I think drag race should pay queens a sign on bonus. Coz drag race has gotten so pointlessly expensive.
Yes!!!! Instead of price money (for challenges), give them preparation money!! With all the exposure they're getting from the show, they'll make money afterwards anyways.
Then again, the UK version doesn't reward any money, so i guess this doesn't work here
idk if this is true but apprently for drag race UK, BBC gives them £500 when they get accepted to help expenses and such
@@davidmorris8319 Pretty sure the queens for non-US seasons get a budget before the show to prepare.
Especially in the UK. They don't even win a prize, it's exploitation.
@@artlate1867 Even if true, that's like 2 gowns, maybe 3 if you're making them yourself.
Veronica is spot on with her comment about the financial elitism embedded within the framework of current drag race seasons. If queens win points for wearing garments they didn’t construct nor conceptualise then they’re only being rewarded for having money! Three episodes into season three and I’m disappointed at all the look based challenges, that’s not what British Drag is all about- give us more acting and comedy assignments so the strengths of our queens can shine through!
I agree with some of this but at the same time Asttina won with an ASOS jacket last season. I think it's more about taste and presentation and less about money, Bimini served looks left and right in season 2 and I doubt she was one of the queens with a massive budget.
@@claudiadelgadom I agree, there is more leniency for costume in the UK seasons, considering Symone’s(USA season 13 winner) only strength was her runway looks that had all been made for her. But because UK queens don’t win any prize money, pre-bought costumes should be critiqued far less harshly. And season three is already a far more appearance based than the previous two seasons.
@@anniem251 don't bring symone into this girl, she won only 1 challenge related to fashion, all her other wins comes from acting, performing and comedy challenges, she's a versatile queen babe, don't discredit her like that
I always thought Drag Race UK should have a talent show in the normal season and not just the All Stars. UK Drag isn't the same as US Drag and the challenges shouldn't be the same.
RaJah spent $900 for AS6. So I’m not sure about this.
“You don’t need money to drag, but you do need money to do Drag Race”
EXACTLY.
It is so hypocritical of the judges to say the queens don’t need money to win. As if the judges don’t have stylists, makeup artists & surgeons providing them with thousand dollar looks for the show!!!
I’d like to see the judges slash their own budgets and still say “you don’t need money to do Drag Race”.
100% true. It feels like RuPaul has forgotten where she came from, all the fracking money getting to her head.
So don’t go on if you can’t afford it
@sacre Don’t break the bank to cross dress
Yes so hypocritical
Yvie Oddly never wore anything expensive and won. Jaida made the majority of her costumes and won. Rajah O’Hara was in the top four of ALL STARS on a $600 budget, a show which is often even more focused on expensive looks than the parent show. It is wholly possible to do well on and even win Drag Race without a ton of money spent if your ideas are creative and/or you have good sewing skills.
Veronica did have a disadvantage considering the quick turn around between seasons 2 and 3, as well as her mental health and financial issues, but the narrative that one simply cannot do well on the show without going $25,000 into debt doesn’t always apply.
Can we all applaud TK for just being a good listener. Something most interviewers aren’t. TIA for ALL STARS. ❤️
Forget All Stars, just give Tia their own show.
@@shortangel333 agreed.
@@shortangel333 very that. She needs one and all the success
@@agni_oh I mean the prize of UK3 is the queens very own Web-series shot in LA so I mean... whats stopping Veronica from doing her own web series?
Tia is a legend, so sweet ♥️
And then we had Ru storming over Joe Black about that H&M dress... she's so disconnect from reality. Veronica and Elle Diamond were really vocal about the financial struggles these queen face to even participate in Drag Race.
Love both Tia and Veronica.
Ru also grew up poor and started doing drag, because he didn't have a dime. Rupaul also said that if Joe bought it from H&M she should've made sure it looked good or something. Also the standard of drag is so high today and she cannot afford to see people dress like that anymore. I mean like compare the standard of drag from Season 13 US to Season 2 UK. There is a vast difference
@@cleodiamond7569 And even though the S13 queen ((majority of them) had a greater budget the UK2 was waaaaaaay more entertaining to watch.
That's the point of Monique in S10 too... even she had the personality and the performances to backup, very often some bottom ties are break by the runway look... then queen with more money can escape from the elimination more easily.
