Ginny and Bimini actually made me realise why I hated myself so much and not understand why. I never understood my gender or my body or anything like that. But, after their conversation something clicked for me. These two amazing people opened my eyes to who or what I am. And that is someone who is non-binary. I cannot thank this queen (and Bimini) enough for just getting on the show and telling their stories. Because they both have made me realise what I truly am. I love them both.
These things like what happened with Ben or Adore, I hate it when people say it’s selfish or ungrateful. It’s called mental healthcare. These competitions are so draining at times and the fans don’t realise that.
I'm convinced I would do the same. Some people just are not in the right place or do not have the mind to be in such a stressful environment. Others don't even find it stressful.
@@solarprogeny6736 Oh lord, here we go again. I am convinced you cannot function in normal society if you’re this sensitive. And, I never send sending hate to queens was justified. I literally kept saying it’s wrong and going directly to them wasn’t right. All I said was that it’s a reality competition and queens will get critiqued. Please, I beg of you, message Michelle and all the other judges and message all the girls who fight in untucked and tell them it’s not ok to critique other people. I constantly reiterated that sending hate and death threat isn’t justified but that critiquing and discussing a queen’s actions is. Stop taking everything to the extreme because you want to win an argument so bad.
@@xsekhmetx Sure girl, sure ♥ The comment was "Don't send any hate to queens" and you replied with "it's a competition we have a right to shittalk them". Toxic queen, we stan! But hey, delusion, convince yourself that you're not a two-faced problem.
People are being a bit dramatic. Maybe she was just tired. In pain. Or just fed up, you don’t know until you are in the moment. We’ve all had jobs we wish we could just leave but have to stay for money or others depend on us. Also, she said didn’t feel right staying and sending someone home when she’d had enough. She may not have planned this until that day. Who knows. She left a competition, it didn’t effect anyone who was already there. no big deal. Her choice.
I Love Ginny. She's a rebel. What she did took guts. I also think it was unfair of Ru to try & push a sexy female look onto someone who is openly nonbinary. Props to Ginny for saying that there's no need for hips & tits to feel sexy. Ginny seems to be one of the few queens who actually feels good in their own skin. Ginny, you've left your mark in Drag Race herstory. Love from the States. 💛
@@MrChristyCree While I can understand that, there are more ways to overcome insecurities & grow to feel good in your own skin than to force yourself to conform to typical standards of feminine sexiness. She even said she's not a fan of being overly stringent to a feminine binary. And Ginny in her usual look doesn't seem to have any issues feeling happy with herself, so obviously that path is working for her.
@@MrChristyCree I dont think Ru would ever think about something like that. We all know Ru is problematic in terms of managing her drag contestant, being no afab queen and the reason why, and her comment about trans contestant and the surgery. Big chance Ru probably told ginny that just because Ru enjoys the kind of drag that change "masculinity" into "femininity", not because Ru really care about the drag performers. Welp Ru couldnt even remember 1/3 drag performers that have been in the show, how would she even remember the insecurities they have if not because of producers telling her about them lol.
@@MrChristyCree why?! That’s like saying people who are bisexual have underlying issues, or people who can’t decide whether to be single or married. Socially constructed binaries aren’t necessarily a perfect fit for all. Non-binary simply means you don’t feel comfortable limiting yourself to one of the two accepted gender-expression for your whole life.
I have said this on another video, fibromyalgia is painful and exhausting. The filming schedule is intense, so she would probably have been so worn out. As sh3 had only just been diagnosed, she hadn’t probably had the help with the principals of planning and pacing etc. I have had it for 15 years, and it’s so hard to hit the happy medium of activity versus rest. I applaud what she said about non binary discussion, hopefully it will start a dialogue.
@@reaceness agreed much. Atleast show your showmanship and professionalism. if it's your performance shows that you are better and manage to go thru the next round, she can just hand it over to the loser.
@@banemohd6318 Yes, and even in this video, by not participating, she is able to say that she didn't really lost, which is very disrespectful to the other contestants, especially Sister Sister. Not a good showing if you ask me.
