Posted June 19, 20205 yr It was a close-run thing, but eventually original fan favourite from the series Divina De Campo emerged as our series winner, narrowly defeating dancer extraordinaire Cheryl Hole in the final vote. Divina was something of an underdog at the start of the show, showcasing quirky looks and well-known for her raucous laugh and wide open mouth. She gained sympathy from viewers in the season after spats with eventual winner The Vivienne who offered unsolicited advice and shady remarks disparaging Divina's experience and craft. She delivered an underwhelming Snatch Game, but excelled in the costume design, makeover, and girlgroup challenges, particularly the latter which she also arranged and choreographed, leading to the show's first triple win for herself, Blu and Baga as . Since the show, Divina has appeared in several theatre productions, music videos, and webseries. She has also been interviewed as a pride and drag ambassador on several national tv shows including This Morning and Lorraine as a result of her increased profile. Cheryl Hole's 2nd here is two spots above what she managed in the regular show, landing 4th after her ridiculosuly unfair exit following the makeover challenge. Cheryl was well-known on the show for her zany sense of humour and likeable character, as well as her terrible track record, placing Low nearly every week and B2 twice in only 7 episodes. Cheryl's best weeks occurred when she was Safe, following a breakout performance in her girlgroup challenge, and a memorable Snatch Game in which she played fellow Essex girl Gemma Collins. Since the show, Cheryl's leveraged her charm to feature on a few uk comedy panel shows and other tv appearances, as well as running her own tour with Blu Hydrangea. But when is she getting her own show?? Are you happy with our winner? Surprised with any of the results? Any strong or otherwise emotions to let out? Keep the chat going in the comments. And finally, thanks all for taking part! It's been a joy to run :D Full results are below: 1st - Divina De Campo 2nd - Cheryl Hole 3rd - Blu Hydrangea 4th - Crystal 5th - Sum Ting Wong 6th - Baga Chipz 7th - The Vivienne 8th - Vinegar Strokes 9th - Scaredy Kat 10th - Gothy Kendoll
June 19, 20205 yr I can't believe The Vivienne did so badly in this. She was so polished and funny. She certainly didn't deserve to come below SUM TING WONG (my fave drag name ever, but not a great drag queen.) Divina is FAB. Pleased she came out on top.
June 19, 20205 yr Also I don't clearly remember Cheryl leaving or the details of that episode, however I don't recall it being unfair. She had been lucky to cling on so long (this post makes me sound super old with zero memory, which is accurate x)
June 19, 20205 yr Divina's undeniably talented but not a particular fave. Justice for Cheryl, Blu and Sum Ting! Also I don't clearly remember Cheryl leaving or the details of that episode, however I don't recall it being unfair. She had been lucky to cling on so long (this post makes me sound super old with zero memory, which is accurate x) It was deffo unfair imo at least, she was literally the best in that episode. Michelle's critiques were so contrived (surprise surprise x) against her. It should've been Viv vs. Baga in the lip sync Edited June 19, 20205 yr by Andrew.

It should've been Viv vs. Baga in the lip sync Maybe I was biased then and it has muddled with my memory. I REALLY didn't think Cheryl deserved to be in the Top 3 so was happy for her to go. (I did like her personality though, just found her drag disappointing.)
June 19, 20205 yr Author Cheryl had by far the worst track record, but on the flipside, some of her lows were contrived to save Baga. Cheryl's makeover was not deserving of a Low either in that episode imo.

The fact Baga was safe with that scrubs outfit was an absolute farce, ANYONE else would've been read af.
June 19, 20205 yr My personal ranking: 01: Divina De Campo 02: Sum Ting Wong 03: Blu Hydrangea 04: Baga Chipz 05: The Vivienne 06: Crystal 07: Scaredy Kat 08: Gothy Kendoll 09: Vinegar Strokes 10: Cheryl Hole STW is my girl and I felt like she had a lot more to give despite her mistakes, and I know her personally, she's one of the most down-to-earth queens, although I can't deny that the series was for Divina to win. Viv is seriously grating as a person but I couldn't deny her talents. I actually only disliked Vinegar and Cheryl. Neither of which had much that they were good at - the former could act and the latter could dance but not a lot more, and they were both pretty irritating, Cheryl moreso.
June 20, 20205 yr Now I would probably rank it 01. Blu 02. Divina 03. Crystal 04. Sum Ting 05. Baga 06. Scaredy 07. Vivienne 08. Cheryl 09. Vinegar 10. Gothy I am happy enough!
June 20, 20205 yr 01. Cheryl Hole 02. Blu Hydrangea 03. Sum Ting Wong 04. The Vivienne 05. Crystal 06. Divina De Campo 07. Baga Chipz 08. Gothy Kendoll 09. Vinegar Strokes 10. Scaredy Kat
June 20, 20205 yr 1. Divina De Campo 2. Cheryl Hole 3. Blu Hydrangea is about as far as I can rank it, because after that it's really difficult to place Viv and Baga based on talent alone, and the rest for either not being the best or not having enough time to really flourish.
