A Maypole, Car Boot Sale And Throwaway Eyebrows: All The Best Reactions To This Week's Drag Race UK

This article contains spoilers for the most recent episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.

We’re now fully into the swing of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and, three episodes in, what a series it’s turning out to be.

In the latest instalment of the BBC Three reality series, which saw Vinegar Strokes sashaying away after her book-themed runway presentation led to her being read by the judges, we were left howling throughout, as were the show’s viewers.

From swimming caps and dodgy accents to throwaway eyebrows and misplaced hot glue, these are the moments that had Drag Race UK viewers howling in episode three...

1. First off, RuPaul’s attempts at British greetings are clearly going nowhere

2. When the queens found out they had 15 minutes to get into “quick drag”, The Vivienne was READY

3. And while Blu Hydrangea really nailed the mini-challenge theme...

4. ...the same can’t be said for Baga Chipz

“Glastonbury maidens and I look like a bloody librarian” I love Chipz so much 😂 #DragRaceUK #RuPaulsDragRaceUK @dragraceukbbc

5. The maypole mini-challenge was giving some viewers horror flashbacks...

A Maypole dance gave me an immediate flashback to the Midsommar film.#DragRaceUK

6. Meanwhile, we should all spare a thought for the person who had to explain what a car boot sale was to RuPaul...

I've said it before, and I will say it again. There is nothing better right now than the fact that tonight's #DragRaceUK is based upon a car boot sale.
(Will there be a random butcher yelling meat prices at people?)
So British.

Reckon Ru knows what the fuck a car boot sale is? #DragRaceUK

7. To introduce the car boot sale challenge, the queens welcomed a familiar face

8. Blu accidentally shading RuPaul with her “ballgowns have been done to death” comment was immediately iconic...

this gives the same energy when Blu gave shade to RuPaul’s runway looks. #DragRaceUK pic.twitter.com/ARaxWZ9HF1

Cannot believe I threw shade at RuPaul 😱😂

9. But RuPaul’s own remarks to Vinegar were the shadiest of all #HodgePodge

10. Fortunately, Vinegar was able to own it…

11. Baga and The Vivienne’s homage to Thelma and Louise was everything

12. The queens in half-drag will never not be hugely entertaining

13. Baga’s attempts at costume design certainly got a lot of attention...

14. ...but her haphazard approach to glue-gunning left us all wincing

Nobody: ...

15. On the main stage, we were not ready for how savage guest judge Twiggy was going to be

“What’s she wearing on her head?”
“That’s a wig”
“Oh I thought it was a swimming cap” 😂😂 #DragRaceUK
— Grace Louise West (@GraceLouise95_) October 17, 2019

16. And behind the scenes, The Vivienne let the queens who couldn’t sew have it (although some viewers pointed out a flaw in her argument)

Sorry, is the Vivienne lecturing people for not knowing how to sew WHILST WEARING BITS OF PLASTIC TAPED TO BITS OF CARDBOARD? Are you kidding me?#DragRaceUK pic.twitter.com/zb1i2z63kr
— Shouty Cassandra (@clacksee) October 17, 2019

I love The Vivienne but she really didn’t sew anything

17. Perhaps the most exciting moment was the minute-long preview of next week’s episode, which is arguably the most-anticipated of the whole series

18. In fact, fans have already have their wishlist for the British version of Snatch Game

So fucking excited for #DragRaceUK doing the Snatch Game. The US one is all Beyoncé and Gaga. This is gonna be Su Pollard, Susan Boyle, Richard Madeley as Ali G and that woman who put a cat in a bin

19. But we’ll leave you with this thought…

Random thought at 7:47am. as it's the UK version of Snatch Game next week, should it not be called 'Wankety Wank' ?#dragrace #DragRaceUK #RuPaulsDragRaceUK @rpdrukfans @ChipShopBird @dragraceukbbc