Not to defend the whole H&M outburst because that was out of line, Michelle kind of cleared that up a lil bit. The problem wasnt that it was from H&M, it was that it looked off the rack and Joe didn't really do anything to it. Michelle said its not about where the cloths come from its about styling and altering it to show your drag persona and who you are. So I understand it from that point but Ru screaming was ridiculous but made good tv and thats 1 thing Ru's good at.
@@Wicca_P the outburst if I can use the words of the great Asttina Mandela... "Rude". :)
I do think that Joe elimination that episode was fair and square. The look was on brand for her, but it was not cohesive with her team mates at all. The performance itself lacked energy... and she was the returning queen, so go big or go home. The delivery of the critiques was just far too much. The only time i got that uncomfortable watching drag race was in the Adore talent's show critiques.
@@cleodiamond7569 thats the problem tho, there shouldnt even be a 'standard' of drag. drag is about your own creativity, uniqueness, not the money, brands, or enormous looks.
That curly wig is one of the best in existence
It frames her face very well
she looks like she’s about to out on leg warmers and a high-cut leotard and film an 80s workout tape, ICONIC
Ikr. She looks so beautiful
Especially in comparison with Tia's wig in this video 💅 Choices 😂
@@antoineleclerc5638 what’s wrong with Tia’s wig? I think she looks fine lol
Drag race has lost its way and its core foundation. Drag is not about designers, money or elitism, drag is about creativity, fun and escapism. The show has transformed into Ru Paul’s cash race, targeting a mainstream audience to the detriment of true drag.
a rising tide lifts all boats. Girls from the scene are getting in adverts, theatre shows, just because drag race has stoked a mainstream interest and garnered the attention the entertainment industry
Welcome to Capitalism
Well drag race is a competition though. If you just want to be happy and content than do your drag and have your fun. No harm no foul
Her outfits were still bad tho
@@kitoera you missed the point. The best drag queens design and make their own outfits. Drag race is how much money you've got to have all your outfits designed, think Gotmk. Drag is not about designers and money, never has been. Ru Paul is turning it into a spectacle for the str8 audience.
I think Veronica and Tia may be those queens like Trixie and Katya, who didnt win their seasons but go on to be wildly successful. They are pretty well loved by fans, are talented and driven. I hope we see a lot more from them.
Veronica was kind of getting some hate from the fans (for being basic... it's so infuriating I know) but after last episode, everybody was actually sad for her and wanted her to stay longer. I'm happy the show at least gave her a good edit at the end and I hope that both become the new Trixie and Katya as you say.
@Sebastián Baeza YEAH! I was so worried they were gonn portray her as petty or something like that.
And just like Ginger, Thorgy can be Tia's BFF
jk kimora
I hope so too.
I feel like if drag race is gonna continue to put so much emphasis on the runways they should give the queens a budget for looks before the season so everyone can come in at a more equal level 🤷🤷
That's such a good idea! I agree x
Lots of love for both Veronica and Miss Tia. I think it's important to talk about depression and financial difficulty - something so many face with the ups and downs of life. It's incredibly hard to not have any money - and terrifying, discouraging, and embarrassing. But it's important to point out these things can happen to the best of people despite our best efforts. Veronica's resilience and courage are more than admirable. And of course, Tia is one of the most engaging RPDRUK participants - period.
Veronica is such a sweetheart. It seems Drag Race should have kept her at least a bit longer considering the massive expenditure they demanded of her during these trying times. She demonstrated her talent on her first season, so they knew what she had in her.
I agree 100%, and was completely shocked that she went home. Was she the worse this week, yes and was she the best at the lip sink, no but plenty of time the person who did the worse has won the lip sink just because of what they have to offer. Also Vanity was safe week one, and btm two twice, she probably won’t stick around much longer, where as we know Veronica is a damn good performer and almost won the week before. I think the only reason they eliminated her then, is because they knew it would be a shock and we would be talking about it or they are planing on bringing her back, and wanted the gag of her being eliminated. Which is still shady.
@@dontstopmeow5757 Actually Vanity will ..make uhm nevermind.
@@dontstopmeow5757 I think 2 things are about to happen and they have to do with either a double sashay, or Victoria's coming back? Ru gave that hint about us not seeing the last of her.
I thought they were going to do a double stay since two queens left last episode . She definitely deserved to stay a little longer.
