RuPaul's Drag Race UK (TV Series) Lairy Poppins: The Rusical (2022) User Reviews

One of my favourite episodes ever

[zmxprbdz · 10/10 · 20 October 2022]

I mean where to even begin!

The reading challenge was good enough and got it off to a decent start.

The Rusical felt 100% British inspired which is great as the rumours that is was Squid Game themed never really sat well. But EVERY queen did a good job. They've all been so likeable and slightly nutty that it's added such a good feeling to this series.

The rusical itself was brilliant & Hannah Waddingham was such a brilliant guest judge. And the lip sync was a great break from the usual pop songs and it was one of my favourites in recent times. And baby's departure on her own accord with respect from Ru was heartening.

Fab episode,fab Season!

Masterclass.

This episode had everything a great episode requires. It had funny moments, a perfect challenge, a great lipsync, incredible runways, a great mini challenge and a gag-worthy moment. This season feels like season 9, just a great season that makes you feel good after every episode. Danny Beard is such an amazing drag queen and really is showing how talented she is. I wish i could give this episode a bad critique, but it was such an enjoyable watch that I can't! Also, next week we have snatch game! I'm crossing my fingers that snatch game will be good and not ruin the season like it did for season 14. UK4 so far is definitely the best uk season, if not the best season ever.

A near perfect episode

[jayson-73925 · 10/10 · 21 October 2022]

Hilariously entertaining workroom and rehearsal, a rusical with NO bad performances, a stunning runway with a few iconic looks, an amazing lip sync to a musical theatre banger, and a shocking yet heartfelt and understandable elimination.

The build up to the rusical was a fun cop out to make us worried for the challenge result, yet everyone demolished in their own way.

The runway was one of the best in a while, with one truly unbelievable look and a multitude of amazing outfits.

The judging decisions and outcome also seemed (mostly) fair and justified. I agreed with (mostly) everything they said.

And then the LIPSYNC!? Are you kidding? An iconic song done so so so right by two iconic performers.

This episode was a full slay.

PERFECTION!

[Javi1122 · 10/10 · 21 October 2022]

Let me start off by saying, this episode had one of my favorite rusicals ever. At times I forgot they were even singing live. Everyone did so well. I could have seen Black Peppa in the top 3 as well. I'm also really happy for Jonbers. She really redeemed herself this week. The runway was incredible. Black Peppa, Danny Beard, and Le Fil brought some of the best looks from the UK franchise. Danny was so so good in the rusical. The win was very well deserved. I was very sad to see the bottom two, and the ending made me tear up. I really love this cast. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this episode. 10/10.

JUST OH MY GOD!

I think this is the strongest cast of Drag Race, no one was even mediocre, they were all good and some of them were excellent. I did not even understand how Le Fil was in the bottom when she did so good! Yet I agree, the others were slightly better. The lip sync was too good, I did not expect Dakota to shine like that, glad she was not eliminated. Baby, I hope you are doing well now <3.

I think it was one of the best episodes overall in Drag Race History, the lip sync song was also so good, I am going to add that to my playlist for sure. Thank you for reading this, have a nice weekend and take care!

Sheer Perfection

[helsbells-91604 · 10/10 · 23 October 2022]

Whilst I have been suffering from Drag Race fatigue somewhat, this episode has revitalised me. Everything about it was perfection. Even without the stellar performances of all queens, the rusical was easily the best written; no setup-to-fail parts, each part with a solid chance to shine. Every single queen's performance, to me, was faultless and and I truly couldn't see how it would be judged. I'll easily be rewatching it when I need a laugh from now on.

The lip sync song was also an outstanding choice! Love the song and it gave the queens so much room to put their own spin on it. A heartbreaking send off, yet the right one for the queen involved.

The only negative that I can possibly give is that it's a shame that it will be such a long time before we'll see anything of this standard again.
