I think the entire franchise is so tedious and repetitive is needs to go on hiatus - maybe permanently. It’s been rinsed to death. So many seasons, spin offs, overseas versions… it’s just boring now.RPDR in general has gone SHITE.
Like, I used to be so die hard that years ago I'd watch the new episode before I'd go to work in the morning! Now, I couldn't be arsed.
Season 14 is diabolical. Same stories year after year - my Dad hated me, I was bullied, I'm trans - it's literally the same stories, the same challenges, the same lip syncs, the same scripted dramas. It's awful.
Needs a MAJOR shake up. Only decent franchise is UK and that's only because it's still fresh and the queens have wit and comedy - Ru won't be too long fucking that up too though.
Whilst I get what you’re saying, the stories for the queens are going to be the same/similar because unfortunately that is so common for the LGBTQ+ community. But I agree the challenges and lip syncs need a bit shake up.RPDR in general has gone SHITE.

Spotify leaked the winner hours before the episode aired tooMo put a congratulations post on twitter and revealed the winner 10 minutes before the show ended
That’s interesting. I wonder why? Presumably an arse to everyone when the cameras weren’t rolling?I really wish they did reunions for the UK seasons. There seems to be a lot of animosity towards Jimbo from the rest of the cast, including Juju who’s generally civil with everyone
I just think it's sooo rehearsed though.Whilst I get what you’re saying, the stories for the queens are going to be the same/similar because unfortunately that is so common for the LGBTQ+ community. But I agree the challenges and lip syncs need a bit shake up.
It's gonna be the next MUCH BETTA, isn't itThat Oh Mummy thing is grating as fuck
I felt the same watching DR Spain. Let the queens chat amongst themselves and stories will naturally come out. On US, you've got the crew sticking a camera in their faces being like "OK, it's your turn this week, now discuss your childhood"I just think it's sooo rehearsed though.
"So tell me about your alcoholism?"
"What was it like growing up in your small town?"
Nothing is natural. It feels like now, they're literally reading from a script. Seasons 1-6/7(ish) - these were amazing seasons because they were so raw and unedited. They let what was happening - happen!
If you look at Drag Race Italia - it was an amazing season because it was so unedited. Even in terms of camera angles, it was brilliant. Proper reality TV.
Drag Race US is AWFUL now. I'm convinced each day of filming the crew tell the cast what the narrative will be and to stick to it.
Absolutely agree with the DR Spain and Italia comments. Both of the shows felt more natural, added to that the hosts made the shows about the queens and not themselves. Loved them both.It's gonna be the next MUCH BETTA, isn't it

Pangina is just levels above any of them, and I include Ru in that.
You are totally right BTW. S2 was so good but it had queens from all over the UKThe theory is that Kitty Scott Claus didn't win because UK Series 3 cos they said that they'd had a happy childhood with a supportive family
The spoilers for UK Series 4 are saying that it's mostly London queens. I don't think the producers realise that that's a bit of a turn off for those of us not in London.
I think that's why series 2 was so good - a good range of Queens from all over the UK.
And is this where we talk about the prize!!! 30 seconds on a Ru Paul song - with no video. I really really hope Blu felt it was worth it!!!
