Oh my god...
I just cant stop looking at myself! oh my god ok...
Hi Ugly!
It's me, Bussy.
And welcome back to Hot or Rot!
And today, we'll be reviewing episode four of Rupaul's drag race UK Season 3.
Our queens were challenged to write lyrics and perform original choreography to a new
girls group single called "B.D.E.".
That's "Big Drag Energy", by the way.
Ya nasty!
And on the runway, category was "Night of 1000 Spice Girls" with the whole episode being
Appropriately being guest judged by Baby Spice herself.
We'll be breaking all of that down and then at the end of today's episode, spilling some
HOT tea.
It seems Willam is backtracking some claims that she made aerlier this summer on Hot Goss
in a new episode of Hot Goss.
And veronica has finally spoken out concerning the A'Whora Situation.
We've got a lot to cover today - but first my champions need me!

RPG of all time.
You're probably already familiar with the over 600 champions that you can battle with
and customize in RAID, but my favorite part of the game is actually the dungeon boss battles.
For example, check out this girl boxx - Sylvannia.
She's the guardian of the Spirit Keep.
And yes, this 10 foot tall elvaan goddess is absolutely serving, but don't let her looks
deceive you.
We've still gotta take her down so we can get some of those sweet sweet spirit potions
so we can upgrade our champions.
Doing so isn't easy though, because she can heal 50% of her health every turn.
I like to use Pigsticker, who's got a heal debuff skill and deals crazy damange.
And she pairs great with Ruffstone, who's got a max HP decrease skill.
Sylvannia, sashay away!
And speaking of champions and strategizing, let's go ahead and get ourselves some new
recruits over at the summoning portal by using some Ancient Shards.
Ooh - BogWalker!
And if you're looking to get some even cooler champions, make sure to participate in some
of RAID'S special events like the upcoming Halloween tournaments and fragment shard events.
Oh and another pro tip, don't forget to click the link in the description of this video
or scan the QR code.
All new players downloading RAID using my special link are gonna get Chonoru added to
their team, who's an epic champion that excels in the Doom Tower.
Plus you'll also get 200,000 silver, 1 XP boost, 1 energy refill, and 1 ancient shard
so you can summon an awesome champion as soon as you get into the game.
And make sure to get in ASAP because you'll only be able to redeem your special rewards
for the next 30 days.
And once you're in, you can find me under the name BussyQueen.
See ya there!
Thanks so much to RAID for sponsoring today's video.
Now, let's spice up our lives shall we?
First we'll be taking a look at the Slice Girls team - made up of Krystal, Charity,
Kitty, and Scarlett.
Krystal comes out first and the tone that Krystal sets for her group is very - "[___]
Track Number".
Which I think is very appropriate considering the title and tempo of the song, but the judges
said they wanted more.
She says, S[___] on legs.
She's the face and the grace.
Big UH, tiny waist.
I'm fiercer than fierce.
I'm the queen of the queers.
It's Krystal with a K.
Just sit back and watch me slay.
Which to the judges credit, yeah I mean it's a pretty standard verse for a [___] track.
But like, what were they really looking for here?
At the end of the day this is a Rupaul [____] track, not Adele's next single.
She's honestly done so well in the competition, proven that she's so well rounded that I think
the judges are even struggling to give her critique on how to improve.
This performance from Krystal was HOT.
And her runway, no surprise, does not disapoint.
She's doing a Baby Spice look which is a baby blue coat that she has dragged up - I think
made her own a little bit - and dare I say it might be even a tad bit better than the
original.
I love what she did with the longer pigtails and how she made the silhouette even more
dramatic with her crazy proportions and the way the coat is tailored.
Hit me baby spice one more time, this look is HOT.
Next up, Charity.
And after this episode she might need some.
We know off the bat her lyrics are gonna be weird kooky and crazy, but did she play it
up just a little bit too much tonight?
She sang, it's Charity Kase I am the glamour disgrace.
The wicked witch of drag.
Have I got snot on my face?
Yeah I'm a sinner Gonna be a winner
All dressed up looking like the dog's dinner Might be a bottom, but it's hard to top me
Come on ru, give the crown to Charity.
i think this verse actually started off good - like the first half was really solid unique
and fun.
The second part, got a little confusing.
Might be a bottom, but it's hard to top me is a really funny like but I don't feel it
fit the feel or theme of the song.
And i think she committed the cardinal sin of writing a Rupaul [___] track.
