Sherry Pie is only 27?? Queen, please....
Lots of them claiming they're fashion queens which will be interesting.
And as sweet as she seems, i think Jan will be first out

I liked that we saw 3 looks from them all. The runways are one of my fave parts of the show. I don't hate anyone but i also don't love anyone. I fear a little for Heidi, i thought from the meet the queens she would be funny but she actually seemed a bit annoying and ever so slightly out her depth.
I think some of my favoured ones are in the next batch to be introduced so might be feeling it a bit more then.

I really enjoyed this. I initially wasn't sure how I would feel about a split premiere but one of my biggest complaints about the show is that the early outs always get so little time to shine so if we get to focus on fewer queens for a couple of episodes and no one gets elminated for the first 2 episodes (unless they decide to do that at the end of next episode in which case I take all of this back) then that solves my issue and will hopefully mean that there's fewer forgettable queens by the end of the season since they'll have stayed with us longer.

Great first EP...loved it!
Totally agree with Juicy, nobody was 'lost' last night like they usually are the first 3 or 4 eps.
Some real surprises when people you thought weren't going to be good were great.
Heidi was my fave, though her looks were not great. But she's so funny...what a great personality!
I'm really not here for Jackie or Brita...both of them are extremely unlikable.
The rest are all on about the same level.
Great lip-synch and GiGi was very surprising!
Starships is my JAM!

It was a strong start. Some nice twist moments.
Widow surprised me the most. A real powerhouse
Looking forward to seeing Sherry in action next week

Really liked this first episode and a great choice to split the queens across 2 premiers, like they did in season 6. We can actually get to know the queens, before they're voted off.
Early favourites for me,Jackie Cox and Gigi Goode. Yes Widow might have won the lipsynch, and i'm glad it was twisted to have the winners perform, but we have seen that routine OVER AND OVER.... there's nothing new there.
Will be interesting to see the next group, as i don't think they're going to be as good as the first group of queens.

I'd love to know what boneheaded reasoning is behind the decision (probably by the rights holders rather than Netflix) to not allow UK viewers to see any of the Untucked episodes until the season is over. It seems bizarre that a deal to show the main programme week-by-week, if it includes Untucked at all, wouldn't allow the release of that week-by-week as well. And it appears from their social media posts that up until a couple of weeks ago, Netflix were under the impression that it would. I wonder what changed since last year.

I believe the main show is now a co-production with VH1 which is why it's on Netflix here, but Untucked is produced solely by World of Wonder who probably don't have a deal with Netflix UK. |

If you subscribe to a VPN and place yourself in the US you can watch Untucked on the VH1 website.
E01 isnt worth it though.😴

Sherry Pie has been ‘disqualified’ for ‘catfishing’!! She won’t be in the final

Spoiler for season placements based on leaks - read at your own discretion. {Spoiler - click to view}Unfortunately she's apparently part of the top 4 so we're still going to have to see her on our screens before said finale. Definitely feels like it's going to make watching this season a bit uncomfortable and it's a real shame for the other queen's that they're going to be overshadowed by this. |

If you read the above ^^^^ please make sure you reply or refer to it in spoiler tags. We don't want things being leaked for all to see on here for people who don't want to know. Be careful.
Regarding the latest episodes, i think my two faves were from it. Rock and Jan. I already knew i'd like Rock and i did but i was really won over by Jan in this episode as well. I think in general this group were my fave group out the two. I really liked quite a few of them. I only ended up liking maybe Gigi from the last group.

I find that people wanting to know the elimination order in advance could do so from a quick google. I don’t feel it needs posting here at all. As Andy says, it could easily get discussed here openly.
For me, I’m loving so far: Rock, Jan, Jackie and to my surprise Gigi. I didn’t think she would stand out from the press material but last week she was showcasing herself as a well-rounded contestant. I had high hopes for Brita but her looks were bordering on Peppermint boot-able.

I don’t like Aiden Zane. Very hard to watch, uncomfortable almost. Also, I don’t think he can walk in heels despite them editing it to cover up the fact. I think walking in heels is a fundamental basic of drag. Didn’t like his make up either, and in the musical number his outfit was sloppy.
But universal praise from the judges. Could it be that they’re trying to cross over into the Dragula market? There are several nods to it so far in this series.

To my great surprise, the person who i thought the worst of all the new queens in the pre season vidoes, turned out to be one of my favourites. Jan. I thought she came across so well in this episode, in her looks, her abilities, and especially in her talking heads. Can't wait to see what she does during the season.
I watched this before i knew about Sherry Pie being disqualified and thought she also came across well, but a little too hyper in some areas. She reminded me a lot of Eureka, from season 10.
Jaida was also a good surprise. She definitely played it dowm , claiming to be more of a female impersonator, but then was really able to deliver in the lip synch.
I felt this episode was too similar to last weeks, the summer/fall looks, the bad dance rehearsal, the performances, and the editing could do with a shake up. Its all starting to feel the same.
Personally i'd have given the lipsynch to Sherry Pie, i'm over queens doing split drops, the same pointing fingers, ripping off part of their costume etc.

Loved Jan too. I agree with the judges about too much being thrown in but I’d rather that than a pouty “pageant queen” or somesuch early on. I think she is one to watch.
Still enjoy Drag Race, despite it all been done before many times: but it is like a familiar old dear, shuffling around and doing its thing, biding it’s time.....And those cringing moments when Ru does “sincere” in his talks in the work room. But yes, death drops...oh please! And the equally unoriginal mouth popping.... Do the queens really think they’re impressive tricks nowadays. Well, clearly they do. But originality queens, please!
Hoping we get a good Snatch Game this series. Often it falls so flat, and sometimes by the self-described “comedy queens”,....but when it works, it is a joy!... #dumb-is-forever

Any improv/comedy challenge on Drag Race always makes me cringe. I just find people desperately trying to be funny hard to watch. This was no exception.
I thought most of the runway looks were meh, and Aidan just wearing a long sweater with 10 buttons on it does not cut it.
Definitely the right bottom 2. Dahlia had nothing to offer except thinking she's pretty, and it seemed like she didn't know the words to the lip synch. This is season 12, stop relying on the body, be an all rounder and know the words to the song.

Aiden wears the same thing all the time. A short pastel dress with some arts and crafts on it. It's basic. Very disappointing.
I continue to love Rock and Jan. They are my faves by far. Also Gigi.

Hated that mini challenge. I fast forwarded most of it. Cringmakingly bad.
Looks like they’ve repackaged this to take Sherry Pie’s confessionals out? U less it’s just coincidence that she didn’t have much to say this week.
Heidi is becoming a favourite. Very funny.

It seems like there were 2 edits going around, one featuring less of Sherry Pie (although neither justify her win whatsoever so not sure why she won this episode tbh). The edit I got included a confessional from Sherry and featured more of her group practicing before the maxi-challenge performance. I watched pretty much as soon as it was available on Netflix though (I've been waking up at like 5-something am the last couple of days for some reason so I took advantage) so I don't know if that's the case anymore or if they've swapped it for the one that American streaming services had from the get go which featured less of her. Honestly if they can edit the episodes to show her less but still have everything make sense I wouldn't be mad.
