Are we sure they didn't include the part about Le Fil's pronouns? I have vivid memory of him talking about it in the episode, wasn't it like around the introduction when he did it? Or was that Crave's clip on YT/Untucked? I have yet to see newer seasons of UK and I definitely haven't watched any meet-the-queen this season. Either way - show could have mentioned it more than once. Especially to other contestants, cause I feel like Cheryl out of all the contestants was the one who used the wrong ones in the reunion episode, lol.

Agreed. I really didn't get where Fierce was going w/ her character bc, imo, she seemed to have based it off an AI script of Mother Teresa & didn't understand anything abt her. It reminded me of some of the other worst Snatch game characters like Chichi playing Maya Angelou (tho I ❤️Chichi) . The problem w/doing religious icons is Mother Teresa isn't like other ones, Fierce could have done a generic Pope & then made up the characterization & jokes bc that's frequently done by comics w/there being so much to critique abt the Catholic Church & its' corruption. But I think that level of creativity is beyond Fierce as a performer right now. Mother Teresa, frankly imo, I can't identify anything truly funny abt her, if fact she almost boringly good bc she is 1 of the rare religious figures who actually doesn't have a history of being shady, exploiting people, abusing kids, etc. Honestly, she's prolly the only positive representive the Catholic Church has even had in the last century. And no, I'm not religious, Xtian or Catholic but it's one thing to mock religious figures known as hypocrites, criminals or just bad people & it's another to mock someone who prolly will be canonized as a saint bc they were decent people & while I didn't verify this, I think she was also a Noble Peace prize recipient. I just feel if she really wanted to use she had 2 options, in using a fml character & faith, if sticking to mother Teresa she either needed to base her jokes off the actual events of her life & try making the jokes accessible to the GP & not too "high brow". Or she should have just played a generic religious person bc her character & gestures reminded me more of the elderly Italian & Latina abuelas I grew up around, praying their rosaries. If Fierce needed to follow the golden rule, KISS & prolly would have had a better chance of not being eliminated that episode

Cheryl not getting a win was the most unsatisfying part of the season. I agree her runways weren’t the best but were also giving Kennedy wins with some terrible makeup and hair choices so I don’t understand why they couldn’t just give her a win when she was the best in at least two episodes. That’s the only big disappointment of this season because even though her storyline was doing better than in the other seasons I feel like getting a win would have been the only redemption arc being fulfilled because even though Lemon was the first out on uk vs the world she did very good on her season.

One of my favorite things about this season is the redemption arc of Kennedy Davenport. She was the villain of Season 7, and got a very minor edit on All-Stars 3 that culminated in her getting a Top 2 spot many think wasn’t deserved (and achieved by one of the worst Drag Race twists ever). This season, she was one of the narrators in the confessionals, and seemed to generally be having more fun this time. She did have the one questionable challenge win, but she still seems to be MUCH better regarded this time than her last 2 seasons. And coming from someone who’s seen Kennedy live and met her, I’m VERY happy for her with that.

Yeah, but Ms. Davenport just fell slightly short when it comes to wins and also got unlucky with the rng with the final lipsyncs. Cause she definitely had better chance, if she was in top 2.

It's not het fault and it doesn't take away the work she did on the season, but just like Jimbo on AS8, Shea on AS5, Tia on Ukvstw2 (and potentially Alyssa on Global, being honest), you can clearly tell they were a production favorite before the season even started.

Only the ball is 100% like any other season. The storylines were great, same as the rudemptions. Also I dont think it was that predictable: Eureka in the bottom 2 the first episode and not making it to the finale....was not something I expected. I also didnt expect Cheryl slay that season so hard. I also think everything was really fair.

People said the same thing with season 1. Didn't stop Rajah and Silky destroying that season. Like I feel until Snatch Game Rusical - Kennedy still had a chance, if she won that episode (or at least was High). And let's be honest - she had huge chance to win that episode. She already won SG once and she did amazing with all the dancing. If her jokes didn't fell flat and she was more focused on the lipsync, she could have won the challenge - like we know she is capable of it, as she did all of it before. And that would be enough for judges to pick her over Lemon in top 4 lipsync and she would have better track record than Alexis/Cheryl. This fully was down to the last challenge.

They should just turn the lip sync for the crown into just a Lalapulrooza challenge with a Winner and someone going home and then have a Top 3. The lip sync for the crown format is so dumb and it would make the season longer

The format was great however the beaver requires only 1 winner and 3 bottom placements, and with just 5 competitive episodes it makes a lot of the girls track records tank, by the end only Lemon Kennedy and Cheryl had good track records which feels a lil odd

Fierce kinda pulled a Valentina on AS4 in which they tried to rely too much into a character to make good tv that by the end they realized they shot themselves in the foot and instead of becoming a front runner they became the delusional girl whos gonna get cut before the finale which hey she still got her flowers from her fans for bringing the drama, but ig she sacrificed the change on the crown by doing her character

