Drag Race UK 2, Episode 5: A Concerning Shade of Ham Pink

Hello, H&M customer services, how may I help you?

I apologise that this recap is up late – I didn’t sleep a wink on Thursday night because all I could hear was that cursed “Ding Dang Dong, Sing Sang Song, Bing Bang Bong” chorus running through my head like a freight train.

What is Utica’s obsession with dressing like a piece of art that Phoebe Buffay made?

Have you ever wanted to learn about the history of disco through a series of RuPaul’s anecdotes followed by a dance routine so sloppy that it makes you question the very concept of human motor skills? Then I’ve got just the thing for you!

I will be recreating this cake for every single member of my family’s birthday.

They often warn you to never work with animals or children, but I think we can add goths and black icing to that list.

I see they’re permanently sticking with the early Ball Episode which means 36 looks and that’s why this recap was up a day late… But also I had to take several hours off because LaLa Ri’s bag dress was about to give me a hernia.

Week 3 and the conspiracy theory that eliminated queens are being chosen by a series of ferrets in a ball pit are growing stronger every week.

Yeah, this show can be like that.

It’s the first ever UK Rusical and their taking on the monolithic cinematic disaster CATS! What could possibly go wrong?

This was the precise moment I realised that Tamisha must have kids of her own.

Well, time for Episode One The Third! I feel like I’m stuck in a queer reboot of Groundhog Day. It’s just never ending, SOMEONE HELP.

This was my only facial expression during PE too.

It’s back after a delayed shooting schedule because of the minefield that was 2020 but it finally arrived with a pretty fantastic cast of Queens and it’s just refreshing to have a normal series opening after the three weeks of limbo that the US version has found itself in.

Gothy Kendoll has a legacy!

After my shock that they didn’t bill Season 13 as The Unlucky Season I have quickly come to realise that it is us, the audience, who are the unlucky ones as it becomes clear that this season is already spinning its wheels after getting stuck in the mud of its debut episode.
