Horrible news. She was no age to pass away

It ended up growing on me 🤡

Bosco getting a burlesque song feels set up af As for Jorgeous v Aja, Aja better be having an off day bc I can'tcomprehend miss no emoting legitimately beating her Top 2 song favours Ginger, surely?

100% agree re Bosco Actually out of this cast I'm LESS excited for Denali altho I was such a huge fan on her series... Most excited for Mistress, Acid... maybe Daya Betty, curious what her vibe is these days. And some of the old girls!

Glad there's Untucked!

By the sound of it this might be a great season for Daya

For me, I want to see what Irene can do. That promo look is already SUCH a glowup from her first run.

More of these shady comments from you please! Loved reading these 🖤

Queen(s) you're happy to see back Queen(s) you think are a questionable choice Your ideal winner from this cast

For me: Acid Betty (S8) Being part of the 'art, art, art' gif with Bob and Thorgy; her paper runway Aja (S9, AS3) Jumping off that box in AS3, not being able to say a French word and getting dragged by RuPaul, dragging Valentina for not being congenial, her Give it to me Straight interview with Maddy Alyssa Hunter (S14) I feel like she flopped her talent show? But destroyed Kerri Colby in their lipsync and got sent home unfairly Bosco (S14) Wore lots of bras and panty sets in S14 and got carried a lot; was a bad lipsyncer; got in a fight with Lady Camden Cynthia Lee Fontaine (S9, S10) "my cucu", having a funeral for a chair Eureka broke in Untucked, the awful red tank top and shorts outfit she got eliminated in Daya Betty (S14) eating that butterfly in the first episode, deliberately tying the vote to cause chaos, "conSTRUCTION paper", slaying the end of her season and finale performance [instagram]C46ls2avpkq[/instagram] DeJa Skye (S14) being the only one not to flop SG in her season; having questionable taste for nearly every runway Denali (S13) having a seriously solid run on S13 and delivering some great runways and lipsyncs, her stank face being one of the first memes of the season Ginger Minj (S7, AS2 and AS6) being grumpy on S7, a nonentity on AS2 and mostly nice on AS6. Having a hideous entrance look on AS6 Irene the Alien (formerly Dubois, S15) Shading Luxx immediately, flopping her talent show, doing ok in her lipsync against Amethyst Jorgeous (S14, AS9) Her M3gan Rusical performance and talent show on AS9, the fact she dropped out of high school and shaded Cynthia when she had been in a car crash Kerri Colby (S14) Her talent show was good, but her design look was atrocious and she didn't do much in her season performance wise. Supported trans sisters a lot Lydia B Kollins (S17) Slaying the roast, slaying Arrietty in the lipsync, and knocking herself out by getting stuck in her dress Mistress Isabelle Brooks (S15) Being very funny on her season and very shady too, doing well at most challenges. Great social media game too. Nicole Paige Brooks (S2) Being shady and chaotic, taking everything very seriously Olivia Lux (S13) Getting some inexplicable wins on S13 and flopping the back half of the season, doing a 'baby' schtick a lot Phoenix (S3) Being in the 'prison honey' gif Tina Burner (S13) "Tina Burner on fire like the hunger games", wearing a lot of hideous outfits

- if anything - some of them you might not remember anything about! The full cast list comprises: Acid Betty (S8) Aja (S9, AS3) Alyssa Hunter (S14) Bosco (S14) Cynthia Lee Fontaine (S9, S10) Daya Betty (S14) DeJa Skye (S14) Denali (S13) Ginger Minj (S7, AS2 and AS6) Irene the Alien (formerly Dubois, S15) Jorgeous (S14, AS9) Kerri Colby (S14) Lydia B Kollins (S17) Mistress Isabelle Brooks (S15) Nicole Paige Brooks (S2) Olivia Lux (S13) Phoenix (S3) Tina Burner (S13)

Irene did not have to go so hard on this promo look omg

I felt a wee bit cheeky sending something actually from the show buuuut Miss Jade's verse is so good

I feel like anythijg could have Qd from my semi, it was much of a muchness

Truthfully I am mostly going for Vengaboys & Booty Luv 🤡

Will be my 2nd year going

For me, Gigi Goode (although I otherwise didn't care for her) opened my eyes about gender a lot and "not feeling like one or the other" when she felt herself to be nonbinary. There were also some great discussions on that topic on season 1 of Drag Race España from, among others, Hugaceo (NB) and Arantxa (trans femme). I actually was forgetting Sasha when I made this post. Even though she's a recent winner she kinda feels like someone who won long ago. Drag Race Thailand (season 2) had the first openly trans queens I remember seeing on Drag Race; also featuring diversity because although Angele and Kandy Z were both trans they were very different. In recent seasons my favourite trans queens from their skill and their attitude are Moon (Fra2) and, if she considers herself trans, Lill (UK7). Ginny Lemon (UK2) has also grown on me quite a lot.

Trying to post some different kinds of threads. Who are your favourite trans queens? Why do you like them? Did you learn anything about trans people or the trans experience from Drag Race?

One small note of silver in this is that the TERFS' outright glee and gloating at this change is turning people with low knowledge or who might otherwise be neutral or tacitly support their position, off them. It's become very apparent in an undeniable way from their reactions that protecting women might not have been quite as high on their agenda as using that as an excuse to PUNISH and shame/hurt trans people. I've been visiting older relatives this week & generally they've found it appalling after how as soon as this change was announced the chat immediately changed to stuff like strip searching and the like.

Truthfully, I think they couldn't trust Lexi winning. She was too much of a loose cannon for the brand. Looking forward to seeing her post how she would have lipsynced, though, which she has promised to do on her socials.

I think my opinion on the spoiler threads is that it keeps up our discussion/engagement in the off-season. It's kind of in my (/our) interest to not clamp down on discussion topics that members of the community want to have that fall under the umbrella of Drag Race, given that our continued existence is dependent on our level of engagement and discussions/posts. Perhaps we could trial doing something different with what's pinned and what's not pinned. Also noting that anyone can create posts any time they'd like to to drive discussion or share their opinions; which would be an organic way of meaning that the spoiler threads aren't 'all that is posted' - they are being posted (and commented in) by people that have an interest in them, but if there are other aspects of Drag Race that you other members would prefer to discuss, please do post any other kinds of threads and we can go for a free for all. Ultimately, this is meant to be a fan space and that applies whether what appeals to you most is tv production dissection in the spoiler threads, community commentary as it airs, ranking or judging etc., or something like just appreciating certain queens, costumes or performances. In that regard I think there's a lot more discussion that we could be having and I for one would welcome it.

team floater

NGL I would love to see Ginger not win. I don't dislike her, I just don't think she has anything left to prove and coming back for a third AS after already being runnerup in her first season too feels like cheating

I have to say if this wasn't a forum I would probably drop off the site altogether :')

🙃 after all that this WAS Jewels' best week imo