I think the reason Lemon is considered very rigged for in this season is for a similar reason as DeLa in AS 3 or Alaska in AS 2. It has nothing to do with their own performance, as all 3 of them did well (Though they might have had a bumped up placement in 1 challenge each). The problem is that the challenges themselves were aligned for them to win. It's something I like to call the "TAR 14 Connudrum". In Season 14 of The Amazing Race (Otherwise known as TAR in the community), there was a single team on the cast who spoke Mandarin and lived in China for multiple years. The season was also the first ever season to spend 3 consecutive legs in a country, that country being China. There were also many Mandarin based tasks within these legs that were simple if you know the language but difficult otherwise (Since English is not a tone language and Mandarin is, repetition tasks are hard if you do not have previous exposure to tones). Given the filming and airing of the season (Just after the Beijing Olympics, they literally go to the Bird's Nest), it felt intensely fishy that they conveniently cast 1 team from the country that hosted that year's olympics just happened to get an endgame that was basically a lock for them to make the finals if they made it to top 6, and everyone called it out (Including actual news websites). They didn't do anything wrong, and their placements weren't altered, but the season was set up in such a way that it was clear that they were being favoured despite no actual rigging happening in their placements. If you'd like to read this in more detail, read The TAR Historian blog on Season 14. This same problem comes with Lemon on this season, because all the challenges are conveniently up her alley, except the ball. Ep 1: Girl Groups. She's known for being a good verse writer. Ep 2: Improv Challenge. She won an improv challenge on her first season. Ep 4: Roast Battles. She's known for being a reader. Ep 5: Rusical Snatch Game. She's known at being good for musical performances. Finale: All the songs in the end are songs you can high energy go off on (Even the final one is still higher energy), and we know Lemon prefers higher energy songs. And given the fact that 7/9 queens on this season had been in the bottom for at least one design/ball challenge they competed in and the fact that Lemon also had the most pre-built storylines (Cheryl, Fierce, Tynomi), it seems very set up for her to win from the start, regardless of her actual placements.

honestly for me it would go: 1. Lemon: WIN - HIGH - HIGH - HIGH - WIN - WINNER (stays the same) 2. Cheryl: HIGH - HIGH - BTM2 - WIN - HIGH - RUNNERUP 3/4. Alexis: LOW - SAFE - WIN - LOW - BTM2 - ELIM Kennedy: HIGH - WIN - LOW - HIGH - LOW - ELIM 5. Fierce: SAFE - LOW - HIGH - BTM2 - ELIM (stays the same) 6. Eureka: BTM2 - SAFE - HIGH - ELIM everyone else also stays rhetorically same

Honestly, the only thing I disliked about the season is that Cheryl got shafted by the format of just one winner each episode. She was second best in 4 out of 5 episodes and had this been a top 2 format, she would have had so many wins under her belt, rather than still not having gotten one. However, without this format we wouldn't have gotten the beaver which was so good. I don't understand people saying Lemon was pushed or it was rigged for her. She DEMOLISHED this season with absolutely no pushing or riggory. Outside of then high placement in the ball, she again could legitimately have won 4 of the 5 competitive episodes and was thoroughly deserving of the crown.

Only Lemon fans think this season wasn't rigged. It's the biggest example of riggory ever when it comes to rage race. Change in format. Judging in teams vs individual. Challenges clearly aimed s yeh winners strengths. More talented queens being eliminated and put in the bottom to taint track records. It's borderline disgusting.

I thought this season was so boring compared to CvTW S1, the only interesting cast member for me was Fierce. I was happy to see Le Fil, Tynomi, and Kahena back but they all either flopped or got paid dust in favor of the bigger names. I'm so over queens getting their 3rd and 4th times back- it made sense for the AS1 queens because well...we don't talk about AS1, but now that queens from successful seasons are getting 3rd+ shots I'm kind of over it. I'd rather see some of the lesser known names back like Jaidynn Diore Fierce, Acid Betty, Yuhua, etc.

Idk why everyone’s torn between “Lemon was planned to win from the start” and “Lemon deserved to win and wasn’t favoured” as though both can’t be simultaneously true. She did a great job and earned her crown but they were never going to give it to anyone else regardless, look at this cast and be fr😭 Tynomi and Fierce were there to bring drama and good tv, Le Fil and Cheryl don’t have a big enough fanbase to profit off of, Kahena wasn’t ready for the Allstars stage and the American queens have all been back 3-4 times, are obviously willing to play ball with WoW and would cause total outrage if they won since in the fans eyes they were already given enough chances. This is no hate to these queens, I love this whole cast, but looking at it from production’s POV it’s clear there was only ever one queen who is both profitable and wouldn’t piss off the fanbase. It’s a win-win scenario for them and thankfully it played out in a way where she genuinely deserved her crowning and wasn’t blatantly saved over and over

Episode one was judged in groups to allow a Canadian win and stop a Canadian going home first again. The clear top 2 taking into account performance and runway were Le Fil and Alexis. The bottom two were Tynomi and Fierce. But they called Lemons team the top to give lemon the win, and Le Fils team safe to avoid the Canadians being bottom at all and cause they couldn't get away with Le Fil ending bottom when she did the best. Alexis was thrown to the wolves...what better TV than one of the big names and favourites being bottom straight away. And I actually felt La Kahena did that specific song better than Eureka. All massively rigged. And that's what set the season off on a 'it's rigged' foot.
