ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted November 21, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted November 21, 2022 13 minutes ago, Both Sides Now said: Bimini posted on Instagram after the S2 tour that they are moving away from drag and more focusing on a career as a non-binary model/performer. This is also when they dropped the “Bon Boulash”. So in that sense, I don’t think they identify as a drag queen anymore even if their aesthetic has remained the same.  Bimini didn’t go to drag con and I doubt we will ever see her on another drag race franchise as long as they are getting booked. That’s why I think Lawrence was a better pick as a winner because she is a drag Queen through and through and still invested in the franchise.  I’m not sure if Bimini still performs in their old haunts. If they do, I’d say it would just be for a fun throwback. I was lucky enough to see her years and years ago in Bethnal Green WMC but I don’t think the performers are paid more than £200 for a night those venues. I’d say Bimini’s booking fee is at least £2k for a local gig now. Ah, I see what you mean then. I guess I wouldn't describe her career as "abandoning drag"; she may be working against the label, but is still doing drag performances, working with other drag queens, etc. If anything, maybe she offers better representation than Lawrence because she is more transgressive and is queering drag after Drag Race made it too mainstream and normative  I know she's performing at a House of Trash NYE event. Wish I lived in London and could go. I want to see her perform live so bad  13 minutes ago, Hephaestus said: Not Jonbers having more likes than Peppa, I've truly seen it all Well, to be fair, I like BP a whole lot better, but I also think that Jonbers is more deserving of the crown based on season performance so  (But I'm not voting for anyone.)
shark_heather Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 The fact that when i watched episode 1 i was sure that BP will be the winner ( was time also for UK to have a Black Winner ) ... if i only knew HOW BAD she will bomb almost all the other episodes  Cheddar is good but nothing impressive. Remindes of a mix of Chad Michaels and Sasha but in a way lower quality  Danny is great . Unique, full rounded and also he should have won the makeover challenge  The other one with the horrible name ... well , Ru pushed her like no other . Im sure she will appear on an all star at some point   Ps. I love Krystal and Bimini should have won ( Lawrence was at her best just a mediocre)
Shinning Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 I’m rooting for Danny tbh. I wasn’t into her in the beginning of the season but damn did she perform well, her looks were INCREDIBLE (despite me not usually stanning bearded queens) and she’s super charming. And I just didn’t connect with Cheddar. Obviously talented and professional and extremely competent but just isn’t a fun drag queen for me. Quite a drab at times actually.
Relampago. Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 Just finished the episode, Danny slayed. If you would have told me I’d be rooting for her to (realistically) win the crown at the beginning of the season, I’d have laughed in your face. She’s grown on me a lot, a TRUE comedy queen unlike Poolite.  That being said, Jonbers is kind of my favorite in the top 4 and probably in my top 3 for the season overall along with Dakota and Baby. There’s something charming about her mediocre challenge performances and drag in the face of girls like Danny and Cheddar. I love her for it. I’m #TeamJonbers but she has less than 0 chances to win so…  I think Cheddar would be an excellent addition to the winner’s circle though since Danny is definitely akin to Viv/Lawrence in some ways. I also think she will win because production chose to give her a win over Danny when it was between them two and she has more of a winner’s storyline with her having high and low points.  Peppa is so disappointing. Just… yikes. Unlike Tayce and Vanity who were also the assassins of their seasons, she deserved every bottom placement very clearly and arguably lost a couple lipsyncs. She was my winner at the start of the season, but now I don’t really think much about her besides her weekly lipsync performances that just look messy.  Thankfully the plague of Pixie is done though. I cannot believe they chose to keep her over Dakota. Dakota being in this top 4 instead of Peppa would be excellent, and tbh, Baby instead of Jonbers. That would be a PERFECT top 4.  Messy season overall but can’t wait to see who wins next week!
Nikko Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 Â Â Danny is so cool but I feel like they already feel like they've lost? It just hit me that Danny could've had 6 wins - I think they outperformed Cheddar in the makeover and especially the acting challenge.

Danny absolutely dominated and Cheddar often felt like a tier below for me in terms of actual execution. Cheddar also gives off a "better than thou but trying to appear humble" vibe which very much contrasts Danny's ACTUAL humble attitude. Team Danny!!!

So, that excuse of this season solely based on comedy challenges as a reason of Black Peppa underperform is just... not it. Â Yeah she has cute gowns, anyone can buy nice gowns, soshe better cast for UK Next Top Model or some kind of reality like that, because she simply is not for DRAG RACE under any metric. Sorry. that sounds like Symone but this thread overrates her the **** up

GotMyBlueprint Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 Took everyone long enough to see how boring, uneventful and forced chedDUD is  Danny is the only true star this season, even if Dakota was endearing.

Rocket0212 Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 This season went from good to meh to the worst. Anybody in S3 top 3 would win against girls like Peppa or Jonbers. I wasn't expecting such a huge flop at the beginning of the season. Jonbers is cursed, 2nd again. Pixie is so insecure. You can see that potential is there but she bombed everything. At least we have Danny and Cheddar. That means we will have a stronger winner than S3 mannequin.Â
Iceland Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 This season was so uneventful  bring back Dakota and  crown herÂ

brooklyndaddy Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 Honestly without Danny present JB would have two wins under her belt and be a real contender for the crown  I love her, she feels like someone I’d be friends withÂ
killer_rose Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 Jonbers has such a lovely personality that carried her through the season. I honestly would have been happy with her winning the last challenge (if it wasn't for Danny's utter slayage). Â However, Cheddar should win the crown. Danny is amazing but we don't need The Vivienne 2.0 winner.

Just a Gay on ATRL Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 It’s nice with the UK series you don’t always know who is going to win until it airs. With the US most of the time it is obvious who’s gonna win. Â
pxxxtrick Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 Saw a spoiler of the winner on Twitter and I’m not mad. Excited to see the runner up on an AS.Â
Just a Gay on ATRL Posted November 24, 2022 Posted November 24, 2022 Spoiler I thought Cheddar was gonna win based on their preceding legend status, but Danny Beard really earned that win based on how the season played out. Congrats to Danny! The winners circle in the UK is so cool so far. Â
