** For the ''Hotline Makeover'' challenge of week 8, the queens are partnered with operators from The Switchboard, a volunteered-manned listening service for the LGBT+ community, and challenged with creating a drag family resemblance. Partnered with volunteer Xan (now brilliantly 'Femily Brontë'), who matches her cool, quirky vibe, Kate creates a legally-safe ''Film/{{Grease}}''-themed look that's in practise a cute Danny and Sandy drag mashup, but as the judges note, it lacks the family resemblance they're looking for. Landing in the bottom two, [=DeDe=] sends her home.

* MiniMe: For the ''Hotline Makeover'' challenge of week 8, the queens are partnered with operators from The Switchboard, a volunteered-manned listening service for the LGBT+ community, and challenged with creating a drag family resemblance. Partnered with volunteer Gemma, who stands at a very petite 4'11", Tomara leans in to their height difference, creating cute, tessellating looks in a Chanel-esque bouclé weave, and delivering a joyfully silly but very much in-sync runway performance.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: For the ''Hotline Makeover'' challenge of week 8, the queens are partnered with operators from The Switchboard, a volunteered-manned listening service for the LGBT+ community, and challenged with creating a drag family resemblance. Partnered with volunteer Peter, a charming older man in his mid-sixties who details his own struggles in coming to terms with his sexuality in less enlightened times, Michael immediately forms a very strong bond with Peter in the Werk Room. For their runway, Michael creates matching ringmaster-meets-dominatrix looks that present the family resemblance aspect perfectly, but it's the pair's emotional performance on the runway, including a powerfully moving gesture to celebrate victims of the AIDS epidemic, that clinches them the win.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: For the ''Hotline Makeover'' challenge of week 8, the queens are partnered with operators from The Switchboard, a volunteered-manned listening service for the LGBT+ community, and challenged with creating a drag family resemblance. Partnered with volunteer Rodrigo (now dubbed 'Ruiva -- Ginger in Rodrigo's native Portuguese -- Johnson'), Ginger creates a perfectly complementary 60s dollybird-themed look for the pair that's so well executed and in-sync that when they walk out onto the main stage for the first time, it's tricky to tell who's who. The judges ''love'' their pairing, and Ginger is ''just'' edged out on the win by Michael and her partner's standout performance.

All names, ages, and locations stated are at the time of filming.

----

!Miss Naomi Carter [-(9th)-]

* ConsummateProfessional: When performing, Vicki is as camp and silly as any queen, but in the Werk Room and especially in confessionals, she's very earnest, and quite serious in tone, always focussing on the task at hand and avoiding drama where she can.

** Following a poor showing the ''Disaster Class'' panel-based challenge of episode 4, during critiquing, Vicki explains to the judges that she promised herself to always be honest whilst on the show, and then goes on to detail how she feels she could have done a much better moderating job than Banksie. In the Werk Room, utterly furious, Banksie marches off set.

* WrittenInAbsence: All of the previously eliminated queens returned to the series to form the audience for the ''Dragiators Roast'' challenge of week 9 -- except Cara, who is noted to be too ill to attend. In an unusual turn of events, she is also the only queen to not come BackForTheFinale the following week.

** When all of the previously-eliminated queens reconvene in the Werk Room following the ''Dragiators Roast'' challenge of week 9, the atmosphere is congenial and fun -- until Vicki pipes up and uses the opportunity to put DeDe on blast over her catty comments about Alexis in the premiere. The following week, Michael and Ginger joke that she turned up looking vengeful, enhanced by a fried-looking wig that lent her a slightly mad, frazzled look.

* BrutalHonesty: In keeping with her serious tone, Vicki can be quite blunt. Following a poor showing the ''Disaster Class'' panel-based challenge of episode 4, during critiquing, Vicki explains to the judges that she promised herself to always be honest whilst on the show, and then goes on to detail how she feels she could have done a much better moderating job than Banksie. In the Werk Room, utterly furious, Banksie marches off set.

!Ginger Johnson 
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ginger_1.png]]

->'''Age''': 34
->'''From''': Lanchester, County Durham

->"That toilet's blocked."

