RuPaul on Drag Race: UK: "Let's do it. I'm ready for it!"

7/2/2014

Today, RuPaul and Michelle Visage return with the seventh episode of 'Whats the Tee?' featuring legendary creative director and long-time friend, Mathu Andersen. The kiki begins by discussing Michelle's lunch with UK celebrity Jonathan Ross and his intentions of bringing the Drag Race franchise to Europe, confirmed by RuPaul: 
Jonathan Ross has bought the UK rights to 'RuPaul's Drag Race'  and apparently he's going to do it with another group of people... If it comes to fruition!"

Michelle elaborates on her lunch with Jonathan Ross, emphasizing the importance of RuPaul hosting  the show as well because the people want RuPaul! The people crave RuPaul! 
He’s a huge fan of the show and he believes what I believe- that people want you.  The people don’t want another drag queen, 100%. And when I told him that you were down to do it, he was like "What?! This changes everything. Absolutely! 

This is the way it’s supposed to be…. There’s a huge following that they don’t want anybody else- they want Ru. And the the third person would be that Brit who would tie it all together. You. Me. Third Brit.
RuPaul seemed more than willing:
“Let’s do it! I’m ready for it. I’m ready for it… so, what’s the next step? He’s got to pitch it to a network?”
Though it's still just an idea in the works, this is the most interested RuPaul has ever sounded about participating in the UK version.

It sounds like the tentative judges could be RuPaul, Michelle Visage and Jodie Harsh. At this point, the show needs to be pitched to a network so it might still be a while before we get to see our London beauties on the telly! 

Listen to the rest of the kiki as they discuss Michelle's three week trip through Europe, London drag, social media and much much more!
