And since both Shea and Trinity are there, have Peppermint as a guest even though she's not from the season where either one of them won but idc, Pep is funny as hell  

Yes! And imagine if they managed to book Sasha for a guest appearance as well

Speaking of, let’s cleanse this page of Rose discussion by celebrating the queen that massacred her all season long and in the year since once again 

 

 

In just 3 days, the Most Successful Reign of All Time will come to an end and a newer, lesser queen will face the impossible task of trying to live up to the legacy of THEE Symone

 

Let us take a look back at all RuPaul's successor and the true heir to the Drag Race throne has accomplished in just a year's time:

 

4 Challenge wins, tying a record for US Drag Race

 

 

Unprecedented 7/7 lipsync wins, the highest in franchise history

 

 

First and only drag queen other than RuPaul to guest on Late Night Primetime

I wish Jaida was able to have a reign like this. Damn the pandemic. At least she got to do the Savage Fenty Show. 

[KaledKalil]

Symone is probably the best winner of the VH1 run, I have to say.

 

The way Darienne Lake would do so well on All Stars, I can't wait to see it. 

 

And Jorgeous living rent-free in people's mind. 

 

 

 

[Hector]

Queen Symone has had an incredible reign  

 

Can't wait to see the crown pass onto Angeria, Camden, or Willow on Friday.

I know right? I hope Darienne gets on AS before it's too late. Honestly, the next AS season after this one would be the best time to do it.

I mean you were asking for it. It's one thing to drag Rosé, we all do it rightfully so, but to compare with that man...

Let’s stop spam posting, let’s do that!

Symone saved S13, imagine had she not won…  A USELESS season it would have been. 
 

Also, sometimes I wonder why production pushes certain queens over others. Full disclosure, I am a Denali stan but they really fumbled the bag with her. Her and Olivia should have had flipped eliminations. Give Denali the Discomentary win and high placements for Bossy Rossy, Rusical, Snatch Game and then her BTM2 for the makeover but eliminate Olivia. 
 

After that I don’t really see Denali flopping the commercial, roast, etc so the season can just go the same until she gets eliminated by Kandy at top 5. It honestly would have made the season a lot better to have Denali be the “robbed 5th place” queen based on the fanbase reception. It’s not like OLOWvia Lux was bringing anything with her Melanie Martinez cosplay anyways. 
 

It also feels like she would have been an obvious fan fave after the 100% Pure Love lipsync. Not really sure what production was trying to do by throwing Olivia 2 wins

I think they originally wanted some Rosé vs Olivia storyline (shady veteran vs. bubbly newcomer), but it never came to fruition after the premiere. Olivia also kinda earned her wins imo.

I think the Discomentary was one of those filler challenges where it could just go to whoever they wanna  payola. Liv did good but her runway was kind of ehhh, Denali and Rosé killed the choreo but were safe. Kinda just seems like it came down to production’s choice. 
 

I still think Symone was the clear Bossy Rossy winner based on her doing the best in the challenge and on the runway even though Liv did good (despite Mik being the one giving her the miming ideas). 
 

Production seems to do these halfhearted romance storylines (Rosenali and now Camgeria) that end up going nowhere. It’s kind of weird but it would have been nice to see it pushed in S13 just to make denali go further.

Yeah I think Symone (or even Mik) would have been a good Bossy Rossy winner, but I definitely feel like they didn’t want Symone’s stomping to be even more obvious than it already was.

No offense to the Essence of Beauty, but she could absolutely never. A cute girl but Jaida is kinda just a (really good) bar queen. 
 

This type of reign and success is once in a lifetime. Whoever wins S14 will practically look unemployed in comparison

Do y'all want to f+ck Jorgeous or something? Mm.

but honestly - why would they return? Bob, Bianca, Alaska and Violet have literally nothing to prove anymore as far as DR goes, they've outgrown the show. the only way they should return is to be a guest judge or something. (btw replacing Carson and Ross is long overdue)

I mean…they would be absolutely nothing without the show. Every time the show airs, there’s an opportunity to reach a new crowd (mostly younger people getting in to drag). Being on AW would be beneficial. Bob has done the Pit Stop multiple times, their own review show, is on an HBO show with other Drag Race girls (both non-winners), I really don’t think they feel they’re above it. Probably just don’t want to compete. Violet is still performing in shows with other Drag Race girls. Alaska is always talking about the show. It’s really only Bianca that wouldn’t make sense.

This thread obsessively hates on some queens for whatever reason, they don’t need to resort to skin color to do it. I’ve actually never seen Jorgeous’ race being used or even hinted as an argument ever (what does it have to do with her flopping at almost all of the challenges anyway?), people are probably just annoyed at her being saved on multiple occasions just because Ru liked her (which also happened with a few other queens in recent years).

 

There are definitely cases where there’s a racist undertone behind some users’ comments, but I genuinely believe this is not one of them.

Bc when a black queen is being attacked the alt girls with trump supporting parents  will give a heads up to let us know race will be used to dismiss said black queen. Girl. Did you read back what you wrote?  
 

It’s interesting to note, the other day the gals in here spoke of racial components that led to black queens just being superior dancers/performers. From personal experiences, I’ve noticed maybe a black fan may feel a certain way that a Latin girl gets all the shine especially on what they may  perceive as  their culture etc.  Slaying Beyoncé and Whitney.  Kinda childish but it’s a real “feeling” and only fair  to bring up. If you don’t knows about this you haven’t lived.  Just the same way a white fan who  stans  only skinny and  white may be mad at jorgeous for taking away Jasmine’s flowers as best dancers/lip syncer of the season.  Gulp.  Whites still love their white excellence even though they’ll never admit it  lol

When you think about it, s14 was the season with the most payola'd frontrunners...

• Bosco getting CHOC'd
• Daya getting a pop-rock song against Deja and Jorgeous
• Angeria and Willow double shantay
• Daytona Winds having no bottoms saved Angeria from lipsynching

The producers chose their top 5 and they saved them no matter what

No more Bianca is perfect., The most payola’d queen of any season. overrated.  Not funny.  She has nerve only.  Ben swallowed her up in snatch game.  Don’t even get me started with her god awful  ?’s. The queen won bc she was marketable. The first true comedy queen. Just like Willow will win bc she’s marketable: weird trans and disabled. Unfortunately  Camden doesn’t do anything for the brand.

There is another Latinx queen on the season and she didn't get a single ounce of hate that Jorgeous is getting for being "dumb". If people were actually going for the stereotype that Latinx are uneducated, they would've targeted Alyssa as well. End of discussion.

Just chiming in to say that AS4 and AS5 had some of the best lip Syncs for any series and definitely any all stars.
