I just watched this video recapping all the KY drama and it was worse than I remembered lmao I forgot about that weird fake crying moment in untucked :’)

^ me the whole time @ KY during her roast and clapping back at the judges like that. Sure, there are times where I feel like some of the queens maybe do need to clap back on the main stage when the judges bring up some questionable things, but jeez this was one of those times where you should probably know when to shut the f*** up. Really glad she didn't make it to the final; such a nasty, horrible presence for like 90% of the season.

Naya and Flesh were lowkey the two best of the week, so yay for Naya winning ~

I think that Mocha is winning the season, even though Ru loves Naya the most. She doesn't always crown her #1 favourite of the season.

So that was not the outcome I expected... At any point of that episode oops

Not KY bringing the drama in an episode she wasn't even competing in too 🤣

I only just watched last week's ep too... I'm very conflicted about KY. I've always enjoyed her in person, and yes her style is very like me or lump me... But I can't lie, I did kinda want to climb out of my skin when she started roasting Paris 😭😭😭 Up until that section of the roast, she was easily the best of the bunch so it's a shame. I don't think that her "this is me, and I'm not going to change for anyone" mantra always helps her out, especially when receiving any negative critiques. I think she takes the critiques as an attack, when really they're being said so that she is able to learn from them.

That being said, would this season be memorable at all without her? ABSOLUTELY NOT. She's a pantomime villain, and this season was miles more memorable than last year's basically because of her and Paris.

There were a few queens I also liked... But in a come back to All Stars in a couple of years kinda way, but overall it's been a bit eh

I prefer Flesh to Bones but Mocha was by far my winner. Flesh has been my fave of her family actually, I find her more likeable and I think she’s been just as well rounded as Bones, it does feel a bit flat that they crowned her right after that, but that’s not her fault though. For me she easily could have been in the top for the acting challenge and got another win and she handily deserved the two she did get. She also absolutely ate that last verse tbf

Have to agree she was the winner I least expected, I really thought Naya had it with the momentum of the last few episodes but she was the weakest for me, she definitely needs a few years to bake.

I genuinely would’ve been happy with any of the 4 winning so I’m perfectly fine with this outcome but Mocha was definitely my winner & I was also gobsmacked by Flesh winning

Naya and Mocha's reactions are priceless tbh

I was kinda gagged that Flesh won! I’d not really even considered her winning given that Bones won last year, but I think she is the most polished out of all the finalists and slayed the final challenge so it’s well deserved.

Mocha did struggle a bit towards the end of the competition and Naya has room to grow as a queen but I’m excited to see what they both do next.

Also, hilarious that Paris won congeniality although she was speaking very sensibly in the final untucked.

Overall a really solid season. I’ll miss seeing a new bunch of queens next year but bring on All Stars!!

Flesh is a gorgeous girlie and her aesthetic is stun but I can't with that family being the most successful Drag Race family ever when they barely have a drop of charisma between them

My personal rejudging. Definitely going to have some controversial picks here i think. Also added context - for girl groups since KY isn’t there but Paris is, I moved Mocha to the other team & put Paris in S.P.F. & the high placement is because i thought her verse & choreo were really good she would’ve carried that team imo

They're like the Dion drag dynasty if the Dion drag dynasty were evil (winning instead of losing)

Flesh is definitely the best of the house of Versace IMO, but oh my god... me and Patrick were absolutely gagged watching it. It did not come to my mind that Flesh would win!!!! Not over Mocha who is probably one of the UK Drag Race all-timers.

If Bones / KV hadn't both won in the past, I would be more open to Flesh winning, but THREE of that house winning has set such a bad precedent for how drag is going and gonna go in the UK going forward. You're telling me that the puss puss magoose drag aesthetic is now gonna be validated even more amongst lazy local queens, rather than personality-based / visually-crafted camp?

There was a video posted online with Actavia interviewing one of our local Glasgow queens and she likened Glasgow to "Soho if it fell off a cliff", which is representative of the local lot (who have been doing drag for years yet are not that booked - there really isn't many of us who are booked that regularly, I'm probably one of the more booked queens and that's saying something) spending money to try and look puss on Instagram and that being rewarded, but they all just perform KATSEYE and ADELA et al and cannot host/connect to a person to save their lives!!!!

Really think next season, the camp needs to be embraced, as the sterilisation of drag output as an Insta-grid aesthetic is not the one!