This felt like an important and touching conversation that should be had more, more of this angle please
I am still amazed how Veronica transforms from a nerdy guy to a gorgeous woman through drag. Kudos to her honesty. I wish she could've gone further.
Wow. Veronica Green, I admire your honesty about your struggles. It's something I can relate to, which in turn makes me feel less alone x
love your pfp!! i see that red wig and silver dress🤭
@@merrymermaid haha yeah, we've been friends quite a while!
@@merrymermaid PLSSS
"oh well what have you done? you've done nothing" "yeah. because I was depressed [and broke]" ooofft, I feel this HARD. So much respect for Veronica for speaking up about it ❤️
Veronica was being very kind with her statement about DR "skewing towards elitism." It's been elitist for a while. When Michelle tells queens like Chi Chi or Monique that it doesn't matter how much money they have. Like sure they agreed to come onto the show, and you have queens like Yvie and Ra'jah who've proved you can make it far while w/o spending thousands, but the money that the show essentially requires these ppl to spend is getting to scary levels.
Remember what they did to Willam?! Had him spend thousands to prepare for all stars and had him canceling his gigs.. then cancelled on him last minute.
I think what needs to be acknowledged as well though when people bring up Ra'jah as an argument for queens not needing to spend thousands on designers.... that's because Ra'jah IS the designer, she's obviously not gonna pay herself. She's clearly at a sewing level above the average queen, so holding other queens to her standard is kind of unfair?
veronica spoke really well about the topic of rupaul’s class race and how it is becoming a seriously issue in the show
How beuatiful they look. Im so proud of Veronica speaking about mental health And having problems with money.
How mature she is
I honestly can’t explain how much I support these two queens. This interview was brilliant. It was a real conversation between two human beings who actually understand each other. Not trashing other queens - even when said people are comfortable treating others like shit. Tia & Veronica are class acts 👑👑
I was really sad when Tia went in her season and equally sad when Veronica went last week. Last year was horrible and my heart goes out to Veronica. She and Tia were my favourites last year. As for Ahorra, she needs to grow up and stop being spiteful. It's not a personality as one of the other Queens said.
Steve didn't "have to" support you, he chose to because he loves you ❤ I get down on myself for relying on my husband too, but he always reminds me that we're in this together, and everything we have we've worked for together ❤
I miss old DragRace when queens had to design garments in the show and not just wear expensive stuff they bring…
btw this is a part of why I LOVED Ra'jah on AS6 so much - I would have never thought it possible for a queen today to almost win while spending so little and making every single outfit. MAD respect for Ra'jah.
I always think about that comment Michelle gave to Chi Chi, when Chi Chi tried to explain, she doesn't have the money to look like the other queens and had to make everything from scratch. Michelle said "you don't have to have money to be successful in your career". I mean she is right in some points. Yeah, fortune doesn't buy you personality or talent or whatsoever, but the main problem is that the show leads to the point, that however you did on the maxi challenges...the runways are higher rewarded. Some queens, who did poorly in challenges, could get a safe by doing a great runway.
And here is the problem: Neither everyone is a sewer nor a designer. Some of them have ideas, but the designer and a whole team of artist go into the runways. And that costs a lot of money. Gottmik for example had, for my opinion, the best and wellthought runways...she looked incredible and made it far in the competition. But I'm sure, he must've paid like over 100k to look like that...so what's the point anyway?
However they can learn to sew. I learned to sew from my mum. I was lucky as she thought all kids should learn basic life skills and sewing was one of them, I was the only boy in my year in secondary school who admitted they could sew and so I was called on to repair split pants on more than one occasion. You don't need to be a designer for outfits in the show, there are things called showing patterns that you can buy or get for free in this day and age. You can then adapt them for your body, even making a custom mannequin is relatively cheep nower days. Lordy you can even buy a basic sewing machine cheaply nowerdays with stores like Aldi having them as special buys on occassion.
@@Dermacrosis not this. I sew myself, I have a machine, needles thread fabric etc. you still need money for these things. Fabric costs lots of money at times. Sure you can be thrifty but that costs money too. When Chi Chi and Veronica said they were poor they meant POOR poor. Maybe you can get a $5 outfit and spruce it up but that’s still money that you don’t have when you’re already starving and behind on your bills.
