Am I the only one who has trouble connecting with this season??? It seemed very promising in the first episode, but the girls didn't really shine in the challenges. Also, in the past the behind the scenes episodes Untucked where the queens interacted on a personal level with each other was my favorite part of the contest, but in this season the new setting is not conducive to intimacy and confrontation. I'm not interested enough to continue. I am going back to watching season 5, which was one of the best with Jinx and Alaska.

They really need to bring back the Interior Illusions Lounge, like stat. Sick of this whole backstage "bts" bs, I have zero interest in seeing the camera guys and PAs.

Thanks. I wondered if I was the only one who missed the old setup.The photos of Ru on the wall were so old Hollywood. I really believe the right interior decor can facilitate interaction and the wrong space can keep intimacy and confrontation from taking off. Yvie Oddly is very interesting, but I prefer more glamorous queens on the whole. BTW, I have sexual fantasies about Santino.

Best Untuckeds were Season 3 and Season 6 imo. Now it's often just incoherent yelling passing for "drama", as the queens try to somehow stand out against that cavernous nothingness backstage space.

I think the same. The forum website where everyone gets their Drag Race tea and info said that it’s because the production has dropped the ball and now it’s obvious to spot who will be the final four and who are the rest to just be “filler queens” from episode 1. I always said that the best seasons were 1 - 7. After 7 production got lazy and started forming the cast this way. Earlier seasons were too unpredictable as you had queens that were casted as fillers but did so well that they beat their odds and at least made it to final four status.

Definitely think the old set up was better, especially with 2 rooms where inevitably one group is talking as someone overhears from outside the door :emoji_sweat_smile:

Season 6 Untucked was the best not only for personality (Bianca, Laganja) but also because they edited in the slurping sound effects whenever a queen would take a sip. Had me howling!!

I never got in on the Forum because I just started watching sets from the public library just in the past year. I have watched most of them twice. Favorite show EVER!!!! Your critiques are right on, guys! There is no wait list at the library so I may OD on Ru!!!!

Liking Yvie despite her big mouth, Silky seems severely overrated by the judges I never find her funny like they supposedly do, worried the fix is in for "the big girl" to "finally win", I also like Brooke Lynn despite her disastrous Celine Dion. Anyone else have thoughts?

I agree re: silky. Nina should have won Snatch Game. Nina is killing it in regards to characters and humour, whenever she makes that gormless face and has a fully realised character, I’m in stitches. Like when she played Michelle’s long lost daughter I died. DIED.

Yvie I also love. I always love a freak so.... yeah.

Brooke..... Brooke. I’m not clicking. She wowed me with the last runway, that reveal even beats Violets tartan reveal. It blew my mind. But.... no. I’m not connecting, there’s nothing there. And her showmance with Vanjie isn’t giving me life.

I agree about Nina, she's awesome.

Yvie and Scarlet are the best looking out of drag imo.

In terms of who I want to win, I'm a little indifferent. So far I think Akeria is the most well-rounded but she's not getting a winners edit (i.e. she basically has no storyline).

Once again, I agree. It seems Akeria is as underrated as Silky is overrated, imo.

As far as hottest out-of-drag I thought it was Kahanna Montrese by far.

Silky is a just a horrible person! She’s not there to try, she’s there to get her 5 mins so she can charge a higher fee and ride the DR fame in hopes of staying on TV! Her snatch game was horrible! I don’t feel like she should of placed in the top, safe maybe but her TS Madison sucked!t the judges always on about people needing the mannerisms and the voice etc... it was just Silky being silky! I didn’t get Madison at all! and the dollar store 22 inch weave.... girl please! This season honestly feels like it’s focusing more on the bullying! I feel sorry for Plastique opening up the way she has on TV only to have people try to poke holes in her story and then attack her over it! RPDR is getting more and more lackluster the bigger the ratings get!

I forgot about Kahanna actually, definitely hot out of drag too!

I don't dislike Silky, and I can see why she's upset with Yvie (who I find increasingly annoying), but I do find her a little one note. She hasn't really delivered anything other than Silky yet, whereas other queens in the past with big personalities (Monique, Latrice, Bianca etc.) have managed to put different spins on it depending on the challenge. Silky has always just given you Silky. That said, I do think she deserved both of the wins she has.
