    Big fan of Nymphia and I liked Hershii a lot as well and could see her as the narrator of the season. Megami’s drag is great but talent show was the worst. Geneva seems fun, didn’t love the talent but like her personality. I feel like some of the gals from ep 1 were giving me more top 3 energy.

    I wonder if the rate a queen thing will persist beyond eps 1 and 2? It seems like they put a lot of time into the graphics for a one off, but I’m not a big fan of the queens judging themselves.

      . I feel like some of the gals from ep 1 were giving me more top 3 energy.

      I had the same feeling, but the second group’s talent show was generally better I think. Group 1 seems to have better runways.

      Plain Jane clearly embraced her role as villain of the season from the get go. I wonder how’s that going to play out on top of the accusations that have come forth.

          A drag queen called ShowPonii said Plane Jane harassed an audience member in one of her shows, and that was confirmed by Jay Kay (Dragula season 5). The tweets can be seen here

            Oh, I had forgotten that was about a season 16 queen. Wasn’t a video of the incident posted and it was shown that the issue had been overblown?

            Plain Jane reminds me of Fierce. To me it comes off as “I’m gonna say this for drama/camera time,” not necessarily because they felt that way. Let’s see if she can keep it up because drama is always fun

              I haven’t seen the video but ye, reading the description of the events I’m also inclined to think that using the term sexual abuse is a bit of a stretch.

              I do love the drama she’s promising to bring. You’re very right in that she is giving Fiercelicious vibes and I live for that mix of shadyness with delusion.

              I mean, the line: “I was nervous before coming to the werkroom but then I saw you all” or something like that… That’s one iconic line that I’m sure will go down in history as the shadiest one-sentence read ever

      I was already bored of lip-sync to their own original song. For Megami to do a lip-sync of a non-original song. You can do much more even if you have a message

      I hate that rate a queen graphic. Its too much and I hope they get rid of it. I am just waiting for the Official Rate a Queen™ app.
