I can't believe we're already through with another season of RuPaul's Drag Race. I'm starting to feel ancient, since I started this channel back when Season 12 had just wrapped up. Another cycle is behind us, and a whole new batch of rigged moments is here to dissect!
From outcry over Sugar and Spice, claims of Sasha Colby getting favoritism, screams of "robbery" about Marcia Marcia Marcia, and Loosey LaDuca, we have a lot to go through, and as we always do, we'll go episode by episode to determine what is rigged and what is fair throughout the entire season.
Was the top 4 rigged from the jump? Was the elimination order bogus? Was RuPaul on too many coffee enemas?! We'll get into all of it.
Let me know in the comments below what you think the most rigged moment of the season was?

Oh Derek, i would agree with you but then both of us would be wrong
Bucy I would ask for your opinion, but there's no need to add to some of the dumbass comments i get 😘
Bucy where are youuuuu?? 😭 imysm
To quote Sugar, "Not the two enemies sitting next to each other!"
Love you Bucy
@@karlrassmann4604 what the fck is she saying?
The way sasha winning was so clear from the moment they showed a queen asking "omg is that sasha colby?" in the trailer 😭
From that moment on, I knew I was just watching to vicariously enjoy the ride and see what the other queens would do. It's like watching a movie made after a book- you know what's gonna happen but you still wanna see how it plays out 😭
@@user-uv4rg2qp7c literally 😭😭
fr. the way ru addressed sasha as "mama" and all the praise she got and all the queens saying "should we go home" when she came on. god i love sasha
Sometimes the established professional queen loses to the underdog (think Chad Michaels). There was still a chance for Anetra to take the crown, tbh.
@@essaly7969 i mean, no one was saying that the season was a chad michaels m&g
I want to see a talent show where lip-syncing is not allowed.
I love the fact that this could either be really interesting to see how the queens would think more outside the box or see how much of a shitshow develops 😭
it would be interesting but lipsyncing is such a huge part of drag and for most of them is what brings home the bacon so it would be weird to forbid it
This. 100%. Anyone who does a lip sync in the talent show should be eliminated on the spot.
The Voice
@@60wattmoon what kinda lipsync though? Because Jax/Anetra/Marciax3 did “lipsyncs” but they brought an additional talent so to me it made it good… but its still a lipsync number
Marcia left in the best way. She wasn't "robbed," but she went out with the BEST lipsync of the season.
I loved that for her. She went out fighting tooth and nail and left in high regards.
I'm hoping they get her for AllStars 9 or 10, I just feel like if they don't tap Marshax3 before 2025 she'll be too big. She gives me huge if Trixie was pageant vibes, with Katya's brilliance in the moment.
@@nicholasjames695 with peace and love I don’t read m3 as pageant. And Katya is way more whacky and witty. Marcia serves something different than both girls
possibly best lipsync of the franchise.
💯%
The riggery was so real that MIB couldn’t help herself when she said, “I’m tired of being at the Sasha Colby meet and greet.” Michelle was not happy with that comment, because if the shoes fit…
Fr
So true!!
EXACTLY this entire season was rigged for Sasha and I stand on my opinion when I say that she did not deserve 4 wins!
@@CreativeGamer1982stay mad 😊
The most rigged thing that happened was Irene’s brain telling her to make a glass of water.
lmao
apparently it was funny, but the edit killed her
@@trevorward6040 I mean you could say that for litterally anything, at the end of the day, she was several years late for the "making fun of YT tutorials" bit.
"Jax is put in the bottom....... because they hate Jax" TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN.
It's very Aja feeling
Honestly truth
We all know who should have gone home that episode
I loved the part of the season were Poppy said "It's Poppying time" and Poppied all over the competition
I like when she yara sofia’d her exit
But what about Miss Universe Yuhua Hamasaki winning??
Truly the drag queen of all time! (Jk love her)
I feel like we missed out on a lot of iconic moments that we would have gotten if Irene stayed.
fr I really enjoyed her 😂 but she went in, won a challenge, made ice water and left. ICONIC in its own right lol
It's crazy cause I feel like Irene was the ONLY ONE to actually ruffle Luxx's feathers. Would've loved to see the drama!
Irene for All Stars
@@dandeleon2764 a beautiful 32 inches 😂
irene for all stars
As an Anetra stan I'll admit that I am biased. BUT, what I will say, and I haven't seen much people say this really: the bitch is funny. Not like in a super hilarious, spit take way, but she has this infectious, effortless sense of humour that she infuses into almost everything that she does - even the challenges that she flubs. I think that's why I like her so much, it's not just her performance skills or her humility. I think that's why a lot of people like her.
Thank you idk why this is so hard to see
I will forever remember her runway talk of “I’m dressed as the Nevada state bird… the prostitute”. The way I screamed. Her delivery is so good. I was so upset that she was really sick on the stand up challenge cuz I really wanted her to harness that humour and kill it.