* TheSixties: Ginger's go-to era of reference, many of her runways as well as her ''Hotline Makeover'' look are inspired by the decade's florally-vibrant, psychedelic aesthetic.
* AirGuitar: A variation on the theme; for the ''Club Bangers'' girl groups challenge of episode three, she teams up with fellow quirky queens Banksie and Kate, as well as an injured Miss Naomi. Realising that the foursome will never match their rivals' choreo skills, Ginger leans into comedy, beginning the number by playing Miss Naomi's ''injured foot'' like a saxophone and ChewingTheScenery like the rent's due.
* BigFun: In her first confessional, Ginger describes herself as “a helium balloon in the shape of a woman” and throughout the competition, she maintains a level of robust, positive energy.

* WholeCostumeReference: For her ''Night of a Thousand Pop Icons'' runway, she celebrates British music legend Sir Music/EltonJohn in a dragged-up, carnival-queen take on his iconic ''Rocket Man'' look.


!Michael Marouli 
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/michael_83.png]]

->'''Age''': 39
->'''From''': Newcastle, Tyne and Wear

->"All right, lasses. Michael Marouli on Season 5? Oh, uh-huh!"
----

* {{Bifauxnen}}: For the {{Pantomime}}-themed ''Panto-oh She Better Don't'' Rusical in episode 5, Michael elects to play Dick, the Principal Boy role and plucky young hero of panto classic ''Literature/DickWhittingtonAndHisCat''. Michael puts in a strong performance, particularly in her romantic duet with Vicki's Milkmaid ingenue, and once again places high for the week.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Having won the mini-challenge in week 4, Tomara is gifted with the opportunity to assign teams for the ''Disaster Class'' panel-based maxi-challenge. Immediately, Tomara selects Michael and Ginger, forming a GirlPosse of UsefulNotes/NorthEastEngland queens who go on to obliterate the competition with their master class on the do's and don'ts of a drunken night out in Newcastle. The trio each deservedly bag a [=RuPeter=] Badge.
* CommonalityConnection: In the premiere, Michael and Vicki (39 and 36 respectively) bond over being the oldest queens in the group, noting that the world has changed dramatically for young queer folk since their own formative years.
* {{Cyberpunk}}: Michael's ''Fierce Impressions'' look in the premiere is a beautifully-crafted future punk look made up of a constricting leather bodice, spiked ballooned sleeves and leggings covered in blue-green reflective sequins, and rainbow-streaked, punked-up hair.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: At 39, she's the oldest queen this series and is a mainstay of the [[UsefulNotes/CanaryIslands Gran Canaria]] (where she is now based) and North East drag scenes.
* FusionDance: For her ''Night of a Thousand Pop Icons'' runway, Michael creates a brilliant look that's a zombified mashup of all five Music/SpiceGirls, bolted together with huge black stitches. The judges love the look and deem it a perfect choice for girls groups week.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Michael regularly leans in to Newcastle's reputation as a UK party town for her drag, and celebrates the fact for the ''Pajamarama'' runway in week 7 via her mascara-smeared, walk-of-shame glamourpuss look, complete with 'tabs' (cigarettes), a hamburger, a can of lager, and a ''jockstrap'' stashed in her wig.
-->'''Ru''': Just a personal question from me -- [[SarcasmMode what lip-liner are you using?]]
-->'''Michael''' (plastered in lipstick): This is actually an invisible nude.
* {{Homage}}: For the ''Snatch Game'', Michael presents her own take on two of UK comedienne Creator/CatherineTate's characters; Bernie, the incompetent, randy Irish nurse, and Derek "how very dare you" Faye, a camp ArmouredClosetGay who becomes easily-outraged over any assumption of his (obvious) homosexuality. Often on ''Snatch Game'', playing an established creator's own characters can fall flat, as the impersonation is inevitably heavily compared to the source, but Michael gives a well-observed performance and ultimately places safe.
* LivingDrawing: For her ''Slaycation'' runway in episode 4, Michael smartly creates a living postcard look, with her posing in a striped Gaultier-style bikini whilst projecting a huge 'Wish You Were Here!' postcard from her shoulders to provide a bright, summer holiday-themed backdrop to her performance.
* NiceGirl: Michael exhibits a warm, engaging tone throughout the competition, but it's the ''Hotline Makeover'' challenge of week 8 that emphasises what a good egg she really is via her interactions with her partner Peter, an operator at The LGBT+ Switchboard with whom she instantly forms a strong, supportive bond, always ensuring that the makeover is predominantly an exercise in making Peter feel great about himself in drag.
* PhraseCatcher: Ru and Michelle delight in saying her name in a thick {{Joisey}} accent whenever referring to her.
* PowerTrio: The three Northeastern queens -- Ginger, Tomara, and her -- produce an excellent showing in the ''Disaster Class'' panel-based maxi-challenge of episode 4, which they base around a subversive etiquette lesson on nights out in Newcastle. The trio, strong from the start, go on to make it all the way to the final.
* RecognitionFailure: Michael, a 15-year veteran of drag, notes with chagrin that she doesn’t think the other queens who have entered up to that point -- Tomara, Banksie and Miss Naomi -- have a clue who she is. Cara and [=DeDe=] have a far stronger reaction from the queens upon entry, with Cara in particular inspiring major cheers.
* SpecialPersonNormalName: In the premiere, she explains that 'Michael' is simply her real name, and she's never used a drag pseudonym.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: For the ''Hotline Makeover'' challenge of week 8, the queens are partnered with operators from The Switchboard, a volunteered-manned listening service for the LGBT+ community, and challenged with creating a drag family resemblance. Partnered with volunteer Peter, a charming older man in his mid-sixties who details his own struggles in coming to terms with his sexuality in less enlightened times, Michael immediately forms a very strong bond with Peter in the Werk Room. For their runway, Michael creates matching ringmaster-meets-dominatrix looks that present the family resemblance aspect perfectly, but it's the pair's emotional performance on the runway, including a powerfully moving gesture to celebrate victims of the AIDS epidemic, that clinches them the win.
* ThrowingOutTheScript: Michael is selected to close the show in the ''Dragiators Roast'', and in a very bold move she abandons her cue cards mere seconds into her performance, fixing her fellow final four queens who've gone before her with a focussed wry smile before launching into a devastatingly slick routine honed from years of experience. Going from memory lends Michael's roast an exceptionally professional, relentlessly funny vibe that keeps the audience on their toes, and Michael just edges out Ginger to bag her third win heading into the final. Concluding the judging, Ru notes that the final four have set the ''benchmark'' for how to do a roast across the franchise.
-->'''Michael''': Tomara Thomas. Tomara is a dirty girl. Everyone point to Tomara and on the count of three, shout "FILTH!" She is such a pervert that her Instagram pages are stuck together.
* WickedHeartSymbol: For the ''Hearts On'' runway of episode 6, most of the girls go with the expected Cupid-esque looks and bold red colour pallette, but Michael mixes things up dramatically, presenting a BDSM take on the theme via a huge, black leather chained heart motif that fully encases her whole body and dramatic goth-rock makeup.

