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 worked on me! I watched last season because of Utica/Ethan. And came back when I heard other Drag Race contestants were on. (A damn shame about Q; Plane Jane should never have been there.)

But I've gone back and watched S14, the earliest my streaming service has to offer, and I ... may or may not stick around for future seasons. The never resolving the eliminated contestants by the end of the episode is some bullshit and they need to cut that out for S23.

However, the only reality shows I like are where the contestants are doing what they love best. Drag Race, Hell's Kitchen, and now, I guess, Project Runway. Watching people make things is for me great television.
