  I was aware of your old age gramps but I didn't think you'd forget a 6 hour post already.

So a fact triggered you.   He identifies as man. I’m sorry that is not woke enough. Maybe Symone should’ve attached a trendy gen z tumblr gender that you kids now rave about.  Very grandpa of him.  Pls be specific as to what you think I’m discriminating against here ?  You’re all  over the place.  The supposed trans hate or that Symone is a man and I misgendered him?  I can’t read your mind.

Sasha winning and voiding the whole track record narrative is a blessing to the show as they can just select that fan faves with greater marketability.

This is the same thread that hated Willow’s entrance look when it first came out despite the obvious genius of it. You guys dont know an iconic statement even when it hits you in the face.

Symone looked hot and spectacular. This is drag at its best. You take a simple and familiar concept and you turn it to a 100. Symone took a classic street style and dragged it the **** up. And if you actually had been paying attention, that has been her MO. She did it with the durag, the press on nails, the timberland etc… So even if you don’t like the look, you at least have to give her props for staying true to herself instead of showing up in an avant-garde dress. This is that Uniqueness we all talk about but rarely see now. Probably due to the fact that fans just want to see someone glamorous or someone that looks like a monster. There are other brands of Drag in between.

It’s ok if her brand of drag isn’t your tea but calling it tragic is embarrassing and when people try to tell you why her look is phenomenal, you guys get defensive instead of trying to learn something new.

Willow Plan B’s humor gets worse with more exposure. “Awkward. Elementary. Lazy. Meh.”  Serving Katya but actually makes me appreciate Katya’s humor more now. World of wonder, I see what you did. Wow oh wow. 
 

 

That  live crowning video of her just moaning and making sex noise as comedy. The Beavus and Butthead of drag.  “My winner”

[Rotunda]

Symone's worn her fair share of boots, but this finale look was perfectly fine to me tbh.

The way opinions are being presented as objective facts in this thread

 

Who “won” is largely subjective unless it’s a Sasha-level stomp. I would say Camden being crunch wrap supreme in the entire finale lost her the season but others wouldn’t feel that way. 
 

At the end of the day, production is gonna crown their most marketable queen, and all contestants should know this going into the show. If they don’t.. well that’s on them. 

Now that you mention this I can see why @satellites.™connected her look wit socialism. The neoliberal entity that is Rupaul Drag Race, LLC; a for profit business, chooses its puppets based on marketability and profits over actual objective artistry and talent.  The parallels with this and the neoliberal cesspool that is the Democratic Party. The way the DNC chooses it’s primary contenders based on what Wall Street wants rather then  what the people want.  Omg shook.  if this was truly Symone’s messaging (or something similar to that) then imma have to Stan. Better late then never. I’ll keep my eye on the good sis. Hmm. 
 

 

 

imma stop posting so much for now. Glad I annoyed no one tonight and did nothing but enlighten you.

I’m triggered.  This is why we have trump and now Biden. Profits over everything. Rupaul, LLC is an extension of the DNC confirmed.   This is not off topic mods.

What are you even talking about? 
 

No one is triggered over Symone.  
You’re the one that's clearly bothered that a man hasn’t won since Symone. You made a whole post complaining about it, and another one right now. That’s transphobia hon  You’re giving Ben Shapiro rn, not a cute look.

You understand sarcasm or you don’t. You can’t possibly believe I believe their won’t be another cis man winner. The way you completely ignored the essay I I wrote elaborating on why I don’t hate trans women but rather making statements critiquing society and gay culture, but of course you ignore it all to push your flop narrative.  Holy hell is ice.   I’m probably more to the left of  you but don’t indulge in the laughable fake woke neoliberal theater. But sure “Shapiro.”   Now go enjoy the rest of your day. Willow pill won. I’m bitter and transphobic now. I hate the disabled?   I’m a Shapiro Stan?. What else!?  I hate black and white people ?  What else ?

overall a much weaker group of winners compared to the regular US seasons where i feel all 14 queens are extremely strong and deserving of the win in some way

I still can't believe Kylie won because she's nice

i'll say it. I haven't truly loved a season since they switched to vh1. AS2 was the last time any US drag race gave great TV

AS2 was really good, until they **** the bed with that boring ass top 4

Wish Jinx was invited too, so she could had stomped on Asroskatox or wte all over again.

[Denim]

I hope Jaida or Monet win AS7…

Not only are they my favorite queens in the competition, but they deserve a better reign than what they got out of their circumstances

 

jaida’s reign got messed up cause of covid and haters bring up the tie to discredit monet’s…

There’s a lot of taste in this post. Replace Elecktra with TTT and the taste is even better! 

[Mr.Link]

The winner was already predictable like 8 episodes ago. The sad part is she didn’t even win the final lipsync and her solo performance wasn’t the best one either. Poor Lady Camden being robbed like that just because she didn’t fit the production’s agenda. 

[Denim]

So I finally watched the finale and…

 

I expected willow to win based on the edit, so I’m not really surprised. The last lip sync was kinda underwhelming from both of them. Either way, it was a really likeable cast and I was happy with any of the 5 winning tbh.

 

also, I loved this look. I didn’t like how every winner coming back for the finale has the expectation of wearing a huge prosthetic avant-garde over the top show piece. This was a refreshing look for the finale and executed well. Her face looks phenomenal and the jeans are gorge!

Im over this "give her the win because she had it worse" narrative.

They all get exposure during AS7, so thats already great. May the best, aka Jinks, win.

[FAN]

Because of the format change, AS7 is going to be fantastic exposure for the entire cast. I’m so happy for them to all reignite their already great careers again and really show off how they’ve improved since getting the money and winning.

I think part of it is just that the “BFA” queens are very easy to slate into a runner-up spot. They do well in the challenge so you don’t really really have to exaggerate to give them a win, but they also usually lack personality so people don’t think they’re super robbed when they lose. They’re there to be the rival for the more popular queen. 
 

You could swap Camden, Rosé, and Ella into each other’s seasons and nothing would change, cause they’re basically the same archetype. 

Yeah, I agree. I’d argue that Camden has a more unique brand and persona than Rosé and Ella, but at the end of the day she’s no Willow Pill and that’s why she hasn’t won (and probably won’t win an All Stars either).

 

The sad thing is that in the earlier seasons this didn’t mean as much because the winner could solidify or even build their brand after getting the crown, but with the show being mainstream now, production wants what’s already closer to a finished marketable product instead of one that they still need to work on.

Drag them for their actions all you want, but Sharon and Trinity’s drag are absolutely not bottom 5 material. C’mon now

I'd love for her to return to the show someday, if only the show would calm down with all the riggamorrissing
