Ridiculously addictive
One of my best friends absolutely loves this show, so I decided to give it a watch and I have to admit, it’s a lot more entertaining than I was expecting!
In short, this is basically the drag version of America’s Next Top Model and personally I think it’s a much better version as it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It has it's heartfelt moments, but for the most part it’s just a hilariously entertaining show with some silly tasks and bonkers and bitchy contestants. RuPaul is a great host, but I really don’t like it when he’s plugging/mentioning the brand name sponsors - I’m not sure if it’s because he seems uncomfortable himself, but it doesn’t come across as very genuine, probably because it’s cheesy advertised and horribly scripted. Also, I’m not sure this show is made for binge watching all 10+ series in the space of a few months - I did get a little sick of hearing the same lines and music episode after episode. I’m sure it’s not quite as bad when you don’t watch loads of episodes in one go!
Despite this, it’s still a highly entertaining and rather addictive show to watch. And a welcome breath of fresh air to other similar shows.
