[@skzip888]

Drag Race has that working class struggle that appeals to a mass audience; the pathos of escaping an intolerant world only to end up being harshly critiqued by your own community. WeHo seems to perpetuate the Velvet Rage myth that gay men must be smuggly upper-middle class and constantly the center of attention to be happy. With housewife shows there's at least an implicit commentary on the Feminine Mistique, but this seems smug and beige. It might be better if Michelle Visage appered at the end of each episode to summarily judge everyone's life choices.

I'm missing the longer drag race episodes. I don't feel like we've had the opportunity to get to know the queens enough this season. And the runways feel like they are over in one single heartbeat. Fingers crossed they return to the full length in future seasons.

[@eddieortega2203]

The thing is I'm not that upset about the 40 minute episodes, its the fact that they decided to do it with the biggest cast yet and made the editing far more difficult to watch with major jumps and lack of screentime for all the queens, especially on "the biggest snatch game yet" being quite literally the shortest with 20 seconds of a runway. It will ease up toward the final episodes with less queens, but they set up this season with arguably one of the best cast

[@colinekszczecin]

Representation? A few fit good looking gays, most of whom are actors to an extent, is such a great diverse cast... not.

[@Angelcatlatteyt]

I said this on reddit but I'll be 100% honest, if they gave this show literally any other time slot (either before drag race or after untucked) I don't think fans would be half as mad since it wouldn't have felt like it was taking up show space/people wouldn't feel like they're being tricked into watching it. If they had done that, and actually cast Willam (she had auditioned but didn't get in, thing is the drag race fandom would be way more likely to watch if she was there), maybe they could get more of their target audience. It was a bad initial move, and made a lot of people mad, but it didn't have to be as much of a disaster as it was. But I haven't watched the show so for all I know it's fine. Just could have had a better launch/better scheduling

[@lauriechan1426]

1000% agree with this. If they did drag race, then untucked and then this, the reaction would've been soooo much better

[@Angelcatlatteyt]

@@donlepard7614 I mean if they want drama. Honestly any relatively well liked queen who lives in the area would probably draw some viewers, I mainly say Willam since she's the one I've heard auditioned. But from what I heard Bob and Monet were in an episode of the actual show so if they wanted a less controversial pick they could have asked one of them probably (unless they're too busy as is)

These 6 men do not really represent the LGBTQ+ community and it seems disingenuous to claim we should be grateful for any representation. Great commentary as always, Matt!

I would totally be down for a friends of WeHo show. I would just want it to have a diverse cast of interesting queer people who are actually friends, and not… whatever that is. Do they even know us? We don’t want to see more Todrick, unless it’s him sincerely acknowledging the harm he’s done and a commitment to addressing his problematic behavior. Imagine a show centering around people in Willam’s circle of friends. That could be hilarious, interesting, refreshing. They might even be able to avoid casting a reprehensible, irresponsible fop who’s despised by most of the queer community. Imagine!

[@kurtb1980]

this didnt age well with the Crystal Lubrikant controversy 😭

[@jarrodholbrook6176]

Todrick imo is not likeable and has a huge arrogance about him. Plus, how many ppl keep coming forward about his behaviors yet he still says ppl are jealous/I’m not the problem etc. I’ll admit he is vocally talented but ego always overshadows talent.

[@2u2a]

I am really surprised that Todrick keeps getting opportunities even though his horrible work reputation is well known and it is also known that he isn't liked by audience. I was really surprised to find out that he landed some reality show, then I quickly forgot about it. Because nobody cared. And now that, as usual, it ends up in flames and in bad taste reactions, we are talking about it.

[@sbanks4421]

I gave up on him along time ago… And he is STILL lying about “his house” by claiming that he “bought it” and owns it… That is an outright lie! He is only renting it!

[@lookoverthere9383]

I get so annoyed when I hear about Todrick saying because you are gay you have to support more gay men in the spot light. Yes, we need to have more representation, but where is the same call for lesbian/queer women content ? Drag race gave us a tiny bit with Victoria Scone and the amazing trans women, but that’s about it. All other queer woman things are normally cancelled quite fast or not as highlighted. If you want to give us diversity, give us diversity. This isn’t it.

Toddrick is just a shallow person, whose only interested in his personal gain. There has been countless stories that everyone has heard of (specially if you live in LA and frequent the weho scene) about how awful and shady he is. It’s almost like Perez Hilton. Just so shallow and lacking any self awareness.

I'll be honest- I'm 100% disappointed by drag race this year. There is just no time to see the girls or the outfits fully( a quick up and down is not ok). I'm not watching Weho at all. I watch drag race the next day so it doesn't come up in between. Sure I'm happy for a new show but is that the cast we want to see? I don't think so.....The fact that Toderick is on it is a real shame! I'm sure he brings the "drama" but can't they find someone else to give the spot light too? He's been in so many things- why add him to this? Thats how I feel

[@williamtheantioxidantqueen3546]

Dorion is a business man. He read the friggin contract. Gurl bye

[@LetsWinWithTim]

The fact that even Todrick admits his inclusion was 'controversial' just shows how out of touch the producers are. I mean... know your damn audience!

[@marielaausher]

I have the theory that this was supposed to be Todrick's show. Like, the network wanted to give him his own show, but when they realized that he wasn't going to be able to get much audience by himself, they decided to get him a group of "friends" and tried to replicate the Real Housewives format. That's why he was so offended with people hating on the show while the others just stayed quiet.

