alsemanche 92,323 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Finished it, what a joke tbh. Monet having more stars than THE Jinkx Monsoon is literally laughable. For what exactly? And Shea? Like come ON, it would have been better to just say hi we want you in the top so you're qualifying, it would have been less embarrassing for everyone involved. Whatever tbh, the season plummeted so hard this episode. Giving 6 stars in one episode is so brainless. The only redeeming thing is that the other 4 queens will get to lipsync so we get to see them again. Anyway, team Jinkx all the way.

Ziggy 10,938 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Y’all this game is like Mario Party. If you’re going to direct hate/vitriol please do it to production as outside the leaks there’s honestly so much more shady sh*t that they’ve pulled this season to get the exact top 4 they wanted (and yes that includes those who “earned” their places in it). WoW is just as shady as any production company and pulls just as many levers to achieve the narrative they seek to the point where they can basically ensure a certain performance out of a queen. So go easy on the girls. They’re more or less having to work and showcase themselves in less than opportune conditions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what exactly? she has more stars than Jinkx because she obliterated the final challenge and no one else came close. I love Jinkx but some of y’all need to stop acting like she’s untouchable this season and that the other queens don’t compare to her. You can have your favorites without discredit the others. Monét and Shea were the correct top 2 imo, and Raja and Yvie did well too - although no one came close to the opera performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monét and Shea were the correct top 2, and Raja and Yvie did well too - although no one came close to the opera performance. Nowhere did I say she sucked or that she didn't deserve the win lmao. She obviously deserved it. Shea, on the other hand, didn't. She did a lipsync, just like most of the other, which is so tired and lame, especially for an All Winners season. At least sing live if you're gonna do a song. That alone makes Jinkx and Raja higher than Shea. And I think Jaida was better than her anyway. What Monet doesnt deserve is the amount of stars she has now, and that's on production, not on her. They gave them 3 stars because that's who they wanted in the top 4. Jinkx had the best snatch game ever and killed that challenge but you don't see them giving her 3 stars for obliterating it. Giving 3 stars for 1 challenge is absolutely unfair to all the other queens who worked their asses off for 10 episodes to get the stars they have. That's what discrediting the hard work of other queens, not us being mad at questionable production choices that make for a bad competition.

Why post it on this section of Gagadaily? You either wanna be seen as the moral winner of this conversation or you wanna publicly pity them. Not a good look. If you really cared you should’ve pm‘d them and sort things out. Ahaha omg you're so sweet, but don't you worry for me I was and I am obviously fine that was a lame and tired tactic to try to make me look like I was angry or something. I stopped discussing with that user because we were on two opposite roads, so it was pointless. _ Anyway, it's not the first time someone here says "it's a game" like in the way "chill". If you wanna do a comparison do it with a tv series or a movie. And it happens that you don't like the end or think the director ruined the end of a movie. We cry, get angry, get emotional when we watch a movie/tv serie and the same happenes with Drag Race and other reality tv shows. If I think my 10 weeks of watching this were tossed in the trash after this episode, I wanna be free to say it. Another thing is going on social medias to attack the queens and that's something stupid that I never did (and I hope none of us did). No one in this thread is going to lose sleep if Monet or Jinkx or Shea or Trinity win this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what discrediting the hard work of other queens, not us being mad at questionable production choices that make for a bad competition. While the lip sync tracks tend to bore me, Shea did absolutely command the stage in a way that made her stand out this week. Raja too. Jinkx was entertaining but no where near the top this week. As far as the stars go, Monét would’ve been in the finale whether it was 1 star or three. She didn’t take anyones spot there. Much like Jinkx having one of the best SGs ever, Monét had one of the best talent show performances ever. Her and Jinkx have been the most consistent this season, and even with 1 star the top 4 would’ve been Jaida, TTT, Monét and Jinkx. Besides, Monét should’ve had another star for the TRL challenge anyway. So you could say Shea took Jaida’s spot in the finale had it not been for the twist, but not Monét. I’m just happy both my favorites (Monét and Jinkx) made it to the finale. Wish Viv did too, but oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasmas 10,231 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 making the top all star break the tie was gaggy!! if the girls had not been bffs all season, this couldve caused such an uproar between them and I would’ve lived! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we do need to remind ourselves from time to time that as much as we’d love for our faves to shine & win on their abilities alone, this is not a talent based competition (and never was, lbr). It’s a game based on luck & chance. And like with all games of luck & chance, there will always be bonus rounds, chances to double prizes, and opportunities to “take out” other players, which in turn will just seem like riggor morris to the viewer but that’s just how these types of games go. Unfortunately, I can’t see WoW ever changing Drag Race into a talent based competition. I think that’s why they may have created Queens of the Universe; for those who do want a talent competition. Plus, we all know the REAL winners are outside of the show. Like, Raja is basically a saint amongst fans now and they go wild for her at clubs/bars even though she ranked low this season. I guess I say all this to say that we do need to chill sometimes, lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want people to obsess over it, they want to create the buzz, the discussions and even the fights. I agree with the chill side about not spreading hate online expecially towards the queens (that's stupid and disgusting), but being passionate about a show it's normal. And I disagree with the luck and chance part, because they know from the casting who they want in the finale and they'll try everything to get the queens chosen there. (I mean it happens with the most poor productions here in italy, I can only imagine on a milion dollars worth production like that). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I mean it happens with the most poor productions here in italy, I can only imagine on a milion dollars worth production like that). It does and in ways that actually haven’t leaked (yet; idk if they will or not). This season, despite seeming more “equal” is just as if not more tampered with than other DR seasons and that means even making sure that someone who would actually do well on their own and almost definitely make it to the final, is given an even easier ride there to create a winning narrative. Top-down, this season is highly tampered with and should be taken with a grain of salt as to how “real” the competition is. I think it’s better to look at it as more of an all stars revue of the best drag race has to offer and try to disregard the competition parts since they’re so stretched beyond belief way beyond the leaks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I liked how I could lay back and just enjoy the queens this time around. Perhaps that is why it may have been tampered with, lol?

Guest Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I am so sad for Raja, she deserved a top4 instead of Monet, so at least I hope she wins the bottom 4 Lalaparooza!!

She’s just the strongest performer out of the four finalists, but we know that really doesn’t matter. There’s no way production isn’t crowning Jinkx, I’m certain.