@@meandsambffl That depends on where you are and in the UK we have a number of haberdashers that have clearance areas and end of roll ones too meaning the fabric is cheap compared to buying it by the meter. However this is about reusing things and so the original cost is irrelevant.
Yeah it’s definitely time for Ru to get new judges because Michelle & Ross are terrible
Gottmik did not spend that much on her drag
Awhora is just projecting her problems on Veronica because she literally is just a genuine person. I like both queens but awhora needs to grow up and stop being a bully
Veronicas comments about trying to please people and upsetting others are the cost of that is so so true. And very well said 👏
I think Ru Paul and the producers flat out do not understand British drag.
The challenges are just Cringey and even degrading. There aren’t enough opportunities in the challenges to make these girls shine.
It’s another “Attack of the Ugly American,” where we try to impose American culture on the rest of the world as the only culture that matters.
I hated seeing it when I was a teen from East Central Illinois living in Brussels and I hate it now, almost 30 years later. One of the things I valued the most was experiencing what it was like to live in Brussels as opposed to the American enclaves like Waterloo and Overijs. If we wanted to live in an American-like suburb, we wouldn’t have gone to Europe in the first place.
Yet I digress…
I wish that Americans would respect that we are just one culture out of many, and it’s more important to learn that, enjoy the experiences of being in those different cultures and respect the differences.
One size NEVER fits all.
Drag race has really been a bumpy ride for Veronica, I hope she gets a chance on All Stars UK or All Stars International
Love these two you can tell their so close too hope these two do international all stars!
Tia is another excellent example that you do not have to win RPDR to be really successful! All the best to you, Tia! Well done!
i think the queens should be payed a little in advanced so they have the money to buy costumes and wigs cause veronica went from season 2 to filming season 3 straight away. like imagine that being depressed and going on tv to be judged by thousands. i actucally love veronice i just want to give her a hug
So I was shocked to learn they earn almost next to nothing for actually filming the seasons
Me too, Veronica is such a sweetheart and I had her down to win S2 before she had to withdraw, so I was glad to see her in S3.
It’s not just the fandom, when a millionaire relying on royalties, shows, and fracking publicly shames queens for not having upgraded to high-fashion and expensiveness during a pandemic that left them penniless and depressed, it’s hard for the narrative to shift into just charisma uniqueness nerve and talent.
you need to settle
@@BilliePosters Ru needs to settle and he needs to humble himself a little. He also came from nothing and struggled for a long time but it seems that he's completely lost sight of that to the point where he can no longer empathise with another queen's struggles.
@@BilliePosters you’re right, it’s a long comment, clearly you can’t process more than two words
@@BilliePosters You need to learn to read properly.
FUCKING PREACH!!! I HAVE GOTTEN INTO ARGUEMENTS ABOUT THE FRACKING AND PEOPLE JUST CLAPPED BACK AT ME AND SAID I WAS JUST MAD THAT A BLACK HOMOSEXUAL MALE WAS FAMOUS... LIKE HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. SHE'S A MESS. I ALSO GET A HUGE VIBE OF JEALOUSY. SHE ACTS LIKE SHE LOVES THE QUEENS BUT AFTER MANY COMMENTS YOU CAN TELL SHE MISSES BEING YOUNG AND IN HER PRIME AND SHE THINKS SHE'S #1. LIKE A BOOMER WHINING ABOUT THEIR GRANDCHILDEREN GETTING A PARTICIPATION AWARD.
Thank you for bringing up the strong working class background of drag in the UK, i feel like ru is trying to ignore that factor
I think in general, the average American is not as class conscious as UK. Looking rich is just as valid as being rich, which has a way of ignoring systemic imbalances in power. If you can point to one person that achieved the “American dream”, then you can condemn 100 others who didn’t “work hard enough”. As a Canadian watching an American essentially define drag world wide, we begin to see some of the idiosyncrasies between the westernized cultures
UK drag, like so many iterations of drag, is not polished, working class and subversive. Drag Race has upended the art into something poshy, safe, uncomplicated. Even grannies can safely engaged in the fandom.
Such a well articulated point about financing drag race and elitism 👏
That’s what I’m saying?! If Victoria Scone HAD to leave, why eliminate anyone that episode?!
Because production saw an opportunity to structure the eliminations for the rest of the season to be what they consider “gagworthy” aka making room for a double stay or a return or whatever they feel like. They have to take into account however many episodes they had purchased for the season and work from there.