I don't think Anetra fans are crazy. should we all get together and burn down a certain someone's house? 🤣 I'M ABSOLUTELY JOKING!!!
This is why the RBF critique from Michelle was so surprising to me. She DOES totally have RBF, but I just never noticed because I related to her humor so much that I never saw her come across as "bitchy" just goofy in her own way
@@stardustmeatbag I guess that's possibly because we get just a tiny amount of runway with some floating head and anetra being anetra, slightly smirking, therefore lightening up the mood. Meanwhile Michelle looks at her twice,once without music to support her fierceness and what she sees is anetra serving rbf. While that's fierce, I guess she just wants her to switch it up a bit for some variety in her presentation. Or it was an awareness thing, so she can actively use the rbf. I don't know it's really late and I'm stoned hope that makes sense love y'all
The ‘Finally’ lip sync was so good, that double dip, when Jax spins her torso around into a deathdrop. GURL. You’re telling me they had 57 double shantays last season and couldn’t spare one
Jax should have won tbh
They both had good dips, but I think Jax overused her moves. She needed more of an arc in the song (to me).
It was obvious Production wanted Jax or spice out that episode and didn't care who went home. Personally Jax did way better than Anetra
@Ankit Mohilary jax used her face a lot more than anetra, while still doing stunts. going purely off the lipsync she should have stayed.
Dips and not Death Drops 😊
I told my husband on episode ONE that Sugar and Spice would end up lip syncing against one another. It’s just too obvious of a turn that production wouldn’t take advantage of.
Yeah that was definitely a given! I'm just surprised it happened so quickly. I guess they wanted to jump at the first opportunity of them equally bombing a challenge enough to be validly in the bottom 2. I'm sure producers were foaming at the mouth waiting for that when they got casted
@@user-uv4rg2qp7c i think they wanted to keep them for longer but they were sadly not good at the challenges but most importantly they annoys the hell out of rupaul which I absolutely love lol. During the snatch game rupaul was so done with the twins.
yep we knew it
sasha being cast and winning is very reminiscent of when Envy Peru was cast on drag race holland. the second she walked in we all knew she was gonna win, and she got a shit ton of wins.
THIS! Very Envy Peru energy with her entrance. I started feeling bad because there was almost no fighting chance 😭
@@user-uv4rg2qp7c exactly!! i turned to my twin and said “its envy peru all over again.” i love both envy and sasha but its really sad seeing incredible queens cast as almost background characters for one really popular
@@raeisgay426 its not Sasha or Envy's faults that they're amazing at their craft. I don't think there was any way around crowning them because they were gonna demolish the competition no matter what lol
@@raeisgay426 background characters is absolutely not an accurate assesment of other queens on the season. Sasha had a strong presence but definitely didn't dominate the screentime the way other queens like MIB, Luxx and Loosey did.
@@s_libraaa im not saying its their fault. it just felt weird because there wasnt any real competition
I think Spice kept being saved because they really wanted her to do well in a challenge to continue the Sugar backbone storyline but she just couldn’t win to save her life
lmaoo true, once one of them left it was obv that the other would not be able to be able to do anything else alone
Especially since they just came to have fun 😂 party was over whe one has to go to bed
@@JDUCSUDMU38948 I mean idk about that. You could tell Spice was the weaker twin
When it comes to this season. I feel like sasha colby allowed herself to be a rugurl and not the other way around
She just woke up and decided "Y'know what? I'm in the mood for another crown" and just showed up and took it lmao
I’m
So sick of Sasha Colby 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@tsukimilo Haha Yes .. I mean come on. She needed a new crown. The other crown was 12 years old. I love Sasha ❤
@@Trungthu1616 to be fair i mean once you win miss continental, there’s nowhere higher you can go 😭 like is she gonna be going back to a macys store runway pageant?
or she wants to be more mainstream and get more fans outside america? before the season started she had like 60k+ ig followers and now she's almost half a million followers.
I’m calling it now they are going to want Anetra to win an Allstars and once she does they will put her and Sasha on All Winners 2 for the rematch lmao
this is genuis level thinking i need this.
🥳Yes, Awesomeness sauce!🤞🤩
I’m now imagining a dream all winner’s season of Anetra, Sasha Colby, Bob & Bianca.
No.
This is the 4D delulu chess that makes sense in my Sweet Tea Fantasy 🍵
For me the most rigged moment of Season 15 is when the Connecticut Queens impersonated the final four and pretended to be them and because of Ru's bad eyesight, she ended up eliminating the real final four and crowned the Connecticut Queens instead
uhhhhh this part
@@DragDetective Lulu DA Loocoo with her infinite wins taking the crown, scepter, and WORLD
And then Yuhua Hamasaki came back to the competition in the last episode and snatched the crown after all.
