Guest Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hi all, i'm pretty new here and i thought i would finally start my own thread. Anyways i started watching RuPaul's last year watching from season 8 and since then became hooked but just of late from season 9 I've noticed a decline in the quality of the series. All challenges just seem like recycled ones from past seasons, winners are picked solely just on fan hype and RuPaul himself seems to not really even care for the show anymore. What are thoughts on this ? Is RuPaul drag race slowly dying ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEANGT 4,709 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 they been saying this since season 7. People get sick of it and new people start watching. it's whatever. lol. it's very formulaic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic 49,376 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The quality decline is pretty much... just perceived. The show has always made questionable choices, it's just that they become more obvious when more people are watching it. If seasons 2, 3 or 4 was aired today, it would probably be ripped to shreds by critics and fans alike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 13,646 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Sure it’s not as good or half as camp as it was before it attained mainstream success and VH1 (which is known for produced drama in it’s reality TV), but tbh season 10 and 11 have kinda delivered- especially 11, it’s been the best since season 6, but let’s hope they don’t rob Yvie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davflz 3,293 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 i love the show but i feel like they have been milking it to death since moving to vh1. Especially their choice to now do all stars every year makes it loose momentum and a new drag race season just does not feel special at all anymore i used to absolutely adore the show like 2-3 years ago and now watching it feels almost like a chore. I'm so behind on season 11 i swear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 96,359 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Dunno. Maybe not. It still airing and seems people still watching it. I do not follow the current season, since I lost the spark to after that last All Stars season.

Spock 20,290 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It was good until teenage girls ruined it and they adapted the content/challenges/jokes to fit the mainstream I'm still watching it though who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaky Oliver 20,096 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 No. Season 11 is so good. People hating the show because All Stars makes no sense because AS seasons are meant to be more like of a “showcase” to please fans and build the buzz for the following standard season. I doubt the queens actually feel “robbed” they are aware of how the show works and how all the drama goes to get people talking. I believe they are very grateful anyways because they will benefit from the show even though they didnt win! I’m on my Legacy Act era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
