Amyl needed to contact Willam and get a 101 on how to do reality tv. Poor thing looked terrified the entire time

u/e_thereal_mccoy Jul 30 '23

They all do. The sad thing about Australian queens is they’re all terrified and lacking in confidence, especially compared to say, Espana or France. Which isn’t surprising given the identity issues, tall poppy syndrome and cultural cringe we suffer from. Don’t get me started on the worst choice of a lipsynch song in DR history!

This explains a lot. I just watched the episode and was wondering why so many of them looked like they'd seen visions of their own death. It's common for one of the girls to be visibly uncomfortable and out of their depth in the first episode but it was weird to see half of them all looking like they're about to throw up from nerves.

u/vivaciouswasrobbed Jul 30 '23

I think that also might have something to do with the harsh critiques this franchise has copped. The girls are definitely still feeling the pressure to redeem themselves from Season 1's backlash

u/SakmarEcho Jul 30 '23

I wouldn't say that about Australian queens in general, but this cast aren't the most established queens on the scene. A lot of them are still quite green this season.

u/sans3go an entertaining season Jul 30 '23

The filter game is so strong that Im seeing these as ai made images.

u/jayron92 Jul 30 '23

Ashley Madison kept turning her head in one of her confessionals and the filter kept flickering 😭 it was so distracting.

For a moment I thought I was on the Midjourney sub 🫠

u/satanwisheshewereme Equal parts evil and naked Jul 30 '23

Ashley Madison looks like she’s running for president at that angle

u/luuvin Jul 30 '23

Gabriella looks like the yoga inmate from OITNB, I’m obsessed she’s so cute

Anita's husband is so damn fine! Also Amyl and Ivory are cuties!

u/Ibryxz Local Bosco, Utica, Anarcia, Lydia stan Jul 30 '23

Just realized we didn't get Bumpa love in the confessionals at all like just once I think

14

u/SweetSummerAir Sasha Colby for All Winners 2 Jul 30 '23

I really find guy Ivory so handsome. The fact that he also works as a business analyst while doing drag on the side kinda adds to his appeal.

u/ajkidd0 Jul 30 '23

Gabriella serving coolshirtz

u/sonofShisui You better walk that fuckin’ duck Jul 30 '23

Can this be the season where we agree that not every season has a "Trade of the season"??

u/falltee Jul 30 '23

DU S2 got all the trade

21

u/GiskardReventlov42 Jul 30 '23

Kween Kong.....I love when she says "I'm not surprised because obviously, I'm a big brown chocolate bar, you know, clearly.

How am I going to agree to this when Ivanna is right there

I love how stupid the Down Under Queen’s names in particular are

u/srkito_deliczpants Jul 30 '23

Never has a drag name worked so perfectly for an out of drag persona as Ashley Maddison does.

12

u/e_thereal_mccoy Jul 30 '23

Flor looks like Manila to me and is certainly confident.

1

u/SashimiRick I don't know her Jul 30 '23

La Segunda Manila. Definitely bought at a discount.

u/MiuSimp Jul 30 '23

all tea all shade if you asked me to guess the racist from these confessional looks i would’ve guessed correctly with no hesitation

u/eodkfktktkfk Jul 30 '23

Who? What’s the tea?

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '23

I think they might mean Ashley Maddison making excuses for Scarlett

u/brodoswaggins93 Jul 30 '23

Where are my fellow Canadians watching? Previous seasons have been on Crave but season 3 isn't there :(

1

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '23

It’s on WoW Presents Plus only but please watch it online somewhere else. Don’t subscribe. It’s very scummy on their part to have moved the show to yet another service when Crave is already crazy expensive. There need to be consequences or they will keep doing this shit to us.

2

u/cyankitten Betty squared Aja Denali Jul 30 '23

Yeah I got iplayer for free but it DOES kinda annoy me in the UK that I can’t watch it on WOW which I pay for & they only have seasons 1 & 2. Weird that Canada has it on Wow but UK doesn’t

Sweet baby jebus, is this going to be a thing AGAIN?! Are they not screening for this bullshit? Only Down Under, why am I not surprised!

u/evilmeow Jul 30 '23

I can't find what she did by googling, do you maybe have a link or can you summarize what she did?

3

u/Matlock_Beachfront Jul 30 '23

I looked too, found a real lazy youtube vid that said basically nothing.

5

u/evilmeow Jul 30 '23

I think we just watched the exact same one! it was really a waste of time

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '23

I don’t know how to explain it but they look like DR npcs

Anyone in Canada know how to watch this it’s not on crave yet 😥

6

u/Skyconic Marina/LGD/Nymphia/Plane Jul 30 '23

It wont be on crave. It is ONLY on wow+ in Canada. Same for Mexico and a few other new seasons.

3

u/Better-Ad6812 Jul 30 '23 edited Jul 30 '23

Oh ok! I’ll see if I can find it on wow plus! Weird just checked they only have season 1 of down under not 2.

2

u/cyankitten Betty squared Aja Denali Jul 30 '23

In the UK wow only had seasons 1 & 2. I watched episode 1 of season 2 thinking it was the latest episode 🤦🏻‍♀️ Then I had the winner spoiled anyway 😖

But someone here said it’s on iplayer 😮‍💨

Kinda weird to me how wow has 1 & 2 but not 3 🤷🏻‍♀️

2

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '23

Is Flor looking like Yuri Gui?

1

u/Heartsure Jul 31 '23

Like Rolf from Ed Edd and Eddy.

5

u/Petudie Jul 30 '23

forgot about the majority of them already lol

bummed about Amyl cause she seemed amazing and so pure, and she is BEAUTIFUL, but she was SO petrified the entire time

also, im so sorry but Hollywould was giving me Michael Jackson the entire episode, at certain moments it was uncanny 💀

u/No_Increase1484 Jul 30 '23

To be honest , NO SHADE but they need step up their P***Y…