@@meandsambffl Elektra Fence literally turned the lipsync so gag-worthy that even Michelle got impressed and Elektra sashayed away...
Turns out it was answered in the next episode… no spoilers but imo that production decision is such a mistake
@@macaoron really is a mistake. Neither of them were particularly good. Definitely shouldn’t have turned into what it did 🤷♀️
@@istymix she was gagged on what elektra was doing it was so off putting.
Omg Tia chatting with Kylie Minogue so iconic ...
Totally love Veronica and Tia 💕
I'm not gonna lie, these post-season 3 interviews she's done has changed my perception of her a lot. In a good way. She is really well spoken and the way she addressed the lip sync results // mental health was really nice.
I have a whole another level of respect for Veronica after this, she is so right about what the show has become and I'm glad she is being r sincere and open about the fans expectations of "glow up" vs her reality.
I’m glad Veronica was honest about her opinion on the lipsync. She should have won tbh.
Agreed
Vanity is a better lipsyncer, she has rhythm
@@rohan5302 but was getting the words wrong..
Oh my days!!! Veronica you totally should have had at least a double stay! Absolutely gutted you were eliminated so early on, you deserved so much more! I’ll always be a huge fan of you and your drag. I’ve been a fan of yours since before you did All Together Now, you’ve got an amazing career ahead of you! I can easily see you in movies and musicals very soon! xox
Casting Drag Race a lot further in advance would also help. Let people get time to scrounge looks together; whether they make them, borrow them, or buy them. I mean, some of the crafting looks made of hot glue and desperation look fab even against bought looks.
THISSSSSSSSSS ^^^^^^^^
Love this interview! Even if you dont spend £££$$$ on your looks and sew all your looks, that requires so much time and even material costs, that most Queens can't afford that either. I've seen people saying, look at Rajah Ohara, she only spend $600 on her AS looks, but that doesnt include all the time she's spent becoming the show stopping seamstress she is and the time it took her to make those outfits! even having free time is a luxury
anyway love these two so much, my faves from S2 !
Also, Ra'Jah is 1 QUEEN from Drag Race...what about the 10s of other Drag Race Queens who have spent much more! 💃
Also Rajah for AS6 had stability. Some people don't know if they are going to be able to pay rent so taking time to prepare for Drag Race is just not possible. Taking the time to sew a costume means not working while making it, means taking a night in to sew instead of going to perform, earning tips or getting booked.
@@samsamtherising yeah exactly. i guess some people bring it up (not in reference to veronica, but in general to drag race not needing to be expensive) to prove that it can be done, which it can, but its not as straightforward as "dont spend money, do it all yourself!"
@@BlinkoutIRL EXACTLY! having free time to do this stuff is a luxury!
And also, sewing is not gonna be everyone's strong point, yes both Ra'Jah and Veronica are great seamstresses, but that doesn't mean every single queen is a skilled seamstress, of course you can learn, but obviously it comes easier to some queens
"I can do pretty", girl, we know, you're literally sitting there looking like a clone of Jennifer Grey circa Dirty Dancing. Gorgina. 😘
Really sad she left, she had so much more to show! Stay Positive!
It's Drag Race, not Monopoly. So annoying when the judges call out "cheap" looks and expecting them to shell out enough for designer wear. RuPaul has no business yelling at the queens for wearing off the rack clothing as if he's not had to wear fast fashion when he was starting out. If the outfit looks cheap, who cares! As long as they sell it like its Mugler or Versace, it shouldn't matter. If the judging panel was made up of actual drag queens, we'd be watching a different show.
@Sebastián Baeza wait which front runner is racist?
I'm so so glad Veronica spoke her mind with honesty and vulnerability! What she said is extremely important... Mental health and money issues are, unfortunately, a "weird" subject. It was refreshing to hear someone, especially a Drag Race queen, talk about where the show is going and what the fandom expects! Much love to her and her fiancé ❤️
Veronica you are truly an amazing human being! I am so captivated when you talk about drag and life in general. I have suffered from deep depression and at the same time time being very poor (all good now though). How you did Drag race UK in spite of those obstacles is amazing, I really hope you feel proud and recognise your achievement. RuPaul's Drag Race is definitely elitist, the stakes are getting higher as the years role on and the attempt to gag the audience on the runway is becoming boring in itself. The entertainment factor is everything and gives longevity to Drag Queens!
