Hey Matt, thanks for another great video, I really appreciate your research skills. Could you please do a UK accent video? Some of us yanks would appreciate help with pronunciations and regions. That regional knowledge plays such an under appreciated role here in the US. If your from Puerto Rico you won't win, (sorry English Second Language, but as much as Ru loves to laugh at your accents, she is laughing at you, not with you.) Girls from the South are pageant dolls or country, NY queens take themselves very seriously (that rent and competition!!), and west coast girls are the ones who would be fun to hang out with, lol!

From what I remember during the AllStars season with Trinity and Monet, there was a lot of buzz on the internet re: the lack of Queens of Color in the winner's circle at the time. Based on wins throughout the season, Trinity had the better record. However, production knew they'd get roasted if they gave the crown to another white queen. BUT they couldn't just give the win to Monet because her record didn't qualify her for the win. So, the "Tie" was the best compromise they could come up with to satisfy the majority of the fans. Nowadays, production films multiple endings and towards the end of the season, they pick the one that best suits them, based on how the audience is reacting to the episodes.

I don't look at drag race as fake, but only because I don't view it as a true competition. It is an entertainment program. I know it'd called reality tv, but we have all known for years that reality doesn't mean real. I have zero expectation that the show is not produced. The best queen will not always win and the worst will not always go home. They will make whatever outcome they think will create the most entertaining show happen. That's why I think fans need to stop being overly concerned with who actually wins, we should just be happy for all of the queens for being on such a huge platform, regardless of their placement. Don't get me wrong, I always want my favorites to win. I'm just saying a queen winning does not necessarily mean that they are better than others just because they won. It just means that the producers thought that the winner just made for better tv than others for whatever reason.

I've known 4 contestants from 4 different seasons and there's definitely a lot of prompts, notes about 'save it for the camera' and when the cameras aren't rolling, everyone is told to be on 'hard ice' (as in, no talking) and the ones who seem like they hate each other, are actually very good friends during and after production. A show won't be renewed if it has lackluster ratings the closer it gets to a finale. They aren't just looking for talent, they're looking for talented people with stories they can embellish and exploit. It's a bit suspect that Willam had to leave the competition early....being the only SAG member of the cast.

I don't think production knowing during the filming of the crownings who isn't going to win is evidence that the winner is pre chosen, that's literally one of the last things being filmed for the season and the primary reason is to prevent the live audience from spoiling who wins anyway. That doesn't mean production doesn't have queens they prefer and who get a little help along the way but the filmed crownings are a not actually evidence of that, at that point production should know who wins or at least who doesn't have a shot.

They ALL have the potential to be lifetime winners, beyond the show, given the continued "Ru Girl" label they can market, the opps for tours, recording, and public exposure, if they can learn to play nicely and professionally with others, etc. etc. And that's my opinion.

I DEFINITELY think that the acting challenges are fake. 100%. The queens somehow end up with the correct outfits even if they fight over the roles? Weird. Please prove me wrong if you have any other theories. Someone once said that production gave the outfits, but each queen is different and has different measurements. We're never shown the queen making their own outfits. I think roles are pre-given before queens arrive at the workroom and each queen has a role, some the same in case one doesn't make it to that challenge. Also, re: shady editing. Someone once posted a comment on a video that said Gigi Goode's snatch game could've definitely been edited as if she flopped it, but because she was a front runner, they editing it so it looked positive. That really put things into perspective for me.

One thing I’ve always wondered is when the queens are allowed to assign roles to the others. For example in S12 when they did the Madonna Rusical. Can’t remember who but someone who won the mini challenge was allowed to assign the roles amongst the other queens. My theory is that the costume department will have had to make the costumes for each queen in advanced before the role had been “assigned.” For example, Gigi Goode is a tall, slim queen, but Widow Von Du is more of a plus size queen. If she was given Gigi’s role, she wouldn’t have fitted into the costume made for Gigi and vice versa. So maybe it isn’t entirely random, because then the costumes wouldn’t have matched the queens that they had been made for. I know it’s the show’s costumes and not the queen’s own drag, because Sherry Pie wore a costume in that rusical, and Roxxy Andrews had been seen wearing the same one in a different season. Does anyone know anything about this?

