Levine 23,628 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 10 hours ago, bionic said: I expect Ru can protect his favorites (Symone, Lawrence Cheney, Kandy, for example...) and I expect most seasons are cast with a top 4 (maybe even a top 2) in mind and its everybody else's opportunity to prove them wrong/right. My best friend is a producer on a reality show where I live and when they have the final cast, they already know/want/expect who are the finalists. And keep in mind that this reality show is led by a PUBLIC VOTE (yeah, I know). Of course there are underdogs, unexpected contestants who won etc but they start with a precise idea. And this is a reality show, I can't even think how precise are their ideas on a talent show like Drag Race when you already know how talented queens are.

Most fat contestants have been villainized and discredited. Even if they do well, they are still treated lesser. Acting like that's not an issue is totally ignorant. And drawing false equivocations between marginalized communities as if acknowledging one form of implicit bias invalidates others is positively false. Not you defending them and calling them fat at the same time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,446 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Spoiler Lawrence Cheney, a plus size queen, won season 2 and he was the clear winner from the beginning. Not to mention we had the Silky show last week. I think there's definitely a place to call out bias or "fatphobia", but a competition where there are honest critiques is not it. Maybe in a few years. On 8/27/2021 at 11:38 AM, RichAssPiss said: There is no reason that fatphobia cancels out transphobia or vice versa. You're making up a correlation that does not exist. We have taken stock and remedied a lot of the villanization and abuse by the show of queens of color and we're seeing more queens of color succeed and find favor with fans now And that's good. Casting has finally ended the ban on trans women who have had gender affirming surgeries, and we're seeing women not have to hide their identities to succeed and find favor with fans now. And that's good. But for some reason whenever you mention fatphobia as an issue people chime in with "Oh, yeah, well..." and give reasons why they've convinced themselves it isn't. Just recognize that all of these are issues and none invalidates the other. In this case, we have four finalists and two are thin and two are fat and the thin queens are predictably the runaway favorites. Fatphobia plays a role in that. If you don't think so, then you are not recognizing it as an issue like you say you are. How bout, none of the plus size queens that have been on the show had the "it" factor. Just look at Drag Race UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,446 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Kylie was my pick from the first episode, mainly because I prefer the OG queens, BUT she has also improved SO much. However, Ra'jah really took me by surprise and she has stood out to me the most this season. I voted Ra'jah but would be happy with Kylie winning also. Glad Eureka came back instead of... Silky , but Eureka d doesn't scream All Star to me. She has nothing else to prove, she has an HBO show and is super successful. Ginger should have stayed in season 7 imo. DEFINITELY not come back for All Stars 2 or 6 wtf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the show should do more than 100k. it can't possibly be this because it would be insulting to Ginger who is most objectively the best contestant. I love Ra'jah's charisma and talent but she looks green next to Ginger. Kylie is very unimpressive imo but she's hardworking and production have been pushing her so hard that I can see them crowning her. I would not be mad if it was Eureka, but Ra'jah's got my heart and Ginger has my objective vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
