raja earned her crown - and congrats to rupaul for realizing that she needed someone that would make great tv - it's not a coincidence that season 3 is when rpdr really took off ...

Its really funny when people say that Raja was a predetermined winner. Raja had advantages going into the season in that, yes she was friend with RuPaul and Mathieu, and yes she had experience in Reality TV since she worked on ANTM, and yes it was a design focused season, but S3 is by far the most difficult season on Drag Race outside looking in. Raja had extremely strong competitors too: Manila, Alexis Mateo, Yara Sofia, Delta Works, Shangela.

@F4keFelipx 7 месяцев назад

Manila was tough competition. It literally could have gone either way

@ezequielmca4385 2 месяца назад

Shangela was not a strong competitor back then, actually she looked like a homeless with a wig.

@a.b.c.x.y.z.2967 28 дней назад

The fact that she had advantages makes her "win" questionable, even more because of her friendship with Tyra Banks (one of RuPaul's muses) 🙄

Yuhua never auditioned. She wasnt even cast. She just showed up and walked in. Ru saw that hot and flexible body and knew she couldnt let her leave. Legend has it the only reason she was sent home was cause all the other queens said they were gonna quit cause it was unfair to be going against a living legend. Ru and Michelle told her she was the best they've ever seen on the show. Like she had all the best qualities of all the winners wrapped into one. And thats the real tea.

@jonathansallade4954 7 месяцев назад

Met her at a tiny bar that used to be in Pittsburgh. The Queens didn't want a huge bar to hang out in. She was so wonderful and down to earth. Dela Ivy Raja and one other queen were there.

I Love Raja🖤✨ season 3 had so many iconic queens.. Raja, Manila, Delta, Alexis, Yara, Shangela, Stacy, Mariah, India!! Almost all of them have been on All Stars ⭐️ truly iconic season.

@supernovaskies5044 7 месяцев назад

I honestly don’t think Raja was cast to win. I think Raja, Manila, and Yara were all cast to win 😂All I mean is that I think there was more focus on high concept art on Season 3 of Drag Race and they clearly wanted a more conceptual winner ei Raja Yara Sofia and Manila

@user-ke5rt3ji8c 7 месяцев назад

But don’t you think they put manila and yara for raja? Bc if they feature the season as a looks/high concept season then they would cast other high concept queens, not just raja being the only one. and if you compare raja to manila and yara aesthetically and conceptually, raja will take it bc of her looks. I’m not even mad at her or trying to knock her down bc she ate s3 but let’s not be delulu, ru herself called her to do the show 😭 its okay to say the truth that she was favored AND talented af

This totally explains Raja's sort of ambivalent, nonchalant attitude on Season 3, which honestly was so charming and refreshing. She was weird. She walked into the workroom in that dumbass purple one eyed monster outfit. She dropped the floor of the runway and made snow angels. She wasn't trying to win, so why not?
