- RuPaul’s Drag Race contributed to bringing the art of Drag into the mainstream. The show also helped propel the careers of drag performers like Jinkx Monsoon, Trixie Mattel, Alaska, Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change. But, is the end near?

People have to remember (especially US watchers) that everyone is allowed to watch other franchises but just because a country gets there own drag race doesn’t mean it’s “to much or to much to taken in” it’s not for you it’s for that country and drag artist to have there own drag race and chance to be one, people have been asking for many country’s to get there own drag race (Mexico and Brazil being one of the most requested) and getting it
I’m really liking Brasil, even tho my fav was eliminated first.
Yeah, I also know several swedes who only watched our version and nothing else
Exactly! I think we should just enjoy having this much drag content while we have it. It is good that different countries get queer representation in the media, and that might not last forever.
Honestly it’s not dying, it maybe a little over saturated but it’s alive and Well.
Yeah. It's a franchise at maturity 🌟
It's not dying but it's not exciting anymore. Each season is basically the same so it's getting boring. They aren't really mixing things up all that much. Plus, the queens are different now than they used to be. Queens now grow up watching Drag Race. They come in with all kinds of support from designers, spending thousands of dollars on their wardrobe, already have a fanbase from social media. In the beginning, those queens had no help at all. Those queens were tough, mean, world weary, and a little bit crazy, to be honest. Yes, its a drag show.... it's a talent show... it's a fashion show... but it was also kind of a freak show (in the best way possible). Now it's just meh.
I would have become overwhelmed had I not already stopped watching from fatigue of the celebration of toxic conflict.
That’s why I liked season 14. It was a nice relief from the forced drama.
The international seasons are much better for this. They still feel more natural
one of the biggest things i think people fail to realize is that the show will not go on forever, these queer representation shows will soon either die or be replaced, so the only oversaturation i can see would be the constant US all star seasons and specials like the christmas show. any international season is supposed to be viewed and made for that specific international audience so they have the representation they need. i feel like people fail to realize not everyone speaks english and the show will die off someday. now for the all stars thing, i understand we don’t need it every year, but international seasons being successful doesn’t mean it’s saturated too much, and the only argument i could see being made is the fact that they premiere so close, overlap, and are extremely consistent/consecutive.
It could go for a long time but I think if Rupaul retires they are probs making a season for who could host
Yeah I just wish they spaced out the seasons and changed the mold a bit
Totally 💯
they’re not gonna space out seasons if it’s gonna leave money on the table be realistic
It is not dying and I hope it will never die. We need as many rupauls drag race shows as possible in as many countries as possible.
We need the LGBT community to be visible everywhere so it becomes normal and no longer controversial for locals. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
given that the ratings are bigger than ever and it’s expanding worldwide i think you can say it’s definitely not “dying” lol. oversaturated maybe but that’s still very much a symptom of it not languishing but thriving, they’re meeting the demand from fans
There's also Call me Mother, Camp Wannakiki and Sew Fierce. I'm retired so I watch it all, but I can see how others could be overwhelmed.
And Dragula and Gold Rush! I loved House of Drag too
The US franchise might be dying but some of the internationals are a breath of fresh air and are thriving so...
Us is not dying no where near close to dying usa has the budget like they just raised the prize
I do consume it all.
😱 iconic!
This is ridiculous - how long have we had beauty pageants for (they don’t have near enough the fun as drag race)? Pageant contestants have evolved today that you could safely see a woman dressed and beautified to a level beauty queen and yet we still have beauty pageants.
The problem is that there is no break between franchises and seasons so there is no need to want a new drag race show.
I remember 2020 and 2021 being completely about drag race. I mean regular season, all stars, canada 1, uk 2 and españa
In essence it hasn’t died for me but since it’s no longer up to date on Netflix I have lost touch. Being in the UK also adds it’s difficulties but 🤷♀️ I’m cheap
Same here in Canada. Crave has all the seasons including new ones. But Netflix only has the old seasons.
Drag race always had problems to stay on air ..even though they get emmys .. just look how many different homes DR US had already
Lol you people live off of that show but also want it to “die”!?
Honestly, I dont remember the specifics at this point, but I was debating taking a look when some rather concerning comments from RuPaul were coming out, in relation to trans people, and I have enough other content to watch so just moved on.
How lucky to be an English, French and Spanish speaker! I am learning Portuguese so Brasil is giving my language skills some spice. If I had as many choices as you, I would likely feel overwhelmed. You have three times the content competing for you!
Aaaaw Portuguese is such a beautiful language!
Definitely too much, and it’s definitely too much production.
Half way through the last all stars. I’m taking a break. (Mostly cause Kandy Muse and her over production.)
I don’t see it dying tho anytime the soon tho
I have a long train commute so I watch it all and I'm loving it
🤩 What is your favourite franchise?
No it is not. I must admit I don’t watch all the countries seasons but that’s because I don’t live in those countries I watch all the English speaking seasons
What's your favourite franchise?
@@guihuppe cañada by far
😍 LOOOOVE Canada. The set is so pretty too ✨🌟💫
@@guihuppe it isss
great content king!
Thanks 😊 🥰
I just love hearing you say the word 'button'😏
Oh boy 😅 Did I mispronounce it?
@@guihuppe Not at all. Your French/Canadian?? accent is very charming 👍😊
I am ⚜️
I don't believe it's dying, but it has hit a creativity block. I would personally appreciate a less edited and more realistic format that still maintains the competition perspective. Something along the lines of classic Untucked where we'd have freehand/handheld camera shots of the queens actually relaxing, having a drink and/or a smoke with genuine kiki between them without excessive focus on the game. Now it's just becoming regurgitated scenarios with new identities every season. It needs to find a new reality based balance.
I like the Canadian franchise for that reason. They put the equivalent of Untucked in the main episode. It's so entertaining!
They cannot do handheld shooting anymore on the US seasons. It is a union crew and there are two problems with those types of cameras. They're very heavy to have on a person all day long and the covid precautions are still in place which includes limitations on proximity, contact with people, etc. so they cannot get that close.
No
They just make too many seasons too quickly. The seasons aren’t spaced enough. It used to be like a year or more before a new season but now it’s like there’s a winner and then six months later, we’re halfway through the next season lol
Totally 💯 it feels like a marathon now 😅
The thing is THAT THERE COUNTRY DRAG RACE ITS NOT ARES
oh 😅. i read the titel of the video, is RuPaul dying, I was like I don't think so
No it's not diying, It's taking over the world.
No, it isn't.
promise drag race is not dying honey ❤
Short answer: no
Long answer: also no
If you milk a cow too repetitive too close intervaled and without stop; mama the cow dies
You forgot to mention "La Más Draga" as the biggest display for drag art in Latin America
¿La más criada? Por favor. Ese programa es un himno a la corrientez y el mal gusto. Ni siquiera se ve popular o mexicano. Se ve corriente.
I think you're mostly inventing a problem that doesn't exist. Yes, there's a lot of franchises, but you're not required to watch them all, and not watching international seasons hardly impacts their ratings since most people outside those countries are just watching on WOW Presents anyway. At the absolute worst, watching all available Drag Race is 5 hours a week, and that's only happened once. Normally it's 2-3 hours a week to keep up on all the franchises. That's hardly unreasonable or unsustainable if you like the show.
