I’m surprised that they are doing another Australian season. I enjoyed it more as it went along but it just wasn’t a memorable season for me and felt a bit cheap and tacky.
I agree with comments above about the overkill but also understand the shows are made for different markets. It is not like the Aussie version had that much exposure in the US apart from to diehard fans. I don’t watch the UK or Canadian seasons to give myself a break, especially now as 3 seasons back to back has been enough for me.
I did really enjoy the recent US All Stars though. It was one of the better seasons for me. Just the winner was not who I would’ve chosen.
In that case if it stays permanent you’d hope they’ll increase the production values for the second season - it was well and truly the cheapest looking example of the franchise and really it was assumed that was because they made a last minute change to filming in NZ due to COVID.
The difference is though that multiple versions (at least 4 per year now) are hosted by RuPaul and they are aired back to back so they don’t clash. I can’t think of another reality show like this.
Oh I didn’t realise that i thought it was just to look pretty.
But thanks for your comment I believe someone mentioned about a month ago that they film it in 2-3 weeks which I didn’t comprehend when first posting.
I have been watching old seasons I didn’t get a chance to watch. I just watched all stars 4. Did anyone just get turned off the show when they eliminated Manila? I haven’t been able to watch another episode. Manila deserved to at least be saved.
Ahead of season 2 of Drag Race Down Under, Stan will stream RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK Versus the World from tomorrow (Wednesday), same time as UK where it airs on BBC Three.
