RuPaul's Drag Race Season 11 Discussion

[Guest Adarsh]

Wake me up when the finale comes 

[Guest]

Can i just say that runway was everything, giving me all the Gareth Pugh fantasies ! So sad to see Plastique go, but i think shell be back. So sick of Silky, she looked horrible as usual. Not really rooting for anyone now all the best competitors have gone (excluding Brooke and Yvie) roll on Drag Race Uk

I don't understand why Akeria is being slept on by everybody. I'm so happy she won this weeks challenge because the girl killed it without stepping on anyone else's toes *cough* Brooklyn *cough*.

Like, don't get me wrong, I love Brooklyn and Yvie sooo much, but Akeria has been so consistent and has had so much more of an upward trajectory than everyone else and I've fallen in love with her.

WHAT?

Honestly the only one who I think was robbed was Scarlett Envy - otherwise, the strongest competitors are there (except for silky).

Actually it might not be a live Q&A since her schedule is pretty crazy but she'll definitely answer your questions. Announcing tomorrow.

Wait did this happen already?

Edit:  nevermind, saw it happened. I’m so sad!

[Magneto 13,428]

I'm so sad Plastique is gone, but it was probably her time to go. Can't wait to see her in All Stars though. She is just so damn beautiful and got me feeling some type of way both in and out of drag. My sexuality is confusion...

The amount of hate for Silky...

She's definitely a STRONG competitor, who's won twice and one of her wins was Snatch Game on top of that. Also, she's won three mini challenges (which are not important, but prove she's funny, at least to Ru and the producers) and have been high twice or thrice. Also she's never been in the bottom yet..

Right now she's the strongest competitor next to Brooke

I just caught up and gotta get some things off my chest.

Silky is very strong (however annoying you think she is). HOWEVER, almost every single thing they say about Vanjie applies to Silky too, but they praise Silky week after week and it’s pretty tiring. Call that bitch out when she plays herself in every character role and wears the same exact gown in a different color.

That said, it’s Vanjie’s time to go. I love her but she doesn’t have what it takes to win (I’d still go see her though).

Brooklyn is overrated everywhere it seems. Other than dancing she is mostly average. It’s frustrating to see a toilet paper mummy praised just because she is a ballerina. I will admit she looks good and knows her body, but let’s be honest the genetic lottery helped a lot with that.

Yvei is the strongest imo. Interesting drag with the dancing and stage presence to back it up. Not great acting presence (and certainly the worst at impressions) but at least she knows it.

Akeria is so Trinity. I don’t think she will win but I already want to see her on an allstars season. Also her shade and reads are the classiest of them all.

Nina is the best stage queen of them all. Very quick thinking, funny, interesting looks. I’m a little taken aback by how sloppy her drag can be at times, but she is by far the strongest acting and comedy queen and was robbed in the snatch game for sure. Two fully realized characters lost to silky just being silky. A disgrace.

And finally, Suga has some very high quality drag but is pretty forgettable otherwise. The runway just isn’t enough to propel you to the top.

I don't get how some people can say Silky is strong? She is not versatile. She can be funny, but she isn't witty. Her snatch game should have gone to Nina, because she was acting like Silky. Her runways are weak. Her drag is pretty, though she is extremely sloppy in the workroom. She is unapologetic about not wanting to grow. She just gives off a horrible contestant vibe.

I am the only one who is like not enjoying this season? Season 9 & 10 were so much more iconic

If you know who TS Madison is, you’ll understand that it was a very smart choice for Silky. Her runway was bad, but so was Jinkx’s on her Snatch Game and she won anyway. Silky deserved her win.

Nina went funny. I was rooting for her SO HARD but I was just underwhelmed. She should’ve stuck with one character and gone 100% of the way.

I actually have been enjoying it a lot! I feel like there has been a LOT of drama and there are some pretty talented queens, but I do feel like a lot of the cast isn't as polished as season 9 & 10 were (especially in runways). I just wish Ru wasn't trying to shove Silky down our throat like he did last season with Eureka 

IMO I feel like seasons 9, 10, and 11 have been a resurgence after seasons 7 & 8 which I thought were much more boring.  

I think the real problem is All Stars. They need to stop pumping those out every year especially after the mess that was All Stars 3; I hope they get rid of the lip sync for your legacy, so tired of the strongest queens going home.

THIS so much. A’keria could’ve just as easily won episode 1. She had a pretty safe trajectory for a while after that, but she’s picking up the pace now. 

Ultimately I want either her or Brooke to win, with the latter much more likely to take home the crown.

I feel like evaluating my standing with each queen so far so here goes

I've had a curve relationship with Yvie. Before the season started I was very confused as to why everyone was rooting for her, her MTQ did nothing for me. Then after the first few episodes I started stanning very hard... But now for some reason I'm not really rooting for her, especially after the drama in untucked. And I think Brooke Lynn won that lipsync. I still won't be mad if she won tho.
