Bones snatching the Drag Race UK Season 7 crown felt like the most predictable yet satisfying moment of the season. From week one, the writing was already on the werkroom wall, though I’ll forever be pressed about Paige Three missing that finale spot. Still, Bones delivered a deserved win — even if the franchise seriously needs to address its seven-season streak of zero POC winners.
