I'm marathoning all of CDR starting tonight and hopefully finish within my trial period. I barely know anything except Kyne went home second and a few who did/didn't make it to the end, oh, and JBC was so critical people bullied him off social media. Gonna put my first impressions here and see how it pans out with what really happens.

My favorites from MtQs:

  • Anastarzia - I love pageant queens with a good sense of humor
  • BOA - love her, but her style screams early out
  • Lemon - her charisma draws me in instantly, but I realize she could be annoying
  • Priyanka - she gives me Adore S6 vibes personality-wise, but already seems more polished, so I'm excited
  • Rita Baga - her aesthetic is my favorite of the bunch, and I enjoy her attitude

Impressions from episode 1:
  • BOA - still love her, but HOW was she in the top?
  • Ilona - much funnier than she came off in MtQ. Hope she stays long enough to give some funny lines. However, I'm surprised she wasn't in the bottom
  • Jimbo - loved her look, but I find her persona a little forced. I can overlook it if she keeps bringing looks like this
  • Juice Boxx - she was sweet and had a good attitude. Honestly thought she had the better lip sync
  • Kiara - her look was one of my favorites. I think she should've been top. Not usually a fan of the wannabe supermodel aesthetic, but there's something adorable about her
  • Kyna - heard about her attitude, and yeah. Someone's competing with Vivienne Pinay for saltiest Filipina fish
  • Lemon - still love her even though I thought her lip sync wasn't as good, though I don't think her look was bottom-worth in the first place. Also, best entrance look
  • Rita Baga - very happy she won
  • Scarlet Bobo - something about her is uncanny valley to me, but that's probably just me being superficial bitch. I'll need to reserve my judgment for later, since we didn't get much of her this episode
  • Tynomi - I thought her look was also one of the best. And drat how is she the oldest on the season?

Also, JBC going hard on those critiques off the bat

However what I don't know is if it will air in Australia :negative:

The WOW twitter post I saw today explicitly mentioned Australia so I assume it's just gonna be on Stan even though I haven't seen any promo cards for it yet



Actually reading the post it kind of doesn't really say it'll be available here except on wow presents so maybe not actually but we can hope

Lemon's still one of my favorites, but HOW did she win episode 2 over Priyanka? I didn't even feel like she was one of the tops.

drat, Tynomi did one of the smoothest splits I've ever seen.

Episode two was the heritage moments episode, right? I thought Lemon and Priyanka were the big standouts of that episode and either coulda won it easily.

It may have been that I couldn't appreciate her performance because it relied so much on Tynomi. But Priyanka had me laughing the most, followed by Kiara.

On episode 3 and I'm very amused by the judges always being like "I don't understand, but I'm living for BOA."

Normally stan is already promoting the new series before the old one is ending, so I got a bad feeling friend :smith:

JBC being really warm during the tic tac interviews is so lovely and seems so genuine, i think it's the first time he doesn't feel super produced and artificial so I hope they let him fill more of a Ross sort of role next season instead of cramming bitches on to the panel

I know part of it is the extra echo they put on top to make it sound more like a live performance but the queen's verses were actually really well produced. Usually they just slap some autotune on them and call it a day because that was the Lucien vibe and they've just been aping that since he left but they actually sounded like a real song I might buy

I love the implications of this....
That presumably means that the Queens are instructed to yell and scream with excitement at a blank screen, or at best one that has text saying *insert Ru video intro here*

The Krusty approach to voiceover was particularly apparent when Ru used the top three names for the first time. You just know there's footage of Ru saying everyone's name and it's just pieced together to fit the narrative they choose in editing.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the vast majority of the audience for a gay (cis, as far as we know) AMAB's OnlyFans won't have much overlap with the audience for an AFAB woman posting fin-dom and foot fetish porn...

I think the issue stems from the fact that mainstream actress Bella Thorne created an only fans a few weeks back. She charged insanely high prices, which people gladly paid for, and she made like $3 million in just a few days. But, she didn't really post anything particularly revealing or graphic, so a ton of people asked for refunds, which onlyfans granted, but as a result they put a cap at how much people can charge for their content. Which affected a lot of sex workers negatively.

That said, drag queens primarily make their income from nightclub appearances and tours. Their incomes have also been affected by the pandemic. And I know Katya is one of the most famous and popular drag queens, but I can't imagine her TV and book deal really make her THAT much money.

Fair point to the Bella Thorne issue, I had definitely heard about that. I guess I'm just salty that someone would balk at a gig-based LGBT+ performer (probably hasn't had a major gig since the pandemic started) who is also a recovering addict (a class of people that have had a real rough time during the pandemic) trying to supplement their income with an OnlyFans.

Onlyfans is not intended solely for sex work and it's already an insanely hypercapitalist system in so it's insane to try to gatekeep it.