@Brendan 9779 That's what happened though... UHaul is the uncontested winner of all seasons
We were legitimately robbed by having irene leave first
This season with Sasha was very reminiscent of season 6 with Bianca. I feel like everyone knew they were going to win the second they were announced on their respective casts. Anetra was also reminiscent of Adore where she was the fan favourite that did okay in the competition, slayed all her lip-syncs, and by the end everyone was rooting for her to win even though the chances were kind of low. Sasha was the obvious winner from the get go this season and I think if she wasn’t crowned there would’ve been riots in the streets. Anetra is 100% going to come back and win an All Stars season though and I’m so ready for it
So true! I’m glad Anetra didn’t win because of the riots it would cause and the hate she’d get would be so bad, even though I adored her
literally my thoughts , couldnt have said it better
What’s funny is that Bianca choreo’d her final lip sync 🤣 She said it on Pit Stop
I love my fellow libra, Adore, but Anetra was far more polished. Adore is more like the edgy version of Marsha Marsha Marsha. Clearly insanely talented but young and still a little unsure of themselves.
Irene's talent would've been really funny if she was pretending to be human the whole time but was actually an alien learning how to fit in normal society....Like if things kept exposing her like one of her giant elf ears popping out or turning around to expose a tail or something.
Omg that’s so smart LOL! May have held up better with the short time limit for sure👍
Genius
Yes!
I feel like if there's one queen that got screwed over in the edit, it's defintely Robin Fierce. They gave her no confessionals and eliminated her once they decided that she wasn't givin them anything and the were done with her
She got the Kandy Ho edit. >_
I would have been fully okay with them just showing her staring into the camera during her confessionals. She doesn't even have to say anything.
@@oscarsoto8428 I feel like Robin had it worse than Kandy tbh. At least Kandy got a chance to be memorable with her lipsyncs lol
@@oscarsoto8428 and Kandy Ho *actually* had confessionals
@@oscarsoto8428 Kandy Who? /s
Someone said that Irene could've had a Daya Betty trajectory where she "goes home first" but comes back to make it to the finale. I could see that maybe, but I liked this season's stakes and pacing.
Bringing back Irene would’ve been the ONE single twist I would’ve been okay with. One twist is all a season really needs.
And I don’t really consider having a top 4 a twist considering it was pretty obvious.
*this season's lack of stakes and pacing 😂
The way thi taught me to be careful what I wis for 😢 but I enjoyed the stakes too, great way to let us know we're back to the basics
That’s what I was originally thinking!
I was almost praying for that. I wanted to see so much more of Irene.
I feel like a lot of this season was Ru and the producers teasing us with the idea of double wins or double sashays. Like "Oh, y'all said you hated twists. You said no more non-elimination episodes. Are you SURE you wanted that? Are you SUUUUUURE we shouldn't save a queen you want to be saved?" By the end I feel like we had been reprimanded XD
Yes, it’s very “be careful what you wish for”.
They had such a hard on for dunking on Salina and Jax, they deserved so much better.
RIGGAMORRIS
Salina had the worst look of every single runway category through the entire competition ma’am
Those Queens get better treatment then any other Reality TV show set 😂😂😂😂😂 yall funny with those comments
but did they?
@@0Luku0 yup. I don’t think either ever deserved a win, but it was clear they were thrown in the bottom as a sacrifice to save another queen. Salina never got her flowers for excellent challenge performances because of her weaker runways. It was just sad, made her look worse on paper.
I'm sure a big consideration in not saving both Anetra and Marcia was logistics. They had a Rusical the next week with six parts written, vocalised and choreographed, and then the next challenge had five makeover participants who'd have had to jump through however many contractual and personal clearances to get in the door.
Marcia was a victim of bureaucracy.
My theory for Aura is that they saw her as a potential fan favorite because fans love “trade” and they were possibly giving her the edit of “look queen can let go and be funny.” Pretty much all we saw from her for the first few episodes was confessionals talking about looking good, and then she had a solid performance in a challenge based on looking like a ridiculous granny, so they took the opportunity to build that narrative.
They definitely were depending on Aura's trade. When I heard about producers trying to get her to flex and kiss her muscles or whatever, their intentions were all clear 😭
No, I live in Nashville where Aura performs, and she really disappointed a lot of us with her run. She's an amazing lip syncer, and super captivating live. I think production expected her to be a powerhouse performer.
@@andrewlocke6103 she was boring
@@andrewlocke6103 YES well said. I will keep standing for my local queens especially Aura because she’s been my fave for years, but yeah if you haven’t seen her live, the show didn’t do her any justice
THIS. My husband and in-laws know Aura personally. Hell, my mother in law has been called Aura’s “drag grandmother” by Aura herself. She’s so talented but those didn’t translate to the show. I do think Sasha won the girl groups challenge, but I think Aura winning could’ve been more palatable if she had an EDIT. Aura was great in that challenge, not better than Sasha from what we saw, but if the producers cared about her, we probably would at least have been less sour on the win. Aura also being the ONLY queen outside of the top 5 to win a challenge goes overlooked.
