Flexus Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 tbh none of these girls look that interesting yet, but I'm excited to see if that changes with the first episode. Can't watch tonight so will catch up tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbreak Prince Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Wait this is on tonight?! Whew the lack of hype is real, even on social media amongst the circles who still watch this show, it’s been near crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) DR:UK5 has started? I literally had no idea. Let’s say our goodbyes now because this will be the last season (at least it should be but they’ve started S6). The lack of hype is wild.

ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted September 28, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2023 i'm OBSESSEDDDDDDDD the promo was a red herring omg. amazing cast, fun challenge, mostly great looks. exactly what I want from drag race uk omg. need to actually finish the episode though okay great ending. happy with the results - i probably would have changed some of the tops but i think i agree with the top two. definitely would have been a cara solo win under normal circumstances but she definitely didn't know the words. happy regardless! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflymimi Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 the camera angles to edit out whoever it is found the cast god awfully boring but will be tuned in every week regardless! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Both Sides Now Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Cara Melle STOMPED this episode. I also liked Kate and Ginger’s confessionals. Vicky’s constant bootlicking of the British army made me a bit uncomfortable This seems like a group of strong performance girls but this episode premise was lame/lazy… Was there no budget? Also, it seems like they did some reshoots because of the disqualified contestant. The mini-challenge and the lip-sync had wide angles and I only counted 10 girls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurem Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I completely forgot about Crystal Lubrikant, until I noticed a fourth person after only three of them entered the work room. After that, I couldn't stop looking for her, but they did a really great job editing her out. 17 minutes ago, Both Sides Now said: Also, it seems like they did some reshoots because of the disqualified contestant.

If you look at the wide lip-sync shots, it's only when someone is standing on the left side of the stage, covering the second person from the left. In the mini challenge, the only wide shot was after she was done performing, so she was first in line which made them easier to edit her out by simply zooming in a bit.

Hurem Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Overall, I really like this cast! Promo didn't do them any justice, this was really fun. The Polish girly, DeDe and Kate Butch left the weakest impression on me, but I'm glad no one went home. Vicki was a pleasant surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklyndaddy Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I thought it was a cute premier! Didn’t really like the “challenge” premise… the “club look” was essentially just slightly altered versions of their entrances (if at all) which meant it was essentially just entrance and whatever they wore on the main stage to be judged on I like this group, no one is giving booger. Excited to see there’s some drama next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the lipsync to the right of the stage there is (left to right) Ginger, Naomi, Tomara, Banksy. The on the left of the stage there is (right to left) Michael, Alexis, Kate, the disqualified queen, Dede. The editors did an amazing job and cutting around them.

ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted September 28, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2023 has anyone watched the after shave yet? there’s potential for sure but growing pains as well i’ll stick with it but hopefully the next episodes are an improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbSoul Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 The MTQ might've been underwhelming, but that was a REALLY nice premiere I mean, the editing/close-up shots/fast cuts were a little crazy, but that's understandable. Although, it wasn't just when the edited-out queen was on screen, so idk... Is it just me or the editing was wild during the Top5 critiques too? They kept doing these fast cuts and it just seemed really all over the place. Honestly, this cast seems like a great mix. Fun, shady, talented. The only one so far I'm not huge on right now is Kate Butch. She's fun in confessionals, but that's kinda it for me rn. As for the results, they weren't horrible. I find her extremely endearing, but I wouldn't have put Ginger on top. Maybe Miss Naomi Carter? I think even Tomara could've been better. I also thought Michael could've been Top2 instead of Vicky, but both of them + Cara were great. Cara not winning this episode felt weird, especially since I thought she did great in the lipsync, but I'm happy for Vicky as well. Honestly, I feel like this cast has the potential to deliver the best season since S2 I just hope the madness with the edited-out queen doesn't ruin it...

Jack! Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I said in this thread earlier that due to the low expectations I feel like this series will jump out. The cast is actually really great, glad that already we're seeing a bit more classing Drag Race drama and they did a good job filter CL out of the season. I'm excited for the rest of the series!

pxxxtrick Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I’m really enjoying the vibe of this cast already. Tomara is my early favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) That was a fantastic premier. The humour from the queens felt very fresh and authentically British for the first time since season 2, and no one really did a terrible job in any of the challenges. Ginger was definitely the worst though, not sure why Copper Topp has been invited back to compete again and really don't see why she was in the top The guest judge had me SCREAMING omg, it was giving straight girl first time at a gay bar The wardrobe mishaps and harsh wig lines during the entrances and the club mini challenge were also a kii. The producers edited that queen out AT ANY COST omg there's no evidence she was even on set apart from the random closeups of other queens Edited September 28, 2023 by HotFriedChicken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted September 29, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted September 29, 2023 I love Alexis I also liked DeDe right away, but I'm sad she came for Alexis for no reason Judging was pretty weird for me. I don't see why Michael or Vicki were tops Vicki was pretty much in a costume and her makeup was bad. Banksie is lucky af it was a non-elimination. Overall, it was a pretty good episode!