!Tomara Thomas 
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tamara_0.png]]

->'''Age''': 25
->'''From''': Hartlepool, County Durham

->"The [[Franchise/{{JamesBond}} Bond girl's]] arrived, and I'm ready to murder these bitches."
----

* AmazonianBeauty: In week 2's ''Who Let The Cat Outta The Bag '' pet-themed mini-challenge, the other girls designate Tomara 'Miss Cat-letic' due to her hunky, muscular build.
* ArtImitatesArt: For her ''Fierce Impressions'' runway, Tomara presents an angelic look with bronzed retractable wings in celebration of Antony Gormley's ''Angel of the North'' sculpture outside Gateshead, an iconic symbol of northeast England.
* BaitAndSwitch: Tomara's ''Dragiators Roast'' routine is as loud, chaotic, and strangely compelling as the rest of her performance over the course of the competition, but special mention goes to the clever moment she shifts from roasting her fellow queens and the judges to pay Michelle a pure, genuine compliment, noting that she's looked gorgeous every week of the series with no sarcastic punchline. This gear shift is so unexpected that it works, creating a sweet moment amongst the chaos.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Tomara is a little daft and gobby when off-stage, and it'd be easy to write her off as uncultured, but ''all'' of her fellow queens note that she has incredible stage presence, with a sexy, sultry confidence that's both polished and magnetic and shines through when she performs.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Having won the mini-challenge in week 4, Tomara is gifted with the opportunity to assign teams for the ''Disaster Class'' panel-based maxi-challenge. Immediately, she selects Michael and Ginger, forming a GirlPosse of UsefulNotes/NorthEastEngland queens who go on to obliterate the competition with their master class on the do's and don'ts of a drunken night out in Newcastle. The trio each deservedly bag a [=RuPeter=] Badge.
* BodybagTrick: For the ''Melodrama-Rama'' acting challenge of week 7, she's partnered with [=DeDe=] in ''Femmerdale'' — a spoof of ITV's long-running Yorkshire-based SoapOpera ''Series/{{Emmerdale}}'' — at one point bursting hilariously out from under a tarp, giant boobs and 'get-me-the-manager' hairdo bouncing all over place, that her duplicitous daughter and love-rival ([=DeDe=]) is about to bury her in.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Week 7 guest judge and comedian Joel Dommett sums up Tomara's comedic abilities perfectly when he notes that even despite her chaotic approach, there's something ''inherently'' funny about her (both physically and in terms of her delivery) that carries her through versus more prepared, practised queens.
* CondescendingCompassion: Following her loss in episode 3's winner's lip-sync against Cara, with her tongue firmly in her cheek, she quips:
-->'''Tomara''': I let Cara win, she’s had a ''terrible'' couple of weeks so far.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Tomara presents as a ditzy, BrainlessBeauty and is often a cackling troll in both confessionals and the Werk Room. However, her on-stage performance and overall presence as a drag performer is undeniable -- something her fellow queens begrudgingly admit to.
* EvilLaugh: When contemplating how she'll humiliate her rival queens, Tomara often lets out a witchy cackle in confessionals.
* GeniusDitz: Tomara's a chatty, exuberant bimbo, and can be a little InnocentlyInsensitive on occasion, but her ditziness belies her fiercely focussed, competent skills when performing.
* MiniMe: For the ''Hotline Makeover'' challenge of week 8, the queens are partnered with operators from The Switchboard, a volunteered-manned listening service for the LGBT+ community, and challenged with creating a drag family resemblance. Partnered with volunteer Gemma, who stands at a very petite 4'11", Tomara leans in to their height difference, creating cute, tessellating looks in a Chanel-esque bouclé weave, and delivering a joyfully silly but very much in-sync runway performance.
