For context: This video was posted before the whole Season 15 episode length debacle, back when the only 40 minute episodes were shot with that length in mind (seasons 1-9) rather than it suddenly being tacked on later (season 15). Yes, I think season 15 has been ruined by the episode length and because the cast is SO big with these tiny episodes. That being said, I still think seasons 1-9 had great stories, pacing and they allowed us to get to know all the queens because they were edited well (unlike season 15). I don’t necessarily fully disagree with myself in the vid since I still love seasons 1-9. But I also don’t fully agree either with myself here either.

[@KG9551]

I wouldn’t mind the 40 min episodes if (thinking of season 15 here) they didn’t take up 10 minutes of every episode with the mirror scene crying awful childhood trauma stories (is that an unpopular DR opinion? Did I do it? 😂) I understand we want to get to know the queens better and in earlier seasons when the sad stories seemed to come out organically, I didn’t mind… but now they seem so produced and forced. And it’s like every episode too. I don’t watch drag race to watch drag queens cry and make me depressed dang it!

[@laneybobaney7415]

@@KG9551 agree, and the problem is that those mirror scenes started during the longer episode era, when we could take 10 minutes doing that and still have a fully-formed episode. but now that they're a common feature of the show, the editors wanted to include them in season 15 even though it meant cutting the content we care more about seeing. the 40-minute episodes of seasons 1-9 didn't have those.

[@jaykknight2248]

I prefer the 40 minute episodes. Period. If the editors aren't good enough to tell a story in 40 minutes ....what are they doing? We have 20 minute cartoons that tell more story than some drag race episodes tell in 90 minutes.

The Makeover is one of the worst "classic" challenges of the franchise. The judging is always iffy, one of my favorites is usually sent home in this episode and the queens kinda lost their protagonism to become Fairy Godmothers to their made-overs.

[@RunnerEye]

I 100% agree about the judging. It really is the “we can send anyone we want home without any justification” episode of every season #JusticeForCherylHole

[@oscarkamala]

the judging is always so bad for makeovers but the episodes are always the most feel-good then u get a kick to the stomach

[@bigiasonuoc]

I think it’s still so great. The concept of it where the crown grows onto her head, the gasp moment when she was revealed, the royalty of how she sells that dress. It’s iconic not just because of of the look but also the moment and how the garment was sold

[@pyrolusite_d]

FINALLY somebody giving canada season 1 its flowers. it is probably one of my favorite seasons ever just because it harkens back to season 2 style chaos and foolishness and overall fun. it was way better than season 2 which was the opposite, having all the polish and budget but no heart, and im so happy season 3 combined the two in a way and is an objectively strong season. also all stars 1 should be commended just on the cast alone, the caliber of talent sitting in the same room is insane, and the untucked is just legendary. #teamlatrilla #teamrujubee

[@CrystalSki67]

​@RunnerEye I actually saw another video essay person say "what if they were early outs for a reason" and I can totally understand that from a production casting standpoint which is probably why this upcoming Allstars is a half and half split of early outs and top 6s. I'm excited.

This comment is feeding my individuality complex 😩 But seriously, thank you! 🥺

[@mollywalker5790]

My unpopular opinions: 1. I actually quite like the snatch game of love. It switches up the formula and allows for some fun answers and interactions. 2. Half the time I skip the lipsync for your life/legacy. I just find the lipsyncs uninteresting and the winner is usually obvious before the lipsync even starts. 3. All stars 5 should've had a double crowning for Jujubee and Shea. 4. More older queens need to be cast on the show. Since season 13, there's been a lack of experienced queens in favour of young queens who all look the same, have the same style of drag, and rely on lipsyncs to get by. 5. All Stars seasons are a way for Ru to crown her favourites and the riggory is beyond obvious. All stars 1 was for Chad Michaels, 2 was for Alaska, 3 was made for Bendelacreme before she eliminated herself, 4 was made for Manila before she was eliminated, 5 was for Shea, 6 seemed to be in Ginger's favour before the final lipsync, and 8 is definitely for Jimbo (why else would she be cast on a non-international season?). 6. Sasha Velour's returning look was better than Violet's. 7. Shuga Cain would've made top 4 if production gave a shit about her

