it's illegal for bbc to pay it, but it's not illegal for them to give away prize money. WOW would have to pay it, but unfortunately they don't prioritize the queens. like how are you gonna DOUBLE the winnings on the US franchises while giving the UK franchise queens nothing but a bad webseries and a few enamel pins that literally anyone can buy. the queens are making them so much money and they can't do 10k, the price of a single US all stars lip sync win? lol

no prize afaik btu the queens do get a stipend to help them buy looks now

UKvTW2 has a prize allegedly which is a good start. And the stipend is only £2.5k which is only enough to cover wigs for the MainStage really

Three looks sounds good, hopefully one of them is a design challenge look

I don't expect so, usually the first ep of UK is just a series of prepared runways (1 of which is usually a hometown look)

Spoiler

Episode 1 – Runway presentation (3 looks)

Episode 2 – Cat themed (?) design challenge

Episode 3 - Girl groups

I havent watched MTQ yet but the promo didnt gag me tbh. I dont feel like anyone stands out. But I'll still watch anyway. 

Soft, soothing, and succulent

yeah there wouldn't be enough time to introduce all the queens as well as have a design challenge

I guess it's good for the early outs to show 3 brought looks on episode 1, but goddamn at them needing 4 impactful looks (including entrance) for 1 freaking episode :saladga:

So the ep was a bit of a flop for me.

Spoiler

Charismatic cast but the way they did the 'ball' or whatever just didnt work for me. US10 did a way better job of doing the 'club' catwalk thing [and Jinkx Monsoon got punched in the face]

The way they edited [redacted] I wish they did for 🍒🥧 but I know it would’ve f*cked up the whole season