"Come on Ru, give the crown to Charity".
The number of verses that end with, "Give me the crown", "Give the crown to me", girl
far too much.
On top of the fact that she was like, trying way too hard to stand out and be like the
different one of the group.
Bubble bubble, toil and girl you're in trouble this was a ROT.
Her runway though, girl if I've ever seen anyone do a "180" in an episode?
She's doing Scary Spice.
And Mel B was pretty well known for her leopard, and I guess in general cat print looks.
Hence, what we have going on here.
The judges made a pretty big deal of her not looking like Mel B.
Like - not truly giving the Spice Girls fantasy.
But the funny thing was that Baby Spice was sitting up there like, "Oh my god Mel B would
love this.
She would wear this."
I loved it becase it felt like I was looking at a video game NPC that's like about to give
you a side quest but first you have to solve their riddles.
Charity, this look is literally scary.
And HOT!
Next up, The Cockney queen is in the house.
It's Scarlett Harlett.
This one, I will say I was nervous for as soon as the episode started and we heard what
they were doing.
Because, we just saw her in the Dragoton little situation and not being in time with the rest
of her group.
Her lyrics went like this, The Cockney Queen's in the house
Scarlett's quiet like a mouse And like my ***** I'm going in raw.
The campiest queen you ever saw.
All you other girls get out my pub.
Fade into the background, can't relate Think you're gonna beat me?
Pfft, no mate.
Umm... mhmm..
I was super taken aback watching this when she said the "raw" line and then confused
when she called herself the campiest queen you ever did see, because I guess I wouldn't
ever really think of her being or describe her as a "campy queen".
So, I'm not sure what she was going
for there.
I
think she
just
wanted something that rhymed.
and in general, the lyrics were really all over the place,
like one second we’re talking about eating in a pub and the next we’re doing it raw, so, girl.
maybe she could have made all these crazy lyrics work had she not also forgotten them
in the performance and missed a lot of her choreography which really did hurt
to watch but I’ll be honest it kinda made me love her even more I was like oh my god
so relatable like when the anxiety gets to you and you literally just blank.
Although it was of course horrible for her that it happened in front of Ru Paul,
Michelle, Baby Spice, and was televised to an international audience. Scarlet,
feel for ya, but, yeah this performance was a Rot.
And unfortunately on the runway, we didn’t really get a redemption from Scarlet tonight. I think
this look was headed in the right direction. It’s a direct reference to one of Mel B’s looks,
however I think the proportions of the boots and dress are just a tad off which make her
entire silhouette look almost too short or tiny and she’s actually quite a tall girl.
Plus she didn’t really customize the look or put her stamp on it which made
it feel more like a wannabe instead of the real deal. This look is a Rot.
Next up she’s got talent and claws, it’s Kitty. Firstly, she was absolutely phenominal throughout
the entire episode. She sang, lock up your doubts. It’s Kitty Scott-Claus. Dancing ‘round the street.
Make you wanna wet your drawers. Birmingham Babe Moved to London town. Watch out hons,
I mean to snatch that crown. Material girl with the funnies and sass. Knockers
for days and a real juicy mmm. Bringing the camp to season 3. Sweetie darlings,
it’s all about me. Her lyrics were solid, funny, and I think accurately described herself.
They were just a bit tracky enough. This was Hot. And on the runway she has another home run. She’s
doing a baby spice look which I think she wore on the 2019 reunion tour. It’s almost an exact
replica and I love that she probably already had this in her closet. We of course learned this
episode that she’s not only part of multiple girl groups but also does baby spice regularly in drag.
And while the silk wasn’t customized, like I think some of the other really great looks were tonight,
I did appreciate it because the reference was so spot on and exact. Kitty, this look is Hot.
Next up, team 2. Pick n’ mix. Just like Chex Mix. And this group got the mid temp version
of BDE which I thought “oh, it’s gonna flop.” A mid tempo pop song… uh. Probably not best for
drag race but girl, did they turn it out. First in the group is Ella Vaday, and she gave us one
El of a performance. She sang, Drag beast from the east it’s Ella Vaday. Got BDE and I’m here to
stay. Like a singin’ assassin I keep you gaggin’. Keep you guessin’ baby. Never keep your feelings
inside, embrace yourself and show your pride. You’re stronger than you know. Make everyday Ella
Vaday. Ella I think does a great job for setting the tone of this version of BDE. This version
instead of being a [_] track like the previous one is gonna be more about self-empowerment and love
with a touch of subtle flexing. And she did great don’t get me wrong, I’m gonna give her verse and
performance a Hot. However, I have to say I almost wanted a little more power out of her voice.