* NaughtyNurseOutfit: For the ''Hearts On'' runway of week 6, Tomara goes with a dominatrix-nurse look, and even despite the relative simplicity of her corset outfit, she once again serves it so well that even Michelle ([[SeriousBusiness who usually reads a corset-based look to filth]]) can't help but love it.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In the {{Pantomime}}-themed ''Panto-oh She Better Don't'' Rusical in episode 5, she and Cara play a pair of washed-up former pop-stars humorously dubbed 'Dee from Stairs' and 'Lisa Thot-Lee' -- a thinly-veiled reference to two of the members of UK 90s pop group, Music/{{Steps}}, and a wry dig at the propensity for UK celebs whose stars are on the wane to start appearing in regional panto.
* OddballDoppelganger: For the ''Snatch Game'', Tomara portrays the late Creator/RobinWilliams in his own iconic crossdressing role for the 90s classic, ''Film/MrsDoubtfire''. Tomara (being Tomara) presents a deranged take on her subject, meandering all over Europe and America's deep south with her accent, and ultimately giving a performance that's so charmingly nuts that the judges can't help but love it, and she places high again for the week.
* PlasticBitch: Tomara's obvious penchant for botox and filler does not go unnoticed by her fellow queens, which combined with her propensity for being, well, a bit of a bitch, results in a couple of wry digs on occasion.
-->'''Kate''': [during the ''Reading'' challenge] Tomara Thomas, you're not just a pretty face, you're an ugly face with a lot of filler and botox.
* PowerTrio: The three Northeastern queens -- Ginger, Michael, and her -- produce an excellent showing in the ''Disaster Class'' panel-based maxi-challenge of episode 4, which they base around a subversive etiquette lesson on nights out in Newcastle. The trio, strong from the start, go on to make it all the way to the final.
* PrettyInMink: Her ''Slaycation'' runway look, which she hilariously dubs "a Russian bitch", features a fur bikini, a floor-length mink coat, furred boots, all topped off with an ''ushanka'' hat with a pair of ski-goggles strapped to the front.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: For her ''Night of a Thousand Pop Icons'' runway, she presents a well-crafted take on rock legend Music/ElvisPresley, though the judges note that her look is a little ''too'' literal, and lacks the expected drag flair.
* RoommateDrama: Tomara and Cara live together in London, and their relationship suffers a breakdown during week 2's sewing challenge when Tomara, slightly clumsily, notes to Ru and guest judge and British ''Vogue'' editor, Edward Enninful, that she's "Never seen a dress Cara's sewn". Cara is furious, and takes Tomara to task later in the Werk Room for showing her up so publicly.
-->'''Ginger''': Imagine what they're like when they're deciding whose turn it is to take the bins out.
* SexSells: Going into the ''Pet Stop Girls'' design challenge of week 2, she admits that she's [[RealityShowGenreBlindness not much of a seamstress]]. The look she creates is essentially a bunch of pink and yellow paper fans hot-glued to a leotard -- normally an ''absolute'' no-no for Michelle -- but she stomps down the runway with such gusto, selling her look with such confidence and sexy charisma, that the judges (and her fellow queens) can't help but be impressed.
* WardrobeMalfunction: [=DeDe=] isn't the only queen to suffer one of these in the premiere; Tomara presents an ''Angel of the North'' look for her ''Fierce Impressions'' runway, but one her of wings sadly fails to openly properly, and hangs limply and sadly, which is instantly clocked by the judges.

