->"First we stole your jobs. Now I'm gonna take your crown."






* RefugeInAudacity: Calling to mind Choriza May's iconic, immigrant-themed entrance quote in Series 3, Alexis quips "First we stole your jobs. Now I'm gonna take your crown." in a wry nod to the perception (in some quarters) that the UK's expanding Polish immigrant population is taking some jobs traditionally held by locals.

* BreakTheHaughty: Dede arrives in the Werk Room full of confidence, reminding us that she and her girls "run Soho" and that she's Series 3 winner Krystal Versace's drag-sister. She's also critical of Alexis, noting that she thinks she'll be the first to be sent home, which distresses Alexis and rallies the other queens to her defence. However, despite her polished confidence, Dede makes the cardinal sin of not ensuring that her wig is properly taped, and in the Club Tickety-Boo dance-off challenge, her wig detaches and she ultimately has to discard it -- a WardrobeMalfunction that she notes has ''never'' happened before on the UK show. In the Werk Room, she's deflated and humbled by the experience.





to:

\n* PrideBeforeAFall: Dede arrives in the premiere full of confidence, both in her looks and drag-family heritage, and is not shy in offering her unsolicited opinions in the Werk Room prior to the Maxi Challenge. However, a disastrous wig-related WardrobeMalfunction sees her place safe for the week, with the queen she expected to go home first, Alexis, landing in the top.
* WardrobeMalfunction: Dede has a disastrous moment in the premiere during the Club Tickety-Boo challenge, when her wig becomes unstuck and slips back, requiring her to clamp it back into position and ultimately discard it completely. The onlooking audiences of judges and legendary national and international queens from across the franchise look on with barely-concealed disappointment.



Added DiffLines:

* {{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.

to:

* CountryMouse: She hails from the small village of Lanchester in rural County Durham in the very far north of England, where she notes the drag-scene is utterly non-existent, and honed her skills on the Newcastle and London scenes.

Need a source - comment added. And we can't comment on how attractive tropers think the performer is out of drag; tropes like that only get listed if the show includes discussion of them


%% Examples must be based on something within the work itself (e.g. the show or "Meet the Queens"). Advertising can only be troped with advertising tropes. Anything added pre-release needs to cite sources.

to:

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Her drag name is a dragged-up twist on English musical legend, Music/KateBush.

to:

* AgeIsRelative: She's definitely something of an old soul, and her drag style and references read much older than her 26 years -- which she happily admits, describing herself as "biologically 26 but mentally in my mid-60s".
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Her drag name is a dragged-up twist on English musical legend, Music/KateBush. Her act, brilliantly known as "Wuthering Shites", features a melody of Bush's hits.
