I think the real top four was Jinkx, Trinity, Viv and Monet based on numbers (if the Talent Show had been one star). That said I think Raja was majorly overlooked in multiple challenges (e.g. Snatch Game) and she should have gotten a spot in the Top 4. My personal top four would have been Jinkx, Raja, Trinity, Jaida mostly based on my own personal preferences. Controversial opinion though, and it's what I think many are thinking but not saying about the Shea situation: The producers are trying to avoid the inevitable backlash that will come from a majority white top four. Going off performance preceding Episode 11, if this were a meritocracy, Shea did not show up at the level of some of the other girls and was nowhere close to making the final. That's no shade on her, she's amazing even just to look at and she's a great activist. However, I don't think it's fair to push her to the final just to up the numbers of Queens of colour. It's not respectful of who Shea is as a performer, it diminishes her actual achievements which are many. Her talents just happen to not 100% line up with the expectations of the show whereas other queens' did and it was unfair to the higher performing queens. She killed the choreography in the Talent Show but it was just a lip synch at the end of the day. What Raja did was mesmerising, deeply personal and vulnerable and the win should have gone to her and Monet. Delighted Jinkx won. Had Monet won I would have gotten on board, but there were many queens who were denied a spot over someone less deserving (based on challenge performance.) Hope that doesn't offend anyone. No I think you're right. There's a video of Trinity K Bonet and Naomi Smalls watching the finale at Rosco's and neither of them clapped or smiled when Jinkx won. Imagine if happened the opposite. And beside that, it's childish and disrespectful towards another sister. I guess that "no send hate to the queens" only applys when the queens are their friends?

Tbh I think it goes even deeper than that as the editing of the season clearly was painting Shea as a wallflower and Jinkx as a barnstormer from the get. My issue is that with these narratives they try to edit in, we don’t really get a good feel for someone’s legit performance throughout the season. I mean, once the arc with Jinkx was done, they stopped heavily showing Viv, for instance. I get they have 8 girls to show but idk it leaves way too much room for production to pull shenanigans like the 3 star thing and have us be like so and so clearly didn’t deserve more wins, stars, etc. This season in particular felt *highly manipulated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 10,938 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Tbh in a weird, ironic way, despite the efforts to make sure no one looks bad, basically every winner looks bad based on this finale lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levine 23,254 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 A boring sunday here so I was thinking: imagine a new panel of 4 new judges composed of all drag queens, who would you pick? I was thinking Bob The Drag Queen: she's good at pretty much everything Raja: for the fashion and the runaways Trixie Mattel: she got better now (on AS3 to me she was a mess) I'm having hard times to think at a 4th name, I think it should be a younger queen to balance the panel. Violet would be too mean, I was thinking at Aquaria maybe? She's a great performer so she can judge lipsync, performances etc. P.s. I would consider Latrice, Monet, Bendela and Jinkx if one of these declined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the three Bob – comedy, hosting Trixie – music, marketing/branding Raja – fashion The fourth would need to be either: the villain character ('villain' like Michelle, i.e. the one who gives the harsh critiques that drive narratives that you don't want the others to say). I think Raja could do it. Maybe Bianca, who would also represent older styles of drag someone who is more acting-focussed like Jinkx. a pageant queen somewhere IDK someone who is a strong dancer/lipsyncer like Shea stream ritacadabra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 72,172 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 hmmm 4 queen judges panel... Bob - a queen of all queens, comedy, music, etc. would be so good Willam - professional (when she wants), keeps herself relevant, cares about queens but keeps it completely real Violet - the ultimate beauty queen, serving villain but talented Katya - the kooky judge, dancing queen, lived many experiences Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levine 23,254 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I'm loving your names. Willam seems impossible expecially if Ru would be executive producer or something. Alaska is too in "character" to be a judge imho. The fact that we all agreed with Roberta The Drag Queen the best ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
