Drag Race gets the hype because of its concept, much like The Traitors or The Circle, but it isn't accessible enough nor of interest to those who watch linear TV. You have to wonder why so many reality shows get commissioned for the main channels when the audience they will appeal to isn't there.

Drag Race UK has particular appeal in the LGBTQ+ scene, so it doesn’t need to do massive numbers to justify its existence if it does well for its target audience.

Of course, but I wasn't questioning Drag Race's commissioning, hence why I said main channels.
