RPDRUK S2 E6 - The Snatch Game

[Smithy]

Are we all perched?

Who do we expect to see play?

[UserSince2005]

yes after s1 being the best Snatch Game of all time there are very high hopes.

My completely random guesses

A'Whora - Kate Moss
Bimini Bon-Boulash - Pammy
Ellie Diamond - Kelly Osbourne
Lawrence Chaney - Michelle Mcmanners
Sister Sister - Sharon Osbourne
Tayce - Shirley Bassy
Tia Kofi - Meghan Markel

[Captain.Remy]

Tia Kofi for the win please! If she bombs it, she's out. And we want her to stay so she better deliver!
But I guess Lawrence will win this won't she?

I am so excited

[Shaun]

Prayer circle for everyone but Sister and Ellie :fc: (I don't hate them they are just the least interesting and need to go soon)

[Captain.Remy]

Btw, it's been a week and "UK, Hun?" is still playing VERY LOUD in my head and at the most random times. Like in a meeting, at 4am, while cooking etc :joker:

The entire 'Sister trying to come for Tia' segment ending with "Sister Sister copied my entire look... but at the end of the day, I got the badge, I wore it better, so **** you" :skull: :love:

[Smithy]

Bimini was better than Baga and Vivienne

First time I’ve actually laughed at snatch game

[Shaun]

Not Lawrence acting as Ru going around all the other girls asking them if they're going to be funny, "I don't think you're very funny" etc only to end up ****ing bombing :skull:

[Shaun]

This is a pretty great Snatch Game.

Tayce and Ellie are both doing great, Sister and A'Whora are good... it's just an obvious bottom two and an obvious winner. Tia deciding to choose Mel B because she'd have bigger hair is just... girl :facepalm:... does she not think things through?

"What's a Rampin Rabbit?"
"Well... you put it... in your... offorriririces" :laugh2: I just screamed

[Smithy]

Prayer circle for everyone but Sister and Ellie :fc: (I don't hate them they are just the least interesting and need to go soon)

Well you bloody jinxed that didn’t you

[Smithy]

God sister sister is such a **** :umm2:

[Smithy]

Ugh :(

[Smithy]

I think it was right that she went based on the challenge and lip sync, but she’s just so likeable :bawling:

“Are you sure? I haven’t got any plans” :skull:

[Braden]

I know I seem so anti-Bimini, but I didn't think her Katie Price was anything special. A’Whora and Sister Sister we're funnier, imo.

I thought Tayce was overpraised as well.

Interesting they've given the prehistoric theme a second run... it was supposed to be a runway during S10 of the US edition, but didn't get used... so Miz Cracker, Aquaria and Kameron Michaels used those looks for their "evil twin" episode.

Jessie Ware is a sweetheart :love: I can't think of one of her songs they'd use to lipsync to though :think:

Runways:
A'Whora - very good. I can see loads of you saying she's resting on sexy but... I mean.. why wouldn't you? It's a fantastic construction anyway.
Tayce - outstanding
Sister - it's... meh. The hair is weird, the dress is underwhelming.
Tia - I actually don't hate it? It's just... not wowing me.
Bimini - looks fantastic, even if you have to explain the theme.
Lawrence - horrific hair, and just... really boring and predictable.
Ellie - it's very "university night out". Meh. I'm guessing she'll get read for the basic boots.

----------------

Wait... A'WHORA is getting a low placement!? :umm2: Ellie is only safe, the same as Sister? :umm2: Don't get me wrong, a Bimini/Tayce top two is wonderful :love: but poor Ellie... really is getting the invisible edit :joker:

Welp, this is the end of Tia then :( no chance they're axing Lawrence.

I've...literally never heard of this song and I don't feel like I've been missing out :unsure: pretty poor lipsync in all... the outcome was obvious and not changed by either of them delivering a 4/10 performance.

