UK Season 5
A season also known as “How Drag Race UK got its groove back.”
The UK series seemed to be in dire straits after the past two seasons. Recapturing the magic of Season 2 was an increasingly daunting task. But as Ru himself likes to note, you can’t keep a good queen down. UK Season 5 was a triumph, a return to simple, fun Drag Race the likes of which we hadn’t seen in years. Even a scandal involving a disqualified queen couldn’t ruin the party! So many queens made the journey a great one, from the quick-witted Kate Butch to the first-ever American on UK, Cara Melle. In the end, the northeast won out, with Ginger Johnson, Michael Marouli, and Tomara Thomas all making the grand finale. And while it was a close race between the top two, Ginger ultimately became the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.
