I guess I don't have enough exposure to others watching or commenting on drag queens other than on here. Personally my favs are the curvy girls of diversity and personality. The stick thin blondes or Tyra's :hehe: never do it for me |
That leads me onto what- it seems - is an inevitable Aquaria win. And whilst i cannot fault her performance on the show... she killed snatch game and Breastworld... i just can't shake the feeling she's false and had a huge advantage going into the competition with being friends with Amanda Lepore, having 6 figure follow counts, Sharon's drag daughter etc. She's one of the few who I've known about years before they even got on, it'd be like Vander von Odd, Rhea Litré or Vicky Vox getting on. Except they're not that popular :ninja2:

....how does having a lot of followers benefit her in a merit-based competition, lmao :laugh:
Honestly, I feel as though a lot of those points, and others that you've directed towards Aquaria (accusing her of racism) are just attempts to deflect accusations levelled at your favourite, i.e. Eureka, who I've seen people claiming for a while that she has some sort of unfair advantage simply because she was on the previous season and not because she - like Aquaria - has the talent to be there |

I think the thing is from S5 onwards it became a lot less racially diverse... S5 in particular. |
It was the same sort of feeling around Bianca's win I guess, MB... technically deserved but i can't help but shake the feeling that a lot of famous friends VERY close to the show would've helped. (In Bianca's case she was a good friend of Bunny, who is Ru's best friend? All a bit...nepotistic)

And if you don't think social media following has an influence in the winner after Trixie then, um...

There's a massive difference between gaining followers and a fanbase simply from being on Drag Race and its affiliate shows (Trixie) and gaining them from working hard to make it on the scene, make connections and brand yourself as a performer without such a platform, which Aquaria has done, but that doesn't give her any sort of advantage as it would in a season based around post-Drag Race legacies and branding such as All Stars |
And if how big you were pre-Drag Race mattered at all in a regular season, Mayhem Miller wouldn't be a fifth boot

I think the only times social media has affected the winner was AS3 and S9, which ironically were the last two seasons so maybe social media does matter now :laugh: (Sasha randomly had the most social media likes of all the finalists last year, I still don't know why). And I only started live-watching from S8 onwards but I feel like Ginger would've won S7 had it not been for a number of viewers taking a dislike to her/preferring the Looks queens?
It doesn't always affect the result though. I remember thinking Kim Chi was gonna win S8 because she had the biggest online support, but Ru still picked Bob based on track record (I think S9 was the first time the finalist with the most challenge wins didn't win?) |

I'm actually liking Phi Phi in AS2 :skull: Her runways are always a tad underwhelming, but she slayed the acting challenge.
I really didn't like Adore this season... Just seemed a bit hypoctrical given how she'd lay into Laganja? The S5 dominance in this season is a bit of a howl |
STUNNED by alyssa's elimination. ha camera dress was iconic!
|
I think Aquaria has definitely earned her win if she does end up winning, but social media influence or just how well know you are before definitely effects how well you do in some cases IMO
I think it’s prety clear Fame and Derrick deserved to go home earlier than they did but they were constantly given free passes because they were stars before the series |
Yeah, I wouldn't begrudge Aquaria her win unless she bombs in these last few weeks. She's been consistent and she's earned her wins thus far.
She's not the most exciting winner but you can't argue with the stats as it stands. |
Miss Congeniality voting opened yesterday, here is the link for Non-American fish! http://logo-tv.massrel.io/rpdr-miss-...geniality-2018
You can vote as many times as you want, I'm voting Blair St. Claire as my winner because she is congenial, and not fan-favourite. :wavey: |
Monet or Asia should be MC, but watch it be Cracker
|
Just dont waste your vote on someone that you think has no chance... Hence why I voted Blair because people might give her sympathy votes because of her story, and because shes lovely. Cracker just doesnt deserve it imo... I've never warmed up to her at all this season and i just dont understand what the hype is except for she is a thin and blonde queen which the 12 year old girls will love...
|
Monique ftw :fc:
|
The voice of America!
|
voted monique
|
Voting Mayhem when I can. Her, Asia and Blair are the only fair winners tbh... all have gone out of their ways to help the others
