My biggest issue with Jorgeous's win was not the outfit itself because it was cute, but it definitely shouldn't have won over Angeria's or Lady Camden's or Willow Pill's. Daya Betty even. There were just way too many looks that were detailed and better than that literal cookie cutter bathing suit.
@Petty Lisa i cant tell if your disagreeing or agreeing but yer Jorgeous outfit was simple compared to Camden’s but it looked better…. It’s a tricky one i see both arguments. Same with Aquaria in the ball she glued a lightnighting bolt to a body suite with a cape…. She still looked the best tho
Honestly, the reason AS2 and AS3 have very few, if any controversial wins, is because they have 2 winners! More reason to go back to that old format. It allowed more queens to get recognized.
I think the Anarstarzia Rockaway puffer and Utica's sleeping bag are tied as the biggest robberies of any design challenges across all seasons and int'l combined. Also both (especially Utica's) would be easily in the top of ALL work room designs made by a queen over all franchises and US versions of the show. Periodt.
As Bob has said, RuPaul wants to SYSTEMATICALLY destroy Jan. “Oh. Jan never won and we’re gonna give her a win? Make her rob a win from an iconic season’s redemption moment.” Jan got what she thought she wanted, so she can’t complain - but the show set it up where her moment was robbing someone else of theirs. Very “Devil Wears Prada” Emily not going to Paris tease.
I think the reason why most people, don’t like the fact that Jorgeous won is, because other queens have been read to filth for making a Bra, Panty and Piece of Fabric combo, yet she was praised and given the win, for a look that would’ve landed someone else in the bottom two, so I personally feel like she should’ve been safe for her presentation, but not any higher as it’s a basic look that anyone could make.
I think Sharonne's talent performance in DR Espana 2 may have been misinterpreted by those unfamiliar with the work of jazz legends Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. She used that puppet because she was doing a vocal impersonation of Armstrong (who was also a genius trumpet player-- hence why the puppet is holding a trumpet!) while performing the song "Summertime". Armstrong co-wrote and co-performed the original version of Summertime with Fitzgerald... whom Sharonne also impersonated. Sharonne won because she did an impersonation -- with unbelievable accuracy -- of a duet with two different singers in one performance, and she did it LIVE
I think the AS2-AS4 format has always been more interesting than the Assassin format... maybe there should be a 3 episode buffer at the beginning of an All-Stars season where no one goes home... but I love the drama of a shock Elimination... there's a great tension with those seasons... Tatianna being robbed twice made her more legendary... Dela sending herself home was iconic... Manila getting the chop made her the ultimate robbed queen...
Problem is when the top 2 both would send the biggest competition home. No chance. And near the end they always went with "if you are not the top all star of this week" you are up for elimination bullshit.
Gia not winning the talent show and not even placing top still hurts my soul. I was mesmerized and i'm not a fan of Gia at all. That was the turning point of absolute riggory for me. I've known the judging is all bullshit ever since. Mamma cannot suspend my disbelief no mo.
The part that confuses me is that Gia would have fit the pattern of having a low placing or "early seasons" queen win the first challenge, something they have done since AS2, with AS4 being the only time they didn't do it. It would have been fine with Gia and Trinity or Mo'Heart and Gia, and because they didn't go that route, we end up with Monique and Trinity lip syncing together twice. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it would have added variety to the lip syncs, since that format tends to repeat pairs of queens frequently. It was just a missed opportunity, and I think it would have increased the tension with Farrah Moan, having Gia's win hang over their comments (and then Gia naturally getting her comeuppance in the third episode).
I definitely think that, now on the RuPaul hosted seasons of Drag Race, the ball winner is being picked based on, the entire presented package of looks, that’s why Gottmik won season 13s ball, because the judges preferred their first two looks over Utica’s.
But if we're looking at the whole package, shouldn't the 3rd look matter still? Utica's 3rd look was the best runway out of all categories that night. Mik's last look wasn't even top worthy. Mik's 1st 2 looks were only 1 place above Utica's, while Utica's last look was like 5 places above Mik's
@@sylvereon Gigi’s part is the most replayed. And the judges did not know that Gigi can do a backflip as she is not a dancer, so that was a surprise factor. It was very unexpected of her as people only looked at her as a fashion skinny white young queen. She looks amazing in that too, even when she was just wearing a super bland outfit.
@@user-kx6fw8ub9g First, she is a dancer, she showed us that in her very first challenge where she danced her ass off in her rap verse. They knew she could dance idk why they tried to convince us she couldn’t. Second both her performance AND runway outfits were super bland, as you said. Sure she looked good but it was just a black bodysuit and a blue bikini. Both Jan and Jaida had better vocals, better outfits, better runways, and Jaida really embodied sexy Madonna. Like she was HOT!