[@benletmepetthatdog4243]

its crazy how the lsfyl used to be my absolute highlight of every episode in earlier seasons, but nowadays (i think s10 onwards) it seems like the winner of the lsfyl is predetermined no matter how well they actually perform. also the performances have somehow gotten boring, and i dont know if thats factual or just fatigue

Some of them are hard to watch

[@RunnerEye]

Thank you so much! Seriously, comments like this feed my soul 😩🤌✨

[@AurelUrban]

I agree that there have been other amazing looks like Violet's since hers, but for me that dress is all about the MOMENT. I watched the finale when it was airing and I still remember how my heart stopped when I saw her appear in that dress. I GASPED, everyone did. She looked so regal and otherworldly... It's simply something you don't forget. The dress (and the whole look) is amazing on its own but seeing it in the moment and in the context of the finale was what made it so iconic. I haven't kept up with all the later seasons on RPDR so there very well may be a look that would top it for me, but it will forever be my favourite memory of a RPDR look.

[@zo81677]

ive always said (and its not just because im from canada and knew some of the queens before hand lmfao) that Canada season 1 has one of the best new casts of all time. the show didnt have the budget to succeed with their cast but EVERY single queen from that season is so sickening and has gone on to do well outside the show

[@diekrahe7151]

Unpopular Opinion: I LOVE the lip sync between Heidi and Jackie which was a double shantay..... one of my favourite lip syncs on S12.

I agree so hard about Violet's Season 8 Finale look not being the best look ever. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful look and the construction of the dress is lovely. But when you look past the prosthetics and the snitched in waist, it becomes not so unique. There are simply looks that I personally find more iconic and beautiful like Kim Chi's mom look from the Book Ball, Rock M Sakura's Tulle dress, Utica's Sleeping Bag Dress, a lot of Jaida's looks, Shea's skin look from AS5. Those were just some looks of the top if my head that I think of more often than I think of Violet's S8 look.

I L O V E ALL STARS 1

[@brickmariobros]

Here’s what I think they should have done with All Stars 1 Since they were limited to 6 episodes, and they wanted a decent sized cast, instead of having teams, they should have done a bottom 3, instead of a bottom 2. Think about it, this is All Stars we’re talking about, the best of the best, so make it so that one little slip up could send you end the bottom. Also, to keep it at 6 episodes, eliminate two of the bottom queens each week, and have one win the lip sync. I probably didn’t articulate this that well, but I hope it can be at least understood

[@RunnerEye]

This is a really interesting format for a season! I wonder how the season would have played out with this kind of format.

[@brickmariobros]

@@RunnerEye I feel like the first two eliminated probably would have been Mimi and Tammie, mainly because of they were eliminated early on there original seasons, and production wouldn’t want them to go far. I feel like Pandora would have made it farther, Probably not too 3, but definitely top 4 or 5. Everything else however, I’d have to do more of an in depth analysis.

[@jillianmyerly1818]

I gotta agree with you on AS1. I feel like it really had so much potential, and objectively, the teams format screwed over some talented queens. That said, it is so iconic in so many ways that I can't really hate it as a whole. I just hate the teams format.

Definitely agree on the episode length. It should’ve been 40 min and all stars once every two years or something. Ultimately quality over quantity, we are getting so much drag race that the quality goes down.

[@DeeProfundis]

[@ivyrosetheroseofdeath]

I think that the 1 hr format gives to the larger cast size that the show has to fill for the contracted amount of episodes. Other than that I think that the 40 minute length can be just as fulfilling as an hr. I also agree that seeing the queens on drag race for a 3rd time is actually a good thing bc I think sometimes production is too fast to cast the girls on all-stars right after their season when there hasn't been a chance for all-stars level growth,.

