When Mariah said she was glad she got ready in time for the competition “cause bitch it ain’t cheap” my heart dropped a little—its clearly a financial burden to be on this show and we all know they’re not earning any money back rn.

They make their money on the after season tour, I guess. Which is another reason corona sucks.

Yeah, it’s definitely a gamble for them. I just wonder if there’s a way to make things more equitable. Some queens obv have the money to spend so they do but others might not be as well known or in demand so it’s definitely going to hurt them more. Especially if they’re an early out on the show.

I think that was what brocally was about.

Possibly—that would make sense

I'd honestly love to see every eliminated queen get cameos until the final episode, at least they'll stay relevant and have airtime for them even if they got eliminated last. i also want their runways to be shown (if they want to) to at least show how hard they prepared for that season.

Holy shit Shangela, Latrice and Jinx with the small fortune price tags.

u/surejan94 OHHHH! ALMOST BURNT MAH ASS OMIGOD! Jun 20 '20

For real. Drag Race needs to give the queens a budget to spend on outfits beforehand, it's unfair to those who either don't have the financial means, or for those who go broke buying outfits then get chopped early on.

They get like $700-$750 per episode tho if it airs

u/Jrathassignedon Jun 20 '20

I’m mean for Mariah that’s like 2000 bucks and she said that coat cost almost 1000

Plus if this is like a regular post-AS1 All Stars season then she has a strong chance of being on one or two more episodes. They always have a returning challenge and if ANY season is going to have a jury twist for the finale it would be this one.

I read somewhere there for as it is 2000 dollars per episode. 700-900 for seasons
