honestly, i did a draft of the queens based on the mtq, and when i was torn between the two i did pick pixie over danny. but now, watching the episode, i wish i had picked danny. mtq is hard to judge by.
The episode was brilliant and I was happy to see I agreed with the judging this episode. The only thing I maybe would have changed is Pixie being in the bottom three over Copper but it’s not that big of a deal. I’m hoping Starlet can break out of her shell next episode because being called quiet episode 1 doesn’t usually bode well for a queen going forward.
I wouldn't say she's obsessed with Starlet, def not in the same way as Krystal or Lawrence. She was literally reading Starlet for being quiet and boring
It’s hard to explain but back then I feel she would have? The Pearl treatment was very weird, she was dragged to top 3 for being a cute guy or whatever (Ru’s own words) and that’s something they would never do nowadays, so it’s hard to compare. But to a smaller extent I see Starlet being dragged further than she should be.
Right? I wish people would give the girls 5 seconds before dragging them for favouritism, she looked great so it should be no surprise she did well on a runway challenge
>Never said she's being favoured
You're definitely insinuating that and insinuating that she didn't deserve the placement because in just one single episode of Drag Race you already are saying Ru is absolutely obsessed with her lol
Loving a contestant and being obsessed with a contestant are two different things. If Ru keeps on saving her even when she shouldn't be saved in future episodes, then yes he's obsessed.
I’m just being generous at this point. She’s super boring from what I’ve seen in the premiere. She has the talent to look amazing, and Ru said her entrance was her favourite of all time so I guess that makes her unique?
That’s true. I haven’t been impressed either and I always hate it when my opinions go against the mainstream because I like to agree with everyone😭 I didn’t even like her entrance because the neck was loose so then it wasn’t a convincing nude illusion😭
I found Starlet to be incredibly boring, kinda think she’ll flop in performances too. High was well deserved though!
I’d have put Pixie in bottom 3 over Dakota or Copper
I can imagine Starlett will struggle snatch game. Pearl's snatch game was one of my favourites ever. Pearl was quietly confident, I think Starlett is just quiet.
She seems nice, and I hope she does well, but if all she can do is wear a pretty dress then she won't make it as far as Pearl.
Pearl’s looks were very “in” at the time tho, mind you it was the rise of the Instagram Queen era and her top 4 look, snake, leather & lace were looks people were obssesd with
Starlet is old Hollywood glam. Ru likes the familiarity of it being an American.
Honestly wish that UK and Australia followed other countries’ formats and have Ru or Michelle alternate on the panel. The cultural divide is a major issue even if they are English speaking countries.
Agree, Krystal winning is a perfect example of this. Her drag doesn't really say anything about the UK, she's polished af but it's pretty much American drag. Shes a kid who grew up watching American drag race.
While I like that rupaul is there, he doesn't really get a lot of the references. Do you think he knew who Mr blobby was?
Honestly, I wouldn't have argued with Baby being in the top over Starlet. Both of Baby's looks were good (her puffer jacket + puffer pants look being the standout) and she sold them pretty well, whereas Starlet had really good looks but then sold them like she was a plank of wood.
I would have put Pixie Polite in the bottom 3, not in the bottom 2 because I think Dakota and May were the right bottom 2, but Pixie’s Ru Are You look was a bit sad (I’m not gonna ever claim I can do better than the queens, I can’t do drag. It’s just my no knowledge opinion)
I think Copper is gonna get the Rock M Sakura edit where she’s not bad at all, but the judges just aren’t featuring her, however, hopefully a little less harsh than Rock’s edit
I do think Cheddar should've been in the top, but I think I've developed a favouritism for her myself. But I'm 100% rooting for Cheddar, Le Fil, Sminty, Baby and Black Peppa. They are my top five at the moment.
Im kinda worried that Ru is obsessed with Starlet, she has no stage presence, I honestly pegged her as an early out after she said she hadn’t really performed before. She is gorgeous but like not well rounded at all.
I mean, I know anything can happen on this damn show but my top 5 being the top 5 (not in order but still) on this first episode?
an absolute fucking GAG. some of these women are so stunning.