I don’t wish ill on anyone. Only truly vile beings with no soul or sensitivity. Like, Sharon Needles. I think the villain edit to PhiPhi isn’t deserved, now that we’ve learned more about Sharon. If anything, PhiPhi’s “shade” to Sharon was deserved. I thought about it… on the subject of the villain edits 06:10 I can safely say that now, ten years later, I agree with all of PhiPhi’s (aka Jeremy Carey’s) choice words to Sharon. And that’s only what producers allowed the public to see! Just look at Sharon’s true self now - showing her vile side, as allegedly she always has, even during season four filming. In my opinion, she could take any and all of the “drama” from Jeremy/PhiPhi. The comments which were served to Sharon on the season (“party city,” or “washed up showgirl”, “I want a cruise!!” etc.) is NOTHING compared to the bullshit Sharon puts out into the world herself. Ya know, stuff she takes ZERO accountability for. And then cries at the interviewers, because she feels her art is misunderstood, but she continues to evade the actual question (will she stop using the N word). Meanwhile, at least Jeremy has absolutely stood by everything he’s said to Sharon. Even though he says they’ve reconciled after the fact. Whatever. We know a majority of the footage doesn’t get aired. Edits and production whittle it down to the actual episode we see. I’m talking about Willam, Latrice and Chad saying how Sharon wouldn’t stop using the N word on set all the time during filming.. calling Latrice, Milan, Dida, and all the black queens the N word and “this one” and “that one”. Maybe that’s a big part of phi phi lashing out too. They just cut it out. So… sorry not sorry. Eye for an eye bitch! Karma may not come as we expect it to, or from whom we think, but it will come.

Also why not just have the show play out as it should and have the drag queen who rightfully deserves to win, actually win? For the most part i feel like all the winners ( maybe besides a select few) did deserve to win, whether they were my top pick or not. So the whole "pre picked winner" thing is just so confusing to me.

Personally I think that Rupaul already has in mind who the winner is going to be. I also think Rupaul knows what will generate buzz whether good or bad . Case in point Season 13. Rupaul knew Kandy making it to the final 2 would cause alot of hype and so that's why that Season went the way it did.

It’s a tv show. Its literally meant to be an edited format, though probs not as bad as Instagram influencers, Twitter porn, KZitem channels… it’s the fucking media. It’s the easiest way to build narratives and manipulate storylines. It. Is. What. It’s. Made. For. Guess what, real life is not unalterated either: conversations with your mates, job interviews, news articles, buying a car, a house, dating… all of those interactions/aspects of life have ideology, power relations, and/or some for of “manipulation” deeply embedded in them. If you want an unalterated version of life, go be an amoeba.

I don't think the lip syncs in the finale episodes should count for nothing, but on the other hand, I definitely don't think they alone should be determinative of who wins (not that they currently are, of course). In other words, if there is a clear frontrunner based on the season so far and yet they don't do as well as the other contestant in their lip sync in the finale, I think it makes sense to advance the "losing" queen provided their performance in the lip sync wasn't terrible.

The time and money and heart the queens put into doing Drag race. They leave their entire life behind. Their families and jobs. If it is true that Rupaul already has a winner picked before the competition even starts, thats messed up.

The thing is, it's not "rigged" because it doesn't have any standards or rules outside of itself. It's not basketball or the Olympics. Winning Drag Race means that the producers & judges (chiefly RuPaul) have decided that you're the winner. That's literally all it means. Does that make it fake? Only when it pretends otherwise -- when it pretends that there is an absolute set of rules, etc. But if they want to pretend something is random when it isn't, or edit something to suggest and idea, or frame something a certain way -- well, that's just the show. It is a highly produced show, which blends the reality of the contestants with the wishes of the production team. Fans would be a lot happier if they accepted that there is no version of RPDR that is "pure" or "unproduced" -- and they probably wouldn' twant to watch it even if it did exist.

I never noticed a "villian" narrative ... I think people should just learn to not say nasty things?? tbh I can't recall anything that was even that nasty?? haven't watched EVERY season tbh I'm a fake fan. so it has to all be personal projection imo

yeah but some of the queens are ‘pushed’ to say those things, for example the Roxxxy Andrew’s line on S5 “seeing you on the bottom 2” that was a response to Jinx asking her what has been her fav moment on the competition, was actually kinda rigged. Roxxxy said that producers told her to say something nasty or juicy, and since she was already so stressed for the competition, she said anything she thought it would be juicy enough for the producers to continue the ‘the villain vs the nice’ storyline

the contract says that queens have to take multiple takes of an argument if produces says it’s necessary for the tv drama so they can edit and take the best parts. btw my english is not the best but I hope the idea of the comment is understandable :)

It's a TELEVISION SHOW, not a life event. Or course it is scripted, of course it is controlled as much as it is needed. Having 0 evidence but I will not be surprised if favoured or required contestants are helped in between filming with song verses or clothes/footwear parts. And you know what - I do not care, I like a good show, even if it is staged at some point.

The biggest proof of the winner being pre picked is Jinkx winning AS7. Don't get me wrong, she's one of my favourite queens and I wanted her to win from the start and she 100% deserved it. But she didn't win any of those lip syncs.

Why y'all so shocked at the riggery? I knew from day one when RuPaul stuck her big dirty fingers in a pot of Vaseline, and smeared that lens generously like her life depended on it, just to make herself look flawless. Meanwhile the contestants all had their mugs zoomed in on via a microscope. That was enough for me to realise that the show was going to be major RIGOR MORRIS girl!
