This is a channel that started out as a simple way for me to talk about things I like, but through different videos became one of the first Drag Race-related channels on RU-vid. Here, you will find videos that talk about the storytelling aspects of Drag Race, that analyse track-records of the contestants, and that talk about the production of the show. If you've ever heard of PPE Scores, giving numerical values to placements and statistically analysing the show, this is where it all started (whether some people want to accept it or not).
I love Angeria, but I can’t help but think maybe the fact that her charity was the National Black Justice Coalition worked in her favor (I’M BLACK OKAY DON’T THROW TOMATOES)
the judging of this episode was so boring i actually skipped the part where they send the queens away and they talk about them between judges only. It was weird how they insisted on the fact that Roxxxy won every lipsync she was in and then lost the last one.
I’m happy you acknowledge that you completely underestimated plastique just because she found success on a dumb brain rot app and made an empire out of it, the comment about her not being able to be in the competition without making a tik tok when that’s just a job to her stuck with me for weeks, when you yourself are a content creator on a niche topic who I hope has skills outside of that
People act like juggling with fake knifes is an insane talent and not something bored teenagers pick up on in a couple weeks, I garante you that Shannel doing something we already knew and have seen her do dressed in the craziest looking Amazon bodysuit had much less behind it and was both less impressive and entertaining then all the work that’s behind plastic’s number. This is no hate for her whatsoever I think she outdid most of the girls and is an insanely talented legend, but I myself wouldn’t be able to justify a top two placement to something that didn’t feel nearly as prepared or thought through then vanjie or plastique.
also regarding that part about her songs sampling foreign songs, well that's essentially the case for all balkan and middle eastern artists lmao, the turks sample the egyptians and serbs sample the turkish then they get sampled by the bulgarians...etc lmao the melodies however tend to originate IN GREECE.
nice video but i didn't like your definition of turbo-folk... that's reductive aff, sonically it's a blend of oriental and balkan folkloric melodies/instrumentals with a bit of western elements added in, the association with drunkness and drugs is weird given that all music can be and is used for those purposes in nightlife circles, it's not limited to turbo-folk
I need the producers to give the queens the twist ahead of time so they can plan their game accordingly. The riggory can be VERY fun, especially if we know the bounds of what can happen instead of insisting on a total surprise gag at the last minute making an ass pull
Angie is one of my all time faves, and I was so so thrilled she won! Her, Plastique and Roxxxy I think performed the strongest all Season, and I honestly would have taken any of them as the final winner. However, I do think that judging was INCREDIBLY unfair. Without bringing my own feelings on who I WANTED to win in to it, I think Plastique and Shannel had by far the best and most unique talent show performances. Plastqiue 1000% deserved her place in that final three. I love Vanjie, but that was a serious shocker for me. I so vehemently disagree with the whole three badges for the finale challenge thing (and all the other badge shennanigans this season)- so I think if we look at the Season as a whole, Roxxxy probably (almost definitely) deserved that win-.But Angie was a close second for me at the very least 😊 In terms of the sheer amount of talent she put on display this Season. I just do not understand why they dont just have a point based system for these none elim seasons. 4 if you are in the top 2, 3 if safe, 2 if low, 1 if bottom, and then the winner of the lip sync gets the full 5. It'd be so so much more fair. Then maybe a extra point or two for mini challenge wins. Thats it. Thats all it needed to be. And I think in that instance Angie, Plastique and Roxxxy are Top 3- and things are a whole heck of a lot more fair. Ergh. You also wouldn't have the Issue of someone like Shannel, who was safe all Season, then had a top/strong few performances later on- feeling for most of the competition super behind, despite actually doing okay!
Like you, I wanted angeria to win but I was sad that it worked out this way, Roxxxy was set up to win. I wonder if the WOW lawsuit had anything to do with Angeria's win? Maybe production thought Roxxxy would get dragged through the mud once more news leaked and decided to crown the unproblematic queen? My personal top two of the talent show were Plastique and Nina West (surprisingly I know). I'm glad Angeria won regardless, she deserved the crown in my eyes because she never had a bad week, unlike Roxxxy (who IMO was on the low end of snatch game).
