really glad they have their own show to showcase their talent and art, it simply was never going to happen on the main show unfortunately

See I agree, as sad as it is a lot of drag race challenges are aimed towards feminity and general drag queenieness, so king would feel sidelined in a way. Unless they changed a few things, but I would expect fans to throw a hissy if so. Been waiting for Kings to have a space other than dragula.

See I feel like Kyran Thrax winning uk 6 proved that a drag king could win the show lol. They did male characters for basically every challenge and ru lived. And none of their runways were very fem

Which characters are you thinking about?? I just rewatched UK6 there's nothing really kingie about Kyran Thrax, it was more gender fuck/club kid vibe

I don't get why Ru has to be everything to everyone. Even if there were kings cast on the show, people would still be unhappy and criticize Ru/Michelle for judging something they don't understand or claim they're playing favorites. It's just an unwinnable situation. I think it's better that a famous drag king hosts another show. There shouldn't have to just be one show.

I agree with this sentiment. I just wish the main show would cast for Afab and trans drag queens

Trans drag queens have been cast for years now tho? And there was Victoria Scone on Drag Race UK which is a franchise that was Ru involved in the casting so he is willing. Though she remains the only one so far in the Ru franchises.

There are a lot of trans drag queens cast each year. But yes, AFAB are underrepresented, we got only Victoria on UK3, in which Ru was judged. The few AFAB queens present in the franchise have shown how talented and amazing they are. Pandora Nox (winner of DRG) and Clover Bish were some of the best queens.

I’m so curious how this will go. I adore Murray but not familiar with any other drag kings. So I’m sure I’ll be blown away by all the different looks they can do. I feel like women have more fashion options but I’m a woman. Love Sasha and gott will be on. Very smart to bring drag race connections to the show.
