I agree that Anita has zero business being in that bottom 3. I thought her first look and last look were amongst the best of the episode.

Flesh was the clear winner though! I found it strange that the judges unanimously loved Alik's first look... Those bikinis were mega shoddy...

On the whole Paris vs KY thing... Paris did completely have a point in this episode: but it's not only KY that she's rubbing off the wrong way, so that shows a level of unawareness (going by the edit, at least). I don't think KY would apologise and say Paris is a superstar if she doesn't mean it, but it does come across that she doesn't think things through fully before commenting/reacting. Maybe I'm biased as KY is the only one of these that I've seen (many times) before, but I don't think she has any bad intentions with what she's saying/joking about - the fact that she pretty much immediately apologised says that she can at least recognise when she's in the wrong?

Naya has been given a LOT of grace in both looks challenges now lol

I think Paris is getting a very kind edit compared to how messy she has been online.

That’s my issue with her. I wouldn’t say her on screen behaviour is as bad as Mistress or Plane but it’s SO forced, but without a doubt she’s much worse behind a keyboard. The main apologists and worshippers for her only come from Stan Twitter which makes a whole lot of sense as she’s a human embodiment of the crowd.

I left Stan Twitter because of how toxic it is. Constantly praising queens for bad behaviour.

It’s not even funny how far ahead Mocha and Coral are compared to everyone else here. I do think KY is very talented and polished and put together and knows exactly who she is too, then the rest are kind of just there to varying degrees.

That girl group challenge was…. rough

Sorry but those were both crap. Coral is really getting glazed too. She was on the struggle bus this challenge just like she was in the Rusical.

At this point I'm wondering if this was filmed with a tight timescale and they didn't have long enough to practice bc nobody really did amazingly here.

Anita kind of robbed tbh but I would've wanted to leave too if I was her, everyone else in that room has a weird scripted esque energy to them. You can't apologise robotically for doing something you deliberately and repeatedly did. You have to actually mean the words.

I mean in general, they were all shit this week but the song they got didn’t do anyone any favours. KY was probs about the best because it’s in her wheelhouse but I’d struggle to give anyone a win this week

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was filmed quick, wasn’t season 3 the same?? It kinda has that vibe where nobody is standing out much and it being rushed could be why it all feels quite muted

Really haven't been enjoying this season like I thought I would. Down there with Seasons 3 and 7.

That has got to be one of the worst challenges in all the UK seasons.

I’m really struggling to care about anyone there especially KY. She is just bulldozing and suffocating with her never ending arguments and drama, looks like next week will not be any different given the previews. One of the most unlikeable characters I’ve seen on UK drag race

Baffled by how strong the premiere was vs the rest of the season

Mocha is the only well rounded queen left, so she’ll probably come 5th x

Another week of KY being the absolute worst thing to come from Drag Race UK.

Given the girl group was always the challenge Drag Race UK excelled at, this was really really poor. Even when season 3 was an out and out disaster, BDE was the highlight of it. This was piss poor, none of the queens really got the assignment other than KY and Coral, the latter of whom got about half of the words and barely moved lol. Alik was good I guess,

Doesn’t help Phillipines just did an all timer episode of Drag Race with their girl groups just prior to this and showed it right up.

I thought that KY Kelly was going to be a lovable character from the MTQ promos. Now she’s one of the most unlikeable queens (if not THE most unlikeable one) to come from the show.

I don't quite understand this sudden, across-the-board hate for KY Kelly. And yes, her attitude over the past few episodes has irked me as well, but to call her the most unlikeable queen in UK herstory is a bit of a stretch lol!!!

Remember, everyone, this is a competition show! Some personalities are naturally stronger than others, and some queens are more confident and outspoken than others. That doesn't automatically make them unlikeable!!! You don't have to agree with or enjoy someone's attitude to acknowledge that there's a difference between being confident, being a bit abrasive, and being genuinely unlikeable.

I feel like sometimes people are way too quick to turn on a queen the moment her personality starts rubbing them the wrong way. We can criticise her behaviour without acting like she's suddenly the worst person to ever walk into the Werk Room!!!

I don’t think she’s horrible but I think she lacks manners and can’t read the room properly, nor can she take accountability when she upsets someone which is something her and Paris have in common. With Paris going I thought that KY would be a lot more chill from here on but it seems not by making comments about Anita and not apologising or even acknowledging that she was kicking a girl while she was down, and next week speaking in a pretty condescending way to Mocha - obviously we don’t know the context behind that yet but I don’t see how it’s going to be acceptable. Either way, I wouldn’t put her in the top 5 of most unlikeable queens to come from the UK franchise but she’s doing herself no favours.

Sad to lose Anita but this bottom placement she did deserve after being done dirty throughout her time on there, plus she didn’t even try in the lipsync, I very much could tell that she checked out the moment she heard that she was in the bottom. Naya turned that lipsync after completely bombing the challenge.

That challenge was definitely one of the girl group challenges ever. Alik deserved it out of everyone but I honestly would have given it to none of them.

The KY Kelly “drama” is bog standard drag race stuff tbh, she’s rude, a bit condescending, but I’m just not arsed rather than like despising her to this insane degree the internet seems to

I relistened to the songs on Spotify and Anita, bless her I liked her drag but god her verse really is atrocious. So is KY Kelly's!

This kind of personality steals all the air from the room and can’t seem to stop talking. Some people find it entertaining, and it is on some level, but I find it really exhausting and would never get along with a personality like that irl, that would be my nightmare :’)

Of course theres also an edit etc etc but she signed up for this show so it’s fair game to judge her character from what we are seeing.
