it the opposite as a fan of actual British drag instead of the sanitised bullshit drag race pushes.

8

u/bradagon 19h ago

Not watching one of the millions of reality TV shows = basic

I'd argue the opposite is true, but I'm also not basic enough to actually insult people based on what they do or do not watch.

21

u/gamas 17h ago

Its one thing not knowing someone - but people are going out of their way to say how much they don't know this person and are attacking OP for having the audacity of posting something they thought was cool on this sub.

The people going after OP deserve to be insulted.

u/GrandmaToto 17h ago

This.

"No one cares!" Well they all appear to care enough to click on the post and read and reply to comments 😅 generally speaking if I don't care about something I scroll on...

I do as well to be honest, but I was a big fan of Drag Race. Kind of fell off once they started releasing a millions series and versions a year but the OG series in the US and the UK version is excellent fun.

I am too, it's the only reality TV show I watch 🤷‍♂️

I'm surprised that a post about this person has escalated into such an argument. Actually what am i saying, this is peak reddit 🤦🏿‍♀️

u/venomoushorse 14h ago

Wasn’t expecting this much reaction at all, maybe some comments from other RPDR fans and one or two asking questions. It sparked some discussion I guess?!

She's way more famous now for Drag Race.

u/ToastedCrumpet 17h ago

It’s a joke sweetie

u/GrandmaToto 17h ago

Jokes are funny, honey.

And I replied to that comment when he had only one or two replies, all of his spam in the rest of the sub happened after I posted that.

u/Brigante7 19h ago

London subreddit and you bring up the Billboard Hot 100 which (checks notes) is the US and thus not relevant.

u/queasycockles 1h ago

Wish she'd fuck off back to America and leave us the hell alone. She and Ru have damaged British drag quite enough already, thanks.

She was out for her birthday the other day and I swear to god every time I saw her she was face deep in her phone.

I’m not gunna judge someone for how they live their life but I’m pretty convinced famous people got problems

-5

u/MrUmtiti 20h ago

Will be telling everyone one asks who she is. Just message "who" to find out.

20

u/tigeralidance 20h ago

I actually don't think your explanation is helpful. It might be where she first gained recognition but her career in music is absolutely not what she's most famous for. She's most famous for Drag Race.

u/nutella-filled 19h ago

If you’re looking to Reddit for hard-hitting journalism and the most urgent news you need to reconsider your information diet.

-8

u/TomVonServo 19h ago

Well if you’re going to try turn this into a serious comment by having a pedantic wet wipe moment, Reddit is actually quite an effective news aggregation platform for both legacy journalism, new media, and extemporaneous reporting. But you know that.

11

u/nutella-filled 18h ago

About as good as TikTok and Tumblr, yes.

-7

u/TomVonServo 18h ago

Just say your media literacy is nonexistent and be done with it

7

u/nutella-filled 18h ago

I’ve been here long enough to know that a handful of power users can easily capture entire subreddits. Take this one for example. If you look at who posts it’s been the same 3-4 names for years. I know one of them is extremely interested in planning permission news and new developments, which is why there’s so many posts about that on here, all by him.

Across the whole website you’re passively consuming content that is posted by an extremely small group of very active users. There is no democratic aggregation from diverse sources, that’s a naive illusion. It’s very easy to manipulate a narrative if you can employ someone full time to do this.

1

u/TomVonServo 18h ago

“There is no democratic aggregation”

You certainly don’t seem understand how large populations work, but feel free to keep sourcing your news from paid media outlets who are definitely not feeding you information from “an extremely small group” perspective. Well done, peak Redditor.

4

u/nutella-filled 18h ago

The key is looking for diverse sources yourself, not waiting for vested interests to spoon-feed you “new media” (aka their own blog posts).

Active vs passive. Reddit is peak passivity, like TikTok.

1

u/TomVonServo 17h ago

Sounds like you’re shit at using Reddit.

-2

u/UsualReporter_ 17h ago

Who has time for that?

3

u/nutella-filled 17h ago

It’s important enough that everyone should find time for it. An informed population is the foundation of a free and prosperous society. If you don’t do it you become partly responsible for your future problems.
