Rupaul uk season 31/23/2024 ![]() She’s definitely grown the most out of the others, but then again she had to in order to keep up with the competition. The conversations she’s had in the werkroom with the other gals (especially Victoria) showed another side of her that’s not necessarily visible on stage. It’s great to see someone so young doing this good and learning from her mistakes. Crystal checks those boxes in ways, but so do the other queens in the final three. ![]() The Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent boxes aren’t as important to check as impressing Ru, and that criteria may not be known to the fans. However, nothing wrong with some constructive criticism. No sense sending hate out there to all involved. Its RU’s decision and whatever it was based on, it is what it is. I’m not bringing Krystal down at all just because my preference happens to be for another queen winning. I really hoped that we’d get a surprise based on the overwhelming sentiment of the UK public, and based on the negativity after Season 2’s finale didn’t go with the queen the public pegged to win. Not sure what on earth Krystal’s show she won would be though, we haven’t heard about Lawrence’s yet and nobody watched Viv’s. Granted, Kitty is highly entertaining and Ella is very talented so both would do well in an All Stars season, so we may see them again. No matter what Ella or Kitty did, they had zero chance of winning after Ru gave Krystal the ‘you were born to be a drag queen’ speech after Snatch Game. It’s clear that Ru and Michelle don’t get the references most of the UK queens make and this is not appreciated here in the UK, believe me.Īs for Krystal’s look, she’s open on social media about who the doctor is who does her face and fillers and such, who she worked with on the looks (she has said in multiple recent interviews that she comes up with the concept herself but has friends make them for her, we saw that on the design challenge, she could draw it but not make it), so we know who she’s created by. She’s a tool for WoW to try to push the UK’s more comedy and performance based drag into a more US Drag Race style look scene, and sends a clear message that THAT kind of drag is what Drag Race UK judged by Ru is about, not what UK audiences respond to (which was overwhelmingly pro-Ella this week). She’s also the only one of the trio who fit the US Drag Race box – she was raised on Drag Race, mostly knew what drag is based upon Drag Race since she’s so young and was immersed in that before realistically being able to be part of the actual British drag scene, etc. ![]() I think they picked Krystal because Ru from episode 1 was clearly obsessed with her (same for Lawrence in season 2, and Viv was already known by Ru before Season 1). The newest winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is… Krystal Versace! When the dust settled after their group performance of Dusty Springfield’s “You Don’t Own Me,” Ru announced the winner. The whole look gave me ’80s soap opera villain realness, and I was here for it.īut before Ru could make up her mind, she requested one final three-way lip sync for the crown. I also loved Krystal’s crushed black velvet dress, complete with big shoulders and expensive-looking gold jewelry. Kitty, on the other hand, was a frosty winter vision, accurately saying that she felt like the “prettiest Christmas fairy in the world.” Mission accomplished. Maybe it should have been a little longer? Either way, it wasn’t my favorite. Ella kicked off the “Final Three Eleganza Extravaganza” in a glittery purple dress, but like so many of her past looks, the hair didn’t quite work - nor did the silver shoes, which Graham Norton rightly called “jarring” compared to the rest of Ella’s gold jewelry. Then came the runway, which panned out quite differently. And Krystal’s was somewhere in between she elicited a few hearty chuckles from Mama Ru, but she never lost her signature sexy flare. Meanwhile, Kitty leaned a little harder into the comedy, telling Santa she’s going to climb him like a tree before demanding that he drop her knickers. The Buccaneers Stars Break Down That Finale Wedding Twist and What It Means for Nan, Theo and GuyĪnd Ella definitely brought that Big Drag Energy to her performance, inviting the judges to jingle her bells and promising an “Ella Va-Christmas,” all while sleigh-ing with killer vocals.
