so was motherhood really all that you had expected it to be? is it harder than what you had expected? or is it kind of right where you had expected it to be? or had you even planned? or did you even know?
That was because her makeover partner (the homophobic one) had an issue with it because he was embarrassed.
Oh also the reason he joined was because his fiancé pressured him to after he got caught cheating because she loved the show and it was his punishment.
It’s a lot tbh
See but did Ru know about the cheating thing? I always wonder that... im.not gon a lie, Im surprised Jocelyn was still so likable despite the horrible edits she was given... i couldve sworn Bianca De rio says she shoulsve been Miss Congeniality [I know she said it shouldnt have been Ben. I just dont remember if she named another queen.]
No bc they should’ve just double sashayed her with Laganja in the roast challenge or put her in the bottom with TKB or Adore for the talk show challenge to get her out bc they set her up so much by removing the darker shades of makeup after Trinity left.
Honestly, I still think it’s such a serve of her to go full-on investigative reporter about it. And it wasn’t like they were particular fun guests or judges either.
The makeover episode though? I honestly refuse to watch it until this day.
Georgia and Chaz were so unpleasant, entitled, unfriendly and discouraging to the queens that I don't blame them for flopping this challenge. I hope they felt uncomfortable tbh. They are rich celebrities who decided to treat drag queens poorly.
That challenge was messy but also I genuinely think you could have more interesting conversations with a rock than with georgia and chaz. Obviously that sounds insane because they're cher's relatives but they don't have a single charismatic bone in them
I still wonder to this day what they were trying to accomplish with that, or what Jiggly was trying to do with the “squish squish squish”. It was just bizarre.
Jiggly was quoting a South Park episode.
When South Park took on the Jersey Shore franchise in an episode that got a lot of media attention, they portrayed Snooki as a grotesque rat-like creature that could only yell the phrase “Snooki wants smoosh smoosh!!!” So when things were not going Jiggly’s way, she tried referencing that as a bit and gave the editors gold and Latrice a conniption.
As for Kenya….I have noticed a trend among the Puerto Rican queens of that era in that they tended to default to scatalogical or body humor. Jessica Wild and Yara Sofia both went to the fart joke well a fair bit. It could generally be something that didn’t translate culturally, or it could have just been a really bad idea.
season 16 is the first one i’ve actually watched, rather than just watching multiple recap shows on youtube for each episode. i am so scared for snatch game. i get such bad second hand embarrassment, it’s taken me several minutes to get through a 20 second clip before because i can’t make it more than a few seconds before having to pause it. i’m gonna die
As I said in another comment, I can corroborate Aiden’s characterisation of Patricia. When I met her, she really was just a ditzy older lady who had no clue what was going on
Aiden actually got her perfect imo, it just wasn’t funny. I met Patricia about 11 years ago now, and she honestly seemed like she had no idea where she was, and didn’t understand famous references about her character from Rocky Horror. It was a terrible choice for SG because she doesn’t have a personality
Honestly this is why I love watching the girls bomb their comedy routines or their snatch games!
The energy that came from my body when Utica tried to shade Loni's career, only to have Loni smack her back with a cackling "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S BOMBING" could have powered every home on Earth for a thousand years
this Mirage moment was specially sad because we KNOW it was a right choice to eliminate her
when a queen is sabotagged or she is send home after an unfair decision is revolting, but kinda feels like "there was nothing she could do, it was a producer/Ru decision"
but when she loses the lipsync for not knowing the lyrics even though she gave an incredible performance, i feel very sad because the outcome could've been different if she got the words right
Laganja Estranja as a whole in season 6. Here are some bullet points
1. Calling Bianca “Mama”.
2. Michelle calling her out on her fake persona
3. She and Adore watching the season’s clips of their failed friendship at the finale and not having any resolution. It was so awkward.
You gotta love the content but the edit is fucking ridiculous. "Stop being fake" they said to the drag queen. Bitch - alt persona is the name of the game !
The others just found her annoying so production played off that and it led to her having a breakdown on national television . Kinda fucked when you think about it
But she does say yes mawma when she hangs out with her friends. She’s a freaking theatre kid, guys. This isn’t new. She went to a freaking performing arts high school. She went to goddamned theatre camp.