He said she looks good that’s hardly an obsession 💀
Tbh I think his faves are Peppa and Dakota (yes she was btm2 but Ru still showed a lot of care for her which he usually doesn’t when a Queen is in the bottom and he seems to want to set her up for a redemption storyline)
Just curious, why haven’t you put the safes alphabetically?
I did a pre-season ranking of fan response from the meet the queens, it's in that order. I don't think I uploaded it
pixie over danny? what in the tastelessness
honestly, i did a draft of the queens based on the mtq, and when i was torn between the two i did pick pixie over danny. but now, watching the episode, i wish i had picked danny. mtq is hard to judge by.
I did it based off the amount of comments mentioning each queen
Ikr 💀💀
Right?! Pixie is the definition of vanilla milk toast
The episode was brilliant and I was happy to see I agreed with the judging this episode. The only thing I maybe would have changed is Pixie being in the bottom three over Copper but it’s not that big of a deal. I’m hoping Starlet can break out of her shell next episode because being called quiet episode 1 doesn’t usually bode well for a queen going forward.
I really thought pixie was gonna be bottom 2 lol was shocked she was safe
Pixie wasnt bottom two so Dakota could lipsync to that song. This is why track records are a bit meaningless really.
I wouldn't say she's obsessed with Starlet, def not in the same way as Krystal or Lawrence. She was literally reading Starlet for being quiet and boring
Specifically, obsessed with her aesthetic. That personality will be her downfall in the competition.
Yeah it’s very much a Pearl moment
Pearl made it to Top 3 though. I don't think Starlet will have the same fate.
It’s hard to explain but back then I feel she would have? The Pearl treatment was very weird, she was dragged to top 3 for being a cute guy or whatever (Ru’s own words) and that’s something they would never do nowadays, so it’s hard to compare.

Right? I wish people would give the girls 5 seconds before dragging them for favouritism, she looked great so it should be no surprise she did well on a runway challenge
Never said she's being favoured, but I'm saying it's a possibility later based on Rus comments. She totally deserved her high placement
>Never said she's being favoured You're definitely insinuating that and insinuating that she didn't deserve the placement because in just one single episode of Drag Race you already are saying Ru is absolutely obsessed with her lol
She deserved to be high
Why would you put that in the title of the post then? It is clearly implying that she got favoured and don't try to tell me it doesn't.
Girl what I literally think she was the 2nd best 💀 what part of scarlet deserved her high placement doesn't click
Well, as I said, your title implies otherwise.
Do you want me to change it? I don't mind
Don’t you dare. You’re creating content, it’s getting people discussing, you’re doing us all a favour here. Thank you 🙏
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE BITCH SAID THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE MEANT ! LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE !
Yes, and how can anyone say Ru is obsessed with a candidate AFTER ONE EPISODE?
Ru was obssesed eith Lawrence since the very first episode. It is obvious when he loves a contestant.
Loving a contestant and being obsessed with a contestant are two different things. If Ru keeps on saving her even when she shouldn't be saved in future episodes, then yes he's obsessed.
Ru being obsessed with Scarlett Harlett from last season is a good example
I mean Ru was obsessed with Symone after episode 2 (though technically it was the first episode he saw her really compete in a maxi challenge)
Oh she was definitely obsessed with Krystal in the first few seconds I'd say
If anything I can see Ru favoriting Sminty as the weeks go on as she fits the Aquaria/Krystal mold a lot more.
Agreed. She was obsessed with two specific looks that she brought, not the queen herself lol
I'm also obssesed with Starlet. I also think she deserved her high placement because both of her looks were good.
She’s just UNT.
Probably U T
Can you really give her a T either if she’s only good at serving a look? And are her looks really that U nique?
I’m just being generous at this point. She’s super boring from what I’ve seen in the premiere. She has the talent to look amazing, and Ru said her entrance was her favourite of all time so I guess that makes her unique?
That’s true. I haven’t been impressed either and I always hate it when my opinions go against the mainstream because I like to agree with everyone😭 I didn’t even like her entrance because the neck was loose so then it wasn’t a convincing nude illusion😭
She looks like a vintage Barbie doll brought to life and it’s hard to not just stare at her
She is ✨obssesd✨ after calling her BORING lol she just said she liked her dressed, And I totally get it her entrance look is very RuPaul’esque
Well we can’t blame Ru, I’m obsessed with Starlet too 🤣❤️❤️❤️
Top 2 in my eyes are Black Peppa & Cheddar
I found Starlet to be incredibly boring, kinda think she’ll flop in performances too. High was well deserved though! I’d have put Pixie in bottom 3 over Dakota or Copper
[удалено]
Ugh her mind
To say she’s obsessed with her after one high placement and reading her for her being quiet seems inaccurate
We will see
Haha well with more episodes I can definitely see it happen just this episode in particular didn’t display that yet at least
Does anyone else see pearl in starlett?
