Hey spoiler divas!

I was recently pondering if it gets boring knowing all the tea before each season even starts airing? Does it affect your viewing? Also quite curious, how much of the tea usually turns out to be true? I went into one or two of those threads some time ago after season airing and it was mostly spot on.

I still enjoy it tbh, the spoiler Reddit is my main place to discuss things so also there’s a fact I’d find it hard to avoid it even if I wanted to. I don’t think I can know that the tea is out there and not look at it either lol. It doesn’t make me enjoy the season any less. I like knowing stuff and it’s not always accurate anyway, especially if a queen I’ve wanted on or I know of like Van Goth or Catrin Feelings is on, I like to see how they’ve done before it airs.

Mostly the tea is true, especially as we get closer to airing. The early stuff that tends to be inaccurate is lowkey the most fun part of being a spoilerina, I love the first few days of a vs the world or All Stars filming and trying to gauge who’s on the cast. Usually we know an elimination order and the finalists not necessarily challenge winners etc, but even then sometimes there is only a vague order of say a block of 3 queens who are 6th-9th. Le Coco and Kita Mean both famously spread that they were early outs earlier in the tea “cycle”, Le Coco’s fake out was so iconic bc the tea said she was 2nd out then came back and won like 3 challenges and had the best track record.

A couple of times I can think of that went quite differently are Lala Ri in AS8 I’m pretty sure was thought to be top 3/a finalist for ages, then it was spilled maybe a week or two prior to her elimination that she was 5th, and also Lala Ri again on S13 when Elliott outlasted her. Finalists tend to be locked in quite early once filming wraps reply so the Lala Ri AS8 case was the most surprising I can remember,

I rarely go in spoiled for season twists and turns because predicting it is part of the fun for me; BUT I do like to see things like who is cast - in case i know them! - or if I'm not enjoying a season I like to see if anything I should keep watching for is coming up.

It's also fun sometimes to watch and see if the spoilers were accurate or not! - sometimes they are and sometimes not!

For an example of not; Spice was speculated to win multiple challenges in 15 while Sasha bottomed a lot!

There’s so much iconic fake tea I’ve loved lol I think that in general is one of the most fun parts for me likeeeee

• Blair St. clair being disqualified due to being arrested on a DUI

• Nina West throwing dental floss at plastique during an argument in a design challenge and Plastique used it to make an outfit and won

• Luxx having no confidence and quitting halfway through

• Marcia deliberately flopping the talent show because she wanted to lipsync to 7 Rings in front of Ariana

• Manila winning a “Boogers” Rusical as herself

• Ginger Minj winning a Glee/Animak farm mashup Rusical in AS6 as Will Schuester

• Heidi quitting AS8 because Jimbo got insane favouritism and they had a massive argument

My two favourite fake rumours:

• Acid Betty punching Michelle Visage in the left tit on S8.

• The Vixen and Aquaria in the bottom 2 on S10, and The Vixen does gravity defying moves whilst Aquaria strips naked on the judges’ table.

I only ever like to know the names involved, but rarely ever the actual tea. The only times I spoil it for myself is when I'm not sure if I want to watch the series - so I have checked the Down Under Vs The World tea to help me decide if it looks like it'll be worth my time.

I'd never want to spoil US or UK though because the gags are some of the best parts. I would NEVER have called Sally or Bonnie going home as early as they did for example, so I'm glad I wasn't aware prior to that.

Another fave for me and this happens like CLOCKWORK is Miz Cracker being rumoured for every All Stars/vs The World and in the end it’s always like “oops she’s just unemployed xxx”

Also this is so niche but when Canada vs the world is on the Reddit has like a spreadsheet of the casting and who’s said no or whatever and sometimes it will just be like “Année Maywong said she doesn’t think it’s worth doing Canada x” or “nobody would ask Aphrodite Almighty back anyway” to debunk them lmfao