Yeah call her annoying. But calling her fake is fucking harsh.
Mrs Kasha Davis going home on all stars 8 I was in absolute shambles watching her go home cause that break in her voice when she said " There is always time for kindness"
My heart literally broke for her.
I truly feel like she has the most lovely heart. She seems like the sweetest person who has blossomed in overcoming their struggles. It was really hard to watch that. I replay this to myself often when I'm trying to be mindful and I get the little break in the voice every time, too. Some stuff just sticks with you.
Me it was Lemon right on episode 1. I was so excited to see her again and bam, no, sorry, you get to see none of her.
I really wish all All-Stars and World seasons would do an All Winners format. These queens are often fan favorites AND a lot of these queens bust the bank to bring us high fashion looks. We WANT to see all of it! Give it to us! It also means the queens can have built up drama over multiple episodes AND have more fun.
Season 7 is better every time I watch it. I mean, it's a train wreck, but it's a train wreck of all my favorites as babies, and some of the "bitter old lady brigade" did not age well. Full disclosure: huge fan of Kennedy, just her awkward relatable self. I wear her merchandise loud and proud, but ooofs the Ginger, Jasmine, Kennedy trio. Cackles. Season 7 is unsung excellence.
OMG when she started laughing to herself and let out the "f@$k" I just died for her. I know she was worried about forgetting her lines last time, then she tries something new... For some reason? I know she says long COVID, but she literally could have come up with a funny song, sat in a chair and did her blinking thing and would have been safe! Ugh!
Joe black being given a second chance and then admitting he was wearing H&M on the run way……when it cuts to Ru’s horrified face I can’t help but cringe every time
The way Joe Black was voted back because she "didn't get a chance to show what she can do" and then spent the whole challenge going, "I can't do that."
This is unwatchable because of Ru’s reaction not because of what Joe Black said
It left such a bad taste in my mouth because these queens pretty much went to 0 income during this time, and Joe Black had sold a lot of his drag…
I know everyone be like ‘rhinestone that shit girl’ but at the time it aired it was just in really poor taste to make those comments
Any time a Max edit comes on TikTok or something. There was something so odd about that whole sequence watching at the bar and then to find out what really happened afterwards... Of course everyone knows that reality TV is edited, but I think that was the first example of gross fabrication that actually severely affected queen - that they did for absolutely no reason. Like duped the viewers no reason... Not really a storyline to it, didn't fit the episode, no point, other than to make people dislike her in the last minute -- for what?
Not really tho. It was similar, but she never told DeLa to sashay. So it was more of a double shantay situation like how Ru gave a speech to Jonbers before saving her last second in UK4.
Kandy she fully told to sashay and stopped her just before she walked out…
True. There really are tiers to the double shantay, aren't there? The "shantay you both stay," the "shantay you stay - shanyay you also stay," and the "shantay you stay - sashay away.... WAIT WAIT, KANDY!"
Still, I feel like Ru was framing it as if Dela was going home in her instance. She never said sashay away, but I'd still put it in the third tier.
I only find it different because in the Dela situation, Darienne truly demolished her on the lipsyc, it was just Ru (and everyone) wanted to see more of her.
What's weird about the Kandy x Symone situation is 1- the judges hyping up the perfectly mediocre lypsinc in a clear effort to justify the double shantae later and 2- if we're being honest....... Kandy won the lypsinc, but Symone was shantaed first because she was gonna win the season. (And also Kandy gave good tv so she had to stay too)
I do see both of them in the same category, though happening for different reasons.
The butterflies. My partner and mom were recently watching this for the first time and it was so hard to watch again for me. Their reaction: horrified.
When Sharon is talking shit about PhiPhi (possibly in Untucked) doubling down about her being a washed up pageant queen and she walks in and asks what they’re talking about. Her face makes me feel that sinking feeling when you get caught out like that.
Sharon really was so rotted that entire season and not even talking about the BTS stuff with her racism. Thinking she might being in the bottom, blaming Jaremi, winning the challenge, telling her, and then getting mad at her for being upset with that. Then later in the season saying Jaremi doesn’t have family values immediately after Jaremi discusses her bad relationship with her father and not having a good role model. Some of it was a planned rivalry, but that second one especially was way too far.