@@reaceness It's really not disrespectful though, he even said to respect her decision, which you're not. So you could easily be called disrespectful, too.
why are the people in the comments so mad about her “taking a spot in the competition” like what, are you american...? 🤔 lol the prize is not even that good for the uk? also I just don’t care?
i feel like its americans mainly giving a shit/ no one british really gives a shit /especially considering all the stuff thats happened in the last year why does someone walking off a tv show matter?
i think what they mean is another queen with a thorough passion to stick with the show could’ve competed, not discrediting Ginny’s work (she was who i was rooting for), but it was slightly disheartening seeing her not really care in the end :/
Good for them! They were unapologetically themselves and refused to change for anyone, even RU, and why should they! You never know how you are going to cope in those situations and how you will handle it, and it just wasn’t for them, an iconic way to leave the show and it will go down in herstory!
I don’t care what anyone says, as I’ve gotten to know Ginny they have quickly became one of my favourite queens of all time and I will always support them no matter what, what they did on the runway on Thursday is by far the most noble and empowering thing on this planet, she made her own destiny and I love that. Love Ginny, always and forever x
The show has a long time now being disrespectful to the non binary contestants and if Ginny felt like they’ve had enough that is valid and I’m happy they stayed true to themselves and left on their own accord. So all of this disrespect talk of Ginny leaving early needs to stop.
What I love about ginny is that she is so different from the other girls in a sense that you don't need pads and boobs to be a pretty lady. She is her and I believe that's what drag should be, it shouldn't just be a dramatic view of a woman's body. Not every woman has that body and a lot struggle with trying to achieve that body... Ginny just proves that you can be you in your own body.
I agree. I enjoy variety in drag not just one fishy queen after another. I like to see creativity and diversity as well as really pretty queens. Drag is an art form and like art it doesn't need to be cookie cutter or limited to just a really fishy look. 👑💐💋💖😷😄🎶🌟🦄
It's one of the things that I love about U.K. drag most, and even in RPDRUK 1 it jarred me when Ru suggested competitors shave or pad themsleves. Women come in all shapes and sizes, no need to caricature us. Be YOUR drag queen, not a Ru copy (not that there's ANYTHING wrong with Ru, or padding etc.) 💜
Ginny lemon is such a down to earth all round human being I would love to see them live when we can all go out again Can imagine you would be throughly entertained!!
Favorite person from the promo and favorite one to exit. Through and through a respectable witty artist that will be successful long beyond this short TV appearance
I must admit that she wasn't my favorite going in... but her "exit" along with this interview gives me MAD respect for her. And then when asked, "Ginny, what are you doing?", she replies with, "I'm making television history, darling." That was all she wrote. MAD RESPECT!!! *applause*
Ginny I truly thank you for your energy on the show. I've been discovering different parts of myself lately and when you had that talk with Bimini really made me feel like I belong. I've never felt like a girl fully and I see myself sometimes leaning more to the masculine side but still being affeminate and I just... didn't want to label myself as non-binary 'cause I've interacted with transphobes and argue with people who just don't get it. So I was like.. "damn if they don't get transgender people then they will shit on me when I tell them I think I'm neither one of the genders" but i DO identify as a non-binary person. I am comfortable with any pronoun and... I have only came out to my brother and he was a dear but I don't know how other people would react so I'll just keep it to myself and be happy as it is!!!!! IM THEY!!!!!
What Ru said was disrespectful but That’s not an excuse for her to walk off stage in a Lip Sync it’s disrespectful and unprofessional. She knew what she got herself into and she knew the rules. Saying “I went into the show not as a competitor but as an icon.” Is so disgusting and disrespectful to past queens of the series. If a queen of color did this type of shit she’s get instantly shitted on but a Yt queen y’all say she’s a “rebel” “iconic” no she’s trash for doing this.
@@PolloMaster1996 😆 It wasn't an excuse. Ginny walked out stage for her mental health. And Ru lied to her. All the queen have to show Ru that they can make it throughout the season with the clothes they are going to bring before they even let them on the show. And Ru told Ginny she wanted Ginny. Not someone else that has better drag costumes. And now she wants something different? Nah, Ru got what was coming to her
I mean I can understand people seeing it as disrespectful, but I’m kinda here for it. Everyone knows it’s not about winning with this show and she did her thing.
7:05 - 7:20 - If you're honestly against competitions Ginny, why would you audition for a reality television program that IS a competition. Your justification seems a little sour to me.
I personally think it is so wrong that Ru’s first suggestion to Ginny was that maybe she could try being “sexy”. Like why would anyone ever *need* to be sexy? If that is not the vibe of the persona Ginny is giving, then that should be ok!