[@normann2]

He was told he was going to be on a show called the The A listers of LA😂😂😂😂?!? Talk about delusion, none of these are anywhere near A list. Not even D list…they’re the wannabes of not even WEHO.

[@iced_latteZ]

Toddrick thinks he knows it all. He is very much not humble and a chronic liar. And then thinks we should just like him? Producers are going to stop casting him unless he changes his act. I can see the only reason they keep him around is because he knows how behind the scenes things work.

maybe we’ll get hour episodes next year, but they won’t change this season again… tbh once we get down to there being fewer queens i think people might actually start to be able to enjoy the shorter episodes… it’s always toward the later part of the season people start meaning and groaning. it’s been rough starting w 16 girls though. and why does ANYONE (other than the LANDLORD-😖) care about todrick’ rent?! lololol

[@basil33]

It’s cause he was flaunting his wealth for clout in a video about buying his dream home, but people felt deceived when it came out that he was renting

I believe the cast of WeHo are under fire for many reasons, one of them being Todrick Hall acting like the typical entitled brat and not taking any ownerhsip who prefers to write a letter instead of addressing the issues head on is really pathetic and disingenuous. Secondly, they show no real life struggles within the lgbtq community from not being accepted by their families, hunger, homelessnes, hiv awareness, etc. Lastly, from being a meaningless reality show they are taking up space from my favorite show, it's disheartening that I was so excited for this season just for it to be cut by 50% and rushed through as if it haven't won 24 Emmys.

It does suck that there was hate against a lot of the members in this show (undeserving hate, btw). Of course, Todrick didn't make it any better with his posts on IG. But I definently feel for the other cast members who were lied to, and who had hated directed at them because of the change in time. But, yeah, the show wasn't diverse at all. I mean it is great that there are black cast on there, that it isn't just a whole bunch of white gays. But if it has to be men, where are bisexual/pansexual men, ace/demi men, trans men? I get that the show has "gay" in it, but gay has been used as an umbrella term for ages now. I just, this show could've been good, but it just felt weird trying to cash in on LGBTQIA+ experience for what? And then we have Drag Race where it's the biggest cast yet, though the episodes are cut down to 40mins, you really lose a lot of drama, and a lot of character with the shorter segments, that now that it's back to the full 60mins, it's going to get a bit boring with only 6 cast members.

[@Oscar-br9xq]

[@MrQueerDuck]

Feels so wrong of MTV to shorten RPDR and move Untucked. Zero desire to watch Friends of Whatever. I feel for the queens who get on Drag Race and only have a few seconds airtime to show their outfits and and other efforts. Why take such a popular show and lop off a third of it?

[@danieldunne4256]

WE could have supported the show but put more energy into NOT supporting the show. Either out of loyalty for Drag race or hate for Toddrick which is twisted. I see the hate in the comments and it's unnecessary.

[@mattheweck269]

So......... they are upset with the actors on the show NOT MTV...? Let's honestly break this down; MTV made these choices, MTV made the shows, MTV cut Drag Race. Drag Race is edited and done. They aren't going back to fill the edits. Why are we, as a community, attacking our own when it should be the executives at Paramount? The fact one of the actors didn't even publicly come out, gross. I would love to see actual friends like Logo's A List New York. Not the best, but it felt more real.

[@justavideodiary]

Why are other reality shows not receiving a similar backlash though? All people in popular shows of the same genre are 1) privileged 2) entitled 3) problematic. I mean, Kardashians, hello? Any of the Housewives etc? Also, surprised the reality show is scripted and fake? Are you for real?

[@misty_oar]

I think Drag Race episodes were cut down so more people will watch Untucked, as that's the part that's been cut from the show.. Seems pretty obvious to me. This show should probably have been scheduled for after Untucked instead of in the middle of Drag Race and Untucked, probably wouldn't be receiving this amount of shit if that was the case.

[@furiusnecroiris701]

The Real Housewives franchise work in a way, for that reason people love it. The real friends of We Ho doesn’t work for different reasons. 1 they name is fake they aren’t friends they could be friends like dogs and cats. 2 if What Dorian said during the interview is real that mean MTV lie and manipulate them or at least Dorian. 3 We Ho ( I don’t wanna write the entire name every time ) try to use the formula of The real housewives, at least from the scene I saw to me look like this, if I’m wrong I will do modifications on my comment. 4 Housewives ( same as write before ) show the lives of the members of the cast there family and what is best the frights, the feuds, and the drama between them, for that reason work.

Why would you need to take away from drag to make room for this housewives knock off? There is barely anything worth watching on MTV.

[@lieflove12]

That whole overview of what Todrick said seems so shady and manipulative on Todrick's part. Like it's full of logic fallacies and conveniently leaves out details. I do think that the 40 minute episodes are not their fault and it's just because of MTV's lineup and the fact they got squished in there. But to deflect criticism by saying people should be happy to have representation? Idk if he's just parroting, but I've noticed this pattern of deflecting criticism within media for a while now. "Why do we need representation? For the sake of representation." That's a circular argument and it's being used against us more than you think. Representation is not a about the numbers, it's about quality and variety. And a fake reality tv show called the "real friends," being put in between drag race and untucked in order to force viewership, understandably, will receive a lot of criticism. I just think it's directed at the wrong people and I don't think the people at MTV realized how rabid these drag race fans are lol. Or maybe that's exactly what they wanted in order to get the show attention.

[@MissParqueMartini]

todrick needed the money to finally buy his dream home or at least pay back the rent