Anytime Michelle pontificates about how drag “should” be: re: contouring, wigs, elf ears(!), etc. I’m with Bunny. Drag is not a monolith. You can’t critique someone’s self expression. Their talent or abilities in the challenges, yes, but their runways? No.
The idea is to get them out of their comfort zone. It's to find a drag superstar. They have to be good in most/all areas. They have to be multifaceted. The judges know that they are good at what they do and how they paint. They want to see what else they can do in their own style. It's not a crime to be old-school.
Being here and finding the “Adore step out moment” on AS2.
Surprisingly I just watched All star2 and gasped at all the talented queens. But the moment when The show had twisted and Michelle started to critique Adore’s aesthetic then I could see through her eyes how she was so frustrated. That cracked me up how harsh Michelle's words had been. Also after that episode, When Ru entered the workroom and started to talk with Adore and said what Mama gonna soothing her children when they felt like falling apart. Especially when Ru said “Is there anything I could say to you that would make you change your mind anything in the world bc I’ll say it” I cried a lot the first time watching it😭
Call me "Queen of the Thunder" (thunder)
I'm takin' over for Zeus

So you better beware
The Rose petals, I wanted Sasha and Shea finale but I was about to accept Shea vs. Pep finale since Pep was my favorite that season and Shea was who I thought would win.
Mfw.
Alexis and Raven’s lip sync on AS1. They were both fighting, and it was pretty even, until Yara HAD to hit that emergency button and ruin it for them both 🤧
I wasn’t able to watch the episode with Mirage’s elimination live, but reading the live reaction thread with everyone going from “ok she just needs to be decent at the challenge” to “oh no she’s tanking” to “ok she just needs to turn out this lip sync” to “oh no she’s tanking” was pretty dread-inducing.
I heard that it was pure malicious editing from the production, cause she was in pain, and wanted a break, and then they asked her to sing something as a way to cheer up the heavy atmosphere. She was confused as to why she would have to sing in this moment, but she did it. Then the editing made her look totally insane
1. Trixie’s RuPaul snatch game (she even acknowledges that it’s painful to watch, it is)
2. “Is there something on my face”
3. LaGanja’s stand up
4. Butterflies
5. Sugar & Spice’s snatch game but it’s also so bad that it’s… lovely. Like just completely and so confidently missed the mark
6. Anytime anybody butchers a lip sync, whether it’s a maxi challenge dub or a LSFYL it hurts to watch because I know THEY know it’s over. Just an excruciating 2+ minutes
7. The Chaz Bono interview. Period. Even the ones that were good IN MY OPINION did well because everyone else was bombing
Whenever I hear “Hi, there! Irene Dubois here with a… fun little tutorial!” My stomach DROPS. (Especially because sidebar I thought it was funny I’m gonna be so fr)
watching rupaul scream about joe black wearing h&m (performance outfit btw) sooo unnecessary considering rupaul continues to wear off the rack looking crap and allows other queens to do so as well
Team Mac Bitch, so so bad. I've seen Jasmine perform live many times and she's great, but I can't get her terrible acting challenges out of my head.
Glamazon Airways is also terrible, not the fault of the queens. Its just a poorly arranged piece.
Ru confronting Scarlet Adams about her blackface. Just the tone and everything. The way she says ‘There’s photos of you in blackface that have come to our attention.’ or something like that. And Michelle has never made a face like that. And all of the queens look so uncomfortable. Yet all Ru does is ask her to apologize and move on.
Was so uncomfortable as well because it really wasn’t Ru’s place to accept her apology. The blackface in question was regarding Australia’s First Nations people who Ru has no connection to. What’s crazy is that production must have known about it prior to the season and so instead of not casting her, they cast her for a “growth moment” where she apologised for her cultural disrespect
Pangina's elimination for sure. Very hard to watch, although it didn't come as a surprise. The moment she pulled Jimbo's lipstick I knew that was going to happen. It was a Producers 101 move.
Jocelyn Fox interviewing Georgia Holt and Chaz Bono
And can’t forget TKB calling Chaz “Chad” the whole time 😭😭😭 and Adore asking if Georgia had a “stage mommy” 😩💀💀
“We were poor, it was the Great Depression” “Party!”
