Bob has talked about a "hypothetical" all winners season so much that I expected him to be on there. But that might just mean All Winners 2 is already in the plans

I believe Bob was asked and turned it down. Their tone towards a winners season (and RuPaul) has been in a steady downward spiral over the last year, year and a half on Sibling Rivalry. Too bad imo, I would've loved to see Bob bouncing off Jinkx in acting challenges, and Monet in ... everything.

The fact that this statement needed to be made in the first place is sad, but I appreciate her statement and the message it puts across. I hope the editing doesn't tokenise her or make her unbearable because I can totally see that happening. She definitely seems like a great ally.

Maddy seems like a good egg and I am looking forward to see what they bring. Their fellow castmates seem to love them.

Basically this (stolen from Reddit):

quote:

Yeah I do find it hilarious that people are calling Rupaul's "nothing you say matters unless that camera is rolling" Drag Race a safe space. Rupaul is an rear end in a top hat. The fans are racist. The queens fight and insult each other. Have the people calling it a safe space even seen the show?

I am in love with Angeria. :allears: Willow's promo look is very cute!

I feel like at this point, there's probably been more "contestants that started drag identifying as cis but realized they're actually non-binary" than there has been "contestants who continue to identify as a cis man".

Yeah, I don't care for Michelle Visage, but some of "OMG SHE'S JUST A DUMB WHORE WHO LOVES DICK" poo poo (mainly from the earlier seasons) just makes me roll my eyes and wait for it to be over. It hits different coming from Rupaul (they've been friends for god knows how long) than it does a random contestant going for the cheapest (:haw:) laughs. At least they've severely cut back/out on the "MICHELLE IS ACTUALLY A MAN" jokes!

Now we just need to retire queens referring to their drag characters as "lesbians" (or at least until actual lesbians are more welcome in the fandom).

I don't think I've ever seen this much debate over the top 4 of Dragula, or at least compared to S3. I've seen equal numbers of "I just don't get the hype about _______, like they're cool, but Top 4?" for all four of 'em.

Wow. loving highway robbery.

$300 :canada: to get a photo with Trixie and Katya on their upcoming tour. gently caress that poo poo. That's on top of the $90 ticket (which I got) but jesus. I was willing to go $100, maybe $150 MAX - but not double.

I really hope they'll just stick with a top 4 final but I'll be happy either way because all of them are great. I do hope Sigourney gets to go on the tour so I can swoon over her during the meet and greet.

I don't know, that actually seems reasonable to me. Trixie and Katya are extremely popular. I know they're coming to the Lincoln Theater here in DC, which has a seating capacity of 1225 people. If assuming everyone who bought a ticket wants a photo at a meet and greet, and assuming everything goes smoothly and perfectly and it only takes 30 seconds per person, you're looking at about a 10 hour meet and greet where Trixie and Katya are in full drag meeting over a thousand strangers one by one. That's loving exhausting. But we also know that isn't going to take only 30 seconds per person. People will get nervous and stumble, or they won't have their camera ready when they hand their phone to the tour manager or whatever, or they spend a little too long fangirling.

So they need to set a price that will limit the number of people going, and to make it worth their while. Sure, they could set a hard number (maybe they do) and make it first come first serve, or lottery based, but then I feel like you're going to get fans upset that other people got it first, maybe even scalpers.

So, I think $300 is reasonable. Even if only 100 people buy the meet and greet tickets, that earns them each about $15,000 each pre taxes. Pretty good gig actually. If they can get that much money, then good for them.

I don't know if this an official official list, commentary when the IMHO team posted about this today was that it was a collection of all the rumored series based on taping info/etc. I wouldn't be surprised at most of this happening, but omg it's toooooooooooooooo much.

Speaking of, should Ru retire before Drag Race ends, who would be a worthy successor as host? Bianca? Alaska?

Alaska is probably my second pick, but I vote Asia O'Hara!

(I know it was part of the joke of accidentally getting slapped by Ru, but I genuinely want her to host. She does great hosting the Werq the World tour, although I know "hosting a drag show" is different from "hosting a TV show".)

This season's Dragula cast has NO qualms about calling out messy fans, and I love it.



Fun fact: the vast majority of RPDR/Dragula contestants DO NOT see "tearing down the other competitors" as "support", and the ones that DO have to pretend not to (for "optics" and to avoid bad PR). How about instead of posting "You should have won, [winner]'s outfit sucked", you comment "I was hoping you'd win, I thought your outfit was the best!" Same thing with Maddy on the upcoming S14. These people will post hateful comments like "THIS CIS-HET STOLE A SPOT FROM A POC/TRANS COMPETITOR!", while not giving a single loving peep of support for Kerri or Kornbread!

(I know most everyone in this thread probably already knows this! I'm just frustrated because I'm seeing this a lot more lately, and ranting feels good. :colbert:)

I unfortunately watched RuPaul's Vegas Revue, and Asia was shown to be extremely petty, stubborn, did not work well with the other ladies, and prone to tantrums. Maybe there was something else going on there at the time.

I actually think Shangela is one of very few queens with the range necessary to host successfully. She can walk the funny/supportive/educational line while still being likable. That’s tough.

I would love Shea to take over for Ru. I think Shangela absolutely has the range to do it as well. I 100% think it's going to be Trixie though, since she appears to becoming more and more present in everything Drag Race. Why couldn't it have been Katya instead?
