A spooky parody of British paranormal TV is such a UK Drag Race idea, and it gives the queens plenty of room to go completely over the top. The difficult part is knowing when to commit to the joke and when to let the scene breathe. I'm more interested in who can make a character funny and convincing than who simply shouts the loudest.

Hello, hello, hello!

Here’s the poll for Episode 7, "Ghost Hunties" complete with photos/GIFs:

I could see that on the cover of vogue, couldn’t you?

Thank you all for participating in this project each year, and I look forward to sharing the results with you as the series airs! Please remember to keep the comments respectful and supportive. Condragulations to the Queens of Series 8.

Coral has a refreshing charisma that you can tell Ru appreciates. If she doesn’t win this season, she’ll be back.

The title makes it sound a lot more dramatic than it really is, but whatever- this is just something I’ve noticed over the course of this season that is really grating on me.

She’s been doing very well, consistently, for the last few episodes. And yet, every time she is critiqued she receives the same patronising comments:

- You actually did well!
- You surprised me tonight.
- You picked the right time to arrive to this competition.
- And the most egregious- I just hope you can keep this going and don’t fuck up next week!!

I’m paraphrasing, but you get the gist. Constantly treating her doing well as some sort of fluke or stroke of good luck. I don’t like how, when she did so well and was rightfully proud of herself, they had to mention the prospect of her somehow fucking it up in the next challenge. Like her talent is some sort of fleeting thing that she has to fight to keep a hold on.

She’s not the first queen to be spoken to/about this way, but it really annoys me!! Am I delusional of have other people noticed this too?

Hi everyone!

I absolutely loved this weeks episode ( despite wanting to give Mocha the BIGGEST hug). but my favourite part by far was Coral holding her pose on the runway! I don’t know why this made me laugh so much but I just love her and this moment.

What did everyone think of this episode? Does anyone wish someone had stood up for Mocha against KY?

Also loving Alik and Flesh here too.. certainly these 3 are my favourite of the cast.

Tonight on Drag Race UK Series 8, the remaining 6 queens tackle the comedy acting challenge!!

Acting challenges usually expose who can handle comedic timing and script characterization versus who gets lost in the background.

A few questions heading into tonight:

• Which queen do you expect to stand out with the best character choices and comedic delivery?
• Who is most at risk of fumbling their lines or getting overshadowed in the ensemble?
• Who are your picks for tonight's challenge win and the bottom two?

Also, if you want to track your weekly predictions and compete in private leagues with friends, we have them set up on Sashay Bingo as always.

Drop your predictions and thoughts below!

I definitely think TDQ could have done well this week with her camp approach to agadoo and her giant BOB (Robert).

The spooky parody sounds like the sort of challenge that could separate the queens who are naturally funny from those who need a bit more direction. Acting challenges can be awkward when everyone is trying too hard, but they can also produce some of the most quotable moments of a season. I'm hoping the queens lean into the ridiculousness instead of playing it too straight. Who do you think will thrive in this one?

These are just some of my picks, I choose the queens based on who I think could be entertaining and bring something fresh to the competition!! I really love so many uk queens and I’m really excited for this season 🤧🩷

The queens this season are all so fabulous that I genuinely don't know how I'm going to handle the eliminations. There are so many fierce performers, and it feels like whoever goes home is going to leave something special behind.

I love a season where everyone brings something different to the table, whether it's the looks, the performances or just their personality. It's going to be tough watching some of these queens leave before they get their chance at the crown.

Which queen would you find hardest to see go home at this point?

I already miss her on my screen.

British drag isn’t limited to London. Belfast, Scotland, Wales, the North East, the Midlands, and elsewhere all have distinct styles, communities, and performance traditions. The show has cast from across the nations, but performers such as Coral-Hole Mandi are right that regional scenes deserve deeper exploration through casting, challenges, and guests. With the BBC ending the UK series after Series 8, which regional scene or local drag tradition do you most wish had been represented?

This puff piece of a press release reads like it was written by the Grand High Bigot herself. Between the recent show cancellations and the censoring of Bethany Antonia's "Protect the Dolls" shirt, the regressive agenda is clear.