She really built herself up early in this season talking about how she got the wicked spot that
Veronica had been lusting after. All that to say I think I would have been 10x more impressed had
she not set herself up to be such an excellent theatrical performer so early in the season.
And on the runway she is doing a dragged up customized version of Sporty Spice’s
look in Wannabe. At first I was like ok she’s giving me way too much butch.
And then I was like wait I kind of love it. It was silly, ridiculous, fun, and I think we’re
really starting to see Ella’s personality come out which is nice. And speaking of flexing tonight did
yall catch those biceps? And those push-ups? Ella Vaday, this look was Hot, and sweaty.
Next up, Vanity Milan. In the challenge she sang,
Vanity Milan Imma hit the ground runnin’. Don’t shy or hide away from nothin’. Live your life,
ha, do it right. Your skin won’t define who you are inside. Never worry about what people say,
it’s our life, we’ll make it anyway. Hey, say it loud, yeah, say it proud. BDE girl, bow down.
Technically speaking, I think her verse did have too many filler words, like ha,
yeah, and hey. However she delivered her verse well, had a unique message,
and definitely fit the essence of the song. And I think it definitely showed that she had that
fire under her ass after being in the bottom after the past two episodes. Her performance was Hot. On
the runway though, she is doing Scary Spice as well, but in tiger print. And as much as I wanted
to like this look tonight, I can’t really commit to saying that I did. Like girl, it’s not right,
but it’s ok. She acknowledges that it is leaning into the executive fantasy but I’m not sure
why. This looks is like very like secretary working 9-5 but has to hit the stage at 7. I
think to improve this look, she maybe should have had some tighter tailoring on the pants to really
give that va va voom to her silhouette. As well as not include the corset on the outside of her top,
I think it really just looked distracting with all of the tiger stripes that were all over the look
and the leopard heels which didn’t match. They say a tiger never changes their stripes,
but maybe this one should adjust them slightly. This look is a Rot.
Next up, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ down River Medway. Not a singer, not a dancer,
I’m not a seamstress, but I do look like a Bratz doll tonight. It’s Rivery Medway. In the challenge
her lyrics were The river is here, everybody dive in. Loving myself from the deep within. Femme
everyday, I mean 24/7. Missin’ my mama, but I know she up in heaven, keep fightin’ everyday,
don’t worry about a thing or what people say. That’s what I really want you to know,
big drag energy, for one for all. I liked her verse a lot because she
focused on self-love and it was also a beautiful homage to her mother who we got a little more
context about this episode. River dove deep, and it paid off. This performance was Hot.
On the runway though, I was questioning her passion for fashion. Waist up,
she’s giving me girl power glamazon, and in particular I love the hair and crown,
this is actually a direct reference to one of Ginger Spice’s looks. But from the waist down
I’m getting like Richard Simmon’s workout video. I think this would have worked a lot better had she
done a skirt and given herself a little more of a silhouette in the bottom to round out her figure.
Waist up I think this look is absolutely Hot. But let’s stop right there because the rest is a Rot.
Next up, Spicy Spice. It’s Choriza. In the verse she sang, This is my rebellion,
This is my chance. To take over the world from Spain to the UK. My art is of me,
you have nothing to say. You’re not ready for Choriza May. And now in Spanish, I’m known world
wide, tell those tarantulas to stop being better. Yes my accent is thick, but much more is my BDE.
Hands down I think Choriza had the funniest verse
tonight. Mostly because I was a little bit confused at what the [_] was going on
but the chaos is what made it so perfect. The tarantulas translation was also a little
strange for me, if somebody could give me the reference to why she said tarantulas,
please let me know in the comments below. Overall though this verse was definitely unique,
just like Choriza is, and I think she brought an element of comedy, camp, and rediculosity, yes we
just invented that word here. To this challenge that was much needed, Choriza this was Hot.
And on the runway her uniqueness shines through again. She was so successful tonight,
I think because she did an iconic reference that everybody knows. Like girl everyone
has seen Ginger in this iconic Union Jack dress. It could have been boring, but instead
she personalized it, dragged it up, added that beautiful cape with the different colors,
the stones tights, did she stone those tights? She delivered an iconic easily
recognizable reference with her own unique drag fantasy and girl if she keeps it up she
will be taking over the world from Spain all the way to the UK. This look is Hot.
