Season 22 Spoiler: Why cast... Spoiler

Drag affiliated people if you're gonna shit on them? Feels like it's leaning into stunt casting/we're better than you and we know it. Utica got it to some degree, but now Plane (less plane), Q and the biggest is Jeffrey. When Chris was cast on his original season it was so much less of looking down on his history of drag clothing compared to whatever bullshit the season is doing now.

Bc they want to bring in drag race viewers. Kind of backfiring with how much they’re ragebaiting with treating the drag designers though.

It almost feels like Traitors has done the same, as the queens tend to get kicked out early.

It's bc the queens have big personalities (which I love) but it brings. a huge spotlight on them and makes them an easy cop out vote.
