    Shout-out to Adore for basically being like "I tried RPDR once already and then grew into my own after the show. Now that I'm back, I don't want to sacrifice what I've built and the person I became just for the sake of the competition. This isn't for me."

    I think Heidi saying she has lost her peace and joy there really hit home. I think we’ve seen many queens feel that and try to push through and we’ve seen them break. If Heidi didn’t feel like her art was being appreciated, then she has every right to leave.

    Please do not send any hate towards these queens. Mental health matters, ok? It takes lot's of work and stress to be in a environment like drag race. The amount of backlash you can receive by saying or doing one small thing can break a person and their emotional state can just drop immediately. So if it's their choice to quit, then it's theirs.

    Ever since Adore left All Stars 2, I have always said that true bravery is knowing when to walk away from a situation that isn't right for you, regardless of what people may say.
    That hasn't changed in all this time.
    People need to stop blaming the queens and instead consider how they got to this point.
    Most of them had personal battles that tainted their experience, but most of them have also cited that the pressure of the show and the expectations placed upon them was too much to bear.
    We could all stand to be a little bit kinder.

    Literally all of them quit for GOOD and reasonable reasons. Fuck the demons lurking and fuck the toxicity that lures, & then add being filmed for a TV show. They all had legit reasons except maybe Shannel.
    Adore: can’t be herself without a well-known acquaintance attacking her to suite television, only because she’s on the judging panel. Girl, drag can be interpreted and showcased however as long as it’s entertaining, and the world needs to know that.
    Icesis: personal things going on. Can’t always publicize shit, especially immediately. Our mind fucks with us sometimes, and if we gotta check out, check out.
    Inti: she was literally being racist towards. Like FOREAL. Her outfit was miles better than Sagitaria(being Spanish) but she (Sagitaria) got praised for her cream colored fit, that complemented her skin.
    Heidi: I mean the poor thing had to have felt alone. Kandy is good at getting into people’s heads; also, her size and loud voice are intimidating. Heidi had been wanting to quit due to unfair judging and this was the straw that broke the camels back.
    Bendela: girlllll. She did the thing. Fuck the rules. This is an example of ‘you’re dammed if you do, you’re dammed if you don’t’. She wasn’t comfortable sending her sisters home and then she was being criticized by bitches like Kennedy saying, “girl maybe power ain’t for you” who also said “track record doesn’t matter”. Bendela left that toxicity and looked boss doing it.
    Ginny & Baby: 2 UK queens with so much to offer and so talented who could have gone so far. They respectively decided it was time to go and both in different matters on the main stage. Loved it. So much respect.
    We love you sisters. Y’all are the best & thanks for making drag race that much better!

    We all need to respect the hard work and dedication these queens go through on this competition and especially just being in front of the camera, and that takes a lot of commitment. We all don't know what one goes through mentally. Yes we see what goes on with what production caught but in the end we literally DO NOT KNOW what one goes through mentally.
    There are many that can pull through the competition, and preach and say it was very easy for them to thrive in the competitive environment. That's their thing.
    And of course there aren't many that can go through with it and/or just need to keep working on themselves and that's literally okay!! Some of y'all, the nay sayers who see this, we don't care if "your friends went through this and they said it was simple" or literally think you know the show from inside and out. These queens KNOW what happens front and behind the camera we don't.
    We are viewers not experts.
    We are fans not experts.
    We did not compete (unless you did then power to you 😂) but they competed.
    Send love to all the queens especially the ones that left. Let's celebrate their dedication❤

    I dont agree that Ginny and Shannel situation are the same of the rest of the queens that actually removed themselves from the competition, they were both in the bottom, Ginny wouldn't have won that lip sync anyways and shannel lost the lip sync

    I can't help but feel like Icesis wouldn't have left if the judging wasn't such a mess on CvsTW... like she put her whole Coutussy in the challenges and was slaying it and was only recognized for her Snatch Game. If I was a winner, I'd be stresses tf out too.

    i would like to say that shannel didn’t really quit. She just said herself and gave her reasons. But she lipsynced for her life and was sent home, so it’s not quitting