Thank you for the Jax appreciation! Her lip syncs were such a huge highlight for me this season. Sweetest Pie and Finally live rent free in my head now
Me too. She was my fav. So beautiful and talented. They let her go because she didn’t give them tv
It honestly frustrates me that they rigged so many challenges for Sasha because she could've easily won many challenges any way. It's like the production didn't trust her ability to win
I thought she only deserved the commercial and the girl group tbh maybe the makeover but overall her last 3 wins were riggary and I feel like he’s giving Sasha so many passes on the riggary
@@gaelaraiza96 Pwople must be delusional if they think Mistress’ Trinity ass verse is better than “Bad bitch bodied…..”
sasha could’ve easily gotten the win in the design challenge had they ACTUALLY wanted to rig it her way lol
@@BruhBruh-nz6yy sasha's only questionable win is the 50/50 interviews, which yeah she definetely shouldn't have won that one, but she definetely should have won the girl group so she ends up with 4 wins anyway, luxx had the best verse in the rumix but sasha destroyed the performance, and on the ball, mistress' first look was too similar to the original while sasha was consistent across the board
@@hojokarens Nope, that one AND the Ball. You can't tell me Spice was in the bottom for having a bad constructed bottom while also thinking Sasha should've won with ALSO a poorly constructed bottom part. Win was 100% Mistress' or Luxx's.
i think princess poppy broke the curse of the 2nd eliminated bcs she had so many iconic moments like her entrance quote, manifesting getting eliminated in untucked, a hilarious lipsync and departure, the rebecca glasscock look, "i'm quitting drag, you're welcome" she has definitelly put her stamp on this season for me and if she does fade into obscurity it is what she wants anyway
Her talent show is forever living in my head rent free
Showing up to the reunion in jeans, honey. It could ONLY work because everyone else was trying so hard
I still don't understand her entrance line.. why would anyone be proud about being homophobic??
@@user-qg5tn7bf2p you do realize the drag race cast is mainly gay men right. minus maddy morphosis and many trans queens, everybody is gay. it’s a pretty obvious joke??
@@user-qg5tn7bf2p It references her popular TikTok, a small clip is shown in the episode I believe
With sasha being on the show it stopped feeling like a competition. Everyone knew she would be the winner from the first episode. And of course I'm happy for her, and she deserved to win, at the end of the day RPDR is still reality tv and needs an element of ambiguity when it comes to the race. There was no doubting at any point that Sasha was was out of everyones league. I think she would have won if she was in several other seasons too. So there wasn't this sense of mystery at any point. In the finale, just her sharing the stage with Anetra seemed absurd. Her presence made Anetra seem like a newbie.
yes yes yes
THANK YOUUU
Yeah and I think if I'm not wrong Anetra also said that she knew she wasn't gonna win in the finale so she didn't even do her best.
Casting Sasha was 100% unfair to the other queens. They didn't stand a chance. I mean, it did elevate the sh*t out of this season, that's for sure. But then it took away a lot of the fun and suspense because we all knew right off the bat that Sasha would win. I thought Anetra had a chance for a while, but after her performance in the music video challenge, it was clear she was not gonna win.
The same could be said about Bob. Raja. Aquaria. Bianca. Symone.
Luxx, Mistress could've been crowned. The drama with Loosey and the fandoms reaction to it killed that chance. The fandom is to blame not production or casting
@@brycelwynnIt really can’t. Raja and Manila were neck and neck for the crown along with Bianca and Adore (in which they filmed a double crowning). Bob and Symone were up for elimination and Aquaria had low placements on their season. Sasha Colby had 4 wins and 0 bottom placements… her season long meet and great.
10,000% agree
How is it unfair??? Many legends of drag, including former Miss Continental winners, have come on the show and not done as well as Sasha (or haven’t done that well at all). A lot of ppl even predicted the same would happen to Sasha bc of how famous she was.
aura winning the grandma challenge was wild to me
You know, if there’s one girl I feel bad for this season, it’s Salina Estitties. I actually knew of her before the season, as she was almost always a part of BRITA’s virtual Unfiltered shows during the pandemic. I knew then that she could perform exceptionally well, and I was wondering what’d happen if she did Drag Race. But watching the show, you could tell they didn’t give a rat’s fart about her, hence why they threw her in the bottom every chance they could, sometimes even to save people like MIB. Honestly, with how she was treated, I don’t blame her for having that meltdown at that club following her elimination episode.
Seeing how the twins have evolved post drag race makes me think that they would be amazing for an all-stars comeback, especially Spice.
Luxx, is cocky, confident, but she proves it. Wether people like to admit it or not, she proved it everytime.
The moment Salina walked in the workroom, I knew EXACTLY who she was! I went to high school with girls just like her! 😂😂😂 I wonder if she'd ever do All Stars....
same lol in the first episode i felt like i knew her for years already lmaoo
Honestly I don’t really see All Stars in her future… and I don’t want her on it either.. she would put so much energy into her runways KNOWING that people are going to be expecting more from her a second time around and with the way the fans are they are STILL going to rip her apart for it. I can’t image an all stars run would do absolutely anything helpful for her or her mental health
Eventho Loosey has been whining each episode, I do recognize that she's been killing the challenges. The only weeks she struggled at is the talent show and the ball challenge. The others she definitely delivered and she was robbed at some weeks (like the girl group, the rusical and the makeover challenge)
Derek: "Luxx was confident, but never delusional".