I think Ru was encouraging Ginny to add a other facet as a way to be a more diversified entertainer. as a queen, I avoided sexy stuff for the first half of my drag career and embracing a sexier side gave me a broader catalogue in my bag of tricks.
I love Ginny! She's a British Icon on the Drag scene so I was overjoyed to see her on Drag Race. I loved the way she left and felt like it was the right move and time for her
"You've won a grand prize of a magazine spread with the staples through your face and whatevers in the back seat of my car". Id have walked out too if i was just tired and over it.
When you think about it, ginny basically went "ru thinks she is the top bitch, but little does she realise im just here to prove my point and then wipe my ass with her rules". Im not mad about it at all. She made her point regarding the non binary topic and then made some damn good television in the most punk way possible. 🤷♂️ ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
Ginny Lemon, quite possibly the closest thing we've seen to a Drag Race Anarchist. I loved seeing her walk off and yet selfishly wish it had happened two or three episodes later just so we could really get our fill of her madness. And how I wish she had seen Nelson Sullivan's video of RuPaul from the late 80's where Ru kept begging "HEY! CAN I HAVE A QUARTER FOR A SLICE?" at anyone she passed on the street. It would have been the PERFECT bookend to Ginny's "Fancy a Slice?" catchphrase and I'm convinced had it been brought up to RuPaul now on the runway, her face would have literally cracked and crumbled at the Judges' Table. Like the Gnome KIng in "Return to Oz."
@@hq4287 Are you making the case that there are very few ways for nonbinary people to get on TV and so she had no choice but to go on a programme who's entire premise is that LGBTQ people must compete against each other? A premise, that she in this video, said she didnt agree with. If so then I feel a little as thiugh there's just an issue about priority? In that I don't think its reasonable for someone to value being on TV more than their principals and then claim the high ground for that principal that they themselves didn't stand by. Interested to know your thoughts.
Tbh i sometimes dont get why queens put up with getting criticized on being themselves. Especially when theyre already that famous in their city But then again getting on the show is the chance of your life, to get that exposure and change ur life. Plus *some* challenges really bring good new sides of the queens that they never exposed and push them to new limits But why are the judges always trying to shape the drag queens into their style of preference and their thoughts on how a drag queen should look Its like queens are competing to be the judges most likeable queen not the best queen I bet most of them put up with this just bc they need as much screen time and exposure for their future career
Disappointing Ginny. Something very telling about people who label themselves as an "icon" or "eccentric" - it comes across as inauthentic and desparate. I truly believe the challenge here was handling judges critique to a performer who needs to work on improv and comedic skills. No-one likes critique but the best grow from it, the worst walk off and then build walls of self defense and come across as ingrateful (which I believe Jody is examining in her interview here). Ginny you may be an icon in your own livingroom - you walked away from an opportunity to get your true wish of being a global icon - instead just left a sour taste in most peoples mouths. Fancy a slice? No thanks love, would rather have a bite of inspiration.
Ginny left because a, they weren’t in it to win, they probs would have went home at some point anyways, and they just didn’t want to send Sister Sister home.
Notice its mostly Americans that are upset and chastising her for being punk and doing it for her mental health. It's unfathomable to go against authority or your job bc it's disrespectful, and unprofessional, etc. I call out Americans bc our culture is just so enamored with capitalism that not being highly competitive and cutthroat is seen as weaker, childish, and disrespectful. She did what was best for her mental health, for her body and capabilities, and maybe she just wanted to do it. She didn't put a competition where she was isolated and criticized over who she is, her drag, her personality over her well being. Why should she? There's no money involved, even if there was its a gig like any other if you want to leave you just leave. She put herself first. Maybe there's something to be learned.
I don't really get the whole Ginny Lemon thing. From the show, I didn't really get the drag - I understand the yellow symbolism etc but for me the looks/style wasn't there. Every week was pretty much the same poor attempts at trying to be entertaining wrapped in yellow... You can even see this in the interview: it's clear Jodie Harsh is cringing at the failed attempts at humour (what was the croissants thing all about?!) and I think pretty much wants to just get through the questions. In my personal opinion, I think Ginny walked off the stage because she couldn't deliver what the judges wanted which is a little bit of variation. Understand the footwear/health aspect and thats completely fine. The judges wanted to see a sexy fem look and they were presented with a very much half hearted attempt. Too stubborn to try something new or unable to deliver? Ginny says that it wasn't the intention to win the competition, begs the question why join? Personally don't think Ginny was a top contender anyway. Sorry if this difference of opinion upsets anyone and its not my intention to be negative, but I feel like maybe someone else has been robbed of an opportunity to show their skills and talents...