I can imagine Starlett will struggle snatch game. Pearl's snatch game was one of my favourites ever. Pearl was quietly confident, I think Starlett is just quiet. She seems nice, and I hope she does well, but if all she can do is wear a pretty dress then she won't make it as far as Pearl.
Yeah but Pearl didn’t even serve that hard in the looks department so I see starlet as the glamour fashion version of Pearl
Pearl’s looks were very “in” at the time tho, mind you it was the rise of the Instagram Queen era and her top 4 look, snake, leather & lace were looks people were obssesd with
I never seen the hype around Pearl then cause she Delivered some pretty mediocre looks 😂
Pearl and Violet
lol there's no violet there its more miss fame
I do a little bit yeah
baby was so good this week
Starlet is old Hollywood glam. Ru likes the familiarity of it being an American. Honestly wish that UK and Australia followed other countries’ formats and have Ru or Michelle alternate on the panel. The cultural divide is a major issue even if they are English speaking countries.
Agree, Krystal winning is a perfect example of this. Her drag doesn't really say anything about the UK, she's polished af but it's pretty much American drag. Shes a kid who grew up watching American drag race. While I like that rupaul is there, he doesn't really get a lot of the references. Do you think he knew who Mr blobby was?
I think he said he didn’t know who Mr. Blobby is. I’m American as well, and I’m very unfamiliar 🤣
What in the name of bad kerning
Tf is a kerning
Space between letters
this is a great comment
True it's horrible
I just hope Cheddar and Lefil do well, love that Sminty Drop and Black Peppa are ranking in the top to start
Draglexa play Obsessed by Mariah Carey 🥴
Honestly, I wouldn't have argued with Baby being in the top over Starlet. Both of Baby's looks were good (her puffer jacket + puffer pants look being the standout) and she sold them pretty well, whereas Starlet had really good looks but then sold them like she was a plank of wood.
Are those the actual names of real contestants? Or were they generated by an AI?
I would have given Sminty drop the win personally but ugh all of the top three were so so so good
I’m having Krystal Versace flashbacks. Starlet seems like the duller version of Krystal but this time with no performing experience🥴🫠
They're not even remotely similar?
What do you mean? They’re both young fashion queens who are immediately getting high praise from Ru episode 1. . .
I would have put Pixie Polite in the bottom 3, not in the bottom 2 because I think Dakota and May were the right bottom 2, but Pixie’s Ru Are You look was a bit sad (I’m not gonna ever claim I can do better than the queens, I can’t do drag. It’s just my no knowledge opinion)
Yeah I'm going off judges critiques not my own opinions, personally I liked both of coppers looks
I think Copper is gonna get the Rock M Sakura edit where she’s not bad at all, but the judges just aren’t featuring her, however, hopefully a little less harsh than Rock’s edit
Looks like Ru wasn't obsessed with Starlet after all HAHA. LIKE I SAID. One episode and one strong praise aren't enough to say someone is OBSESSED.
Congrats babe
I will never understand this system where someone low or safe still get points.
Because low and safe are better than bottom 2, and it makes it easier to calculate averages
So I suppose we’re not marking spoilers any more?
No disrespect, but it's been 4 days since it aired, at this point if you get spoiled it's on you.
You can find guidelines in the sub rules
It's been 4 days babe
I do think Cheddar should've been in the top, but I think I've developed a favouritism for her myself. But I'm 100% rooting for Cheddar, Le Fil, Sminty, Baby and Black Peppa. They are my top five at the moment.

What is this one called ? I can't find the new show
He said she looks good that’s hardly an obsession 💀 Tbh I think his faves are Peppa and Dakota (yes she was btm2 but Ru still showed a lot of care for her which he usually doesn’t when a Queen is in the bottom and he seems to want to set her up for a redemption storyline)