I didn’t even watch it I didn’t even care SNOOZEFEST thank god we have CVTW2 and GAS1 to make up for this horse shit and Angeria really?! Why god why?!
Can’t wait for the longer vid of all stars 9! Alsooo, I just have a tiny bit of hope that you could make the “How I would’ve judge AS9”. Please, do it for Tammy Brown.
I was honestly loving this season, but the last two episodes sucked so bad. I’m not even one of those “Roxxxy was robbed” people, it just didn’t feel like a true finale
I think non-elimination could work, but the problem is that rpdr as a brand has gotten too concerned with catering to straight/broad appeal audiences, so even if there is any tension, they cut it out. From the All Stars 10 leaks, I hope that season turns out better, and that they wait at least another year for AS11
i’m stopping the video at :59 to point out i think it’s ironic you say that you had a mistreatment of angeria video planned. in my thoughts, i alluded to the fact that part of my frustration with the final choice was that the edit didn’t tell me that at all so im pleasantly surprised to see we interpreted that similarly. can’t wait to hear more thoughts. i only trust u 😂
If the formating and judging weren't so inconsistent and if this wasn't a non elimination season, it could've, I repeat, could've been one of the best seasons of all time
We gonna talk about how the crew from the show ended up suing the show because of the mistreatment from THIS cast? Cause 2/3 of the final 3 were literally claimed to be awful to work with. Can you guess who out of the top 3 was claimed to be an Angel on and off the show? The one who won. We love Angeria, and she deserved to win. A literal saint.
@@bunjijumper5345 William & alaska reiterated that WOW was getting sued (but attempting to settle) by former staff for toxic work environment culture when working on all stars 9, specifying the reason for the lawsuit was in part because of how certain queens treated them. the queens named for mistreatment were gottmik, vanjie and roxxxy specifically. if word got out it would be a brand risk so logistically speaking that could've played a huge part in choosing who to win. look it up, the details are pretty revealing. grain of salt and all that, but it could be a reason. either way, i was rooting for angie the whole season, so im happy.
@@whitegrill8809 I like Angie the best too, but it’s hard to believe the queens would be so nasty to staff, I mean most of the people come from nothing, it’s hard for me to see people treat others like trash! For their sakes, I hope it’s not true. ♥️
@@bunjijumper5345 i do too. but if it is, and theyre trying to settle so it doesnt go into court and become public, if it did get out, someone named in the lawsuit would be a brad risk. and 3 queens were painted as angels, nina, angie, and shannel. everyone else was named in some way and 2/3 were very specific with how they were named apparently, with gottmik, in their mistreatment.
Has roxxy ever lost a lip sync? Alyssa season 5 Tatianna AS2 Miz cracker AS5 It looks like she won all 4 based on the chart for this season, and are there additional wins for the lollaparuza lip sync episode?? That’s wild
Angeria's talent show was not better than Jorgeous' or Plastique's... I was surprised when she was top 2!! This season was not the most boring for me, but there's a lot of things that make no sense at all... It could be one of the best seasons, a lot of fan favorites, but it could be better with the elimination format and not this "for the charity" thing (we all know they were paid) The most exciting parts were the runways...Plastique and Gottmik served us every episode!! :>
Angeria winning isn't the problem. How production created, filmed, and edit the season is. After a drawn out and unnecessary finale first half, we were shown 'snippets' of the final lip sync for the crown. We waited all season for that moment, and all we got was a choppy montage'! It makes me speculate the possibility that Vanjie clearly won that lip-sync, but since there's no way she was going to be crowned they showed us only a quick highlight reel of the three. There was nothing 'great' about this entire season, except for Plastique's looks and Gottmik's as well.Was there a single 'great' lip sync or acting challenge? No. The Russical was very good, but I feel no need to ever re-watch it. The Comedy Roast was well-done, but not brilliant. AS9 felt 'safe.'
Wait i missed how Gottmik is the 'biggest winner of this season' as you said in the end. Is it because he won every badge without any twists from the producers? Bc the same goes for plastique then, right? Or are we counting the lip sync wins too? (Genuine question not trying to be snarky)