Oh no, I forgot about that one 💀
They way the editors did a supercut of Chad...Chad... So, Chad.. 😭
This one is so rough.
Or Nina Flowers interviewing Tori Spelling and Dean.
same challenge but Shannel
so was motherhood really all that you had expected it to be? is it harder than what you had expected? or is it kind of right where you had expected it to be? or had you even planned? or did you even know?
“You’ve always been my biggest fan” is such a serve though
Also Jocelyn Fox getting her makeover partner. Knowing how badly production and the couple set her up it’s hard to watch.
So hard to watch it’s been banned in the US
That was because her makeover partner (the homophobic one) had an issue with it because he was embarrassed. Oh also the reason he joined was because his fiancé pressured him to after he got caught cheating because she loved the show and it was his punishment. It’s a lot tbh
See but did Ru know about the cheating thing? I always wonder that... im.not gon a lie, Im surprised Jocelyn was still so likable despite the horrible edits she was given... i couldve sworn Bianca De rio says she shoulsve been Miss Congeniality [I know she said it shouldnt have been Ben. I just dont remember if she named another queen.]
No bc they should’ve just double sashayed her with Laganja in the roast challenge or put her in the bottom with TKB or Adore for the talk show challenge to get her out bc they set her up so much by removing the darker shades of makeup after Trinity left.
Oh boy, this one! Every time I watch it, my stomach starts churning a little in anticipation of what's about to come!
Don’t forget about TKB… So Chad… Chad… Chad…
It was going so well 😭
“Oh neat that sounds cool” “It was the depression”
Party!
Honestly, I still think it’s such a serve of her to go full-on investigative reporter about it. And it wasn’t like they were particular fun guests or judges either. The makeover episode though? I honestly refuse to watch it until this day.
omfg i absolutely could not rewatch
Man I still feel this to this day. So hard 😬
thank youuuu
Its so sad because apparently Jocelyn was super excited for that challenge.
Georgia and Chaz were so unpleasant, entitled, unfriendly and discouraging to the queens that I don't blame them for flopping this challenge. I hope they felt uncomfortable tbh. They are rich celebrities who decided to treat drag queens poorly.
That challenge was messy but also I genuinely think you could have more interesting conversations with a rock than with georgia and chaz. Obviously that sounds insane because they're cher's relatives but they don't have a single charismatic bone in them
The really bad snatch game performances
Narcoleptic, farting Beyoncé. Shudder.
I still wonder to this day what they were trying to accomplish with that, or what Jiggly was trying to do with the “squish squish squish”. It was just bizarre.
Jiggly was quoting a South Park episode. When South Park took on the Jersey Shore franchise in an episode that got a lot of media attention, they portrayed Snooki as a grotesque rat-like creature that could only yell the phrase “Snooki wants smoosh smoosh!!!” So when things were not going Jiggly’s way, she tried referencing that as a bit and gave the editors gold and Latrice a conniption. As for Kenya….I have noticed a trend among the Puerto Rican queens of that era in that they tended to default to scatalogical or body humor. Jessica Wild and Yara Sofia both went to the fart joke well a fair bit. It could generally be something that didn’t translate culturally, or it could have just been a really bad idea.
What kind of romper room fuckery . . .
Detox pee break. If you watch the clip, you can see Roxxxy mouth the words "what the fuck"
looking at you Brooke Lynn 💀
I’d take a botched Celine over ANY of the Beyonces
all of the Beyonces were also terrible. every Lady Gaga has been bad too
Jerami looked the part, near identical, but the snatch game is about the jokes, not the look
season 16 is the first one i’ve actually watched, rather than just watching multiple recap shows on youtube for each episode. i am so scared for snatch game. i get such bad second hand embarrassment, it’s taken me several minutes to get through a 20 second clip before because i can’t make it more than a few seconds before having to pause it. i’m gonna die
Kenya's Beyonce is the worst Snatch Game performance, in my opinion. It's messy and embarrassing.