"Don't shed a Tia, I guess Ru just ordered a coffee to go?" is a pretty good exit line :love:

[Captain.Remy]

Well, that was a very good snatch game tbh
It's the ones you expect to do good that do bad. Come on Tia and Lawrence, God damn it you could have won if you just thought this through!
To be fair, as much as I find her boring, Sister Sister did okay and deserved the safe spot. She made them laugh!
I would have switched Ellie and A'whora based on performance and outfit.
Bimini and Tayce are a well-deserving top 2. Advantage to Bimini for making me laugh a lot!

Runway wise, A'whora was great. I like the risk of being read for resting on sexy. But it was creative.
Tayce: very well executed and told a story.
Bimini's was outstanding and deserved even more her win.
The others were basic. I mean, once you have seen Aquaria wearing that inner saboteur look, anything that looks like bones and an animal print is by default basic.

In the end, poor Tia because she's so likeable and funny and adorable. Definitely the personality of the season! Loved the exit line, loved the aura too. :love: We need her on the international version of AS that I heard might be in the books!

Another solid episode, definitely putting S13 under the water. It's so exciting to watch it. UK1 was a good season because it was coherent. This year is very good because it's not polished and it keeps us on our toes.

[Captain.Remy]

Tia Kofi for the win please! If she bombs it, she's out. And we want her to stay so she better deliver!
But I guess Lawrence will win this won't she?

I would be an horrible psychic :skull:
and
I have jinxed Tia Kofi with my hopes of her winning :joker:

Underwhelmed

[Amy Jade]

asif Lawrence won that lip sync

[Daniel-X]

Overall a pretty good snatch game. Everyone did good besides the obvious bottom two.

Bimini was sooooo good at Pricey, one of my favourite snatch game impersonations ever. Her runway was my top toot of the week too. She seems to be getting a lot of fan support so I’m thinking she may be the only one who can usurp Lawrence :fc:

Tayce, A’Whora and Sister Sister (as much as it pains me to say) also killed the runway I thought.

Wtf at A’Whora getting a low placing :umm2: Ru and Michelle were screaming laughing at her? I ****ing hate the contrived editing of the show. I would’ve put her top or at least safe over Ellie personally.

The favouritism for Lawrence is REALLY irking me now. ‘Just be you in the snatch game!’ (A challenge where you impersonate celebrities) ‘everyone says that about you don’t they!’ ‘You’re a firecracker!’. Pass me the bucket :omgno:. Also I thought her runway was really weak for the pre-historic theme but alas the judges love her regardless.

Jessie Ware was annoying as ****.

Loved Tia but I don’t think she was polished enough to go all the way :sad: hopefully she’ll come back for an All Stars.

Rankings:

1. A’Whora
2. Bimini
3. Tayce
4. Ellie
5. Lawrence
6. Sister Sister

1. Tia
2. Asttina
3. Veronica
4. Cherry
5. Joe
6. Ginny

That top 3 is INCREDIBLE though and could change. Three of my favourites ever.

[Daniel-X]

This is definitely the best season since S10 and maybe even AS2. Meanwhile the current US season is probably the worst to date (bar S1/AS1)?

[Tom4784]

I wasn't too keen on the Snatch Game but it was a good episode over all. Bimini's Katie Price was one of the best SG performances in recent memory and I thought A'Whora got a bizarrely harsh critique for what was a pretty decent performance, it confuses me that she landed in the bottom when she got a better reaction than Ellie did.

[Tom4784]

Also I hope Ellie Diamond's dad gets shat on by pigeons every day for the rest of his life :love:

[Mokka]

But ha mother... a Queen among women :clap1: :clap1: :love:

[Mokka]

I've...literally never heard of this song and I don't feel like I've been missing out :unsure: pretty poor lipsync in all... the outcome was obvious and not changed by either of them delivering a 4/10 performance.

"Don't shed a Tia, I guess Ru just ordered a coffee to go?" is a pretty good exit line :love:

I'm relieved I wasn't the only one who didn't get the song. I thought it was some UK hit that never crossed the pond... but what a terrible song to have to lipsync to. Anyone would be pressed to do better than 4/10 with that.

