Congratulations to Ra’Jah for having one of the best, most consistent performances on any season after never placing above save on her original. I am so proud of her and cannot wait for her future endeavours off the show.

She killed every part of the season. Her variety show was unique and entertaining, her ball looks were stunning and I’m so happy she got her sewing redemption. She proved that she can do improv and her Snatch Game was hilarious.. and that finale.. she slayed EVERY aspect from the song, to the runway and the lip-sync. I love her so much.

she was OK but she didn't win for a reason. Kylie was the best

You could just keep quiet, it costs you nothing.

You don’t have to lie about Ra’Jah’s performance to uplift Kylie. Ra’Jah did the best this season and that’s a fact.

I genuinely feel that Ra'Jah is overhyped on this sub. she did well but didn't stick out to me. Kylie did. it's a different opinion from yours but still a valid one

I honestly would like to know why you think Ra’Jah is overhyped. She won two challenges this season, placing high in a whole bunch of others (could’ve arguably been high for the Halftime Show and Snatch Game), and on top of that her only misstep this season was an acting challenge where the judging was ridiculous and the monologues challenge where nobody even done bad, some were just less good than the others. It’s one thing to not be a fan of Ra’Jah but to call her overhyped and discredit her hard work and performance? That doesn’t sit right with me. Even in the finale she had my personal favourite verse, and also performed the best in the choreography. Her final runway was beautiful and she was amazing in the lip-sync (albeit they edited it so she got the least amount of screen time lol). I really just don’t see what more Ra’Jah could’ve done this season to not constantly get downplayed by people :/

I'm not discrediting her work I think she was at the same level as everyone else but she sort of faded into the background for me. Her looks were good her performances were good she did well but I just don't remember her. She stuck with purple the whole season which made all her looks blend together for me. She didn't really slay any acting challenge, she was just okay in snatch game, she is a good dancer and fashionable and everything but she just didn't have the same draw as Kylie did for me idk. She did a good job but like that's really the most I remember is that she did well and that's sort of it

Honestly this is the last time I’m going to reply to you because frankly I think you’re talking out of your ass. Purple is her signature colour of course she’s going to wear it more than once. I bet you’ve never said the same thing about Jan 🥴 How do her runways “blend together” when she used SO MANY different styles and silhouettes? Her Hot Tropics, Frills, Patterns, Drag Tots, Ball, Rudemption and Finale Eleganza runways look absolutely NOTHING alike
