Josh!

Always enjoy your write-ups Jordan, they're a pleasure! Looking forward to seeing what appears.

Hi Lewis 2021 was the year of Maisie Peters for me!! She was my biggest discovery without doubt. It was nice to see her breakthrough into the mainstream a bit with 'Psycho' and the album too. Can't wait to see where she goes from here. I'm with you where there was just something about 'Love (Sweet Love)' that didn't click and I'm not even sure what it was really. I love a good female vocal moment and Perrie is doing the most on the track so it'd normally be the sort of thing I love. Saying that, I loved 'No' and it was even more of a flop so oh well.

Hi Pete I love what you said about Sigrid's 'Mirror'. It really does have that addictive quality to it where you could easily listen to it again and again. Shame it didn't quite break through to be a top 40 hit. I thought 'Burning Bridges' was even more additive. I hope that's not the last we see of her in the charts! Looking forward to the rest.

Hi Ansel, love the effort you've put into doing chart histories and everything. I remember the days of having such dedication! Super cool stuff. Totally agree with you with your comment that Avril should be smashing like good 4 u has. I feel like she has so much nostalgic goodwill towards her but I'd love it to turn into a bit of a hit!! Can't wait for the album if it's as fun as this. Nice to see you give CHVRCHES such nice comments too. Although 'Violent Delights' is noticeably missing from your commentary. Are you not a fan? It's the album highlight for me!

Gutted at this!! I thought she served the best runways of the season, she was so polished and she was funny out of drag too in her confessionals. She seems like a great spokesperson off the show too and I just think would be a better first winner representation than Kita (who would be a fine 5th place in most seasons). I could've done without Karen early on though, wouldn't have missed her lol.

Excited to see what you do with this season. I hope you're as big an Art Simone fan as I am.

Well I hope you can get some good ideas for recommendations from my faves, haha! What films have you seen this year? x

After watching the episode, I must admit it was an odd choice for the crowning although I'm quite happy with the choice. Farida smashed the episode really. Her verse was the most exciting, her finale runway with the golden birds was breathtaking (but we're used to that from her now) and her lipsync seemed the most emotional too. Elecktra's feather runway was stun too & she did well in the reading challenge but I'm not sure how they even justified between themselves crowning her instead, lol. She seemed really humbled by the win though and her speech was quite touching compared to the usual 'I'm the best' schtick.

Queen! I liked her so I'm happy. Not watched the episode yet but she must have had a bloody good episode because Farida seemed like the only reasonable choice for winner since episode 1? I thought she'd walk it!

Happy with the winner, kind of. Don't really know what the point is in inviting people back again and again until they win. But they were very strong throughout the season, and they seem to really love what they do which is quite infectious to watch. I'd be fuming if I was Saint though... after feeling not good enough the first time and then winning an All Stars to come back and compete on a regular season and lose to the person you beat in the All Stars, hahahhaha!!! Hoso absolutely smashed the finale though. They had the best runway each time out of all three. To be so raw about cancer and racism against the East in her horror/filth was so interesting to watch (& important, ofc!). Sigourney is my contestant of the season. Loved her attitude throughout and she was just so f***ing cool. I hope it's not the last we see of her even though I'm not sure how much more she can give either tbh, lol.

Priyanka stealing the show! She's had such a fabulous reign - gutted it's over! Not my winner but she had a good week. Kendall was really way out of her depth. Especially in comparison to half of the eliminated queens tbh hahaha... all of Kimora Amour, Adriana & Stephanie Prince looked STUNNING.

spill!

Who do you think will win? (choose one) - Kornbread Who's going to be an early out? (multiple choice) Orion Story Which queens did YOU like the most? (multiple choice) Bosco! I reckon the final 4 could be Kornbread, Bosco, Willow Pill & Angeria.

Yeah, how on EARTH did you get tickets? We had ourselves in the queue on about three devices and the highest we were was about 6000th, ahahha. The Glasgow venue only holds about 2,500 people!! We didn't stand a chance :( I'm absolutely gutted too. I'm hoping Jack is right with what he says above. Skip the Hydro and upgrade straight to Hampden Park! :lol:

I'm tempted to get tickets to the tour based on how strong this cast is! I think if both Hoso & Sigourney make it then it'll justify the cost of the ticket and then some. They're two of my faves from any franchise this year even.

Pythia is the only possible winner for me. I think it speaks for itself just in how awe many of the reunion queens were at her constant creativity and dedication to her drag. Despite that, she quite clearly lost both the lip syncs so it felt kinda harsh on poor Gia. If they were gonna save Pythia then just do a top four finale and 'shantay, you stay' them all! I felt bad they didn't single out Gia as a look queen either because she's probably served some of the most high concept, expensive looking drag outfits of the season. Icesis will win though. Fair enough to her. She's an all rounder and proved herself to be good at pretty much everything. I don't find myself massively enjoying her screentime though. She's really missing a spark for me which makes her my least favourite of the entire top five tbh.

This has been the easiest thing I've ever voted in. I still wanted Bimini to win but Lawrence is such an all-rounder and one of the strongest winners the franchise has had at the end of the day. Viv was good too but really rather unlikeable. Krystal was meh the whole season to be honest and her being so favoured by Ru was just a wind up to watch as an audience member. The winners of Drag Race this year have been going from weak to weaker tbh. Looking at the franchise as a whole... Vanessa Van Cartier, Kylie Sonique Love, Kita Mean and now Krystal have all been very average (or below average even) winners.

I enjoyed this! Farida for the win - she seems like a star! Not sure about the double shantay when there's only six episodes anyway. Laquisha was pretty naff and wouldn't have been a miss. I also thought Ivana Vamp being high was a literal joke but I kinda like her anyway so oh well.

Ella! She's proved herself to be a real all rounder and a professional. But I think Ru has such a soft spot for Krystal that she might pull off the win.

Three seasons in to the UK version of the franchise now and they could definitely think about an All Stars with a really strong line-up. Who would you like to see on it? Mine would be: 1. Divina De Campo 2. Baga Chipz 3. Blu Hydrangea - 4. Tia Kofi 5. Bimini Bon Boulash 6. Tayce 7. Veronica Green 8. A'whora - 9. Kitty Scott Claus 10. Choriza May 11. River Medway 12. Vanity Milan If they wanted to go for a 10 queen season then maybe do without Vanity/Veronica. I think Divina, Blu, Bimini & A'whora would be our finalists here!

1 Choriza May 2 River Medway 3 Ella Vaday 4 Kitty Scott Claus 5 Vanity Milan 6 Krystal Versace 7 Scarlett Harlett The less said about the remaining queens, the better. I like Ella and that's it really. Kitty is funny but constantly given free passes for poor runways. Scarlett has become really unlikeable in the last three weeks. Krystal has been unlikeable since the beginning! & Vanity is waaaay out of her depth.

01 Choriza May 02 River Medway 03 Charity Kase 04 Ella Vaday 05 Vanity Milan 06 Kitty Scott Claus 07 Krystal Versace 08 Scarlett Harlett With Charity now gone, I'm only rooting for the top two really. Shame

Jade and Merrie were by FAR the worst? Very odd judging. I love Bitter Betty and Hoso already!! Can’t wait to see more x