* BaitAndSwitch: Tomara's ''Dragiators Roast'' routine is as loud, chaotic, and strangely compelling as the rest of her performance over the course of the competition, but special mention goes to the clever moment she shifts from roasting her fellow queens and the judges to pay Michelle a pure, genuine compliment, noting that she's looked gorgeous every week of the series. This gear shift is so unexpected that it works, creating a sweet moment amongst the chaos.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: [=DeDe=] hails from the perennially plummy Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent, and has a moderated RP accent to match, so when she's cast as farmer's daughter Gabby in the ''[[Series/{{Emmerdale}} Femmerdale]]'' Screen Test challenge, and attempts the requisite Yorkshire accent, the results are disastrous, with Kate noting that she sounds more ''Jamaican'' than anything else.

* InvincibleIncompetent: [=DeDe=] reaches the final four with no challenge wins and a shaky at best track record that includes three bottom two placements and only ''one'' positive critique for the design challenge of week 2. However by virtue of her excellent lip-sync skills, she manages and hang on in there week after week.

-->'''Ginger''': What can I say about Tomara Thomas? Tomara Thomas is so orange that she pisses pure vitamin C. Tomara Thomas is so orange that she makes Michael Marouli look like a human being. But my favourite thing about Tomara Thomas is that she floats around in her own little world. The only thing looser than Tomara's grip on reality is Vicki's hole at the end of Pride Weekend.

* PowerTrio: The three Northeastern queens -- Michael, Tomara, and her -- produce an excellent showing in the ''Disaster Class'' panel-based maxi-challenge of episode 4, which they base around a subversive etiquette lesson on nights out in Newcastle.
* RenaissanceWoman: Ginger is a highly accomplished all-rounder who can turn her hand to any form of challenge presented and do well to exceptional. She's also amongst the select few queens across the franchise to make it to their finale never placing below safe, let alone landing in the bottom throughout the competition, and joins an illustrious group of queens across the franchise who never place below safe, comprising of Bianca del Rio (US S6), Scarlett Bobo (Canada S1), Envy Peru (Holland S1), Kitty Scott-Claus (UK S3), Ella Vaday (UK S3), Farida Kant (Italy S1), Elecktra Bionic (Italy S1), and Sharonne (Spain S2).