There should definitely be a part 2! The one think is missing from the list is Manila as win in the QNN challenge in S3. That one was controversial in season and was a talking point for the rest of the season.
For me the wins that don't make any godamn sense: • Rebecca's Makeover Win (Poor Shannell!) • Half of Team Shad's Wins (Rujubee at least deserved one or two Wins) • Jorjeous's Design Win (I'm not sold on Camden's Look, I think Willow or Angeria should have won) • Willow's Ball Win (Daya slayed all categories) • Sasha's Ball Win (Again, Mistress was right there) • Camden's Catwalk Music Video Win (Nah! Daya was easily the best one) • Sasha's Interview Win (No! Loosey and Lux were robbed) • Anetra's Rusical Win (Her runway was 😑, Mistress killed the performance and runway) • Aura's Girl Group Win (Half of the people on the cast were better than her)
I feel like people don't really take into account that utica's other two looks weren't as strong so even if she killed it with the bag the other two brought her down
That Gottmik bag look NEVER looked good to me. The way that it literally looks like runners bags strapped to one leg, and the way she couldn’t even really define what she was wearing solidified Uticas robbery
I remember Rupaul’s issue with Utica the entire episode was her not modeling on the runway correctly. Like she kept acting way too goofy. That plus Gottmik having very strong first two looks I think justifies her win of the whole episode…despite Utica’s amazing last look.
I'm shocked Elecktra Bionic on Drag Race Italia winning the entire season over Farida Kant didn't make the list since you mentioned it a lot of times lmao also i would take Jan's win over Trinity in AS6 off the list bc while I'm not the biggest Jan fan, I have to admit they both deserved it equally and I would replace it with Bosco winning over Deja on s14 drag panel episode
The patron question creates two new brilliant videos tho - people who should have been saved/ shouldn't have won bcos of runways. And people who's performence in challenges should have excused their runways (made them win/loose)
I can’t disagree with Gottmik winning because it was the ball challenge. Even if Utica had the best final look, Gottmik had the better overall package I also can’t say I disagree with Jan winning the halftime show. Her and TKB had the best performances of the week, had it been top 2 format? They would be Lipsyncing against each other, but it wasn’t. Between these 2? Jan had the better runway between them, it was the ruffle runway and Jan had that saloon runway. So I see why she won. Plus this was the Rusical of the season, so the storyline played out perfectly. The stars aligned. Not to downplay how good TKB did because she was nipping at the win so closely
Hey Mera! 😊 My name is Dror (pronounced as Drawer - Israeli name), and my husband and I are patrons of yours via his own private account (his name his Jon - pronounced as Yawn - Dutch name). I am writing you here because I was hoping you would send a birthday shout out to him, as his birthday is on June 10th, and I don't want him to know it's coming... We both absolutely adore you, and we don't miss any of your videos. Sometimes you're the literal savior of our sanity in this crazy, f***ed up world. We both love you very very much, and thank you for being who you are! Dror and Jon
People get too crazy about sethlas. She was amazing, but Sharonne gave the best vocals of all time on DR Herstory. And we can't forget that on espanha the runways DO matter a lot more, and sharonne was the best on that runway that night ❤
It still shocks me to this day that nobody comments on how sharonne literally just did a little girls act from America's got talent, same song, split the parts of the song the same way, it baffles me
I would've included the Rajah vs. Scarlet lipsync on season 11. It was controversial during that time and still until this day. For a queen whose dancing skills isn't their strongest, she definitely surprised majority of the RPDR fandom and really showed she wanted to stay in the competition.
Will never understand how Monet won that makeover challenge 😂 however i think if AS6 had the Top 2 format nobody would have been annoyed by Yara’s win in the talent show, it does talent to go on the stage and entertain an audience alone and thats what she did
Has there been a Drag Race Mandela Effect video about facts people remember wrong (like Pandora winning Snatch Game as Carol Channing or Crystal winning that makeover challenge)?
Drag sethlas has an amazing talent but it wasn’t even the best dancing performance of the night 😂 I think everyone needs to rewatch the entire show and put person bias aside.
honestly season 3 of españa is like half way done but there are so many examples of wrong people winning episodes: Pink Chadora for the choreo over Clover, Pink Chadora AGAIN over hornella in snatch game (which as a spanish person i think was so much funnier understanding the references), Pitita in the rusical over vania, bestiah or hornella…. Pitita over pakita in the acting challenge (more controversial i guess but pitita did have some justification to win but i do believe it should have been pakita)
For All Stars 6 you say that Ginger Minj was in the top for the talent show and she wasn't she was safe, the top 3 of the talent show was Rajah O Hara, Pandra Boxx and Yara Sofia
Personally i think that during season 7 with the lip sync for your life between Pearl and Trixíe that Trixie was the clear winner and should have stayed over Pearl. Even if they wanted to keep Pearl for storyline purposes, then it should've been a double save!! All i remember is Pearl doing the Pearl smash thing with her arms!!!! It was hilarious!!!!
