Thought it might be worth having a place for us to discuss all things Drag Race and maybe even for drag fans to find out more about the show!
For me personally, my favourite seasons are:
France S2
España All Stars
UK S2 & S6
USA All Stars 6 & 7
UKvsTheWorld S2
Phillipines S3
Also, in terms of seasons airing in 2025, we currently have America S17 airing weekly at the moment and that’s all.
Espana S5 has been filmed already, and will probably air in the next few months, America All Stars 10 has been partially filmed (they’re filming the last few eps soon I believe) and that’s it! Not a lot compared to 2024, I think last year they spread them out wrong, we had a huge gap in the middle of the year and then tons at the end of the year.
Brasil S2, UK S7 and France All Stars started filming in the last week or so, due to air this year. UKvsTheWorld S3 starts filming Monday and will air next year 
Love a bit of Drag Race but only UK and Down Under. Everything I’ve seen of the US show seems to accentuate the bits I don’t like - basically the bitchiness.
We’ve watched all the UK seasons including both UK vs the World, Canada vs the World (because it had UK queens on it) and all but the most recent Down Under (which we will get to soon).
In the world ones it’s always obvious that the US queens think bitchiness will get them through but they always discover it doesn’t. The UK and other international queens work to lift each other up and any bitchiness is rarely heartfelt.
And the last UK season had one of the best Snatch Games ever.
don’t get me started! the current one is really getting on my nerves. my first ever season was s10 of america, then caught up from there and kept watching. i’ve seen almost all (nearly 70) seasons of the franchise. the american one is the most popular sadly, imo its just boring now compared to the likes of france, and others. i took a few years off the main american one but caught up last year cause of FOMO.
massively agree, i loved this season. i had actually given up on the UK franchise after s4, because when i saw s5 had no scots again i felt so just angry. s6 was a fluke but i loved it having a queen from every uk nation, imo that should be how it always is but the uk7 cast leaked and its very england centric again, and actually scotlands the only nation not represented in uk7…
i’d recommend some of the international ones if you can handle subtitles as i know some people aren’t subtitle lovers!
We used to watch it until it got pulled from Netflix (in the UK).
Now we just watch those posted on BBC iPlayer (UK, Down Under, usually Canada, and any of those vs The World).
I was beginning to tire of it as there were SO MANY, so I’m not missing the US versions from Netflix.
they have their own streaming platform, i believe not many know this? its considerably cheaper than netflix, disney etc. its i think 5.99 a month? really worthwhile as i use it for every franchise, they have every franchise bar your own countries!
Oh yeah I didn’t know about this.
its very worthwhile imo, i get my fair share out of it. for anyone wanting to try the, imo usually, superior franchises i can recommend some! honestly limiting to english only ones i feel you’re missing out, especially if you loved any queens like marina, or lgd on vstw!
The husband and I adore Drag Race. One of the girls on the current US season is a friend of a friend (Suzie Toot) and we are elated to know she’s doing very well.
We tend to watch all the English seasons and have talked about dipping our toes into France, Italia, Spain, and Philippines.
aw i love suzie so far!!! i’m really not here for the bitchy clique this season tbh, nor their treatment of hormona 
oooh i’d highly recommend certain ones!!! its funny that for a few years espana was the most popular non-english franchise, but in all honesty france/philippines have overtaken it. imo the 3rd/4th seasons of espana weren’t as groundbreaking as the first, or their all stars.
i’d say phillipines is quite a good entry cause they do speak a lot of english too since its one of their national langauges. france too is incredible, and getting its own all stars this year!
Why doesn’t the UK get All Stars?
I believe vs The World has taken the place of All Stars for UK which is a shame. Speaking of, I’ve needed a crown on La Voix’s head since the first episode of Season 6 so please bring her back soon.
it has vs the world instead, some people i know would rather a UK only all stars, but for me i’m quite glad we have vs the world because i don’t know if any of you watched global all stars last year but it was one of if not the worst season i’ve ever endured, and i’ve seen nearly 70…
her not winning was criminal… really shocked me. but unlike a lot of fans, i wont send hate to kyran! it baffles me that for a show like this the fans are so toxic (aren’t all fans, lol). i remember when lawrence won, she’s my favourite ever drag race queen, the hate she received was horrendous. some really vile people out there.
Oh I love me some Lawrence Cheney. Their interview with Maddy Morphosis just made me absolutely fall in love and I haven’t looked back since.
glad to hear it. i’m so chuffed for them post-season but during the season airing it was brutal, really some of the worst hate i’ve seen anyone get on this show and i’ve seen lots of queens get hate. really lovely in person too!
got a question for everyone that’s so far contributed to the thread (thanks btw!!! we should totally exchange faves + wants for future all stars)
i was thinking, sometimes in my spare time i like using a drag race simulator someone made it’s incredibly detailed with statistics, placements, etc. you can simulate your fantasy all stars, re-simulate an existing season with different rules/formats, or one with completely custom characters!
i was thinking… what if i had a thread on the forum games where people (drag race fans and non-fans alike) voted for who should be on a season from the whoniverse, and maybe every day, or week, i send the results out like an actual episode? 
I discovered Drag Race thank twelvesoswald. I always wanted to start this show but I didn’t know where to watch and where to start, so it was really helpful to have them! So far I’ve seen a few seasons and I think that France is my favorite one, and I dislike none of them.
Otherwise, I’d be totally happy to see a Drag Race simulation with Who characters!
Honestly the options are pretty endless! Could do a season just Torchwood characters, just Classic Who characters, and so on. Not sure if a voting system would work, perhaps maybe a suggestions and I pick them as the overseer of it. Not sure but perhaps I could start a thread, do some polls as well to gauge different opinions and such like, could be a fun little weekly activity! What does everyone think, worth a shot?
Even if it’s just a single season we could see the 3rd Doctor win Snatch Game as Queen Elizbeth II then be sent home by Bernice Summerfield just before the finale to WAP 
excuse the random choice of characters, and also the images being blank I’d put them on for a proper season! I’d maybe like to hear some thoughts but if I’m barking up the wrong tree feel free to say!