The strange thing is now performing in little pubs/clubs is seen as a bad thing. That is how you build your name not from a short lived spot in the limelight due to a TV show. People don't know or if of my gen forget, that it takes time to build up a name and a reputation. I have worked in bars since I was 16, you only have to be 18 to buy alcohol not to serve it, and I get a job in one pub where a drag queen was the compare on the big nights, it took him over a decade to get there and he did not forget it and he helped newer drag queens too as he didn't take them as a threat to him. It is shame nowadays it seems to be the opposite case.
What is it with people thinking that they need to be instantly famous? It says more about them than they would like.
Where did she say that she wants to be instantly famous? but that is the next step
@@dennisvillaflor3359 Where did I say that? That is a genuine question as that is not what I meant and so I will correct my self.
I was talking about the way things seem to be now in the area of being instatnly famour, or going viral, instead of actually putting in the hours and earning yourself a real name.
This is not an interview. This is a conversation between two good friends ❤️❤️❤️💪🏽🙏🏽👼🥂
The spoiler was tacky AF, true colours out AGAIN ! Don’t send hate to any queen, but you can sure as heck lose respect in them and future gigs.
veronica speaks so well, i love to see her talk
How am I only discovering this series now? Lemme watch the other interviews!
This interview made me really respect Veronica. So intelligent and down to earth. Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable, Ms. Green. You're a treasure.
Veronica Green is so well spoken and very intelligent when she speaks. She is very honest on what happened and not talking bullshit like awhora did.
Thanks for being so honest and open Veronica! This is just the beginning for you💚 can’t wait to see what you do in the future!
Brilliant interview. Should never have been sent home. We can already see that season 3 is all about who does the best runway(even if they are sh*t at everything else). Will watch tonight to see how it goew,but this is nowhere near as good a season as the first two.
V.G makes alot of sense. RPDR should be about talent not how much someone can spend prior to the show. It becomes uneven when they are judged on appearances, yet one queen can afford expensive and one can't.
I love the Tia and Veronica friendship. I think they get along so well because they both seem like genuine, kind-hearted people first, and drag queens second.
Yaaasss Vee! thank you for your honesty, You’ve brought me to tears. The struggle is real x
The financial part of drag race also pevents more bipoc queens from auditioning which contributes to the lack of diversity & racism problem on the show.
I’m glad the uk queens talk more about the cost of drag than the USA queens because finances really matter
Veronica looks like that rich woman in movies who gives good advice and is always holding a glass of wine. Pure class
Bravo Veronica!! Everything about elitism in DR.. very well said .. Viva H&M !
A lovely, honest and respectful interview. It would have been nice if Ru had used the doubly shantay, considering everything Veronica has gone through and the fact it was her first low placement. I'm sure Veronica is going to go on to do great things though.
Loving all this extra Tia content we're getting too. You don't have to win a crown to be a winner.
Sorry to hear you had an awful time during lock down as well tia x
I absolutely loved this…. May just be my favourite interview yet! So chilled, relaxed, funny, open and raw! These two are two very classy individuals and it shows! They’re already superstars and the show and their opportunities post the show has only gone on to highlight that, I can’t wait to see more from both of them. I’ve loved each interview Tia has done has been slightly different In how the interaction plays out but most importantly each queen was allowed to state their experience and having been there and done it Tia has the empathy and sympathy to listen and handle each question with grace. Ronnie you’ve handled the whole situation with Awhora incredibly and it’s so refreshing to hear someone say I’m just not in that place to want to be able to address it rn. Rather than fake forgiveness. It was also refreshing to have the mental health aspect of pre and post the pandemic and financial impact of the show highlighted, Ik there’s been a couple of other instances where queens have brought this up but this has been another level. One day at a time but I’m glad your in a much better place and i hope you’ve both gotten half the love back that you’ve given. ❤️
Give every Queen a set budget of £20k.
And while you're at it, pay them more for appearing on the show!
Such a close lip sync but I feel like Veronica was really GIVING the song. Should have been at least a double save! Both V and Tia lookin gorj x
Unpopular opinion: I liked Tia's ice cream cone look. The glitter cherry and make-up were so cute!