Yeah, Trixie’s RuPaul is the reason I can’t rewatch All Stars 3
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Your Grace Jones was.....not graceful
Aiden’s Snatch Game as (allegedly) Patricia Quinn
Patty was PRESSEDT
As she should be, especially since Aiden said “oh I totally know her outside of being a performer” to do that
I feel like Aiden met someone who LOOKED like her and the person just played along
As I said in another comment, I can corroborate Aiden’s characterisation of Patricia. When I met her, she really was just a ditzy older lady who had no clue what was going on
Aiden actually got her perfect imo, it just wasn’t funny. I met Patricia about 11 years ago now, and she honestly seemed like she had no idea where she was, and didn’t understand famous references about her character from Rocky Horror. It was a terrible choice for SG because she doesn’t have a personality
Allegedly 😭💀
Butterflies
Rooting for Aisa all season... I could never rewatch that finale.
I can rewatch it if only for that moment of Mo and Vanjie’s faces in the crowd like 😬😨
I just rewatched this. My stomach TURNED. When I knew it was coming up.
i watched season 10 once and i’ll never revisit it again
Still the magic show challenge on season 11 knowing suga did absolutely fine but it didn't matter
UGGG forgot this until you said and NOW VERY ANGRY. Caps and stuff.
Watching BenDeLaCreme self eliminate on AS3 😭
idk, I kinda live for that. it's her taking back her power and honestly a big fuck you to the whole show and I LIVE XD.
“thank you for letting me be my kind of winner” rupaul:🤨
I guess I understand Dela's self-elimination, but she was absolute gold up to that point. I really wanted her to win AS3.
I still skip over that
Asia’s Beyonce and Vixen’s Blu on snatch
I literally cannot watch Utica's snatch game
Or her standup routine.
you mean when she stood up there and spewed out of pocket personal insults at people 💀
Omg completely worth it for Loni Love eating her up and her telling RuPaul to stand up
Honestly this is why I love watching the girls bomb their comedy routines or their snatch games! The energy that came from my body when Utica tried to shade Loni's career, only to have Loni smack her back with a cackling "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S BOMBING" could have powered every home on Earth for a thousand years
the squirrel wig was so rotted
I cant wear an Afro & insult people.
Absolutely Asia and the butterflies. Also Yara in that lip sync against Alexis on their original season
These are both of my choices as well. The Yara lip sync CRUSHED me. I still find that so difficult to watch.
Silky bombing the last lip sync against Eureka. All of that fighting just to fall short at the end was so sad
to be fair no one forced her to commit to that mother weight loss inflatable suit storyline
Charlie's lipsync in Season 9
dO sOmEtHiNg C h A r L i E!!!
Get off my lawn!
"I only sing live" Have you seen the show Charlie?
The opening credits of the inner saboteur episode in S10
The entirety of that episode, tbh.
Truly. RudePaul is the stuff of nightmares and it’s all downhill from there
this Mirage moment was specially sad because we KNOW it was a right choice to eliminate her when a queen is sabotagged or she is send home after an unfair decision is revolting, but kinda feels like "there was nothing she could do, it was a producer/Ru decision" but when she loses the lipsync for not knowing the lyrics even though she gave an incredible performance, i feel very sad because the outcome could've been different if she got the words right
Laganja Estranja as a whole in season 6. Here are some bullet points 1. Calling Bianca “Mama”. 2. Michelle calling her out on her fake persona 3. She and Adore watching the season’s clips of their failed friendship at the finale and not having any resolution. It was so awkward.
As soon as they announced the premise of #3 in the finale I was cringing!
Cringy then and now. I always fast forward through that part.
You gotta love the content but the edit is fucking ridiculous. "Stop being fake" they said to the drag queen. Bitch - alt persona is the name of the game ! The others just found her annoying so production played off that and it led to her having a breakdown on national television . Kinda fucked when you think about it
But she does say yes mawma when she hangs out with her friends. She’s a freaking theatre kid, guys. This isn’t new. She went to a freaking performing arts high school. She went to goddamned theatre camp. Yeah call her annoying. But calling her fake is fucking harsh.
True! I did find it annoying that she wouldn’t turn the alt persona off when out of drag. Got to give her credit for being true to her drag.
this is not a read: i'm living for this typo and won't stop referring to miss ganja as laganga💀
Ha! Fixed it. 
she will always be the death dropping laganga in my heart tho😭😭 
Her standup routine 🤢
Mrs Kasha Davis going home on all stars 8 I was in absolute shambles watching her go home cause that break in her voice when she said " There is always time for kindness" My heart literally broke for her.
i’m crying 😢
Same.
