Just for clarification, they don't duct tape the doors shut, they just put one piece of tape on the doors so that if a Queen tries to open the door, the tape will rip and the crew would be able to tell.
She did not eliminate herself directly; she named herself as the one who should be eliminated when all the drag queens were asked. However, the judges ultimately made the decision to eliminate her.
I mean technically she didn’t eliminate herself, she offered herself up to the potential of being eliminated depending on whether or not she lost the lip sync. dela just fully eliminated herself
She didnt. She nominated herself but still participated in the lip sync, and then was eliminated. She does get credit for being the first one to nominate herself though

So, back in school, we went on field trips that required hotel stays. The tape on the door isn't what you think it is. It's not like being completely taped into the room and the door won't open. What it is, is a piece that will show that the door has been opened when you are not allowed to leave the room. So if they walk by the door and see the little flap out, then they know someone left the room.
Yeah I recently watched season 5 (I haven't been watching for that long and am kind of catching up in random order) and I could not believe they made them transvestigate celebrities, truly insane.

The problem wasn't queer people using the words for themselves, it was the straights that watch the show thinking they could use them too. Although the cisgays can be nasty about us trans folks, so honestly, it's a good move all round.
We truly haven’t. I think Yvie was supposed to fit in that box, but she was never a spooky queen. It’s so mind-boggling how good the queens on Dragula are but how rdr hasn’t managed to find a single horror queen in 12 years.
some of these comments are very disappointing. trans people (specifically trans women) are instrumental in the drag space and they should be treated with respect.
I don't know if you will see this but you should rank Ru-veals for different queens. Cause I am in the camp of a good reveal doesn't leave behind clothing all along the stage. I'd like to see your take on this topic
The “bottom 2 curse” was originally broken by Priyanka on CDR1, but Symone was the first person to break it on US (non-all stars) drag race specifically
interesting too is that as of All Stars 7, production seems to have semi relaxed their decade old willam-induced security measures. including letting queens have their cell phones in the rooms.
Social media definitely existed when Drag Race first started. RuPaul was a brilliant marketer because starting in season 1 he'd say, "hashtag Absolut" or whatever. He was using social media from the very beginning.
The "Consider the episode" vs the "Consider the track record" thing is really simple, sociologically speaking. Considering the track record is the obvious thing to do, the simplest route. Ignoring the track record required undue emotional labour, and forces people to risk having an opinion that might not fall in line with their peers. This is NOT a petty risk, so many of our decisions are made because of this kind of thing. People always choose the safer route.
I wish Lill had been able to change her outfit for her last lip sync. I don't think she would have beat Rilisa, but she would have had a better chance.
It really is wild that they can only communicate with notes. Like I know the doors aren't literally taped shut, but what happens if they have a medical emergency and can't get themselves out? Does production hand out Life Alerts, or???
@@bekaz13 don’t quote me on this but i do believe at all times that there are people hired to kinda be outside to see notes, but no for sure they need to have an emergency button system or something bc it’s SO dangerous especially with how taxing drag can be on your body
@yourdadjustcallsmekatya Yeah like I'm thinking of situations where they could make it to a phone but not the door. It's obviously not super likely if nothing like that has happened in the 15 years they've been making the show, but if I were a contestant it would def me nervous.
They’re not taped shut. That would be a risk to health and safety/fire risk (and apart from anything else, the hotel couldn’t allow that.) There’s just a piece of tape across the frame so production can see if the Queen opened the door.
I know Drag Race Mexico S2 allowed the queens to change outfits for the bottom 2 lip sync and, coincidentally and/or curiously, most of the ones who did change the outfit went home. But for non-All Stars seasons, it's rare.
my mom used to take students internationally for trips (like high school students) and she would do the duct tape thing. they just put a piece of tape on the door that can easily be removed if someone needs to open the door, but they can't put it back when they go in because it's on the outside. It doesn't keep anyone in the room, it just lets the teachers know if the students went out.
I think they should do a “third times a charm” season where they only bring back queens who have already been on all stars once. That way we can see a lot of the queens again but they’re on more even footing.
Could you make a video of all the eliminated queens outfits?!? I would love to see them, but can’t be bothered to go look through them all and compare it with the other queens! 😅
Hey ! Do you know if next time you could do this with international queens too ? Cause you have incredible records that truly changed the game like Keiona being never below high for the entire season in France 2
10:15 Lip-sync For Your Life is the regular season format. All Stars has Lip-sync For Your Legacy. And it still in place for some All Star seasons (like Global).
I know it was pretty short lived, but I think Anetra is why the lip sync smack down was changed. I will die on the hill that they planned for Spice to go home the week, thinking either Anetra or Jax’s name would be picked and they’d choose Spice for the easy win, or Spice’s name would be drawn and she’d have to pick her poison. Then when Anetra said fuck that I want to play fair and Spice was safe production was butt hurt like when Naomi eliminated Manila. I also think this explains why Spice was eliminated the following episode since personally I don’t think she was bottom 2 worthy and that some of her critics that week were a bit BS, it was their attempt to course correct.
The 3rd time winner thing was also a 'curse' for survivor too and lasted until Tyson broke it in I think blood vs. water 1 which was like season 26 or something
My arch nemesis JackFed!! I love both of you guys! Not to disparage her, because I adore her, but Bob has said multiple times on her podcast that Kim was the first queen to do IG photoshoots of all her looks. Season 8 wants to take all the credit.
Who was the first queen/queen to popularize having an exit line on the runway? I would guess Mrs. Kasha Davis on s7 but I haven’t seen some of the seasons before
It took me a while to understand why the mini challenge was about and specially why it would even be offensive, I literally thought they were talking about post, I was baby x.x
Years later and I still do not believe that Manila deserved to be in the bottom in the makeover. Did you see Monet?! Patty's face was Casa Blanca white 😂
Just for clarification, they don't duct tape the doors shut, they just put one piece of tape on the doors so that if a Queen tries to open the door, the tape will rip and the crew would be able to tell.
They also duct tape the peepholes so they can't see other queens coming or going from their floor
The idea that they duct tape the doors shut so that the queens can’t escape is hilarious to me though
!!!!
prolly would be a hell of a safety hazard to duck tape them shut in their rooms 💀
Something something gia gunn doors
can't wait to hold space for 10 more queens that revolutionized drag race
I didn't know that was happening 😳
Alaska saying you have to base it off of the challenge and then keeping Roxie Andrew’s to the end is insane.
Yes... but she landed her her t-shirt!!!
To be fair to alaska, Roxxxie was never the worse in a particular challenge, it was just by default because of how stacked the cast was
she was playing the game
