tv show RuPaul's Drag Race

[SlimyGhoul]

I really enjoyed the rusical!!! 

 

Spoiler

In my opinion, the top two should've been Roxxxy and Jorgeous. They were all really funny, so honestly it was a close pick, but Roxxxy doing all those moves as Pennywise was HILARIOUS. A highlight of the season!

Anyone find it weird how allot of our fave Jewish drag race girls are probably zionists and haven't stood up for Palestinians?  They were so performative for blm and trans rights etc. why not now? Yes everything can be political. Its drag ! Duh. 
 

 

Point their fingers here. Who should I avoid:

read on twitter somewhere that Denali's bf is Zionist. Denali is Jewish so I'm concerned she's radicalized. Correct me i I'm wrong bc I'm trying to get clarification.

I once heard somewhere that between sponsorships and the price of all the ad slots that the show pulls in $4 million in revenue per episode. I don't know their expenses obviously (I think licensing each song would cost $20k minimum, RuPaul's salary is probably $3 million - $5 million a season at this point, I'm sure Michelle and the rotating judges get 6-7 figures a season as well, and the costs of running a high budget production are probably pretty significant) but if the real number is anywhere in that ballpark, then they don't have an excuse to bump up the prize money to $1 million except for greed. 

They've given out over $400k in total during S16, so I think they're definitely on their way to giving out more cash. I think giving $5k to the challenge winner might be a good motivation for queens to actually try harder.

 

I don't think $1M will ever happen though. They probably wouldn't go over half a million and they're probably saving that for All Winners 2.

Is there a justification for why this show only gives out $200k or whatever as a grand prize? It's a pretty paltry number even across the network. I've been watching MTV's The Challenge and they give 1 million to these nobodies for winning (no shade I love the challenge) and drag race is allegedly one of the biggest tv shows in the last few years. 

Rupaul is cheap. Greedy. Are you new here?

Nina is so annoying and whiny 

[Vroom Vroom]

This season is unwatchable. Everything is so obviously scripted. I don't particularly like Roxxy, but she deserved to win last week. Her performance was a full transformation doing something that is typically out of her wheel house. But she already has 4 stars, so she wasn't even considered because production has to fabricate this "close" race.

 

Watching Shannel being so proud that she "earned" 2 badges after flopping all season really gave me bad vibes. I hope Plastique wins the crown, that's the only way to redeem this season. Last season wasn't that good either, but at least Jimbo served something new each week and earned her crown 

[Lightbringer007]

nina girl you wouldnt be in this situation if you didnt give roxxy that badge ... talk about "bad strategy" on her part

[kataraqueen]

Plastique being the most succeasful one post-show AND dominating the season. Trixie WISHES

[Hikki]

this season is really giving nothing, no drama no suspense no iconic moments

 

 

[kataraqueen]

Nina my dear, I can't stand to have you near 

 

Her words sound mentally straining. It's like she's sonically walking on sharp glass. Everything sounds forced and calculated. Girl you're a man in a wig loosen up PLEASE

[Aston Martin]

Someone on Reddit discussing Nina/her lack of strategy: 

 

Quote

Yes but to be fair Nina is infamous for putting a foot in her mouth.

[Lightbringer007]

this pairing is so rotted lmao

Plastique has been absolutely demolishing everyone this season… the only thing she really bombed was snatch game.

What's more insane is that you have to give half the prize money away for taxes. Reg season should be half mil and all stars 1 million… then I'm sure all the big name girls would actually want to come back…
