Once down to the final few contestants, the episodes managed to pick themselves up again to the delight of those who were growing exhausted of the confusing season. Once down to the final few contestants, the episodes managed to pick themselves up again While their bottom placement was understandable, an arguably enjoyable performance combined with a confusing double save a few weeks prior left many outraged at the two remaining fan favourites’ abrupt exit. The accompanying shock factor of the season was the double elimination of River Medway and Choriza May during the highly anticipated ‘Snatch Game’ episode. This seemed wholly unnecessary and unfair to those who actually did rather well. A key example of this was in the episode five acting challenge, where an unimpressed panel of judges announced that no one would win the challenge this week due to mediocre performances from everyone. On the topic of production, a number of shocking twists occurred throughout the season which resulted in many questioning the intentions of the behind-the-scenes crew. The issue of favouritism within the judging from RuPaul seemed increasingly evident as the episodes went on
While being an undoubtedly talented drag queen, the consistent expression of affection that was shown towards her by RuPaul began to feel uncomfortable amongst many viewers, especially as other queens began to be put in lower placements than necessary in what seemed like a production-driven attempt to save others. The issue of favouritism within the judging from RuPaul seemed increasingly evident as the episodes went on when becoming especially taken to 19-year-old Krystal Versace. The following episode which featured an outdoor-themed sewing challenge came across as lacklustre and flat, with questionable judging choices resulting in many fan favourites being overlooked and deemed ‘safe’. Coincidence or not, following the saddening departure of Victoria due to a knee injury, episodes started to take somewhat of a strange turn. Scone provided another unique reason to love this season, being the first cisgender AFAB queen in the entire Drag Race franchise to date, offering hope at more inclusive casting in the future.Īlthough having a promising start, the season seemed to begin to go slightly downhill. In addition to the incredible outfits and lip-syncs displayed by the queens so early on, the well-loved Victoria Scone was already being shown as one of the season’s front runners. Despite all of this, an impressive premiering episode provided fans with high hopes for the season ahead. There was controversy before episodes even began to air, mainly due to the disappointing lack of diversity within the cast. Having followed on from season two of Drag Race UK, which has become is of the most well-loved seasons in the history of the show, season three was already set up for some form of failure having such big shoes to fill. Having followed on from season two of Drag Race UK, which has become is of the most well-loved seasons in the history of the show, season three was already set up for some form of failure having such big shoes to fill However, after a season packed with strange twists and turns that left many unsettled, fans have been left with very mixed feelings about the recent instalment of the show.
After what felt like a rather short ten weeks, the third season of Rupaul’s Drag Race UK has come to an end after crowning its next winner.
