First off, what's with the 6.8 score (as of July 28)?
I've just finished watching the second episode of CDR S3 and I felt compelled to praise this season as I've found it very entertaining, far more than S13 & S14 of RPDR's first 2 episodes! Here's my thoughts:
The cast: The most important factor, in my opinion. Wow, what a confident bunch of queens! Even queens like Chelazon Leroux, who entered the workroom in a white hoodie-dress (Choices??), and Bombae, who also didn't have my favourite entrace look, have completely shown their talents and star factor pretty much right off the bat. In fact, the whole cast seem to have very stand-out and individual approaches to their drag.
It's a very fun mixing pot of aesthetics, characters and SHADE!
Miss Fiercealicious, whom I was cautious of at first, has already made me kind of fall in love with her Valentina-esq confidence and no-holding back attitude- I feel like her and Kimmy are definitely spicing the season up a little. The 'drama', or whatever you want to call it, has been refreshingly upfront and honest... so far!
The fashion: OKAY, so... I'm impressed! Queens such as Vivienne Vanderpuss, Chaos and Lady Boom boom are really selling it.
Lady Boom boom especially, I have to say, her first week design challenge outfit is one of my favourite garments constructed on any Drag Race season. With that gorgeous makeup I saw a real inspiration from the likes of Alexander McQueen and I'm so glad she's bringing a cool sense of style to the show, as, if we remember season 1 of CDR... the show hasn't always given us the best fashion. Not a joke... just a fact.
The judging: Apart from a few slightly off moments timing wise from Brooklyn on the main stage (I think, in part, due to a slightly janky edit), I'm enjoying the judges so far. They seem to give relevant critique that actually makes sense with the girls' placements and PERFORMANCE in both episodes (I'm looking at you RPDR!). So far, so good.
So.. yeah! I'm already seeing a very strong cast by the end of episode 2. Each remaining queen actually seems super talented and like they could be the stand-out. So, I guess it just depends on which way the producers wanna swing things.
My top picks would have to be: Lady Boom boom. Vivienne Vanderpuss, Kimmy Couture, Miss Fiercealicious and probably Bombae. Boom Boom or Vanderpuss are my stand-outs overall so far though.
Very impressed. This season feels a little like RPDR UK S2 and that's saying something. Let's see if the season keeps up the momentum!