Luxx: "I was robbed in the lip sync against Salina". LMAO
She was also given a huge pass against Anetra and Jax.
I disagree; this season felt wayyy more rigged than recent seasons. Loosey in the bottom for the Rusical? Loosey not WINNING the makeover? And earlier in the season, it definitely felt like they just got rid of Robin, Spice, Jax just because "it was their time" and NOT because they did poorly. Jax going home on the lip sync challenge just felt so, so wrong. Disagree with the Aura win, Anetra Rusical win, and Sasha design win too. This cast was amazing but production trips over their own dick and ruins it for themselves.
I fully agree. I would’ve loved this finale more too if they would’ve given Sasha the girl group win and let someone else have the ball because imo i don’t think it should have went to sasha. Luxx or Mistress winning the ball would have made this finale so much tighter.
Thank you for saying this! Loosey was robbed of two more wins and Anetra and Sasha were given a few wins too! This video is very much rigged ngl lol
Mild tea: heard from a friend of mistress and fellow Davenport here in texas that production flat out told mistress she wasn’t going to win because she’s such good tv. They wanna keep bringing her back
Honestly I wouldn't be mad at all seeing Mistress come back (that's actually very exciting) but it seems kinda shitty to outright tell a queen they won't win so it could sit on their minds
@@user-uv4rg2qp7c I wouldn’t be surprised to see her do something on the WOW platform
I mean I personally can. not. WAIT for Bianca Del Rio to interview Mistress on Season 16 of The Pit Stop. Or for anyone to interview Mistress really
Hopefully that harsh reality came with a hefty paycheck. Mistress deserves a lot for carrying the season. Lux too. That "who should go home" response was worth at least 50k and is a very memorable moment.
I’ll be honest, I loved Anitra dipping and spitting during her granny performance bc I thought that was supposed to be the comedy. Like the hilarious juxtaposition of a granny jumping into a split 😂😂 might just be my comedy tho
That's what I thought too! Since when is drag about a super realistic portrayal?
Begging on my knees for Anetra to come back for an all-stars season to win 🙏 But I will never stop saying that Loosey was robbed, especially since she was being bullied and gaslit almost 24/7 by 2 *certain* queens…
From day one, it was very obvious Sasha was going to win. Everyone else would be great for allstars, but Ru was signing Sasha's praises all season. Mistress ran the entire season. Which I'm not mad about, but I don't think this season will be memorable.
I totally agree that Sasha was an overtly obvious winner from the beginning - even more than Bianca on S6, but ALL these girls did soooo good for such a long season, I hope it's hard to forget / gets better over time. Especially with so many interesting characters like the twins, Mistress, Lucy, and Queen Sasha. At the very least for Irene, the season forgot about her from the beginning.
Disagree. Most memorable season in awhile
Totally agree. This is the first year I’ve been able to see rpdr as it aired and was super excited about it… but I know this won’t be a rewatch for me. Already mentally moved on to the next one.
I’m so heartbroken about the way the fandom treated Luxx this season. There’s always such a double standard (read: racism) regarding queens who are talented and allowed to exude their confidence unapologetically. She gave us GREAT television and I can’t wait to see her career continue to flourish 💕💕
Her and Mistress carried! ❤️ Really enjoyed them both
I really liked Luxx, but she didn’t have that “it” thing that could separate her from all the other “fashion”, model-type skinny girls we've had before, it all felt like a rehash and too calculated imo
@@user-mz2ne4yh2t i strongly disagree, she's charismatic and unapologetically herself. she might be similar to other queens but you have to admit there's no one quite like Luxx Noir London
@@snipergodusoppum Symone called. She wants everything back😋🍹
I'm not saying the Lalaparuza is rigged... but if they do it a third time and a strong dancing/performing queen goes home? Well, it's not going to be shocking, that's for sure.
IDK how I feel about it as a challenge. Lipsync are something we see every single episode, so even if we get some most iconic performances, it always feels a little underwhelming, especially given how eliminating Jax and Jasmine felt so forced and underhanded
Anetra said that she saved spice because she loved spice a lot and spice was like a spirit to have there and she loved that
It would be very interesting analyzing who would've won had Sasha not been on the season
Luxx
Anetra…Luxx wouldn’t have any chance…or possibly even someone from earlier in the season, like Marcia x3 or Aura
Mistress
Salina’s lip sync to Celine Dione hits a new high for me seeing her perform it live with her full comedic performance killed me
As a believer in the Sasha Colby's Drag Race theory I think they gave her the win in 50/50 to justify that she is just *such* a good TV host and such a natural at it. (Which would then justify her hosting :p)
I live for Poppy and I’m so annoyed the show couldn’t see that she is Lt. General in the idgaf war. SHES HILARIOUS.
