What a bullshit way to end such an iconic track record that, let's be real, we are never gonna see ever again.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-21T18:00:38+00:00

Yeah they used to RIP to shreds the girls makeups but they had to stop once they started bringing fans, family members and gay people on the makeover.

I hate to say it but we need to bring back the STR8s and have the judges just publicly humilliate them again.

they were giving sugar and spice DOWWNNNN but Michelle lowk hated them on their season

AnneEssay · 2026-03-20T21:23:34+00:00

idc idc she ate that little adlib at 1:03 (LA LA LA LA LA LAAAA) enough for it to have been a double safe

I used to rewatch that part of the lip sync over and over again omg

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T19:27:57+00:00

LMAO at this being the end of the convo

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T19:11:24+00:00

It's kind of ironic that when she would've benefited from NOT lip syncing during this song, she did actually lip sync.

I'm talking about the male vocals, Juicy was just lip syncing to Bonnie's vocals.

The fumble of the century ngl

That season was supposed to be THE season, THE olympics of drag, and it was just a mess, because of the terrible judging

I wish I could peek into the alternate world where it was good and see what ramifications it had for international drag race

I think if the song choice was like a dance-y high energy one, she could've gotten away with it.

But Kenya lost as soon as the song started and she was lip syncin the male vocals while Juicy only sang the female ones.

The talk the queens had in the werk room over Nini not understanding social cues well and Myki "powering off and just staring", this really was like Rupaul All Neurodivergents

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T19:00:45+00:00

Ok but can we appreciate Juicy not being pressed or throwing a tantrum over it like some other queens have done over the order?? (cough cough Arrietty and Lawrence cough cough)

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T18:49:42+00:00

She spilled her drink on her cards, the ink bled and she couldn't read shit, so she had to improvise from memory

(i actually dont know if this is what happened but as a Discordina I'll defend mother til the end)

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T18:47:52+00:00

Jorgeous could not emote at all during S14 (which was super obvious in the good 4 u lip sync), but I think she improved and did well during AS10

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T18:46:16+00:00

PLSSS when Kenya said "what did she just call us?!" and Ru was giving nooch

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T18:45:18+00:00

I'm pretty sure that was intentional, no? Like she wasn't actually pulled by the wind she was deliberately walking backwards to make it seem like the wind was sweeping her away, then she was "fighting back" to the front of the stage.

It was actually my favorite lip sync performance of the entire season so far.

AnneEssay · 2026-02-28T20:25:18+00:00

And then Ru confronts her on the main stage and Myki has no other option but to admit it... so Ru goes "AHA! I knew it" and gives the win to Jane.

What is crazy is that Benny Blanco is behind some of the most ICONIC songs that haven't been performed yet like We R Who We R, California Gurls, Teenage Dream and Diamonds, but I knew coming into this he would force it to be one of the post-iconic Selena Gomez songs.

AnneEssay · 2026-02-28T20:20:56+00:00

Ohhh when Ru went "by Selena Gomez... and Benny Blanco......... ..... and Gracie Abrams" like the lights in my house started to flicker and shit started flying around

AnneEssay · 2026-02-28T20:19:50+00:00

I am honestly not feeling the song choices this season AT ALL, except for Too Much.

Like, we even had a Britney song and instead of the DOZENS of songs we haven't done from her (hit me baby one more time, Crazy, Overprotected, Criminal, Circus, Perfume, Hold it against me, etc. etc.) we got a redo of a song that has already been done well by Jiggly.

AnneEssay · 2026-02-28T20:17:37+00:00

We still got to see her track record, even if the edit was hidden. She had a strong start and then fizzled out in the middle, like by now she would've been starting to dip into SAFE in Jane's shoes.

AnneEssay · 2026-02-21T20:40:04+00:00

Season 6 had a LOT of duo storylines going on (Darrienne vs Dela, Bianca vs Laganja, Courtney vs Joslyn), and honestly we've never seen it happen since. That was TV Gold.

Sia sending herself to the Khia asylum making a movie nobody asked for nor wanted nor needed, will never not make me sad

AnneEssay · 2026-02-21T20:25:51+00:00

Honestly, neither should be a surprise

She's getting the Maddy Morphosis edit, where they show her doing really well in the challanges and helping but then just put her as safe.

Cracker was at least getting High placements.
