A former producer has just been fired from WOW after 10 years & has now decided to spill the tea on Backstage rigging, the person said this in a reddit statement:

 

"As the title says. World of wonder is so ungrateful for all the work I've done for them. Ask me anything and I'll try to answer it the best I can. Be mindful that even production has to sign NDA but I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. Because theyre a sleazy company only worried about money. Not the queens, not the fans. THE MONEY."

 

Was there ever any queens that production planned to go far in the competition that ended up being eliminated earlier for reasons behind the scenes? (Like Valentina I’m guessing?)

 

I’ll just say this. Widow in Season 12.

 

Most unexpected winners/ top placements that defied productions plans and rigory? Thanks for doing this AMA!!

 

Jaida in really her entire run of drag race

 

Was Valentina "planned" to go further?

 

Yes, in both seasons

 

What winner/winners won solely off being good at the competition and not favoritism? Besides jaida

 

Sasha lol

 

Is there a king on s16?

 

Yes

 

I strongly suspect sometimes choices of winners or bottom placements aren’t based on legitimate critiques but more the sake of a storyline or causing drama? Is rupaul just making choices based on how she feels or does producing sometime overrule legitimate performances for creating drama or storyline? (Example; shuga cain or rock m Sakura eliminations and placements or jorgeous design challenge win.)

 

Jorgeous was Ru’s doing. Storyline is more so production. Ru often wants the “right people” to win.

 

WHICH LIPSTICK DID BEBE CHOOSE????

 

No Answer (but rumoured to be Trixie)

 

Were Sugar and Spice scouted, or did they audition? Does this happen often? Any other examples?

 

Scouted. So was Sasha and Luxx.

 

Was Sasha Colby the legitimate winner of S15 from the start?

 

Yes

 

Which queens are 100% banned from returning?

 

As of this moment only Tyra, Sharon Needles and Sherry Pie.

 

So sorry they screwed you over - thanks for this DELICIOUS info though. Will Anetra be in AS9, feel that she’ll win an all stars? And have there been any queens who deserved a villain edit but never got one?

 

Jimbo lol and Anetra maybe not so soon but eventually.

 

Are Production aware of who spills the tea pre-airing?

 

Who do you think spills it…

 

is there any season where someone was pushed to be the winner

 

Jinx during season 5. Violet in Season 7. It’s well known by staff that these seasons were rigged for them.

 

Was the lalaparuza in s14 planned from the start?

 

Yup!

 

Was season 14s snatch game really that bad?

 

No lol. Willow had us all dying. Bosco had us laughing too.

 

Was Peppermint ever asked for AS

 

Multiple times

 

On AS3, was the final voting set up to purposely make Trixie win over Shangela?

 

Yeah

This guy was a faker he contradicted himself loads and also just “spilled” like fan wishes and baseless rumours that we’ve already had for GAS etc so he just did it for clout.

 

I do hope the part he said about a Dragula queen being on S16 is true though because Sigourney Weaver would do a Sasha Colby iktr and a drag king is much needed too!

Wouldn’t trust any of these answers

He also said he had the global All Stars cast but it was so obviously fake bc it was basically one or two from most franchises and it was the exact ones EVERYONE has on their wishlist :lol: And if the casuals hate the AS8 casting, I can’t imagine that for GAS!
