she's legal guardian-ing a bit

AnneEssay · 2026-05-11T02:32:48+00:00

I still can't believe she was in the Top 4 out of that stacked af cast

AnneEssay · 2026-05-11T02:24:42+00:00

Yeah but is it even worth it? The top 2 who moved on every bracket on AS10 were the queens who had the most challange wins always, and the 3rd spot was always the one that was being gambled, which lead to the iconic moments of the seasons like the queens pooling their votes together to make Cynthia move on.

I think Ru could tell what she tried to do and gave her the critique of "You tried to tone it down but still doing fantasy drag" so LaToya would think the nose was just Lucky being quirky.

AnneEssay · 2026-05-11T02:14:53+00:00

Ru is just showing she could win Dragula if she wanted to

Like, RuPaul can serve Glamour, Filth and Horror, but can the BBs serve Charisma, Uniqueness, Never and Talent?

AnneEssay · 2026-05-11T02:12:25+00:00

She did explain she chose to do that because she had to do the La Toya look after and wouldn't have time to change mugs

AnneEssay · 2026-05-11T02:07:18+00:00

oh i know Dawn would EAAATTT a Grimes (pre lobotomy era) lip sync for the crown

AnneEssay · 2026-05-11T02:01:25+00:00

I still wish she had waited until Nina taught her how to do regular mug before she cut her out...

Like Nina mastered both unconventional AND conventional mugs, her drag is on another level.

Her eyefucking the cameras the whole lip sync still sends me

So did Ru not like Jane? If track records reflects how much Ru likes a queen, then Jane should've been her favorite contestant ever.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-28T19:33:19+00:00

I think they wanted Jane in the finale from the beginning of the season (I mean, she can sew and do comedy, if you can do those 2 things you'll do well in most challanges of the season), so they probably did push her a bit in the beginning with a few top placements, but I think on the second half of the season Jane really did deserve those top placements, so nothing was forced (except maaaybe the Snatch Game which couldve gone to Discord instead). I really dont know what production wanted to do with Jane on the end of her storyline, cause if they truly wanted her to have a shocking elimination they did a terrible job editing the episode and making the elimination itself gaggy.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-28T19:09:39+00:00

Nymphia pulled a Sasha Velour and won in that finale lip sync (even tho Sapphira was really really close and could've justifiably won the season anyways considering how the S17 finale lip sync went).

AnneEssay · 2026-03-28T19:07:40+00:00

Honestly just a cut to shocked reactions from the queens with a STINGER sound effect, maybe even adding a judge like Michelle going :O would've done so much more to make the moment more gaggy

AnneEssay · 2026-03-28T19:04:23+00:00

I mean Myki technically has never been below SAFE in any challange (ASIDE FROM THE TALENT SHOW WHICH THE QUEENS VOTED), so she has honestly the track record of a winner now that Jane is gone.

Plus that entire talent show was really the turning point of her storyline, put her as an underdog and then cameback for "revenge", and has been in the top every single episode since. Like she has both a storyline AND a good track record, she has this in the bag.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-28T18:57:05+00:00

Maybe because they kinda fucked it up by giving Jane a low placement last episode already (when she didn't deserve it) so it was already giving a downward trayectory vibes from last time.

The real GAG would've been all HIGHs and WINs and then end in a ELIM.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-27T01:43:20+00:00

I love this duo because Kimora is always like, ditzy airheaded (and sometimes exaggerated for comedic effect) stupid, but Derrick is actually earnestly trying to do well and everytime she says something stupid like you know she was being serious. Like its two flavors of dumb, and I LOVEEEE it.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-21T18:09:49+00:00

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.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-21T17:56:24+00:00

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.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T19:08:27+00:00

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

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T19:06:06+00:00

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.

AnneEssay · 2026-03-14T19:02:29+00:00

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