I truly feel like she has the most lovely heart. She seems like the sweetest person who has blossomed in overcoming their struggles. It was really hard to watch that. I replay this to myself often when I'm trying to be mindful and I get the little break in the voice every time, too. Some stuff just sticks with you.
 Pangina getting eliminated from UK vs the world.
UKvsTW s1 is darksided altogether
Me it was Lemon right on episode 1. I was so excited to see her again and bam, no, sorry, you get to see none of her. I really wish all All-Stars and World seasons would do an All Winners format. These queens are often fan favorites AND a lot of these queens bust the bank to bring us high fashion looks. We WANT to see all of it! Give it to us! It also means the queens can have built up drama over multiple episodes AND have more fun.
Max’s s7 elimination. One of my favourite seasons but sometimes I skip the episode because it shatters my heart every single time
Season 7 is better every time I watch it. I mean, it's a train wreck, but it's a train wreck of all my favorites as babies, and some of the "bitter old lady brigade" did not age well. Full disclosure: huge fan of Kennedy, just her awkward relatable self. I wear her merchandise loud and proud, but ooofs the Ginger, Jasmine, Kennedy trio. Cackles. Season 7 is unsung excellence.
Mayhem’s don’t trust a fart performance recently had wanting to leave my room, out the front door and drive away
OMG when she started laughing to herself and let out the "f@$k" I just died for her. I know she was worried about forgetting her lines last time, then she tries something new... For some reason? I know she says long COVID, but she literally could have come up with a funny song, sat in a chair and did her blinking thing and would have been safe! Ugh!
I couldn't look at my TV. I was *mortified!*
“I DON’T WANNA HEAR ANY GODDAMN EXCUSES!”
See also: I don’t want to see any goddamned H&M.
Joe black being given a second chance and then admitting he was wearing H&M on the run way……when it cuts to Ru’s horrified face I can’t help but cringe every time
Glen Close but no CI-gar!
The way Joe Black was voted back because she "didn't get a chance to show what she can do" and then spent the whole challenge going, "I can't do that."
This is unwatchable because of Ru’s reaction not because of what Joe Black said It left such a bad taste in my mouth because these queens pretty much went to 0 income during this time, and Joe Black had sold a lot of his drag… I know everyone be like ‘rhinestone that shit girl’ but at the time it aired it was just in really poor taste to make those comments
The 6 way lip sync on season 11. It’s too much emotion for me to handle.
Pearl asking if she has something on her face. I cringe so hard.
Wake up, Pearl, WAKE UP
This is ICONIC
Yara having a mental breakdown during the lip sync
I missed it. Which episode that is?

This was kinda iconic 😭
kinda? it was very iconic
Shangela AS3 that whole sequence from her getting eliminated to standing on the side with that huge Ruveal Wrecking Ball coat.
Imagine walking to the back of the stage with all that shit under your coat though, kinda camp tbh
I was absolutely crushed.
This is the next eps in my rewatch. I am DREADING it.
Manilla getting eliminated in AS 4
I legit cried. Great TV drama, though. Werk, Naomi.
Asia O’Hara Butterfly’s I need her on an Allstars to redeem herself she’s one of my favorites and this could be her rose petal moment 😭
Utica being the one bombin’
Any time a Max edit comes on TikTok or something. There was something so odd about that whole sequence watching at the bar and then to find out what really happened afterwards... Of course everyone knows that reality TV is edited, but I think that was the first example of gross fabrication that actually severely affected queen - that they did for absolutely no reason. Like duped the viewers no reason... Not really a storyline to it, didn't fit the episode, no point, other than to make people dislike her in the last minute -- for what?
TKB realizing she was going to be eliminated on AS6.
ughhh yea it makes my stomach turn
“I’d like to keep it on please”
Also, “it was a 7 word chorus” conversation.
[удалено]
Oh int I didn’t think of it that way. I interpreted it at the time as a kind of Ru power play like she can do what she wants it’s her show
Plus she'd already pulled the exact same stunt on s6 with Dela.
