Episode 2
for the contestant progress, etc and kita should be placed high as they were called forward with anita and sent to the back, it’s the same thing as when a winning team gets sent to the back without critiques or during as5 when blair and mayhem were declared high even though they also didn’t receive critiques BitterrrTwinkkk (talk) 17:49, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

It’s not the same thing, this was not a team challenge. There was one winner called, and then two people called as safe afterwards, and the rest were up for elimination. Billwebster91 (talk) 04:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

yeah, but being called safe while everyone else was in the bottom implies that you were in the top, and no one is talking about how this is the same scenario as as5 when blair and mayhem were called forward, with no critiques, and called safe, but declared high, there was a winner called and then two other girls were called forward as safe, it’s literally the same exact situation, kita and etc should be marked as high BitterrrTwinkkk (talk) 03:07, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Your evidence here is weak, as in All Stars 5, Blair and Mayhem were named as the best group of the week. They were explicitly named by RuPaul as being within the top this week. In this case, Etcetera and Kita were only called out as safe, with no comment on their performance whatsoever. The rest were all declared up for elimination, and as such, were in the bottom this week. This situation is more akin to S7E5, where Kennedy and Jaidynn were also declared safe, alongside the winners, with no comment on their performance (and I disagree with the HIGH placement on the chart for them as well for the exact same reasons). Byebyebirdy547 (talk) 10:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes, Blair and Mayhem were called as the winning group that week, hence the high placement for them. So again, not the same situation. Billwebster91 (talk) 03:50, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Episode 6
For the contestant progress for episode 6, is it not more inline with Snatch Game in the sense only one person got positive critiques. The rest of the placements I think are accurate except for Karen's. Should she not just be marked SAFE, she received both positive and negative critiques but was ultimately declared saved, like Art. The only time she's really referred to as HIGH, is by herself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.7.246.216 (talk) 16:05, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Episode 5
Art was low just like Karen, they both received the same bad critiques, two queens can be low in a episode, just because art was called first doesn’t mean she was safe, just like Olivia in season 13 in episode 11, she was low just like gottmik, because both received the same bad critiques and it didn’t matter that Olivia was called fist, she was still low Nolian (talk) 09:39, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Episode 7
I just wanted to start a dialogue about this episode's placement without edit-warring. Karen and Art were both called safe after the bottom two was announced, and both received negative comments from Ru in that sequence, hence why I changed their placements to LOW. I do agree that Art was given mainly positive critiques, and a HIGH could be argued for (though SAFE2 would be closer), but Karen was criticised heavily for the simplicity and length of her performance, and only positively critiqued for her look. I would therefore still argue that Karen should be LOW, whilst Art should be either HIGH or SAFE2. Byebyebirdy547 (talk) 11:56, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Stop putting art high and Karen safe2, they were both low, they were saved for not reason when they deserved to be in the bttm2 more than kita and alektra, both received bad critiques especially Karen so she was low and art too Nolian (talk) 17:10, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under (season 1)

Move to Drag Race Down Under?
Should we move this article to Drag Race Down Under? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 17 March 2024

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Partial move, partial no move. There was strong consensus to move the article of the main show and then associated episode list as well as the most recent season 4 article given that was the name of the show at the time of publication. For the same reason, there was consensus against moving the articles for the seasons which were produced and aired under the previous name. The comment with regards to the discontinued use of parenthesis is closed without consensus for the lack participation here, but may be treated as uncontrovsial given the previous discussion in TV naming conventions. (non-admin closure)  microbiology Marcus [petri dish·growths] 01:07, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

– Moving forward, the show will be called "Drag Race Down Under", per Variety These articles should note the former title appropriately, but I propose removing "RuPaul" from the title of all entries related to the show. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:34, 17 March 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Oppose, especially for historical seasons: Those seasons had the name that they had. We shouldn't change them retroactively. See the artwork at the top of each article, for example. The font size for "RuPaul's" is even bigger than for the rest of it. For the main show, evidence of a change of common name is needed (e.g., independent reliable sources using the new name and not mentioning the old one, not just an announcement that the official name will change). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:18, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support 1st and 2nd (and 6th) move per nom (as that's now the name of the show), but Oppose the other moves (the ones for the historical seasons) per User:BarrelProof. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:44, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support the first two moves and the sixth move, but oppose the rest since seasons one through three have already premiered with the previous host (RuPaul). — JuanGLP (talk/contribs) 00:32, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Television controversies in Australia
I re-added category Category:Television controversies in Australia as this is significant - The Guardian article discusses contestants being kicked off the show but says that this isn't happening for Adams or KfF. I would argue similar categories should be added for US season 12 for the Sherry Pie thing if it doesn't already exist. ≫  Lil- Unique1  -{ Talk  }- 21:50, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , This article is not about a television controversy. The category is not representative of the series as a whole. I suggest removal. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:55, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