Drag Katseye and Adela 😅

when it comes to KATSEYE I absolutely will

(I rly like ADELA tho LOL but I also like variety xxxx)

Definitely not the winner I expected and she doesn’t feel like a winner at all really but I have enjoyed her and she surpassed my expectations of how she’s performed and the type of queen she’d be as the weeks went on. Still wish it was Naya though, she absolutely felt like the one who was there!

They also 100% voted for Paris as a joke lmao I don’t think any of them were arsed.

Agreed!!! I think if any of them deserved to win I think Flesh did but it sets a dangerous precedent.

The whole charm of UK drag is the camp drag that has driven the scene for decades, I want to see on Drag Race what I’d see in any city on a Saturday night. You’d see stuff like what Naya does or what Mocha does, but I wouldn’t be arsed to go out and see a skinny queen who looks pretty. It’s a valid way to do drag, fine, but it’s not at all entertaining or intriguing to see on a huge competition stage on TV. It’s the Drag Race over drag argument, we’re seeing a new wave of queens starting drag due to loving Drag Race and that’s fine, good even, but it often dampens what we love of the actual scene. And it’s probably the case in a lot of countries, but it’s most frustrating here when we’ve seen what the country has to offer.

It also feeds the awful fans who think that the only valid drag is what they see from Insta glam queens on Drag Race and then send hate to any queen who isn’t that :’)

What a fitting ending to an abysmal season.

You think 6 is the best season?!

I agree, I thought 6 was the best season too. La Voix not winning was an utter crime though!

Wait

I have lost sense of time and space, I thought 7 was 6. I was worried you had been dropped on your head

6 was actually wonderful, you're right. Marmalade 4ever

Oh wait... just seen this! 😂

I guess it depends who you are. To me, she’s lovely and to those who she likes, she’s lovely. But I was watching it in her main residency bar last night (where I used to work) and it’s quite telling that two of her fellow queens there were watching her demise with GLEE. She’s got many an enemy in Manchester because she’s quite ruthless with the queens, or at least has been in the past.

And when she went to film, myself and several colleagues immediately said “well, it’s about time they had a villain” and it’s more than come to fruition 😂

I think this will be a big lesson to her. She’s kind of the cabaret queen of Manchester, has performed in West End etc, and I think some of the insecurity of not being top dog here has slowly but surely swallowed her, until it reached its head last night. Truthfully, I feel very sorry for her though, I saw her a fortnight ago and she seemed very grateful to still have people there for her, she’s lost nearly 5 stone since filming and is definitely taking it all very hard even if she’s too proud to admit that, it’s clear to see.

But hey, when we come back to thinking of Season 8, I truthfully do think it’ll be Paris and KY that we remember, and they’ve contributed to making this a much more dramatic and entertaining season than 7 without a doubt.

You are so lovely! What an insightful summary, it comes across as kind but honest and fair. ❤️

I'll admit, I really disliked KY on this show (and Paris too) but she did have moments of redemption. I think she was very unaware of herself and some reflection and acknowledgment would go a long way in helping her. I was gagged when she spoke back to the judges though,👀 gotta give her credit, she has got balls (in more ways than one 🤭).

Wait, what is this? Am I missing something? Surely they knew as she was crowned on the show? 🧐 I'm confused.

Regarding the outcome... erm yeah it happened I guess. To give Flesh their dues, they totally ate that music video and that runway outfit was sensational. Their lip-sync was utterly abysmal though, I said to my husband that "You know what Flesh has had the best night tonight" then watching Naya and Mocha absolutely EAT the lip-sync while Flesh basically stepped out of their dress and then just there looking like a rabbit in the headlights I said "yep she just blew it!" I was expecting one of the other two to take it and was championing Naya personally (but more because I really liked them as a person too, Mocha I can take or leave).

I also agree with the comments about too many wins from one "house." Ru is hardly a "looks" queen herself so I'm surprised that more credit isn't given to the true comedy and cabaret Queens who seem to get passed over time and time again (La Voix we are all looking at you, the best drag Queen on the entire show), over the last few seasons for the "Instagram" queens.

So yeah mixed feelings about that tbh, not the greatest season.

(Apologies to mod for the multi-posts I was reading through and commenting as I went - do feel this and the last post are very standalone ones though, however understand if they need to be edited into one).

They film all finalists (usually the top two, but obviously a top three this time) being crowned and decide on the winner/edit later.

I think the consensus online was that it was between Mocha and Naya, hence the shooketh faces