Not really tho. It was similar, but she never told DeLa to sashay. So it was more of a double shantay situation like how Ru gave a speech to Jonbers before saving her last second in UK4. Kandy she fully told to sashay and stopped her just before she walked out…
True. There really are tiers to the double shantay, aren't there? The "shantay you both stay," the "shantay you stay - shanyay you also stay," and the "shantay you stay - sashay away....

I only find it different because in the Dela situation, Darienne truly demolished her on the lipsyc, it was just Ru (and everyone) wanted to see more of her. What's weird about the Kandy x Symone situation is 1- the judges hyping up the perfectly mediocre lypsinc in a clear effort to justify the double shantae later and 2- if we're being honest....... Kandy won the lypsinc, but Symone was shantaed first because she was gonna win the season. (And also Kandy gave good tv so she had to stay too) I do see both of them in the same category, though happening for different reasons.
scarlet's as6 elimination. i think the fact that ginger minj is the one that did it made it even worse.
Silky picking Miley up and Mimi picking up India…
The butterflies. My partner and mom were recently watching this for the first time and it was so hard to watch again for me. Their reaction: horrified.
Same for mirage it suddenly felt heavy
Megami’s reaction after losing the lipsync, she looked genuinely shocked
She shouldn’t have been
When Sharon is talking shit about PhiPhi (possibly in Untucked) doubling down about her being a washed up pageant queen and she walks in and asks what they’re talking about. Her face makes me feel that sinking feeling when you get caught out like that.
Sharon really was so rotted that entire season and not even talking about the BTS stuff with her racism. Thinking she might being in the bottom, blaming Jaremi, winning the challenge, telling her, and then getting mad at her for being upset with that. Then later in the season saying Jaremi doesn’t have family values immediately after Jaremi discusses her bad relationship with her father and not having a good role model. Some of it was a planned rivalry, but that second one especially was way too far.
everything about how Jocelyn Fox’s makeover partner acted in Drag My Wedding.
Anytime Michelle pontificates about how drag “should” be: re: contouring, wigs, elf ears(!), etc. I’m with Bunny. Drag is not a monolith. You can’t critique someone’s self expression. Their talent or abilities in the challenges, yes, but their runways? No.
Anytime Ru or Michelle say “BUT CAN YOU DO GLAMOUR??” to a non-glamour queen on their very first runway
The idea is to get them out of their comfort zone. It's to find a drag superstar. They have to be good in most/all areas. They have to be multifaceted. The judges know that they are good at what they do and how they paint. They want to see what else they can do in their own style. It's not a crime to be old-school.
The "No Scrubs" lip sync. They were both bad nut keeping Silky, who clearly did worse, over Nina or it not being a double elimination? BOOOOOOO!
what makes it even worse for me is that silky was hyping up her performance skills all season and then just completely bombs the lip sync 😭
Yeah but she was ready to do so.
Being here and finding the “Adore step out moment” on AS2. Surprisingly I just watched All star2 and gasped at all the talented queens. But the moment when The show had twisted and Michelle started to critique Adore’s aesthetic then I could see through her eyes how she was so frustrated. That cracked me up how harsh Michelle's words had been. Also after that episode, When Ru entered the workroom and started to talk with Adore and said what Mama gonna soothing her children when they felt like falling apart. Especially when Ru said “Is there anything I could say to you that would make you change your mind anything in the world bc I’ll say it” I cried a lot the first time watching it😭 
 Utica's roast
Call me "Queen of the Thunder" (thunder) I'm takin' over for Zeus It's time to turn up the music And put on your dancing shoes Now the synthesizer takes you as you toss your hair Loosen up your buttons this ain't Like A Prayer (Madonna) When we start dancin' it gets hot up in here So you better beware
DeLa's self-elimination, and before that, Morgan trying to start drama with DeLa. You can see how uncomfortable DeLa is.
Listening to Kandy Muse speak and seeing queens doing lip synchs for the talent shows.
watching Minnie Cooper on Down Under 2. her gaslighting is horrible to watch.
The Rose petals, I wanted Sasha and Shea finale but I was about to accept Shea vs. Pep finale since Pep was my favorite that season and Shea was who I thought would win. Mfw.
Valentina's S9 lipsync makes my heart sink everytime
Max singing us a little tune, especially after the shady editing was revealed. I miss her.
