Warning: Spoilers ahead for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 4 episode 3.
This week’s episode RuPaul’s Drag Race UK had it all from tears to laughter, sartorial glasses to fashion faux pas.
After an uphill battle between the queens in the cast to escape the bottom two, Black Peppa and Copper Topp ended up having to lip sync for their lives, trying to impress the main judges. rupees together with fellow jury members Michelle Face, Alan Carr and additional guest star, model Leomie Anderson.
The decision was made after Black Peppa and Copper poured out their souls during Jax Jones’ performance of This Is Real with Ella Henderson, but in the end Copper was the one who was told to leave.
Before the elimination, the queens had been tasked in the maxi challenge to create dazzling runway looks in pairs, with each duo getting a box of materials of a particular color.
Sminty Drop and Le Fil impressed with their blue creations, while Dakota Schiffer and Baby also proved to be a hit in their bold black ensembles.
While Cheddar Gorgeous looked ethereal in her gold dress, her partner Copper didn’t do too well with the judges, with her draped gold cloak over her black bodysuit provoking criticism from the panel.
Danny Beard and Pixie Polite were labeled safe by Ru after taking the stage in their purple outfits, while Black Peppa and Jonbers Blonde didn’t have enough time to realize the visions they had for their clothes.
While Jonbers’ top and skirt had a slightly more polished finish, Black Peppa’s skirt literally fell down as they shone on the runway with their gear, despite all the hard work they’d put into putting the fabric together in the Work Cream.
Copper profusely thanked Ru for the impact Drag Race has had on her throughout her life, saying onstage, “From the first series in the US, I’ve been obsessed with this show and it saved my life. It’s really a blessing to be in this series and I can’t thank you [RuPaul] enough.’
She continued: ‘This was great. It took me so long to find myself… This is amazing and beautiful and I’m so, so grateful.’
In her message to her fellow queens that she left on the Werk Room mirror, she wrote: ‘Love you all so much. Count your lucky stars, you are not playing against me at Snatch Game. Love, The Old Maiden x.’
After her departure, Copper said she was “excited” by her time in the competition and said it took a long time for her to “accept myself.”
“By being myself on the show, I feel like I’ve taken a huge step forward in my life,” she said.
‘I’m really proud of myself now and can’t wait to see what the future holds, and it’s all thanks to Drag Race UK!’
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK continues next Thursday at 9pm on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
