Loved the first series, only discovered this one had started by accident... loving it already (even though I couldn't help but look and see who won :rolleyes: )
Rupaul's Drag Race is shown earlier in the year in the US, so I watched it on torrents back then. Do stick with it, after a slow start it gets really good and better than the first series, in my opinion as it has one or two really talented queens competing.
Just bumping to say I'm really enjoying this. I'm not into doing drag at al, but I don't judge those who are, and I really respect the guys for taking part and being true to themselves.
Is it just me or does Jujubee make a really convincing female?
Asian men in drag are very convincing. Must be their build and bone structure. If you live near west London check out Thai Nice restaurant. They have drag/cabaret shows with Thais performing and they are amazing. Next show is new years eve www.thainice.co.uk
This show is absolutely hilarious and a total guilty pleasure. I can't understand for the life of me why E4 is trying to bury this show. Series 2 started out at midnight when it premiered in September and as the series progressed it's time slot has been getting later and later each week with this week's episode on at like 1:45am and next weeks episode at 2:50am. E4 gave series 2 no promo whatsoever and still have series 1 picture and bio on their website. If given a better and consistant time slot, maybe 10:30pm or 11pm with a repeat during the day on Saturdays, it would have a better following in the UK. At this rate, it looks like we may not get RuPaul's Drag U which aired last Summer in the US or series 3 which premieres in early 2011 in the US. Sucks as this show is one of the better reality TV shows out there.
Love RuPaul. I've not seen Drag Race yet though. I watched an interview recently of him plugging his 'guide to life' book, in which he was wearing his 'male drag', which was far more bizarre than seeing him in a dress. But what shocked me most was the fact that he came across as genuinely interesting, intelligent person, I think I might actually buy his book.
Really enjoying the second season, like an earlier poster said it has improved as the series has gone on. I loved the drag fathers task last week - amazing makeovers!
Again I cannot understand why E4 have no real interest in this other than showing it in a graveyard slot as I'm sure it has much wider appeal than just to LGBT viewers.
Amazingly I've managed to avoid any online reference to who the winner in of S2. The only thing I don't like and would change is Judge Santino, he certainly can shassay away in time for S3!
Each episode Drag Queens from series 1 and 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race help make-over three real women into Drag Queens and they compete to be the winner. There are two good episodes - RuPaul's sisters get a make-over and the 'celebrity' episode with Charlene Tilton (Lucy Ewing from Dallas) and two other women from American TV.
People who have not seen RuPaul's Drag Race Series 2 final can watch RuPaul's Drag U as there is no mention of who wins.

It's like Project Runway and America's Next Top Model, with comedy elements as well. If you consider what they have to do each week - design their own gowns and do tasks - then it is one of the best reality TV shows out there. It's shown on VH1 in America as well as LOGO Channel and is popular with everyone, not just gays.
I have to admit that this show is my secret guilty pleasure. I agree about the rubbish scheduling, I only found out about it by chance channel hopping and saw the first episode that way. Since then have had to watch the other eps on 4oD as it's always on far too late. I liked the ep where they had to work with and create their drag mothers, very funny
A few days ago I mentioned that Thai Nice Restaurant in West London has regular cabaret shows with Thais in drag. Ive now heard that theyve been inundated with requests for the new show mentioning Digital Spy. E4 might not think there is demand for drag shows but this proves there is.

The programme is enjoyably ridiculous