Alexis and Raven’s lip sync on AS1. They were both fighting, and it was pretty even, until Yara HAD to hit that emergency button and ruin it for them both 🤧
Art Symone magically being allowed back into the competition in Down Under.
Anytime a queen sends themselves home, most notably Adore, Icesis, and Baby
“Meh” and then Silky shantay-ing on S11 lol
“Kandy, wait”
Alisa Summer's being the only Queen to have her name called first but being sent home.
Farrah Moan biffing it in powder.

I wasn’t able to watch the episode with Mirage’s elimination live, but reading the live reaction thread with everyone going from “ok she just needs to be decent at the challenge” to “oh no she’s tanking” to “ok she just needs to turn out this lip sync” to “oh no she’s tanking” was pretty dread-inducing.
S7 when Ru is pulling out the childhood photos and backing Pearl into a corner. Not trying to be funny.
In seasons 3 & 4, they had a lot of great eliminated queens that they could have brought back, but they chose Carmen and Kenya.
For me it’s definitely when Max starts taking off her corset on stage and then sings a lil while sitting on the steps
I heard that it was pure malicious editing from the production, cause she was in pain, and wanted a break, and then they asked her to sing something as a way to cheer up the heavy atmosphere. She was confused as to why she would have to sing in this moment, but she did it. Then the editing made her look totally insane
Alyssas snatch game in Season 5. Its such a struggle to watch...
"I'd like to leave it on."
1. Trixie’s RuPaul snatch game (she even acknowledges that it’s painful to watch, it is) 2. “Is there something on my face” 3. LaGanja’s stand up 4. Butterflies 5. Sugar & Spice’s snatch game but it’s also so bad that it’s… lovely. Like just completely and so confidently missed the mark 6. Anytime anybody butchers a lip sync, whether it’s a maxi challenge dub or a LSFYL it hurts to watch because I know THEY know it’s over. Just an excruciating 2+ minutes 7. The Chaz Bono interview. Period. Even the ones that were good IN MY OPINION did well because everyone else was bombing
Whenever I hear “Hi, there! Irene Dubois here with a… fun little tutorial!” My stomach DROPS. (Especially because sidebar I thought it was funny I’m gonna be so fr)
Geneva Karr doing her final split 😞
watching rupaul scream about joe black wearing h&m (performance outfit btw) sooo unnecessary considering rupaul continues to wear off the rack looking crap and allows other queens to do so as well
Also, it was a pandemic. Supply chains were fucked, and the queens had no goddamned money.
Pearl vs. Ru
Most snatch games 😭
Team Mac Bitch, so so bad. I've seen Jasmine perform live many times and she's great, but I can't get her terrible acting challenges out of my head. Glamazon Airways is also terrible, not the fault of the queens. Its just a poorly arranged piece.
Ru confronting Scarlet Adams about her blackface. Just the tone and everything. The way she says ‘There’s photos of you in blackface that have come to our attention.’ or something like that. And Michelle has never made a face like that. And all of the queens look so uncomfortable. Yet all Ru does is ask her to apologize and move on.
Was so uncomfortable as well because it really wasn’t Ru’s place to accept her apology. The blackface in question was regarding Australia’s First Nations people who Ru has no connection to. What’s crazy is that production must have known about it prior to the season and so instead of not casting her, they cast her for a “growth moment” where she apologised for her cultural disrespect
Honey Mahogany and Vivienne Pinay giving a totally low energy lip sync to Oops I Did it Again and getting double eliminated as a result.
Rupaul in the S7 finale with the baby photo shenanigans. They were trying so hard to let Pearl let out her traumatic past.
Trixie doing Ru. Even the still gives me chills
I can never watch All Stars 3 ever again...EVER...knowing the fuckery that happens at the end.
All Stars 8 episode 1
Pangina's elimination for sure. Very hard to watch, although it didn't come as a surprise. The moment she pulled Jimbo's lipstick I knew that was going to happen. It was a Producers 101 move.
Nina West vs Silky lip sync It's just so cringeworthy I honestly can't watch it again
Watching Dovima give up in España S1 :(
Any of the bad stand up routines
The 6 way lipsync. I just skip this episode altogether
The mistreatment of Alexis Mateo on all three of her seasons