I don't know why they always question Gigi at the ball, she presented 3 perfect looks for the category, Jaida in the first 2, they could literally enter many categories especially the second, and her final dress with what we know she can do is not not even good
As6. Ur wrong about the pink table talk. What about bosco, she won, despite her team was weak. And ginger won both snatch game and pink table Fair. And they were judged individually not as a team. This was proven in succesing all stars season like As8. No brainer.
One I'm really surprised didn't get mentioned at all is Bosco winning the drag con panel challenge over Deja. While I thought Bosco was funnier, Deja was a better moderator and was the only person on that whole runway who understood the assignment. Other "honorable mentions": Sasha Colby winning the interview over Luxx and Loosey, Lawrence winning the news improv over Awhora, and honestly Roxxxy's win in episode 1 of season 5 over Lineysha who still gets mentioned for having one of the best design looks of all time. Who even remembers what Roxxxy made?
I think the thing about runway winners is you can have access to great designers and have the money to pay for them but that does not give you taste. Love Mrs Kasha Davis but her Net Gala look is so bad. Like I'm not gonna say her runways are the worst but she better hope UK vs The World Jujubee doesn't die.
Say what you want about Ginger not deserving the table talk win but if she hadn’t then we wouldn't have gotten the Phone lip-sync and that's not a world I want to live in 📱
One that wasn't mentioned is Soa de Muse in the talent show, France episode 1. Don't get me wrong, I love Soa and her talent show was amazing, but to me Lolita Banana had the best talent show of every franchise
What people don't understand about the talent shows is that it is about entertainment. I was entertained by Trinity's and Gia's was not necessarily titillating. It was beautiful but just not as exciting as Trinity's in terms of getting a crowd going.
I still think Mo Heart should have won the S10 design challenge with that card dress and the wig she made out of plastic! SHE WASN’T EVEN IN THE TOP?! Mayhem didn’t have a bad look, but in comparison…
question, the voting for fame games will be at the end, right? once we have a final X tops for the crown. otherwise, the people getting voted since lets say episode two, would have more votes than someone getting eliminated just before the finale.
I don’t even necessarily think Camden was miles ahead of anyone else, it’s just that there’s literally like five other better looks in that cast before Jorgeous
I like idea that the top lip-syncs for the cash prize and the power to save one of the bottoms from elimination. The assassin has the group vote for whom to save. There’d be a bottom three with one save with the last two lip sync for their life.
Valentina should have won for Jury Justice but I feel like they were done with her storyline after episode 2. I didn’t think she was quite bad enough for bottom 2 for that snatch game either
Maybe Jaida's is "balls glued" on a corset and for some reason that criteria the judges use makes no sense. I don't care if it is glued on a corset. Does it look nice? Then you win.
Some controversial and wtf wins for me. - Rita Baga in the Canada 1 premiere, advert and Canada vs The World premiere (should have been Starzy, Jimbo and Ra’Jah instead. Honestly she was very pushed) - Jorgeous in the S14 design challenge (like WTF she shouldn’t have even been in the top that week riggory, should have been Lady Camden’s first win) - Jada Shada Hudson in the Canada 3 lip sync duets challenge (honestly like wtf, Kimmy and LBB both trumped Jada and Irma in the challenge) - Aura Mayari in the S15 girl groups (I mean Sasha Fucking Colby was right there) - Trinity the Tuck in the AS4 talent show (Trinity did… that for the talent show, honestly Gia and Mo should have won) - Sherry Pie in the S12 worlds worst (Ewww…. Jackie or Heidi should have won instead) - Yara Sofia in the AS6 talent show (Ra’Jah O’Hara was right there, also Yara just did tits for a talent show. If I wanted to see tits I would go to a strip club) - Rebecca Glasscock in the S1 makeover (Shannel should have won and Rebecca should have full on been lip syncing)
When you think about it, eves performance in the clown rusical is true and complete clown art. What's an essential part of a clown performance? Something going wrong in a comedic way. The incrediblememt clownery that was performed as revealiana cannot be replicated on the drag race stage
I'm so over people saying Gia was robbed for the talent show. It was beautiful and nice to see a side of Gia we don't otherwise get to see, but it wasn't that impressive