My god so much !! I genuinely think she’s one of the kind and they missed so hard on her
she's the bootleg queen of this season
@@pbjsamwich3407 girl how do u not get this 😭 Poppy is verrryyyy bootleg Uhaul Homosexual down
@@gouwon1745 no Yuhua is painfully unfunny and bad, Poppy is cas and funny idgaf princess sergeant.
@@pbjsamwich3407 liza minnelli, lies.
I was shocked when you decided that the cast would be 17 instead of 16 and Mayhem Miller won. Great video!
LMAOOOOO i love how this has become a running gag, and how he talks about Anetra's fans being biased, like, gurl…
I love Sasha Colby so much, and she is immensely talented and deserving of the crown and her fruitful career; that being said I do think that she was pre-chosen to win.
"And I wish that story arc had gone, literally, anywhere." THE SHADE! 🤣
One of things I have to disagree with you is that you can't say that spice just had some fabric when Sasha did basically the same thing with just some fabric
And also she did change the disco ball enough
I love Sasha and think she deserves her win of the season but you can't deny that Sasha did that and say she deserved her win when you think spice should've been in the bottom for doing the same thing
If Marciax3 got that double shantay, she could have gotten a little redemption arc edit, doing great or even winning the rusical and then going home in the makeup challenge. Then Loosey could have stayed and gone home on the music video episode.✨️
You think Luxx could of beat marcia i’m just wondering?
@tsukaesa That's a good point, but I don't think it would've been hard to rig it a bit more in Luxxs favor. I do think a Marciax3 vs Luxx lip sync would be a thousand times better than the Loosey vs Luxx one we got tho
Don't you think the editors have complete control of how many laughs each queen get during comedy challenges?
I really thought the end of Salina’s arc would be a win, even if she were sent home the next day. Could have easily happened the week Marcia got sent home
Or the girl groups
When you said "they hate Jax", this is what I screamed at my screen every week...sooo robbed, she's so cool
To me the biggest rigories are:
-Robin being erased from the season
-Separating the twins as early as possible
-Jax being eliminated even tho she was killing all the lypsincs (as I saw on Twitter, the found a new storyline)
-M3 being eliminated
-Top 4: this was the biggest deal breaker to me. If you are going to do top 3, just do it, if not, then don't fucking lie.
What was the purpose of top 4 when it was VERY obvious that Luxx had NO chance at all? Her storyline was that she has confidence and she made mental war games with Lucy.
The top 3 was VERY clearly Mistress, Sasha snd Anetra (and since the rusical, I think it was very obvious that the finale was going to be Anetra vs Sasha)
even if they kept top 3 luxx still would have made it she was high on the rumix
Luxx was literally the best after Sasha, just because fans are racist doesn't mean she didn't deserve her spot
Plus we all knew Sasha wins anyway
@@MamaisGaGGed how are fans being racist by preferring anetra over luxx. Exactly what race are they being racist to bc anetra is Asian
MIB was clearly the weakest in the last episode, they didn’t make a top 3 just to save her lol
The real riggory of season 15 was Aura getting a win ☕️
Over Sasha and Luxx that week smh
@@yuhh4659 that part
@@yuhh4659Malaysia too tbh 🙈
And Salina
But I’m still happy she got the money
I so wish we could have gotten more Irene -- but she is prime All Stars material
I think a big riggory moment in the 50/50 challenge was the environment the queens had to do the challenge in. They literally made Malaysia toss pizza dough while Anetra simply had to walk around and Marcia was just sitting in a chair.
Luxx simply had to sit and be a passanger
as someone who didn't know who sasha colby was before drag race, i really thought she was one of the filler queens being praised for already having a career and I got really surprised that she was in the final, but in the reunion episode when they showed the clip of rupaul saying she was amazed by her, in that moment i realized she was production's angel
nah...she earned her wins..all of them
i also didn't know anything about her before this season, but be for real now.. she was no filler queen lol. she gave consistently good runways and performances. as much as i loved a lot of the other queens this season, sasha deserved that crown.
i’m hoping for an amethyst redemption arc on an all stars someday. she is so funny and talented and she has a great career in front of her
The hookup "drama" they tried shoving in our faces was so unnecessary. Even in the room nobody cared
I have the feeling that the moment they call her they'll try to get Robin in as well like Alyssa and Coco, Rolaskatox, Gia and Farrah, India and Derrick, etc and if the other part falls out they just say "mmm sorry babe maybe next time"
She's one of my favorites honestly. She's got a bright future, I'll bet!
I’m sorry- but the makeover was the most rigged episode of the season… the bottom two VERY CLEARLY should’ve been Luxx & Mistress, while the win most likely could’ve gone to any one of the other 3. But because Mistress & Luxx where the “mean girl” main characters of the season who ganged up on Loosey who was given a terrible edit; they weren’t gonna let Loosey get to the Top 4 over the others, but isn’t every makeover rigged anyways?