I feel Tia has been practicing that line for 8 months now :think:

[Shaun]

Y'all thinking Ellie was the choice to replace A'Whora in the bottom three when she had one of the strongest impersonations and Sister Sister is sitting RIGHT THERE is an interesting turn of events! She might have made Michelle laugh with the great grandfather thing but... haven't we seen psychics on this show, like 4 times now, doing the same old "write the answer after the celebrity's given it, ha ha ha" shtick? And she sounded nothing like Sally Morgan.


Jessie Ware was annoying as ****.

Reported

[Samm]

shook at a'whora in the bottom 3, i thought she would be top 2 with bimini winning. both had the best runways as well.

[Black Dagger]

I honestly can't believe I was Bimini out in week 1, she's just a dynamic, charismatic hun and I wish her all the best in everything she does in life x

[Jessica.]

Bimini completely dominated the episode, I love her, so entertaining and talented.

[Tom4784]

The cast for this season is so good except for Sere-Sister Sister

[Gstar]

Enjoyed snatch game. Bimini was great this week

My top 3 are A’whora, Tayse and Bimini

It was Tia’s time to go. Loved her exit line

[Ammi]

....I loved how Bimini was with Ginny Lemon when she was so emotional..:lovedup:...but her talent also shone so much this episode as well, she was more Katie than Katie...and I probably loved her Snatch impression more than The Vivienne in season 1, just because also I think that Donald Trump is so impersonated by so many and very accurately impersonated...and Bimini’s amoeba runway style was just fabulous layered onto more fabulous...:love:...and the runways in general were fabulous this week, I thought...but she was still such a standout...we need Harry and Meghan to name their new baby, Bimini Bon Boulash Markle Windsor, I think...:flutter:...all the runways were pretty standout but a huge curtsy to Tayce as well...:love:...


...and Jessie Ware...:lovedup:...

I totally agree with you on everything, that runway was iconic

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK: Sister Sister Endures ‘Shocking’ Online Bullying...



Most fans of the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise are content to follow their favorite queens on social media to praise their looks and personalities. But every fandom has a dark side, and RuPaul’s Drag Race is no exception. Recently, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK queen Sister Sister has been overwhelmed by the hate she’s receiving online. The bullying has taken a toll on the blue-faced queen, but Sister Sister isn’t going to let some online trolls stop her from shining.

So far in season 2, Sister Sister has turned in good looks and performances but has been mostly coasting in the middle of the competition. She’s landed among the tops of the week but hasn’t yet secured a win. Sister Sister found herself in the bottom two in episode 4 and in a true show-must-go-on moment, she slayed her lip sync battle solo after Ginny Lemon walked off the show. Many fans consider her to be an underrated queen on the season, but others have been unnecessarily cruel to Sister Sister.

[Amy Jade]

It makes me so sad that people are so hateful like this, I don't personally like Sister Sister very much, I think she's a bit forgettable and obviously people will form opinions but why go on social media and attack them?

I heavily dislike Kandy and Tina on the US series but I'd never ever go on social media and tag them telling them they annoy the crap out of me

[Jessica.]

How very sad, she doesn't deserve the hate at all!

[UserSince2005]

Sister Sister is the star of the show, she will win.

[Captain.Remy]

She's not the best queen in the competition, but she doesn't deserve the hate. wtf.

[Ammi]

...yeah, the online is so sad and so wrong and it sadly seems like a growing thing in so many reality, type shows as well as other areas...such an awful thing for her...:sad:...


...on a more positive, I put the radio on earlier and it was The Vivienne in a segment, she was talking about Joe Black and the controversial H&M frock and Ru’s anger...and generally what a financial struggle it can be for queens even without the added COVID loss of work ...and I was thinking, how Ru has made the drag culture so much more mainstream with its audience so expanding out beyond LGBTQ...I mean, Ru and drag race is how I became a fan as well...and that’s really such a great thing...:love:... I love the expanding audience and also how the ‘controversial’ moments are reaching out to mainstream media and on TV and radio discussions as well...:lovedup:...as in the words of Davina and Emma...(..kind of...)...world, drag is coming to get you...:flutter:....

....she's never placed in the tops? She beat Ginny Lemon in the Who Wore It Best? challenge but the top three were Awhora, Lawrence and Bimini.