Ginny and Bimini actually made me realise why I hated myself so much and not understand why. I never understood my gender or my body or anything like that. But, after their conversation something clicked for me. These two amazing people opened my eyes to who or what I am. And that is someone who is non-binary. I cannot thank this queen (and Bimini) enough for just getting on the show and telling their stories. Because they both have made me realise what I truly am. I love them both.
And I love you 🤗 and I am sure so many other people do too ♥️

I think Ru was encouraging Ginny to add a other facet as a way to be a more diversified entertainer.
as a queen, I avoided sexy stuff for the first half of my drag career and embracing a sexier side gave me a broader catalogue in my bag of tricks.
I love Ginny! She's a British Icon on the Drag scene so I was overjoyed to see her on Drag Race. I loved the way she left and felt like it was the right move and time for her
She's so incredibly authentic and funny. I am dying at the ''croissant, croissant''!
Sounds bitter to me..
And THE DAMN TRUTH IS:SHE NEVERRRR SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE BOTTOM!
Oh come on she looked a hot mess
As someone who can't wear heal I commend Ginny for making flat shoes cool again ❤️
"You've won a grand prize of a magazine spread with the staples through your face and whatevers in the back seat of my car".
Id have walked out too if i was just tired and over it.
When you think about it, ginny basically went "ru thinks she is the top bitch, but little does she realise im just here to prove my point and then wipe my ass with her rules".
Im not mad about it at all. She made her point regarding the non binary topic and then made some damn good television in the most punk way possible. 🤷♂️ ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
This
First Experience Seeing Jodi Harsh. 10/10. Honestly. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

quasont....quasont....QUASONTTTT
Kuasont kuasount
Please welcome to the stage, Quasont Kuasonttt
Shut up, josh. Love u
They would be a brilliant Su Pollard in snatch game
I looove her! She is such an inspiration and so kind
“Don’t read everything you believe in the press”. Eh? 😂
Ginny has the most infectious energy. I fell in love with her immediately
Ginny Lemon, quite possibly the closest thing we've seen to a Drag Race Anarchist. I loved seeing her walk off and yet selfishly wish it had happened two or three episodes later just so we could really get our fill of her madness. And how I wish she had seen Nelson Sullivan's video of RuPaul from the late 80's where Ru kept begging "HEY! CAN I HAVE A QUARTER FOR A SLICE?" at anyone she passed on the street. It would have been the PERFECT bookend to Ginny's "Fancy a Slice?" catchphrase and I'm convinced had it been brought up to RuPaul now on the runway, her face would have literally cracked and crumbled at the Judges' Table. Like the Gnome KIng in "Return to Oz."
Pure Punk energy!!!!!!!
I Love Ginny and She knew She wouldn't win,I think She just entered to get more attention for her career in a good way!
"I don't believe in pitting queer people against each other" says the person who chose to go onto Rupaul's drag race.
Exactly! 🤣
Non-binary people don't have much of a choice in case you haven't noticed.... ☕
@@hq4287 Sorry Grace, I don't think I understand. Would you mind explaining your point to me?
@@hq4287 Are you making the case that there are very few ways for nonbinary people to get on TV and so she had no choice but to go on a programme who's entire premise is that LGBTQ people must compete against each other? A premise, that she in this video, said she didnt agree with. If so then I feel a little as thiugh there's just an issue about priority? In that I don't think its reasonable for someone to value being on TV more than their principals and then claim the high ground for that principal that they themselves didn't stand by. Interested to know your thoughts.
What is that wig
This video is sending me. Just like Ginny sent that second croissant flying with the pillow @ 14:30
It was iconic but it also gave Sister Sister a great opportunity to show off
Ginny lemon the winner for many because she rocks and is a brave original soul who's piss funny.
I think it was just another iconic moment from one of the best seasons ever ✨💕
And OMFG I just noticed the Fancy A Slice earrings! I'm deceased!