I mean im just another basic bitch who loves Irene, but come on. Coudn´t the producers see that she was amazing tv in that first episode? i was suprised that they didn't rig that. Most of the time they keep the funny/shady queens for longer just to get those tv moments. AND HER RUNAWAYS were SO GOOD. Missed oppurtunity for sure
I'm still confused on their thought process for this. Even if they are preserving her for All Stars, wouldn't it be better to give us more of Irene so more people could anticipate it? You could argue that her complete lack of screentime here could get the same results but I just feel like Irene should have had more time. She's TV gold with the package to match
@@user-uv4rg2qp7cFor real, Irene was so unique & interesting & shady & horny & hilarious, Idk how she got cut first.
I agree that the first episode should be a non elimination
i need a video about how far irene would have gotten
This.
In my ultimate delusional French vanilla fantasy, Irene stirs the pot with each queen in the bottom, which irritates Salina for obvious reasons. Eventually the bottom 2 comes down to Irene and Salina, the winner is up in the air on that one. Then the reunion becomes a little more spicy
@@user-uv4rg2qp7c love that
I do have the feeling we will see how far she will get in an All Stars season, she seems to be incredible
Mayhem beats her in the finale unfortunately 😔
Most Rigged: My opinion,respectfully, MIB should’ve won the ball, Luxx and Anetra high/safe. Only because Sasha’s second look looked awkward the way the plastic was scrunched up and empty. And if Spice can get read for tying fabric around her wait then so should everyone else, especially when there are literal knots tied on Sasha’s skirt 😭 I kinda lost interest watching after that episode since what’s the point of watching a competition if the winner is already so clear.
I love her and I’m more frustrated with production than anything,
Biggest congratulations to Sasha for winning the season, well deserved of course 💕
Sasha's plastic skirt actually had faux leaves/green fabric in it to better resemble a plastic baggie for her look.
'There have to be strong lip syncers at the end of the episode and look who they picked first; Loosey and Malaysia' 💀💀💀
sasha was in magazines even during the airing of her season. i can only imagine what she could do with the crown under her belt
Irene was brought on to go out first, she's willows genre of drag in the producers eyes, weirdo wins, weirdo goes home first or second next season (IE yvie 11- rock 12) or jaida wins 12 kahmora goes first 13, old comedy queen wins S6, old comedy queen goes home first s7
$15 for brilliant Season 15 detective work
I love Jax so much. She definitely got thrown to the wolves. I’ve been following her for a while and she’s just incredible!
Competition wise she reminded me of Jasmine Kennedie in that they can lip sync their asses off but aren’t as polished in more scripted challenges and get sacrificed on the Lalaparuza lol
@@haydenfisher1387 agreed!
Please they PUSHED Sasha Colby onto us. Like let's take her confessionals and add the villain background music that world of Wonder uses for every villains, and you would get a different Outlook on what Sasha Kobe was saying in her confessionals.
I would honestly... would put aura in the bottom instead of amethyst in the first episode because I was VERY underwhelmed, and that runway...
I don't think that was bottom 2, but I would consider putting her in the bottom for the design week. It really seemed unfinished when looking from the side. Honestly worse than Amythest's look if I'm being honest.
She deserved to be in the bottom for making us listen to blackplague's noise alone.
@@morphinpinkNot blackplague 😭😭
@@morphinpink blackplague im cryinggg
Let's be honest, people are overly biased to Sasha, she did not deserve to win on that Crystal Ball and that Interview episode. In the final lipsynk all she did is what any other Trans girls do, whip their hair and show their body. Why did Michele never call out Sasha for showing that body always like she does with others
CORRECT!!!!
Sasha is always in gowns what you mean
you have such a podcast voice, idk how to describe it but your voice and inflection in your sentences is something i could listen to for hours
well good thing i DO have a podcast! 🤭❤️
@@DragDetective girl i must be real slow how did i not know this 💀 RUNNING to spotify rn
I love Sasha but I still can’t get behind her ball win. I’m sorry but her bag look was not made of bags and that was the ENTIRE point of the runway, yes it featured and over the top “bag” but that couldn’t be made in the bag ball, and if she somehow did, she’d be read for not using enough of the material. I also just think the concept of the “Crystal” ball was too generic. They were given fabrics and jewels, which didn’t make it feel challenging, and for no one doing a bad job, it was just boring.
Saying the outfit needs to be made of bags is taking the challenge too literally. Drag queens are known for puns, so a dime bag is both easily understandable and a pun. There are many rules to Drag Race and more than one way to win.
She could have done more for the crystal one, but managed to hold to a cohesive design story for the outfit which also matters.
@@rincinerate3984 There’s no confirmation on this, but every other girl brought an outfit made out of the material the were representing for the category. Which is why I thought Sasha’s was a huge miss because she didn’t execute the theme correctly. It was a fierce reference executed stunningly, but I just saw it as a pass because all the other girls did what they were promoted to, and lack in comparison to Sasha’s because of it.
