Drag Race UK finalists on season 6 praise, “savage” moments and “Actavia’s wigs”
Ahead of the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season six finale, finalists Kyran Thrax, La Voix, Marmalade and Rileasa Slaves are reminiscing on the moments that made it the “best season ever”.
From the werkroom interactions to the lip-sync smackdowns and the innovative runways, as well as the staple Snatch Game and Makeover – both of which have been lauded as new peaks for the franchise – season six has truly been one for the herstory books.
Speaking with GAY TIMES ahead of the finale this Thursday (28 November), Kyran credits the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent of the 12 queens, impeccable casting and riotous maxi-challenges with making this a “perfect” season of Drag Race. “It really was like watching an All Stars season, and the girls didn’t make it easy for us to reach this finale!” says Kyran, while Rileasa praises the “nice mixed mash of beautiful, talented people” that sashayed into the werkroom.
Marmalade jokes that the most gag-worthy moment of the season belongs to Actavia’s generation-defining barrister wig, which became a viral hit on social media and consists of 91% of Marmalade’s posts on Twitter/X. “I bolt up awake at night screaming, covered in sweat thinking about that wig,” she says.
