Hook eligibility:

- Interesting:
- No - I don't know what Gogglebox is, and "more glamour" is rather vapid. Perhaps note that it's hosted by drag queens, that's rather unusual?
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Only checked the main hook, the alt hook is rather long and IMHO also not very interesting. Sandstein 12:35, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

ALT2 and ALT4 are not supported by the cited source. ALT3 and 3a are not interesting: we cannot assume that readers know "RuPaul's Drag Race", and the hook focuses on the hosts, not on the article that is the topic of the DYK entry. Sandstein 11:03, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Sandstein: Alt hook below. I've also rephrased ALT1, as I think the core fact is a compelling hook; if you disagree, I'd ask you to please explain on what criteria you judge it as "not interesting". Thank you. Morgan695 (talk) 16:15, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Either of these hooks is OK, but the promoting admin should consider making the first one more concise. Sandstein 20:36, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

- Promoting ALT5 because ALT1a may be in the source, but it is not in the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:50, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
