Here’s how fans reacted to Drag Race UK vs the World’s hybrid Rusical episode
The queens tapped into their inner West End star on the latest episode of Drag Race UK vs the World season two. Spoilers ahead For this week’s maxi-challenge, Ru tasked the seven remaining contestants – Choriza May, Hannah Conda, La Grande Dame, Marina Summers, Scarlet Envy, Tia Kofi, and Gothy Kendoll – to tap into their inner showgirl for Six Musical-inspired Rusical, “Seven: Confessions of Drag Queen.” However, unlike previous Rusicals, the queens were handed a girl group challenge twist to make their performance more difficult. “Now each of you will star as your royal self.
You’re in charge of writing your own lyrics about the ups and downs of your personal Drag Race journey,” Ru explained. “Oh, and I almost forgot… you’ll be singing live.” While most of the queens expressed excitement over the challenge’s unique rules, Gothy was less than thrilled. “The idea of singing and dancing live, well, that us a lot,” she said in a confessional. “I don’t know how I’m going to do.” Before leaving the workroom, Ru revealed that each of the verses would tackle a different musical style before granting last week’s challenge winner, Tia, the ability to assign the parts. “Now, later you’ll be meeting with your vocal coach and extra special guest judge, singer-songwriter Self Esteem,” Ru added.
With the rules officially announced, Tia assigned the queens their unique parts – resulting in the former getting the fourth verse, Hannah getting the sixth, Chorizo snagging the first, Scarlet taking on verse two, Marina landing verse three, La Grande getting the fifth verse and Gothyrecieving verse seven, much to her disappointment.
After crafting their lyrics, the contestants headed to the main stage to meet Self Esteem for vocal coaching before collaborating on the show’s choreography – which proved quite challenging.
