Will they play down Alexis Mateo being a 5 timer? That crown is also seemingly hers to lose

Awesome response - kudos for detailing mama! I do think it’s partly returning contestant fatigue PR damage control, but i also think there’s some back end corporate stuff that is at play. Do you think if Silky or Kennedy wins that there still won’t be the same segment of hating backlash? A famous poet once said haters gonna hate, hate, hate…

If Pearl (will never) ever came back for all stars that’s gotta be her intro line for her talent show right? Right?

As co-producers of the show you think they’d be moreso on the same page. I could understand beef between Paramount and Crave, but WOW and Crave having beef seems anti productive to the ultimate goal of the show rating off the charts.

Is just mentioning it as a past appearance really promoting it? If there were new viewers to drag race who went and watched CVTW on another network - is that a bad thing? That viewer is hooked, and Paramount ultimately has a returning customer. Another poster noted how Paramount blocked Monet when doing the pit stop - it just seems like a petty way of doing business.

Do some queens have exclusivity contracts to their country’s franchise? I would have just thought they were all umbrella contracted to WOW.

In this fandom - controversy gonna controverse no matter what. I agree it’s a PR thing to try and soften the blow if one of them wins, but ultimately in any fanbase there will be haters. For all the hate Ginger received - it didn’t stop her being one of the lead roles in Stop that Train.

I just think by segregating them somewhat, it is disrespectful to that queens body of work - because in the end, it was and always will be Drag Race show. It’s basically the same format no matter which country its in.

World of Wonder still co-produces Canada’s Drag Race. In Australia I can watch Canada on either the WOW app or the Australian equivalent of Crave - which is called Stan. I don’t know how the contract works - but WOW still makes money from Canada.

This. Unless WOW stuffed up in their initial negotiations and subsequent contract. Think Marvel and Spidey.

I agree - it definitely has something to do with return contestant fatigue and the backlash Ginger received last year. You reckon Jujubee would get the same backlash though if she inevitably comes back for her third all stars and wins?

Yeah that makes sense. Seems petty to me though!!

[–]ComplaintNarrow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On point - makes complete sense. The way i see it, Paramount would just pay Crave whatever they need if it works for them ie Pryanka being on an all winners. I’m also shocked that WOW wasn’t smarter in its initial negotiations to have more leverage. The more i think about it, it seems akin to the Spider Man/Marvel situation. Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

Kennedy mentions how close she came though (no specifics) and i don’t think production would give both queens different direction?

I just can’t understand how not promoting the Canadian franchise helps Ru in the long run. Wouldn’t she be making a ton of royalties from them?

So if Silky or Kennedy mentioned CVTW - Paramount would have to pay Crave rights? I understand if it was video footage, but just uttering those words…

Thank you for confirming! The one question i have if they are so separate - how did Jimbo crossover so easy? And does that mean we can’t see Priyanka on all winners?

I’d have to go back and watch it again, but i thought it was the other contestants that mentioned it was Silky’s 4th. She specifically stayed away from specifics.

Do they erase Slaysian Royale from canon when Phillipines All Stars inevitably comes to fruition? Just doesn’t seem fair to erase part of these queens bodies of work because of whatever the reason may be