I don’t mind the 40 minute format, but the production needs to FILM for the 40 minute format. There’s a way to give the queens the proper format needed to showcase their package, but the production needs to film for storylines that can be filmed in 40-min time slots and not be overloaded with content that they have to pick and choose what is crucial enough to keep.

I totally agree about the Violet look. People hype it up way too much and that's a big detractor as well.

[@GreenPandawithCarrot]

Unpopular opinion (or rather uncommon experience): when I first watched season 6 I absolutely hated it. So, ca 5 years ago a friend of mine introduced me to Drag Race. I was fascinated and began watching everything released up to this point, starting with s1, blissfully unaware of the fandom/popular opinions. So, after celebrating Jinkx as the winner of s5 (such a well written underdog storyline etc etc), I watch the first ep of s6. I do not vibe. The only queen I'm interested in is Milk. I loved how the series slowly began embracing more alternative drag, so for me Milk seems like the next step. Maybe even the next underdog to get the crown? Needless to say that I was beyond unhappy to see the judges critique Milk so harshly and sending her home quite early. After that I was very sure that Bianca would win the season bc she seemed the most professional of them all, her drag persona was so distinct and witty (I didn't watch/read spoilers so the prediction was based entirely on my feelings/the storytelling of the show). I found the dynamics between the cast members repetitive. Also, the challenges were kinda meh. Fast forward to finding my way into the fandom and my surprise when I hear all the time season 6 would be the best season of them all. Like, I cannot stress enough how much I found it lacking the first time watching it. It was wild to me to find out how beloved season 6 is. Nowadays I think I just couldn't forgive the judges for eliminating Milk. Maybe I should give the season another try :') Sry for spamming you with my random opinion :')

I have way too many unpopular opinions to do this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nia1506]

i agree on most takes but violets is hands down my favourite look ever because i remember actually gagging when i saw it for the first time

[@ThatFont]

There was a lot wrong with CDR 1 but the cast was chosen well and it saves the season for me

[@nounous01]

Canada's Drag Race season 1 and 2 are among my favorite seasons actually.

[@valentinemiller8680]

Allstars 1 is entertaining because you can never forget how Tammie Brown acted during Mimi Imfurst vs Everyone. She was just in her own world and she was so entertaining

[@alihaydarcolak8534]

Sorry, but I completely agree about Violet on S8 finale look! For me, it was Shea on AS5 finale

[@SqueletteCoolBeauty]

100% with you on Sorry aboot it. I unironically think that a lot of the verses are actually very good in a fun away and is probably on of my favourite cast song ever. I do believe that its cursed reputation comes from the very messy and bad performance of it on the main stage which people attribute to the song, while the song is legit super good. Excuse-me, Kiki wanna kaikai???

[@modernmagica2515]

THANK you violets s8 look was good but people are weirdly obsessive about it?? incredible content as always

[@RunnerEye]

Like it is amazing, i just personally don’t really identify with it but I totally get the love for it though. LaLa Ri’s bag look however… transcendent 🥹

[@lrizzard]

i think it was the first time a queen came on our screen with that kind of budget to back up their good fashion so it stuck with everybody

[@ElinorMahoney]

Even though the makeover challenges are bullshit because of the crappy judging (it’s basically a chance for the producers to save/eliminate whoever they want to because it’s so hard to judge a challenge like that, as a lot of it is subjective), I think the process in the workroom is great for storytelling because a lot of the time the Queens get to show their softer side with people who they aren’t directly competing against. So like the challenge as a whole is bullshit but for storytelling narratives it’s pretty useful imo.

Itv spending their entire years budget on a coronation street Christmas special train crash 🤣🤣

[@joeytravis8752]

fact checked and all of these opinions seem….. correct

[@RunnerEye]

And we all know, you speak nothing but facts. If you say it’s correct, then it’s gotta be