Overall, I’ve gotta say I was so impressed by the Pick n’ Mix group. They were all kinda our
underdogs of the season so far and each one stood out in their own unique way. Well at the same time
maintaining big team energy. Everything that the first group did wrong, the second group did
right. Their looks were cohesive, their lyrics all matched. And they managed to both brag about
themselves while also spreading the message of love. That said, I will say their choreo overall
looked a lot easier to learn. That first group was so fast paced that girl, if I had been in
that group, I would have been flopping all over that stage and probably would have been doing
what Charity was doing crawling on all fours because I didn’t know how to dance.
The win tonight goes to the entire Pick n’ Mix group and our bottom two are from the other
group. Scarlet Harlet and Charity Case. And I did react to their lip sync over on my Patreon
over at patreon.com/bussyqueen. That’s my member’s only website where my Patron family gets exclusive
member benefits like early access to my videos, exclusive videos, access to the [_] Queen discord
server and more. Click the link in the description of my video to join today. See ya there.
The lip sync I think was great from both of them, however, if I had to pick a winner,
I would give it to Scarlet Harlet. She just really sold the fantasy for me and was emoting her face
in a way that said I am never gonna let you down ever again. She killed it. Charity I think selling
an equally as great fantasy, however, it was a little bit masked by her mask. It was just kinda
hard to see what she was doing. But Ru Paul does use a double save and keeps both of them in the
competition. This I think being a really perfect opportunity to use a double shantay because these
two queens, from what we’ve seen so far are easily top 4 competitors. And seeing either of them go
home this episode really just wouldn’t have felt right. Especially considering Scarlet won last
week. Overall for this episode though I think the judges made all the right calls, the bottom two
made perfect sense and the winning team, also correct. And we’ll be giving Hottest Hots at
the end of the video but let’s go ahead and move on to the drama and sip some Hot tea. First up,
Veronica Green, she did an interview with Tea and Coffee where she spilled the tea about how she
really felt concerning the A Whora situation. Ya know, the one where A Whora said this:
And I would Veronica “mean” because why, because she’s [_]. She’s annoying, she’s a little [_]
backstage, and also, she gets kicked out fairly early on season 3 so why not [_] her off again?”
And Veronica had up until this point maintained
her silence concerning what was going on but has now said this:
“So A Whora has reached out to me privately. I ignored it and then left the season 2 whatsapp
chat. The timing’s not right. When, when I feel ready, I will talk to her and we can
have a proper, a proper chat about it and talk about it because when it comes to that video,
I’m not bothered whether somebody likes me or not. People are free to say whatever they like about me
behind my back because people’s opinions of me is none of my business. I don’t actually hold that
against her you know, it’s not nice to listen to when you’re being tagged in it by a million
and one people. She can say that and that’s, that’s her right to have that opinion of me.”
Finishing the interview saying that she ultimately was more upset with A Whora
spoiling her early elimination than anything else.
Next up Willam, in the latest Hot Gos episode with Alaska on their podcast,
she’s heard backtracking what she’s said earlier this summer concerning the
production of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK season 3. This is what she originally said:
“Season 3 of Drag Race was filming over here and they did one episode a day. They cranked it the
[_] out because Ru had to film something else right after, I guess the international season.”
And now on the recent episode Willam is saying this:
“There’s some people on the internet that think that I meant when I said
uh they shot some episodes in one day. That every episode this season was shot
in one day. Every episode on this season on the UK season was not shot in one day,
but there were some that were shot in one day and ok one of those days was you know, recent.”
And as I said when I originally played that first clip for yall in my previous Hot or Rot episode,
their podcast is called Hot Gos, not Hot Truth. And as it turns out the gos was only partially
true. Allegedly. Which funnily enough, we actually did get a confessional from
Scarlet Harlet this episode, talking about how she’d be rehearsing the choreography
for filming the next day. So yeah, the filming schedule might have been a bit more normal than we
all had previously believed. All of this of course being a great reminder that tea is fun to sip on,
but what you see online, may not always be the truth. Now, onto Hottest Hots.
This week my Hottest Hot on the runway goes to Choriza May. I also asked my Patrons to
vote for their Hottest Hot and they’ve chosen Crystal Versace. As always I wanna say thanks to
everyone who has made my channel possible, that’s you, sponsors like today’s video sponsor: Raid:
