Here’s how fans reacted to the Drag Race UK semi-final

Drag Race UK was a starstudded episode this week, with the finalists decided at the end.

Spoilers Ahead

The maxi challenge this week was a roast, with the eliminated queens returning to be the audience and be targets of the remaining queens’ gags.

Black Peppa was dismayed at the prospect of another comedy challenge – a field she’s found difficult so far in the competition.

However, her fans were still obsessed with her politician outfit and tenacity in continuing the challenge despite her nerves and a lukewarm response to her gags.

black peppa is so powerful she told a room full of people to laugh and they did

Guest judge Olly Alexander agreed, saying he felt “immediately on her side”.

Cheddar Gorgeous, normally a talented comedian, struggled with the challenge, with Ru telling them that their style was too intelligent for the setting.

Cheddar went last in the challenge, despite their request to go earlier in the line up.

Some fans agreed that this made Cheddar’s task a lot harder, but other’s doubted it would have made a difference.

Danny Beard lived up to their hilarious reputation and was an immediate fan favourite:

Jonbers Blonde was a surprise stand out, taking on the persona of a drunk politician.

The runway theme this week was ‘Pretty in Punk’, and all the queens understood the assignment.

I don’t think you understand how much I loved @thedannybeard runway this week, this is quintessential authentic British punk revived. It’s giving a nod to princess Julia too.. I saw Westwood, I saw U.K. punk with that tartan, then the slogans – just gorgeous! Yes!!!#TeamDanny pic.twitter.com/jwyYjXG72W

In the lip sync, Black Peppa returned to the bottom and was accompanied for the first time by Pixie Polite.

As she’s shown time and again, Black Peppa was again giving it her all.

imagine seeing Black Peppa doing that lip synch with your own two eyeballs…

Pixie unfortunately sashayed away from the competition, to mixed reviews:

#BlackPeppa has room for growth, but she has a unique look, can lipsync the house down, and her runways are EVERYTHING. #Pixie is your standard traditional camp drag queen so I was gobsmacked when she accused #Jonbers of not having a USP. The right queen went home #DragRaceUK

I don’t agree. Pixie Polite should be going to the finale. I ADORE Black Peppa but she spent almost the entire competition in the bottoms two. Can she lip sync? Yes. But she barely delivered when It came to challenges.#RuPaulsDragRaceUK #pixiepolite

Now it’s only the final left before we see who is crowned Drag Race UK’s next biggest superstar, and and fans are already sharing who they support for the win:

If @CheddarGorgeous doesn’t win… that’s confirmation that Britain isn’t real https://t.co/887eIF1KQX

Which witch I gotta commission to cast some spells to ensure Danny Beard wins next week #DragRaceUk #TeamDanny

Being mother is a prerequisite to winning DRUK so look’s like Jonbers has the crown in the bag