I love Ginny. Go girl. Your a first Babb. No other queen as ever just walked but your a star girlfriend. You go girl!
So many things are so well said!! Love you Ginny Lemon!!
We absolutely adore you Ginny, respect your decision 100%!
*CROISSANT !!!!* 🥐🥐🥐
She is a absolute british legend and she defintely made tv history, love her and she is a true British drag queen 👑👑👑
Love Ginny so much!! 💛💛💛
No lie. A lot of people were kinda salty but I saw her exit as badass
Aaaww! They're so smart and funny and cool! Thanks for bringing us some Ginny 🍋🍋🍋
Icon? Good lord, another Trixie..... hysterical how these queens compare themselves to Rupaul 🤣🤣🤣
"I assume I still in the competition... " Delusion: convince yourself
I Love you Ginny. 💖💕💖 I can't believe you walked off. Im gutted 😞
Ginny is everything and a half!
Love to Ginny Lemon. I think they are fabulous. I certainly "Fancy a Slice".
The "slim fast" mug 🤣
Tbh i sometimes dont get why queens put up with getting criticized on being themselves. Especially when theyre already that famous in their city
But then again getting on the show is the chance of your life, to get that exposure and change ur life. Plus *some* challenges really bring good new sides of the queens that they never exposed and push them to new limits
But why are the judges always trying to shape the drag queens into their style of preference and their thoughts on how a drag queen should look
Its like queens are competing to be the judges most likeable queen not the best queen
I bet most of them put up with this just bc they need as much screen time and exposure for their future career
I adore you, Ginny Lemon. Good to know. When / where can we see you perform?
I love Ginny Lemon 🍋
Ginny is the icon of season 2 that we needed.
Jodie is not an interviewer.
Ginny, a star.
Why is no one talking about Ru's yellow wig on the episode after Ginny Lemon left?
Disappointing Ginny. Something very telling about people who label themselves as an "icon" or "eccentric" - it comes across as inauthentic and desparate. I truly believe the challenge here was handling judges critique to a performer who needs to work on improv and comedic skills. No-one likes critique but the best grow from it, the worst walk off and then build walls of self defense and come across as ingrateful (which I believe Jody is examining in her interview here). Ginny you may be an icon in your own livingroom - you walked away from an opportunity to get your true wish of being a global icon - instead just left a sour taste in most peoples mouths. Fancy a slice? No thanks love, would rather have a bite of inspiration.
👌100% 👌
Ginny left because a, they weren’t in it to win, they probs would have went home at some point anyways, and they just didn’t want to send Sister Sister home.
Notice its mostly Americans that are upset and chastising her for being punk and doing it for her mental health. It's unfathomable to go against authority or your job bc it's disrespectful, and unprofessional, etc. I call out Americans bc our culture is just so enamored with capitalism that not being highly competitive and cutthroat is seen as weaker, childish, and disrespectful.
She did what was best for her mental health, for her body and capabilities, and maybe she just wanted to do it. She didn't put a competition where she was isolated and criticized over who she is, her drag, her personality over her well being. Why should she? There's no money involved, even if there was its a gig like any other if you want to leave you just leave.
She put herself first. Maybe there's something to be learned.
What I want to know is did Ginny flip them off hahaha
I'm glad she went, she was boring
Ginny Lemon is a real hero!!!
I don't really get the whole Ginny Lemon thing. From the show, I didn't really get the drag - I understand the yellow symbolism etc but for me the looks/style wasn't there. Every week was pretty much the same poor attempts at trying to be entertaining wrapped in yellow... You can even see this in the interview: it's clear Jodie Harsh is cringing at the failed attempts at humour (what was the croissants thing all about?!) and I think pretty much wants to just get through the questions.
In my personal opinion, I think Ginny walked off the stage because she couldn't deliver what the judges wanted which is a little bit of variation. Understand the footwear/health aspect and thats completely fine. The judges wanted to see a sexy fem look and they were presented with a very much half hearted attempt. Too stubborn to try something new or unable to deliver? Ginny says that it wasn't the intention to win the competition, begs the question why join? Personally don't think Ginny was a top contender anyway.
Sorry if this difference of opinion upsets anyone and its not my intention to be negative, but I feel like maybe someone else has been robbed of an opportunity to show their skills and talents...
I love Ginny so much.
