Kori's was great! 😁😁 Love that queen

[@Mitch-Alex]

I mean what do you expect from a cast that's all like 22 years old?? All they know is makeup and a couple splits. Early Drag Race had a variety of ages, experience levels, backgrounds, which made the dynamic interesting.

[@misanthropelife]

Drag race Philippines season 3 has younger queens but they all ate!

[@ByronAndOnAndOn]

The talent show hasn't been interesting since all stars 3, 8 years ago, when people just started doing lipsyncs en masse. It's just a matter of standout performances, which we usually have one or two of.

[@diegoreyes3604]

@ True but Anetra, Jax, Marcia, all in one talent show is a STACKED lineup. Ones like Spice, Sasha and Mistress were also strong and even the bad ones like Let Loose or Irene’s Ice water still had an iconic factor to them. The bad ones from this year are just bad but not even in an iconic way.

[@kenthuang436]

Susie and Lexi carried this talent show. Lexi moved better in skates than any of the queens on season 8 did during *that* runway theme. Remember that Bob almost fell flat on her face trying to turn around and Robbie broke one of the lights.

I think we need a break from talent shows. Majority are original songs anyways.

[@alzu638]

I’m kinda getting tired of lipsyncs as a talent unless they are Anetra or Mirage performance level. Like it’s just the same and all the drag queens can lipsync. They should really do something worth watching like Lexi or Suzie did, they were the only queens that showed real talent.

[@kenthuang436]

My talent *is* how accurate I am when I lip sync. I’d lip sync to an actual song by a recording artist to show off my skills and that I’m not someone to underestimate if I land in the Bottom 2.

[@Rhetzelle]

The lack of talent this season is concerning

[@868tatj]

I think season 16 spoilt us honestly, it set the bar really high the same way s12 did. A lot of the drama already seems manufactured too. 2 episodes in, one way to know how it fares in the DR multiverse

Stand-up as a format is not conducive to the talent show slots in RPDR… unless you are exceptional. And then, audience matters a lot… and having people like you (where it seems hormona is being hated on a lot by several queens).

Lambada by Kaoma is quite challenging to lip sync because of how fast the lyrics go by.