Me too!
@@Rashy225 TASTE
It sounds like you liked it from the neck up 😭
Maybe if she comes back she can do a “redemption” look for it. I also liked the green look on episode 3.
her makeup was PERFECT in that runway. the little white freckles and sparkles!!!!!! one of my favourite looks ever ngl, love her
This was a wonderful interview. I’m glad Tia scrapped the pre-prepared questions and had an honest conversation with her friend.
But also give them a talk show this was very calming
She may not have one, but she won the crowd for sure
I wasn't sure how I felt about Veronica based on the show and other things I've seen of her but she spoke so clearly and honestly. Got a lot more admiration for her after this
🥺 I love Veronica so much. She’ll always be a star and a winner in my heart . What a wonderful beautiful little human ❤️ and so so so much love for Tia she’s also such a genuinely beautiful human inside and out so much love for both of them ❤️❤️
Attitude made the best decision to choose Tia Kofi as the host. Love to see her growth ❤️
I think Vanity and Veronica's lip sync is more deserving of a double shantay than Charity and Scarlett's. Scarlett messing the Slice girls group performance is unfair to the other members 😔
I think they should start a new policy in Drag Race, where the queens all get the same amount of money to buy their looks and they have to show receipts. Particularly the America series is just becoming like the Met Gala were certain queens are basically sponsored by a designer.
I was fully expecting a double shantay this episode, was so disappointed ru didn't let Veronica stay❤️
Wow this is much more heavier than I expected…
Love this tea time with tia and Veronica as if they are like bff have a good banter here and for the leotard one she is more like Keith from the try guys than an angelic look 😂🤣
Yes!
My two favourite season two Queens - could care less if they won or not, they are both so fierce in their own ways. Thrilled that they are loving, supportive BFF’s in real life. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
This sandy look is so good AAAAH the hair is beautiful 💖💖💖
"Ok, Victoria S'gone.” 🤣
Awww I wanna give Veronica a big cuddle, I’d help and support her if she’s ever struggles again. Xx
The most heartbreaking elimination of this season so far. I'm shocked they didn't use the Double Shantay for her, especially when she would've done great in the girl group challenge.
Really love what she had to say about mental health and the expense of Drag Race. It's something that should be talked about more often.
Drag race should either not allow contestants to bring in outfits made by others or give them a budget once being casted so it can be leveled for everyone.
8:40 I honestly really liked tia's looks in the pre covid stretch of season 2 it makes sense that it was lockdown
I appreciate this conversation and I am so proud of Veronica for having it.
I will add it's hard to put all the blame on the fan base when the leader of the Cult is screaming how they don't want to see any fucking H & M
Tia and Veronica's glow up is gorge!!
Loved watching this, you too are just so kind and lovable!
Can we just point out that Tia has done better than those who picked on her during the season?
Don't often get attached to queens but really wish she stayed :/
can we aknowledge how fucking stunning veronica looks
I really appreciate that Veronica was really honest about her experience with depression during the pandemic. I'm sure a lot of people can resonate with that struggle. Tia is a great listener and interviewer. Much love for these two.
Love Tia! One of the best personalities of any drag race Queen. Good choice attitude,
I adore Veronica green. I was sad to see her go too soon. I’d love to see her more 💕💕💕
Great interview ladies! Two of my UK faves as well. Money isn’t everything; you two are so entertaining!!!!
As if I could love Veronica any more than I already do. First, she looks so BEAUtiful in this interview!! And she is so, so well-spoken!!
Veronica, you have a fan for life, from across the pond! Wonderful wishes for you and the VERy BESt(!!) of luck with your career!! -Ken
Tia is just so adorable! What a smart, funny & sensitive queen, so much love for her!
This was an authentic and informative interview because of both participants. I enjoyed it. I've thought of applying myself and just don't think I'm enough of a 'look queen'
I love Veronica for this it was soo honest and open. She was done dirty I hope she’s on All Stars UK S1 when it’s time 🤍🙌🏾
Now that VG is gone, I can really see how not herself she was on season 3.
she’s actually spot on with everything she’s said. like, USA drag race, they get cash prizes for doing nothing exceptional, let’s not even talk about the $100,000 dollars they get if they win.. what does the UK get? a badge, (iconic, yes), and a TV series that no one really gets to see?
i honestly do not understand it.