I fully believe that Sugar was not 2nd worst in the snatch game, but Spice was so bad that there was no way to justify keeping her out the bottom. The producers were never gonna risk another queen sending Spice home before they could get their Twinsync, so they were forced to throw Sugar in the bottom with her too.
No the true tea according to Roscoes was that Ru was actually laughing at Spice while Ru absolutely hated Sugar's trisha paytas and the twins didn't know how they will make Spice look as bad as Sugar in the final edit but they accomplished it ig
@@gagamax2947 oh wow really? That’s shocking because they REALLY played up Spice’s cringey moments as Miley and Sugar’s Trisha looked…fine? It definitely wasn’t good but I genuinely can’t remember any particularly cringey moments, meanwhile Spice bonking herself with a hammer and laughing like Goofy is burned into my mind. Maybe Rupaul just didn’t know who Trisha Paytas was
@coqui9879 RuPaul is older, so a lot of the really trendy stuff is not in her orbit. It would have been more interesting if they had the twins participate as a unit though.
Jax is absolutely amazing in their performances irl. They performed where I live, and did like 5 back handsprings consecutively in MULCH. I adore them!!! Wish they could've stayed longer :(
Thank you for mentioning how underrated the "In Your Room" lip sync was. It's genuinely so fkin entertaining.
Omg you’re so right about how Running Up That Hill should have been the final lip sync song instead
They did my girl Jax dirrrrrtyy but i noticed Rupaul didn’t like her. In the reunion she didn’t even speak a word. Rupaul didn’t compliment her even though she one of the best lipsyncers
Aura should NOT have won that girl group challenge…
I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UP
saying Sasha deserved her ball win is crazy…
He doesn't like Anetra
@@senorgonc2929 But the alternative isn't Anetra winning instead. I think everybody pretty much agrees that Anetra's third look was phenomenal, but the first two weren't all that great. Mistress would have been second in line to the win after Sasha, and yes I do think she deserved that more.
No literally😭 Sasha’s first look was literally and bandeu top and a skirt in pink. It felt sooooo generic. Then the third look was nice but it just felt like two pieces of fabric with some fascinators. I don’t know, it DEFINITELY should have gone to mistress because she showed the most versatility and range in all three of her looks like the BALL BALL LOOK?!
@@baguettegott3409 I disagree, most of the discourse I saw about Sasha winning the ball was that Anetra should've won instead because her first look was pretty good and even tho her second wasn't that great it was made up for with her having the best final look
@@senorgonc2929 Okay, that's a bit strange from my point of view, but apparently I'm not up to date on the opinions of the Anetra stans. I retract the "everybody pretty much agrees" then and leave it at "I think that" :D
Sugar and Spice on this season makes me want them to bring back all-stars in duos, but y'know, actually planned and with like 12 teams or so
LOOSEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE BOTTOM FOR THE MAKEOVER 😭
I totally agree with you, Mistress deserved to be bottom two that week with Luxx.
Other than Luxx, no one really fucked up, but Loosey was the only one without a clear family storyline in the runway, it was fair.
Sasha was predestined to win. But ngl when Bob in s8 walked in... We also kinda knew she was gonna win, no doubt. I was under no delusion that somehow Kimchi or Naomi could win
The idea Mistress was high for the makeover when her person had black sharpie block brows 👀
Okay then.
42:15 it’s kinda crazy to me to insinuate that Anetra could “probably read the room on what production wanted” and that’s why she saved Spice instead of giving her the benefit of the doubt in wanting to BEAT the best. I feel like your bias against Anetra exists because of her crazy ass fans, but it certainly exists clearly.
I read somewhere that Luxx and Mistress were accidentally told before their lip syncs that they weren’t gonna be top 2 so performing at the same level with that knowledge would’ve been really difficult
The riggory here is especially weird because we can usually see why they rigged or what the rigged it for. But here Aura win, Sasha’s 50/50 win it just doesn’t make sense like what are they trying to do?
the “except for robin fierce” part killed me
im convinced they sent irene home so quick cause she was sashas only competition
The ball challenge:
I thought Luxx was absolutely superior in that challenge, with Mistress as a good second.
Estitties was by far the worse.
And the rest were all pretty even. Some had both highs and lows with their 3 runways (like Anetra with that really bad candy runway but then the mindblowingly gorgeous design challenge piece), and some kept a steady middle ground.
For me Sasha might well have been even in the bottom. I had a real hard time deciding who I'd had put in the bottom with Estitties. Might have been Loosey too, but Spice was probably the right choice if taking in consideration the overall race.
(56:26) i’m SO glad you slipped in some luxx praise bc the amount of hate she’s getting (for doing the same thing y’all are praising mistress for) is RIDICULOUS!
That’s the comedy tho that old ladies are dancing like that. I thought it was hilarious lmao 😂
Tbh I think Sasha, Malaysia, and Luxx were the Top 3 of the Girl Groups challenge
They truly bodied their verses
Lol what…Malaysia and Luxx no…Salina and Loosey make more sense
